Inspired by the Wuvuzela app (and possibly by the announcement of Portal 2 at E3), I've developed a simple little application that allows you to blow into your phone's microphone to blow out candles on a cake.
The options screen, displayed before running the app, now allows you to Calibrate your device's microphone. Simply touch "Calibrate", press OK, and blow into your phones mic until told to stop. The minimum decibels needed blow out the candles are now set to your current environment.
You can also enable the tune, which will play the Happy birthday tune after blowing out the candles.
Finally, you can change the preset message to something more personal, such as "Happy Birthday, Michele!"
Features:
-Blow out candles with your phones mic
-Custom birthday message
-Calibrated to your environment
-New, prettier birthday cake
-Happy birthday tune played in the background
Tested and working on my HTC HD2, but should work on other devices as well.
Let me know what you think/if you have any problems.

Does it flicker any? (animation should change if over 25dB)

That's strange, I suppose the app can't get a hold on your devices microphone. Again, it's only been tested on the HD2.

Nice Application......Thanks

---

work great on omnia even just half screen...thank..

---

thanks for this good idea ! But in my HTC Touch HD, doesn't work : the candle is still there even if I blow strongly...

---

Nice app. But bad for your HD2's mic (corrosion!).

---

Didn't work on Samsung Omnia 2 (i8000)

---

Nice application.
But will be better if we can edit the message.

---

Thank you very much for application. Today is my birthday, even I can't switch off the candle.
I will try to restart the phone just in case.

Happy Birthday! Buy a real cake and share it with family and friends

If I may give my input
I think this application is useless, however many people like useless applications. To be quite honest, I think If you added the happy birthday song within the app that could be played on demand, that would create a much higher demand for it. I know there have been times when its someones birthday and I wish I could play the birthday song..... If this idea intrigues you let me know when you add it so I can be the first to test it out.... seems pretty simple....Good luck

---

great start....has great potential !!! why not try a new app of bits of paper.....that fly in pointed direction when blown in the mic ????

Thank you very much. Of course I bought a real cake for my friends. I have installed this app only for fun!
Happy holiday to all of you!

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Once I get off vacation, I'll be sure to see about adding these features.
Also, can anyone see about getting me a cake image I can edit? One without a giant Portal gun?
