RDF SEEKER
Now with more android!
For details on the windows version of RDF Seeker see my XDA thread here
Hello everyone!
Say hello to the newest RDF Seeker!
This puppy is an all new concept designed specifically with Android in mind!
Who wants to search for rdf files? I sure don't! I say let your phone do the searching! RDF Seeker for Android is designed with this exact concept in mind!
Unlike the windows version of RDF Seeker which is designed for batch rdf searches,
RDF Seeker for Android checks for the latest rdf file automatically and then notifies you when a new RDF is found!
>>Features List<<
Automatically checks for new RDF's so you don't have too.
Supports downloading RDF files into a reading friendly format
for viewing in a text editor on your phone.

Hey, I am jumpinh over here from the Epic Touch side. You have a popular following over there. Anyways, I had a feature request.
Would it be hard to add a custom box to search for a device that is not thought of yet. Suppose there was a SPH-XXXX that was coming out or even a HTC device. It would be great if there was a custom field. I know how to search it in the browser but your app would add some convenience for that purpose. Especially since it automatically checks.
Thanks

Sorry for bringing back a thread from the dead, but there are many new devices out there with RDFs...
Galaxy Nexus - http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-L700/
Galaxy S3 - http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-L710/
Boost Galaxy S2 - http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D710BST/
Nexus S 4G - http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D720/
Transform Ultra - http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-M930/
Conquer4G - http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D600/
Confirmed LG RDF for Viper - http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS840/LS840ZVG.rdf LG appears to just go up one letter/digit ie LS840ZVD, LS840ZVE, LS840VZF, etc
Here is a guess on a Motorola variant of the rdfs....
Photon Q - http://device.sprintpcs.com/Motorola/XT897/
I don't know what the Motorola releases are named, but its worth a shot...
Basically if you go to http://device.sprintpcs.com/*manufactuer*/*model*/ a 404 means bad request and a 403 is forbidden, meaning there is a folder there, but file listing is not available.
It would be nice if the search was variable, IE give the user the opportunity to input the Device Manufacturer and Model into the search string. Let's say the Galaxy Note 2 becomes rumored as SPH-L720, give a search where the user can select Samsung and enter a model number and your app search on it.
Also, a submission option would be great to get new model numbers to the developer for addition to the app.
Maybe make a free and paid version with the paid version being able to search for user entered strings. I'd pay a few bucks for that...

Love all of the suggestions. Some have been previously mentioned and I had begun to look into them (User specified model number) but due to life getting in the way (Read having a full time job) I have been unable to make any headway towards another update.
If and when I get some time to get to work on this app again, I intend on doing a full rewrite in order to implement many of the features you have specified here.
Thanks for letting me know that there is still an audience out there that finds this app useful.
Thanks for the reply, I'll keep digging and adding info here.
Here are two confirmed Motorola rdfs for the Photon Q

You can also do the following to get the latest RDF (not sure how accurate this is)
http://device.sprintpcs.com/*Manufacturer*/*Model*/latest
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D710/latest
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-L900/latest

Quick update.
I've started some basic work on a new version of RDF Seeker for Android.
The new version will include many of the features requested by users as well as some I have been thinking of since I first started RDF Seeker.
Some features which will be in the new version are:
1. User defined devices. No more hard coded devices!
2. Ability to view the latest RDF for a device.
3. Multiple device searching! No longer will you be forced to choose a single device to monitor. Monitor as many as you want!
One thing I would like to make people aware of is my intent make this app ad supported. Ad's will be minimal, and there will be a paid version ($1) which will remove them if you want. I know it's a bit of a bummer, but hey I have bills to pay ya know.
Do to the amount of changes needed to implement many of these features, I am going to have to re-imagine pretty much the whole GUI/Workflow so there still isn't an ETA.
Just wanted to let anyone out there who still uses this app know that work is being done!
I think there is a bug in the Windows Phone IE implementation.
Even on my Focus I had tabs simply go blank while I was reading them or after I opened them but before I got to read them. It wasn't repeatable until now. Previously I reopened the same article a second time and it was usually fine. The reason it is so problematic is the way I read articles. I have an igoogle page full of RSS feeds from the top two dozen sites I follow. I skim the igoogle page and open the first five articles I want to read in other tabs, then I go back and read them one at a time. I would read engadget or gizmodo similarly. If the articles span multiple pages then I when click the "next button" I switch tabs to another article while the page loads. Maybe it is obvious to everyone but I do it this way so I don't have to wait for pages to load. Also I have my internet website settings on my phone set to desktop preference rather than mobile.
Anyway, the fact that the pages would go blank was most annoying because when I opened a tab that went blank I would have to go back through the original list of articles to figure out which one I had missed.
I couldn't duplicate it until I tried to read this article:
http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=d3debfc5accaa909f0cd201b356bfdc0
The article is pretty interesting - it is Tom's Hardware take on the new Intel Z77 chipset and Lucidlogix implementation. I would appreciate if anyone would try to read it for me. You will have to set your browser preference on the 900 to "desktop version" to duplicate the bug. I can sometimes get two or three pages in clicking 'next' before it crashes in one way or another. If nobody can duplicate my problem then my Lumia is going back for another 900.
Brought me to m.tomshardware.com for an article called "Intel’s Z77 Express And Lucidlogix MVP: New Features For Gamers - Z77 Express: USB 3.0 And Enhanced Manageability" with no problems...
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express

Update: So then I went back and opened the link with the browser in desktop mode and was able to get it to crash around the 4th page. However... I saw some funky rendering on the 3rd page so I'm not sure what caused the crash (could have been bad code from the article's site not handled well in IE).
Bug Submitted

Thanks. I have submitted this as a bug. I am surprised that more people haven't commented on "desktop version" crashes in Windows Phone Internet Explorer. Maybe I should switch back to "mobile version" since most sites are now coded correctly for that.
Hi guys I just found this article it's about new updates coming to all samsung variants!! check ir out:
http://news.yahoo.com/samsung-galaxy-iii-galaxy-note-ii-features-split-150523146.html
Try this one! sorry about the other one!
Here 's full Info Link above is a little short on info.
Samsung Tips 'Premium Suite' Upgrades for Galaxy S III
Samsung today showed off some new features that will be coming to the Galaxy S III smartphone in the coming weeks via a "Premium Suite" upgrade.
Samsung is offering more than a dozen new features for Galaxy S III users, from an option that will automatically start playing your favorite songs when you plug in earphones to one that will adjust the size of the text on your browser.
The company first introduced the Premium Suite concept in May, and is now rolling it out to its flagship Galaxy S III .
Samsung did not immediately respond to a request for comment as to when the update will roll out, but it noted in blog posts that "availability and timing of the Premium Suite upgrade will vary depending on the country and mobile carrier."
The new features are broken down into four categories: contextual awareness, enhanced features, powerful multimedia, and new features and better accessibility.
Contexual Awareness
Page Buddy: The feature will kickstart certain features based on your actions. You can program the phone to start playing your favorite song or playlist as soon as you plug in your earphones, for example.
Contexual Menu: Tired of flipping through pages and pages of apps? This option will present your most frequently used apps upon startup and allow you to see the most used apps when you attach files to your messages.
Contextual Tag: Where did you take that photo again? With contextual tag, your phone will remember the date, place, and even the weather at the time you snapped that photo.
Enhanced Features
Multi Window: Looking to multi-task? Multi Window will let you open two apps at the same time for a split-screen view.
Auto Share Point Pairing using NFC: With Auto Share Shot mode, you can easily share photos and videos using NFC and S-Beam.
Reader Mode: Stop squinting while trying to read that article online. This feature will let you change the size of the text on your mobile browser and click the webpage to share it.
Facebook Lock Ticker: For quick Facebook update, the Lock Ticker will show you your Facebook news feeds from the lock screen.
Powerful Multimedia
Paper Artist: Instagram? Nah, with Paper Artist, users can "change the moods of your pictures whenever you want - like a pop artist," Samsung said.
Low Light Show: Need to snap a photo in low light without a flash; no problem, this feature is your answer.
Best Face: With group shots, "somebody always blinks," Samsung says. With the Galaxy S III, however, you can take a burst photo of five shots and pick the best faces from each one for the perfect composite shot.
New Features & Better Accessibility
Easy Mode: New to smartphones? Select Easy Mode, which places the five most frequently used widgets on the desktop for easy access.
Sound Balance: If your hearing is better or worse in one ear, use this feature to adjust the sound balance on one side of your earphones.
Setup Wizard: The accessibility menu will pop up when you power on your device.
Easy Snap: For those who are visually impaired, the phone will provide special noises and audible cues for thigs like taking photos.
In other Samsung news, the company released a teaser video yesterday, titled "Get Ready," which tips "something new" between Jan. 8-11, which is when next year's Consumer Electronic Show takes place. Samsung is scheduled to host a press conference on Jan. 7 and a keynote on Jan. 9. There have been reports that Samsung might show off its next-generation Galaxy S IV at CES or Mobile World Congress the next month, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Agreed.
Thread Closed
Hello everyone,
This is the announcement of our new Gear (Galaxy) watch app. It is basically a full-featured voice assistant using Amazon Alexa voice service running on your watch.
Today, we will be starting a closed beta and hopefully if we can solve all issues, the app will be released in 10-15 days.
The application consists of a GUI on the watch and a companion app which should run on the Android phone. (only Android , no IOS unfortunately)
The Android companion app is released at:
Alexa Gear
Without the watch app, the companion Android application is useless.
We have a few known issues, and before a full release including watch side application, we would like to identify and solve all issues.. That's the reason of this closed beta.
The app supports following Samsung Watches:
Samsung Gear S2
Samsung Gear S3
Samsung Gear Sport
Samsung Galaxy Watch
If you are interested in beta testing, please see below notes for beta testers, and provide your information in the form of following example by sending an email to mrmrmrmr(at)gmail.com
Email Subject: Application for AlexaGear Beta Test
Email body:
Name: John Smith
Email: [email protected] (your email address used to login for Samsung Galaxy/Gear App Store)
Phone Brand/Model: Samsung Note 9
Watch Model: Samsung Gear S3
Phone OS: Android 8.0
Notes for beta testers:
Beta application will be open from now on and will be closed when we believe all required type of users are selected.
Applying for the beta does not guarantee that you will be selected as a beta user. We would like to keep the beta group small with enough sample of various watch/phone models.
Beta process may continue untill the application is released.
Beta download link will be provided to selected users starting later today.
Notes about the current state of the application - also important for beta attendees:
The app is not fully released and this is a closed beta. It may cause application force-close on your phone.
The debug version of the app may cause high battery usage on your phone since it is not optimized.
You may have to install Amazon's official "Amazon Shopping" application on your phone to login, if it is not already installed.
The current version of the app outputs the voice response from Alexa on your phone and not your watch. Voice response will be sent to watch in a later release.
We expect from beta users to share their experience in the form of following only. All other communication attempts may be missed (i.e. different mail subject or wrong form of mail body);

The Galaxy Tab S7 series was updated to One UI 3.1 last month but Samsung hasn’t stopped working on developing new features for its flagship tablet duo. In fact, the company is now getting ready to release a follow-up firmware update for the Galaxy Tab S7 series; one that will introduce a handful of new S Pen features which will likely be appreciated by productivity-oriented users.
The update will make the S Pen usable in more scenarios and allow for handwriting in more text boxes that are usually serviced with the on-screen keyboard. For example, once the update will be applied, Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7+ owners will have the ability to use the S Pen for handwriting in address boxes. They’ll have options to insert punctuation marks, and the text will instantly be converted into digital text. The same S Pen to text option will also be added to Samsung Notes, and it will be available in over 80 languages at launch.
Scanning documents just got easier
The Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Tab S7+ already give users the option to scan documents using the Camera, but the upcoming update will bring this feature more to the forefront.
This isn’t as big of a change as the S Pen to text addition but, following the update, the Scan option will be found under Attach, right next to the Image, Camera, and PDF options. Once a document is scanned, the user will be able to start jotting down notes on the document using the S Pen.
Samsung claims that the next Galaxy Tab S7 firmware update with the S Pen to text feature included will be released by the end of February. The rollout will commence in select markets though, so it won’t be available everywhere at start.
Once you’ll have the update running on the Galaxy Tab S7 or Tab S7+, you’ll find the new S Pen to text feature by opening Settings and accessing S Pen under Advanced Features.
Galaxy Tab S7 S Pen feature update is live and it brings Dolby to DeX
Samsung has promised us that a new firmware update for the Galaxy Tab S7 series will go live before the end of the month, and the company’s keeping its word. The Galaxy Tab S7 series is now getting a new S Pen feature update in Europe, and it happens to include the latest March 2021 security patch.
Galaxy Tab S7+ owners in Germany — and possibly other countries — should now be able to download firmware version T976BXXU1BUBB from the Settings app, and the firmware will also be available for download from our archive soon. The rollout began with the Galaxy Tab S7+ but the base model shouldn’t be far behind.
New S Pen to text feature is live along with Samsung Free, Dolby for DeX
The latest firmware update for the Galaxy Tab S7 series adds a new S Pen to text feature that lets you use the S Pen in more areas including address boxes, and it makes scanning documents a little bit more convenient as the feature is easier to reach.
In addition, the new update introduces Samsung Free, as well as Dolby support in DeX mode and improves the platform’s stability. The fingerprint scanner should have also improved but no additional details were included in Samsung’s official changelog. If you happen to notice any changes, feel free to let us know in the comment section below.
