View 3 RepliesAlmost every day when I wake up I check my phone and 9 times out of 10 the touch screen does not work. I cannot make a call or check anything. I have to push a lot of buttons and take out the battery and generally wait a while before my expensive phone to start to work. Is there a fix for this? I've already had to go to sprit to do a hard reset because the phone got, "kicked off the network" for some reason the sprint people could not explain. Any solution for the screen issue?

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust a quick question about the Captivate. I just got myself an HTC Aria and I love how easy it is to use the touch screen on it. Its extremely responsive. Now my sister has the SamSung Instinct on Sprint and the touch screen is horrible compared to HTCs touch on the Aria. Im thinking about taking the HTC back to AT&T and getting the Samsung Captivate. I am just worried about the touch screen on it and if it will be like the Instincts? If the touch is as good as HTCs Ill get it. If its not, then Ill stick with the Aria because despite its size, its an extremely fun and responsive phone. Any thoughts?

This works fine, but I want to be able to toggle SMS receiving on and off by toggling the BroadcastReceiver on and off. Because if I have a simple boolean inside the onReceive method, even if the SMS receiving is off, my application will start.

I've written a test service to understand how android implements a service. I believe I understand the difference between Context.startService and Context.bindService. If I am not mistaken, Context.startService will tell android to keep this service running, even after the Activity that started it has ended.
While testing the service, I have come across something interesting.
My problem is that the service appears to sleep or pause for a few hours, run a short time, and then sleep for a few more hours, then run a short time, etc when the phone has become inactive. In other words, when I am doing things on the phone the service is doing what is is supposed to. But after I have finished doing things on the phone and the screen goes blank the service appears to sleep or pause. I don't know if I have implemented the service wrong or if this is how Android services work.
The test service I have written simply sets a postDelayed handler to increment++ a variable in the Runnable every minute, and then write the value of that variable and a timestamp to a file (log.txt) on the sd card. This how I know that the service appears to sleep. Because there are gaps in the timestamp that correspond to when the phone was inactive. If the service were truly active the whole time, there should be a line item in the log.txt file every minute.
From the log.txt file below you can see that over an eleven hour period there are only 36 line items with time stamps ranging from 10:27 PM through 9:23 AM. If the service was running and active the whole time there should be over 600 lines in the text file. The phone was on AC power the whole time so Android should not have tried to stop services due to power issues. The phone was not used or touched from about midnight to 9 the next morning, so there should not have been a low resource clean up.
I have spent several days looking for an answer and everything I can find seems to validate that when a service is started and not bound, it will stay running (http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/ app/Service.html). However, it appears it does not. Unless I have completely missed the ball on this.
I have included the service.java and activity.java as well as the log file.
Here is a sample log.txt

I want certain apps (games etc) to be exempt from Android's auto closing algorithm, or at least be asked for permission when the system wants to close an inactive app. Is there any app that can do this?

Anyone know of a widget to simply lock the screen or put into sleep mode by pressing something on the screen rather than pressing the power button on the top of the phone. Tried looking around and unless I'm missing something (I am particularly good at missing the obvious!) there doesn't seem to be anything that does just that. Anyone know/come across anything that will do this? Does anyone know if this might be included in 2.2?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with the touch screen in that whenever the screen is touched, it causes significant slowdown because of the large number of callbacks that are being made.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAlot of android phones use the capacitive touchscreen technology. I was wondering if there is away to access any sort of information related to this sensor.
In other words I want to get the voltage potential related to the distance that you push down on the screen.
I know this is probably really deep into the hardware technology and it's probably proprietary, but I want to know if someone has figured out how to access this data or if there is a way around it.
RT Actually I wanna detect the shape of touch point, i.e. the shape of finger touch on the screen
Seems that the only information I can get in touch event is the size of the touch point(by event.getSize())
By the implementation of the screen, the shape(and pressure of each point in the shape) of the touching finger should be the first raw data that the hardware can detect
So, how could I get these raw data?
Is there a simple way to obtain the x,y coordinate whenever someone touches the screen while my app is running? Just looking to store them in some integers.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an AT&T Samsung Note 3 SM-N900A running Android 4.3 (baseband version N900AUCUBMJ5, kernel v3.4.0-1625098). I rooted it using Kingo, installed Tasker (with Secure Settings plugin), and created 2 profiles: one with a 'Home' location context, and one with a 'Work' location context. In the 'Location Edit' map screen for each, I set a pinned location w/ a radius of 200m. I also de-select 'GPS' (leaving only 'NET'), since I don't want GPS enabled all the time (to extend battery life). I confirm that these work when I'm actively using the phone.. the profile becomes active when I'm at the specified location (as expected). I know it's active because it's displayed in the Notification Panel (and it's also shown in green in the Tasker profiles list).
The issue I'm having is that after ~10 minutes of idle time (i.e. when the display is off and I'm not using the phone), I find that the profile is no longer active when I turn the display back on and start using the phone again. I confirmed that this *doesn't* happen after 1 minute, 2 minutes, nor 5 minutes, only > 10. I also confirmed that it happens for both profiles consistently. However, as soon as I start Tasker again from the Apps Drawer (or from Recent Apps screen), the profile is immediately activated again, and my Enter task is re-run.
I enabled the run log in Tasker prefs, but it basically shows a clean activation of the profile (with no warnings or anything that looks weird to me).
I know there's a 10-minute timeout in the Display Off Monitoring prefs, but that doesn't seem to be related to my issue. I tried reducing the All Checks Seconds from 600 to 90, rebooted the phone, and it still took ~10 minutes before the profile would become inactive after the phone being idle.
It would end up looking something like the PSP. You would think that this would be an incredible feature for gamers and any platform that was serious about gaming. Then we wouldn't have to use touchscreen controls, barely passable d-pads, or optical trackballs?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to get the display as dark as possible but I also want the display to remain touch sensitive.So I can't turn the display off, otherwise it wouldn't react to touch anymore. And I use WindowManager. LayoutParams. screenBrightness to get the screen as dark as possible. And I put a layer colored black over the entire display.That works, but at night one sees that the screen is still quite strongly illuminated.Does anybody have an idea of how to get the screen even darker?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am working on a game that displays its graphics through a modified SurfaceView.The game scrolls around a map based on the location of the main character.That all works fine.I am trying to add a feature to the game that allows you to touch the screen and drag the camera around to see other parts of the map.This is where I am running into trouble.The game's SurfaceView overrides 'public boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent event)'to call another method in the game's thread which handles the events.Sometimes, this works fine (although the frame rate drops significantly while the screen is touched).Other times, there will be a delay of several seconds before the game responds to a touch event, during which time the game continues, but the user loses all control.During these delays, a message sometimes appears stating that my activity is not responding, and giving the options to 'Force close' or 'Wait'.If the user selects 'Wait', the game almost always resumes right away, but these delays are obviously not acceptable.The delays occur only the first time the screen is touched after the game is started.Once the game has resumed after a delay, the touch events work just fine again.

Should I end those applications that are cached, or are the really not doing anything sitting there?

I start monkey like this:

(I have already done a tcp port forwarding).
I then use PuTTY to telnet to 127.0.0.1:4321
I can issue a command like tap 100 100 I get a response OK but I see nothing happening on the UI. I have placed a button at that location but I does not receive the touch event.
When I run monkey like this
monkey -p <MY PACKAGE> --pct-touch 100 -v 10
I see touch events being dispatched to the screen.
