Hello guys,
I have been searching, studying and asking people already about this, but couldn't find help.
I recently bought a Xiaomi Mi Band, for those that does not knows about this great device I will say It's features, It is a wrist band that uses bluetooth LE (Bluetooth Low Energy):
- 3 multicolor LEDs
- Vibration, pedometer and other sensors
- 30 days battery
- IP67 cert
And all this with an official price of $13.
Sadly, this device got a very poor official application for now. It just acts as a pedometer and leaving It full potential away.
I have thought on making an application that makes the wristband to vibrate/turn on leds when a notification comes out for the phone. I have more ideas but this would be already awesome. Unluckily the official app does not offer any kind of SDK or API so I find myself in a dead end.
I have a lot of experience in Java but not in Android's app, my idea is to sniff the packet sent by the official app to make the band vibrate and replicate it in every notification the phone receives, then implement a white/black list so you can choose which ones are allowed to do so or not. Just this would give an amazing life for such a cheap, beautiful and useful-probably device.
Thank you in advance

I have recently purchased and HTC Desire S it is my first smart phone so I am going through a whole new learing curve. I need a little expert advice if someone could help:
Is there an app available that will allow me to increase the font size in the people folder as I am now reaching the point were the eyes are not so good.note: I have heard that it is planned in the next update(rumour only)
Having read with interest an article name HTC Operators Guide on the forum (a pdf awsome) I must apologise that I can not find the author of this, but having gone through it thoroughly I found Tasker to be very interesting, although a little deep, can anyone advise me if it is possible to do the following:
Automatically turn off my bluetooth (used for car kit) when in range of my home wifi and do the reverse, turn the bluetooth on as soon as I am out of range of the wifi. If it is possible the formula would be much appreciated as this would sway my decision to purchase.
Thanks

Hi everyone,
As many of you would have known, despite USB Host functionality being present in ICS, USB DACs have yet to be supported on our devices. This issue has also been starred by more than a thousand people on Google's site but still has not been noticed. (Link here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24614&sort=-stars&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars)
Quoting a fellow XDA member: If Google did their work then we could use relatively cheap USB DACs with our Android phones and enjoy great music sound quality, no matter which cheap DAC/DSP the manufacturer has seen fit to include. Now with ICS this is a simple software fix, which makes it all the more irritating (someone has managed to add support for these in a Nook Colour kernel that works with CM9).
Right now, we can bring it up to a real Google Engineer while they visit my school (I have no idea how my school manages to be on such good terms with Google). All you need to do is help to vote this issue up so it gets the first pirioty to be asked. Perhaps then, we will get a chance to put the spotlight on our issue.

Can I give it more than one vote? haha ):
It would be nice to have DAC/AMP support on Android by default.
Hi buddy,
thank you for the information and discussion! I'm more of a business head than engineering but I am a lossless guy who loves his media players. Can you tell us more about what kind of things would be possible if Google enables this support?
Hello there! This is the first time I write in the forum, but I've been following it since 2 years by now (or even more, actually!). I'm "relatively" new, so I hope I'm writing in the right section.
I'm working hard to be a developer and recently I've been contacted by private people to make a new gps app. I've never worked with these kind of stuff, so grabbing gps signals, transform it to show on a map your postition etc. I'm a complitely noob on this side. So, I would ask to whom is more experienced than me some informations about how to handle these stuff, if there's some guide that shows how gps services (on Android, of course) works to catch the signal and send the informations to the app and so on, some good article and stuff like this.
Thanks for the eventual help .
Hi there,
I'm new to this android stuff, I use a... Uh, okay I use a different phone...
I'm blind and am exploring android with one goal... To see again. Okay, maybe that was a little over blown but let me explain before asking for some help from you lovely people.
There is an app called 'the vOICe', by seeing with sound, their home page here:
(Noticed I can't post links, do a search for seeing with sound and the voice and you'll find the one, it's also on the app market, just don't mistake it for the app accompanying the TV series...)
Who are using a system to help blind see. In a nutshell, it scans an image from left to right and layers sound using different frequencies to represent the image. I'm sorry if I'm a bit vague about this as I've not really had a chance to fully experiment with it. In short, it turns visual images into sound and it would appear that some fantastic results are coming from it and actual stimulation of the visual cortex is happening. In effect, the android device is the a to d, and the user's brain is the d to a. Amazing.
The problem is, currently it's not very usable. It can process a live stream from a video camera built into an android device but, of course, no one wants to wonder around with a 6 inch sudo-tablet strapped to their forehead. There was some excitement with the idea of google glass, however, aside from it not coming to light, I'd not really want to spend several hundred pounds on a device which I can use for just one thing. Okay, now the specifics...
I want to be able to route a webcam, or a similar camera into an android device, the device to accept the images from the camera and to process them into sound using the vOICe app. From what I understand from the Doctor who is pushing this forward and the inventor of the system, android does not yet allow external cameras to act as the native camera device. Can you help?
My perfect rig, and I'm making the huge assumption that it's the rig that most blind people would settle for, is the phone in my pocket, a hat or headband containing a camera, and a pair of headphones, preferably bone conduction as they give better awareness.
My question, my request is for someone to help make my device accept a video camera through usb and use the vOICe app to process the image.
Thank you in advance.

PS... I'm new to all of this, so I apologise if I've posted in the wrong place. If admins could move this post to the right place if I have messed up, I'd be very grateful.

Hi, Thanks for using XDA assist
There is a general forum for android here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where you can try to ask to get expert's help.
Good luck.
Hello,
I have a question and I am hoping I am in the right place to start.
I am a happy user of Xiaomi Phones, Have a Redmi 5 Plus and also a Redmi Note 7 (Global)
Lately I have noticed that I am getting a lot of Pairing Requests from other device, don't get me wrong it is not only exclusive for the Xiaomi Phones, because my Wife (Samsung S8) also gets them.
I am getting the pairing requests at work but also at home.
I basically ignore them all so no worries there.
But for Home I am getting Pairing requests from device (phones) which I currently (if I see them) can identify based on name of the device.
But because of some small issue(s), I will not go in to much details, I have been adviced to start monitoring my Internet/network but also my phone (due to the pairing requests at home) so I am now looking for software/apps.
Regarding this I tried to search a bit around and find some system monitoring apps and some monitoring apps for Bluetooth, but don't really find the option of making logs, (so that I have at the end of the day/week/month a file/list with a overview who/what has paired or tried to pair with my devices).
Can someone please advice me or help me with this challenge.
Alwasy thanking you for help and advice in advance.
