Is there one which by default keeps them switched off when that option is selected? Currently the Milestone reactivates them when the phone is switched back on. I'd find this useful so that when roaming internationally I can control when I download ie on Wifi only, and not rack on huge data bills!

1) Does Google think there will only be one screen size on Android phones? The reason I ask is because I haven't been able to find anything on "variable" layouts in Android? I would like to create a layout with 2 webviews, one 80% of screen height and the other 20%. Is this even possible, or do I need to assign the height of each as a static "px" value?
2) How do I preserve the data in my views when someone switches between landscape and portrait? I doubt it's hard, but I've not been able to find it. Can someone post an example?
Most of the time the data connection works fine. But if I go into an area with no cell phone reception for a little while, once I come out into a full-bars area where data normally works, my data connection never resumes. Once that happens, I can make calls just fine, but can't use the internet/market/etc. The only thing that solves this problem is to go to network settings, enable 2G networks only, then turn that setting off. That is a huge pain, obviously. Has anyone else had this problem? This was happening with my old SIM, so I had T-mobile give me a brand new one, but it is still happening.
View 4 Replies View RelatedRadio Shack had this phone on sale for $14 cash this weekend, I picked up a couple of them to setup to use for WiFi text/music/YouTube phones for my kids.
I have rooted them and now just want to get rid of the Virgin Mobile automatic profile update that attempts to happen when I power on the phone. If possible, I would like to permanently disable the cellular data/voice modem as well leaving WiFi enabled. What app I should disable/ remove through titanium backup to do this?
I have absolutely no intention of ever activating these phones for traditional cell service. They will strictly be used as WiFi android devices. Basically a cheapo alternative to an iPod.
I have set the phone for airplane mode and then enabled WiFi to prevent them from making calls, this is a reasonable solution but they could turn on the cell radio and start trying to activate, although they wouldn't get far as they don't have a way to provide payment anyway.
Problem is their mother isn't the brightest and when they are away at mom's, I would like to be able to text them and not be on the phone with her troubleshooting them constantly.
I use a Samsung i5700 (Spica/Galaxy Portal/whatever it's called this week) and ideally I want to be able to toggle 3g off and on (for the sake of battery). Problem is that every solution (Juice Defender, APNDroid etc) work perfectly for maybe an hour, but then 3g stops being able to connect, forcing me to reboot (at which point everything is fine until I toggle 3g off again as above). Having read about this stuff, it seems to be a problem for many people, not just users of this particular phone.

I know i can just long press and change it, but i was wondering if there was something out there, that could do this automatically. For some reason with swype when i send emails they either wont send or take hours to send. But swype works fine for text and other functions.

View 6 Replies View RelatedDoes anybody know if there's an app that, when you go to sleep at night, switches your network from 3G to 2G at a pre-specified time then back to 3G at a certain time? I know it's simple to manually turn it to 2G and back myself, but I just thought it'd be nice to be lazy and have an app do it for me.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSay that TaskA is currently in the foreground and my ActivityA is somewhere within its stack. Is there a way for ActivityA to get notified or detect when the user switches from TaskA to TaskB? As a use scenario, when the user launches my app, my ActivityA will always be the root Activity of the newly created Task. ActivityA will make use of Activities from other Apps, which will be pushed on the same Task. I would like to get notified when the user has switched to another application. In this case, onStop() in MyActivityA does not suffice as that will also get invoked if the user navigates to another screen within my app.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a imageView, editText and textView within a LinearLayout. I would like to animate the EditText onTouch, to make it twice as taller and display a softkeyboard so that users can type into it. I cannot figure out if I should write some custom logic in applyTransformation of animation class which extends android.view.animation.Animation class OR go with a viewSwitcher which switches to a different view with bigger EditText. I would like to have a smoother transition if possible.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there an Event that is fired when an widget becomes visible on to the homescreen. I didn't mean at install time, I mean if the user changes his homescreen by wiping the surface of the phone. The background of this question is that I setup a timer in a service inside the widget that gets updates from a url but that should stop if the widget is not on the current homescreen.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAnyone with launcher pro knows that regular wallpapers create a bad gradient with widgets and wallpapers themselves as it allows the launcher to work faster(?). Live wallpapers eliminate this. However I am unable to find a live wallpaper that just uses a regular image. Is there an app for that already or can someone make one? I don't imagine it would be very hard.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI bought a HTC hero (white, in UK) a few days ago - It worked totally fine until today! Now it switches itself on & off continuously! Unless I take battery off! The only way I can rectify the problem is if I take the SIM card out altogether, then it seems to stay switched on without a problem! I have also tried another SIM card just incase I had a fault with my SIM but it does just the same.

Then the player (both BS and MX with correct codecs) switches to software decoding from hardware, and the lag begins. I am trying to find out why it switches. Is it overheating?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThere have been loads of Posts about Android WiFi switching itself off, affecting various devices. The scenario is that the WiFi switches off spontaneously after previously working OK. Try to switch it back on, and it will switch off again after about 10 seconds.
This has happened to me twice now, so I'm trying to find a solution before it happens again which does not involve a Firmware reinstall, with the associated aggro of reinstalling Apps and setting everything up again.
SURELY there must be a method of re-initialising the WiFi via ADB or the Terminal Emulator, or something similar !
The machine in question is a Dropad A8 tablet, originally running Android 2.3 and now Android 3.0 Honeycomb. Like I said before, this has happened with both Firmwares, now on two (total) occasions.
I was wondering if its possible to have an application run on startup of the phone and then run permanently in the background. Also I would then like it to monitor the call log, and detect any changes and run about 15, 20 lines of code each time there is a change.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIt's actually really easy, and you don't need to use animations. I did something like this recently by using a wrapper layout that adjusts the Canvas and any MotionEvents. (You could also use this approach rotate the entire layout to any arbitrary angle.) I think romainguy told me to use Canvas.concat(mForward) instead of setMatrix(), but I haven't updated the code in awhile...................

View 5 Replies View RelatedI use Gmail and use the Gmail app as my mail app. Gmail notifies me when I have new mail. My Droid also came with the Email app, which is also hooked into my gmail account. By default, it also checks for new messages and notifies me about them. Naturally, I don't want the double-notifications, and the Email app is also crap at marking emails off as read if I've read them in Gmail. So I went into the Email app settings and unchecked "Send notification." That worked great. BUT... it keeps turning itself back on. If I ever restart my phone, it comes back again with the same stupid notifications. I think sometime it resets itself if it restarts itself after I kill it. how to turn off notifications PERMANENTLY?

Its in great condition but it has 1 problem. When I turn on wireless it turns itself off after a few seconds. It doesn't even turn on long enough to make a list of nearby wireless networks. I've tried a full factory reset several times and this hasn't worked. The factory reset only takes about 2 seconds which doesn't seem very long so I'm not 100% sure that the factory reset is working properly.
I have a question, I've been adjusting my droid eris settings to save battery time.
