I would like to have the ability to print documents (docs to go), texts, etc., directly from my phone. I am guessing that if such an app exists I would have to have a WiFi capable printer? Is there an app to do this? If so what do I need to have once installing this app?

If Sprint release a firmware update OTA to the HTC EVO, can I update without contract?? I know gsm phone need a dummy sim card to have full access to phone menu and etc., but I dont about cdma phone.
View 10 Replies View RelatedHaving seen similar threads i know im not the only ex symbian user, not that i didnt enjoy my time with it but its time to move on! ive tried to see if this question has been repeated elsewhere but i couldnt so i do apologise if i missed it!
on my previous symbian devices n95 and 5800 if i used an app that required web access be that wifi or over the network it always asked me if i wanted to allow this, and i thought it was a good feature. now i just got a HTC desire and for financial reasons couldnt get an unlimited data plan from o2 in the uk just yet otherwise id be happy to let it be on all the time.
now it seems that if you want devices to connect you either have the wifi on or off, same for the mobile network. does anyone know if there is a setting or app or anything in the pipeline that might emulate this symbian function? maybe its me just being a bit funny but i found that level of control good and it didnt mean i had to go backwards and forwards turning stuff on and off. if its not possible im sure ill get used to it but it would be a good feature!
secondly i have a Ford Focus euro model with a built in bluetooth hands free to the stereo, a factory fitted option which i believe uses a nokia Bluetooth module (stereo is sony) now this really is a minor quibble but on the old phones when the bluetooth was on any incoming calls would push the ringtone through the speakers untiill i answered it
using the desire the phone still rings normally with whatever ringtone i have but it pushes a plain ring ring through the speakers, anyone know a way to change that? or mute the phone when it rings and just push the ring through the stereo?
I want to add a big feature to an application i am developping, but as this feature interest few people and is quite independant from the main part, I would like to put that in a seperate "plugin" application.Does anyone knows any design patterns, snippets, "reference" examples about such design?In particular that separate plugin application should be able to access some tables in the main application DB. Is it possible to do that without broadcast receiver? - the main application uses a TabActivity: is it possible that a the tabactivity instanciates an Intent Activity that is part of the plugin? - does the plugin can access main application preferences (not sure this would be necessary, but better to anticipate the question!) is it possible from the plugin to access main applications ressources?At least the 2 first points are mandatory for me.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am developing an application on the android platform. The app performs continues WiFi scan and sends information about the list of visible access points to server.

Is there anyway I can distinguish a given point is Ad Hoc or Master?

My problem is i am not able select wifi access point..Every time it shows previous configured wifi details.
I am using ralink WiFi driver in android, I am able to connect to the access-point using the Wireless Settings provided in the Android, But once I connect to the network and restart the WiFi.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two WiFi access points in my house, due to thick walls. When I turn on my phone it searches and connects to the first access point it finds, which is not necessarily the one with the strongest signal. e.g. I have one access point on channel 10 (lounge) and another on channel 1 (bedroom). When I'm in the lounge it always connects to the A/P in the bedroom, unless I actively "forget" that network, even though the signal strength of the one in the bedroom is VERY weak. Is there a way to force it to pick the strongest A/P?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding WiFi setup on my Android. When I'm at home, I want to use manual IP settings for my WiFi (instead of relying on DHCP). However, when I'm out using other WiFi (a coffee shop, or at school) I obviously need DHCP. How do I set manual IP settings on a per-wifi-hotspot basis?
(Galaxy S Vibrant)
I am building an application reading the signal strength of each available WiFi access point. I've written code like:
wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
// Get WiFi status
WifiInfo info = wifi.getConnectionInfo();
textStatus.append(" WiFi Status: " + info.toString());
// List available networks
List<WifiConfiguration> configs = wifi.getConfiguredNetworks();
However, I have two problems:
In debugging, configs only contains one connection. However, I can see that there are several APs available in the system's wifi setting. i.e. configs is an incomplete list. I don't know how to get the signal strength in Wifi Configuration. I am using HTC Hero and Android 1.5.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S, running Froyo. I have an issue with WiFi handover, so I am posting here (in addition to the SGS section) in case this is an Android issue rather than an SGS-specific issue. I have two WiFi Access Points (APs) at home, both using the same SSID, but on different channels.
I expected the SGS to automatically move (handover) from one AP to another based on signal strengths that vary depending on where I am. However, this does not happen. It stays on the AP that it is connected to, even when moving to very poor signal levels. I need to manually trigger this (e.g by disconnecting from the AP). Any configuration or Android app. By the way, I also tried configuring the APs with different SSIDs, but this didn't work either.
I'm (newbie) working on android platform 2.1 and i want to estimate my location using WiFi Access Point. i tried with GPS_Provider and Network_Provider but i want to estimate it specifically with WiFi AP in Network_Provider and not through Cell towers. is there any way to get my location through WiFi AP? if yes then how?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the Samsung Captivate, and I'm having a bit of an issue with my company's Exchange server. I don't want to sync it with my phone, I prefer to keep my work email separate, but I do occasionally need to use the Outlook Web Access portal on the server. When I'm on any WiFi connection, and I browse to my server's OWA, I get the login prompt, and I can successfully log in and do whatever I need to.
However, when on 3g, I get simply "Access Denied" without a login prompt at all. I've tried rebooting the phone, killing the browser process, clearing the caches in the browser, etc. None of that works. I administer this server myself, and it works with my wife's iphone just fine, as well as other android phones in the office.
I"m always connected by wifi at home and i would like to access my files through wifi. There are a lot of web browser based wifi apps (like Websharing) but I was wondering if there are any drag and drop methods as if I was connected by the USB cable. I want to access the SD card through My Computer and not Firefox.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to detect the 4G capability of the device.
How can I do that?
I have an application in which I need to connect to an access point with a specific name. Therefor I start a scan (WifiManager.startScan()) and listen to BroadCastEvents of type SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION and NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION. When the scan results are available, I check if my AP is found and if so I connect to it.
When I'm connected to the AP, I receive a NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION and there I open a SocketConnection to my serverSocket. The problem I'm having is that on the moment that I'm connected to the AP, the DHCP request is not yet finished. This causes the opening of the socketConnection to throw a "SocketException: Network unreachable". A few moments later I see in the logcat logging: WifiStateTracker - DhcpHandler: DHCP request succeeded. If I try to connect after this message, all goes fine. is there an event that I can listen to that informs me that the DHCP request is done? Now I try to create a connection and while an error occurs I retry. This is however very dangerous for hanging (if e.g the dhcp fails, the loop will never stop...)
i just picked up a unlocked a moto cliq.. my concern is that i have never had a data plan on my account (at&t). this phone seems to have alot of different apps and widgets updating themselfs continuosly.. i have no problem with while im at home beacuse of my wifi that i can connect to.. but when im not on a wifi connection it seems to still be updating.. which i dont want until i upgrade my plan to unlimited data.. How do i turn off these features or turn off data/ internet acess all together when im not on a wifi connection?
