A Few Quick Questions and Feature Requests

hi there!

i already posted this on the 3g .c o. uk forums, but thought since you have your own website, that you might prefer to answer this here, so here is a copy of what i wrote there:

hi there, tried your program the other day and all i can say is WOW ... you've really outdone yourself here! fantastic and easy to use, thanks for this and keep up the good work!


i have a couple of questions though that i need to ask...

1: is it possible to list files alphabetically? for example, when browsing audio files, to have them listed in alphabetical order would make it a LOT easier to browse

2: can you extend compatibility for 3ga files to be played in the XploreME! audio player, since they can be played with the phone using the inbuilt audio player? i have many 3ga files on my transflash card (which is the only way to play m4a files on E1000)

3: can playlists be implemented in the audio player? at the moment, when a file is played in the audio player there is a large open space underneath where the whole playlist of files can be listed... it would be great if that could be done rather than having to rely on the (eg. 3/24) display that is currently there (and also if a playlist can be made, to be able to manually select files to be played within that list!)

4: is it possible for an additional file option to include copying via bluetooth? for example, it would be nice to be able to select a 3ga file i have, rename the extension to m4a (which can already be done), and then bluetooth it to a friend's phone... at the moment if i rename the extension to m4a, i can't bluetooth it using the phone's inbuilt function, because the phone will not list audio files that are not supported (similar to how XploreME! won't list 3ga files currently), so it would be nice to be able to do it using XploreME!, since it can already recognise all types of files




other than these questions i have, the rest of the program is absolutely fantastic... i was going to buy another phone in a couple of weeks but this program has given me renewed interest!!! thanks again!

1. sorting files will make file listing much slower, i will do sorting
but only after ill make a new List UI that will make the filelisting
MUCH faster, but that will take time bacuse its alot of programming
and i dont have much time to deal with it.

2. yes, i will add 3ga support, next version will have it

3. along with the new list UI i will add an option to view
the playlist from inside the player, for now, you have JUMP TO TRACK.
manually playlists will also be added.

4. Motorola has blocked BlueTooth access to java apps, so
i cant do a thing... only if a NEW/HACKED firmware will be published
that remove this blocking, i could add BT options.

5. thanks, hope you will enjoy

mate,

that was great, thanks a lot for the fast reply!!

looking forward to the next version

My V3x allows Java apps to control bluetooth. 'BT Info 1.07 works well. It's a program which hacks other bluetooth devices, so I guess that if this is able to control BT, it can be done for any other java app on the V3x as well.

Some other suggestions (some of these are coming from friends of mine as well):
Is it possible to increase the photo resolution the phone is able to open with XploreMe!?

Is it possible to increase the video playback resolution and FPS limit?

Is it possible to make videos play in full screen?

Thanks.

1. what resolution isn't supported?
2. no
3. no

Quoted from avatar_43 and ashyr from www.modmymoto.com I didn't check the picture resolution myself.

Here are the quotes:
avatar_43

And I have noticed that it doesn't support the
same res as the inbuilt image viewer, tried a 1280*1024 image and it
said "too large"

Yes, the phone reads 1600x1200 pictures, just not
the java app, Probably due to tha fect that it was for the e1000 and
1280x960 is the maximum

and ashyr

yeah images are too large for xploreme.

This is the thread where these are written.

ill check it

there is no limitation of the resolution,
there is only a limit of 450 Kb file size,
BUT in order to see pictures larger than 640x480
you must enable "extended mode" in the options menu

Thanks but there isn't any "extended mode" option in the options menu. I have the RAZR V3x.

There is an option: "V3X firmware" (first option), enable it.

I see ok thanks. Had it enabled already though.

Another thing. A suggestion for the recorder now available on Version 3.6. Is it possible to make it record in *.MP3 and with a bitrate of atleast 64 preferably 96kbps?

Thanks for your work and time,
ferrarix.
