So I'm guessing you didn't send it Musky? Hope not....it's not fast at all, maybe 15wpm or so, but it's bad code. Particularly the second group...

Really? I wish it actually said something. Like "you've got a text"

Now that we can use the LED as a flashlite like the droid had from the begining, can devs now create apps to make it even more functional? I know before the 2.2 upgrade there were app but they required root. I'd like to see a strobe or a programable morse code....?? :o

I must know.. how often do you use morse code?
 
I think an app that sends morse code from the led, directly from what you type into the keypad, and that same app could then read the morse code from others, using the camera, and displays the words on the screen.

I would buy THAT APP!

Ha ha, i never even clicked on that link! Great minds.....
 
I just found out that I now have an HTC Flashlight. That's bad ass. I guessed this came with Froyo as I never open my app drawer so I had no clue.
 
Just fyi, now that we have 2.2, anyone using the SwitchPro Widget can now put the flashlight toggle on the widget. It would not work before and I imagine that it works with other similar apps.

It's like any foreign language. You need to be able to "feel" the rhythm of the sender/speaker in order to hear the code. If you don't understand Spanish, it sounds like one long string of jibberish with no pauses. Same goes for code.

Since morse code uses a fraction of the bandwidth of voice, it is better suited for long distance radio communications than voice.

I'm a no code Tech, but I appreciate the guys who work the code keys.
 
I am not if this was mentioned but LEDstrodeGEE works great, it has a up arrow to make it strobe faster and a.down arrow to make it strobe slower. I love this app. I found it in the market and i am unrooted. hope this helps anyone. Cheers.
 
GUYS!!! I found an app that does this!

SMS Message!!! You type a message and hit send. The person across the park gets the message and sends you one back and it appears on your screen!!!!!!

Am I missing something? Who still uses Morse code. I have a sneaking suspicion if the developers of Morse code had smartphones, Morse code would have never been developed at all.

Personally, I'm waiting for the smoke signal or telegraph app. Now THAT will be something great! ;)

There are some of us who actually still use Morse Code EVERY DAY!
AND while Sam Morse may never have carried a Smart Phone his creation has saved millions of lives, advanced electronics in ways that can never measured and ultimatly allowed for the tellicommunication system we have today. Here is to CW!

Got my ham license back when you had to know code to pass the test :)

Long live the ARRL!

I'm impressed! Not totally surprised someone got it quick. I became a ham when we had to learn the code as well. Still have the ARRL practice tapes..! wow.. now I feel old! LOL

Yes, I made the mistake of "memorizing" the code, so I never could get my speed high enough to pass my General test. I ended up with a "tech" license, which I haven't used for forty years. And yes, we really date ourselves! LOL :)

Have we gotten off topic much? Anywho, I'm experiencing:
1) the faster battery drain,
2) slower charge,
3) negate charge while in GPS,
4) MASSIVE amounts of lag (sporadic),
5) I've also noticed that I'm booting with far less available memory than I used to (according to ATK it was 2.1: about 180-200MB free; 2.2: about 110-140 free).
6) VZNav and AmazonMP3 are constantly opening themselves (and I don't wanna hear that they aren't slowing things down. I experience lag, they are open. I kill them, lag goes away.)

For the record, I went with the update.zip method

Long story short, I was under the impression Froyo was supposed to make my phone faster and more efficient. It's made it slower and less efficient. HTC/VZW's Froyo update sucks. I'm considering a hard/factory reset right now. After that, Rooting. (in case of warranty needs, can you unroot?)

I think you posted in the wrong thread. That may be why you think this is off topic.
