On my Sensation I loved this little app, as I listen to a lot of music it turns out to be really helpful, but on the One X there is no search button nor camera button so I am kind of stuck.. any tricks or turn around to use it???

[HTC One X] twistedelegance:
Yes I know I can read I'm not stupid, but let me let you notice that:

- HOX does not have a camera button

- HOX does not have the search key

- If you use to notification pull down menu this is useless as the main utility if the app is to be able to skip tracks without quitting the app you are using even if this is full screen, and in full screen you have no notification bar.

I hope this time it is clear enough.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael.s.under:
Hey guys,

Im new to Android and have a question about SMS alternatives.

I am coming over from a jailbroken iphone and have found the stock ATT S3 messaging app to be adequate but I miss some features.

Specifically I recently had a pop up reply box that I obtained with BiteSMS. Are their any well built SMS apps or tweaks that would provide this functionality for a ICS device?

Or, please let me know if there is something I can do to improve my SMS experience by making messages quicker to reply to. I find I often miss messages and dont like opening the app to reply.

Thanks.

That'll give you the popup/reply box you're on about.

It's very customisable :)

+1 for go sms pro, it is highly customizable and best of all it is very fast when compared to others such as handcent. :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Handcent

Chomp SMS

Go SMS

Or if you just want the popup you can go with SMS Popup
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
You'll find that the only parts of the operating system you cannot change through apps is the low-level stuff including Settings and the Notification bar.

Everything else (including Launcher, Keyboard, Equalizer, Contacts, Dialer, SMS, Email, ...) is fully customizable and replacable through Apps in the App-store without having to root your device.

Usually the Apps by Go Dev (including Go SMS, Go Contacts, Go Launcher, Go Weather, ...) will bring all the features you need and plenty more while being fully themable.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
There is a status bar replacement app ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael.s.under:
Thanks for the tips guys. The Go apps may be a little bit cheesy for me, but I haven't looked through the options. I used handcent a couple years ago on an evo and it was fine. I think sms popup may be just the thing I need.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
Hello all,

I got a pleasant surprise push update today and after going online to research before attempting to update, it seems that this 06/25/12 update may very well be ICS!

Anyways,

Can anyone give some tips on flashing when you are rooted and have CWM running? Attempting the OTA update failed and I'm sure it is because upon reboot, CWM loads and the update then is "interrupted".

I'm now attempting through Kies but doesn't look promising.

Any help with this? I did do a full CWM ROM backup prior to attempting this.

Any help is appreciated...

Thanks,

Thank you for the links...very informative and should have read them first.

However, I did take the time to do some research online before attempting this update and found that those with the Skyrocket did indeed install the ICS update. The second link above has me a bit confused because it emphasizes that it is not for the Skyrocket. Don't understand...

Any updates on this I may not be aware of?

Wasted of time is right! Seriously, why send a notification when it is not eve supported? On top of that, why show update on Kies as well only to find it simply will not install?

I have a highly modified phone with GB running just fine. Big mistake tonight to try this. I guess I was a bit too curious.

Anyways,

It took some time, but got it back exactly how it was. Would still attempt an ICS install though, as long as it is from a so-called "official" release. Any suggestions for the Skyrocket?

Historically OTA is for small updates, Kies is for major updates. A lot of people here speak with so much authority with a dismissive tone on how ICS will be pushed out with OTA.

Hey guys!

I need to develop an android app for my summer project but I don't know how or where to start. I have some very basic knowledge of C++. What I want to make is a news app or something like that. The app would connect to a news website, whatever the user selects, (say xyz.com) and all the headlines and everything could be presented in a nice app layout.

Or

I want to make a very simple app that would just turn on and off the wifi, mobile data, GPS and all. A toggle app basically.

How can I make any of these?? Seriously need some help as I have to submit my project in about a week or so.

Thanks! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theInfected1:
Start by finding a reference book or site on the basics of Java.

Download the Android SDK and set up your dev environment. I recommend you use Eclipse (with ADT plugin). Guides on how to do this can be found by doing a simple web search.

Next start going through intro tutorials. Create a hello world type app.

Android app development is not that hard. There are tons of tutorials and references online. Just gotta figure out what you want to develop.

Have fun!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] btswein:
Hello all,

As you can see, I'm new here (okay, I lurked for like a year lol.)

Basically, my stock 2.3.6, unrooted AT&T Note is not forcing mobile data to turn off when I switch to Wi-Fi. Both the W-Fi and "4G" icons appear, and the "4G" icon shows that it is transferring data all the time, even though I have full Wi-Fi bars. I did a factory reset and that did nothing. Do I just need to disable data every time?

Thanks!

Im as stumped as the op. But giving an answer like that is just completly dumb. If he reset the device and still didnt fix the issue it would have to be software related or wifi related. Not a app. Duh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] docfreed:
Apps Using Data

I have noticed that the AT&T Messages App is always running (Settings>Apps>Running). It seems to me that this app must always be using data since that's the only way it can notify me that I have an SMS message - there may be other apps always running that keep data alive so that they can check for SMS, MMS or voicemail.

IDK but it makes sense to me that data must always be running on a phone since we can't get messages via WiFi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
He wanted data off. He didn't mention anything about calls and SMS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] docfreed:
Actually he wants WiFi to "force data off" - that's different than turning it off via airplane mode. I do not think you can actually force data off with WiFi - it must be turned off either manually or via airplane mode.

I want to be able to receive calls. I just don't want to be eating my 2GB's away while I'm supposedly on Wi-Fi.

This makes sense. When I originally got my Note, I wasn't using the AT&T Messaging, I was using stock Android messaging. Then I updated the AT&T app because not having all the apps up-to-date in Play bothers me. All the sudden it became the default messaging app. I uninstalled the update before the factory reset, and it automatically updated post-reset. I tried uninstalling it but it still does it.

Also, I was using Data Watchdog, uninstalled that and it still does it.

So I guess the question remains, how do I disable AT&T Messaging without rooting?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] claywd:
The last app has secured it connection via data and will continue using that data and keeping the connection open until you shut it off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] btswein:
Okay?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] claywd:
Hold home key swipe apps to close them then it should switch signal automatically

If it doesnr work wipe cache and dalvik cache and try again. If you don't know what this is private message me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I'm on the 2 gig plan too. I didn't give it a thought until now.

Can you use the task manager to see what app is holding onto the data connection after you switch to wifi? Sorry I can't give any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Woot! I got it. There is an app in the market called APN-Switch. Its a widget that kills data but still lets you get calls and SMS. I tested it and it works great. I think it forces your phone into GSM mode.

[Android General] ECrispy:
The only area I see Android tablets selling is the mid range ($150-$300) where most of the devices are heavily subsidized by the oem - tablets like Kindle Fire, Nexus 7, Nook Color etc. And Apple will soon enter this segment too.

On the high end, Apple has massive economies of scale. There is simply no way for other oem's to get the same part pricing and compete with a $499 iPad Retina or $399 iPad 2. All the Xooms, Galaxy Tab's and Transformer's have terrible sales. There will soon be a new competitor in Surface.

On the low end, there are a number of cheap Chinese tablets in the ~$100 price range which aren't really competitive.

It doesn't help that Google totally ignores tablets. The Play Store has no section for tablets, its hard to find apps, and developers have completely ignored Android tablets as well (due to low sales). Every day the situation is getting worse.
[Android General] knickerblogger:
I just googled this question

Seems like there is never going to be a large market for a mobile OS tablet.
[Android General] spunker88:
We have the Nexus tablet coming soon that will address the issue of Google not doing much for tablets. The Kindle Fire has done well even though its heavily skinned. The iPad like other Apple products are sold at a higher price/margin since people believe that paying more for a popular brand means a better experience. Android tablets will have a hard time competing if they are sold at the same price as the iPad.

If Apple made a 7" tablet they would be going against Steve Jobs, the guy who helped bring that company back from near bankruptcy in the late 90s. Apple would have a hard time making a 7" tablet for $199 if they wanted to keep their high profit margins of around 50% on the iPad. Amazon sells the Kindle Fire right near cost as a media consumption device.
[Android General] David Fishman:
Yes.

I would say yes. ICS was created for a more diverse line of products and I think consumers will react well to a well priced ICS tablet. :laugh:

I doubt that.. iPad is still you're best bet for everything you need for a good, all around tablet.. and the majority of people would choose the iPad instead..

[Android General] santhosh0123:
non standard is the issue for android tablet

samsung have proprietary ports for charging etc. Once they come up with a micro usb charger port Note tablet, definitely it will boost market.

iPad you cant copy from a camera or SD card, android you can do that .. companies are not exploiting these areas. They have to go in a similar standard phone like in mobiles. atleast 1080p etc.

There is a section on the Market for tablets...

-----------------

- Swift -, formerly known as IrishStuff09
[Android General] jonstrong:
Lots of market segments to consider, and I know I don't represent the mass market. With that in mind - I've been on the fence about getting a tablet for the past several months, and I'm finally seeing more and more instances where it would make sense for me. I've spent time with a few Android tablets and with iPads. First impressions - iPad displays are gorgeous and the UI is incredibly smooth and lag free. I tried a few Android tablets that had nice displays - just not quite as dramatically clean and crisp as the new iPad, and I also noticed some very minor stutter and hesitation as I swiped my way around the UI. Very subtle differences - but the iPads just generally felt a bit more polished.

I also found the iPad UI annoying after having been using ICS with Apex launcher on my Galaxy Nexus for 7 months. I love the flexibility of Android. If somebody gave me an iPad, I wouldn't throw it away...but I'd strongly consider selling it to get a high end Android tablet instead. Similarly -- maybe even more strongly -- I've looked at and tried numerous iPhones, but went happily with a Galaxy Nexus instead the week they became available on VzW. I'd make the same decision today. All the more reason for an Android tablet - same UI, same ecosystem, same apps, great synergy. But again - I probably represents a narrow segment of the market.

If we can really see $200 Android tablets that are smooth and well presented, I think they can definitely make a dent in the iPad market. The difference in price could be enough to sway a good chunk of the market.
[Android General] dareas:
I have big hopes for the nexus tablet. I don't know if the specs published on the web are true, but for that price the tablet is a gift lol. I'm really thinking in buying a tablet and the nexus 7 may be my choice. And if the price is good I'm sure it will cut a big slice from ipad's market share.
[Android General] yuckymucky:
I have a gtab 2 7" and it is successful for me in that it does everything I want and it was cheap. Most people that have tired it out really like the smaller size and like it, but it's not an iPad so they would never consider purchasing one. It is just the way it is for right now.

I'm not sure what it would take for an Android tab to be as successful as the iPad but I honestly don't think it will ever happen, at least in the mainstream.
[Android General] thatdefault:
ipads are cheaper than most Gtabs. For example, the new iPad costs a bit more than galaxy tab 7.7.
[Android General] GrandAdmiral:
As a Flyer owner, my only gripe is that the amount of apps available for Android tablets pale in comparison to Apple. There never seemed to be a lot available for Honeycomb. Whether that changes under the ICS tablets is yet to be seen.
[Android General] spunker88:
A lot of that has to do with the proportion of market share. Most Android devices are phones so most developers still only develop for phones. As apps are redesigned for ICS they play better with tablets I've noticed.
