The reason for my thought was, the ability that a smart phone can power up a USB Device (e.g. USB Pen Drive) and read it's contents and the ability to charge a phone using a USB power input. I wonder no one has tried this. Who likes to ruin the smart phones... ;)

Please let me have some ebay or amazon link to find that cable? or you made it yourself? I couldn't find that.

That would be great to have Micro USB to Micro USB charging, I wonder whether that is possible? In my case I have Samsung older phone and Sony Xperia. I would love if I could charge Sony from Samsung when needed because I'm a heavy Xperia user and battery is draining fast. But I'm afraid whether they will get damaged if I do so.

Useful when one is about to die. So some share would give some chance to make some important work in it.

I had this idea since I have one old non smart phone, and I have a SONY XPERIA. I'm just thinking if it's possible to charge one smart from with power from another smart phone.

It's great to have a Android App to post questions, follow discussions, and browse on code project articles which is simpler than mobile browser. It'll be nice to have so that users can easily interact with Codeproject on the go.

Guys anyone knows whether there is any app we can use for playing music in the background while in a call?...

Praise the Lord for the time you got to live... :) :)

Thx, the problem was incorrectly tracked by profiler. It's not a problem with javax.swing.JOptionPane.showOptionDialog ... :)

Hi, I'm using javax.swing.JOptionPane.showOptionDialog for getting user input. But this is very slow. Please can someone let me know how to improve the functionality of this? or is there any alternative to speed up. It's so disappointing as this takes seconds to load a simple user input window. Below is the code I have used for this, JOptionPane.showOptionDialog( VolChangeMDIFrame.getDesktop(),VolUserInput,VolumeSelectTitle, JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION, JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, null,null,null); Thanx in advance.

Hi Dave, Thanks for the info. which I was looking for. I will check that out. :)

I just wanted to install Oracle 9.2 for my academic purposes. It doesn't even complete the setup wizard even later I tried with changed compatibility settings, and 'RUN AS ADMIN'. Neither of them worked for me.. It actually crashes while installing sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't set up services properly. This must be a problem in Windows Vista. But when I used Oracle Express edition it worked, but in there no much functionality to study Oracle well. Just can manage with single database+ some commands. Better someone can suggest something to do in order to get Oracle up and running in Vista.

Hi, I have an application which outputs a small sized bill report (invoice). For printing purpose, actually to deliver with products currently I'm using a Laser printer which require A4 size papers and all... I need to bring down the cost by using a small scale and low cost paper consuming printer since it's just a shop terminal. I have seen big supermarkets have such ones but they are not using normal PCs, but special embedded systems dedicated for that.So Anyone got smart idea for this one? please help me finding one. thanks in advance :thumbsup:. i.e. :) :) Pasan Indeewara :) :)
