I have an app that runs on a closed network with no Internet access. I connect to it through WiFi. My app also uses Google Maps. Is there a way to make the MapView still pull from my 3G connection while the rest of the app uses the WiFi? The issue is once connected to the WiFi, maps tries to pull from the Internet and can't get there so my MapView is always blank.

I have rooted my DI, and I downloaded the newest WiFi tethering app 2.0.5. I can connect to my droid with my wireless PC, but it always say no internet connection. It shows I'm connected but without internet access.

Also, either way, when I unlock the screen and go into wifi settings, I see that the phone is trying to make a wifi connection, but it never succeeds, even though it's my home network and I'm in the same room as the router. It just states 'Obtaining address.

When wifi is connected both that and the 3G connection shows at the top. So which one is in control per se? And how can it be verified?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI decided to try the WiFi hotspot available through 2.2. GREAT! Actually worked quite a bit better than I thought it would. Only trouble is, ... now I'm back at home, it fails to connect to the home network.
+ Restarting phone
+ Re-entering password
+ Forgetting network + refinding
WiFi sees the network, says "Connecting", comes up "Failed to connect", "Scanning" and loops on that sequence. I know the router's working because this laptop is using it right now
Trying to play animated GIFs on Android here
(see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/809878/android-how-do-a-display-a-large-animated-gif-given-a-url).
It's anything but smooth. On Android 1.5, the Movie.decodeStream()/decodeFile() returns a null. On Android 1.6, with the GIF files I've got, it returns a zero-sized movie with zero duration - clearly not adequate.
The referenced question suggests splitting the GIF into frames (and then rendering these). How exactly do i accomplish that, please? Tried opening one of my GIFs with GNU giflib in Windows. It choked on the very first frame. The GIF itself is all right, all browsers (save Android's) display and animate it fine. Worked with giflib 4.1.4. Not sure what was broken in 4.1.6, but there you go. Next step: build giflib for Android via NDK, somehow integrate with the Bitmap class. giflib it is. In conjuction with Bitmap.copyPixelsFromBuffer. The colors are all askew right now, but the basic design seems workable.
I use HTC Desire (updated to Froyo) and at home Google Maps Navigation works great and I never worry about the data connection because I have a large data allowance each month. But I'm now in Germany for a few days and I don't really want to pay roaming rates. So, I find that I can of course use the hotel wifi to plot the route.
This can work but most of the time it doesn't. The problem is that the route is not downloaded (at least not completely) until the phone has a GPS fix. Usually this happens after I'm out of range of the wifi signal and so I have no route to navigate. Is there a way of downloading the route without needing the satellite fix to validate it? This would make life so much simpler!
I need to split the Android screen into two parts and run 2 applications (app A and app B) simultaneously. App A will run on screen 1 and App B will run on screen 2. Both are visible to the users. I need to implement this thing in the Android Framework. I do not know much about the android framework and this is urgent and should be done on android 2.1. Is this possible, if yes please explain the procedure to achieve this.

I just found after 2 hours of debugging my code for errors that TextUtils.split(String, expression); does not work correctly when I use pipe "|" as the expression. Am I wrong in understanding the method or is this a bug?
It works fine when I give it as a pattern ie., [|].
I also tested it using a few other seperators and they seemed to work fine.
I have an Android TextView displaying some text, and it's multi-line. However, in the text, I sometimes have domain names; how can I stop the TextView from splitting the lines up on the periods in them?
Is there a Unicode non-breaking-period, for example?
So I recently rooted my phone and switched to the Kangerade 1.1 rom running a chevy kernel. I pretty much have no issues EXCEPT for the fact that maps wont function unless I am on wifi. Once I am using 3g I just get data connection lost, and then it loops....I am using version 4.3 of maps, my wife's phone is also rooted with kangerade using a p3 kernel but with maps 4.2 and she gets the same results.

We live in the sticks and we get a bit of a G connection here, maybe 1 bar if we are lucky.
What I've found is that my samsung galaxy S with android 2.1 uses the G connection no matter how bad it is despite a perfectly good wifi connection here.
It's only if the G cononection completely drops and the red no entry sign appears to show us that the carrier isn't available at all that suddenly the phone uses wifi.
Is there a way to change the provider order so that the phone will use wifi before g/3g ?
is there a way to force a connection (http) to go over OTA (Over-The- Air) even if you have a wifi connection?

What I did? I full wiped the phone...and that fixed the wifi issue. But now I have the same problem...I can't connect my phone to wifi anymore!
I could do another full wipe, but this problem would just appear again and again...I googled for some fixes and I found some answers...one of the solutions would be deleting one file (dhct or something) from the phone...the problem is: I don't have that file...
Another (on a youtube video) to download an "hot fix" package with 3 files and place them on the phone...but the link that he gave is broken and I couldn't find those files on the internet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to share my ethernet internet connection on my android 2.2 tablet via wifi.
I know there are various app's on phones that allow you to share your 3g connection but I have not found anything that I can actually install that will create the same sort of functionality on my tablet, most of the ones I've seen on the play store are simple short cuts giving control over the pre-existing wifi hotspot app.
What I need is the wifi hotspot itself, ie the ability to use my tablet as a router/bridge.
I'm developing a C++ application for the android that needs to talk with a server whenever there is an internet connection available. If the internet connection is cut-off the application needs to "sleep" in order to reduce the battery consumption. If the internet connection is back the application should "awake". I'm searching for any kind of event notification available for C++. I don't want to use pooling. I know that in java we receive these notifications from the connectivity service.Can we trap them natively?
