I've finished more thorough testing now.

You are right. The Sense viewer zoom level quality and picture sharpness is by far the better of the three viewers. I've tried with up-to 8MB and 8MP images. A 24MB and a 26MB high resolution image fails any level of zoom on all viewers though.

Re the Gallery viewer; I don't fully understand how their heap size explanation holds across all test cases when I have 192KB ~1000x1500 JPEGs giving the same poor zoom quality even at a low zoom level.

Re JustPictures!; during testing I could not replicate any of your earlier mentioned issues leaving it all stock... until I by chance cleared the cache. Ever since, it has been slug slow loading/navigating, choppy and >2MB pics as well as high resolution pics render blurry. You can zoom in more than the Gallery viewer and retain fidelity but no where close to the acuity the Sense viewer achieves. It seems inconsistent and unstable. You can check it out, but I take this recommendation back.

I've never been able to change image while zoomed, and panning while zoomed always resets the zoom for me. Understandably, not ideal at all.

The album sort/view options are the only current advantages it holds above the Sense viewer for me.

Yup, justpictures looks ok at first and they are updating often, but it's quite messed up in some stuff deep down. If you notice, even when it has cached the images, while scrolling fast enough many still show 'working' in place of the image itself and the choppiness isn't completely gone.

The zoom interface is the last bit that makes it non-recommendable, I think they tried to do something smart there, but failed.

About stock gallery: In fact it's quite strange that heap size could restrict viewing small images correctly, nontheless it's a restriction which I guess hampers proper developement and could force developers to be lazy and just avoid to go near that limit anyway. Stock gallery is from the same guys that developed cooliris for the web and while it always looked awesome, it lacked a bit in functionality.

I think the argument on that google code thread against native stack use doesn't hold much water.
[Android Software Development] Gazos:
I was wondering whether there is such software for the android that can capture http posts before sending. i.e. like the firefox addons you can get and apps like http analyzer?

This would be really useful for testing purposes.

You can try some general traffic capture tools (Like tcpdump or airodump-ng). If You have rooted phone, check out Shark for Root (tcpdump on phone).
[Android Software Development] Gazos:
Thanks for the update but I guess what I want is real time captures (and manipulation) like its possible in Firefox using only the phone.

I currently use tcpdump to capture data but want to edit the data before its sent out.
[Android Software Development] ex87:
You can try to find/write small proxy server application and run it on phone, so you will be in control.
[Android Software Development] pez252:
Or you could run paros (http://sourceforge.net/projects/paros/files/) on a machine on your network and get the android browser to use it as the proxy (which looks like a bit of a task in it's self.)
[Android Software Development] bitbang3r:
The only viable way I can think of to do this (given Android's insane lack of proxy support) is to hack a custom firmware for a Linksys WRT54g so it basically routes everything to a transparent proxy (Fiddler2, Webscarab, Paros, Burp, etc) running on a PC. Something like this:

Android =[wi-fi]=> WRT54g -[ethernet]-> PC with proxy -> internet router

It might even be possible to achieve this without hacking the WRT54g.

The only problem you might still have (not sure) is Android's handling of invalid SSL certs since the proxy would basically be doing a man in the middle attack, and the app running on the Android phone would see an invalid SSL cert.

Be warned that trying this with a Windows host PC is almost guaranteed to fail unless it's Pro/Ultimate, and in any case this is going to involve some seriously hardcore manual routing config that goes beyond anything Windows' config screens were really intended to set up.

I'm pretty sure I saw this discussed on the android.security list, and the consensus was that the current API doesn't give any way to do this transparently, and it's questionable whether you could even implement something like WebScarab natively on Android using the NDK. I believe the general consensus was that if you want to host something like WebScarab on Android, it's going to take a custom kernel to pull it off, and some solution that lets you offload the actual proxying to a regular PC would be infinitely easier to pull off, and less cumbersome to use for actual security testing (it's enough of a pain trying to use Fiddler2 or Webscarab with a 1280x1024 display, let alone 854x480... not to mention trying to cut and paste examples into Word Documents for vulnerability assessment reports (shudder)).
[Android Software Development] bitbang3r:
^^^ OMG. I just installed AOSP ("Buufed") for the CDMA Hero, and it actually HAS the ability to set proxy for WiFi. I haven't tried it yet, and I'm not sure whether it's purely an "AOSP" feature or something I've just overlooked up to now that was in DamageControl, but it looks like at least *some* Android builds DO have it now :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyFoool:
Why is this happening?

This happens on my desktop. On my laptop, it doesn't even recognize my phone at all when opening up for sync. but if you go and mount the disk drive, it will be there.

I'm fairly certain its a drivers issue but what am i suppose to do?

I'm running windows 7 64bit on my desktop.

I fixed the laptop issue.
[HD2 General] nickc78:
The issue I have is that I live in an area with minimal mobile coverage so have to rely on wi-fi connection when at home. Just today my HD2 has started acting up with an issue that I have experienced previously. When I try to update weather, stocks and other apps that require connectivity I get the error message about the dial-up modem being disconnected - the cause is fine as I have no signal but I don't understand why these apps are not swapping to the wi-fi connection. Browsing the internet is fine as is the YouTube app but all others (including email) are failing as they are trying to dial-up.

I have done some experimenting with mixed results:

1) If the phone radio is off (aerial followed by an x) - then the phone will fallback to wi-fi and applications that require connectivity seem to work.

2) If the phone radio is on and it is trying to find a signal (aerial with 3 dots cycling) then it will not issue the dial-up disconnected error - instead it will try to connect but then either time out (for apps like Omarket and Sky Mobile) or will work with mixed results (stocks and weather - although it only updates locations other than my location).

3) If the phone radio is on but there is no signal (aerial followed by exclamation mark) - then I get the dial-up disconnected error on apps that require connectivity (with the exception of Opera and YouTube).

Does anyone have any thoughts on what causes these inconsistencies and if there is a way to resolve them? When I had this issue before I did a hard reset which seemed to do the trick although with hindsight I am not entirely convinced whether it made any difference - especially if Apple's excuse for their iphone4 signal issue is to be believed (i.e. at times I could have a signal even though the phone is indicating that I do not have one).

I presume in the real world i.e. one where one has decent mobile coverage - this issue is unlikely to occur or certainly less obvious to spot
[HD2 General] tarkboffin:
Hey,

If you set up your dial-up connection as part of your WiFi connection ( ISP or Work) and then set "programs that automatically connect to the internet" to the WiFi connection the automatic program will no longer try and connect if you are connected by WiFi.

go to settings-menu-all settings-connections-connections and add a new modem connection to your Work network. You need to get the settings from your service provider or copy them from the existing data connection.

once done, got to advanced and select networks and choose the work connection for programs that automatically connect.

that should help

[HD2 General] nickc78:
So in short I would have a single config that contains both the wifi and mobile settings as opposed to the two separate configs that I have at present. I will give that a crack and see what happens.

Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nbetcher:
Over the past few months since 'Grocery iQ' has been out, I have been trying to install it. Despite trying it on several different ROMs on my old G1 and now several different ROMs on my Slide (including now Froyo) it seems that it doesn't like to install. From my experience it is the biggest direct-download from the Market that I have come across weighing in at 8.01MB - by 'direct-download' I mean that the application itself is downloaded entirely from the Market and the size I reference isn't from 'additional' files downloaded to the SD card after running the program.

Everytime I try to install it the system just says 'Installation Unsuccessful' and one time I got an error code: -18 (on Eugene's Froyo Kanged RC1). Fortunately I'm fluent enough with the device to have my SDK setup and I grabbed a logcat from the adb server. Using what debugging mind-set I've had from coding I was able to find the problem is:

D/VoldCmdListener( 122): asec list
I/PackageHelper( 1703): Size of container 10 MB 8401843 bytes
D/VoldCmdListener( 122): asec create smdl2tmp1 10 fat {} 10010
E/Vold ( 122): ASEC file '/mnt/secure/asec/smdl2tmp1.asec' currently exists - destroy it first! (No such file or directory)
W/Vold ( 122): Returning OperationFailed - no handler for errno 98
E/PackageHelper( 1703): Failed to create secure container smdl2tmp1
E/DefContainer( 1703): Failed to create container smdl2tmp1

What exactly is happening here? It almost looks like it's trying to create a secure environment for the install or the program uses copy-protection. Can someone please elaborate on this - hopefully a dev?

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] TakoLuffer:
Im not a dev but i think its a copy-protection because some copy-protected apps dont install correctly for me from the market/through backup/ but they tend to work when i get it off a site :o hope this helps or the app has a problem itself, some apps do.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nbetcher:
It's strange that they would copy-protect a free application, but not much surprises me now-days, lol.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ghiatti1:
I was on holiday last week and used my HTC Magic 32b for navigation with a universal car charger. I noticed the battery was not charging so I disconnected the phone. Now the phone does not charge the battery any more and all leds are off. I have tested the battery, bought a new one and tested the USB charger and they are OK. It seems the phone is simply not charging the battery and gets very hot. The phone starts with an externally charged battery, but I have the impression the battery discharges quickly. Any idea what I can do myself?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Check the battery contacts.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xsictransitx:
I have the exact same issue, I can't get it to charge at all, the contacts look like they are fine so I don't know what else to do. It won't charge or turn on even when directly plugged in anymore with the battery in, and when the battery finally says it is charged, it depletes in maybe an hour.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ghiatti1:
Same with mine. No LEDs, battery does not charge, not even a new one. And it discharges quickly. Maybe there's a shortcircuit somewhere caused by a defective car charger.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Alright, just went through the process of switching my phone to use EVRC-B and then Voice 13k. I also changed the ACCOLC to 2, and set EVRC-B to Enable.

After I did that, I found out that audio streaming apps (Shoutcast via XiiaLive, and Pandora) were no longer working. XiiaLive would connect, buffer, and then say connection dropped. Pandora just sat there, acting ready to play music, but when I pressed play, nothing happened.

I then tried iHeartRadio, Retro Radio, Cherry Rplayer, StreamFurious, and YouTube. None of them but YouTube worked either. I changed my settings back (EVRC, EVRC-B disabled, ACCOLC to 5) and rebooted multiple times. Still getting the same issue!

Just want to know if anyone's had this problem and knows of a solution before I do a data wipe.

EDIT: Just to confirm, everything works over WiFi. This is JUST with 3G cell connection (I have no 4G to test). Also, I do not believe it's a network issue, as I can listen to some of the same channels on my laptop (DI.fm/SKY.fm for example), and Sprint's pulling down web browsing and YouTube just fine.

Anyone....?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
I found a solution and put it in the EVRC-B thread. Basically, just opening the EPST program causes this. So if you're going to change the settings, you have to do a nandroid backup, change the settings, and restore. So far there's just no way around this bug since Sprint/HTC doesn't care about providing fixes our support to modders or anyone who uses non-default settings/software, even if it's software they gave you.

--Swyped from my EVO using XDA App.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hd54321:
Wow, this is awesome and applies to my case. Indeed, I accessed EPST to change my Slot Cycle Index every time I flashed so I guess that could have caused the issue.

I spent the better part of yesterday trying to figure this out. I did a backup of all my apps and data via Titanium Backup. Wiped the rom, cache, dalvik cache, reflashed DC, and then ran the restore in Titanium Backup. As each app was reinstalling, I would test the streaming radio. All the apps restored and streaming was still working over 3G. However, as soon as the system data was restored (the last step in the Titanium Backup restore process) and I restarted the system, streaming stopped working over 3G. So I figured it must be some random system setting that is restored and must be causing this.

I repeated the whole procedure again (e.g., backup, wipe, re-flash, restore, etc.). However, this time I backed-up and restored apps via Titanium Backup (no system data) and I used MyBackup to back-up and restore SMS, Call log, and dictionary. Using this method, streaming over 3G is now working.

I'll run a nandroid backup now so I won't run into this issue again. Thanks again for posting back here and closing the loop!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
Thought I would add to this. As usual, nothing is consistent. I was just in the data menu changing a bunch of things (EVRC-B, SLC, ACCOLC, and WiMax settings). Rebooted after changes and everything is working great. Streaming Pandora no problem, and the wimax changes fixed the ping-ponging connection.

Thats right, just loaded it up after rooting this bad boy and it is working just fine!

I am not responsible if you brick your device in the process. :)

UPDATE!

Ok so here is what is needed to run this badboy without problems.

Use only the conservative option (least problematic and no sleep comas)

I dont use the widget, i already know the speeds i set it at.

The settings stick even after a reboot, but when you click on the setcpu icon they revert back and you lose your settings. If that happens just go back and click on detect auto speeds and set up your speeds again.

Happy clocking!

edit: setting it to nexus one/snapdragon Qsd it clocks to 1ghz exact. not really sure it's working though
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] richse:
To see if it's working set it to underclock and then get into an adb shell and run the command: cat /proc/cpuinfo

It should display cpu data that includes the current clock speed.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Bschwartz40:
I don't know if this helps but when I was in the Quadrant Standard app it has the system info. I hit it, scrolled down to cpu and it said

Current: 400 mhz, Max: 1000 mhz, Min: 100 mhz,

and I just checked it now and it said my current clock was 800 mhz, so i guess the cpu scales dynamically based on what the load is and what we are doing, thats a pretty great power saving feature.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MINUS Stl:
Select 'Auto Detect'.

I believe you need an oc'd kernal to be able to move the slider past 1ghz.

Also, the dev has stated that it should be set to 'conservative', not 'ondemand'. 'Ondemand' was causing random shutdowns on the Galaxy S.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Koblek:
I installed SetCPU on my Vibrant too but removed it because it appears that it caused the phone to power off.

Does there need to be device specific support for a processor/device or does the auto-detect work on any processor?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MINUS Stl:
Look at the post before yours.......from me.

SetCPU needs to be set to 'conservative' on the Vibrant, not 'ondemand'. Also, per the dev in the "Random shutdowns?" thread: "You can "simulate" ondemand by changing freq step in Advanced to 100%"

Update to 2.0.2 Causing Phone Restart!

Just got an up date to setcpu I previously had the ability to set up to 1ghz on my Sammy Vibe, but now can only do 528mhz. What the Hell? I did click the auto sense speeds button. If this is how it stays I will have to stop using this app. I did love it on my g1, but i want to see how far I can push past 1 ghz or at least force it to stay at higher clock rates. I was seeing some improvement just keeping it at the higher rates. I will try to roll back to a previously backed up version for now.

to top it off setcpu crashed the whole phone and I had to restart. Be careful with the new update.

Roll back to version 2.01 fixed my issues. I'll be staying here till 2.0.3 is offered. Something is amiss with 2.02
