[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr@w:
I am having the same problem as in the OP, except on my EF02 deodexed ROM when it comes out of sleep it doesn't re-establish the connection.. Anyone have any suggestions?

-Kr@w

Edit: I forgot to mention that I have reflashed through odin, and cwm to no avail. I also have tried EC05, EE02, EF02, and EF10 modems. It seems to be doing it on all of them.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xiutehcuhtli:
I'm fairly certain it stays connected, it's just not active.

The TuneIn example is great, that's an app I use frequently. I also use Pandora and Slacker and they also continue to transmit data even with the screen turned off. If I get an email I get notified, if I get a facebook message I receive notification, if I receive a video call request it notifies me.

It has been the same for me both on the stock Epic and now on SRF 1.2, there is no reason you should be losing the connection if it is stable prior to the screen shutting off, IMO.

Maybe there is something more going on here. The only times I have ever had problems with my 4G connection is when I had certain apps installed, they tended to disrupt the data. Try uninstalling a few data intensive apps and see what happens.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr@w:
Thanks for the suggestions. I actually created a new thread because I believe my issue is different than this OP. It's under EF02 4g issues or something. (can't remember right now) But it is specifically when the screen turn off. I just went in and kept the screen on while plugged in and it was fine. For some reason after the screen turns off and I turn it on a minute or so later, than even though 4g shows active it won't transfer data. The only apps I have that might be data intensive is email, or possibly SNS pulling FB data.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheInfinaire:
I've had issues with this also, as I stream movies off the net on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 while tethered wirelessly to my Epic. Once the screen is off and you leave it be data will go through for about 2-3 minutes then stop until I wake the phone up and turn on the display. It's annoying while watching movies and every 2 minutes it stops because the data connection on the phone stops.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duce102:
Are you at least rooted? All my settings took effect instantly without rebooting. I maxed out the dB and idle time.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A_Flying_Fox:
I must have a god phone.

It sleeps while tethered to my pc with 4g on and I still get my 4g speeds.

it also handles 1.4ghz like nothing and haven't had any random reboots ever.

So either I'm just lucky or you're all doing something wrong.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styles420:
Um... Exactly? The OP didn't give me the impression that he *didn't* know that - in fact, I doubt he would consider it a problem if he didn't...

And another user made a good point - an idle 3g connection will still receive incoming data, while a sleeping 4g connection will not react until woken up at the phone's end. Therefore, the two are fundamentally different. And a connection that sleeps like that is inconvenient.

Computers tend to have something constantly communicating once connected, at least with most sites that I use. Even a Google search page will at least try to ping due to the instant search results. This is enough to keep tethering alive - at least, it works fine with plenty of battery, low charge may result in frequent idling (but at that point, you only have a few minutes left, with 4g AND tethering running...). I use usb tethering as my primary connection, which eliminates the low battery problem, and the connection holds as long as I leave a browser open. I don't need to keep the phone screen on or anything like that unless I'm using something that doesn't send enough data fast enough for the phone to consider the connection to be in active use (e.g. My MUD client - it seems that text based games just don't use enough of the bandwidth, lol)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domwin:
ahhh! Did anyone find a solution to keep 4g alive with the screen turned off??
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
4G is always connected...but it "sleeps" when there is no outgoing or incoming data. So, it is always "alive"

I am Z.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austin420:
Nice sig to go with that correct answer.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishfleck:
It definitely does not act the same as a regular 3G connection. The biggest problem is with GTalk. Even with setting idle to 300, it disconnects from GTalk and you receive all your messages all at once, later when you wake up the connection. Wish I didn't have to switch 4G on and off to use 4G.

Preventing Data ZZZing

I would download Terminal Emulator from the app store.

Once it's downloaded and installed, open it up and ping google or something. That should prevent your data "zzzing." Battery life will suffer though.

Source

Create a cmd file in windows (ex: ping.cmd) with the following-

:loop
ping -n 1 ipaddress
sleep 10
goto loop

This will ping ipaddress once, sleep 10 seconds and repeat

Can someone dial ##DEBUG# on their phone dialer and let me know if you have a Wimax CT option. Sorry it's been years since I had an og epic so I dont remember. But if my GS2 which was also wimax and built practically the same had it I'm assuming the GS1 should have it too. There's an official way to stop 4G from going idle however I'm not sure if the OG Epic has it since I discovered it on the Epic Touch.

While I was booting up my xoom, I accidentally selected "NVFlash" by playing with the volume keys at the "Motorola Dual Core Technology", now I cannot seem to turn off or restart the tablet, no matter how long I hold the power button.

It's stuck at a pure black screen with the LED on on the right. Anyone know how to get out this? Thanks in advance. I couldn't find anything about this on the Xoom -- just the G Tablet and LG Optimus 2X.

Solution: Yea don't laugh :P Just press both volume keys and the power button and the xoom will turn off no matter what.

Hi people!

I'm trying to learn how to develop android apps. I'm not trying to become a developer but for fun and learn this. So I go step by step.In the past I just have very basic visual basic and fortran experience...I don't know java lang. But while searching I found out that android is based on java. so I grabbed netbeans and jdk. and it was easy and understandable to do some basic math(with tutorials) with it, like + - * /

So I thought I'd give a try to appinventor. Ok easy enough.Done basic math. But I want to learn the code itself.

So I'm dealing with eclipse right know. I learned some basic stuff which you can not learn with appinventor.

But when it comes to basic math, I'm stuck!

Let me explain:

with appinventor it's easy to make this (pics are at the end of the post)

when I try to make this with eclicpe...I'm going nuts. I couldn't find any tutor.

Strings.xml

Forum does not let me enter my main.xml and main.java codes. so I atteched the pics and txt files below. :confused:

this gives me a "app has stopped unexpectedly" error

what I'm trying to do is

1)user inputs a number

2)clicks on a button (there will be several buttons in my app,this is just a test app)

3)application does some math with that number

ie. ((number*5)/2)

4)textView1 shows the result

Should it be simple like in appinventor or am I missing sth in my codes?

And I'm not sure but do I need to add a java math function or sth like that in my app to do simple math like this?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Software Development] MongooseHelix:
The first thing to check is your AndroidManifest.xml file. The Eclipse ADT plugin should create this file and include the main activity for your app automatically if it has been installed. However, an app will throw the error you are receiving if an activity is run that isn't listed in the manifest and it's very common(at least for me) to forget at first to add a newly created activity to the manifest. Below is an example of an AndroidManifest.xml file from the Hello, Android tutorial.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.helloandroid"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".HelloAndroid"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
[Android Software Development] Dark3n:
Hi there desisamay,

to be honest i did not really look and your code to try and find the error, but i did write you an example app you can expand or use to learn ;).

Attached to my post is the example app and my whole eclipse project directory of it.

The app has an edittext to input a number, a button to start the calculation x*2/5 and a textview to show the result.

I hope you enjoy it and if anything is still unclear, just ask!
[Android Software Development] nemoc 23:
when the activity starts you try to get the text of the edittext and convert it to string which is null since the edittext is empty at the beginning. You should get the input when you click the button (and maybe even check if the edittext is empty)
[Android Software Development] desisamay:
Thank you very much! This was exactly what I was trying to do! I was trying to do this with onClickListener and defining values... But your lines are clear and understandable and now I know how to make definitions and basic math functions. I think there'd be more lines to write with onClickListener. But this way is simple and works like a charm. Thank you again.

Also I've added

to EditText in main.xml just to be sure the user inputs numbers only. maybe just "number" will do the same.

But one more question:

we write the result to output like this

output.setText("The result of " + mInput + " times two, divided by 5 is " + mOutput);

do we have to use some text in it? if I try just

output.setText(mOutput);

eclipse warns me

and underlines setText with red. but we 've already defined mOutput before like double mOutput = (mInput*2/5);

@MongooseHelix

My AndroidManifest.xml was the same as you posted. Since I only have one action. Thanks.

@nemoc 23

I was trying to that. get the input when button clicked. Convert to string of course and do some math. But I couldn't.(now I can :) ) But you're right for checking the edittext field after clicking the button. I'm pretty sure if you click the button with an empty edittext area, app will give an error.(i tried and it did)

When writing my little app I'm planning to add this and warn the user with a toast text.
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
output.setText( mOutput.toString() );

Hey yall I just got the goto lockscreen from Google (because it is a paid app) and it is AMAZING) this is by far one of the cleanest lockscreen apps I've used. I recommend using this along side jet

ex Rom and zeam launcher. You're also going to have to get no lockscreen toggle fRom the market. But trust its worth your time.

This app includes:

Rotary unlock accommodated with messaging, call, and gmail rotary shortcuts

Clean lockscreen interface

Personalization options such as setting owner name to display ect.

So, I was trying to use a custom sound for an alarm. It seems though any custom sound is only playing out of the back speaker, and is therefore severely dampened by the kickstand.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrod33084:
So I been a big flasher of roms since I had my vibrant. Tried em all. Eclair all the way to cm7 gingerbread. The one thing that always attracted me to a specific rom is the animations. In my opinion cm7 had the nicest, smoothest, slickest animations. Especially the screen off animation ( my favorite) . My question is is there anyone out there that can duplicate those same animations or extract them and integrate them into the custom froyo roms? Or even create a flashable zip to add them to any rom? I loved cm7 but am tired of the bugs it has so I am reverting back to froyo. Wont lie I will miss those animations lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattymat:
If you look in the themes and apps section you can find a developer who created the animations that you were asking about. He's the same guy who created the popular "better" gingerbread themes.

Take a look around there and you'll find what you're looking for.

No its from AOSP Gingerbread. Also, just so you know, jdan didn't create any of the animations, he's just packaged them for use on our Vibrants. Still a great themer nonetheless, just a shame I haven't seen him around here for a while.

Ok today Verizon call me and asked if I would like to renew my plan and replace my phone with new every 2 years.

Now I really really like my Eris. It's size is wonderful the speed is not great from all the development from XDA developers and thank you all for the support over the years.

Yes the phone could use more ram but adding sd cards and tweaking this done the job for me.

So the question is should I be looking to to an LTE4 phone before it is a limited data plan right now I tether my phone to my computer when on the road and I use the GPS so much with google maps.

The TB looks like a great phone however I hear the battery life stinks and duel cores are the next big thing.

What would you do?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir_Eagle:
There's always going to be a newer, faster, more of this or that coming out soon.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moos3y:
I would wait it out. If your Eris does everything you need then why bother to change into a new plan now?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pokelover980:
I haven't seen the battery life on the TB yet, but the argument of not getting it and instead waiting for a dual core phone is crap. I've seen the speed of the TB on stock and it's amazingly fast, I don't see a dual core processor giving you any advantage over the single core in the TB.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homer169:
I agree with sir_eagle. If you always wait for the next big thing, when Do you stop waiting? The thunderbolt looks pretty awesome. That's what I am wanting right now. I can't see the battery life being any worse than what the Eris was a couple of years ago. That's just my $. 02.

I do agree with everyone the TB will most likely get better with time, as for waiting one side of me says wait for a smaller phone because I like the size of what I have but the other says go for it... Coverage will come with time and the phone specs are great.

I really wanted the TB, but now with running GSB on my little Eris it is totally revived and does what I need it to do.

Sure it is not an Inc or TB in regards to specs, but atm I'm quite happy.

Also hesitant to sign up for another 2 year contract, so for my next phone I might go the e-bay route as well should my Eris die.

4G is not in my area yet and won't be till at least next year, so no need for a 4G phone yet.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chopstick2U:
I'm in the same boat. I'd love to get the latest and greatest, but my Eris is running pretty well on GSB 2.8. I fear the TB might be a little big, and I'm worried about these rumors of unrootable HTC devices. If the Incredible 2 is unrootable, I guess I can look into the LG Revolution, or fall back on the TB, which may prove to be the last great dev phone on Verizon.

Or... if the gloomy predictions about Android becoming more closed end up being all true, I'll get the iPhone 5 and sit this generation of Android out until they pull their heads outta their asses. :( Maybe I'll wait for a device that runs Jellybean.
