[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddd:
Hey guyz, im new to android world so id like to introduce myself shreddd ... im a software developper so as soon as i get confortable with android i will be developpin some apps . (android sdk is already installed on my eclipse hehe)

Alright so there is my situation.

I have a captivate i896 just rooted it the hard way. Ive search the forum a bit and im going to put cog froyo on my phone. My question is : Ive read about lag fixes specially voodoo lag fixes wich seems efficient and i was wondering if i should install that lag fix before or after flashing to froyo 2.0 ?

Since froyo rom could overwrite everything it could be useless to install the fix before , but since this fix it format the sdcard it could be usefull... anyway you tell me hehe :)

If I am not mistaken the latest cognition has voodoo built in, it will install automatically.

When I hit Odin 'start' key I get error 'Check Image Files' on the PC and nothing else happens. What am I doing wrong? (Trying to flash latest Voodoo edition in 'PDA.'

Oh my goodness, there are just SO many Gingerbread threads. I do know what I would do if I see another thread about Gingerbread. Do you agree?
[Nexus One General] cymru:
I dunno whether you thought this was funny or not..... it wasn't
[Nexus One General] daijizai:
Nope... My point was to call to attention how annoying it is for everyone else when people complain about all the Gingerbread threads. Don't visit the thread if you don't want to read the thread, but for people that do, or think they do, reading through a dozen 'OMG FFFFFUUUUUU' comments is quite irritating.

[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
...and yet you don't seem to understand how annoying it is for everyone else, who came here to try and find information, but struggle because of how many threads there are on the same subject?

The rules say search before starting a new thread. They say that for a reason (to keep down the clutter).

The purpose of forums is to encourage discussions with people of common interests, in a common location. Starting a new thread goes completely against this concept, since you now have to go to multiple locations... Monitoring multiple threads for news on Gingerbread (or anything else) is a PIA.

The whole board is full of people asking the same stuff over and over again. It's not because they don't know how to search. It's because there's just way too many threads on the same subject, making searching a nightmare. Not only is information dispersed, you also have a much higher potential for conflicting information...

As a Sr Systems Engineer, I would've thought you'd understand about duplication of information being being a major obstacle in configuration management?

Thanks for helping, though... :sarcasm:

Oh wow, you're such a mellow, free spirit with such wit and charm.

Ian using eugenes Froro the macnut r10. And I can't get into recovery mode, download mode, I can't use rom manager anymore... does anybody know how to fix this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
did you flash anything else after the rom?

How long have you been running the rom, with no problem?

if you type "su" (no quotes) in terminal emulator does it return a "#"?

If you use an app like quick boot does it allow you to go to recovery *most likely stock recovery*?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnyzilker:
Quick boot doesn't do anything it just goes to the vibrant screen and stays there untill I pull the batery out. And then I have to wait for about and hour to be able to get my phone past the vibrant screen.

Ive been using this rom for 4 days now. After I flashed this rom I flashed a kernel from eugene one tht said tht it will give me good batery life. And ever since I flashed tht kernel I am having this problem.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnyzilker:
Besides this recovery mode and download problem, I am also having a lot of drop calls. Like it will drop the call a few minutes after I make a call, not always though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
i would PM Eugene and inquire about the kernel then. Do you still have root?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronnyzilker:
Yes I still have root.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkd2398:
So I flashed my phone last night with caulkins new rom, and can't figure out how to get the best battery life out of it. It has been unplugged for about two hours and I'm down to 75 percent with lite usage. Also where I'm at the cell service isn't the best, so I'm sure that is playing part of it. Thanks and I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong spot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJStephens:
Give it a day or two. I noticed that when using the kernel he included that if I let it drain down and then recharged it that it seemed to get battery life after a day or two. Also, try other kernels. All kernels to different things better than others. You just need do some trial and error and see which one gives you the best life for your needs.
[Android Software Development] sjdean:
Hi,

I have been trying to get to grips with Android.

First off I guess, any good books you can recommend? I have Hello, Android which has some good examples, but some of the things leave me a little cold in that it seems overly simplistic and then seems to fail to pick up on some latter crucial points, not least about creating custom adapters.

Anyhow, back to the questions.

Firstly, various devices, like the Samsung Galaxy S uses a "blue" summary line in its settings menus. Looks good. But if you want to mimic that style outside of a summary menu, is it possible to get details of system colours?

Secondly, in terms of icon design, tab icons in as defined in the Android SDK seem to suggest using a Grey icon for off and a white icon for on. This seems to bit a bit foolish when the tabs are white.... and most of the other programs I've seen that use tabs have Grey icons for on and white icons for off! Thoughts?

Third, back to this book, one of the examples it gives, is a way to load data from a SQL database using Cursors and SimpleAdapters. Im guessing if I want anything more than a relatively simple list and data pulled from the database, that Im going to need to use a CustomAdapter.

In terms of these cursors though, some of the code does this in the onCreate:

Cursor cursor
CustomDatabaseHelper test = new CustomDatabaseHelper(this);
try {
cursor = getData();
showData(cursor);
} finally {
test.close();
}

I think I found a couple of problems with that... The CustomDatabaseHelper and Cursor are both local to the onClick method and therefore if I need to access these via a Buttons onClick Im stuffed unless I make them private/public to the class. I don't know the best way around this TBH, what would you suggest? I guess I could define another CustomDatabaseHelper in the onClick method, but Im not sure whether it is a good idea to keep opening all these references.

Plus as well in onClick, you can't give a context of "this" because it's it's not a context there its an OnClickListener?

btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
}
}

And there must be a better way of refreshing the data set? I've tried cursor.notify, test.notify and globalising the adapter and doing adapter.notifyDataSetChanged(); things still don't refresh.

Im going to guess this is a pretty basic and common issue for newcomers trying to understand this that super context intent.

I think Im getting there, Im just trying to get a bit of background to a few of the basic issues Im having a bit of trouble with and find out what the best way to handle the issues are.

Oh, the showData function (which I call after any data change at the moment), does this:

SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.test_item, cursor, Columns, TO);

I think that'll do for now, as my next issues are about SQL, Dates and Formatting.

Thanks

Simon
[Android Software Development] sjdean:
I think my problem stems around this book of mine... I can do a "notifyDataSetChanged()" on the adapter provided I don't do the "test.close" as above.

This suggests to me the DB Helper should be open across the activity lifetime.

Is that right?
[Android Software Development] sjdean:
Im using the java.sql.Date function to generate a Date from a DatePicker. Im having to take off 1900 from the Year after before the Date is generated for some odd reason, but never mind. I presume it's based on years AFTER 1900 and expecting a two digit date to be passed. I wonder how that'll work with the 1800's...

Anyhoo, I've seen the recommendations to use "Calendar" instead, but what I haven't quite figured out, is how you then get the date from the Calendar to format it in a variety of styles.

The simplest thing seems to be

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
StringDate = sdf.format(date);

Or where I want to format a Date according to the System Locale:

java.text.DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateFormat(context);
StringDate = df.getDateInstance().format(Date.valueOf(date));

Are these all the correct ways of formatting dates, or should I be using Calendar?

Thanks

Simon
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HTCOmnipotent:
Hey everyone,

I'm having slight problems on my Bangsters V1.5 CM6 on HD2.

Some time after starting up the phone, I can't seem to start the speech to text app (to search, call, text or whatever), it just remains on "loading" phase with the rotating circle loading thingy, and stays that way until I kill the app.

What can I do?

P.S. (not very related but...) If I flashed a new rom/radio, will a HARD RESET roll me back to the original ROM I had?

Thanks in advance! Dor.

It takes every music that you tell it too and allow you to listen to it anywhere while your computer is on and connected to the internet

edna is good but it always cut out half way through songs, even when I was on same wifi my server is on. edna dot sorceforge dot com I think.

now I use gnump3d. Very easy to setup and run as a service at boot. streams over http so you browse your library with your phone browser and it generates an m3u playlist when you click a song, or you can play all songs in a directory. browser opens up whatever ur music player is for steaming. Lets you require a password for base dir, all dirs, or none. Personally I don't use a pw just run it on an uncommon port and block all traffic other than my phone's ip with iptables or another firewall.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] snuphy:
Great work!

By far the best interface out there... Impressive web application as well. Easily one of my favorite apps and I've only been using it for about 10 minutes.
