"More Details Online" link on Weather tab is bad - any way to tweak that?

I'm baffled as to how HTC and Sprint could let a device go out the door with a dead link in one of their TouchFlo3D tabs!

While the graphics are really nice, this weather app is lamer than lame, particularly since the "More Details Online" link goes to a dead URL at Accuweather! And if you try that URL on a desktop PC, it is verified as bad...
Makes me feel like a fool when a friend who has an iPhone checks it out and sees the dead link. Ohh, impressive... especially when they have the awesome Weather Channel app that plays video and everything...
Anyone know how to tweak that URL in the XML file in Manila?
.

Mine does the same thing.. thats pretty bad they let it go out like that..

Mine does the dame thing too but when I use a difernet city such as Moscow it works fine. Seems like only the Northamerica citys are a dead link

Someone must know what file can be edited for that! I'd imagine the URL just needs tweaking - it's a standard URL which is plugging in the selected city in to the path...
.

there's info about this in the diamond or the touch pro sections, or probably in more places. I forget if it's a file or a reg entry.

Thanks! I'll get to looking! Eager to fix that!

Post the fix I can't find it and its driving me nuts

Hardy har! I can't find a fix that relates to what this thread is about, to save my life! I always get a kick out of people lambasting first-time posters when they ask a question and someone will say "did you search?" because that is easier said than done, particularly in enormous forums such as this!
I tried searching for "More details Online" and it said it was going to ignore the word "More" because it was too common. So searching for "Details" and "Online" brought up threads that had nothing to do with what I wanted, even when narrowing down the search to just the Diamond or the Touch Pro forums. And if I searched for "weather" (and a combination of options such as "issue" "online" etc), I came upon several threads where people were discussing the Weather Tab not updating period (no info whatsoever), but thus far I have not found one post that had to do with the issue of tapping on "More Details Online" and having it take the user to a dead AccuWeather page.
I will keep looking, but it's frustrating - I simply can't believe this is not easily found as seeing a current "What the heck?" type of thread related to the TP2 and the non-functional link! Not here or at PPCG or several other forums I have checked!
The search continues...

A quick look through the registry couldn't find anything. I think I will just forget about it. We will be getting some new roms soon.

Yeah, by the time I find a solution, I'll have 6.5 on this thing and might not even be using TF3D!

Sometimes, refreshing the page in the browser will "fix" the problem and allow the page to be displayed ... not a great fix, I know ...

Holy COW! Levman, you must have the magic touch, because I went to try that, and I tapped on More Details Online>>> and for the first time ever, the AccuWeather page worked!
I didn't even have to hit refresh! I just launched Opera and went to the page!!!
Was definitely something on AccuWeather's end...

Don't get too excited ... that exact same thing happened to me the first time I set out to try this trick (which, in the interest of full disclosure, I'll admit that I learned by posting a question on a forum that Sprint manages). The second time I clicked on "more details online", it was back to the old way and I did have to refresh. I was as surprised as you the first time, when it worked properly without me having to hit refresh.
I have a friend who likes to joke about keeping a bucket of water next to his computer whenever it misbehaves, as a threat ... maybe this had the same effect
I suspect you are right that this is a problem on AccuWeather's end ...

Hmm.... mine works every time for each of the three cities I have selected. So, maybe it is a city specific problem.

I know what you posted above about just "search". I know I read this for my diamond with a definitive way to edit the weather link. I just never bookmarked it.
I just got my TP2 on verizon tonight, but haven't tried that yet. If I do find that it doesn't work, I'll be sure to post up!
I'm fighting the dreaded wifi + active sync not working, ugh. I'm trying to vpn in and sync to my work computer. wifi dies just as soon as I connect any winmo. Reports say AS 6.5 beta works... oh, other computer just booted, gotta run and play!

I just tried, and I still receive the "Error in/M Application" error. I tried the "reloading" trick, with no success. I did not try the bucket of water.

Did you do the setup when you started the phone?
I went back and changed my settings, it didn't say the city in (was it contacts or dialer?), it just said CDT, so I changed it to my city.
Then I ONLY tried right now, went right to accuweather.
----------------
So if you rely on the start/activation screen, you might have to change it, ugh, sorry, can't remember.
Again, this is a VZ phone!

I did go through the setup when I first turned on the phone. I also installed the conflipper north america weather database, as my city was not native to the phone.
I just looked for different settings in the contacts area, etc., and couldn't find anything set incorrectly. I then deleted my city, and added it back in, but still received that error, even after refreshing.
If this turns out to be the biggest problem with this phone, I can live with it!
I would like a weather app, though, that can integrate with TF3D, and also show more than the weather icons. As I've posted elsewhere, I want the forecast, in words.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

[APP] GOTO the lockscreen that should of been the default one

I searched and I don't think this has been posted before
Here is an app that works great, it does have some bugs but i'm sure the DEVs will fix them with new updates.
"Overview
We designed GOTO to give you access to the information you care about without slowing you down.
Numbers appear over the notification icons in the navigation bar at the bottom so you know when there's something new.
Simply slide the thumb icon under the notification icon to preview and release to jump right to the application. If there's nothing new you can slide the thumb icon all the way to the right to unlock."

I agree...I actually thought that's what they were going to do with the old 2.0 launcher being that it had other unfilled circles....that one's great...just a bit too stylized for my taste...doesn't really match stock Android...unless it can be themed.

I'm stuck in a force close loop with this damn thing. It kept foce closing on me when I installed it, so I thought a reboot might clear things. When I did, I get the lock screen, but if I take any action with it, I'm stuck in a force close loop.

its not a very smart app, but if more work is put into it, it will be much better
it works fine with me, but it doesnt have any settings
when im on the lock screen, and i press the home button, it goes directly to home without needing to slide to unlock

At least you can refund in the android market place. FC-looping For The Lose

its working fine for me

Theres quite a few lock screens on the market that i like including this one but they all have the same problem it unlocks your phone when you press the home key which makes them pointless for me. It looks cool tho

Can someone who has installed it test and see if/how it works with a lock pattern?
TIA.

I probably would've installed it if it had three things:
Stability
Actually locking your phone so the home-key doesn't work
Themed like stock 2.2
As it is now it's pretty useless in my opinion.

Fyi, I've been in contact with the developer, he's stated that he doesn't want to start supporting multiple roms, but if someone with Cyanogen is having force close issues, he'd be willing to look at a log to see if there's anything that can be tweaked to work with Cyan's rom. If you're getting force closes, could you forward a log to him?

Can't find it on the market. I tried the barcode, too. I'm using CM 6.0.0-RC1 and I am from Germany.

No lockscreen app will ever be worth my time IMO, they all have issues. Only one worth a damn ever has been an actual lock screen replacement.

Actually not bad, will try when it gets some update

It has been updated to 1.15 apparently with more preferences and customizations. Does anyone know exactly what the new preferences are?

Hmm, that's warez right? You better ensure it's not against the rules..
In any case, I just bought it because it looks real cool. However there are quite a few bugs in this.
If the screen turns off during an app like a browser and you unlock the screen, it should go back to the browser. However, if you then try to exit the browser with the back button, it will go back to the Goto lockscreen, resulting in an endless loop with browser and lockscreen. This is a really bad bug. The only way out is to manually take out the battery to restart the phone. The way around is to enable the home button as that would bring you to the home screen instead of the browser.
Currently the developer is looking at this but still no updates...
Another bug is the camera/volume button cannot be disabled in my case. Pressing the volume buttons will wake the screen whether they are disabled or not.
There are a few other minor bugs but these 2 are major ones that's preventing it from being perfect.
Still I love the slider and 3 animated icons. Hopefully the dev will fix it up.

[APP][2.2+][ROOT] ANote Overlay - Draw on your screen and screenshot from everywehere

Hi everyone,
I'm pleased to present ANO to you, a little application which launch as an overlay
So you can draw / take note from everywhere, screenshot the result and share it
Some pictures :

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Description
ANote Overlay is an application with which you can take note on your screen wherever you are !
ANO launch itself as an overlay above any applications, images, web pages etc so you can fastly draw anywhere.
Then simply save and share your screenshot.
Your device must be rooted to enable ANO to save the background of your screen shot
With ANO you can :
Navigate through your phone, ANO stills opened
Display / hide ANO
Set up the white background opacity so you can see more or less your background application

Donate : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plumillonforge.android.ano.donate
I'm open to any suggestions and feedbacks !

This one of these applications I always needed when trying to instruct things to people. Great to see it done!
Here's a little suggestion: Option to have an opacity layer on the screenshot in a rectangle/portion that is selected or the contrary, have the portion selected with no overlay but the rest with a more opaque layer. This can help a lot to put emphasis on certain parts without having to draw a bunch of arrows.
Still very usable, will come in handy.

Hi polobunny and thx for your kind words, it's encouraging
Regarding the overlay, I'll play around to see how can I integrate it beautifully : the point is I don't want to develop an masterapplicationwhichcandoanything, just the minimum and the needed
But your suggestion match this criteria so !

I understand your concern. I prefer applications that are not cluttered and full of functions I would never use. Already drawing on the screen is a wonderful tool, the rest is bonus.

Yeah, but I kinda also want to satisfied all people so I'm thinking about a "more" menu where I can stick the bonus fonctions
Thx again for your feedback

Installed your app earlier to try it out & I really like it so far...the only major thing that I see that would have to be changed in order for me to keep using it is there needs to be a way to move the red start/stop button to any place on the screen that we choose and hopefully resize/reduce it also and change the color of that button...I don't have anything on my phone that's red, would much rather change it to Holo blue

Hello wuzdat
Moving the button around is something I'm thinking about, the problem I have to handle is the toolbar opening (currently it's opening from left to right, so it have to be adaptive)
I'll start a todo list

Maybe just have toolbar always open in its current location & only move around the start button...just suggestion I'm not a dev so I don't know if it's possible

@polobunny : ANO 1.1.0 is live with the resizable rectangle feature !
I didn't include a "contrary" option though, I think it will confuse the user (and add another button)
Also, I release a donate version without ads, if you like ANO please consider supporting me by buying it : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plumillonforge.android.ano.donate
Thanks again for all your feedbacks

Great app. Can the background be set to full transparency when starting the app instead of doing it manually every time?

About RAM
Since my android device is low end, i would like to ask you if the app is RAM heavy or would cause lag on a 512mb device?

By the way, this is really a nice app, I could not find a similar one that would satisfy me.
If you could promote it somehow, I'm sure more people would find an appreciation for it. I'm thinking especially Note 1/2/3 users and even more so, those who migrated to an aosp rom such as myself and lost the screenshot capabilities from touchwiz.

[APP][6.0+] Looxie: Location-based photo requests

Get Looxie from the Play Store!
Looxie is a location-based photo request app that I released back in 2016. The premise is simple: you go on the map, select a location you want a photo from and send your request to that location. Any users within one kilometer will receive the request and they can respond by sending you a photo.
The big twist? They can only send photos by actually taking them with their camera: gallery uploads are not allowed. Practically, this means that any photo you receive was taken seconds earlier and essentially is a real-time depiction of that location. The practical applications are numerous (Is the sea choppy? Is the bar I want to go to packed? Is there a lot of traffic on the A2? What's up in the Mongolian steppe right now?) but it's also really exciting to simply know that the photo you got depicts something at the other side of the world as it is right now.
Late last year, I decided that the app looked positively archaic, so I went ahead and rebuilt/redesigned it from the ground up to make it prettier and faster. I think the redesign is very successful and the app is indeed much faster and much easier to use.
Here is what it looks like:
{
"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"
}
I will probably be adding some premium features as a very cheap subscription (full-res photo downloads, for example) in the hopes that they'll at least cover the Firebase costs but anybody who registers an account by August 9th, 2019 will get all premium features for free.
I will be happy to answer your questions and read your comments!

Bumping the thread with actual links. I'll be around to answer any questions and respond to comments.

Really liking this app. Now I am getting requests one after the other from the same user. It would be nice if there was a cool-down time, I'd say, once every 2hrs between requests times from the same user

Amazing idea but..
1. When I use the search function, I can't actually click on a photo to be able to view it and zoom in. All it does when I click that it switches to the next photo and the same happens with Sent Looxies.
2. No full screen viewing available!
3. Settings is grayed out and I can't access it?
4. I can't view the likes of a certain image!
5. I am getting a ton of requests of user NewbieTown, is it a bot?

When i click the camera button to take a picture it opens the stock camera(xiaomi) but I don't really like the pictures from it so I use a google camera port , do you think it's possible to choose from the camera app?

Hey! You should be able to use any camera app you want. I'm almost never using the stock Pixel camera, instead I use something some effects, like Vignette or Cameringo.

Hey, thanks! Totally my fault for not communicating this more clearly in the app but each of these requests are actually from a different user. Whenever a new user signs up, they have the option of sending a first contact request, ie. send a request to every user in the world (just once).
So what happened is that with the sudden influx of users (due to the XDA feature) LOTS of people got to use their first contact requests and everybody was flooded with those things. I should absolutely find a way to combat that but I don't want to take the first contact functionality away from new users. The problem will eventually solve itself, of course, when things go back to normal, with 3-5 registrations per day.

Hello there.
You are right on every count, the app is pretty frustrating right now. This is partly down to the fact that it's a ground-up rewrite, so some functionality that was there in the old app is still missing but also due to the fact that I'm a lone developer working on it after 10-hour marathons in my day job, right after I manage to put my 2-year old son to sleep. I still love it, though. Let me answer your questions one by one.
1. All of the functionality you're describing is coming within the month. I'm taking a much-needed two-week off from work so I'll be able to focus on Looxie almost exclusively.
2. Also coming soon!
3. I know I sound like a broken record, but also coming soon. I have quite of bit of stuff to put in there, it won't take too long.
4. At this point you know the answer.
5. Nope, totally not a bot. It's new users signing up and using their first contact request (which they can use only once). Thingss should go back to normal, with about 5 first contact requests per day. Just give it a bit of time.
Thanks for your comment, I wanted to clear some of this stuff up anyway!

5. Nope, totally not a bot. It's new users signing up and using their first contact request (which they can use only once). Thingss should go back to normal, with about 5 first contact requests per day. Just give it a bit of time.
Thanks for your comment, I wanted to clear some of this stuff up anyway!

Thanks for the quick reply, I've edited the Google Play rating of the app to 5 stars.
However, you should've mentioned that the app has features that are still being optimized.

Possible to run on microg?
Love the app, just switched to a phone with lineageos 16 and microg. When I enter my username and password, it just hangs logging in. I then tried backing up the app on my old phone with adb backup then restored it to my new phone. The first time I started looxie, I was logged in and could see the feed. Now everytime I start the app, I get an empty feed that never updates. Also, my username is not displayed in the menu. Any ideas on how to get it working with microg?

Hey Jeff! I've never tested the app on a device with microg, unfortunately. Unless the microg package includes an implementation of FirebaseAuth, I cannot see it working. I'll need to check and see though, so stay tuned. If you're the Jeff from the app, it's nice to see you here, thanks for all the awesome photos :good:

Thanks, It looks like microg doesn't support FirebaseAuth currently, there are a few issues in github for it. I'll try agian when they have it supported.

Question 3 finger swipe for screenshot

Hey all, first time pixel owner here (p7p). Previous phones were one plus devices. I love the option of a 3 finger swipe down for screenshot. Anyone know of a no-root solution to this? Like an app? I really hate using buttons, status bar shortcuts, and app switch to get a screen shot on this device. Thanks in advance!

I came from an OP9P and the best option that I found on my new pixel is the double tap at the back of the phone, the things that I miss are the biometrical authentication to access to any app you want and the hiding apps

thanks for the reply. I saw that and it won't work for me. I usually am not physically holding my phone when I need a screenshot.

i know it's not as simple as 3-finger swipe for a screenshot, but as a workaround until you find a acceptable solution, if it's an issue of taking a screenshot but not being able to physically hold your phone, you could always ask Google Assistant to take the screenshot for you....
*Although, I don't know how you could do a 3-finger swipe without being able to physically hold your phone either.... (I guess you need to take a screenshot while the phone is laying flat face-up[?])

@thejase question, how are not able to hold your device when taking a screenshot? Even with the 3 finger swipe, you are asking, do you still have to hold your device?
I mean I use one hand to hold the device, and the other hand to tap the back for the screenshot. Works great, although sometimes I have to give a good tap, due to my case on the device.

The device is sitting upright in the top lid of a toolbox. So USB port facing floor. I'd rather not use Google assistant to take a ss. Three finger swipe is really the best implementation for me.

I feel ya. I just hate that it's this hard to get something that does something so simple.

Unfortunately without root, it's not possible.
I will say that with root and AOSP Mods, I was able to add a two finger swipe up from the nav bar to take a screenshot and as an added bonus, it's an insecure screenshot, so I can use it in apps that don't allow taking screenshots (like Xfinity for some stupid reason - why they block screenshots on the data usage screen is beyond me).

Hey all. Just an FYI. I was able to do something similar with a swipe down along the top left edge of the screen using macrodroid. If you've never used it, I highly recommend it. I never pay for apps and it's worth the money! Forgot I had it from long ago. Can automate many many things.

Just hit the recent apps button and then tap screenshot.

Doesn't work if you want ss of home screen or app drawer (which I often do). Thank you for your reply!

Nope. I figured out a temporary solution for now. It's listed on my quote from earlier below...

Very cool. I use macrodroid daily. It's a fantastic app and worth every penny.

The best way to do screenshot, setting->system->gestures->Quick tap to start actions, choose take screenshot (suggest to check "require stronger taps")

Disagree. Only works if phone is picked up in hand. I use it supported vertically in my toolbox lid @ work (think: pixel stand position).

I have set up 2 finger swipe in aospmods as well as allow unrestricted screenshot but when swiping in bank app for example screenshot is black. Only using voldown and power button takes it ok

You could also use an app like LMT and have a screenshot as a shortcut.
Works in your hand & on the table.

Strange. Works fine for me. You can see here I did a two finger swipe and then I took a regular screenshot while the app was still up and that one was black as expected.
