I've seen all kind of apps 'manipulating' and catching in / out going text messages so whatsapp should be perfectly capable of doing such a think. The thing is; I thought I wasn't looking for it correctly. It simply cannot be that I am the only one thinking about this with the release of iMessage. To bad I cannot code a thing like that but this could be a money bomb if whatsapp fails to take on the market.
[General Questions and Answers] Goodm7sn:
Workaround...

i came across the same thing the OP wanted , and its simply not working :confused: , whereas if long tap contact > send message > and i choose "viber" , it works perfectly... think its something whatsapp developers have to fix....

workaround....

but , if u click on the contact portrait , then u will have that pop up with all avaliable communication apps , and u click on whatsapp icon , then it will redirect u to that contact's chat window..

i know its not as convenient as setting it the default sms app , but there is nothing we can do about it but waiting for the developers of whatsapp to fix that...i attached a screenshot of it...

hope this helps....

cheers...

[Android Software Development] Honusnap:
Hi all,

I was asking myself what is the performance of the dual core, is it better at 500Mhz dual or 800Mhz single ? Do it eat much battery at 500 dual or 800 single ..?

I run some bench and here are the results :

I've not be able to find a real consistency for the cunsumption..... i've got to run more test.

Result are the same for a single core / dual core .. !!

- "Idle" : 95mA

- 500Mhz : 220mA

- 800Mhz : 330mA

Datas :

Graph : The grey bold line is the overall score.

Bars :

- SD Read and Write performance are not connected with Processor frequency nor single/dual core mode.

- CPU performance is increasing a little faster than frequency (bus speed ?)

- Database I/O only gain a little from single to dual core (500/800/1200 : 9,5%/13%/2,3%) (not multi core optimised ?)

- 3D and 2D performance are not limited by the CPU when frequency > 500Mhz.

- Overall, 500Mhz dual core is faster than 800Mhz single core (Benchmark is multi core compliant)

- Overall, 800Mhz dual core is faster than 1200Mhz single core
[Android Software Development] MisterTedster:
Would you mind placing a graph of benchmark numbers vs. power consumption for your different cpu points (dual 500, 800 single, 800 dual, 1200 single)?
[Android Software Development] Honusnap:
Problem is that cunsumption results seems inconsistant.. for the moment.
[Android Software Development] Shammyh:
Great idea. And nice start with the bench marking!
[Android Software Development] Honusnap:
Tool

I used Battery Monitor Widget to test the consumption, i've sent an email to the developers, is the kernel faulty... is it the application... is the hardware able to report a "real" consumption... ?

I'm asking around me to buy a device and mesure the current / wattage drawn... this should me the most efficient way to test the device, not needing internal device report that could be flawn by something i can't control.

They are using some small / cheap devices in the RC models world to mesure current / wattage... i will give it a try.
[Android Software Development] 3c:
50% increase ratio?

I find it interesting to see a 50% increase from single to dual core, be it the battery consumption or the overall performance score :D

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

The consumption measures depends on device. SGS2 has the chip to produce the real data, but it's deactivated. Some custom kernel devs have been able to produce the real charge data in mA, but not the drain yet.

So the app can only estimates based on % changes. mV data are for more unreliable actually (going up/down the opposite way of the % at times).

Nevertheless running 3 Antutu bench should run for quite some time and consume a few percent, so I'd say the resulting mA is getting accurate.

What would be nice is a little piece of hardware that we could plug on the battery pins and connect to the USB of the device to produce the real mA consumption, then it would provide a standard way to compare battery drain from phone to phone. ;)
[Android Software Development] Honusnap:
I've found the little hardware... it is on the way home, 'real' test in two or three weeks.. :D
[Android Software Development] 3c:
Can you post the link on where to get this piece of hardware, i'd like to get one too. ;)
[Android Software Development] Honusnap:
Hi Ced,

Excuse me for not replying to your email, the device is the "G.T. High Precision Watt Meter", i've found some review that says that it is not very precise, but certainly sufficient for the phone.

Those you are asking about is to be able to add contact shortcuts to the homescreens and calling from there.

[Android Apps and Games] crescal:
lowveld thanks for developing this for us:D

don't mean to put you down, but i think there will be countless requests about new features and AFAIK merging new features might bring the speen down... so it'll be a hard way to develop a new launcher (given that there are many counterparts in market)
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Don't worry mate:

No compromises!

I will not add stuff that brings performance down, nor will I turn this on some GoLauncher clone or such.

This is my personal vision of what a launcher should be like. Of course there's still some stuff missing that I really want to get working.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] eyahl:
Because of that you have the possibility to call numbers and read personal contacts. For me those are necessary functions :-)

@lowveld: great work, but for me it's useless without widgets. What about calendar, weather, messages, email? I know everyone is telling you what's still missing, and I don't want you to implement this right now. But did you even thought about any widgets? :-)
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
FTL - widget support

Ok guys,

This can be hard, specially when you're used to Sense, but FTL, or any other non-sense launcher, does not support Sense widgets.

So you can only use standard android widgets with this. Anything out of the market, not written specifically for a given launcher (hint, go Launcher widgets) will work.

Personally, I use Android Pro Widgets for contacts, calendar, facebook and etc, check it out, it's really good. Also, FTL supports native widget scrolling, which makes APW even better!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] eyahl:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inkanyamba:
Hardware video decoding

I suspect that the video decoding is hardware accelerated (including image blitting to the video memory/framebuffer) so that makes all that screen/image data unavailable to the operating system or, at least, to the "normal" applications. You could think of it as not even being on the screen. :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bratsaki:
Hello,

First post from me and first question!

I am interested in buying an EEE Transformer TF101 with docking station but i want to install a different OS like a linux distro with Plasma active. I heard that some modelas of the TF101 have locked BOOTLOADERS so i will not be able to change OS.

Do you know if the Asus TF101-1B141A has a locked bootloader? How can i unlock it?

Also i was thinking of buying the expensive EEE Transformer TF201 but here in Greece they sell it seperate from the docking station

What's your opinion?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna_c666:
Hey, welcome!

TF201 is still kind of buggy, but I leave it up to you to make your own decisions..but there are threads devoted to comparing the two and whether owners would rather have one or the other..

As far as the bootloader, you have to know the specific serial number of the unit, which starts with a number like this B70KAS9835

The B70 part is what you need to look at (I am going out on a limb, considering new models are Cxx that the B is likely the year or production run, and the number after is month manufactured?? I could be wrong, but B60 definitely came before B70, which came before B80, which came before C10, and so on)

If it is B60 or less, it is what is called SBK1 (secure boot key, version 1), where as B70s are hit and miss (mine is SBK1 I think, but others have had SBK2 B70s). SBK2 has not been unlocked, basically what it means is if you have SBK1 you can use a tool called NVFlash to flash the internal memory and factory restore a bricked tablet. If it is SBK2, and you brick it, you cannot use NVFlash to restore it. You can, however, still root and install alternate OS on SBK2 tabs, it is just at a risk if you brick it, it is unrecoverable (as of now, but maybe fixable in the future).

As for the versions of Linux that you can run, as far as I know ubuntu is available, though I don't know how many of it's functions are fully implemented, I imagine there has to be some limitations versus a laptop PC, as the tablet hardware is geared to run android specifically, anything outside of that is a coin toss..but since android is linux-based, it makes it pretty easy to install linux from what I understand (easy, as compared to installing it on say an ipad)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bratsaki:
thanks for the help!

So i am searching for a B70 with SBK1 in order to be sure that everything will be ok ! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bratsaki:
i found that the serial number of the model i looked to buy starts from

B80

Have i any chances to format it and install another OS ?

Must i look for a TF201 ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infazzdar:
NVFlash can not be used with B80s. You will still be able to flash roms like Revolver, but you will not be able to flash Ubuntu.

It will be alot more difficult to return to stock with a B80 than a device with a lower serial number.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bratsaki:
Hello,

I finally bought it and its Serial Number is B80KAS077058.

Is there anything i can do in order to chroot it or unlock it?

I did everything above guy said but still could not boot into xRecovery or boot loader (Back + Power, Volume Down + Power, Left + Right + Power, Volume Up + Down + Power... all did not work). Using SE Companion did not help too (it did not recognize my phone)

After costing me almost a day to find a solution, finally I found out a way to recover it

Just download FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec & a generic ROM in .ftf (not .zip) e.g: x10a_2.1update1_r2.1.a.0.435_generic.ftf (you can google to download both) and place that generic ROM in FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec/firmwares folder and open X10FlashTool application and hit the button Flash and choose that ROM... tada your bricked phone is back!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chisagitta:
it should works with both X10a & X10i... if it doesn't work, maybe PC lack of driver. Try to install ggsetup-2.2.0.10 & X10_ADB_drivers in /drivers folder first b4 you flash your phone

Or just instal SE Companion Sony_Ericsson_PC_Companion_2.02.015_Web (pls google to download) to get drivers on you PC before using FlashTool...
