here is my toughts i know its not have the details but some points its pretty reasonable
how about your idea?
but i want to be scientific and reasonable
Some things:
I personally feel holding the phone and talking to be quite inconvenient and old-fashioned, so I would predict 10 years from now, the speaker & microphone would/should be replaced by something (maybe directional speakers / microphones / something more hi-fi) so that we can just talk handsfree always without worrying about interference / privacy / all the problems we currently have.
I'm not quite for predicting that touch-screen would be the dominant interface, but couldn't really think of other advanced UI methods that might crop up in the near future. I would more like moving away from the passive device with a display & touchscreen that you've to go to for accessing information towards something like google glass - something that's always there unobtrusively but provides you stuff you want always without all the lookup cycle.
Also, removing the display for something wearable and still not inconvenient (goggle/glass are not liked by everyone) would be a very good technological advance.

Hi all,
Thinking of picking up a used phone to replace my girlfriend's battered and bruised handset, she is on Verizon.
Here's the usage...
- Heavy texting so needs a HW qwerty Keyboard.
- Tough - she can kill technology from 30ft with mind bullets
- Web browser, something actually usable like Opera would be great
- Camera
- Storage & player for music and 3.5mm jack for headphones
Thanks for any suggestions.
Go for Touch Pro 2
no 3.5mm jack but an adapter can be used

She'll kill that thing in seconds, I have a Touch Pro and I have to keep it away from her lol. She drops her phone on average once a day I think he he he.

maybe then something without a touchscreen as dropping touchscreen phones is a big killer

A pair of security researchers have recently unveiled an interesting new keylogging method (PDF Research Paper) that makes use of a very unlikely smartphone component, your gyroscope.
Most smart phones now come equipped with gyroscopes, which can be accessed by any application at any time. [Hao Chen and Lian Cai] were able to use an Android phone’s orientation data to pin down what buttons were being pressed by the user. The attack is not perfect, as the researchers were only able to discern the correct keypress about 72% of the time, but it certainly is a good start.
This side channel attack works because it turns out that each button on a smart phone has a unique “signature”, in that the phone will consistently be tilted in a certain way with each keypress. The pair does admit that the software becomes far less accurate when working with a full qwerty keyboard due to button proximity, but a 10 digit pad and keypads found on tablets can be sniffed with relatively good results.
We don’t think this is anything you should really be worried about, but it’s an interesting attack nonetheless.

Today I opened my shiny new Jaybird Bluebuds X and going through the manual, I ran into this little feature:

There's an app that can read the battery level on Plantronics headsets, why is there no app that can do this for others? Windows Phone apparently is able to read this too. The only big Bluetooth Headset battery app for Android calculates it based on connection time. I was never able to use it properly with my older Jaybird Freedom headphones because I was always losing the data and/or forgetting to run it to start tracking the usage.
I know this is a Nexus 5 thread, but I'm just wondering if anyone has found a way to get this on Android, or would be interested in getting a bounty going. I'll be happy to pledge some money towards this, being pretty much clueless about app development.
It's not that big of a deal, but the battery warning on these Jaybirds is very annoying, beeping constantly when it's about to run out. Nothing that a consistent charging schedule can't fix, and with a regular micro USB connector, a quick charge in the car will keep them charged up.
I'm just sad that we're missing on a tiny but cool feature.
Hi all,
I'm considering / planning an android project to upgrade my car stereo system/screen, and I need your opinion regarding an aspect.
So as for today, my car has an old school stereo and an old school screen that displays basic information, and I'm wondering if I can remove these two modules, and replace them with a single android device that will provide same functionality.
The following picture shows the desired transformation:

}
as you see in the upper picture, lower part of the dash has the stereo, and above it is the screen,
I'm sure that an android device can fully replace the original stereo and provide same functionality.
As for the car's original screen, this is the tricky part for me. This screen shows information such as the configured AC temperature, AC fan speed, fuel consumption etc. and I'm wondering if there is anyway to develop some android application to read all of this data and display them on the new android device?
anybody done something similar?
Thanks.
Post moved questions should be placed in q/a
Hi,
I use different apps for sports tracking, mostly for paragliding and each of them records highly fluctuating altitudes. Here is an example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Practically, this was a very constant descent, so it should be more or less a straight line. My girlfriend uses the same apps but on a Pixel 4a and gets smooth altitudes. Factory resetting the phone also didn't help... So I really think, this a general problem with my particular phone or Pixel 3as in general. Does anybody else have such problems? Or even a solution?
The graph you posted only shows the end result and the reason for the fluctuations could be many things.
I would think the app or graphing software you are using would ignore readings that are over a certain threshold, so check the settings. Or you can just upgrade to a 4a.
Thank you! As it affects all apps I really think that it must be a faulty output of the GPS. As those tracks are always recorded in an unobstructed environment (the air ;-) ) I can exclude almost all errors discussed in your linked article. They would maybe explain 10s of meters of fluctuation but not ~500m. Those are also not singular readings but a couple of readings in a row, so not really outliers. I just wanted to check if there are others with the same problem or if my phone is defect.
