Android :: Why Android Phone Simulator So Slow?
Aug 17, 2010Compared to the iPhone and Windows Phone 7 equivalents it's takes forever to start up - is it realistic to expect this to improve over time?

View 2 RepliesI am running Mac Leopard on 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook (with 1.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM). I am using Eclipse Helios with Android 2.1 platform with Android 2.1 Simulator. With even a "Hello World" Application, the simulator takes around 3 minutes to show the "Hello world" message..... what is wrong? How can I rectify this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSuppose I wanted to design a cheap little app which lets you schedule fake phone calls to yourself, along similar lines as this app:
http://magictap.net/fakecalls/
I'd imagine using an AlarmManager would be suitable for this purpose, the question is how to generate a fake incoming call screen, complete with the slide to answer call option. My initial approach, the AlarmManager should launch a PendingIntent. However, I'm not sure where to go from here, in particular to get an Activity started which displays the fake call screen.
After a round of hassle (many thanks to sontaikle), finally i managed to do some screen capture from my Android but right now I am thinking about this. Is there any way I can do a REAL TIME phone simulation on my PC. Its alike TV output from phone to projector (Galaxy S can do that) but I have other Android which have no TV output function from the phone, so I wonder if I connect the phone to PC and get the real time screen output (few second lagging is ok for me as well) to PC than I can project it out via projector during discussion, presentation. I have tried this Emulator, too bad its doesn't project that on the phone on PC. How to install Android SDK and play with Android 2.0 in the emulator - Android and Me

Droid X Simulator
I'm wondering where files that are created while running in a simulator are stored. I'm running the 1.5 simulator on Windows Vista. The real reason I want to find the files is because I am downloading an png file and trying to create a bitmap via:
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(iconFile.getAbsolutePath());
However, the bitmap is always null. I am able to create a bitmap successfully if I have the file as a resource.
I am using the default simulator, Can I make simulator identical to some common device I mean one identical to HTC, one identical to droid motorla, one of samsung, dell, acer,..etc Here identical I mean all the features that it provide.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to install the Photoshop mobile on my emulator. I need to do test the Photoshop.com Mobile integration for image editing. But I dont know how to do that. I cannot access the market from the emulator.
Can anyone tell me how I can install it on my simulator.
My G1 phone slows down after a while from switching it on, and if I switched off and re-switched it on it will get back to its normal state. So any clue why is that happening? I downloaded many apps from the market, is that the reason? and is there any application that shows the running applications in the background and their CPU and memory usage? And when I open the messaging and scroll through the messages it is way too slow.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI really like installing apps, testing them, and removing them. Does installing apps and then uninstalling them end up making your phone slower? I don't have my Incredible yet but I don't want to install all these apps to just test if it will end up slowing my phone down when I remove them! I know Windows does get slower by installing and uninstalling apps, OS X not so much. How does Android fare?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI downloaded this app earlier today and my phone has been running slow every since. I checked to see what has been using all my memory and was surprised to see the TV Guide app running. I closed it and my phone ran great again. Checked the battery usage to see it used almost 5% of my battery. The one problem? I NEVER EVEN USED IT YET. Anyone else have a similar issue with this app on the Droid?
View 15 Replies View RelatedMy website uses jQuery and the it's main feature uses a loop. On the desktop, all 3 browsers (GC, FF, IE11) executes the loop approx. 1,100 times a minute. On Windows Phone, it does 1,000 times a minute, a bit slower. But on Android in particular, it only gets about 500, and the UI updating is slow. I don't know about iPhone.why my jQuery is running much slower on Android then the rest of the platforms I've tested?

I would like to remove some of those apps (to reduce the clutter), but cannot figure out how to do it. If I click on the app icon and hold down the mouse button, the screen changes to the main screen, and there appears to be a trash can at the bottom. However, dragging the icon to the trash can seems to have no effect.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am building a application for the Android platform and I would like to use the accelerometer. Now, I have found a very nice application for sensor simulation (OpenIntents' SensorSimulator) but, for what I want to do, a would like to create my own sensor simulator application.
I have not found information on how to do this (I do not know if disassembly the jar of the Simulator is correct) and, as I said, I would like to build a smaller and simpler version of a sensor simulator, more suitable for my intents. Do you know where could I start? where can I see what are the pieces of code that I need to build?
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Hardware.Preferences.CONTENT_URI);
startActivity(intent);
When I give the above code to enable sensors they are showing errors
@ Hardware.Preferences.CONTENT_URI);
