[Q] What do you do with your Google glasses? - Glass Q&A

I need some ideas.

Still figuring that out as i go..
At the moment, I mainly use my Google Glass to record stories from my older relatives and do in car video recording (had a gopro previously), like the notifications via IFTTT about when it is snowing or raining. Also get my google now alerts, email, txts, phone call alerts on it too. Also have been listening to my google music with it too while walking about and of course the navigation features are cool too.
I like not having to pull out phone; even though sometimes it's easier. Voice control is a bit weird to get used to initially but is pretty decent. My biggest geek use of it though is controlling my Philips Hue bulbs by voice with it. Some sample pics (vignettes = overlays of photo and glass display, very fun!).
Still a lot to be improved but now that more and more people have it; we are seeing new apps each week.

TV Forecast kinda like tool?

Hey, I've been all over google for the past hours and I simply can't find any good android program like TV Forecast for the iPhone..
If you're not familiar with TV Forecast, here's a sample of how it looks. Very basic but very handy:

If you have anything like this for a TV-freak, please help me out
Try this one http://www.cyrket.com/package/ukfree.jersey.tvguide
this may suffice for a bit, i wrote it myself, it simply parses a text file from tvrage.com
http://pdxvr.com/wap/t.php
you can limit the number of days by adding a ?d=n on the end of the url where 'n' is a number below 7
I use Record it by Austin Reid, if u have sky plus it can sync with ur account and u can set ur box to record when ur out.
Today I started to keep the history of the TVRage feed I use for the web app and made some links to those days - mostly so I can see the season/episodes I may have missed.

I saw there was an app on the market that parsed the same file I used and shows you that. I think my interface looks nicer than the app even though it's just a web page.

Two NICE Surprises with HD7

Coming from a Samsung Vibrant..
I had already been warned that the LED/LCD display wasn't as rich or colorful as on the Vibrant (didn't bother me) and that the speaker is weak in comparison (work around for alarm clock I found is to use music alarm w/ Ozzy Osbourne or Herb Albert at full blast, then Airplane Mode before turning in so those notifications don't come through).
Also, very annoying - camera settings not holding.
All that said, two things I LOVE about this phone:
1) Camera: Was very nervous as the Vibrant has a great camera - I think the HD7 is equal. While somethings in the controls software leave something to be desired, the photo quality is there (also Vibrant doesn't have a flash). I have attached two UNedited photos below.
2) Voice recognition: Vibrant was competent with names like "Smith" but throw something more exotic than that out, there was some confusion. HD7 - refreshing!! Even "Elias Mankouche" goes smoothly through - have not had any phone with this kind of recognition capability!
Those are my 2cents worth!

I got my HD7 for a steal of a deal, heard all the negative and tried it anyways...I had my HD2 to fall back on if it didn't work...I haven't taken my sim card out of the HD7 since December .

Where can I get an really cheap functional phone for the elder?

The young like smartphones, but what also the elder? I think the function phone may fit them better. With loud and clear speaker, good GPS, big font and battery with long standby time, SOS etc.
Recently some people are talking about the V3S from vkworld mobile, it seems that it have attracted many fans, the price is $19.99 right now. Here is a pic of it:

Can't get hole punch notification light to work?

The stock EdgeLighting and I downloaded EdgeLighting+ and I still cannot get the camera hole punch notification light to work on either the outer or inner screens. I assume the correct option would be "Eclipse" but when I press it nothing happens?

I'm using Always On Edge from the Play Store.
I've used it on past few galaxy models and it works really well, minimal impact to battery life.
Settings can be a bit tricky but it's easy enough to work out. I've raised a few issues with the dev and he always responds and sorts it really quickly. At the minute I can only get it working on either the front or inside screen, not both at the same time due to the camera placement. I've contacted dev to see if that would be something he could implement.
Use the app called Aod Notify. Perfect app.

Hello, i have bought the app but i can not get it to work when coverscreen is of. Any idea's?

Question Can't adjust audio balance, is there a fix/app? [SOLVED]

I need to be able to adjust the audio balance (or, if you prefer, the left-right volumes) on my Pixel 7. (One earbud plays half as loud as the other.) But every app I have tried so far (Wavelet and PowerAmp EQ are the only ones with memorable names) fails to be able to do this. They'll generally work in all other functions (EQ, total volume, reverb, etc) but always fail to address the left-right balance.
Is there a magic app I haven't tried? Is there an inbuilt setting I haven't found yet? Or is the Pixel 7/current-Android-version simply incapable?
Thanks in advance. I did search xda and the rest of the world and came up empty.
Try going to settings, accessibility, audio adjustment. There is a L/R slider.
Good luck!

Crap, I know I looked there at least once. Must have skimmed right past it.
That works, but it'll be a pain if I switch to the other earbuds. Don't suppose there's any way to make it quicker to adjust or shortcut to that setting?
ETA: Wait, stop, I just discovered Accesibility Shortcuts are a thing. Never needed anything like this before. Thanks again, OJ!
