View 1 RepliesI just ran across the 'PAW Server' app and it's pretty neat so far. I don't want to use it with http though, so I enabled https and restarted the app. It doesn't work at all now. I enabled bluetooth so I could manually update the config file on the sdcard and restart the server in http mode. It instantly started working again. I've tried a couple of different ports but can't get the https mode to work at all. The docs say that it will be slower which is understandable, but since it's not working at all I have to assume that I'm doing something wrong and missing something obvious. Anyone else using the PAW Server app with https enabled?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a long lived service, it wakes up (via the AlarmManager) at intervals and connects to a web server. If the phone goes to sleep and one of my polling intervals happens the phone wakes up enough to let me attempt to connect to the network but the ConnectionManager claims there is no network. Given the system log this is correct, it was torn down. Pushing "Menu" once is enough to get the network back up and then my service can connect. How do I get the network to reconstruct itself?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like my app to do something when another application is opened.
The current approach I have taken is to create a broadcast receiver that monitors all
android.intent.action.MAIN
events, but either I am not doing it correctly or the way I am going about it is incorrect. The section of the manifest looks like this code...
I included the launcher category just as a test. GetApp currently is only set to make a log entry when called.
I was on this very forum typing a reply using Uber Keyboard. I was using dolphin. All of a sudden the options screen for Uber Keyboard (BTW, I don't like it anymore. only got it for the speech to text feature) popped up and kindof self navigated to a deeper menu. I tried using the back button. This cause all of the buttons/keys to light up full brightness and then the screen went black, but the keys stayed lit. I tried pressing the end key but nothing happened. Then all of a sudden the the Android and Verizon splash logo's came up (very fast, not anywhere near as long as when you power on the phone). The phone came back to a normal state as it usually does from a power on and everything is fine.

I had to restart the phone in order for 4G to become available again...since then shapewriter has constantly "force close" on me...I don't know if that is the issue since I just installed it today Should I take the phone back because it just randomly restarted on me and the 4G wouldn't work? Anyone else have this happen to them?
I'd like to write sthg like a logger for my Android phone where I log whenever an application/activity is started respectively created. So it's not only about my own stuff but about all the stuff that gets started on the phone. Is there sthg like an intent flying around or any kind of stuff that I could catch?

But the phone restarted the first day when I played the demo video. Within 5 days the phone has restarted for about 4 times when I was playing other videos. How to get rid of this problem?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was sitting at my work desk and my phone restarted itself out of nowhere. No updating was done, I was at 55% battery and it wasn't even touched. I was at my desk for about 30 minutes straight, it's laying face up and I saw the phone restart.

Walked away as it was taking a wile. Forgot about it and today its acting all kind of crazy! everytime I press menu the camera pops up or it restarts! I checked and it still shows 2.1 update 1 in the phone info. Took a few times to get to it as everytime I tried to check it the phone restarted. I want to backup my messages and reformat it and see if it helps! Anyone know of a good app to backup the phone with?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy music application constantly plays music in the background, however I'd like to be able to detect when another application starts playing audio (such as the YouTube app) so I can pause/mute/stop the audio in my application. This will allow a user to continue browsing the web whilst listening to music, but then if they wish to watch a video at any point, they can do so without audio conflict.
One solution might be to listen for a broadcast which states when an application begins using the AudioManager. Does such an Intent Action exist? Edit: As in the answer provided below, there appears to be a method of detecting the loss of audio focus in 2.2 with AudioManager.OnAudioFocusChangeListener.
I'm developing an Android application that consists of:
a lightweight background service that logs events to a DB
a heavier GUI application that summarizes these events and displays graphs.
I'm having trouble creating the service part, though. The graphic application can use quite some RAM, and when it goes to the background, the OS closes it after some time of not being used.
The problem is, when the application gets shut down, so does the service. This is bad because this keeps me from recording further events. I don't care if the application gets terminated, but the service needs to keep on running.
I have tried numerous ways to keep the service alive, like having it use threads or a differently named process than the main app. Nothing has worked, and I have found no help on any of the android developer pages or forums.
I just did a *228 and my phone had an on screen notification (not in the bar) that said something about OTA, and my phone restarted.

startService(new Intent(ClassName.this, ClassName2.class));
stopService(new Intent(ClassName.this, ClassName2.class));
This means I will have to somehow add the 'stopService()' for 7+ of my app classes
I've researched this topic and I think there's 'onTerminate' but still not sure how this should be implemented.
I recently bought X1-mini, from the day 1 onwards, while opening the camera the phone was getting restarted (its happening sometimes)...Can anybody having this problem, i'm using Adroid2.1 update.

View 3 Replies View RelatedNow I know this has been brought up before and I've followed the advice: tried turning on Google Talk, rebooting etc. In fact I can rarely get GT to sign in either but even when I do, it makes no difference to the apps I'm trying to download. When I first got the phone, I managed to download a couple of apps without problems but now I can't. Everything gets stuck on 'starting download' whatever I do. I'm trying it on a wireless network as it's rare I can get 3GS up.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post and it comes with some questions:
First and foremost at random times my 3G is turned off even though I haven't turned it off...go into the setting and it says its still on. Only way to turn it back on is to turn it off and then turn it back on? Any ideas just a problem with the phone maybe. Didn't know if anyone has encountered this problem
Second is there and application that I can use that will let me select what things will startup with a reset of the phone? Also is there an easy way to reset the phone without a battery pull? I just like to do this when Unistalling apps and installing apps...always seems faster after downloading or Unistalling after I do this.
You can see property action android:name= property is "android.intent.action.MAIN" and categoryandroid:name= is "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" for all activities.When application starts up, it calls First Activity. Then calls useless Activity such as ThirdActivity or Second Activity.In this case, is my manifest.xml correct?Or, do I need to set another property to Second and Third activity? If so, what is that?I wonder manifest.xml file is right for my case.

I've to log off or restart my laptop to be able to connect the phone with htc sync again but when I start eclipse the connection is lost again.
I am am recent migrant from Blackberry. One of the nice things on the BB was that when you set the alarm, you can switch the BB off overnight and be sure that at the set alarm time, the BB wakes and the alarm goes off. The alarm on the HTC Desire does not seem to do that - i.e. when I turned it off overnight it did not wake when the alarm should have gone off. I tried a couple of other alarm apps and no luck. Is there an alarm app for my requirement? Or is this not possible with an Android phone?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am developin with Eclipse on an Android device. Each time I want to install the new version of the app on the device I need to connect it, enable USB Debugging, install the app, disable USB Debugging, unplug the device (optional). I was wondering if it was safe to just unplug the device without disabling USB Debugging. After all, the device is not mounted, right? But there is the adb, talking to it. It would be much more convenient to be able to do that. Does anyone know if it is safe or unsafe?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have recently Bought an S9300 phone and when received all was working OK. And I was really happy with the phone. BTW the phone runs on Android 4.1.1 OS (MTK6577).After a week I started experiencing problems with the camera and gallery. The seller instructed me to reset factory settings. This didn't work.
Then he sent me the firmware so that I would Upgrade it. This has been done but know, after upgrading firmware, when I turn my phone on all I get is a blank white screen. Although the hardware seems to be responding to button commands, the blank white screen persists.
To Upgrade the firmware I used the Smart Phone Flash Tool.
Just loaded up CyanogenMod6 RC3 last night and since then my phone has frozen twice. I'm on the 2.xx radio not the 2.15. Should I up the radio? Or is the freezing a known issue with CM6?

I noticed this before loading the ROM, but thought it had stopped since, anyone have the same problems and is there anything that I can do? Would loading the new official ROM make it any better than the Madaco ROM?
View 5 Replies View Relatedmy phone has started running hot. I'm not talking about when I'm charging it, I expect it to get warm while charging, I'm talking about just normal use. It gets very warm, almost hot, back of the phone, above the battery, near the camera lens/sd card/sim card area. Again the battery is cool to the touch if I remove the cover, but the area above the battery is getting really hot, and I noticed when my phone gets hot, the battery life starts to drain like crazy.
