Oct 13, 2009Is 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.

Jun 19, 2010I have a need to classify the device on first run to set some default settings for my games. This is my first time doing this and I've already hit some snags as to how to handle such a thing.
Basically I want to figure out if I can run the game with full quality everything on, which would be for the following phones: Nexus One Droid Incredible EVO X10 Maybe devour, haven't tested Any other snapdragon or cortex/pvr device
Everything else with a GPU gets low quality settings Anything without a GPU gets low quality plus a warning saying that the game will not perform adequately on their device
Ideally, I would retrieve some information like:
CPU = MSM7200, MSM7600, CortexA8, etc.. GPU = MSM7200, PVRSGX530, etc.. - OR - CPU speed = 378Mhz or 600Mhz, or 1000Mhz GPU max = GLES 2.0 or GLES 1.1, etc
but of course that's not really available as I only have a few pieces of information in android.os.Build, which mostly are:
Build.BOARD (IE trout) Build.DEVICE (IE dream) Build.MODEL (IE T-Mobile G1) and then whatever is in /proc/cpuinfo which I could fetch easily through either Java or native.
Examples on the end.
So here are the 3 approaches I was hoping to try:
1) Benchmarking - Run a simple test for 2 seconds and ballpark the raw cpu power from that. Pros - easy to implement, fairly reliable Cons - If it happens to run during a high-load moment on the phone (which can last for several seconds) it will be very far off and will misclassify devices. 2) Use a really big list of DEVICE or MODEL names and check against that list. Pros - It'll work Cons - The list is already over 60 entries and is growing at an incredible rate. It would be very hard to keep it current and keep all the variants straight 3) Pull some raw info out of linux and use that. Pros - Most detailed info available Cons - Can't find things like raw CPU Mhz, OpenGL version support, etc..

Android :: Determine If Running On Rooted Device
Jul 9, 2009My app has a certain piece of functionality that will only work on a device where root is available. Rather than having this feature fail when it is used (and then show an appropriate error message to the user), I'd prefer an ability to silently check if root is available first, and if not,hide the respective options in the first place.

Mar 26, 2013When I get handed a new and previously unknown Android device (typically from a minor player), is there a way to figure out which components it is made of, such as the SoC, the flash chip, the RAM type etc. (Assuming noone else has posted the info of cause)?
In other words are there any tools (other than a screwdriver) for finding this out directly from the device, preferably without rooting (as some of this info may be needed to pick a rooting method...)?

Dec 18, 2012I'm asking this because HBO Nordic which recently became available in Scandinavia won't allow me to use my rooted ASUS TF101 for streaming. The HBO Nordic app says "Service is not available on this device because it has been modified."
I'm thinking one of two options might work:
1. Revoke one or more permissions
2. Modify build.prop
Permissions list can be seen here: [URL] .....
I should add that HBO Nordic works on my Galaxy Nexus which is currently unrooted but has an unlocked bootloader.

Jan 29, 2010I just recently started using pdanet when my high speed internet connection at home was having issues. Oddly i found it to be very fast and work pretty flawlessly from my droid. My question is during the summer i have a 2nd home which has no option for high speed connections, but does get 3g Verizon. I mostly would use my laptop for reading emails and teaching online classes through my college. Has anyone on Verizon ever had issues using bandwidth through a tethered device as i described? I know there is this on going battle of whether our unlimited plans are truly unlimited or not. I would not use massive loads of data but i do not want to incur problems with my service either. Love to hear your opinions.

Android :: Way To Determine When App Is Being Finalized
Mar 21, 2010I posted a question yesterday about determining when an app is being finalized vs destroyed for screen orientation change. Thanks to the answers I received I was able to resolve my problem with the screen orientation change. However, I am still running into a roadblock.
This app I am working on logs into a website with an HttpClient. As long as the app remains in memory the HttpClient will retain the cookies from logging in. However, once it is killed, it would need to log in again.
My question: How can I determine when the app is being killed from memory so I can set a boolean to false telling the app it has been removed from memory so the next time it starts it will read this and determine is must log in again? Or is it possible to serialize an HttpClient and put that in the savedInstanceState bundle? May extract the cookies from the client and put those in the savedInstanceState bundle? Is there something I'm completely missing here maybe?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Way To Determine User Identity
Oct 12, 2010I'm looking for a way to determine user identity so I can globally track game scores off phone.IMEI provides identity of the phone - not effective if phone is on- traded or upgraded by individual. USIM provides identity of phone carrier subscriber - assumes device is phone, and currently has a SIM card.I'd like to be able to provide continuity as a user upgrades to a new device. And I dislike being forced to create an account on each global scoring system, so I don't want to force that on my users. And my end user experience with OpenFeint leaves me disinclined to use it.It doesn't need to be bullet proof. But it does need to be hassle free for my users.Is there any other identifier on an Android device that I can use to link data more cleanly with the current owner? And how would I get hold of that identifier? I'm thinking something like the user's Google account .. or similar

Android :: Best Way To Determine If There Is Internet Connection Is Available
Nov 11, 2010i have this android application that requires to load data from a remote server via the internet. this update-functionaliy obviously requires the device to not only be connected to some kind of network, but also to the internet.so: is want to schedule the update-service to some date and when it starts, it should determine whether it actually CAN reach the target server or not. therefore, a simple "is the device connected to wifi?" does not suffice, as the device may be connected to a wireless network that does not offer internet access. something like a PING is required.whats the easiest / best way to determine, if there is an internet connection is available i.e. server is reachable?

Feb 22, 2010I have implemented a BroadcastReceiver which is triggered by the AlarmManager. The AlarmManager is initialized on BOOT_COMPLETED. So i have to declare the receiver in the manifest.
My problem is that i want the BroadcastReceiver only to do something when none of my own activities are in the foreground (aka the user is not interacting with my application). I pull information from a remote server and don't want to notify the user if he is currently in my application anyways.
So far i have not managed to find a way to determine if my application is in the foreground. Is there a way to do such thing? The ActivityManager tells me if my application is running but not whether it is in the foreground.
