The HTC People app always seems pretty laggy and can take up to a whole minute just to call someone, which it shouldn't since i could do that in 10-15 seconds on even a non-smart phone.So I would like some suggestions - what would people suggest I use for fast contacts?

I keep my contacts on the phone since my SIM space has run out. I tried to use Google contact sync but that brings in all the people I have emailed and is not specific to just phone numbers. I am currently on 1.5 (am using PCCW/Hong Kong) and I see via HTC's website that they have announced a 2.1 OTA upgrade. Before I upgrade, I would appreciate if someone could provide a way for me to backup/restore my contacts should they get wiped out in the upgrade from 1.5 to 2.1
View 1 Replies View RelatedI know that there are loads around but without testing each one it is difficult and those I have tried don;t do what I want.Essentially I need to :
a. define as source folder on the SD card which contains the mp3 files and it should always default to that.
b. Play those files in order.
c. Remember if I stop half way through so that I can, later, continue from that point.
d. Have the usual controls ; Play, stop , next , last, and to be able to drag the time to advance within a single playback.
Looking for some recommendations on some apps please.
1. I'm looking for a contacts app that manages my address book a bit better. I've gotten a bit sick of the default ones on my nexus one and dell streak.
2. RSS reader. Newsrob seems to be misbehaving for me at the moment. All evening I read my feeds and mark stuff read. but when I come back to look at my google reader on a pc the next day everythings marked unread. Is there a better one out there?
Does anybody have any good tip calculator application recommendations? I've been viewing the app postings and people seem to be talking about everything except this one group of applications.

Say I want the alarm to sound of next Thursday at 8:00 (with a text note re what the alarm is for would be really nice) or every June 7th, and a regular 24 hour alarm. On my PC I use Chameleon Clock which I rely on for scheduling. I'd love to find something like that if it's out there.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI really like the built-in calendar app on my new HTC Desire. But there's 3 things that it can't do, and I really need them:
1. I need to be able to set up how the calendar calculates week numbers. I live in Demark and in Europe we don't calculate week numbers the sane way as they do in the US.
2. I need to be able to set up repeated appointments that repeat every second week, or every third day.
3. I really want to be able to set the default reminder time to 'Do NOT remind me'. The built-in calendar app lets me set the reminder value to 'No remind' when I create a new event, but it won't let me set the default value to 'No remind'.So basically I need a calendar app that works precisely like the built-in one, apart from the 3 things mentioned above

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have much experience with Java, and am quickly getting to grips with Android. But I have very little experience with graphics... most of my work has been logical, back end web development. The last time I did any proper screen drawing was in the good old days of Applets (years ago).
I can see that Android has a very complex graphical interface, but I don't know where to start. I've looked at some of the sample apps that come with the SDK, but it's slow progress.
For example, I'm trying to learn by developing a simple rolling ball. Currently I'm using onDraw(Canvas canvas), a paint object, and path.addCircle() to draw a circle, which I then update frequently. However the result is jerky, and slow - I want to see it flying around the screen! Clearly this isn't the right way to go about it.
So two questions I suppose: 1) What graphics tools would you recommend to implement my example? 2) Where can I learn more about the graphics capabilities of android?

View 1 Replies View Relatedwe're looking for high quality developer tools which have been ported & tested for Android. the first is a code correctness tool that will scan our code looking for non-syntactical errors (e.g. thread synch errors, uninitialized vars...). basically a lint- like tool for Android. the second tool we want is a coding style "enforcer" that will fix, or at least report, code segments that do not adher to our stdrd coding styles (e.g. bracing policy, function header commenting etc) the third one is, well, a placeholder for whichever tool you people have found to be of high value in developing your own Android apps...

So after reading many threads on here I am keen to know if you guys would still recommend the DHD. I am currently waiting for t mobile's stock to arrive before they swap my SGS for a DHD. I've played with one for a few mins happened to be a HTC rep in a local phone shop showing it to the staff and I asked for ago which I did but didn't get much time on it. took a few pics (very impressive camera) scrolled around. Seemed sooth even if it has far to many stock apps IMO by the looks of things. Am I still doing the right thing will all the experience you guys now have of it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFor years now I've maintained a Tandy Color Computer Emulator applet on my home page. With the purchase of an Incredible I decided to do a port. Getting it going in Android didn't take long but I'm really surprised how slow it runs. You can literally see the pixels painting. I know there are other successful Android emulators so I must be doing something wrong.
My approach was to use a SurfaceView for rendering. There's a separate thread that runs a virtual 6809 CPU. Whenever that thread updates the emulated video memory, it calls SurfaceHolder.lockCanvas() with a Rect describing the part of the screen requiring a repaint. Then it calls the gfx routines with the resulting Canvas...this is where I did a repaint() in AWT/Swing. The gfx routines are smart enough to just render what's in the clipRect. Perhaps I'm still stuck in AWT but I can't think of any way to make this thing run at an acceptable speed. I tried to coalesce the gfx calls but that didn't work either. Any thoughts?
Currently in an Android application that I'm developing I'm looping through the pixels of an image to blur it. This takes about 30 seconds on a 640x480 image.While browsing apps in the Android Market I came across one that includes a blur feature and their blur is very fast (like 5 seconds) so they must be using a different method of blurring.Anyone know a faster way other than looping through the pixels?
