I've had my Moto Droid since just after the release and since rooting and ROMing in January, I'm really becoming more obsessed. Cyanogen has had a huge affect (for the better!) on my Android experience. Just curious what phone you guys think has the biggest developer community. (I'm obviously going with DROID ). I'd love to also hear the opinions of those with multiple Android phone experiences.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working on an Android application that I would like to work on a reasonable number of devices. Currently my application works on 1.6 and greater, but uses some API function calls not supported in 1.5. How many devices on the market are restricted to 1.5? Is there a list of the latest firmware versions supported by all the available devices? I'm trying to see if it's worth my time to make my application work for 1.5, or if it won't really affect anyone.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I first started publishing Android apps as an indie developer, I posted my phone number on the app's submission page, thinking it would not be listed publicly. When I found out that it was, I removed the number from the app listing. I don't have the resources to handle phone support, and much prefer to handle support via email. Besides, there is no requirement that we provide phone support, as long as we provide support in some way, correct? Anyway, these days I'm getting fewer phone calls, but I'm still getting calls. We are required to list a phone number in our developer profile, but it is stated that this is used for Google to contact us directly in case there are issues. So where are users still getting my phone number, and how can I make sure it's not listed?
View 3 Replies View RelatedJust recieved my dev phone today in the US. I have am AT&T sim card, but with no actual service with the card. I was wondering if their is a way to set up the apn or bypass it to use the phones built in wifi. Just wanna start testing my code and can't seem to get it working without having an actual service provided by AT&T.
Basic question is: Can I use the Dev phone with a sim card, implying that the sim card has no actual service.
I was just wondering. I was going to buy the DEV 2 but then i decided to just buy the Nexus One. I want to troubleshoot my apps but i don't want to buy old technology. as it is I am going to have to buy a new phone every 6 months to keep up with technology.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have developed an android service. Any android app can use it's API's to get some kind of news updates from this service. I want to distribute this service so that any android app on the phone can use this service. My questions here are :When some android application try to use its API on the phone and suppose that service is not available on the phone then what will happen ?How will android application developer will make sure that the service is available on the phone?Does application developer has to bundle service with his application ? If yes then wont be there multiple instances of same service on phone if multiple application contains same service on the phone?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post and I am new to Android so excuse my ignorance if this is well documented and common knowledge. I have a stock ADP, firmware 1.0, no updates no mods and of course I want to get the latest features such as voice control, latitude etc, and so begins the fun. Why is there nothing official that can be easily found which states what is going on for people that own the ADP? I must have read dozens of articles showing update procedures and claiming to have leaked OFFICIAL developer updates and only recently did i find 2 thread that eventually end with something stating there is NO official update for developer phones yet.
I have 2 gripes about this:
1. Why no official and clear statement from the development team to clarify this before people start scrambling desperately to install leaked versions that are false? (I know I almost did) 2. Why as a developer do I have to wait for features that are already available to end users?
Exciting news! Apparently a friend of the guys at AllDroid.org has access to a Droid X Developer phone which may be crucial to unlocking the bootloader. They are currently collecting donations to obtain the phone.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAbout the "latest" version of the Android platform vs. APIs and SDK. as far as I read in the Android web site the latest Android SDK is 2.2
I also have an HTC developer Phone, and when I go to the htc to update its firmware and Android Image (from page: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html); I found that the latest radio and recovery images are for Android 1.6
what does it mean?
1. Do I have to wait until platform 2.2 is released for HTC Dev Phone?
2. or if I have the latest 1.6 images instaled on my device it will run whatever I build using SDK 2.2.
Using this library, ZXing, we have a project at school in which we'll implement a inventory system using Android phones.
We aim to use an Android phone to be a inexpensive replacement to this:
I've read some of the warnings on the FAQ for certain phones. Is there a specific phone that Android developers prefer (with use of the ZXing library in mind)? We have to buy the phone ourselves, so we would prefer not to buy the wrong phone!
I am trying to downgrade Android developer phone 1's firmware version from 1.6. to 1.5 by following this link.
http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
Here I have completed till steps #7 of Update the Device Radio Firmware. While in steps 8. It start to load update.zip file. It analyze the update.zip file. and at last it shows that update Aborted. I have followed exact all steps mentioned in that list.
I didn't see an announcement on this list, and while I own a G1,I know many developers asked for this, so "a 1.1 version of Android for the Android Dev Phone":

I know you can get a developer phone but the new G2 looks pretty nice as well as the Samsung around the corner. I would assume however that it would be a better idea to be using a consumer phone if they are the target market for apps you wish to produce, especially for testing purposes. Has anyone else had experience from this choice and provide any further illumination to the issue?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI see on the Android SDK pages, it mentions some screen resolutions to expect on Android platforms:
Small screen
QVGA (240x320), 2.6"-3.0" diagonal
Normal screen
WQVGA (240x400), 3.2"-3.5" diagonal
FWQVGA (240x432), 3.5"-3.8" diagonal
HVGA (320x480), 3.0"-3.5" diagonal
WVGA (480x800), 3.3"-4.0" diagonal
FWVGA (480x854), 3.5"-4.0" diagonal
Large screen
WVGA (480x800), 4.8"-5.5" diagonal
FWVGA (480x854), 5.0"-5.8" diagonal
Obviously, testing an app you want to sell on all these resolutions is going to be a pain. Is there any data on what percent of android phones being used use the above resolutions? My hope is that there's only really 3 or so popular resolutions...

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been searching about the floating point support on G1 phone (aka the HTC Dream phone) for a few hours.
So far, my conclusion is that the ARM-based Qualcomm MSM7201 CPU does not have VFP (floating point coprocessor) and therefore floating point calculations have to be done via software-float.
This is quite disappointing as I am interested in developing applications with heavy math.
However, I also notice that the Qualcomm CPU has QDSP4000™ and QDSP5000™ high-performance digital signal processors (DSP), according to http://www.qctconnect.com/products/msm_7201.html
Therefore, here is my question: would it be possible to leverage the DSP modules in the MSM7201 CPU to do the floating point math?
Also, I would like to develop the heavy-math modules in C/C++ and call it via JNI, and so I just want to double-check whether this is a feasible approach.
