[General Questions and Answers] Mageer:
Hi!

Is it possible to write programs using Java on an android device?

I would like to learn how to write code in Java, and it would have been at lot easier if I was able to do it on the go i.e on my SGS.

Does there exist some sort of program for Android devices that enables me to write Java code just like in Windows?

What about C/++?

thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] UpwardSpiral:
The answer is sort of. Most android apps are written in Dalvik, which is a type/variant of Java. The easiest way to write apps is to download the android SDK (software development kit) and Eclipse (a java app writing program). You can find a lot of good information at:

http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html

The instructions for how to download and set up the SDK are at

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

There are quite a few steps, but just carefully follow each one and you should be fine. Have Fun!

Is there an app on the android market that looks exactly like the AOSP dialer/contacts app? i have found an app called piano dialer pro, wich is similar but not exact. would anyone know of a way to get something similar to this, or does anyone have a an apk file willing to share?

thanks

Why there not much guru to discuss the dialer theme???
[Droid 2 Global General] JoninLA:
Having searched this and various other forums I'll see if anyone here can help on this item. I've been using WM devices and XDA for many years and have now had to switch to a Droid 2 Global on Verizon due to work rather than choice. For over ten years I have entered my outlook contacts in the format +XX (YYY) ZZZ-ZZZZ where obviously, XX=country code.

When I dial by contact on the droid it fails and tells me the number is disconnected etc.

If I manually enter the number using this format with the "+" sign into the dialer then it switched the "+" to "011" and dials successfully.

If I create the contact on my phone and enter the "+" sign in the phone number it seems to automatically create a second number entry as "011" as well so it then dials successfully.

The odd part is several colleagues seem to be able to use their existing outlook contacts in the same format successfully.

I have tried switching on and off the assisted dialing and it doe snot seem to make any difference, calls still fail to go through.

I am using a D2G with a stock (but rooted) ROM

System 2.4.330.A956.Verizon.en.US

Android 2.2

Baseband N_01.48.05R

Apologies if I have missed something obvious, I know my way around WM but this is all new. Thanks in advance for any help.
[Droid 2 Global General] helmutiffe:
I had a couple of issues with telephone number formats, installing the "More Locale 2" app (available on the market) seemed to fix them.

Mine was more a presentation issue though, I'm not sure if it will solve your dialer problem but it's worth a try.

I noticed some old posts on this, but not much said. Wondering if anyone has or can create a clear notification bar. I usually hide it, but sometimes like to have the notification icons shown. I'd like to have my wallpaper show thru. Just curious more than anything. Using MikFroyo 4.4 by the way.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poochie2:
Hi all,

I wanted to migrate from Virtuous ROM 0.9.0 to the latest MIUI on my G2, but I realized that doing this from a 1.72.405.2-based ROM to any other different one will cause app preferences' db to be non-reimportable after backup.

I suppose HTC changed something to optimize sqlite's (or whatever Android uses) databases that makes backup files useless with other ROMs. I found the issue by either backing up via Titanium Backup or by using in-app backup where available, and the first does nothing, the second one crashes or does nothing too.

Is there any known workaround for this? I didn't find anything related to this.

PS: I noticed that backups work fine in CM7 nightly builds!

I had my gps stop working again and I got it to work again by doing this. See if it works for you.

First get CM6.1.1 and it's gapps

wipe data

format system

install cm 6.1.1

install it's gapps

boot into cm6

use google maps and get a lock

next get a cm7 nightly and it's gapps

wipe data

format system

install cm7

install its gapps

boot into cm7

use google maps and get a lock

report back to me thanks :)
[HTC Aria General] joachim123:
i thought about trying that, then i decided to just go to seettings>applications>manage applications> maps and force stop and clear data, and it just worked. =]
[HTC Aria General] hi2u2:
jznomoney,

do you know if gps is being worked on to fix this problem? i appreciate the workaround, but its not too ideal if its still needed in the final release.
[HTC Aria General] jznomoney:
its still being looked into. google changes the way it handles gps calls in 2.3. So someone wrote a wrapper to translate the calls. It's not perfect since the gps library itself is closed source.
[HTC Aria General] hi2u2:
Closed meaning by google or by htc?
[HTC Aria General] jacobas92:
Thanks! Worked perfectly!
[HTC Aria General] Darius_bd:
But even to a nandroid backup of cm7 this fix is useful - it was for mine. How can this be possible?

And, interesting that is CS. Then it's not about cyanogenmod not working with CS but rather with illegal sources, in the case of the HTC's FM drivers...? uhm...
[HTC Aria General] jznomoney:
The libgps.so is closed source by HTC.
[HTC Aria General] psyionx:
i only got mine working after i flash my radio to 7.08.35.21... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=706435

but it took a while to have the GPS lock. and its to a point of 20m radius.

UPDATE: the 20m radius was made by half of the sky. I was on my office window. I tested in my car while driving. I get 8m radius.
[HTC Aria General] jasonyump:

[HTC Aria General] tommyguns818:
it worked!!!!

I did the first portion, flashed cm6 and gaps. Then got a quick lock without wifi on using maps then navigator. Then wiped data, and factory reset. Then restored a nandroid backup that I made before I started this process. Turned on GPS, no wifi and bam!!!!!!!!!!!!! Locked. Maps then navigator. It didn't so this before. Oh and I'm useing nighty 42 HTC aria. Thanks a bunch!!!!!! It's a long process but worked
[HTC Aria General] eakackack:
this worked perfectly for my thanks
[HTC Aria General] drbombay14:
This seems to fix it for me!

Restored a nandroid of Sense, turned GPS on, made sure the flashing icon was there when using maps.

Then just restored the RC1 nandroid and there it is. :D

Maybe it was because I had GPS turned off (with the HTC widget) before?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil-dice:
I've been constantly battling sleep issues. I am on PRI/NV 1.77 and latest radio. I tried downgrading to 1.77 just recently to see if it would fix it and it hasn't, but I'm staying put.

Running latest MIUI and Savage 1.6 kernel.

Spare parts had been showing on average 50% running time even though my screen on time would be something like 5%. I had read that ideally these ratios should match, since it means your phone is properly sleeping.

Spare parts shows paltry wake locks of just a few seconds or minutes for Android System as the top app. I've killed all my widgets and even tried airplane mode and don't notice too much of a drop. After getting rid of all updating widgets (minimal text and the MIUI cal widget) and stopping google calendar sync I'm currently at 30% running vs 5% screen on. I've basically got everything that would run in the BG disabled -- set cpu, system monitor, etc. Is this a "good ratio"? Any other ideas on debugging what seems to be an obvious wake lock? I've looked at logcat and don't see a thing that looks interesting, hardly any activity. Am I just being crazy or does it seem like I still have a wake lock?

Thanks for reading :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeza:
If you've constantly been battling sleep issues, I would start looking at rogue apps that may be causing Android System processes to act up.

For instance:

I was battling a sleep issue with before knowing about PRI 1.90 causing it. Went so far as to reinstall my ROM wipe wipe and wipe some more before finally figuring it out.

In another instance I was battling sleep issues because of HTC's Facebook for HTC Sense. It was causing constant sync and I didn't notice because the sync icon would eventually go away, even if it took around half an hour.

One more instance, constantly changing governors with SetCPU was causing Android System process to use up a lot of CPU and my phone would become sluggish, and only after opening SetCPU and closing it again would my phone return to normal.

I would definitely start out by figuring out what apps you may have running at all times that aren't native to Android, then go from there. It sucks but once you figure it out, good times!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil-dice:
Thanks for the reply.

So, this is a bad ratio then, i'm not nuts?

I kill EVERYTHING then sleep and i'm still seeing the issues. Is there some more fool proof way I can guarantee nothing is running before sleeping? My guess would be something syncing more than it should have. Should I try toggling everything app's sync off and then sleeping?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil-dice:
Ok, turned off sync, slept and the top UID was 10018, which on my phone linked back to Google Service Framework. I'm clearing data, turning off sync and watching again to see if it has issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeza:
Interesting, I had that UID 10018 problem before and I never figured it out. It maybe Google Talk, Gmail, or even the Calendar. You may have to try clearing caches of one or all three to really see.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil-dice:
Cleared data, sleeping didn't improve. I slept with sync off after clearing data...i'm at a loss. I have next to nothing starting up. The only thing I can think is that Spare parts is reporting wrong information. You'd think it would be fairly easy to determine why the phone is not sleeping. If i don't even have sync turned on and it's still not sleeping as much as I feel it should be, I'm at a bit of a loss :/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeza:
Under battery........what are your Up Time and Awake Time looking like?

Identical? minutes apart? seconds?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil-dice:
I'm not sure how to get to that in MIUI, in battery settings i jut see my minutes since unplugged. No Awake time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
What's a good ratio for awake/screen on? I really wouldn't want my awake time to be more than %120 of the screen on time. This can change if you regularly use the phone while the screen is off (music playing, wifi stuff, etc). At least, I'm pretty sure having the wifi on will increase your awake time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil-dice:
hmm ding ding ding.

Turned off wifi, did a quick 15 minute test and now my awake/screen are right in line....so what gives? Why does wifi prevent my phone from sleeping? Since i'm running MIUI i have to have wifi set to never sleep otherwise you get random reboots...feel like i'm between a rock and a hard place now :/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
That's just how it is for all AOSP kernel using roms. Their wifi sleep mode is absolutely terrible. On the plus side, it seems as though it doesn't use an absurd amount of battery to keep the wifi on.
[HD2 General] klumpbatsch:
Hi there,

I flashed my HD2 several times before, using winXP. Now I got a new laptop with

Win 7 64 bit. I want to flash my phone with a WM6.5 Dutty ROM. The phone syncs fine when running but when it switches to bootloader, the laptop doesn't recognize the phone anymore.:confused: It does not switch to USB and on the Laptop I get the message that there is no driver for "Qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM"

Help please, I tried to find some answers but couldn't find anything!

Thanks.
[HD2 General] silverwind:
Mate, this issue has been known since the beginning of HD2 using win 7 or vista. There is a thread duscussing about that, but unfortunately I forget the link for that.

I also use win 7 64 bit and I experienced that too.

What I did to solve it was turning off my phone and leave it for a while (at least 5 minutes) and also turn off my pc.

After that i turn it on again the pc and the phone and plug the phone to different usb port. It works.

If you still have problem, you can try to reinstall windows mobile center.

goodluck

Hey guys.

I'm on stock rom 2.2. I'm having issues with getting apps to download in market over wifi.

When I click on the button to install, I get a notification saying that the app is downloading, but after it has finished, it says download unsuccessful. However, if I turn wifi off and use 3G, it completes the download just fine and continues with the installation.

I have also rooted my phone and am using Lou's #8 kernel at the moment, but this has been an issue ever since I got the phone and connected it to my wireless network.

Everything else works perfectly fine with my wifi... internet, mail, etc. I guess Market just doesn't like my wifi? I've tried resetting my router, changing my network password, etc.

I'm at a loss... it's starting to irritate me. Anyone know what might be happening?

[Desire HD General] o0jaz0o:
Hey, ive recently updated the rom on my phone from cm 6.1 (stable) to cm7 nightly (vendor ace) -

initially i did it to test it and to see if it would fix my problem were the phone screen would automatically turn off when reciveing and sending calls, which resulted in taking out the battery and turning back on(which is now randomly working again)

after i flashed the cm7(

via rom mamanger

) it worked fine, got back onto the phone and i didnt have market and my phone wasnt connecting to google accounts aswell, so i then installed gapps. it worked the first time and it said it was succesful.

Restarted my phone and its the same, no market..etc..

so i tried it again, same thing, then for some reason when ever i try and load into the recovery from rom manager or from the inital vol - and power, it just freezes on the HTC startup screen.

The only thing i think i may have done different was adding this file to my phone (

recovery-ace-3.0.0.5.img

) because someone on cm7 told me i needed it, but i have no clue what it was for nor how to load or flash it.

So my main problem is, gapps wouldnt install and now ic ant access the recovery manager either and im getting kinda bored without my precious DHD :(

Can someone please help me :( :(
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Just to make this clear, you cannot access your recovery even through bootloader? Can you get to the bootloader?
[Desire HD General] o0jaz0o:
i cant access the recovery manager through the boot loader either but yes i can access the boot loader
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Okay, then download this file:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18138289/reco.img

And then download radio flash.zip from radio.img flash guide sticky, extract it, open "start here", drop reco.img to the radio flash folder and type:

Your device has to be in bootloader>fastboot mode. After that you can access recovery, do a full wipe and flash CM6.
[Desire HD General] o0jaz0o:
Ill try this now and reply once its done, erm why flash cm6? or do you think the same fault will happen if i try and reinstall cm7?

do i have to be in the bootloader from the beginning?

plus is there htc sync for MACs?

Thanks alot btw
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Well, you can try to flash the cwm 3.img like I described and then install CM7, but I know for sure that the recovery I linked works with CM6.

You have to be in bootloader fastboot when you issue the command, yes.

I do not have a MAC, so I am not really sure. I think that you would have to get Android SDK and forget about radio flash toolkit if you want to use a MAC.
[Desire HD General] o0jaz0o:
And then download radio flash.zip from radio.img flash guide sticky, extract it, open "start here", drop reco.img to the radio flash folder and type:

right so whilst i do all of this, i need to be in the bootloader > fast boot - sorry just want to clarify, ive not done this before but i have faith!!
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Yeah, it does not really matter, but I would put my phone to bootloader fastboot so it is ready. The important thing is that your device is in fastboot mode when you enter the fastboot flash command.
[Desire HD General] o0jaz0o:
Kool Kool, well thanks alot im going to try this now :D
[Desire HD General] o0jaz0o:
right so i successfully entered the recovery, thanks alot for the help with that.

I tried to reinstall cm7 -worked and gapps - said it worked, but it still wont bring up the market app, why is this?

i reinstalled a back up and everything is working again, im so confused why it wont bring up the market app in cm7 :(
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
when you boot into recovery, not just through rom manager, does it say you have cwm 3.x installed? if so try re-flashing the gapps, if not go back into fastboot and flash cwm3.
[Desire HD General] o0jaz0o:
Wow, really sorry about that, i thought the cwm was a custom firmware i thought t was optional, sorry for the inconvenience, but thank you alot this has been daunting :/

flashed the right recovery, and everything is working as it should be, thankyou both very much
