I would like to first give credit to the original creators of the lockscreens I used.

I used their icons and simply modified the layout a little more to my liking.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yashgupta25:
Hey

Till last week I used to have an average of 400-450mb RAM free on the phone. Now I have a max of 250-260mb free. All that I can remember doing different to the phone is installing a few games and other apps, which of course are not used 24/7.

I'm using Advanced Task Killer (free version) and I have set it on "Crazy" app killing every 30 mins. Still I'm stuck with around 200mb. I can feel the lag when scrolling through the homepages.

What did I do and more importantly what can I do?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xinfinityoO:
did you try rebooting the phone..heheh

if you have CF-root .. boot into cwm..clear cache..clear dalvik cache and reboot..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viva.fidel:
You shouldn't have lag on the homescreen regardless of whether you have 200mb or 400mb of RAM left..

Are you using many widgets or a live wallpaper (or apps like 3g watchdog or anything that keeps a presence in the notification bar like SetCPU?), sounds like you have a memory hog somewhere

And forget using a task killer.. the apps will just start up again anyway which will waste more RAM, find AutoStarts from the market and stop useless junk starting up
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yashgupta25:
Thanks guys for the quick response. I actually restarted for some other reason and found that the RAM was back upto 590-595mb, but thats probably just coz of system files not starting yet. Right now, say 30 min after restart its around 475mb.

I'm running the stock KE7 ROM, so I'll try clearing the cache in that and see what happens.

There is no point in having "free" ram on android. Uninstall ATK and just use your phone. The constant restarting of killed applications does more harm than good and might even cause your lag.

hey guys, as title says, wont update. i got my sensation from expansys-usa but not sure it is a us model as i had to install morelocale2 app for us english. i live in the Bahamas and as you know the phone comes with google maps installed but if i go to the market it says this item cannot be installed in your device's country. but i can use the app thats there and it works fine. what is the issue ?
[HTC Sensation] kazprotos:
Same problem here in Kenya - if you get an old Android with an ancient version of Maps you can't upgrade because of device country! At least the version on the Sensation is not too old!

Only way out is when we finally get root then we can use Market Enabler or Market Access to spoof another country and download. That's what I used to do with my Nexus One.

With root you can even use - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007132 that modified maps.apk and get navigation also!

I am using a Atrix on Bell running greyblur on 2.1.1 and need to know if there is a way to use voice dialing while password locked.

I drive a lot and need bluetooth functionality but for privacy reasons I also need to keep it password locked.

So far while on the road I just leave my screen on so it doesn't lock but the battery just drains too fast.

Have anyone found a solution to this.

I dunno about that noise but if you can solder a flash onto the camera I'll pay ya good money (or give you some free color graphics work since that's what I do)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] The Pope of Dope:
Thats a wholen'other can of worms my friend.

There is only one possible scenario where this to work. Your camera in the phone is just an immasculated blackberry camera which has the APIs for the flash. In which case I would only need to solder, and cut the phone, install different camera software and BANG it works.

I doubt we have been so fortunate. I haven't seen my phone naked yet. If anybody can confirm unused solder points on the camera this may work.

Boy,

You not need any application for it. Just press switch on/Off button for bin longer. There you can see reboot. Boot into recovery must be there. If reboot in recovery is not there then down load terminal emulator along with attached zip file. Extract zip in SD root. Install terminal emulator. And write following commands..

SU (press Enter) allow super user.

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system(press Enter)

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image(press Enter)

chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image(press Enter)

mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak(press Enter)

mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system(press Enter)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img(press Enter)

reboot recovery(press Enter)

Boot custom recovery from powered off is vol_down + home + power

After this you can easily boot into custom recovery. And flash whatever you want. But make sure those are compatible e with your device.

Hi,

Just got my tab 10.1 but found that it has Chinese language display, Chinese voice input but no Chinese keyboard input. It does however have Korean keyboard input so it doesn't seem like a eastern language entering thing. My wife really needs chinese text input. What can I do? I spoke with Samsung tech support but nothing so far. I don't want to have to return this but my guess is that Asus/Acer tabs will have chinese input.

Any suggestions?

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ericcarboni:
Hello, I have just released my first app called College Football Fight Songs. It is obviously an app that plays all of the college football fight songs. I am a beginner programmer with little experience and have been testing it on a Nexus S 2.3.4 throughout my development. It has worked perfectly even after releasing the app on the Market.

The only problem is that for some reason, it does not work on all devices for whatever reason. I am very confused and don't quite know what to do. It has been made for Android 2.1 and up, and works perfectly on my Nexus S.

The problem with other devices is that when either going to another screen, or going back from a screen, it force closes.

I would like any feedback regarding this problem, or any criticism that you can offer on my app, thanks!

Because I do not have very many posts, I cannot post a link to the Market or even a QR code, but if you just search "College Football Fight Songs" or "Eric Carboni" in the Market, my app is there.

Thanks
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ericcarboni:
Can anyone help?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] krohnjw:
I'll take a look later tonight after the kids go to sleep and see if I can recreate the fc. If it is in the market have you looked at the error reports and the stack traces?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] krohnjw:
I grabbed it quick.....some initial impressions:

It's huge. You should reduce the package size if possible. Make each conference downloadable as a package possibly. You can leverage the market for this. 30 MB is a *large* app especially if I only want a few fight songs.

Since I can't recreate the fc I'll ask a few questions.

How are you handling the player resources in your onPause and onResume methods ?

How are you allocating new resources to play? Are you checking if it is already in use and calling stop before trying to play?

Do you have any error reports that you could post the stack trace from?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ericcarboni:
First I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to help me out with this. Also, I want to say how amazing your NFC Task app is: I've had it for a while now and I've been using it with some key chain tags. I love it.

Yes, I know it is huge. In fact, it is one of the biggest apps I have on my device. After I fix this problem, I will work on making each conference downloadable.

Right now, with my experience with Java, everything I have done with the playing and pausing is really basic. I am not checking if it is already in use to stop it before playing. Right now I have this -- once you are in the 'now playing' screen, I have the onPause method to stop each song from playing. I assumed there was a simpler way to do this..

But anyways, right now, there is one error report that I've gotten. I don't really understand it, but right now all I've gotten out of it is that the error is on the onPause action.

This is the stack trace for that report:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to pause activity {com.carboni.fightsongs/com.carboni.fightsongs.BIG12}: java.lang.NullPointerException

Any other help you can give me is greatly appreciated, thank you very much
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] krohnjw:
Calling pause / stop in the onPause is probably best. You can likely stop it instead of pausing it. The garbage collection should take care of freeing the resources as long as they are not in use when the Activity finishes.

This is the relevant error:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.carboni.fightsongs.BIG12.onPause(BIG12.java:159)

I am guessing this is where you are accessing the player object in the onPause() method. However for whatever reason the object is null. It's a good idea to do a null check on the object itself before operating on it.

For operations like this I'd also recommend a try / catch and logging the exception via Log.d or Log.e so that if there is an issue you can pull it from logcat. You can call Lod.d("TagName", "Error and info you want to print") as well we e.printStackTrace() assuming you've named the Exception that is caught e. This will help log info for users (or yourself) for more useful debugging info.

Essentially you want to prevent your app from crashing on non show stopper exceptions. By wrapping these operations in try/catch blocks you're able to gracefully handle the exceptions and move on with your application without FCing.

Using try/catch blocks is really cheap (from an operational perspective) for small apps like this. The catch is the most expensive part, but it will really help you to gracefully handle issues that arise and eliminate force closes.

If you're having trouble tracking down the issue I'll take a look at the source if you want to zip/rar it up and send it over.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ericcarboni:
Which operations would I wrap a try/catch around?

Thanks for all your help, I think I might send you the source code eventually if I can't figure it out.

And I have a question: why would the app work perfectly on Gingerbread but not other phones with Froyo? Just curious to why this is
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] krohnjw:
Honestly - wrap any operations that may result in an exception being thrown (within reason). Depending on your experience this may or may not be something you'll be able to see easily or not. You'll learn quite a bit by trial and error :)

Generally though if you're dealing with resources that may or may not be available (even if they should *always* be available) it doesn't hurt to wrap them in a try/catch in case an exception is thrown.

Any time you are parsing potentially invalid input and / or casting data it's good to try/catch and handle any exceptions that may creep up.

Some of the audio code (libaudio or libmedia) was changed from Froyo to Gingerbread - you're also working with potential issues from Rosie(Sense)/Touchwiz/Blur. Most of these frameworks make alterations to the subsystems in some form or another and do not always behave in the same manner as an AOSP rom 100 % of the time. You're also dealing with varying devices with varying amounts of resources and multiple services competing for these resources.

In the SDK documentation the classes themselves will show what exceptions are thrown - these are thrown to prevent the app/subsystem from crashing or getting unexpected results. It is your job as the developer to catch these exceptions and handle them.

Obviously it's wasteful to try/catch everything - there's no reason, for example, to try catch the overloaded ++ operator for an integer. If you are doing string manipulation on user input though then you should be doing some sanity checking / handling of exceptions as you may get completely unexpected and bad data.

Any time you are dealing with system resources you'll want to verify that the resource did properly get assigned and handle the exceptions that it may throw as a good practice though.

For example, when you play a media file you are counting on:

The DSP device being availble

The handle to the device being appropriately acquired

The resource to be played being present and properly allocated

The playing of this resource to be properly executed by the subsystem

If any of these things goes wrong then an exception is going to be raised by the subsystem so that it can be handled in your application. If you do not handle the exception your app crashes and you FC. If you handle it though you can deal with it as is appropriate and move on (e.g: inform the user there was an error, log the exception and move on).
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] commandos176:
ich habe das gleiche problem!!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ericcarboni:
I've been working on it; do you think using a try/catch for the exceptions that need it will solve the problem completely?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] krohnjw:
Yes, assuming you're not doing something crazy with the object or resources - your app is FC's because an exception is being raised and not handled. By catching and handling the exception (assuming there isn't an issue with the underlying code) you are able to programmatically deal with these issues.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ericcarboni:
