Android :: Tech Geek On BBcodes Required
Mar 22, 2010
I run a small phpbb3 forum and have been racking my brains and Google for months trying to work something out.All these types of forums can play embedded videos, which usually have the bbcode tags (youtube)video(/youtube) and they play perfectly on a pc and on most new phones that support streaming media.I wanted though, to embed some of these mp3 player widgets to showcase a few playlists. The way I'm doing it at the moment is to put a section of HTML code containing the mp3 player widget directly into a post, which works fine on a pc. On a phone however, all thats visible is the HTML code.
Given that its not the phone, as it plays embedded streaming video from youtube, I'm presuming that theres a vital step that I'm missing somewhere to allow a phone to play an embedded widget containing streaming mp3s.
Apologies in advance for this not being a direct Android question, but if anyone can help,

Last night and met a lady with a android phone. I asked if her android market was working? and the funny thing was on her non SE phone she had no problems downloiding any thing where as on my X10 I cant download a thing from the market, why is that?
Im trying not to be negitive so please forgive me if I sound that way.
When I call SE support line they are not very helpful with anything, It feels like they dont want to help you or they dont know how to help you.
Many times I call SE support only to turn around and call my provider to figure out a problem

I am a Windows nerd. What I will be using the phone for:
-> Calendering, Contact Management, Outlook 2010 syncing, light email and texting, and few phone calls.
-> Printing to networked printer (wlan)
-> SSH to home computer when I am away. (maybe VPN as well).
-> managing ms office docs, pdfs and printing them to a networked printer (wlan)
-> Change the device's mac address to connect to wifi network.
-> very little "internet browsing."
-> t-mobile
-> some type of "file management" / "file browsing" is a must!
-> keepassdroid + browsing banking sites

This doesn't have much to do with Android per se, but can anyone recommend me some great tech podcasts? Maybe even an Android-focused one too.

problem: server (web server) wants to send data( or some information) to mobile client (android based phone). means simply notify to start work, then mobile start working on specific application. i would like to do a SMS from server to mobile, to start working. buts its not the best idea. as we can assign too an IP to android mobile phone in case of WiFi or USB connectivity. but phone will use GPRS or GSM, so there is no unique IP of Mobile so that we can access mobile phone using Socket Programing.

Ok so this poll will determine which carrier has more issues with service, like towers down, crappy audio service,crappy devices provided through them,and just how many times do you actually end up calling for issues with your phone or carrier service issues? for example...If your att click on att on the poll and then on the thread type in about twice a month or maybe once in 2 to three month,whatever.

I just got my refurb of my palm pre and she was excited about the Evo and I said too bad Tampa has no 4g. She said the clearwire techs are working right now but the reason it was not announced is that their are some endangered birds nests in some of the towers preventing them from doing anything until they naturally leave. She said Wimax should be running in Tampa by the end of the summer.

I've looked at the tech specs of the Nexus One at the google store -Nexus One Phone - Feature overview & Technical specifications
I'm not that geeked up so, I'm wondering if it looks like the Nexus has anything on the Droid?
The 4 gb micro sd seemed pretty underwhelming to me. I know it's expandable to 32 but still...

I have the OTA update and have had several issues that through this forum I've tried to correct but it just keeps getting more frustrating every day. I was on vacation and was using it as an alarm only to find that if you don't turn off and on the alarm every day, it won't work (and I had it set to S-S). I miss calls all the time, all over town, going straight to voice mail. The dialer lags all the time (except when I accidentally hit the wrong number, then it works like a champ ). My voice mail programed pin hesitates every time, not like the lighting speed it used to run on 1.5; so much so I'm not sure it will go through sometimes. My email notifications stutter or doubles for the same email. The phone gets very warm when I haven't used it for several hours and within a good cell signal area so I know it shouldn't be working to get a signal.
With all that said, I really liked the phone on 1.5 and would kill to get it back to that but I don't see that as a viable solution.I stopped into one of the local stores and told the guy I wanted my phone to work like it used to.He said I needed to take it to one of the tech support shops and be prepared to leave it for several hours for it to be checked.So here is my question (finally).I want to take it to the shop in case it is a bad handset but I need to clear the phone of sensitive information first.I get all my work emails on my phone, many of them sensitive information, along with web site access to my company's internal system. I need to make sure that all that information is cleared from the phone before I take it in.

I talked with a VZW tech just a few minutes ago.I described her the silent bug problem on 2.1.She said she is a Droid user and her daughter has an Eris.She said she had frequent freezeup on her Droid and now she reccomends to do one reboot every day. She says she had not had a problem since she has been doing this.She made a mark on my file about my complain and recommended to try the once-a-day reboot for a week. If the problem persists, the store will issue a new phone.I will try this reboot thing each night, will see how it goes.I am a bit worried about the exchange they perhaps would give me a refurb, and what is the guarantie that I won't end up with the same problem.

I've got an old i.Tech Virtual Keyboard I'd like to use with my Galaxy S.I downloaded KeyPro from the Market and jumped through the hoops.However, after selecting my VKB as input method for a memo KeyPro crashed when I punched the first key. It subsequently crashed whenever I tried to use the keyboard, change any settings, and even when I tried to uninstall it (which eventually worked, thank God).Does anyone else have any experience with this?Have I been unlucky or is this just a spectacularly shoddy piece of programming?

Is it not possible to organize bookmarks into folders, eg News, Tech, Accounts, Retailers? Surely there is a means by which this can be done with the stock browser, no?

Hi, I have a "Remote Service", which I am starting at Bootup of the emulator. I want my service to keep running as a foreground service. For this, I am calling startForeground() from my service's onStartCommand(). I don't want any notifcation from the service. But startForeground() needs a notification object as its second parameter. How can I set my service as a foreground service without using any notification.

I am in celebration so I decided to share my technological milestone. I just had a bluetooth stereo installed in my car. I now play all my music from my Nexus one. I removed all my CDs and put them in storage. The hands free function is excellent! It works far better than my expensive phone system at work.
When I had a bluetooth ear piece it was a drag to use so I gave up. This is nothing like that. I would rather talk with the hands free through the stereo than talk directly on the phone. Music pauses when calls are made or received. Love this thing! Probably there are many people here who are rolling their eyes because they did this ages ago.

I'm looking for a Twitter app that doesn't require a Twitter account. I like to follow certain people like Conan O'Brien, CEOSteveJobs, music groups, etc. and I'd like to not have to sign up for Twitter just to do it. I know I could make RSS feeds and subscribe that way, but it's kind of a pain to do on the phone itself.

I'm playing around with the new AppWidget API, I get the impression from the docs that I don't need an android:configuration attribute in my AppWidgetProviderInfo xml resource. Curiously though, when I try to add my AppWidget to the home screen, I just get a black textview that reads "Problem loading widget".

My question in a nutshell is: Is there a correlation between the number of decimals used in GPS co-ordinates and the accuracy of the location?
Right now I happen to be working with the Android SDK but I'm sure this question can apply to many other geolocation SDKs. Basically, Android returns GPS coordinates with up to 14 digits. That seems like overkill in most situations. Lets say I needed accuracy down to about an area of 10 feet by 10 feet. How many decimals do I really need to worry about? The use-case that I'm looking for is I want to know if a person is north or south of a particular latitude - how many digits would I need to store in the database and how many digits would I need to compare?

In my Android app, I always get VerifyErrors! And I cannot figure out why. Whenever I include a external JAR, I always get VerifyErrors when I try to launch my app (except for once, when I included Apache Log4j.) I usually get around this by taking the source of the library and adding it to my project, but I am trying to put the GData client library (http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client/). I can get this in source, but it's dependencies (mail.jar, activation.jar, servlet-api.jar) I cannot, so I get verify errors. I would like to get to the root of this problem once and for all. I looked on the internet, but they all seem to talk about incomplete class files? which I do not know of.

It would be nice if you could tell me all the software required to make an application for Android. Much better if provided link to where to download. I have tried searching on Google, but failed hopelessly. Downloaded Android SDK, Java Development Kit 6 and also Eclipse, but I failed to run Eclipse.

The package installer looks to take up a good amount of space when installing applications. We've published a very large game (ProjectINF - 6mb). And it looks to be taking up a good amount of space during the install process, to the point that we have a lot of users emailing us with complaints/requests to "fix it".
From what we've seen, it looks to take about 22mb of free space to install a 6mb apk. While I can imagine taking double or so for unpacking and temp locations, almost 4x the size seems a bit high. After an install with 22mb free, the device has 16mb free (which makes perfect sense). Users also seem to be getting errors on the market when trying to install with less than that amount of space (with no real clear error message, just "Install Failed".

Android developing and want to do things ok so I've started adding hardware requeriments to my app manifest. The problem is that I cant set the property <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.wifi" android:required="false"></uses- feature>. I've been searching and found that this was introduced in API level 4 so I set this requeriment to my manifest also but eclipse stills returning: "error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'required' in package 'android'"
