[Android Software Development] rkmFL:
We currently have an app that runs on an Android phones, for a small company of property appraisers. It includes a map of properties, a property information form, and a camera.

It works great, although the display is too small for effective mapping. For that reason, we've purchased Viewsonic gTablets and we've built the map feature onto those, leaving the Android phone to handle the camera and property input.

The problem? How to get the two talking!

Originally we built a bluetooth app to allow the two to exchange simple data. That works fine; however, we run into one problem: using the Google Maps API requires Internet connectivity (the gTablet has no Internet connectivity, as is).

The problem is that I'd prefer not to rely on wifi (which would require the phone to offer the tether, and the gTablet to run wifi at all times). Bluetooth is much more controllable.

I thought I would propose the question to the experts here. How would you handle an application written over two Androids, where one (the tablet) needs to proxy the map-requests through the other (the phone)?

Thank you in advance for ANY ideas!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c3p9:
I just installed Froyo on my Brazilian SGS (I9000B - the one with Digital TV).

It's a 2.2 JPA installation.

After installing the device became buggy and laggy so I have a couple of questions:

1) I've read that hard resetting might solve some problems. Can I use the internal backup/restore function? I've read it backs up both the app and it's settings. I've tried Titanium Backup but it's rather complex and I ended up loosing everything.

2) Is One Click Lag Fix useful? I've installed it but the device is still laggy.

3) I've read a lot of good things about VooDoo but it seems there is some kernel update involved. What is the difference between a ROM and a Kernel update. Wouldn't it mess up my phone since it's a I9000B with the digital tv?

Where can I find a JPA Kernel? Or can I update to JU?

4) I've having problems with: swype (force closing sometimes) and wifi (cannot connect to WPA enabled belkin router...

Sorry for bothering with so many questions. Generally I used to answer more but my free time is now to support my little daughter.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Hello folks. I have been looking for something very specific and have not been able to find it. I would like to assign a volume control to certain contacts regardless of the sound profile. For example: I go to bed and place my phone in silent mode. I would like to be able to have my wife and son get through though and ring on high. Because i work shift work, i sleep at odd times. If someone knows of an app like this or can make it, i would be very interested to hear about it.

Thanks in advance. I am currently running myn 4.

id just like to see an overall volume hack for the evo.
[EVO 4G General] Dante_l1:
Take a look at Tasker. At first glance it appears a bit on the pricey side but it will allow you do this and more. I think I got a 2 week trial from their website before I bought. I don't think that there was a trial in the market.

I will warn you that the app has a bit a learning curve but it is worth the aggravation and cost.
[EVO 4G General] mknox999:
Profile and Profile whitelist on the market, works like the BB proflies. I love it.
[EVO 4G General] OnDutyTactical:
Thanks for the replies. I will try both and see which one works best for what I need.
[EVO 4G General] OnDutyTactical:
Tasker it is. This program is amazing. You are correct about the learning curve though. It is quite steep. Someone has put a LOT of thought and effort into this app, but it is well worth the $$ they are asking if you actually use the functionality. I am reading FAQs and WiKi's now.

I have solved my problem with the priority ringthrough though. My wife, and any others I choose, can now ring through to me when my phone is set to silent. Thanks for turning me on to this app.

Robert
[EVO 4G General] Dante_l1:
Thanks for the feedback. I don't post much so I am glad it helped.
[EVO 4G General] PorscheGuy:
Actually a new app called WhoIsIt does exactly what you're looking for. It was written by someone here on XDA, but sadly I don't remember who. I haven't tried it myself as I don't have a use for it, but all of the Android blogs were raving about it a couple of weeks ago.
[HD7 General] pistol44:
Hey gang,

New to the Zune world and played through most of the features but maybe I missed this one. Wondering if there is a backup feature similiar to those people with their iPhones.

Is there a way to backup my entire phone to either restore it to another time? And similarly if I was to either replace my HD7 with another HD7 or say another WP7 device could I restore it without any issues?
[HD7 General] zeka1974:
There's no need to do this.

Just use your Live ID when you make an hard-reset or buy another HD7 for example, after connection to Zune you will get all things that you had before (programs, games, contacts)
[HD7 General] pistol44:
Really?? Zune will remember all the games or apps I purchased or installed, photos, videos and music I synced?

If so that's amazing. Good to know in case I switch devices. But you should be able to manage this feature somehow incase you're someone that wants to start over from scratch.
[HD7 General] zeka1974:
Yes.

Try one thing, connect your phone to PC and when Zune opens go to the right top corner and enter Definitions/Account/Buying Story.

You will see all the programs and games that you installed until today.

The only thing "bad", I don't know how to eliminate it's that if you install a program and then uninstall it, he remains in this "memory"
[HD7 General] issab99:
did Zune remember all contacts informathion and pictures ??

i sync my contacts with live account

thanks
[HD7 General] tsujay:
Zune actually is not too bad.

contact backup is ok.

but does anyone know about sms backup ?

i couldn't find any apps about backup sms on marketplace.

thanks

[HD7 General] oscar2010:
as far as i know is it not (yet) possible to backup sms messages with the zune software or any third party app :confused:
[HD7 General] inconceeeivable:
You should post a WTT/WTB notice in the Marketplace.
[HD7 General] world1970:
because it's a 'history' of your purchasing not current apps you have.
[HD7 General] laigdotcom:
ye it's possible
[HD7 General] cmiuc:
It really begs an answer, "Why hasn't MS put out at least an answer as why, we cannot back up our phones and why we can't save our sms's? It really needs an answer... Even to this day, HTC still puts up on their website that you should seek an answer on Marketplace for a "3rd party application"...

Now that Mango is out, the 550 or whatever updates seem pretty useless and really unnoticeable in any kind of "wonderful update".. as been pushed for months.

An why no 3rd party app? I am really amazed why no one has come up with a solution.. a priceless product should have more abilities then sitting on someone's desk as a brick or paper weight that can little tiles...

Anybody in this great forum have an answer, after so long after the initial release of WP7?
[HD7 General] Snow Monkey:
Hi Pistol, basically Zune sucks like an electrolux!

If you use a windows live or hotmail account then your emails, contacts and calendars will sync back to your phone even after a full restore but that is where the good news ends.

If you have purchased an app you can download it again as many times as you want but your data or game saves for that app will be lost every time you reset or install a new ROM.

The only time Zune backs up your phone is before it installs a new update and your backup is fixed at that point in time. So lets say if in a months time you break your handset and get a replacement you should be able to restore the backup but all game saves etc will be from the month old backup and any progress made in between will be lost!

The real problem is if you decide to upgrade your HD7 to say a Titan, your backup is useless and yes you can re sync your hotmail stuff and download your apps again but you have to start from the beginning as far as saves go!

Microsoft really need to sort Zune out because it lets the whole WP7 platform down. People will argue that because WP7 devices come from multiple manufacturers with bespoke apps then backups between handsets cannot happen. Personally I think that as an operating system WP7 is brilliant but the lack of regular user data backup makes it so frustrating!

My girlfriend had an iPhone 4 which she sold about 3 months ago and for a while used an HTC Desire which she did not like at all, so when the 4S was released she upgraded and when she synced it with her iTunes magically all her previous data, game saves, apps etc were on her new 4S!

If WP7 is built with Xbox live in mind why can't I retrieve my game saves, I can do it on my PC and I can do it on my Xbox? If Apple can do it then so can Microsoft.

End of rant!
[General Questions and Answers] MusiQ1:
I tried to make an ext3 partition on my sd card for a2sd+ but here's what happened!

I firstly resized the wrong filesystem thingie, but that shouldn’t be any problem. Everything worked fine and I didn’t touch the sd card.

After that i found the sd card drive and ordered it to resize it with 512 mb. After that I said it to make it ext3 partition. Pressed apply but after a minute or so I got an error. It said to look at the detail screen but couldn’t find it.

Now is the problem, It doesn’t show up at all anymore in Gparted! The whole sd card dissappeared! I can find it in windows though and I can see (in disk manager) that it’s divided in 2 bits! But I can’t format the new bit to ext3 or do anything with it. Could also just be some fault.

I’m not sure about how or what but it’s killing me, i need this for a2sd+ and miui au, damnit. Please help!

I do have a HTC Desire

*EDIT*

Well, installed this program:

EASEUS Partition Master 6.5.2 Home Edition

Found the drive, made in an ext3 and primary, worked flawlessly! Problem solved =)
[General Questions and Answers] Zheiko:
I have very similar issue, I have done EXT3 partition, first time visible for the phone and even for windows, then I unplugged SD card from phone and since then the card is invisible for either the phone and PC(win 7 64bit)

So, as the card cannot be seen I cannot reformat it back to FAT32 or anything else

here is what I did:

used MINITOOL PARTITION WIZARD

alocated SD card (Transcend 8gb class6) created 1gb EXT3 and 70mb Swap file(wanted 64 but it did 70instead, fair enough, should not cause the problem).

I did this in phone(HTC Desire), using mass storage connection, everything seemed fine, up until I took the card away from phone, then when I plugged it back in, phone could not see it any more. So I found my old reader, and tried it in there, same issue SD card just cannot be seen:(:(:(

Any ideas how to make it visible again?

[Android Apps and Games] nathanhi:
Hi,

the easiest way would be to extract it from e.g. the CyanogenMod/DRC83 Base ROM.

DRC83: h*tp://dx.infernix.net/DRC83_base_defanged.zip

CM4: h*tp://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/update-cm-4.2.15.1-signed.zip

(Sorry for the links - I have'nt enough postings to publish URL's ;))

Extract the ZIP-File and search for the APK's in system/app. BTW: Which Tablet are you using? You could download the original ROM and extract it from there. I'm not sure if the Vending.apk/etc. from the HTC Dream runs on a tablet.. Theoretically - yes.

Greetings,

Nathan
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tmender:
Is there a way to make it so my notification will pulse till I actually see what it is? I often miss text messages and calls for hours because of this. My old Moto Cliq would blink till I actually saw the messages, so I know it's doable. BTW Rooted on Stock T-Mo OTA.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urfavoritemazn:
download LEDmeknow so it'll blink for missed calls,texts, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dietotherhythm:
I've been having the same issue lately. The track back pulsing would do its job until I installed bacon bits so I could have the green light on top blink too but I guess 2 lights blinking is being greedy and after a few flashes they stop. Hope urfavoritemazn's suggested app works :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menotti:
Hi all,

Ever since flashing the last CM stable, I've been experiencing terrible boot loops.

Yesterday was the worst, no matter what I did, the phone would either get stuck at the white screen, or get to the CM loading screen and then reboot.

Tried wiping and reflashing, and experienced the same things.

Wiped and reflashed with Fresh 3.4, and it was working for a while. Then, all of a sudden, the phone couldn't pick up Sprint service and started the hands-free activation mode. Low and behold, it goes back into a boot loop.

Now, I'm sitting here on a frozen white screen again.

The funny thing is, the phone will randomly reboot sometimes during a wipe or a flash using Clockwork.

Any ideas? I see a few similar posts but none describing the same issue with Sense based (not CM) roms.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menotti:
So I just tried the following and I am frozen at the white screen:

- wipe data/cache/dalvik twice

- flash Fresh 3.2 (sense based rom)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menotti:
Tried doing a Nandroid restore. Seemed to be going OK for a while until the phone just rebooted during the restore. WTF? Is this a problem with the SD card?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menotti:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menotti:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menotti:

can anyone offer an advice? i'm drowning here...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menotti:
Flashed RA recovery. Thing still randomly reboots when wiping or flashing ROMs. Ugh.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leukay:
It's rebooting while in recovery?!?! Wow man, it sounds like your hardware is messed up. I've never heard of a phone rebooting while in recovery. You may need to get a replacement :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misty Blue:
Yes, I had this problem. The processor was overheating. The phone was replaced. Hopefully you can unroot so you can get yours replaced. I had trouble unrooting because it kept rebooting during the process, took a good 3-4 hours.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menotti:
Yeah it reboots while in recovery. Like, I'll be doing a wipe and the phone will reboot.

So far I've tried a number of RUUs and stock PC36IMG from flashboot all with the same result - the device will get into the OS and then just reboot. This will loop 3 or 4 times and then get frozen at the white screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menotti:
Ah weird. If I am S-ON I'm good to go? Sounds like I need a manufacturer's replacement if I don't have the insurance, right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misty Blue:
I went to sprint for my replacement. I called HTC first, but they were going to charge me, which I am not ok with doing while the phone is still under warranty. At sprint, they asked me to replicate the reboot and when I did, they ordered the replacement on the spot. My problem had gotten to the point that I knew how to make it happen on the spot, though. You may have to do some quick talking if you can't reproduce the problem right away. But, you should be able to get a free replacement.

ETA: I don't have the insurance. As long as your phone is under a year, which it is, sprint has to honor the manufacturer 1 year warranty.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menotti:
K, I'm going to try to walk in and do that.

I called one of the repair centers and they said they'd only be able to look at it, but would triage back to HTC for warranty repair.

Called HTC, they're talking 2-4 weeks for repair.

You think if I walk in one of the Sprint places and repro, they will replace on the spot? Sounds like they don't do that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misty Blue:
I called sprint and made an appointment. You must not tell then you rooted at any point or they will not honor the warranty. If at all possible, don't mention going into recovery. Try to reproduce the problem some other way. They will not charge you and they will either give you the replacement if they have it or order it and it will arrive the next day.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menotti:
Thanks, I will try this tomorrow.

I had it in a semi working state today, got back S-OFF and .76 HBOOT. Had CM 6.1 running for hours. Went to check it a lil while ago, just messing around in the UI and the thing reboots. Reboot loop begins at that point. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, sounding more and more like hardware.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menotti:
Did an RUU to the latest for craps and giggles. This makes S-ON and HBOOT .97. Same issue, get to OS, random reboot, the reboot loop.

This is easily producible and now that I am in S-ON and no recovery installed, I should hopefully be able to replace it. Definitely hardware, possibly CPU overheat from what I've read earlier.

I'm afraid my sprint store may force me to go direct to the manufacturer since this would be a manufacturer warranty repair. they told me over the phone (sprint corp) that this is the policy. I'll walk in and try.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menotti:
So I went to the Sprint store today. I pretty easily reproduced the issue.

My options were to go through HTC for manufacturer's warranty, or have it replaced on the spot. Problem is that Sprint charges a $35 "replacement fee" for the convenience. I felt my time (3-4 weeks through HTC) was worth more than the fee, so I paid it and was on my way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misty Blue:
That's interesting. I did not have to pay for my replacement and I did not have to go through HTC who did try to make me pay.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Menotti:
Yeah, they said they don't deal with manufacturers any longer. Seemed to get a different story at different repair centers.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tx_dbs_tx:
If you have TEP (Total Equipment Protection) on your line, there is no service charge for in-store or over-the-phone warranty replacements. You must not have TEP on your account/line otherwise there is no service charge for this service. That is the first thing Sprint employees ask you when seeking warranty assistance in-store or over-the-phone.

I highly recommend that you add TEP to your line. This includes insurance with a $100 deductible for out of warranty devices and loss, theft, or physical damage. It costs $7 per month. A high end phone is not cheap to replace if you don't have insurance. Try paying full retail price and you will see what I mean.

Glad you got your phone replaced.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raillery:
Portable hotspot: I've searched around and found a couple different answers, with the most popular being that some carriers monitor unauthorized hotspot usage when you haven't paid the ridiculous $30 per month to use the internet that you're already paying for through sprint. The problem I'm having is that when using the hotspot feature built in to CM6.1.1 (and previous releases) I can only get "limited connectivity" in vista (and all OS as far as I know) and can't connect to the internet. Basically, I "connect" but I don't connect to the internet.

LEDs: I would like the amber low battery LED in the speaker to pulse only when my screen is turned off. I go to CM settings > user interface > LED Notifications > advanced, and then I uncheck the "always pulse" box, but the light still blinks as soon as the battery hits 15%.

If anyone has any remedies to these problems they would be much appreciated! Happy holidays everyone :D
