Android :: Cannot Operate Screen Due To Cold Weather?
Dec 17, 2009
I have a new Motorola Droid w/Verizon. Below 40F, my fingers will no longer operate the screen. Last night at 21F, I got a call that went directly to voice mail and when tried to check voicemail, the phone froze completely. I tried to restart it... it came up with "call in progress" when I tried to check voicemail. After about 15 minutes inside, the phone started working again normally. Is this a problem with all Droids or do I need to get another phone?

At one of my jobs I am forced to leave my phone in the car for about 3 hours. The temperature usually gets down to about 30 F. Will this damage my Eris, it is primarily the screen I am worried about. I've noticed the lcd performs a bit sluggish the colder it is. I read on another site leaving cell phones plugged into the charger might be a good idea but would that really keep the phone from getting cold?

I tap weather icon, get current location no city name and the weather info, I then tap "+" hit my location and it finds my city Corning NY, I add this to the weather app, I close out and hit weather app again and now I have to locations, the one that says current location and the one that says Corning NY, both weather datas are the same. My question is how to I delete or get rid of the current location weather data screen and have only the Corning NY screen when I open the weather app? The data for both is the same but I don't want 2 locations(one named) for the same data.

4.3" HTC HD2 - Windows Mobile
4.3" HTC EVO 4G - Android
Europe
4.3" HTC HD2 - Windows Mobile
...................- Android
See what im getting at? Us Europeans need some 4.3" android goodness. I was dead set on getting the desire but this new phone really reminded me of what i like about the HD2 (big screen). Im thinking of waiting a little and seeing if any rumors start flying around about a possible GSM 4.3" android handset. What are the chances we'll see one this summer? Or even by the end of the year? Dare i say, or ever? Im about to cry now..

I have a question about service, take a music player for example. While I am playing the music in background as a service. And then a phone call happens, what should the service do? Will the OS (android) pause the service, or will the developer who develop the service write code to detect things like this and define the operations? I did not find any material about this question, so I raise a new post here to find if anyone who is clear about this? Or can introduce me some material to read. Thanks very much!

I've been out side smoking and playing on my eris and I notice it really starts to lag in the cold. I live in Minnesota and winter here is pretty cold. I'm just wondering if any one else has experienced this?

I just got back from the VZW store near work, and didn't bring an X back with me. They only had one left, and the rep put it aside for me while I played with it (again). In the end, I just couldn't do it... I'm not even sure why, but the little voice in the back of my head kept telling me "no, don't do it." Anyone else go to a store with plans to buy, and then change their minds? FYI, someone else walked in and bought the phone right when I told the rep I was going to pass on it...

Usually I used some rugged type of flip phone and never had a problem. How well does the droid hold up to being out in the cold winter weather? Do I have to put this thing into 3 layers of protective pouches or what?

Is it possible to operate the wifi on an eris while having the phone/text service turned off (airplane mode)? My home is the only place that I don't get voice/text signal and if I leave my phone on it drains the battery searching for signal. I typically leave the phone in airplane mode while in the house and occasionally turn the airplane mode off to pick up the wifi and check email. Is there anyway to have the wifi operate continuously to notify me of emails, but have the voice/text service off to conserve battery?

Just so everyone knows, this headset is awesome. I got the Rogue at VZW store for $75. Also, those who don't know, the VIP program is discontinued - so nice of them to send notification. Paired beautifully - and if you have your Droid and another phone, it can take calls and manage calls on multiple phones.
Anyhow - it paired nicely, easy to operate, very clear on both ends, and it tells you the number that is calling audibly. There are "apps" for the headset and one of them is for voice dialing. I will try it, but the Droid hardware (I think) doesn't support it. We shall see. Anyhow, I always like a heads up when looking for a good product so I hope this helps someone.

I have started having crappy signal at my work for the past week. Finally i called verizon and there are no tower outages or anything they are aware of. Yes, i am in a building, but i have been in the same building for almost 2 years and with verizon for 1 year. I have always had 3 out of 4 bars of 3g service. Now my DB will say -85 or -90 which i know is fine but i'll have 0 of 4 bars or at best 1 and it will be 1x!!!!
I'm friekin' out because having no signal at work sucks. i'm missing calls and forget about downloading an app, it takes forever if it works. So my question is, did 2.2 do this? I got the OTA and it's been happening almost as long as i've had 2.2. i got 2.2 on the 22nd like everyone else and it probably started on the 24th.
Or is this simply a case of Verizon having to release an Alltel tower or something or a roaming agreement running out and now i am just screwed? I think this may be the case since nothing else seems to make sense. Oh and i did walk a city block away from my building outside and it's the same: -88 to -96 signal but 0 bars or at best 1 bar. what happened to my poor droid x? now my battery life is sucking too because it's always searching for a signal and wearing itself out!!! Sad, sad, sad. Again, only in the last week has this happened to me. I'm rooted but i had stock 2.1 and got the official 2.2 ota. only rooted so i could rename bloatware. my phone had AMAZING reception before! I even saw a -59 once which i'd never got down to on my droid 1 (mostly low -80's).

I'm trying to get a vertical seekbar going with the emulator, but I'm sort of stuck. I can get the seekbar to display the way I want it to, and I can get the progress to do what I want, and I can modify the onTouchEvent to get the thumb to go vertically instead of horizontally. What I can't do is get the thumb to move outside of the default 29 horizontal pixels without using setThumbOffset(). This in itself isn't a problem. The problem is coming from the fact that I don't understand the thumb Offset at all -- I guess. I think I could (properly) resize the widget, which I am pretty sure I'm not doing right. Or maybe I could just use the thumb Offset if I could figure it out. Since I can calculate the progress correctly I thought I would just use a linear function of progress * (get Top() - get Bottom()) of the widget but that doesn't seem to do it. But I can't figure out what the offset is centered around. As a somewhat aside, I am really unsure if what I am doing in onSizeChanged() is sane or if it's going to bite me in the ass later
on. Here's the main.xml layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Linear Layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
And the class (ignore the debugging junk):
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.SeekBar;
public class Slide Bar extends Seek Bar {
private int oHeight = 320, oWidth = 29;
private int oProgress = -1, oOffset = -1;;
private float xPos = -1, yPos = -1;
private int top = -1, bottom = -1, left = -1, right = -1;
public Slide Bar(Context context) {
super(context);}

I finally deleted Advanced Task Killer. Ever since getting my Eris, I have been dependent upon it. I have in fact been obsessed with it, making sure I clicked the ATK widget to kill all programs before ever putting my phone to sleep. I was obsessed with battery life and the Messages App issue. Now, I am giving it a shot.
My two biggest concerns are phone speed and battery life. My battery life has been fine, mostly because I shut my 3G off when I am at home or work. My phone speed has been lagging considerably, and I am hoping that deleting ATK, along with deleting some unused Apps and clearing the cache, will help keyboard lag and general app lag. I will keep you posted to see what happens. I am excited, I know that a lot of you have highly suggested not using Task Killers, and I am excited to not be bound by it. However after a week if I notice considerable battery life loss, and no considerable difference in device speed, I may reinstall it. We shall see!

Hemmadroid prefers to use her Dinc on wi-fi and seldom uses it on 3G. When her Verizon contract is completed in 2 years, could she drop the data plan and just use wi-fi on the web?

Merely turning your phone on may be enough to prevent it from sleeping. What I'm about to tell you is 100% repeatable. I've done it about ten times now; it has happened every time. I'm running the stock Android 2.1 ROM from Sprint. <Background> When Android boots, it preloads a huge number of apps into RAM. Essentially, it's starting JVM processes and loading the classes of applications without actually executing any of their code. Android does this to reduce the lag you would feel when activating one of these apps. These preloaded apps are said to be EMPTY. There's no real penalty for preloading these apps since they're loaded in the background in otherwise idle CPU cycles and their processes will be terminated as needed to free up RAM for applications you begin using. </Background>
Although it should be impossible, one of those preloaded apps is preventing the Hero from sleeping. By process of elimination, I have found which one it is: Footprints.............

Curious...does the weather on the home screen animate the same way as the HD2? I've always liked that on the HD2 but not seen it operating on the Evo.For those not sure what I'm talking about, see the HD2 vs Evo comparison at 6:57 of this video review.

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing a problem with the full screen weather widget where when you scroll to it it says "Loading Data" then goes completely blank and then cant do anything with it. Removing the widget and re-adding makes it work again a reboot also brings it back to life for a couple of seconds but then goes blank. Clicking on the weather picture on the clock still brings up the details weather screen.

On the Desire home screen I have a clock with what should be the weather info underneath which is the standard home screen.The weather info is blank apart from the name of a nearby village which i believe is where the nearest phone mast is located. (the picture on the box the phone came shows Barcelona with lots of weather info).If I tap on the blank area next to whe name I get the weather screen opening up with the name of the village where the mast is, and the word "current" in brackets next to it and the info is all showing "0" if I update it the message appears "no weather data available".I can chose another location (various pre loaded or choose Manchester UK by searching ) then choosing my desired location which then shows data.When I return to the main desire home screen the village name is back under the clock with no weather info.I guess the HTC is trying to get the weather data for the mast location nearest my phone as a default setting, I dont know how or if I can override this so that I can have my desired location (ie Manchester uk) wether data showing under the clock on the home page permanently.

The weather has disappeared right where the digital clock is on the home screen. It says the current town, but no weather data appears. Has anyone had this problem?
