Over the past few months i have been looking at many different phone's and i have no idea what to go for. Basically I'm after the following from my phone:
*Android 2.1/2.2 Based device
*Physical Keyboard
*Vanilla/Stock Android (No UI)
*Better Battery Life then my G1. The phones I've been looking at are the Motorola Milestone, Milestone 2 & the HTC Desire Z/T-Mobile G2. The only thing with all all of them is they all feature a new UI (Either MotoBlur or Sense) which I'm not after. I thought i had solved all my problems with the T-Mobile G2 (the Desire Z but with just Stock Android) until I found out its for the US only. Is there any other models that anyone can recommend or am I just going have to put up with not having Stock/Vanilla Android?
I would like to know if there is a way for reading the Phone Model Pro grammatically in android. I would like to get a string like HTC Dream, Milestone, Sapphire or whatever.

I'm interesting in buying a Samsung Galaxy but first I'd like to know if all Android apps are phone model independent? I know that all the cool custom ROM stuff from XDA Devs is HTC only but apps are not? Mostly, I mean Open Home, Unlock 2.0 and Better Keyboard with their skins.
Same question goes about widgets.
I have had the g1 since day one. I often wonder how hard is it to make apps. I see on the market their are lots of them on their. I have basic computer skill. I know some but not all about computer. And can I down load the app maker to a mac computer ?

View 3 Replies View Relatedwhen the Optimus V came out, I found a thread either on here or XDA about how to change the model number to think it was a different phone. I did this to allow for the usage of Netflix, and I think I may have changed it to a Nexus model..
My current phone, the Optimus F7, is rooted and running stock Android 4.1.2 JB. (I rooted in order to allow for uninhibited tethering from my carrier.)I have browsed here, XDA, and countless pages on Bing and Google... yet I have found nothing about doing this... to any phone.My only desire (not the phone) is to make my F7 think it's - at least - a Galaxy S3. Many of my friends, coworkers and family have the S3 and I figure out things and solve problems on their phones, yet I find nothing on my own, so I simply wanted to turn it into an S3.
I am aware that I could simply get an S3, but I have had horrid luck with Samsung devices (not software) in the past, but have had wonderful luck with LG devices.
What are you guys entering for Model Code? I'm seeing the below choices but can't find anywhere which one my phone is:
1. SGH-T959ZKATMB
2. SGH-T959ZKBTMB
3. SGH-T959ZKDTMB
4. SGH-T959ZKMTMB
After three years of iPhones, I'm all set with that ecosystem and I want to move on the Android. I followed the Rachel UI since it was demoed last fall and have had an interest every since. Now that the phone is finally in the US I have a couple of questions:
1. Why is AT&T's No Commitment Pricing $349.99 while Sony Style's is $499.99? Neither price involves a new contract or extension.
2. I've read something about Android devices on AT&T being limited in terms of apps. Does that mean I can only install apps from the Marketplace? If that's the case, is it that big of a deal? I've never felt the need to jailbreak my iPhone, for what that's worth.
3. Other there any other downsides to getting the AT&T phone over a import/unlocked model?
4. Anything else an iOS convert should know?
I've poked around on these (and other) forums but couldn't really find black and white answers to my questions.
I had to do a factory reset on my Eris. Kept getting the "The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly" error and nothing but the reset worked. I "lost" my ringtone app and I SWEAR I saw somewhere that Eris had a default ringtone maker app so there was no need to DL one. Can someone point me in that direction, or am I loosing my mind?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to retrieve the GPS location of the phone. I believe I cannot create an object of the class which stores the location in a variable. So that once the class gets instantiated I use a get method and retrieve the content in the variable. So I am trying to do this....
locationListener = new MyLocationListener();
lm.requestLocationUpdates( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,0,0,locationListener); if(!information.equals(null)){ Bundle bundle = new Bundle(); bundle.putString("hello", information); Intent intent = new Intent(LocationActivity.this, MainActivity.class); intent.putExtras(bundle); startActivity(intent); }
and in the locationlistener class
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) { if (loc != null) { double lat=loc.getLatitude(); double lon=loc.getLongitude(); information = " "+lat +lon; Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Location Changed:"+information, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } else information="bad luck"; }
The mainactivity then displays that...but its not happening...could some one please help me how to get the values of this.
I would like to retrieve the name of a contact associated with an incoming telephone number. As I process the incoming number in the broascastreceiver having a String with the name of the incoming caller would help my project greatly. I would think this involves a query using the sql WHERE clause as a filter, but do I need to sort the contacts? An example or hint would be of great assistance.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get the contact's phone number after I have retrieved their ID number from the built-in activity. However, whenever I query the database using the cursor in my code below -- I get zero rows returned even though there is a mobile number for the contact I have selected. Can anyone point me in a better direction or show an example of how to get the contact's phone number AFTER getting their userID?
My code:

return new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI);
