Android :: Any GPS Speed Readout?
Oct 6, 2010
Maybe I missed it, but when I am using the google maps app, I don't see any indication of the speed I'm making over the ground. Am I just missing this or, if not, is there a GPS app that shows speed over the ground while using the GPS?

I have a static background image, and a foreground that needs to be animated. I tried a couple different approaches but the animation seemed choppy. One thing I did was having 2 different views, constantly calling invalidate() on the foreground view. Another was to have only 1 surfaceview, redrawing the background image and the foreground on each step of the animation.
While a surfaceview offers an optimal way to do heavy-duty animation, having to redraw the background every time kills the performance. Neither produced a smooth animation. What is the best way to perform this kind of animation - static background and animated foreground?

I have a DROID eris HTC and there are only 9 speed dials. My antique LG would let me use any number for a speed dial even if it was two digits. It came in handy as each person was assigned his or her birthdate. Now with my high tech phone I only have 9? Please tell me there's a way. There must be seeing as 86 is speed dial.

so I've been waiting for 4G in minnesota for a while now for my epic. They haven't announced it yet but. They've been. Tinkering with the towers lately and I've been seeing sme 4G coverage here are my mobile speed test results I was surprised considering I've been reading about people saying its more like 3 and a half G with speeds not much greater than 3G I realize however that right now there's almost 0 congestion and bandwith will slow considerably however the froyo update should even that out So what are your speeds?

I have just started with development and would like to ask if Android's QEMU emulator uses any type of hardware acceleration.I made a simple Android program that extends the WebView activity and loads a webpage at start.That's all it does.It takes 35 seconds to cold start the emulator and acitivity from the Eclipse IDE. It takes 12 seconds to reload the acitivity when emulator is already up & running.Do you think these numbers are normal? Is there any possibility to speed up the emulation speed of QEMU?I can try to answer to this question myself. In the past, I used QEMU with KQEMU kernel module that remarkably boosted the emulation speed on X86 hardware. But Android runs on ARM CPU (not Intel or AMD CPU), so KQEMU module cannot be used here.My PC is Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.00GHz. 4GB RAM. Running Eclipse IDE 3.5 (Galileo) on 64 bit Ubuntu Linux 9.04.

I have 40 MB file in server and i am downloading my file using
HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
c.setRequestMethod("GET");
c.setDoOutput(true);
c.connect();
FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(new File("trips.xml"));
InputStream in = c.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int len1 = 0;
while ( (len1 = in.read(buffer)) != -1 ) {
f.write(buffer,0, len1);
this code seems working fine but it is taking too long. is their any way I can make this process faster.

Is there a way to determine connection speed? E.g. EDGE, 3G, etc.? I already know NetworkInfo.getType() will tell me Wifi or Mobile. I'm looking at Is this NetworkInfo.getSubtypeName(), but the function is undocumented.

Currently, attempting to scroll when the text view has large amount of text makes the app completely unresponsive. It doesn't ANR, but it doesn't respond either. I've tried occasionally removing some text from the text view and removing some spans also, but it doesn't seem to help much. Any idea how to improve scrolling? It takes ages to scroll up or down. I also tried throttling touch events but it hasn't helped either.

Apparently auto focus in a phone camera isn't all it's hyped up to be. To get faster performance (the time from pressing the shutter button to the picture being taken is usually slowed down by the camera trying to find focus in autofocus mode (and sometimes missing completely and giving up if the subject is dark or lack contrast). I'm not sure about all Android phones, but my Acer Liquid has a focus setting either 'infinity' or 'auto'. From what what I understand about photography, on a small lens such as on a camera phone, the DOF (Depth of Field) is very large, and when the focus is set to the hyperfocal length (the 'infinity' setting), everything from infinity to about 2.5 ft is in focus. I confirmed this with my phone (set focus to infinity, see what the closest thing that's in focus). So what this really means is for almost all regular picture-taking, it should be set to 'infinity' for faster performance, and only set to 'auto' when one needs to take pictures of objects closer than about 2.5 ft, like a 'macro' mode. So it would've actually made more sense if Android Camera app were to label the two settings '0-2.5 ft auto focus' and 2.5-infinity fixed focus'. If your camera has this setting, give it a try and see if it's snappier.

Is there an app that i can download that shows my processor speed? I have seen them on phones that have been rooted and overclocked, but never seen one for stock.I am on a Motorola Droid running stock 2.1-update 1. I dont want to hear "just root and overclock." If anyone knows of an app or tool that will show this.

HTC G2 appearance wise look like the Nexus 2, but hardware it's a different beast. i just saw this HSPA+ result from android central and i cant believe. T-mobile might have the worst coverage, but where i live, it's pretty damage good and comparable to Sprint 4G. But seeing this, it totally blew my mind away. Is it possible??

Anyone know of an audio player that will speed up the playback? It would be nice if it could keep the pitch the same but sped up is the goal. I used TCPMP on the Treo. This is great for listening to podcasts in a fraction of the time. Depending on the original audio, I can generally make everything out up to +25%.

The internet browser works very slowly inside the emulator for Android 2.1 AVD.I tried using -netfast switch also while launching the emulator, but it doesnt help much.The same websites when i open in my Browser from my desktop , it opens very fast, and the same website inside emulator opens very slowly. Also i get only 2 towers on the network strength indicator in my emulator.Is there any way to improve the network signal inside the emulator?I have also noticed that emulator would get the network only if i am connected to the internet, else it gives no signal I am trying to simulate a very simple sms message sending and receving between two instances of emulators opened on 2 AVD.The message sending is successful only if my internet connection is on before i launch the emulator, else it gives no Service and message is not sent.I have noticed that a DNS SERVER NOT FOUND warning comes if i try to launch the emulator with my internet connection switched off.

In the test project, I am importing the mockito library for standard POJO testing.However, when I import the library, the compilation time skyrockets from 1 second to about 30 seconds in eclipse. The cause seems to be that the whole library is converted each time. So basically, each time a make a modification that I want to test, I have to wait 30 seconds.

I need fewer speeding tickets. I've tried voting in local elections but that doesn't seem to help. So I'm left to looking at applications that can help me keep my speed in check.
I really like this application for iPhone, but it doesn't seem to have an Android port. It seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. It has a database of speed limits and notifies you when your phone's GPS reports you have exceeded those limits. The database is user-updated so it should be fairly accurate and current. It also has a really classy GUI.
Is there anything currently in the Android market that can help me? I've tried Trapster, but it doesn't have the functions I'm looking for. It also was pretty annoying as it constantly went off for every potential copper hiding place.

I know, you can make short cuts, but they are a real pain (and unsafe) to use while driving. It would be great to long press on any number in the dialer and dial a selected number. By the way, I'm sure you've noticed if you select a number on the dialer, then press # a contact number on your SIM card appears. Not sure what the hell they were thinking of with that one...

I know there is an app like this for the iphone but have yet to find one on Android. Basically I am looking for am app that adjusts the volume of your phone based on how fast you are going. Similar to newer car stereos that go up and down based on your speed.

Got used to listening to my podcasts on my iPod touch in 2X speed. Would like to use my Incredible the same way. Anybody know of a way to speed up the playback? I looked in settings, and didn't find anything, so suspect will need an app or something. On second note, is there a way to access the Market from a computer? Searching via the phone is pretty hard to do.
