Or any other application, why do tehy require GPS permission for that matter? I am slightly concerned how certain apps want to know all about us. So what's the deal with this one and others? And what's new in yesterdays update? I can see absolutely no difference.

Like the title says why are apps allowed to read the contents of files on the SD card without asking permission? Apps have to ask to read SMS, Calendar, and everything else. It seems like a huge security hole to me.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI can't get a fully functioning data connection on my Galaxy S through my current SIM card. I can browse with Opera (which doesn't seem to care what the APN settings are) but nothing else works, (unless I get a wifi connection, which works fine). The problem may or may not disappear when I move countries soon (to Indonesia) but I'd like to understand what's going on.
I bought it in Singapore - it's got a SingTel setup (sticker on the back, boot screen, links on home) but it's supposed to be unlocked (and SingTel say they sell them unlocked too). A guy at the Samsung service center in Singapore said it was "locked" for other countries though because they don't yet have the Galaxy S - but once phone companies have the right settings for the phone it should be fine. I used it with a different Singapore phone company (StarHub) with a data plan for a couple of days that worked fine. I browsed and used the Google Maps app, no problem.
Then the problem. I came to Malaysia a week ago and bought a Maxis SIM card. At their service center they entered the APN settings (they already sell the Galaxy S), and the internet worked when I tested it on a few pages. 30 min later I tried again and got nothing, and it didn't come back. I returned to the service center, they made small changes to the settings, and it worked again... for a few minutes only. Then I discovered that I can browse in Opera - even if I use dummy APN settings (random numbers in one field and everything else blank or default).
However after I restarted the phone again, I couldn't repeat the success. I stopped unneeded apps, I uninstalled NimBuzz, I tried restarting over and over... but I get no connection other than with Opera. I've tried other internet apps (Maps, sync in GTasks, OkCupid, NimBuzz) and none work. Any clues as to what's going on?
I had recently switched over from HTC's stock browser to Opera Mobile browser and I'm loving it. It's much smoother and just feels better but something that was really well done in the stock browser is Google's site; really easy to use and looks and feels great. However, in Opera Mobile, it's a really bad, watered-down version that just looks ugly. Is there a way to get the good Google site to work on Opera Mobile?
HTC Sensation
I currently have a Nexus s, and ever since I upgraded to ICS I am no longer able to view flash content with Opera Mobile. It works fine with the stock browser.

What exactly does "it" do and how exactly do I get "it" to do"it"?I had to re-read that to make sure "it" made sense.

I searched on the internet and it seems that people from my country, with the same phone model and operator are getting the official update... But I still don't have it in my PC Companion... Do I have to return to the stock version of Gingerbread to get the update? If so, do I have to change the kernel back to stock too?

When I have WiFi enabled and for some reason my Wifi disconnects (for example I go out of reach), my phone keeps asking me, each and every time, if it's allowed to use Mobile Data. if I don't answer, my mobile data does not connect thus I can't recieve any mails etc which is highly annoying.
This is the exact error/popup message that I get:
Data connection change. WLAN is unavailable, try to connect to mobile network?
I've googled this exact phrase, but I get 0 results. How can I prevent my phone from asking if it's allowed to use mobile data?
I already searched in the Internet an answer to my problem, but unfortunately I have not found a solution for my issue. I even wrote in this case on the official forum (groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/android-developers), Unfortunately, the moderators could not cope with this problem. Below I describe the problem:
I made an application that works fine on Android 4.1, which is why I reject the problems associated with the lack of "something". For now, it seems that in newer versions of android is a bug, because after updating to Android 4.3+ (API 18+) my app shows the message:
Quote:/cache/recovery/command: open failed: EACCESS (permission denied)
My application is an system application, so the file '*.apk' was put in directory '/system/app/' together with a suitable file access permissions (chmod), so that the 'context.getApplicationInfo().flags & ApplicationInfo.FLAG_SYSTEM' is equal 1.
Because the application uses the method 'RecoverySystem.installPackage(...)' I added permissions:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_CACHE_FILE SYSTEM" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.REBOOT" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DELETE_CACHE_FILE S" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMP LETED" />
More than the required minimum, because among others my application uses the method 'RecoverySystem.verifyPackage(...)'
Also, this method had problems after updating to Android 4.3+, but these problems have been solved after adding one of (or all) permissions:
Quote:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORA GE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STO RAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_ST ORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FIL ESYSTEMS" />
I think that one of the possible reasons may be bug in the 'bootable/recovery/recovery.c', but I can not find any confirmation.
For debugging purposes, I wanted to have a couple of mp3 files located somewhere "in" my android emulator. Is there anyway to directly push files from my OS file system to the storage system of android? If so, which directory does android keep audio files?if not, how can I access an SD card via emulator?[update2]: The problem in update1 solved. Should use adb push.[update1]: I followed kgiannakakis's advice to create an sdcard for my avd. However, I got Permission denied error when I try to create new directory inside it.
$ cd sdcard
$ ls
LOST.DIR
$mkdir musics
mkdir failed for musics, Permission denied
$ su mkdir musics
su: uid 10016 not allowed to su
I am developing a few mobile apps for different platforms including Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Android and Symbian S60.I want my mobile apps to have the capability of checking for updates before starting and in case a new version is available, prompt the user to upgrade. Moreover in certain cases (like security patches), the user must be forced to update or the app won't work.Surely I can cook some code to achieve the task but I was wondering if there are already existing framework to serve the purpose so that I don't have to re-invent the wheel and test all over?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I go to gmail in Opera Mini 5, I am presented with a webpage that is "basic" (for lack of a better word). When I go to gmail in the stock browser or Dolphin, I get an "enhanced" version of gmail. It has tabs across the top and is quicker to navigate around.Is there a way to get this enhanced version when using Opera Mini? Hopefully I am clear enough on the differences.

T-Mobile have finally released their HTC Sense update for the desire this morning. I've been waiting months for this. Everything seemed to go fine on the update, it auto backed up everything to the sd card and on updating all apps were displayed on the home screens as before. I have a problem now though - my internet browser keeps crashing when loading pages. It displays most of the page and reaches about 95% but then closes back to the home screen. I haven't done much to the phone other than installing apps and it generally worked before the update. Using webkit 3.1 browser and tried pages such as failblog, gizmodo and android forums. Any others with this problem?

View 49 Replies View RelatedI am very interested in getting an android phone soon but I need to use a certain browser which for some reason is the ONLY mobile browser that works with my home security cameras.I have tried them all (opera,skyfire,iris etc) the only one that works, and works well, is opera mini 3 or mini 2.4.
Any newer versions of opera mini don't work. Go figure. So far I have used it only on windows mobile 6.0
If Opera mini 5 works on the android platform, do you think earlier versions,IE. 3.0 or 2.4 would also work? does it have to be downloaded as an app or can I install the version I have saved (it is not available from opera anymore}

Sorry if this should be somewhere else, but I'm have an X with the leaked 2.2 on it. I've heard about the Skype Mobile update but it's not showing up in my downloads. Wasn't sure if it's a delay or an issue in the fact that I have the leaked 2.2 version on my phone. I can't find it in the Market and I can't find a barcode to compare it to either.
