Android :: Which Browser To Be Preferred?
Apr 16, 2010Okay I am using the Sprint Hero and am looking for a different browser. I currently use Dolphin, and I like it, but my main complaint is that if I save a bookmark with it, it doesn't go to the same bookmark list as my widget. That is one feature I would like the browser to have, though that may only be on the default one. I do like that you can download Youtube videos with Dolphin. I know there are a few others, such as Opera and Steel. Which do you suggest, knowing the things I like to do with my browser?

Sep 27, 2010In the agreement of the Dolphin Browser HD, it states that Dolphin will collect data about the user in something called user experience analytics.I've been trying to find information about this, to no avail. I've searched everywhere.Has anyone read this agreement?Can anyone give me information about what they collect? It seems very open statement, in which they could practically take anything.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Intent To Open Users Preferred Browser
Jun 28, 2010I've been trying to find out how to create an intent that will open the user's preferred browser without specifying the URL. I know how to open it by giving a specific URL like this:Intent intent = new Intent();intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setData (android.net.Uri.parse ("http://www.google.com")) ;context.startActivity (intent);I don't want to open the browser to any page in particular, just the set homepage or whatever page the user was on last. I've thought about looking up the homepage set within the app but you can't do it with the default Browser app because it is private. Does anybody know of a way to do this?

Nov 8, 2010I don't know what has happened with my phone recently. I had flashed ss4.8, ss4.9, lfy 1.9, and now cyanogenmod 6.1 RC3. My phones internet browser has force closed constantly on every ROM I mentioned above. Its never done this before. I can't even hardly load or scroll through a web page and it force closes almost everytime I use the internet for more than 5 mins. The phone itself has been horribly slow too no matter what kernel I use. I noticed something about JIT in the cyanogenmod settings, could this possibly have something to do with it? I have no clue I'm just shooting in the dark but my phone has been almost unusable.

Jul 26, 2010I never had a problem until today and now my evo is having trouble connecting in places it used to work great in. And when it does connect, it (a) either doesn't work at all (browser, speed test, nothing registers an internet connection) or (b) works for a minute, then (a) happens. I have an allegedly "good" 4g signal too. Tried soft reset and battery pulling, hoping that the problem will go away before resorting to a factory reset...

May 4, 2010I know this has been discussed all over the internet but I'm a computer "user" only and don't particularly understand a lot of the computer terminology in these discussions. I would like some very simple straight forward answers in lay person language. I work in a company that uses Microsoft exchange and outlook. I currently have a blackberry that syncs everything wireless and seamlessly (ie., contacts, emails, tasks, calendars, notes). I would like to get a new Verizon Indredible but company does not and won't enable active sync (whatever that is). My question is is there a program that I can install directly onto my office PC myself that will "push" or otherwise wirelessly sync all of my outlook information that is currently synced on my Blackberry?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Specify Preferred Receiver When Using SendOrderedBroadcast()?
Jul 23, 2010The documentation for sendOrderedBroadcast() describes the function as following: "Broadcast the given intent to all interested BroadcastReceivers, delivering them one at a time to allow more preferred receivers to consume the broadcast before it is delivered to less preferred receivers."
How do we specify which receiver is preferred, such that the preferred receiver gets the first shot at handling the intent?
To illustrate, say I have 2 possible activities, ActivityA and ActivityB, to handle them intent. If both are alive, I would like ActivityA to always handle the intent in favor of ActivityB.
Android :: Make Application's Canvas In Terms Of Pixels?
Mar 13, 2010I've determined an estimate of the size of my Android emulator's screen in pixels, although I think its resolution can be changed to other numbers. Quite frankly though that doesn't eliminate the general problem of not knowing how many pixels on each axis I have to work with on my Android applications in general.The main problem I'm trying to solve is this: How do I make sure I don't use a faulty resolution on Android applications if I want to keep things' sizes constant (so that if the application screen shrinks, for instances, objects will still show up just as big - there just won't be as many of them being shown) if I wish to do this with a single universal resolution for each program? Failing that, how do I make sure everything's alright if I try to do everything the same way with maybe a few different pre-set resolutions?
Mainly it seems like a relevant question that must be answered before I can come across a complete answer for the general problem is how big can I always make my application in pixels, NOT regarding if and when a user resizes the application's screen to something smaller than the maximum size permitted by the phone and its operating system.I really want to try to keep this simple. If I were doing this for a modern desktop, for instance, I know that if I design the application with a 800x600 canvas, the user can still shrink the application to the point they're not doing themselves any favors, but at least I can basically count on it working right and not being too big for the monitor or something. Is there such a magic resolution for Android, assuming that I'm designing for API levels 3+ (Android 1.5+)?

View 8 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Galaxy Nexus Or SGS III In Terms Of Android Custom Rom?
Jul 4, 2012I really like the stock look of the ICS(yes the one that Galaxy Nexus has).So I was wondering if there is anyway to get rid of the Touchwiz from Galaxy SGSIII.After a small Google research that I did it seems that a user is not able to get rid of Touchwiz unless it replace it with another Launcher like the Launcher Pro.So what I found out that the only way to do this is to flash the phone with a custom rom,which will not contain any OEM launchers or any other third party launchers. Any kind of launcher that will make SGS III look like Galaxy Nexus's stock launcher,I am looking only for the stock launcher only.
So I was wondering if there is any custom rom to get rid of touchwiz and leave all the other goodies that Samsung has included like the Smart-Stay(the one that tracks your eyes in order to keep the screen on),All share,etc,... in SGS III or the only way is to buy the Nexus?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: ROM Hacking Terms - HBOOT / Bootloader / Radio / Recovery Image / Update.zip
Aug 12, 2010I see these components discussed all the time on xda-developers. I have a vague understanding of what they are and how they're related to each other, but it's not perfectly clear. For example, the radio seems to be a lot more than just the radio. I have a good understanding of the basic ideas as a Linux user and software developer.To kick things off, let me present my current understanding. I could be way off on some things:"Radio" - I'm not sure if this runs before the bootloader or after HBOOT is the bootloader, the first thing that runs when you boot up your phone. Like your regular Linux bootloader, it lets you boot off of different partitions.There are multiple partitions on the system, at least one for HBOOT (maybe? or is it in some kind of MBR type of area?), recovery, system and data. All of these partitions are in the system's "ROM" which is not really ROM it's actually NVRAM or flash or whatever. Hence, each of these areas can be independently flashed.Recovery is a partition you can boot into. It's originally meant to be a kind of "recovery" mode and so offers a base for hacking. This is typically re-flashed so as to follow further modifications. From the recovery image, you can also access the sdcard which is useful for fetching update.zip files etc. update.zip - these are updates that can be applied from a custom recovery image. It seems like these updates can contain more or less arbitrary code, but I'm not clear on how they get applied or where they get flashed to or applied to./system - gets mounted read-only (what control this?) unless you do some hacking Where does the kernel sit? Is there a different one in the recovery versus the regular image? which parts form a custom ROM like CyanogenMod? What is the NAND and what does it mean to unlock the NAND? What is an RUU? SPL? Where do the WiFi and 3G radio images sit? PC36IMG.zip? PRI?I've seen some of this explained elsewhere but I don't understand how they all fit together.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Setting Preferred Home Activity From Application Code
Jan 7, 2010I'm trying to have my home-screen application register itself as the default home-screen so the user is not prompted with the IntentResolver's list of all the available home-activities.
This is my code:
CODE:.................
I have the android.permission.SET_PREFERRED_APPLICATIONS set in the manifest. After executing the code above, the logs claim things have been added like expected (same logs as when I tick off "Make default" from IntentResolver's list). However, when I proceed by clicking home, the list still shows up and the logs say:
CODE:.....................
So it seems the resolver deletes the default entry. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a security measure? What are the ideas behind this?

View 5 Replies View RelatedPreferred WiFi By App Control Code?
Feb 16, 2013I made a remote starter, keyless entry, and window roll down module out of a Linksys router. It serves up a webpage that I access from my Android through WIFI connected directly to the router. I just have to be within WIFI range to operate it. It works flawlessly. No actual internet involved.
Here is what I would like to do: Create an app that accesses each webpage to control it. I am thinking webview, but I don't ever want to see the actual web page. The app just needs to open the page in the background to make the control work. The current hassle is that I have to go to my WIFI settings and select the router. Use the control and then set my WIFI back to the original connection. Is there a way to have the phone automatically connect to the router associated with this app upon app initialization and then have it return the WIFI setting to the previous state after the app is closed?
Samsung Captivate :: Differences Between Two Maps In Terms Of Location Accuracy? (GPS Off)
Aug 2, 2010Has anyone noticed the differences in using the two maps in terms of location accuracy? Specifically with GPS off. I don't expect either app to be extremely accurate in finding my location with GPS off, but what's odd is that Google Maps put's me about .25 miles WNW of my actual location while AT&T Maps put's my location .25 ENE of my actual location. You would think that the operating system determines the location and provides the app of that information, but that doesn't seem to be the case (since the two maps are showing different locations).
