<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'><font size="4">Good Morning,</font><BR><font size="4"></font> <BR><font size="4">Two test to report.</font><BR><font size="4"></font> <BR><font size="4">1) The Android version I downloaded on my Note 2 from the email invite doesn't work well at all unfortunately.</font><BR><font size="4"></font> <BR><font size="4">The app starts, lets me select a sequence and slide calling enabled which immediately announces takeoff but that's where the fun ends.</font><BR><font size="4"></font> <BR><font size="4">It doesn't have the Tilt Control Method selected by default and doesn't allow me to select it myself. So it therefore doesn't work at all beyond that.</font><BR><font size="4"></font> <BR><font size="4">The <font style="font-size: 20pt;">phone's</font> buttons on the bottom left and right corners do nothing.</font><BR><font size="4"></font> <BR><font size="4">The phone's volume control doesn't affect volume.</font><BR><font size="4"></font> <BR><font size="4">Using the phone's ear buds only changes one thing. If I hit the mute button it does select calling enable OFF and On but otherwise doesn't work any better than with the plugs not installed and it doesn't allow me to select Control Method either (per current design I guess). It otherwise doesn't respond to any long click of any headset button.</font><BR> <BR><font size="4">So, send me an updated Android Beta version for the Note 2!</font><BR><font size="4"></font> <BR><font size="4">2) I borrowed a Note 4. It does work pretty much just like the video when using tilt which is what is selected on startup, unlike the Note 2. But like the Note 2, the ear buds don't work any differently and aren't selectable but the app does respond to the mute button.</font><BR><font size="4"></font> <BR><font size="4">Question, does the app set the volume to max? It seems a little quieter than if I use the phone on speaker.</font><BR><font size="4"></font> <BR><font size="4"></font> <BR><font size="4">Nope, can't get a new Note myself for a while longer so fix that Note 2 android 4.4.2 app version! LOL thx. BTW, the Note 4 running 4.4.4 is awesome!</font><BR><font size="4"></font> <BR><font size="4">Lucky</font><BR><font size="4"><br> </font><BR><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2014 09:06:23 -0600<br>To: vogel.peter@gmail.com; nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<br>Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Virtual Caller for iOS<br>From: nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<br><br><div>Nice job! I don't fly with a tray but assumed I could slide the phone into a breast pocket (vertical default orientation) and tilt my body to advance to the next maneuver but it's not working well. I've tried all the tilt axes but the caller just runs away calling maneuvers too fast. I suspect you assume the default orientation is that the phone will be flat horizontal or close to it so its confused when the phone is vertical. </div><div>Maybe when the user selects their roll axis you can sample the current orientation to set the default position?</div><div>Also it would be nice to have a slider to adjust the sensitivity. A very still pilot could use just a small tilt to indicate whereas a pilot using more body English needs less sensitivity. </div><div><br></div><div>Lance<br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Dec 8, 2014, at 3:56 PM, Peter Vogel via NSRCA-discussion <<a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote><div><div dir="ltr">Given that every sequence is changing for next year, it seems a good time to introduce people to the virtual caller application I listed on the Apple App Store yesterday:<div><br></div><div>Video of it in action: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOEfi3VqnCQ" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOEfi3VqnCQ</a></div><div>Get it on the Apple App Store: <a title="https://t.co/aIBFvQBsuI" style="padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; color: rgb(22, 122, 198); line-height: 17px; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent;" dir="ltr" href="https://t.co/aIBFvQBsuI" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://t.co/aIBFvQBsuI</a></div><div><br></div><div>Available now for a limited time at $1.99, price will increase soon to $2.99 This will work with every iOS device out there -- iPod touch, iPhone, iPad Mini, etc. (though I wouldn't want to put an iPad on the bottom of my transmitter to use the tilt control!) but the screen format is optimized for iPhone/iPod touch.
