Android :: Sensor Manager API Measures Steps?
May 26, 2010Is it the SensorManager API that i have to use to measure steps? Any sample code or tutorial?

Is it the SensorManager API that i have to use to measure steps? Any sample code or tutorial?
(sensor Manager is a SensorManager) I'm trying to implement an orientation listener for my program. I declare the listener as a SensorEventListener. The API says I need to pass registerListener a SensorEventListener, Sensor, rate, and handler. What is the handler for?
Also, when I mouse over the error, it insists I use the deprecated version of the method for a SensorListener instead of a SensorEventListener. And this deprecated version doesn't require a handler. Anyone know why?
Is there any API in Andorid that measures the bluetooth strength?

My question is then, why doesn't the getSensorList return for me the light and the proximity sensors?

Sometimes I have to "press" the home icon twice to get the "buzz" and have it move the screen. However the back icon works 99% of the time on the first press. IS there any adjustment I can make or should I bring the phone back. I have had it now for 2 weeks.

View 16 Replies View RelatedI rooted my phone last night and have installed a ROM manager and a file manager. I dislike the ROM that I have on my phone right now (I believe its plainjanev2 or something titled like that). I have found other ROM's that I want to download and have tried but they don't work. What am I doing wrong? Can someone give me the steps (and how to complete the steps) or send me to a detailed video/forum that will show me how to do this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI rooted my phone with the help from this forum. All went well. My phone started off a stock unmolested 2.1 version with update 1 and ESE81 and in about an hour, I was wirelessly tethered to my laptop and on the internet. A lot of this was copied and pasted from Fabolous' threads, so props to him. Before you do anything, make sure to copy your contacts to your SD card and anything else you are afraid to loose. The first section won't erase anything, but second section will. Some of these steps may not be needed, but these are just the steps I took, and it worked.
These are the steps:
1.) Download SPRecovery_ESE81.sbf to your C: root directory (C:)
2.) Download md5sum
3.) Place md5sum in c:windowssystem32.....
So I am trying to flash the WW rom and i can flash it just fine and everything works like it should but i had to wipe obviously to flash it, when i do a Nand Restore, it restores to the EE 3.0 rom i'm coming from. Can someone tell me when i'm supposed to restore? Should I wipe and then flash the rom, and THEN restore? Or should I wipe restore then flash the rom? I'm confused on the process i guess.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I rooted a few days ago using Universal 1 Click Method and flashed Xxtrasense ROM immediately (in step 4 of the instructions below).
Step 1) download and install this APK:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8699733/erisone010.apk - VERSION 0.1.0
Step 2) Run, read disclaimer, press button
Step 3) Reboot, once rebooted your phone should have Amon's recovery. Yay.
Step 4) Use the recovery to flash rootme.zip that is now on your SDCard, or the custom rom of your choice.
Step 5) Go into settings, and turn usb debugging on. After you have root, please uninstall this app.
I want to try new ROMs and have read through a number of threads but its only confused me more on the next steps. Questions are:
1. Do I need to do a NAND or NAND+ext backup (I've done a NAND back up shortly after flashing the Xtrasense ROM)?
2. Is Titanium Backup the only way to get my Apps and data transferred to any new ROMs I flash?
3. At what point is a dalvik wipe required?
If someone is able to provide a step-by-step outline (similar to jcase's 1-click eris root noted above).
What steps do i need to follow to connect my phone to the computer?
i want to access my SD card.
the only disk that came with the phone is VZ access manager but when i installed it i could not locate the SD card.
