Can one buy a used device with no phone service and use it for testing apps?Second question: can wifi be used on such a phone, to connect to the internet?

I was demo'ing a DroidX the other day and was blown away by the google map and voice ability. This will lead me to buying one of the android devices. Among other features. Query: Can GPS enabled apps, work on the phone, without cell serivce. IE can you pre-load say all the US map and POI info into the phone so it can be used as a standalone GPS in the middle of no where.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Motorola Triumph and last night I got a notification that my memory was almost full so I went to delete some apps. The ones I deleted were QuickMark, FatBooth, Sports Wallpapers (from wallpaperbase.cc inc), The Walking Dead Theme (from STYLISH THEMES BY DESIGNEM), and Thermometer (from BORCE TRAJKOVSKI). I think it messed up after deleting The Walking Dead one. Anyway now my phone can't make/receive calls, send/receive texts, or do any data. I have been at 0 bars since deleting those. I called Virgin Mobile and they couldn't solve the problem so they are sending me a new phone. how can I prevent this from happening again in the future?

If it runs on the emulator is it safe to assume that it runs on an actual phone? The phone is pretty costly and will be useless for me after the contest. Is there a place I can rent the Dev phone?

Unfortunately, these are all pretty fast phones with 1ghz processors. Just wondering if someone with a 600mhz phone would be willing to give it a go, and let me know how it plays performance- wise?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm planning a mini road trip this weekend and I want to use it as a way to test out the GPS capabilities on the phone? I'd like to be able to replace my Magellan entirely. The maps are a bit out of date and it would be nice to have one less device to carry around.
I tried both NDrive and GMaps. I was unimpressed with both of them. Both were much more difficult to program than my Magellan when I tried programming them manually. NDrive was confusing to set up in the first place. GMaps worked quite nicely with voice programming, but I have no clue what commands I've got beyond that. NDrive didn't support this at all. On my Magellan I can give voice commands and have it pull up the POIs at the next exit so I can see not only where the next gas station is, but where the next gas station is after that. (Extremely useful if you're on an eighth of a tank and don't know if you must stop at this exit or if there's another gas station 2 miles down the road.) The voice for GMaps is extremely annoying.
I prefer free of course, but I'm more than willing to pay for a quality app if I can test it out before hand and make sure it does what I need it to do. Ideally I want the following:
Voice programming - I want to be able to say "Go to 1234 Main st" or something similar and it go.
Easy manual programming - I want to be able to easily enter destinations manually.
Trip planning - I want to be able to program multiple destinations. I recently went to Chicago. With my Magellan, I was able to program all the places I wanted to go before hand so I just had to click on the tourist trap I wanted to see and it directed me there.
Voice activation while driving - I drive alone most times. I'd like to be able to not have to take my eyes/attention off the road to search for the closest fast food place or gas station.
Integration with the other parts of the OS - I want it to do the standard things like mute the music when it gives voice prompts and turn it back up when it's done, mute voice prompts when the phone rings, etc. Any ideas on apps that will do all this?

The application was built more or less according to http://code.google.com/android/c2dm/index.html doc, but when register intent is sent from application, Logcat shows this: Unable to start service Intent { act=com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTER (has extras) }: not found I also tried to run chrometophone and jumpnote applications and the result is the same when registring device. Any ideas? Is it possible to test C2DM service from Android emulator?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are building a complex Android application consisting of many screens and workflows spread across many Activities. Our workflows are similar to what you might see on a Bank's ATM machine, for example, there is an Activity to login in that transitions to a main menu Activity which can transition to other activities based on the user's choices. Since we have so many workflows we need to create automated tests that span multiple activities so we can test a workflow from end to end. For example, using the ATM example, we would want to enter a valid PIN, verify that sends us to the main menu, choose withdraw cash, verify that we are on the withdraw cash screen, etc., etc., and eventually find ourselves back on the main menu or "logged" out. We've toyed with the test APIs that come with Android (e.g. ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2) and also with Positron, but neither seem capable of testing beyond the bounds of a single Activity, and while we can find some utility in these tools for some unit testing, they won't meet our needs for testing scenarios that cut across multiple Activities. We are open to an xUnit framework, scripting, GUI recorders/playbacks, etc. and would appreciate any advice.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSorry if this is a bit of a vague question, however im struggling to find a single solid example on how to do unit testing (isolated testing) with Android. So one project contains models and logic, then another project contains tests for said library. There is no front end or UI, so I want to do the bare minimum to just be able to test that my methods all work in isolation.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to test a test app I developed on android 2.2 sdk on my htc phone with Froyo on it (2.2). In the emulator it works fine, when I export as unsigned app and try to install on the phone, it doesn't allow me, just telling me 'application non installed'. The phone has the settings to accept installation of non android application, so I'm not sure why I can't test on it. Is it because it's not signed?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy app (first written for Android 1.6) reads groups and contacts but I have so far only been able to write code for 2.0 that compiles but I have never executed. Since the Contacts API and particularly the way groups work has changed substantially in ways that I haven't quite been able to find out I need to try it on a phone to see how it now works.So is there any way at all I can test contact groups in the emulator? I have looked all over for help on this and all I have been able to glean is that I cannot get groups into the emulator unless I create them in a Google (or other, Exchange?) account then sync with it. However I cannot seem to sync/open an account from my emulator - and this I have read may be impossible as you can only do it from a phone with a valid IMEI.
