Android :: Cheap Embedded Phone - M2M Device?
May 4, 2010
I'm playing around with some ideas and was wondering if anyone knew of an Android-based device that was basically a cell-phone with no screen.
Here's the requirements I'm looking for: - Support GSM - Single SIM slot or eSIM (3G preferred but not required) - Support GPS - Support BlueTooth - Optionally have an accelerometer - No display (this is an embedded device) - Would be willing to provide my own packaging (raw boards would be ok) I've debated taking the guts out of old G1s for this project. But if there is a specific device that meets my needs all the better. If there's any Manufacturers out there that have Android phone "guts" available, let me know too.

Does anyone know of a cheap Android or programmable device that has wifi? I need it for a project for a company that needs a wifi handheld device for the shop floor. Im not too fussed about the language the device uses though Im not really interested in the iTouch as theres no intention to release the app in the app store and I don`t really want to jail break everybodys iTouch. Ideally it would be small , iTouch size for example and relatively cheap $100 or less. Nothing fancy just ability to write a simple UI and have wifi. Voice is not needed.

I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice for my possible plan of grabbing a fairly cheap (under �120 so I think that's about $180) HTC handset, preferably with a good size screen as I like to spend far too long online on my current phone (!), and install Android on it!
So... how easy is this? Is there a recommended phone or small range of phones within my price bracket? And... are there disadvantages, and do I get automatic updates and stuff? I'm a fairly heavy medium-term Linux and Ubuntu user but this is my first adventure with Android!

Is there an app available that allows me to make cheap international calls? So far the only only one ive seen gives you a local access number to dial. But the problem with this is that it uses the inclusive mins from your mobile. Are there any apps that gives cheap rates and uses 3g/WiFi to make the calls?

I'm playing around with an idea in the back of my head, was wondering if there were any Android devices that had touchscreen and wifi - no other requirements necessary. The GiiNii Movit Mini is as close to what I'm looking for as I can find. Are there hardware vendors that make custom Android products such as this? Inexpensive, ARM or MIPS, run Android, touchscreen, wifi, that's it.

Recently a client asked me to make their site "work on smart phones", which normally wouldn't be too much of an issue... However it's a video site, and I have absolutely no idea where to even begin. Right off the bat I'm not even going to consider allowing the site to even function in anything other than Android (Maybe even 2.0+) and iPhone, maybe Blackberry and WinMo. But beyond that... What do I do? I'm looking at using the tag, however I'm unsure what, if any, codecs which phone uses. Is HTML5 even adopted in their browsers yet?
Could someone please point me in the right direction? Am I going about this the right way, using the tag? Or is there some magical html element both iPhone and Android (And BB and WMo) that lets them run video in their native video players (Like on youtube).

I am trying to figure out the best practice of communication between a TabActivity and the child activity embedded in this TabActivity.
In my TabActivity, there is a button. When the button is clicked, I want the child activity embedded in this TabActivity to be updated. I wrote the code like below, and just wonder whether it is a good practice.

I love using the Engadget app on my Desire to keep up with daily news, but no matter what I try I cannot watch the embedded videos within the stories.....
The ones that link to YouTube are fine as you can choose the browser or the YouTube app.
But their native videos don't play for me. I currently get the choice of viewing through double twist or streaming media player, both of which say "Sorry, this video cannot be played".
Anyone any idea what format these endgadget videos are in? And how I can get the engadget app to choose a player capable of playing them?

I have an application that uses the webview to load webpages so user can download media off them, but i get a crash when any sort of popup tries to show (eg from a select box or save password dialog) - the error is that for some reason the webview doesnt provide the new dialog with the application context (even though it as passed to the webview component when it was created).
Is there some method to use to supply the application context to dialogs launched from the webview?

I am using embedded-linux for device which has Arch ARMv5 Speed 266MHZ, vfpu and 32bit bus, 32MB 133 Mhz DDR Ram. can you tell me which windowing system should I use,
1).QT for embedded linux
2). Android.
3). Other!
Well, I am using microwindows for last one year and not satisfied with it as it does not have BSP (Binary Space Partitionin) in its windowing system , No shared memory support for bitmaps. I think Microwindows is just optimized for memory-size not for speed.

So I had several micro-USB sitting around from monoprice (I ordered the wrong cables a year ago, and they happened to be micro at $1 a pop I wasn't so concerned with sending them back) and after shaving the tops down a bit with a dremel (so I could still slide the kb open) I tried them out. I can charge with a wall-to-USB charging base or with the cable plugged into my PC, but I can't use them for any sort of data sync apparently. I'm really wondering if I'm just suffering from badly made cheap cables, or if there's something actually different between these and the cable that came with the phone. Anyone have any idea? Has anyone been using micro USB cables that they found for a good deal online?

I just got my incredible, typing on it as we speak. It's pretty awesome, but the screen puts a red tint thats most visible on grays. The Verizon dude convinced me to get a cheap screen protector, could that be the cause?

Before I even ordered my Incredible I ordered a stand alone battery charger and two extra batteries direct from a China supplier on e bay for $14 total. These batteries are Atomic! I'm getting 50% more running time out of them than the factory battery no lie. The batteries are marked HTC Touch Pro 2 but fit the Incredible also.

Can YouTube videos be played from within an AndroidOS without launching the separate YouTube player? How about WebOS or Blackberry? On the iPhone I can do this with a WebView and the embedded YouTube code and I'm weighing the possibility of porting my app to other mobile platforms.

Looking for a way to integrate full-text search and fast, lightweight data management with your Android applications? The new Perst 4.0 open source, object-oriented embedded database system brings native full-text search capability to Android and builds on this feature to provide a sample search engine application for contact data residing on mobile phones.
To provide search, the database stores an inverse index of keywords, with parsing and stemming of indexed text performed either by user- defined code or by Perst's default simple parser and stemmer. The feature supports logical operators and calculates relevance of search results to a query. The new sample application, ContactsIndex, stores and indexes contact information, and could be extended to provide search capabilities for PDF, word processing, HTML and other stored files. The example applications are included with complete source code in the Perst 4.0 for Java distribution..............

I have an ActivityGroup with an embedded TabActivity and another simple Activity.
The TabActivity has three tabs, each one with a ListActivity.
When I try to start a search from a list (calling onSearchRequested()), I get a WindowManager$BadTokenException.
I've tried requesting focus in the list, but the same error occurred.
