I just got my Ally today, and I when I receive a text message I would love to have it show up automatically on my screen. As it is now, when I get a text or email it just makes a faint sound and the screen doesn't even light up. Is there a setting or app I can use to have my texts automatically preview on the screen?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an Android TextView where the view itself is limited to four lines.If the text exceeds this limit I want the end of the view to end with something like.<-- to notify that there is more text here so you can click and open in full screen for example.Not just suddenly stop in the middle of a sentence. Is there a quick fix for this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want the incoming message to show up on the home page when it is first received, like the iphone does, it covers a good portion of the screen, for a few seconds even when the phone is asleep, then it goes away until you wake it up. I tried Handcent and I'm now using ChompSMS. With Chomp you get this tiny little ticker at the top of the screen, that is all. Is it possible to have that feature with this phone?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI do have a few questions about the phone. i was wondering if there is a way to make text messages alerts show up on my screen. i have an app that shows if i have one unread but it is pretty small. every other phone i've had had a pretty big notification for texts. also is there a way to have the screen light up when you get a text? there is a sound that plays when i get a text, but the screen does not light up. not sure if im just missing something, but is there a way to set different tones for different notification? right now the same thing plays when i plug my phone in, that plays when i get a text. none of these are huge issues, but i am just curious if there is a way to make some changes on the phone. im sure ill figure it out or just get used to it.

View 16 Replies View RelatedI've noticed that some users have not found my app's preferences sub menu, so I want to show that sub menu when the user first-time-ever starts the app.
Since onCreateOptionsMenu() would not have been called yet, how can I programmatically show such a sub menu?
BTW: openOptionsMenu() is not what I want because I want to open a sub menu. I suppose its part of the solution though. However, I get an exception when I call it:
Caused by: android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window -- token null is not valid; is your activity running? at android.view.ViewRoot.setView(ViewRoot.java:468) at android.view.WindowManagerImpl.addView(WindowManagerImpl.java: 177) at android.view.WindowManagerImpl.addView(WindowManagerImpl.java: 91) at android.view.Window$LocalWindowManager.addView(Window.java:424)
even though, at the same point in the code, I can successfully open new AlertDialogs.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm showing an input box using AlertDialog. The EditText inside the dialog itself is automatically focused when I call AlertDialog.show(), but the soft keyboard is not automatically shown. How do I make the soft keyboard automatically show when the dialog is shown? (and there is no physical/hardware keyboard). Similar to how when I press the Search button to invoke the global search, the soft keyboard is automatically shown.

I'm having trouble finding a way I can get the iPhone message preview for my Android phone. Any way or if there is an app for it?
I mostly use GOSMS Pro for my texting, and I read somewhere that GOSMS supplies the option for the preview, but I can't find it.
On my previous phone it had a "full lock" feature on it that when a text message or phone call came in it would show all stars on the screen and require my password before you could answer the call or view the text message does the hero have that option or is there an app I can download?
I tried the pattern lock thing it has but if a call comes through or a text message comes through it still allows you to answer and/or view the message without entering the lock pattern..
I have been playing with Android for a couple of months, so I'm still kindof newbie on this. I've looking for previous questions like mine, but I was unable to find any proper solution. So here goes my question:
I'm trying to draw a Camera Preview in a certain part of the screen (for instance, square upper-left). So what I suppose I should do is the following:
CODE:.............
And on the Preview Class I have the following lines:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running a standard camera preview (i use the camera api demo as a reference).
When i hit the capture button, there is a black screen for a good 1/2 second until the captured image appears.
My question is how can i freeze the last image being previewed on the screen while i do the capture work ? I don't mind that the quality of the displayed image is not as good.
If i hit camera.stopPreview() -> that goes into the black screen which i don't want.
I have got a problem using google now.
I'm disabling the "Show last search" in settings -> privacy from google now, but after a while the last searches reappear.
Is it a bug from jellytime or ist there a setting i've found jet in my google account.

Everything works quite awesome, but I'm not getting my notification sound when I get a text message. I do get it for other notification events, and I've tried a couple different sounds just for good measure. Is this a ROM issue? An issue with my phone? Anyone else experiencing it? Right now I'm using the default messaging app.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently got my wife an LG Ally because her add-on line was ready to upgrade and she wanted to try something new. She had a BB Curve before and didn't want to go for the free ugprade with the new Curve. I've had an HTC Incredible and for the most part love it. I knew that the LG Ally wasn't as "powerful" as the HTC Incredible. My wife told me today that her Ally sometimes won't send txt messages or will send more than one of the same txt message. She also complained about it being slow. What can I do to get rid of this problem for her? I was considering running the Task Killer although I know Android has its own way of managing memory and running applications so I didn't know if running Task Killer would actually do anything. I think its getting to the point where she is getting frustrated with the phone and I may have to return it, if it is even possible, after her having it just a few days. Any thoughts?
