This is one thing that bothers me. BT A2DP has to work 100%. I don't like holding phone up to me ears...I also listen/stream music using A2DP. I wish we really know when the final release is coming out so i can really make up my mind weather to get the sensation since i can get it right now with just one phone call. I have a BlueAnt Q2 that looses sound or locks up and then the BT connection on the phone gets messed up. Only way to reconnect and get it working again is to turn off BT for about 2-3mins and the re-enable and connect OR quick way is to reboot. This Q2 works with other phone including the sensation but i did not test it for a long time since i did that in the store.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jonathan3579:
My signal is significantly worse. That's my only real complaint other than the camera app, still warmer than usual on charging, and no notable increase on battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Markmaryland:
My signal and battery are pretty good running Eb2.3.3 no TV animation though
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jonathan3579:
Well when I say worse, I guess I should specify and say that it's become erratic. All my frequently travelled areas have very different signals now - both better and worse.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sambodie:
Mine works find now, just a Jabra extreme mono headset. For calls and playing music. But I do not have a more complicated setup, stereo BT to check additional function.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsapp:
AD2P worked perfectly for me, used it all day for me. My issue was wifi was constantly disconnecting then reconnecting, over and over. So I went back to froyo because of that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluedart:
1. Better 4G to wifi switching:

4g to wifi switching is much faster compared to stock Froyo. 10secs as opposed to 40secs assuming wifi doesn't error out with me having to reboot.

2. Better Wi-fi:

In addition I don't get that annoying stuttering while downloading stuff on wifi to the point of the phone being unusable. (downloading a podcast for example) Both, the stock Froyo and stock Gingerbread were able to connected to my hidden ssid wi-fi network, but the gingerbread one finds it and locks on faster. For some reason none of CM7 or Faux123's roms were able to connected to my hidden ssid 802.11g/b networks, unless I broadcasted it, but that's a different matter.

3. Smartshare DLNA app performance is better:

For the 3 people that use this app on a daily basis, streaming now feels snappy. I can only assume that's a result of the better wi-fi performance.

4. Bland/stock camera app:

Most by now are aware that our beloved customized camera app from stock Froyo is long gone, but I'm sure the devs will rectify that soon.

5. GPS lock-on a bit slower:

Might be just me, or not, but the gps takes about 15-30secs to get a lock on. No biggie 'cause navigation/maps work just as well as stock Froyo.

6. Battery drain:

Battery is noticeably worse. It's not that stock Froyo's performance was anything great, but I was beginning to get a handle on it with Juice Defender+SetCPU and squeeze out 24hrs with very light usage or about 14hrs of normal usage. Those numbers were good enough for me, however with stock Gingerbread, I'm not able to get even 12hrs of very light usage.

All in all, I'm happy with the update. I didn't use the LG update tool but rather the pre-rooted stock Gingerbread .zip here,http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179748 Props to xboarder56 for so quickly getting it out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] randyschwimmer7:
So, this is the official update? I thought T-Mobile employees were still testing before the wide release was put out?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
So your review is not accurate since you're still using the old baseband.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikeb85:
Using the update completely stock since it was announced. I have found that the battery seems to be a little better. Gps about the same. Signal seems to be alot better. Wifi still is screwy at times. Overall is a bit quicker. This is all in my experience with it so far. And it is completely stock also and I came from stock froyo also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluedart:
Yes. To get it you have to go through the LG update tool here http://www.lg.com/us/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp This will give you the Gingerbread update without root and with the updated baseband. Here is the thread about it on Tmobile forums http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/1982?tstart=0

I'm using the zip by xboarder56 from http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1179748 It's the same update but with root and without the updated baseband. It was more convenient for me and my previous post was based on that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Phone just locked up while doing regular browsing. Wasn't doing anything crazy and it just frozen up and needed a battery pull. Back to my rock solid Sensation for now. I have the new baseband and update on it and it's still got issues. I wonder if my g2x will ever be stable? I'll be waiting for the "official" update before giving it another shot.

What BT are you using?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spunix:
Issues:

GPS Lock - Actually locks quickly

Wifi/2G/3G/4G - used to have to constantly reboot the phone to get the internet to work - now fixed

Reception - no perceived changes (was ok before)

SOD - fixed

As for some of you commenting people didn't follow the NVFLASH or following other things to a T, I can say this is NOT the case.

What I think is happening is people are having a monster hiccup with windows and USB drivers, all of a sudden my drivers were corrupted (I watched 7 try and re-install and fail) I then lost USB connection, I let my phone "idle" for 1 hour but was stuck @ 4% on the update screen, tried other steps to get to work and didn't, used KDZ and worked perfect.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] cenwesi:
You said you had it on all day. At anytime did you turn off BT and turn it back on?

PS: Could you test every hour to see if it is still connected. For example, play some music or stream a station and see if the noise comes out of the BT.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Darkseider:
It fixed reboots but now the Sleep of Death is religious after charging overnight. GPS lock on still sucks ass. Phone seems smoother overall when in use though. Still running the old baseband as well. That's about it. Ooh went from original GB leak to this one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
dude u should do a full wipe coming from that first gingerbread leak that one was horrid , the worst keyboard lag , and the only time i ever got sleep of deaths, that leak sucked balls!!!!!!! and u say u have sod on new one, idk man i would start fresh, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik install the new leak, = done, cuz this one is half decent keyboard is fast its a little faster overall and no sod, but i would suggest u try miui very awesome rom. try this u will be in heaven... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1184988 big thanx to whitehawkx, oh and ull be rooted still and get to keep july 15 baseband
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Darkseider:
Thing is I am rooted and did a full wipe after doing my backup. Then I installed the rooted version of the update provided through CWM. After the initial boot and setup was completed I charged back up to 100% and did a battery reset as well to ensure proper calibration. Issues still continue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsapp:
I turned the headphones off a couple times. Never disabled it on the phone. but I did have music on for a couple of hours and didn't notice anything. Can't test it now though as I went back to Froyo because of wifi issues
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cenwesi:
That routine works because i use to do that when i first switched to android from n900. I only discovered this problem because i got sick and tiered of turning off the headphones on/off to get/recieve calls.

Even with Froyo, it looses/locked up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bighulk666:
I'm on Xboarder's rooted GB update. Very smooth, much faster, battery life is getting better. GPS does take a bit, but far less then 2.2.2. Haven't run into any problems yet, only had it on for 1/2 day. I kind of wanted the screen off animation.

I am a complete noobie as far as rom development so this may not be possible but....

i was looking on the xda forums and saw the developer got a working of honeycomb version on the dell streak 7 which is a harmony based device also I think. any dev can maybe examine his kernel and see if it can be applied on the g tablet?

saw the Umodified Honeycomb on Kernel 2.6.36 - Updated 21/07/2011 for the adam has full hardware acceleration ..... maybe if someone can take parts of his kernel and mix it with one of ours we can get a hc kernel with full hd acceleration?

Hi Everyone,

I just bought my Dell Streak 7 wifi 2 days ago. I freakin' love it! I work from home and having a more portable device to skype/chat on if I want to move around is great.

Using the stock headphone/mic is very clear for people I talk to. I tried out the voice to text in Skype yesterday for text IM and it worked so well I was really happy.

I really lucked out as I had a $100 off Staples coupon I got through e-mail so it only cost $200.

Originally I had a Coby Kyros I had rooted and imaged but the lack of power and multi-touch really made it suck.

Happy to be here. I also have a HTC Thunderbolt as my phone.

Hoping to see an update from Dell eventually like a lot of you but if not soon I am sure I will root and image this one too.

Take care and thanks for having me.

Hi,

I recently developed my first application in android, and i want to publish it to the android market. It's a very simple application that helps to calculate the score of the Agricola game board.

I want this application be free, but also want to give the option if someone wants to donate.

Which is better? Publish a free app with ads and another one without ads (donate version with the minimum that market permits)? or publish a free and donate version without ads, and let the user choose if they want to donate for the same app?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] obewah:
While I have no experience with this I would think that if you are going to publish two versions of the app the Free+Ads and Donate-Ads combination would give individuals more incentive to donate.

If you are going to make both apps without ads why not try building a paypal donate option into the app so that you can avoid paying to publish again and other miscellaneous fees.

But again, I have no real experience with this so what do I know?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gennesys:
Hello everyone,

I've been having a really bad time with my Spring GTab in the last few days... to keep it simple:

1. Had a stock GTab that was showing problems, most of the applications were crashing (force closed), but it was still usable after a reboot. On one of those reboots it did not came up any more and got stuck at the Samsung logo.

2. After researching on the forums, tried to install 2.3.3 following this procedure:

http://androidadvices.com/how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-tab-to-stable-gingerbread-2-3-3-firmware/

Odin successfully installed the ROM, got to recovery mode and tried to factory/clear cache. Showed errors... Stuck at Samsung logo again.

3. Tried to install the stock sprint EA24 following these steps:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009926

No matter what I do, Odin stops at recovery.bin and fails.

4. Following the suggestions there I then installed nomodem EJ30 successfully, but again got stuck at samsung logo. Tried to install the EA24 from there with no luck, still failing at recovery.bin.

So as of now, I am at the same point as at the beginning, stuck at the Samsung logo...

Guys this is driving me crazy... any help will be highly appreciated!!!!!!

I thought so, but when I called HTC support they told me the wrong info and basically said that my wall charger for my HTC EVO 4G was the one for my 3D.

So:

EVO 3D as above.

The model# seems to be the same.

Dear XDA,

I am a noob developer and I am trying to create my first real android application. (outside of Hello World prompts and predetermined tutorial programs) I am looking for a bit of guidance on how to best approach my project idea. What I want to do is create a sort of personal cook book for a friend with a main menu with options that takes you to a submenu with additional options that will take you to content pages that have return home buttons.

Please keep in mind that I am still in the learning process and want to learn. Any tips, comments, or approaches would help me a lot.

I am using eclipse to program currently and heavily relying on resources like http://developer.android.com to do even the simplest things.

Thank you!

[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
Well without getting into much detail i would say that you would need to come up with a data structure to store your recipes in, make some layouts for the screens you want to display. Also try to reuse the Activity that displays the recipe. When you start that Activity you can send an Extra in the Intent to specify which recipe to display. This will make it very easy to add recipes on the fly

From something awesome
[Android Software Development] D4rKn3sSyS:
Additional to what killersnowman said, I would recommend you to study ListActivity, and also databases, so you can add recipes from app.

Also you may want take a look to shared preferences.

If you have some coding question, feel free to contact me ;)

Cheers From Colombia

[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
Depends on if you want to be able to add/edit recipes or not. If you're going to add/edit etc., you'll want to do a database. If you just want to display recipes, reading in flat files would probably be easiest.
[Android Software Development] lukemovement1:
Probable be best to use strings.XML for the recipes. And for the buttons search for information about onClickListener and intent.
[Android Software Development] iynfynity:
This might be the easiest so do this.

Easiest but not the most flexible

[Android Software Development] obewah:
Thanks! Progress Update #1

First off thank you for all of the help so far! So far I have two XML layouts (one for the intro page with a picture, dedication, and button to the main.xml and the main with buttons to different categories inside the application)

This is my first independent code (which I am oh so proud of even if it only clicks through to another XML screen-- you have no idea how long it took me to make it work correctly)

package com.android.obewah.baristame;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

public class BaristaMeActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.startup);
final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startupBU);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// Perform action on click {
setContentView(R.layout.main);};}
);}}

I am still trying to wrap my brain around how I am going to put in the recipes.

My current plan of action is to create a scroll menu that pops up when you select a category (via button on main page) that leads you to an XML of the recipe.

However this seems like it may be an unnecessarily difficult approach. I don't plan to have an option of adding recipes from the app just for it to be a reference.

Thoughts/Comments?

[Android Software Development] obewah:
Im going to change this too-

final Button startupBU = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startupBU);

to keep things ID'ed correctly
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
Might i suggest not just changing the layout in the onClickListener but calling startActivity and changing to an Activity that has that layout. This will preserve the back buttons functionality without a bunch of overriding it.

Please elaborate on how I would do that (and forgive my ignorance)

[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
this might interest you

http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/design/seamlessness.html#multiple-activities

Don't Overload a Single Activity Screen

Any application worth using will probably have several different screens. When designing the screens of your UI, be sure to make use of multiple Activity object instances.

Depending on your development background, you may interpret an Activity as similar to something like a Java Applet, in that it is the entry point for your application. However, that's not quite accurate: where an Applet subclass is the single entry point for a Java Applet, an Activity should be thought of as one of potentially several entry points to your application. The only difference between your "main" Activity and any others you might have is that the "main" one just happens to be the only one that expressed an interest in the "android.intent.action.MAIN" action in your AndroidManifest..xml file.

So, when designing your application, think of your application as a federation of Activity objects. This will make your code a lot more maintainable in the long run, and as a nice side effect also plays nicely with Android's application history and "backstack" model.

do you know any html coding? because you can use a webview to load a .html file from R.raw.file.html. i have done this with my change log on my app. also if you using strings.xml have a look at using the \n to add a new link.

Agree with killersnowman, don't overload the activity.

Have a recipe activity and layout. Make the button start the recipe activity and pass extra's (ints, strings, booleans) across in a bundle.

Here is an example on how to do it.

http://droidapp.co.uk/?p=48

Make the recipe activity read from the bundle, and then populate textviews / images etc based on them.
