Is there a simple way to activate/deactivate bluetooth without having some dialog popup requesting the user's permission every time? I have an app that plays music (it's actually part of a scheduled alarm). I want to play music through some bluetooth speakers I have already paired the phone with, but I don't want bluetooth to run while I am not using that app or after the app has shut down -- I want to reduce any unnecessary load on the battery.

While the data is being fetched currently i am showing a dialog. problem is that while dialog is being shown it puts entire activity (i mean the whole screen) to background. Is there a possibility in android where my dialog only disables some part of the screen and rest of the screen remains active and can handle actions done on it.

I provide a small tool called PatternControl via the market that give the users the opportunity to temporary deactivate the Android "lock pattern" for a definable amount of time. With other words: After entering the pattern, the pattern becomes deactivated for i.e. 5mins and re activates it self afterwards. Until now (Android < 2.2) this was only possible by changing the settings directly, because there was no related API provided. (i.e.with something like set Boolean (Settings .System.LOCK_PATTERN_ENABLED, enabled)) It is clear that this in not a good way, but from my knowledge there was no alternative. My hope was, that Froyo would introduce a new API to handle things like that "legally". With the new security model of Android 2.2 writing to this kind of settings is now disallowed and the PolicyManager class seems just to offer password complexity options. So here is my question: Is there still any way to temporary deactivate the "lock pattern" as long as Android does not support such a delay functions natively?

View 10 Replies View RelatedUsing the original HTC messaging system and now Handcent (awesome app), it always defaults to XT9 to text, which I don't like. Can anyone advise me how to turn it off or change the setting for it? I've had a look but cant find where to change it.
Another small hindrance that I find with the messaging system (again with both) is the delay when entering two different letters from the same key using the phone keypad. I prefer the phone key pad and theres a delay which i find to long. Eg, if I enter A and want to enter B straight after that, the delay before I can do that I find to long.
(before question shout out to how great home ++ is) ok so i've tried ish some home replacements before(and by tried i mean installed didnt like look or quite get it and uninstall(when i first got phone)). i started to youtube home++ became very intrested and installed it and love it so far! great alternative i think everyone should try it out! ok now to question this is my first time posting so hello all! now that i have home++ installed i notice that my original "home screen" is always running in the background,so is there a way to "deactivate"(for lack of better terminology). doesnt it take up cpu/gpu resources and then new home screen does also in turn draining battery or slowing phone down? if no way to deactivate should i goto original and turn off stuff like live wallpapers and also remove any widgets that update regularly so i dont have it running twice?

I had to deactivate the Google account (due to a privacy issue) that I was using on my laptop and it was the one I was using on the phone also. Now that I've deactivated it, I am no longer able to use the android apps, or change things within the phone because on not being able to log into that account. The login page comes up with the old account asking me for my password, but of course, like I said, it is no longer in use, and it doesn't let me change the user name as I've made another goggle account. I have tried to change things in the settings, but all I've done it seems is to have screwed it up more.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm developing an application for Android 2.2 that should send an SMS immediately when the phone starts ringing (under UMTS/GSM). I'm using the android.telephony.SmsManager.sendTextMessage for sending the SMS. The app is working fine under the emulator, i.e. when I call the emulator phone from another emulator, the SMS is sent instantly. However, when I'm testing the application on HTC Desire, the SMS sending only succeeds after the phone has stopped ringing. Is there anything that could be done about this or is it just a restriction of the HTC Desire device? Seems strange as it's working fine under emulator and it shouldn't be a restriction of the network..

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible on this or an Android to have customizable 'profiles', like Nokia phones have? So that say in a meeting, only certain numbers would ring and messages could be on silent etc? Have been sticking to Nokia only for this function but would love to shift to Android if I can do this. Eg: Nights, I want my hospital number to ring but no other number. In Nokia, I can set a group of numbers by name nad only that group will ring in a given profile.I know that a lot of Nokia users stick to Nokia for this feature.Search showed a lot of profile managers, but none that had this 'selective number' ring only stuff.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write an app that will run when the phone rings but NOT answer the incoming call. The app would have an answer button that when pressed would perform the regular call answer action, but this isn't what I need help with. I've searched the internet and haven't been able to find any consensus on this issue. My app only needs to run during the call ringing stage and nothing more. What would I have to listen for to do this and what manifest entries would I need? Forgive my incorrect/nonexistant use of terminology, I haven't worked with Android in close to a year and haven't freshened up fully yet.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am developing an application that use the GPS and the geolocalion. So, during the application launch, I have to be sure that the user has activated the network and GPS. If he didn't tested 2 solutions : Ask the user to activate them himself (so the application quit, and the user has to reload it) Redirect the user in the corresponding view in order to activate them ( via something like "android.provider.Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS " )
The second solution is better to my mind but can be very boring for the user if he has to activate the Network + the GPS + Nework localisation That's why I ask if it is not possible to activate all that automatically if it is not possible ? I think it is possible because it exists widget that let the user activate network, gps etc... but how can we do that in the application?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to understand the use of the broadcast receiver and the way of activate it. There's two ways isn't it? Register it from an activity or declare it in the manifest. So my question is: If I code a broadcast receiver which is watching incoming messages and I register it in the manifest, when a message comes my broadcast receiver will catch it automatically although any activity of my app had registered it. In a nutshells, I don't have to activate it so it works, only register it either in the manifest or in an activity.
