Well, actually making phone calls should never prompt for elevated permissions as far as I am concerned.

In the case mentioned above a game has an add on functionality which doesn't play nice, so even prompting on installation (which WinMo 6.5 does), doesn't help matters.

The CLR incorporates a pretty sophisticated permission management but it's terrible to deal with it, even if as a programmer you know what things are about - pushing it onto the end user of a phone in my opinion would be a pretty bad idea.

Cases like this one are exactlly why the way Microsoft intends to deal with software, is a great idea for a default behavior - although I would like to be able to sideload applications.

But honestly, if people could sideload at all, they would activate it in masses, if even for one dumb farting app, outside the marketplace that everyone thought was cool. I'm not talking about devs or Power Users but about people using Google to find: how to get app xyz working.

Pretty soon a situation would arise like the one we could see some weeks ago, when a virus infested lots of jailbroken iPhones in Australia. The problem was that simply after jail break, most didn't change the administrator password of the phone, allowing telnet connections from the phone network.

I don't like the situation that arises with WP7 and I really hope we will get access to APIs for doing actual phone calls, accessing the PIM data, etc. but yes: sandboxing with reduced permission sets without elevation is the way to go when MS tries to change the way WinMo is perceived by many: unstable and easily compromised.

Please copy / paste / timetravel / this conversation back to 1975, to a non-suspecting group of consumers, along with the PDA and tell them this is how we go about calling eachother in 2010. Sandboxed AntiTrojan/Virus Administrative Rights Calling Application Programming Interface and some more of that.

For sure they will protest and kling-on to the old round dialer disk phones.

/end of topic

It''s about control. As many other said and Microsoft implicated, they need more control over the brand/expierence.

In the early months of 2002 you could take your Compaq Ipaq 3870 and hook it up to a Bluetooth GPS, a Bluetooth Phone with GPRS, and have navigation- and web based realtime GPS Tracking software running at the same time.

That is 7 years back. Making that work took 5 minutes (manually configuring COMport splitter).

I sincelery hope that developers will get access to the system at a level that makes the above possible.

I have been tethering my T-mobile phone with my laptop for years now and hve never been asked to pay an additional fee. Remain under the 3GB limit and I think you should be okay. Not had a chance to use the 'internet sharing' option on my Desire yet.
[Desire General] danr55:
Thanks I will give it a try. I currently have a voda mobile internet dongle which I pay £15 a month for which is now out of contract which I hardly use, and it only gets a 2G signal the place where I use it quite often, where I know t-mobile has a 3G signal, so if I could ditch it, it would be great!
[Desire General] clough99:
Once the Desire's drivers and HTC sync were loaded on my laptop the tethtering was easy - once you plug in the desire it comes up with a menu of options for the usb connection - just select the sharing option - then on the laptop just pick the mobile connection and off you go.

Like the previous poster I've been tehering on Tmobile for years and not had any charge for it .
[Desire General] davehodgkinson:
I've also tethered on my Touch HD on t-mobile for the last 2 years, fairly heavy usage (though not above the allowance) and never had any problems or charges.

Is the same tethering possible via bluetooth?

Thanks,

Hi !

I hope anyone can help me.

What i have is a 32A with new radio and flashed with Cursorsense latest rom. I have also tried alot of other roms with 2.1 android, etc etc.

My bluetooth is all messed up, i can't go more than 20-30cm from my phone and then the signal starts to fade. I've tried with a new Sony Ericsson headset, same problem, and now i have a expensive Jabra BT3030 and still have the problems.

The headset works perfect on a iphone, laptop etc, but on my Htc Magic, big problem.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hello, and sorry for my english, i have the similar issue, when i put the phone on my ear the screen continue on, only in a few second appear lock the screen. I have another issue: the ambient senson, in darkness and sun light the automatic brightness doesn't change the bright of the screen, only when i enter to the brightness settings and change the bright automatic off and on go right, i believe that is problem of the firmware, my firmware version is the spanish vodafone version. Can i change to the generic firmware via Sonyericsson Update Service software??
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shvyue:
I don't think the proximity sensor would switch off your screen instantly. It will ignore all touches to the screen so you wouldn't touch something by mistake. The screen will be off later. Can test it with your fingers on the sensor during a call.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flamso:
I did that. If the sensor is blocked with my finger or ear the touch can't be used. But the screen turns off quite a bit later than that. I think it's the same screen off settings that you use normally when the phone is unlocked and you don't lock it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ny88:
I've notice that my sensor doesn't seem to work. Under the brightness option if I check the "Adjust automatically" the screen still does not adjust the brightness. Also noticed the screen goes dark a minute in on a call, when I move it from my head it does not go bright. Sometime I have to unlock screen if call is longer than a few minutes.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiwi45:
Yep normally proximity sensors (on Nokia, iPhones..etc) turn off the screen immediately when ur face is close. Some examples:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vin87:
The Proximity sensor works fine. However it works differently from what you would expect:

-When making a phone call the sensor detects your big head and locks the screen (put your finger near the sensor to try it, you won't be able to push any buttons on the screen).

-It only locks the screen. The screen turns off after some time.

-When the screen is off during a call and you remove your head (or finger) from the sensor the display turns on again.

Works fine for me! Don't kill SE because they do it differently then other manufactures, it works just fine.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drfjeld:
Well I wish I could disable the proximity sensor right now.

I am trying to make a call without my big head bloking the proximity sensor, as I need to dial a number get trough the switchboard. (right now its lying flat on my desk while I am dialing.. So no head at all, just roof)

and the screen is still locked so I cant press the number 1.

The strange thing it worked when I called SE support, but it doesnt work now.

But right now when I need it, it does not work.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vin87:
That is indeed strange. I've just tested it several times:

Make a call> Let the screen turn off>remove from my big head>screen turns on >screen is unlocked and I can acces the 'dialer'.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drfjeld:
Well as I wrote, sometimes I can do it sometimes I can't.

I will try to clean the proximity sensor (right side of the Sony Ericsson logo)

the next time it happens. Maybe its to over sensitive.

Right now it works to the same number I was trying earlier..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ny88:
Is it right to assume that the auto brightness is controlled by the proximity sensor. When I change my screen brightness to auto. It goes dull and stays dull.

"Who Should Read This Book?

The only requirement is a basic understanding of programming in Java

or a similar object-oriented language (C# will do in a pinch). You don’t

need any prior experience developing software for mobile devices. In

fact, if you do, it’s probably best if you try to forget that experience.

Android is so different that it’s good to start with an open mind."

I'm a reasonably experienced self taught C programmer who's since taken a few software engineering related classes including Java, but I still have no practical experience with OO or Java & none at all with Android. I looked at the Android books available & decided despite a tight budget I'd really need something to cover Java in addition, but then I do like material to be comprehensive.

I've recently picked up Thinking in Java by Bruce Eckel & Professional Android 2 Application Development by Reto Meier (on your list). So far they both look very readable & I'm happy with my choices, but then likes vary a lot depending on one's learning style.

I've also not had them for long so can't offer any deeper comment. Perhaps it would be a good idea to post back in six months, after you've made your choices, to give a thumbs up or down then. Not that that helps you much right now ;)

Unlocking Android

There are a number of good Android programming books. I am one of the authors of Unlocking Android from Manning. We are working on an updated version to cover 2.x specific features.

The books by Mark Murphy are pretty good as well as Wrox's. I believe Chris Haseman's book came out very early and is largely out of date.

Our book is geared towards an experienced Java developer -- if you don't know Java, I would start there. Our approach is to go a little out of the box and cover things that you won't simply find by reading the SDK documents.

Also, I have some Android articles over at Linux Magazine that may be of some interest to you. linux-mag dot com. { Apparently I cannot post a link as a newly registered user }
