How incorrect would it be? A difference of about 2-3 minutes is acceptable I'd say. I use Adhan Alarm for my praying times, but usually with such apps you could select a particular calculation method that you'd like to use.

Maybe your region uses different calculation method, might be useful if you try experimenting which method that give the praying times that's more closely resembles your local schedule.

From my experience, the app only gave wrong prayer times for regions with high latitude (such as Norway, where I live right now) and during the extreme summer/winter times.

Happy Ramadan btw!

thanks guys for the response ...

it seems to be linked with wrong time zone as it turns out that instead of +5 GMT for Islamabad in clock, i have +6 GMT ... the time for namaz is out almost by an hour. I hope HTC fixes this in an update

And Happy Ramadan everyone :D

I don't see why any of those apps should be bugged. It has to be one of the simplest functions to code, so i bet any one with any java skills at all will be able to make one that always shows the right time.

Good luck anyways:)
[Desire Themes and Apps] xath:
Thank you for the well-wishes :) It's actually quite complex to calculate, since it need to be able to simulate when the sun is at some certain position (i.e. rising, directly above the head, setting down) when seen from which and which latitude/longitude. You can say that it's some kind of mini-Stellarium.

And on top of that, there's various calculation methods that might be preferred by various school of thought, some prefer a fixed interval, some prefer a certain degrees of declination/inclination of the sun, etc. But I think nowadays there's a basic calculation library/algorithm for it, so using those kind of code libraries, it should be quite uniform. :)

[General Questions and Answers] barbarisch926:
I am trying to implement a simple system call hook. My method was the same method used by standard linux rootkits like adore. this method worked for hooking sys_open and other file IO system calls. but when i tried to hook sys_fork and other process related system calls my android phone crashes (Nexus one, Motorola Milestone, and emulator). Something inherently different about Android either ARM or android kernel is different from basic linux machines which wont allow me to use the same method to hook the system call fork. Basically my method is below, this is implemented via a LKM on a phone that i have root access on.

//save pointer to original function

orig_fork = sys_call_table[__NR_fork];

//point sys_fork to my fm_fork function

sys_call_table[__NR_fork] = my_fork;

//call original fork call (simplest case)

asmlinkage int my_fork(struct pt_regs *regs)

{

pid_t pid;

pid = (*orig_fork)(regs);

return pid;

}

Some how i think the stack is getting messed up. I looked at the source code for the kernel and found that the sys_fork isnt actually in the system call table. Instead it is a sys_fork_wrapper. This wrapper is an assembler function with two commands which lead it to branching to sys_fork. Sys_fork in turn calls another function called do_fork. Through debugging methods i was able to confirm that my call to the original fork function was returning correctly, but when i try to return the pid within my own function the crash occurs. Now whats interesting is that I was able to confirm that do_fork is called many times without calling sys_fork for many processes on the phone. So when i do the simplest process i can think of by starting up a shell the phone didnt crash. But it wont open up a shell. The terminal locks up when i try to open the shell. Starting up a shell will call a sys_fork_wrapper->sys_fork->do_fork like expected. Starting up another more complicated process such as calculator it will call sys_fork_wrapper->sys_fork->do_fork->do_fork->do_fork->do_fork.... so bacially i am left with lots of questions about why hooking sys_fork is not working.
[XPERIA X10 General] Neo121183:
Having a stupid issue with X10 deleting my contacts all the time.

Have them backed up with sony's app, but irretating to have to do it 2 times a day or so.

Dunno what's causing it. Turned off google sync too.

:confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] Neo121183:
....Bump....
[XPERIA X10 General] loggy:
Happened to me the first time I tried to use a google or sony sync, I just turned sync off and use a manual backup to sim card.

I only want a safe store for my contacts 'in the air' as it were that would be obtainable with a login and sync.

If someone could clearly explain the sync services and settings ( keeping, overwriting, deleting, from server) it would be helpfull.

I would always want my phone to be the master sync device and the service to sync to it unless I specify a reverse way so sync, or a 'run through contacts' service that gives options to keep or change details in contacts.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bigw@ve:
It's a true sync and can be difficult to get setup. If you delete contacts on phone googles dissappear and vice versa. Once you've done it the sync with google is seamless.

For a fresh start the best bet is to delete your phone contacts..then setup all your contacts manually or import them and edit in gmail, then export to a file so you have a backup if something goes wrong.

After that you would sync to google contacts and all should be well.

It always sync perfectly for me after going through and setting it all up this way initially. If I edit a contact on phone it updates on gmail like it should...and vice versa.

In settings for sync I put "My Contacts" as the only sync option, then in gmail you would mark the ones you want on phone as "My Contacts" as well. That way you don't have every email contact on your phone if you don't want too. If you want it all just select "All Contacts"
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evans_Prophet:
Hello! In view of the recent issues with apps sending sms to premium numbers I have decided to further reconsider the priviliges I grant to my apps. So I have to questions:

1. Is there any way (app or site like appbrain) that will allow me to check the permission status of all my installed apps (possibly with filters such as "show me apps that can cost me money or send personal data" and

2. Is there a way to partially block such permissions (e.g. block the apps attempt to get my fine gps location if I do not consider that necessary).

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoWa22:
"Permission Watchdog" will let you see the permissions, as far as I know, there is no way to change them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jodue:
1) android settings (applications) & market will show permissions for each app

2) if you have root you can use the app droidwall to white-/blacklist apps for internet access. other than that, not possible atm and i think it would be very hard and dirty to make a hack for it... in my humble opinion it's best to disable gps per default and only enable it if you really need it. blinds the big brother and is easier on the battery ;)

So..Does the SLCD have better direct sunlight viewing than AMOLED..and if so..Who wants to trade for my AMOLED? I work outdoors mostly and its KILLING ME!!!
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
by spec SLCD should have better high light viewing. It Also has better battery but less deep blacks HTC claims.
[Desire General] gnolihp:
Actually, you can use those antiglare screen protector and then you will be good with your Amoled. The Amoled still better than SCLD in certain sense.
[Desire General] gogol:
Is that true that SLCD has better battery life? Meaning it consumes less power.

Hell yeah! I will trade AMOLED to SLCD if that's true.

For viewing outside I simply toggle the auto-brightness :)
[Desire General] Lennyuk:
HTC and Sony claim that the SCLD has 5 times better battery life than (normal LCD) which afaik is the same or better than AMOLED.

Regarding battery life, I doubt it ... btw, battery not only for screen, it also for CPU, Ram ... hence 2-3 hour longer not very different, at least for me.

[HD2 General] G1_enthusiast:
how fast are you guys get from the tmobile internet option?

please tell me what radios you guys are using to get such good 3G speed.
[HD2 General] nomadwgk:
I curently run android on my leo and even tho i got h indicator in my area i barely can go above 1mb/s down. I didnt test it on windows tho.

I use stock tmo radio

Just did a test with a speedtest app

1.58 down

0.8 up.
[HD2 General] G1_enthusiast:
are you serious? how is it other phone can go up as far as 8MB and we can barely get 1?!
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Hold on there. First, the android builds that can run on this phone are known to get slow 3G speeds no matter what, compared to what they should be in that location. nomadwgk would get a considerably higher speed if he was testing it through winmo.

Now, your speeds don't look right, if you're in a well-covered part of the DC area. This phone can indeed get speeds all the way up to the 7.2Mb limit, I've had mine test that fast once or twice here in bursts, but I usually get around 3-5Mb avg. So, there's something preventing your phone from getting the speeds it should.

Has it always been this slow since you first got it? How many bars are you seeing when you test it? What method are you using to test the speed exactly? This info will help us troubleshoot.
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
Plus, how strong of a signal did you have? From what I gather, a 4 bar signal will outperform a 2 bar signal.
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
i don't know how you guys get such a fast connection. every time i test it using dslreports i only get about 100-130 kbs. on a 400k test. and that's on a strong 3G connection in the middle of the city.

Its says my RR Turbo gives me 339 kbit/sec 1MB test. wifi connections on android, :::checking windows::::
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
There's a couple of factors at play here...first, you'll probably want to test with another site that uses a larger test file. I recommend www.speakeasy.net/speedtest...it works in IE but not opera, but it's the best mobile test site I've found.

Second, I learned from a T-Mobile engineer recently that the HSDPA speeds are actually dynamic, and load-dependent. In other words, the higher speeds won't fully kick in until you're transferring a larger amount of data at once...otherwise you'll get regular 3G speeds (or less) while just pushing a small amount of data (like weather updates, etc). So, you may not be able to measure the full speed you can get, until you're transferring a large enough file. That site I mentioned above seems to use a big enuogh test file to get full-speed results from the network.
[HD2 General] pakistaniprince:
Same problem :(

i live in vegas by the strip so OF course its gunna be good service,

I have 4 bars on "H" some times it will change to "3g" but it will still have 4bars... and my internet speed is like not even close to a MB, i took your advice about higher file transfer so i hooked up my xbox to my internet through my phone it worked, but it was really SLOW!

how can i fix the internet speed. :(
[HD2 General] G1_enthusiast:
i'm not using android OS man i'm using the latest energy rom, you got any good radio to reccomend me? i'm using 2.12.50.02 radio and constantly getting that H instead of 3G wth :( and its about 4 H bar most of the time but sometimes 3G coming in and out.
[HD2 General] G1_enthusiast:
try ur site i'm getting .65Mbps down and .71 up
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I didn't assume you were using android, I was just letting you know his results definitely weren't indicative of what the phone is capable of.

I use the radio you'll see in my signature below, it may make a difference, I don't know...it's the only one I've ever used on this phone.

You might want to double-check these three things:

1) Go to settings (WM settings, not Sense settings), and in the "connections" folder, choose "advanced network". Make sure "Enable HSDPA/HSUPA" is selected on the first tab there.

2) Also in the connections folder, choose the "connections" icon. Choose "manage existing connections" under the "T-Mobile Data" heading. On the "Modem" tab, make sure the T-Mobile Data connection shows "epc.tmobile.com" under the "Number" header.

3) On the Proxy Settings tab there, make sure "This network uses a proxy server..." is unchecked.
[Captivate General] candymann:
I'm hoping I missed something in the settings. . . but does anyone know of a way to enable a sound/notification when a call is ended/dropped? I saw there was a connection notification option but that only "dings" when the call connects, not when it disconnects.

I was left talking on my phone for close to a minute the other day when the call had been dropped--pretty annoying.
[Captivate General] wpb2:
The Captivate does not drop calls, therefore does not require a notification alert:D

The iPhone is the only phone thats drops calls;)
[Captivate General] Tinyboss:
I missed this feature, too. I set it up pretty easily in Tasker (market app--paid, but worth five times its cost). On the "Phone Idle" event, I used a "Vibrate Pattern" action to send two quick pulses when a call ends.

Tasker is amazing.

And I have researched that error, and found that I have to update my SPL. But my SPL was already the latest (HBOOT-1.33.2005) and my Radio is (2.22.23.02)....So i don't know what was going on. I tried flashing,wiping,and re partitioning 3 more times. The second time, It booted to the bootscreen, but it wont even make it to the home screen.
