I did some searching and couldn't find an app like this, figured I'd try here. Anyone know of a app that will disable your wifi when you lock your phone, and enable it when it's unlocked?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been applying a simultaneous rotate and alpha animation to an ImageView using AnimationSet. It was working fine when I set a Bitmap as the image with Image.setImageBitmap(my_bitmap).
I then extended the Drawable class with my own drawing routine. In my custom drawable I do some porter-duff compositing on the bitmap i was using earlier. I set the image with Image.setImageDrawable( new MyCustomDrawable( my_bitmap ) Now my animation rotates but no longer performs the alpha transition!
One of the things I have tried is returning different values from getOpacity() in my Drawable. None of PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT, PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT, PixelFormat.OPAQUE, or PixelFormat.UNKNOWN work.
Just FYI my co-worker has upgraded his Evo to run Froyo today. The update takes quite a while to execute so be patient, but one thing I noticed was that the USB tethering no longer works. On my phone (still running 2.1) I can plug in the USB cable, enable the 4G radio, and then go to Menu -> Settings -> Wireless & networks and click on the "Internet sharing" option. Once I do this, my computer automatically picks up the new USB device and can use it for internet access (it shows up as "usb0" in my ifconfig on Ubuntu 10.04). Note that this USB tethering ONLY works when the phone has a connection to the 4G network, otherwise tapping the "Internet sharing" option will produce an error 67 message.
I tested on my co-worker's phone after he upgraded to 2.2 and found that:
1) The "Internet sharing" option has been renamed to "USB tethering"
2) Tapping the "USB tethering" option will immediately disconnect your phone from the 4G network. Consequently, this means that you cannot tether.
Anyone else notice this issue after moving to Froyo? I have downloaded the update but I haven't applied it yet (for this and other horror stories I have heard). If you do lose the ability to perform USB tethering after the upgrade, have you been successful with tethering the Evo to a Linux machine? I have tried these two tutorials and been unsuccessful:

Now the problem comes when I add a LongClickListener to my LinearLayout. That disables my OnTouchListener if the touch hits the LinearLayout but it is still triggered, if the LinearLayout was not hit by the touch.
My listeners:

How can I delegate the touch on the LinearLayout where the OnLongClickListener is registered, to the parent?
Just trying to get a confirmation, has anyone else found that since updating to 2.2 the following line has no effect: requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);. Is there a new permission required?

Pressing it harder onto my head (which one shouldn't have to do) or holding it farther away don't help, either. Does the other Otterbox case do this?
View 11 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to have a phone lock on the Desire, in the way it is used on "normal" phones? What I mean is that I need a phone lock for security reasons - however it is a pain to use it every time I turn the screen on. Is there a way to have it work only when you turn the phone on? Right now if yu don't have a phone/screen lock security set if someone steals your phone they take out the sim card and use the phone normally ... if you do have it, then you must use the password every time you want to use the phone (I hate it). I know the best thing is to have a secured access but I was just wandering if it was possible to do seomething different?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIt seems that I have problem to leave Wifi on in order to get skype & SIP calls when the screen shutoff (black screen / idle)
I changed the "wifi sleep policy " to never but still i cant get incoming calls
I tested it several time even tried to ping it but it seems that it is disconnects after the screen shutoff.
So I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (Sprint) running 4.1.1 on CyanogenMod, However this question pertains to multiple handsets across all of the carriers.If you've ever tried to set up a VPN or other secure WiFi connection (802.1x) you'll notice that android then makes you secure your lock screen either via a PIN or a pattern lock.
is there a way to disable this requirement while maintaining the connection configuration? I have root and terminal access.
I posted this in the Captivate forums but it worked on my wife's Vibrant too, so I wanted to share:
NEW fix for GPS using wifi - INSTANT Lock indoors
After noticing my battery was draining quickly, and then after reading this thread, I installed Android System Info to see what was draining my battery so fast. I notice that whenever I would turn on WiFi, the phone will never go to sleep , regardless of what I set the WiFi sleep policy to. After turning off WiFi, the battery still drains heavily.
The WiFi will shut off after 15mins (if you set it to "When screen turns off" or "never when plugged in"). However it seems to keep the CPU on causing it to drain down the battery.
It would seem that whenever WiFi is enabled, the Android system process creates a partial wakelock that does not go away even if you turn off WiFi. The only way to resolve this is by powering off or rebooting the phone.
You can verify this in Android System Info by going into Battery-History-Other Usage-Partial Wake usage to see how much time the "Android System" process holding a partial wake.
I even did a factory reset on the device; and it is still happening so it doesn't appear to be any app that caused the issue. As I said, it works fine as long as I don't enable WiFi.
I already know of two users having this issue, but I'm wondering if folks having battery problems are going through this as well. Is anyone else having similar issues after using WiFi? I'm hoping someone will be able to identify what exactly is putting the wakelock on and we'll be able to find a fix for it. Other than not using WiFi at all or rebooting the phone after using Wifi.
So before I start, let me say that I have tried this on my wife's Vibrant and my own captivate I get a lock immediately in google maps.
After seeing skyhook in the LbsTest settings I decided to look further into what skyhook is. I read the article below: Samsung to Put Skyhook on Mobile Devices - Midmarket from eWeek
So I thought hey... there are lots of wifi networks around where I live I wonder if it would help if I turn my wifi on.
I get an almost instant lock accurate to 50 meters (good enough for navigation). I have tried it over and over and when I turn off wifi, I get an accuracy of 1700 meters. Turn it back on and get accuracy to 50 meters.
It works indoors and out.
I just noticed that for this to work YOU MUST HAVE "USE WIRELESS NETWORKS" CHECKED under location and security then turn on Wifi (you don't have to connect to any networks). My guess is it narrows down your location based on Cell tower triangulation, then uses wifi to narrow it down.
Here is a blury, crapy, video I made of it:

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn some social situations, you want to show off the interesting games, or any interesting apps to your friends. Then they always lend the phone to give it a try. At this moment, you start to worry that your secrets or confidential information are in Gmail, Messaging, facebook, Money Manager, and Calendar.
There is one interesting protection app called LockMyApps can help solve this embarrassment . After you start the service of LockMyApps, as your friend unexpectedly/intentionally open the sensitive apps, and then LockMyApps uses the stop or pause mechanism to protect these apps.
These apps seems to be broken, and won't ask your friend what's the password. So your friends may not know you have already intended to protect some apps if you hide the status icon.
Besides, if the kid uses the phone, you can use LockMyApps to lock the Dialer.
