Compass app with "distance to Landmark" function f...

Hi. Well the subject pretty much says it all. I've seen other threads on here (e.g. /t5/Maps-Navigation-and-GPS/GPS-data/td-p/782416 ) but nothing recent - and I've done plenty of searches for 3rd party applications. I find lots of pretty compasses, but none which let me choose a Favourite(Landmark) from Nokia Maps, and then show me a compass with the direction to the landmark and its distance.
This of course was available in phones like the N95 and 5800 - but not the N8 (and presumably others).
Can anyone help?? Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you have Nokia Maps 3.09 . You can choose on walk navigation settings between direct line or street navigation.
If you choose direct line, long press the destination point on the map application and select walk here it shows you distance and direction.

Can Flash CS5.5 create ios app with in game purchase function?

Can I use flash CS5.5 to create ios app with in game purchase function and other ios specific functions? Is there any limitation compare to using ios native development environment? Same questions for Android OS.
Thank you very much.

First disable autoplay. It gave errors for me. Try to make the movie play with the play() command.
to embed the movie in your air bundle, just go to publish settings for your flash project. Then in that screen go to the player settings.
In the first GENERAL tab you'll see a the bottom that you can add files to your project
Propably there is allready your .swf and an .xml file in there.
Using the + icon you can add your video.
Make sure that your video is in the same directory as your . FLA file and you can use it as is (by name)
If for example your flashfile is in c:\mytest\mytest.fla and the video in c:\mytest\videos\myvideo.flv , then you will have to load your video as "videos/myvideo.flv" with a FORWARD slash, never use \
Good luck

Compass app with interference every time starts

Every time I start the compass app, it says "interference" and wants me to swing in the figure 8. Doesn't matter if I'm outside or inside, country or city.
Also it doesn't seem to update the Latitude/Longitude very often, or accurately. Location services is turned on for the compass.
Maps does work accurately however...
I've read some anecdotal evidence on other threads (specifically the "rebooting-in-a-call" thread - as I'm having sluggish issues since updating to iOS4) that one theory is that this is a sign of faulty/buggy hardware.
Can anyone else tell me if this is normal behavior? How about the LAT/LONG problem? How accurate should that be - at least as accurate as the maps location service, I assume!

Once you get booted into Mac OS, go into /SystemPreferences/StartupDisk
Then select your Mac partition and it will switch default boot to Mac.
This is a cool software that allows a single reboot into windows without holding option after post.

I am looking for an app that can unmute my iphone after a preset time, eg 1 or 2 hours. Does anybody know an app with this feature?? The apps I have found are linked to a calendar or a place, I just need the timer function..

thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

Im using an ipad mini and recently it started to act way wiered than i ever imagined.whenever i switch it on it would open or close apps of its choice and function without my interference.it's like auto touch.what should i do with this?

That could be a hardware problem with the screen digitizer but first try these troubleshooting steps in this order:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

App-V 5.0SP2 question with SCCM 2012 CU4 (functionality vs full support with R2)

I understand that for App-V 5.0 SP2 and SCCM 2012 SP1 integration at least CU4 is required but R2 with CU1 for full functionality.
I’ve attached an image from some session that someone else gave me. I have questions after looking at the slide since there are no details on what is not fully supported with CU4 pre R2.
Since we have immediate plans to add CU4 to our SCCM 2012 SP1 environment can anyone please give us a break down of what functionality is not available in App-V 5.0 SP2 before we go all the way up to SCCM 2012 R2?
On another note does anyone have any clue what TechED session that was from so I can see the replay?
Thanks very much for any info on this.

Hello,
As per the slide - CU1 is required for full support with R2.

Does the iPod touch come with a compass app?

I do not have the Apple Compass app - is it only available for certain models?

Only iOS devices with a cellular radio/GPS have a digital compass and thus only those device have the Compass app. No iPods have a cellular radio/GPS since then do not have a digital compass and thus none have the Compass app.

How do i delete the compass app

how do I deletel tho compass app.

There is an app that I use on the phone that measures distance whilst playing golf.
The powers that be have decided that because the phone has a compass I cannot use the golf app in competition. Quite what difference it makes knowing which way I am facing relative to a compass is beyond me, but there you go, the people that make the rules of golf are somewhat archaic.
With that iin mind I'm wondering whether there is a way of rendering the compass unuseable if it cant be removed?

Im looking for a good note app with pen for taking notes ( in english and german )during business trips. Can anyone help

I'm looking for a good note app with pen function for taking notes ( in English and German ) during business trips. Can anyone help?

Really sorry to hear about this, particularly when you're putting your life on the line. But Apple cannot track your iPhone in any way unless you had set up Find My iPhone prior to it being lifted.
It's possible that AT&T might be able to do something, but it's probably that they cannot track it, or will not without a request from an authorized law enforcement agency, but rather would only disable the device. You'll have to try and find a way to contact AT&T directly and ask if they can do anything to help you; the chances of any AT&T employee in a position to help you spotting this thread it pretty small.
Good luck, stay safe, and come home soon.
Regards.

[W8.1]Creating a trial app with a feature that expires after being used twice

I want to add a feature to my app that user can avail only twice or thrice in the trial mode. I am unable to figure out which purchase mode should I implement.
I successfully implemented the in-app-purchase for making the feature available for lifetime. But how should I go about limiting its usage if the user has not bought it?
According to the sample code I am following I have these options:
Expiring Product: This allows me to expire the feature after certain period of time but I need to expire the product after number of usage.
InAppPurchase: I can purchase feature through this but I cannot limit the feature in trial mode.
ConsumableInAppPurchase: Again it requires the user to buy the feature first and then it can be consumed.
I figured that if I can save an int in local settings of app the first time app is used and then decrement it until its 0, and then prompt the user to buy, it will do the job. But if I use this method user can always delete the settings file and my app wouldn't
know that it is not being used the first time.
Can anybody tell me how I can achieve my requirement?
Thanks

You cannot achieve this with the built-in trial mode. It is based entirely on the time limit you choose when publishing the app. After the time limit is up, the app will stop functioning.
To do what you want to do, you will have to write your own code. One of my apps, a word processor for example, lets the user use the app with full features for 7 days. After 7 days, instead of stop opening, it simply goes into read-only
mode until the user buys it. The advantage of doing it this way instead of making the app non-functioning forever after 7 days is the user will always have the opportunity to see what's new in my future updates. I don't want to lose potential customers!
Nothing the user can do to reset the 7 days trial. They can uninstall and reinstall as many times as they want. They can delete the settings file all they want. My method doesn't require the app to check over the internet. I'm
sure if you think hard enough you will figure out a way like I did. I'm just letting you know that there is a way and it is possible. I just don't want this method to be known too widely.
Are you saying your method is different from the 'Expiring Product' option I mentioned? To me it sounds the
same as that

TS1702 I have apps with no sound only picture?

I have apps with no sound only picture? wheel on the bus is one.

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

IPhone 4, Flip leather case and the 'Compass' app..just some info

Hello Members, and anyone new to the iPhone 4 with a 'Flip' type case that has a magnetic clasp.
I had just got my new Iphone 4, and after fully updating it to iOS 4.1, I'd successfully managed to fix the screen protector that came with the all 'leather' flip case, and proceeded to slide the Iphone into it's new luxury coat closing it securely.
Leaving it while, and then coming back to my Iphone, I started to explore the device and went straight for the 'compass' app, just to see it working....
I notice it wasn't operating correctly, the app would either be really difficult to calibrate, and when it did, the pointer would not be stable and jerked around a lot.
Anyway...I found the 'flip' case to have been a bad choice purely because of a design flaw, see the phone kept wanting to slide out as I would use it, so off I went to buy another one.
I settled for one which was made of plastic, it was a black 'enclosure' type and even included the screen protector built into it, so no having to mess about with sticky thin films either..great, just snap the two half's together...job done!
Again, back at home and in the same location, I again started to explore the iPhone going from browser to app, and again fell back onto the 'compass' application, only this time it worked flawlessly, no having to 'calibrate' and re-calibrate, no jerking from the pointer, it worked smoothly and faultlessly, and then it had occurred to me as to why this might be.....?
The Iphone's directional tech is influenced by magnetic fields, regardless of whether it's 'geographic' north or 'magnetic' north, and was being influenced by the magnet that was contained in the clasp of the leather 'flip' case, I new this could only be the possible reasoning, as I'd been trying to get the 'app' to work all the time even when I'd crossed my local park while still in the 'flip' case on my way to the store, with always the same bad results, it was only when the Iphone was in it's new case did the compass app work correctly.
So, just a consideration to any new users of the iPhone 4, that's using a case that's got any kind of magnet, and that's having the same issues that I suffered, remember to 'calibrate' and try the 'compass' application out of these type's of case's before thinking there's a software problem, or fault with your Iphone4.
Kind regards
Livio

Figured it out! Compass Calibration was off in Settings - Location Services

Can't publish an app with twitter timeline

Hi,
i have an app in Project Siena which i want to post my timeline and be able to post my tweets.
I setup a twitter data source and in 'design' environment everything works OK.
Then, the hell begins when I want to publish the app, as I can't get it to work with the twitter API.
1) i registered an app with apps.twitter.com, copied the API key and API secret. For the callback URL I have just posted our company's website, as the app in Project Siena has nothing to do with any URL.
2) suddenly the twitter timeline does not work anymore, the curernt user does not exist anymore within data sources and there is no timeline. I would think there is an issue with authorization?
3) I tried adding a new twitter feed and doing it from the scratch straight away with the API, to no avail.
4) I can't get rid of the twitter and twitter_1 data sources, as when I try to delete them from my app in siena, Project Siena just crashes.
My questions:
- is there any specific catch connecting siena app with my twitter account?
- is there anyone here who got to the point of feeding timeline from twitter to the PUBLISHED siena app?
- is there a way to 'hack' the data source out of the app somehow differently than through the Siena GUI? Like to edit something in the myapp.siena file?
I appreciate your answers, thanks,
Peter

Actually, I got it to work somehow.
This is what I did:
I added a new twitter data source and NOT logged in straight away with my user account (like I would normally do to play around with the app). Instead, I set-up the APIs first, and only then went to change the feed elements in my screens
(so that the source was pointing to this new twitter_2 data source instead of the old two which i setup earlier, i.e. twitter_1 and twitter).
Now the app is publishable and when I open it, it asks me to log in with my twitter account - all good.
Have still not got rid of the two old twitter sources in the .siena file. If i press delete Project Siena just crashes. Any ideas ? At this moment it does not affect functioning of the app, it is just 'messy' and 'unnecessary' in 'source code'.

Searching Web Apps with Data Source fields containing multiple values

I have a Web App with a field allowing multiple values to be entered similar to the checkbox list. I need to restrict allowed values to a large, finite list of values currently stored in another Web App as the data source. I can't apply the Data Source field type as that only allows single value selection. I also need to be able to use the Web App Search form to search for items containing 1 OR more values in this field (the search functionality of a checklist field type). Here's what I've tried for field types:
Text (string) or Text (multiline) field type - By saving a list of comma separated values (the same way that checkbox list outputs) to a text input or textarea, the search logic only searches for exact string (including commas) and doesn't parse the individual values.
List (checkbox list) field type - This allows me to search multiple values using OR logic, but the web app will only store values that have been entered as options in the actual web app field setup. I tried using a checkbox list with minimal or empty options hoping that whatever values I sent over in a comma separated string value would still get stored, but because the values came from my Web App data source and not the list of options stored with the field, they were not saved.
Has anyone found a way to do this?
My other question is about how I might use a similar multi-value field as described above but return search results containing items with ALL selected values for that field (AND logic).
Can anyone enlighten me to the inner workings of BC web app search logic?

Thanks Robert.
You'll need to create your own interface to the webapp database for those kind of data operations
by this, are you speaking of the internal BC database which stores web app schema data? That would be great if it were possible to update that programmatically because I need to use the List (Checkbox List) field type (for the search functionality), but I need to supply the checkbox options from a web app rather than by manually updating the list entered in the Fields view of the web app settings (shown below).
I'm curious if anyone else has tried this?
Again, my reason for needing to use the List (Checkbox List) field type is that the page which processes searches knows to expect a comma separated list for this field type and then appears to be parsing out the individual values for searching out web app items with 1 or more matching values. You're right that text fields (string and multiline) just check for 'string contains' matches, and this would be ok if I was only ever needing to search just one value at a time. Here's an example of what I might do:
Web App item field value (as recorded against the List (Checkbox List) field type:
8294877,8294878
Web App Search value (for this same field):
8294879,8294877,8294885
The search would return this web app item because the field contains 2 (1 or more) individual values even though they were entered into the search field in a different order. If this web app item were just a Text (string or multiline) field, the searched value is not a substring of the web app item's stored value, so it would not find a match. Hence the need to use Checkbox List field type.
The web app will have thousands if not 10s of thousands of records, so dumping them all into one big array or object and searching on the front-end won't be practical (though it works great on smaller datasets).
