*****Basal Body Temperature V1.1*****
UPDATED AT JUN 21,2009
how does this work?
Record woman's basal temperature to your PDA/PHONE with this software. So, you can see the SAFE dates obviously.
I think he might have been asking what exactly the safe dates are and how to interpret the results. Perhaps checking to see if your work is sound. Maybe a 1 instead of an 0 somewhere in the code, may lead to a little Timmy, so perhaps a thorough explanation of how it works, and a disclaimer stating you are not responsible for any unfavourable outcomes as a result of using this software, and that the only true way to prevent unwanted pregancy is abstinence.
And then if you are still willing to accept the risk that you may be bringing a child into this world, using a second non-interfering form of birth control may be prudent. I say non interfering in the sense that double bagging is actually worse, but oral contraceptives in conjunction with a condom every time significantly lowers the risk of failure. Condoms have failure rates as high as 20% with not perfect use, and birth control has failure rates of up to 5% even when taken religiously, higher of course when there are missed pills. Want an even safer method? Use the pill, condoms, the withdrawal method, and basal temp measurement. Still nothing beats abstinence. Oh and one final thing, using just the pill doesn't protect against STIs, hence another tick in the WIN column for condom use even in the setting of oral contraceptives.
Hopefully the above info will be useful to at least one person in which case the time it took to write is worth it.

Thank you very much
This kind of application can be used by Medical field practitioners and professionals as well...
Good thing... and nice idea...

...I'm lost.
Incidentally, if you're going to use basal body temperature as a guide, do it in an attempt to get pregnant, not in an attempt to determine when your "safe" days are. The basal body temperature is elevated by progesterone, which is released by the corpus luteum AFTER YOU OVULATE. Meaning it's fine to tell you when to have sex if you want a child, but a little too late after the fact if you are trying to avoid that, since by the time your temp goes up you've already released an egg.

VERY few men know
so what does this help determine?
to know when to have sex with less of a chance of getting pregnant?
so wait, what is a basal temp?
make that three, im quite confused.

There's a bit about it here: http://www.babycentre.co.uk/preconception/suspectingaproblem/chartingyourtemperature/
Taking temp won't help TODAY, but after tracking for a couple months the pattern for each woman will show up. Coupled with other indicators this method is extremely effective (12 yrs and no kids yet...).
Basically you know that she ovulates on say day 13 typically of her cycle. Count 7 days before that and start using a barrier method (or abstinence...right). 7 days is the max time for sperm to live. Count 2 days after ovulation, eggs live 24 hrs, extra day to be safe or if she's a double ovulator...
Don't take my brief overview as sufficient info, needless to say do more research!
Proposal for improvement
Not practical software, you need manual input of all data.
Would be better if the program could do a direct data aquisition (on phones with temperature sensor) and ...you simply stop the phone inside ...

And phone will enjoy all the fun ? :-D
Well I don't know... Letting my phone have my place in life. This is useful indeed. But as a suggestion, how about letting us know about more than one woman? It may be useful, to
- Preview the aproximate dates your mom, sisters, girls, will be on PMS. (so you go hide, or something)
- In case some of us are pimpin' an have more than one girl.
So there's this really cool new app that I'd like to try called "Twist" in the Play Store, but it is not yet compatible for our phone Here's a link/description for the app itself.
LINK
Description:
Twist is the easiest way to let others know when you're on your way!
Twist is the easiest way to let your family, friends and colleagues know that you're on your way!
Twist also alerts them when you are almost there and if you are running late. Whether you are driving, walking or taking public transit, Twist accurately calculates your arrival time to a specified destination and privately shares your ETA with only those that you choose.
What people are saying:
★ "Twist is a very easy-to-use app with an incredibly relevant purpose." – Wired
★ "Twist is a clever app […] It’s a really cool app for keeping people up to date on your whereabouts distraction-free.” – Mashable
★ “Ever been late for a meeting? Now, finally, there is an app for that." – Inc
Since continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life, Twist utilizes proprietary GPS and cell tower data algorithms to minimize battery drain.
Eliminate the uncertain wait times that often leave people stressed or frustrated with Twist’s simple, social and accurate ETAs. Stop waiting, stop guessing, and start twisting.
(Twist is currently available in US, CA, UK and AU on ice-cream sandwich and above.)

What I would like to know is... I'm mostly certain this app would work 99% if it was side-loaded.. would anyone be able to download this app to a compatible device and share their apk???
Heya, I am one of the engineers working on Twist for Android. I would like to offer you access to our nightly builds which are not restricted by device if you wish to help us test it. Of course, we don't currently test on your device, so it should come with the caveat that your device will probably have some critical issues. If you are interested, PM me even if the app fails horribly, the best way for us to bring support to your device quickly is through your testing.
It's great to see some growing interest in creating new watchface designs. I see new entries via he Gear app every week.
There seems to be:
- A focus on surfacing every possible function that the Fit 2 provides on most watchfaces. This results in some really busy designs, driving the point size of the activity values to ever decreasing sizes. It's not just my aging eyes that have a hard time reading many of these values, but even when I am wearing glasses (I correct to 20/15) these values are nearly impossible to read when exercising. Sometimes displaying everything, because you can, is not the best design decision.
- A lack of functionality that allows the user to select what activity values are displayed. Maybe this is a limitation of Samsung's dev tool kit?? If so, then that explains it. If not, it sure would be great to disable values that I would never want to see, such as Water and Caffeine - even Calories is useless for me. I realize this is personal, but that's why I ask the question about customization.
As I said in another thread, maybe it's best for me to just get the dev tool kit and create something for myself.
I agree. I finally hit that age where I need to wear readers for smaller text. None of the watch faces allowed me to view them without the readers. So, I did download the watch face designer and created my own. I have two that I go back and forth on. Both have large font for the time/steps/battery so I can see them while i'm exercising or just walking.
I just released a minimal large font watchface free in the store right now, might be to your liking.

Some of them are definitely too busy so I decided what I wanted to see on my watch face and then created my own (still pending Samsung approval to be listed in the store). It leans toward the small but more functional side.

I'm pretty new to this, but the Gear Watch Designer (GWD) doesn't allow one to select activities on the watch itself as far as I could find. The Samsung-made watch faces have the Stylize button to select colors and such and I can't even figure out if that's possible in GWD. One can't even select 12hr/24hr on a watchface, let alone activities. It would be a good idea though.

It's not really that hard to do. Samsung has a pretty good tutorial on their site. If you don't plan on submitting to their store, it's even easier.
Having said that, once I get Samsung to approve my current submission, I plan to make others (all free of course) and I wouldn't mind making one for you. What sort of concept do you have in mind? Activities needed, etc. This kind of stuff is a fun hobby for me and a way to give back to the XDA community.
Coal:
Thanks for the offer. When I get some time, I am going to dive in myself. I might start with something like the Black Modern by minimin, but I'd make it more readable.

Yes, that one is mine. was my first watchface and I tried to make match the request of 2 posts I saw on a different thread before you guys posted.
I plan to make more and do requests after we finish moving to our new home. Not sure if anyone is actually buy this device though. My next watchface I'm going to see about adding a pseudo flashlight button.

Hi Coal,
I've just started to make my own watch faces too for the GF2. Here is a comment from the Samsung Developers Forum on how to create a Stylize/change colors at least...
The first issue I've had is using an example as a template then activating the "Always on Display" view. When I uploaded my watchface to my GF2 it would cycle through the "layers" of my watch face then resort back to a pre-loaded Samsung watch face. So now, I just do not try and add that feature in... Good Luck! I may upload something after I practice a LOT more!

I've got a few larger tablet type Android devices mounted around the house that I use for security camera viewing. That's the only purpose they serve and they're wall mounted. Next to a couple I have a $20 device from CostCo that displays the current time and current temp as well as lots of other BS I really don't need.
What I'd like to do is eliminate these secondary devices as right next to them is a much more powerful machine that is capable of more accurate temperature and what not. I'd like an app that will display the current time and current temperature in text form right over the top of other apps. I use IP Cam Viewer for my cam app and it has a time feature but the time is too small to see from a distance. Something that allows me to sort of hover the time in the middle of the display with the temp right above or below would be perfect.
I've used the Google Machine and haven't come up with much in terms of a solution that will help me accomplish this. It's probably something very simple that I'm not thinking of or finding... hopefully. It could also be that what I'm looking for is unique enough that it's not out there but I hope not.
Any help, thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm not really sure why this got moved to "help & troubleshooting" as I don't really need help nor do I have a problem. I just want to know if an app exists that will allow me to do something that is relatively basic.
This site's countless subforums with nondescript descriptions has always been one of it's negatives IMO. In all the years I've been here I doubt I've got a 50% record of not having a thread moved to a section that doesn't seem to make sense. I've had zero issues on all other forums of all types. This is a problem unique to XDA for me.
I have been exploring several watch faces in the last couple of weeks, and I found that over 95% of watch faces come with health related info like step counter, heart rate, distance walked, etc by default. Some app developers swear by these health related data so much that they are a permanent element of their watch faces and cannot be changed if the user desires. These designs clearly show how much importance these developers themselves attach to the health and fitness data on their smartphones and smartwatches.
Personally, I think that these devices and apps are still very far from providing reliable info, and features like an app reminding oneself to drink water are totally absurd. Instead of using human faculties for understanding our own bodies, we are moving in a direction where we would eventually become completely dependent on technology to tell us how we feel, what our bodies need, etc. In other words, moving in the direction of disaster!
How many of you agree with my statement?
