Random idea for glass - Glass General

Someone should make an app that scans documents and where you could then find certain words like you would using CTRL+F. Sorry if someone already thought of this, I didn't really know where to post this either.

good idea!

Good idea! :good: We need an undo/delete/cntrl+Z command also!

My brain drifts directly to sports- encouraging progress indication when running, turn info such as degree and camber for moto-sports.
When I am in my car, it should sync to speedo and GPS (though I am not sure to what degree you have to focus on display.)
Oh- and when my eyes cross, it should call me a cab!

There is already an android app that scans documents, corrects for camera angle, enhances text, optimizes contrast and converts the page to a PDF. It's called CamScanner and I use it almost daily to save receipts and fax documents. (I fax them for free using Files Anywhere) There are also several OCR apps on the Play Store so there's no reason this couldn't be done. That's one feature I would love to have.

That's an awsome idea, finding texts etc using your eyes rather than Ctrl+F. This requires accurate eye movement tracing I guess?

application lock

hi, im wondering if there was an app that could password lock certain applications?? im currently using wm 6.5 please help
Would be nice since first thing people do when they wanna look at ya phone is click on pictures
I'd really be surprised if there exists such an app. Most developers would make an app to make accessing your apps easier. I doubt someone would make an app to stop you from accessing your apps.
The TP2 is an expensive device. So a sound suggestion would be to keep it away from kids (if that's what you're worried about).

Well, a smart thing to do would be to not keep "sensitive" pictures on your device! If you insist on having quick access to such pics, perhaps you should check out encryption software. Or simply just move them into another folder so they're not easily accessible via the album.

Pictures in Gmail??

I can't believe that even on my beautiful sleek Nexus One, I can't view embedded email pictures. Does anyone know why this is? And if not maybe some one knows how to fix it? This is actually ridiculous if you ask me, its the Gmail app that has been made by Google for a Google operating system on a Google phone but it can't display embedded email pictures? Whats going on here?
It works fine for me... Did you push the "Show Pictures" button near the top of the email?
Sometimes they show up for me. Usually they don't though and I always press 'show pictures'. I love the phone bit its the least of my issues: I can't send mms to any phone bit android, I get 'uportal error' on a common site that the iPhone 3g and 3gs access no problem, and I often get a quarter of an inch of orange load bar when clicking a link in the browser which sometimes is only remedied by a phone reset. I have loved all 3 of my android phones though and Its google we're talking about. They are all about te internet and I trust they are diligently working to improve te average, albeit fast browser experience.
I just read my post and good God this keyboards tough to type on.

Change your user agent like I suggested your other thread, and use the speech to text. ; )
I have pressed show picture, all i get is a question mark in a little blue box and i can see the frame of the picture that is spoused to be there. I know im not the only person people. Don't make me feel like im the only one here..
Currently, the gmail app does not support embedded pictures in emails. When you see pictures it's because the person attached the picture to the email. The only way to see embedded pictures in an e-mail on your phone is to log into gmail through the browser. This has been like this since 1.5 and has been submitted to google numerous of times. Hopefully they will fix this problem.

I have the same issue as OP and have since I can remember (since I got my G1 on pre-order) and clicking on "show pictures" and clicking on the blue square does nothing for me on my G1 and my Nexus.
/agree with mgorman.....
Embedded pictures is working just fine in the Gmail app, had some ad-spam from Direct2Drive, Apple, Impulse etc in my inbox just now and they all had embedded pictures. Clicked show pictures and it worked like a charm, this was also over 3g network.
As far as I know I can't take screenshots with an un-rooted phone, so I've attached a picture.

You can use the Android sdk to take pictures of the phone:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Make sure USB debugging is on, plug in phone to PC
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools -> ddms.bat​
Not sure what you guys are talking about. Embedded pictures work absolutely flawlessly on my phone
Ah of course via the SDK. Been developing for Android for some time, but I've only been using the emulator since I've been too lazy to actually hook up my phone

cool thanks paul. Now, obviously I know how to change the user agent, but for all the other folks here who might not, maybe you should give them really basic, simple instructions....

do you have astro file manager installed? there is an option in this app that allows you to download otherwise un-downloadable files through the stock browser that makes pictures in email not work (according to the setting in the app itself)

Post Code finder (UK)?

Hi All,
I use the mytraveline.mobi site quite often for bus times, although it will take street names, this can get quite messy (and you still have to know the street name) putting in the Post Code works better.
There are several apps that convert Post Codes to addresses or even give directions to them, I can't find any that will grab the GPS data and give the full Post Code, does such an app exist?
I know Google Maps will give a partial Post Code for any location, but this is not refined enough for accurate timetables.
Any other ideas?
~S
if its for buses have you tried the app called catch that bus? No postcode knowledge required
Have that app myself - nice piece of work. All it needs is the entire route for a bus (currently it works by listing times of all buses at the stop) with times and it'll be perfect

Wow! that looks just the (bus) ticket. I did look on the market a while ago, must have been before this was added, just shows if you don't find something, keep checking back LOL
Thanks for the heads up.

How to record courses... via a bluetooth mic on the teacher's desktop.
And then transform the recording in text. With the possibility to turn on/off the mic when he's talking about his wife and how he banged her the night before...
an app which records and is a note taker at the same time, with you being allowed to tag certain areas of the recording (lecture) with appended notes and stuff.
Btw, if you do make it, pm me the link !

Microsoft word 2008 does it...(the MAC version).
What about something that automatically switches your phone to silent mode when you're in a lecture? You could base that off your calendar to know when your lectures are. (Note: I think this kind of app has been done before, but it should be challenging enough to be an interesting assignment.)

Tasker would probably be your best bet.

That is old school, but you could modify for your case.
first, i don't have root now.
second, i can start the app before and then to close the screen and to take pictures with pattern or press some place...
Wait, what?
Are u an spy or something? haha ;l
There are Gallery apps in the playstore that have a "private" function that require a password to view and some are just hidden?
Also with apps like QuicPic, and many others, you can long press on a folder and "hide" it... Then it's not visible while using that gallery app, but you can find it using a file explore or you can re-enable the view of that folder.
this is how upskirts happen
no .. i don't s[y or something like that even not something that rude, just want to take pictures and to send them to a specific number but...without opening the locked phone
there is something here
http://android.wonderhowto.com/how-...id-without-launching-your-camera-app-0163357/
but...i want it without even to open the screen

but WHY?
you have to understand why ppl find this EXTREMELY sketchy. you're admitting u want to take and send pics without someone knowing about it
example?in test, or in meeting, more?

You're not supposed to take pictures when you're taking a test, that would be wrong. And what comes to meetings, there's really no need to hide what you're doing with your phone.
i have my porposes i don't understand what these doing with the question? if you can help, help if not so not..belive me i don;t use it for illigal porposes, for thet there is special spy stuff
this is a funny post to read so far. But yeah i would not post stuff like that in here since i would make you seem very sketchy regardless what reasons may be. And good luck to find one
This is not going to go anywhere. Nor do I see anything good coming out of this. Thread closed.
