View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm seriously considering buying either an iphone or droid soon, and I was wondering as to the availability of a certain feature of the android os.What I am wondering is if android can recognize a phone number listed on the screen, and automatically offer to dial that number when you tap on it. (Similar to what the iphone does with its "data detectors" feature.)Also, ideally, I'd like to be able to open a spreadsheet, (which would be sort of like an editable contact list) and then be able to tap on any of the phone #s in the app and have the phone dial that number.

Assume the screen is ON all the time... I want to detect kind of USER INACTIVITY (No interaction with app even though the app is in the foreground) and kick start my count down timer.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm developing an Activity that does some of its own state management. I'm trying to differentiate the following onResume cases:
New launch
task switch (home button long-click)
resume after other activity in the same application
wake-up after sleep
orientation change
Is there something in the Activity's intent, or elsewhere, that can help me differentiate these?
For the curious and some context... I'd like to preserve my internal history stack on 4 & 5. On cases 2 & 3, I would preserve the same current page, but erase the history (allow the normal back button functionality to take over at that point). Case 1 would initialize to the activity's internal start page (and can be detected easily enough with some help from ocCreate).
How could I detect that the phone is data roaming ?

I've recorded (amr file) with my phone a conversation in which the one I'm calling dials DTMF tones from his cell and I would like to use the program to detect those tones and that my phone automatically calls the number that he dialed. My problem is I don't know how to use those two programs with the amr file I've recorded. If you need the programs because you haven't downloaded Android code source tell me and I'll send you them

My question is how to I delete or get rid of the current location weather data screen and have only the Corning NY screen when I open the weather app? The data for both is the same but I don't want 2 locations(one named) for the same data.

Weather Face decorates your phone screen with different weather animations, including rain, snow, lightning, cloud, and sunshine. For instance, clouds float on your screen when it is cloudy outside. I have a demo video on Youtube :
I LOVE the beautiful weather widget and the corresponding live wallpaper. My only question is if anyone knows if it does wetaher alerts like the weather channel widget does. I love TWC widget as it has awesome wetaher alert capability along with an easily accessible radar map that's fullly interactive - anything similar on beautiful weather?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to root my phone from stock OTA 2.1 update-1. I've followed all the guides I've been able to get my hands on. The only thing stopping me is that RSDlite is not detecting my phone when it's in Bootloader. Everything on the flash screen says that it's good to go. I've installed all the drivers and the PC does detect the Motorola Flash Device. I tried using 2 different computers, one with XP SP3 and one with Vista (ran as admin), and nothing on both. I've spent hours searching the web for similar problems and solution, I've tried just about everything and I'm about to lose it. Any one else experience something like this? Any tips on something that could fix this issue?

View 13 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to set HTC Weather to just use one fixed location? I see my location frequently changes, even when I'm not moving around and, I bet, each time it senses a new city, it's downloading a new forecast. I don't need GPS weather, I'd just be happy to have 1 fixed location that downloads a forecast every x hours. Can I do that? Also, is there a way to add cities? The city list only has very large cities in it. I'm on Long Island and the forecast by me is about 6 degrees less than NYC. I know on the WM HTC weather, there was a pretty easy way to add cities. Lastly, how do I turn off full screen weather animation? I know I saw that somewhere, but can't find it again now.
