Android : App Icon - Label Bugs With New HTC Hero Phones
Oct 25, 2009
I originally titled this with the word "quirkiness" instead of "bugs" but after reading the android reference docs, I believe it's a bug.
I'm having problems with the app icons and labels for the Light Racer series of games I've released on Hero. The games seem to run fine but for whatever reason, they are having problems displaying more than the package name on the home screen on Hero phones. The app manager shows the right name and icon but not the home screen. It also on some phones shows a random image as the icon, not even the app icon! I used a copy of a manifest that I used originally for Light Racer 1.0 from when the Android SDK v1.0 was originally released. For whatever reason, I put the words "Light Racer" directly in to the manifest for the android:label. I also don't specify that same label for the launch activity. I've since changed the label to the default @string/app_name but people are still reporting problems. I thought that maybe not setting the label on the launch activity was causing the problem but then I read this: Code...

Just got the HTC Hero from Sprint and so far am loving almost everything about it. One question that I hope someone can help me with:Is there a way to change the size of icon's text or label (or perhaps the text itself)? For example, I have a screen with several Google apps on it, but they look like this: "Google M..." (for Google Maps); "Google S..." (for Google Sky), etc. It would be great if I could just change this to "Maps" or "Sky."

I'm curious about what your experience has been if you've had to get a replacement phone. Have the bugs on your old phone been resolved, or are you still having glitches - either the same old ones or new one? Your evening quiz: Did you have to install OTA or was 2.1 already installed? If you had the problems with poor battery life, or poor signal, before, do you have them on your replacement?Anyone have any *new* bugs arise on the replacement that you didn't have before?Was the replacement (presumably a refurb) in like-new condition? Did you just pull the SD and swap it before sending the old phone back? Does it make a difference if you return it to a Verizon store, or directly back to Verizon?

How can I achieve that? Code...

The name of my Android app is 14 characters long with no spaces, as such, the full name is not visible on the home screen when displayed under the launcher icon.I want to use an alternate name for displaying under the launcher icon, so I can break up the name into two strings separated by a space - so that the words should wrap.How can this be done?

I have been using the Fresh Rom that was built on the sprint release and I never have over 30mb of internal space, this causes my phone to run extremely slow. I barely have any apps on my phone, just dolphin HD, Sirius/Xm, Facebook, Mixzing. What is a solid 2.x Rom with little bugs and the most space. I thought I read somewhere that you should keep over 60mb free.

Anybody seeing this problem in the 2.1 Hero from the HTC community forum? Can somebody test this and see if this guy is correct?From Sprint Hero 2.1 calendar bugs! - HTC Hero (Sprint) - Android Forums - HTC Community "I just updated my Hero to 2.1 and discovered a bug in the calendar app. When I edit a multi-day or recurring event, I noticed the calendar automatically advances the start and end dates by 1 day. I must remember to set the start date back 1 day (which auto adjusts the end date) before I save the event. If I don't revert the start date, each edit causes the event to creep forward 1 day at a time. Another bug I noticed: if I go to a different date (not today) and view or edit an event, when I return from view/edit, the calendar jumps to today. In 1.5, the calendar would stay on whatever date I was viewing, even after a view or edit. This is especially annoying if I need to schedule several events on a given future date. After saving each event, the calendar jumps back to today, which requires me to again advance to the future date before I can create the next event."

A couple of times now I've had this problem on my Hero, and today it was a huge pain in the ass, as I was looking for the place I was headed to but couldn't find it.The problem is my Google Maps couldn't lock onto my signal it was jumping all over the state at first told me I was in Sacramento (one of the turn directions next to it had a misspelling "Socramento", wtf?), then Santa Rosa, then as I kept driving and pressing My Location, it switched to a random street about a mile away, then dumped me in the ocean.During this time, the GPS icon kept blinking and didn't stay solid. Also, once it picked up a location, it didn't continue to update it as it should do.I had to restart the phone and I think it's working OK now but this is at least the 2nd time it's happened to me.

Do any backup apps restore your phones icon and widgets. I don' want to have to re setup all the apps I have so I want something (if there is something) that can restore a phone to the way it was home screen and all.

Please help get Sweeter Home 2 released for the 1.5. The dev team will release a build for 1.5 if enough people click the link below and submit a comment asking for it: Running Android 1.5 and can't install the beta? : sweeterskins.net themes and news about Sweeter Home More info: sweeterskins.net themes and news about Sweeter It's unlike any other home replacement, allows you to store apps in different trays that pop-up at a click of the button, add custom calendars to the home screen, add chat and sms blocks to home screen, everything and I mean everything on the screen is customizable.

The new bugs feature is a great move forward to empower devs and users both, kudos Google.
However, the reports don't tell me which version of my app the report is from, which is critical for me to properly triage.
Is there any feedback channel to Google other than this group we could use to get this feature added?

Since the 1.5 upgrade, the phone exhibits a lot of strange behavior. 1) Calendar no longer works. It starts, then exists and not with a "forced exit" msg. I've tried deleting all of it's data/cache. Same behavior. It does appear in what looks like a background window (hold "home", which I just discovered today), but if selected it just returns to the main screen. 2) Market has the same problem. 3) Once the application list window is displayed, it takes a noticeably longer time than with the previous version for the window to respond to gestures 4) Set-up got into a weird circle of starting, "forced exit", repeat. I tried to enter set-up to disable the wifi, but accidentally hit something else, and do not know what that is.

We have a number of users experiencing crashes with our apps on Hero type phones (hero, droid eris, etc.). After some debugging, it appears that they upgraded the app, but that the phone somehow cached the old version of the AndroidManifest. For instance, the app version is still reported as one less than the latest, and the crash is caused by the phone not seeing a new activity in the Manifest (which is true for the old version manifest, but the new manifest of course has the activity defined). This seems to be limited to Hero phones, but we've seen it on all types (tmeu hero, verizon desirec, etc.). Is there any way to fix this besides spending many characters of the limited description size on something like "Hero users: please uninstall before upgrading"? Will there be a Hero fix to fix this behavior?

Ok, my question here is about the speed in which the Androids operate. I have a HTC Hero, I have it rooted and running the Fresh 1.1 ROM and the more I play with it, the more I don't like it. I work at a Verizon franchise and get to play with the Moto Droid all day and it is amazing at how much quicker it is. So, what I am asking is, is there antother DROID powered device besides the Nexus One that puts out similar speeds? And is there one for Sprint that is coming out soon or rumored to be atleast?

I don't know where to put the bug report of APIs.
I use WebView to display some pages in my dictionary software. I met some problems with WebView.
1) could not handle the color values When I use the HTML code: <font color="#00FF00"></font> the WebView could not handle this type of tags. But <font color="red"></font> can work well.
This bug exist both in SDK1.0 & SDK1.1
2) Chinese Char: I use UTF-8 as the charset, and if there exist some Chinese chars, then this HTML code could not be displayed in WebView: <html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></head> <body> <p><font color="red">[-------- 美国 统词典[双解] --------]</font></p> </body> </html>
This bug exists in SDK1.1.

I want to get the displayed name, id the label, that is associated with a android account. For instance, when you create a new contact, you have to precise the type of the account and to do so, you can pick up one of the account that enable contact synchronisation, or the 'telephone' type. I have search thru the AccountManager, ContactsContract.Settings and SyncAdapterType but cannot find this label.

SpaceBugs is a shootem up with perspective on you move 2 ships at the same time. The game with a OLD School gfx is a mix of Gyrus/Tempest and Xenon 2/Tyrian 2000.
