I'd like to know if there is a way to get the elapsed time since the phone was unplugged from AC supply. I know that I can register a receiver to catch battery events - but this just works if my service is running already when the status changes. In my case I assume that the application is started when the AC supply was already plugged out before and I then want to retrieve the time.

I want to develop a game, so I need to know elapsed time at lots places in my game. For example, to measuring FPS. I see there is some example use "System.currentTimeMillis" to measure elapsed time. But I see the warning on document: http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-TW/reference/java/lang/System.ht... "This method shouldn't be used for measuring timeouts or other elapsed time measurements, as changing the system time can affect the results." So, if this method should not be used for measuring elapsed time, then what will be suitable?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am writing a app for which i need to display the Time elapsed when user presses a button in UI screen .
So please guide me in writing the code in Android. I need to display the time in seconds, mins and hours.
So I've been struggling with this and I am not sure why because it should be simple, but for some reason I just can not get my head around it !!
I am developing a game and when the user saves their game, I write out the last time I checked their stats using System.currentTimeMillis(). Then when they load in the game I want to see how many total seconds have elapsed since it was last saved. Naturally I thought of getting System.currentTimeMillis() and then deducting my saved value and then converting that into seconds using this :=
long timePassed = System.currentTimeMillis() - lastCheck; int seconds = (int) ((timePassed / 1000) % 60);
But on each load the seconds keep altering, but not within the right bounds. For example on one load it comes as 59 seconds, then it showed 23 seconds etc. Obviously my algorithm is slightly wonky but I can't work out why.
Could some one please elaborate where I am going?
My Dad is looking into buying my Asus TF101 off me to use as an in-car navigation and entertainment system.
One thing I would like to try and do for him is set up something that will turn the tablet off automatically after the car is turned off. The tablet will be permanently connected to the 12V cigarette lighter socket via car charger. I currently use Tasker to automate many things on my phone and the tablet, and any experience in using it to turn a device off say 10 minutes after the charging source is removed (car turned off).
Right now my phone says 2.5 hours since unplugged, but I unplugged it at noon and it's currently 4pm. I never plugged it back in or reset it, so I'm a little confused.

I really really really want a kindle 2 reader, but it isn't my birthday until December, so I've downloaded the kindle for Android application to my Sony Ericsson X10 Experia, I've only downloaded one book so far, but I read it within a day, I noticed at the end of the book that it said "quick read". Are all the books supplied quick reads? Is this the same on the Kindle reader? If this is the case I won't be buying one, I want the full version of the books!

A pc puts out 500mA through usb as most of you know and I find it takes awhile to charge this phone through my pc. My pc is also in the basement while my room is 2floors above that and I generally like to charge my phone next to my bed while I sleep. How many amps does the ac wall charger put out? Also I have a usb power supply thing that puts out 5volts at 2amps. Would this be too much for the phone/battery and kill it?

what is the output specs on the HTC Eris power supply/charger? (volts,amps)
I'm wondering if anyone is aware of an app that will shut off my alarm clock if I wake and unplug my phone from the charger, then reset it for the following day. I almost always wake before my alarm, and use the alarm in case I oversleep. Would be nice if I didn't have to hear it go off a half hour later.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo, I upgraded to 2.1 a few months ago. Everything seemed fine. Data works, can connect to my comp (Win 7) to transfer files no prob, bluetooth/WiFi/GPS all worked well. But about 3 or 4 weeks ago my data turns on and off at random, texts don't go through, and whenever I plug my phone into my computer, when I unplug it, it restarts.
If I put it into debug mode and connect it to usb, when I unplug it it restarts. It restarts to the Samsung lading screen over and over and over and over again until I unplug the USB. I am not computer/android guru or anything, but I do know my way around them decently. And nothing I can figure out works. i went into the Sprint store and the guy told me to do a factory reset. I did. Didn't do anything, same problems.
I am totaly new to doing flashes and everything to cell phones. Last night I put 2.1 on my phone and it worked wonderful! Today I was going to root it with SPH-M900_MR2_DD03_REL-joeykrim-recovery-2.1.3.tar. I started up the Sprint Uploader thing and when it reached the actual updating part the USB cable got disconected form the computer. When I tried to turn my phone on it says "Cannot find .jpg or png!" I have tried to re-flash it but everytime it gets to the uplaod it freezes and has "?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've had my Desire a few weeks now and am resigned to the fact that I have to charge it regularly as I have it linked to my office Exchange server using push email. As I am on call for my job I need it on overnight as well. I always plug it into the HTC charger at bed time, but this morning I noticed something odd. When I woke up (still plugged in) the battery was showing 100%. As soon as I unplugged the charger, it dropped to 90%. I've seen a similar question on the forums but the circumstances were slightly different - anyone have any thoughts, duff battery maybe?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI had a problem on my first HTC Hero where after a while, when I unplugged my headphones - e.g. after listening to music, it would go into headset mode. i.e. Although no headset or headphones were attached, the Headset Icon would appear and you couldn't hear anything through the inbuilt speaker and the inbuilt microphone would not work. I got orange to send me a replacement and now the same is happening. I have to reboot the phone to get it to work.
Further info:
- I'm using a set of sennheisser headphones, have tried another third party set and the same thing seems to happen.
- have installed the headset on/off widget but even when turning the phantom headset off via this, the speaker does not always work. Don't know what happens to the
- loudspeaker mode works but then switching this off doesn't guarantee the inbuilt speak/microphone will start working
- never used a bluetooth headset
- have updated the ROM to the new faster version, but this problem happened on my original phone with the older version too.
I wonder if this is a related issue to that some people have experienced where there headset does not work - as I say I'm not using one - but it seems perhaps the software or physical headphone/headset detection in the minijack socket is dodgy?
I got this problem, the headphone logo is on my htc hero, but there is not headphone plug in, therefore I got no sound unless I plug in my headphone, but when I take it out, the logo is still there. To make it worst, I now cannot sync to upgrade the software. I did a master reset, and the headphone logo is still active. All I did was switch off my phone and turn it back on, this happen.

The charge took almost five hours. (Which I see is a common thing). However, when I unplugged my phone from charging this morning (9+ Hour charge) the battery went from 100% to 93% in about five minutes. It seems like I am losing 1% every minute or so until I reach 93%. Then it kind of stays steady. CPU clock is running constantly at 600 MHz+.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI own a GSM Galaxy Nexus and I picked up the official car dock yesterday, and I've noticed that it doesn't have an elegant method for pausing currently playing media when a disconnect is detected, like how when you unplug a headset and supported media apps will pause (e.g. Pandora or Google Music).
EDIT: Originally I was using Tasker's built-in media button functionality for pausing music, but that actually was triggering a global play/pause toggle which would toggle all apps at the same time, resulting in unwanted resumed playback from Pandora and Google Music. I managed to resolve the issue by using the Locale Headphone Button Plugin instead. With it I can issue a non-toggle pause event that only pauses tracks that are currently playing. There is absolutely no need to simulate a headset event.
I have a galaxy note i717 and it was unplugged while an automated unrooting program (kingo android root) was running. Now the phone is stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen, and Kies won't connect to the phone.
Is there anything I can do to get the phone working again?
Just got the full version of Lock 2.0; skipped the free demo since I pretty much knew this is what I wanted. However, once I installed it; when I go to open Lock 2.0 for the menu; the screen that says, "Please wait while we download the default skin..." pops up, but just as quick as that appears, a box stating, "Downloading failed, restart app to retry, make sure you have unplugged your usb connection"
This is pretty annoying, as so far I've tried:
1. Killing the app and restarting it
2. Rebooting the phone
3. Uninstalling and Installing
Nothing is working and I really want to start using this app! I even downloaded the demo free version to see maybe it was an issue between the paid and free; but same issues. I'm currently rocking a HTC Magic running Sense UI 1.5. Anyone encounter similar problems? or possibly know of any way to fix this?
My calls to getFromLocationName() always fail the "first" time I start my app. I catch the IOException which has reason:
Unable to parse response from server
Then I make a second call and it succeeds. Once things are "awake" all future calls to getFromLocationName() succeed, it's just that first one, and there is a ton of latency.
I haven't run this on a device yet, just in the emulator. This seems like a network problem, but it is so reproducible I'm thinking I'm not initializing something properly. I'm using Android SDK 1.1.
How can I make progress bar to measure time (pause/playing/total time) of different video which is streaming from website?
