Android :: RAC Traffic Application - Managed To Use Alternate Route
Oct 18, 2010
I'd just like to sing the praises of the RAC Traffic app. It's bloody useful, especially for those who have a commute along the British motorways. Last week, I set off towards the M40 in Warwickshire and hit a bit of traffic. Unusual for 7:35am along that route. The traffic started building up and I started to panic in-case I was late for work. So, I got the Wildfire out, loaded the RAC Traffic app and had a look. 90 minute delays on the M40 Southbound. As I was going North, I stayed in the traffic jam. Needless to say, where the roundabout was that split the North and South traffic there was absolutely no traffic going my way.
Extremely useful as I stopped panicking and just listened to Last FM (via Bluetooth). It happened again this weekend, too! We were going on a trip (around 45 minute drive) and we hit traffic. Got the phone out, looked at the traffic, and managed to use an alternate route through the residential areas using my SatNav. I'd strongly recommend this application to anyone who has to do a bit of driving/has a lengthy commute.

I'm wondering if there's an app out there that can track traffic patterns/route times. I know that those Runners apps. can track speed/time to destination, but I'm interested in being able to track which highways/roads have the most/least amounts of traffic on which days and at which times, or which roads cause you to wait the longest at certain lights, so that I can know in advance (the app. would alert me which route to take on which day according to data collected over time). I've always been kind of fascinated by traffic patterns, but I'm also a fairly focused driver, so I don't generally look at times it has taken me on different days. You can feel like taking a back way one day, but does it really save you any time with all the lights you hit instead?

Looking through the searches I can't seem to find anyone who has asked this question before and maybe this is being addressed with the 2.1 update. When I'm in the Google Maps application and I've entered my start and end point the route it give me is on a toll road or a highway I know to be very slow because of traffic. I know that when I'm using my computer for directions I can drag the line to add a via point / alternate route. Is there a way to do this in the current Google Maps on the HTC Droid Eris?

I was playing with Google Maps after the 2.1 update and on one occasion for a trip a screen came up that listed (3) different routes with the total miles and time for each route. One was for I295, one for I95, and one was for US202. Since then I can't seem to replicate that screen. Any answers? Suggestions? UPDATE: Found the answer. After selecting Navigate for a route, click Menu and a screen will come up with (3) symbols on the bottom. Left most one is the Symbol for Navigate, the symbol with a couple of arrows is the one to PRESS. This will give alternate route info that you can select. UPDATE AGAIN When I tried again, the option I mentioned above was grayed out and no longer works. I'm not sure what is going on.

I have a specific 3G Simcard (specific APN) that can access to my network. I would like to share my 3G connection through wifi (for example)
After some tests, I can see that there is no network bridging between my 3G interface and my wlan0 interface.
So if I understand correctly, I need a rooted phone to do that ? ("route add" command line etc...)
Of is there an easiest way to bridge the traffic between two interfaces on an Android OS ?

Are there any applications that shows exactly what applications or services that uses 3g traffic? My Magic uses pretty much 3g traffic, it looks like it updates every half hour/hour.

I am looking for a traffic reporting app so that when I am on the road, I can report traffic conditions from my phone. There are several available to see traffic conditions, but I can't seem to find any that allow me to report issues.

Been searching for the life of me for an app (or some way in Google Maps) to go to a spot on the map and draw a line down the street along a certain route and store the run to My Maps. Am I missing something?

I work with a cable company and every morning I am handed 40 addresses to go to throughout the day. I see everyone else in the office with map books and photo copiers, but I know there must be a way to plan my route with GPS and an Android app. I use google maps all the time, along with google navigator. I need to find an app that I can enter a bunch of addresses into, and it finds a route, and has a GPS interface, or at least gives me the best order of addresses so I can then plot them into GPS separately.

I've got a Nexus S running 4.0.4 and the emulator running 4.1.2. I'm experiencing the exact same thing on both:
I have two exchange accounts configured in the EMAIL application. When I view the unified inbox and compose a new email, I am unable to select the non-default FROM address (clicking the FROM address does nothing). In order to send an email from the non-default, I have to enter the inbox for that account THEN compose a new email - requires several more clicks than necessary.
I have asked several friends and some say they do have this option - however they are all on carrier customized roms.

I'm using an autocomplete box, with suggestions provided by a SimpleQueryAdapter.Not sure if relevant, but only difference I see is that, both in the adapter constructor, as well as in runQuery(), I use a cursor returned by SQLiteDatabase#query obtained via an SQLiteOpenHelper instance.Should I be using on these cursors or not?If I don't use managed cursors, then I get "leak found" warnings ("database was created [sic] but never closed").

I've got a database. In its "tags" column, rows can have a combination of multiple values "A, B, C"--such that: row 1 has "A" row 2 has "A, C" row 3 has "B, A" and so on, in various permutations. I am trying to implement search using a managedQuery such that I can return a cursor that contains rows with one or more values in the query. For example, if the user enters "C, A" for a search, s/he should get all rows that have A, C, or A and C. I'm splitting the user query on the comma (",") character, and the final call is as follows (parameters replaced by actual values):
mActivity.managedQuery("content_uri", [id, title, tags], "title LIKE ? OR tags LIKE ?", [%A% OR %C%, %A% OR %C%], "title ASC")
Even though there are rows in the database that contain A, C, or A and C--the managedQuery returns nothing. Thankfully, if the query is for "A", or for "C", the appropriate rows with "A" or "C" or "A and C" are returned. It's just that a query with more than one search term returns nothing. What am I doing wrong here? My guess is that %A% OR %C% is incorrect logic, but why?

Has anyone managed to get the photoshop app on their tattoo yet?I have been looking and it still is not in android market on the tattoo. I looked on the adobe site to see I could download it from the website onto my computer as I have done for some other apps that are not in the market. Not there they just direct to the android market.I then found the adobe android app forum and asked about it saying that I wanted it for the tattoo. I had a reply that it is compatible with tattoo and that I should get it from the android market. I replied to that saying that it was not there and could they get it put in.No response yet and it has been a week. I will try again soon but just wondered if anyone had found somewhere else to get it?

Yesterday after turning on wi-fi on my EVO 3D, there was a system update notification. Yes, it was the long awaited ICS. Since it was very late I didnt play around it with it till today. When i did, i noticed that play store wont update my apps anymore due to 921 error. Quick google search suggested that i delete cache and reinstall app. Well, i managed to remove the app somehow (even though i got "was not removed successfully message"), because whenever I press the Play Store icon, the message "the linked program is no longer installed on your phone" appears. I have no clue how to get this back. To be honest i dont understand how a user can be allowed to remove such a vital app...

I just bought a Telus HTC Hero, which the seller had unlocked. I intend to use this phone with another carrier, Bell. After spending a few hours at Bell customer service, they finally managed to get the 3G data working (for weather, email etc.). However, the browser does not work, neither does the Market.
What seems to be causing the problem is that this phone is MASSIVELY tweaked (appears massive to me probably because I'm not that big on tweaking and don't know about the Android OS in general) by the previous owner who only had it for a few days. The Bell customer service person told me that they switched over a couple of other HTC devices from Telus that were NOT tweaked and the data works perfectly.
All I want is for the phone to be in original factory settings, with original ROMs, firmwares, software, etc. etc. Just looking at the whole bunch of different files that this guy had on the 2GB "gold" memory card made my head spin. He attempted to explain to me with all the "updates" and fancy "roms" and "roots" and crap that I didn't understand nor do I want to spend the time to learn.
I understand that a lot of people buy android phones because they love tweaking but I am not really into all that... I just wanted the phone for the form factor and the functionality and I don't want to worry about optimizing and whatnot. So my question is: is there any way to get the phone back to the most original possible software condition? I just want it "clean." Can I go ahead and wipe everything that is on the 2 GB card? What do I do? I performed a hard reset and it took me to some weird startup screen and I chose the first option which is like reboot now (there were also a bunch of other options including apply update.zip or something)... it still gave me the same MoDaCo build.
I can provide any information but I would really appreciate any help in restoring my seemingly very tweaked phone to original, factory settings, so it could be like any other phone being sold by Telus other than the fact that it is unlocked.

I keep getting emails from people and companies wanting to release my Android app on various alternative markets, and often they want me to send them (or upload on their website) my apk. What are the risks involved with this, how much can someone reverse engineer my app from the apk? How many other developers release their app on places that aren't the android market? Is it a fairly common practice?

I'm extremely agitated that Gameboid won't play Golden Sun 2; the only reason I bought the app was to beat this game. But I guess it's partially my fault since I should have checked beforehand.
Anyways, that leaves me with the question of what to do. Is there any other emulator, free or paid, that exists for the V1.6? Anything at all?
