So I'm looking to get a new bluetooth headset and I like the look and features of the jawbone icon, and I've seen reviews that show that it sends a battery status bar to the iPhone that displays next to the phone battery indicator. Does anyone know if it does this for android too? I've only really seen it advertised as working for the iPhone.

For anyone who has a Jawbone ICON, if you plug it into the computer to upgrade to the new programming it can now stream music from your DroidX. It was perfect timing for me because I was looking at buying bluetooth headphones and now I dont have to. Currently listening to Pandora through the ICON. I've also tested it on Scaner Radio.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just got a Jawbone Prime and it's absolutely amazing! However, after I charge it I have to restart my Eris to get it to connect. There isn't any problem if I move out of range and back. It connects right up. Is anyone else having this issue with a Jawbone? I'm not sure if it's a phone problem or a headset problem. I'm running leak v3 and haven't had this issue with the 2 other headsets I have.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just purchased the Jawbone Jambox. Very nice bit of kit and the sound is great.When I pair with my laptop, it works no problem outputting the sound from Spotify or Movies etc.
When I try and play music from my handset, it just comes out the handsets speakers even though it is paired. The same for games and video.I have an HTC Desire with Cyanogen 7 installed.
The Jambox has a built in mic and works fine when paired as a hands free setup. I hear the phone ringing from the speakers so that proves it is working.I have done a bit of reading and have found some posts talking about on the iPhone, you can set what the phone outputs the sound to. ie. The Jambox rather than the builtin speaker.
I have not been able to find anything like that for the ROM I am using or even mention of it for other Android handsets.
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 following queries. How can I display icon in Signal Area(what it is called?) ? Like default audio player when playback is on and u press HOME or BACK at last screen of audio player, Play icon is displayed in that areA? Kind of minimize application. How to display shortcut of media player? the minimal version of media player in that area

View 23 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a device that can do everything but without the phone feature (calls, text). I now this may sound weird but I already have a phone that I'm happy with. A few weeks ago, my car was burglarized and I lost my laptop, mp3 player, camera, video camera, gps navigation, gps watch. I'm looking for a device that can do everything that I've lost but won't hold me down with a phone contract.
Something sleek enough to fit in my pocket while I'm running or doing physical activity, crystal clear sound quality(very important), takes excellent pictures and video, GPS navigation for navigation and if possible(but not necessary), could track my movements like a garmin forerunner, check email over WiFi, great battery life. I've never owned a smartphone so I don't know if the features I need of the device works if I have no contract with it.
No iphones please, I don't want to be bogged down with itunes. I'm looking at Garmin-Asus Nuvifone or Droid X or Evo 4G or Nexus One(love the clean design) but I don't know if there are better options for me.
Can anyone give the list of additional features supported in Donut release Vs cupcake? Is there any website where such information is given? Regards, Ganesan. K Allgo Embedded Systems Pvt. Ltd.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently have an app on the market that supports Android 1.5 (SDK level 3) and up. It also takes advantage of several features that are only present in Android 2.0 (SDK level 5) and up. I do this using Reflection.
I read a post on the Android Developer Blog that talks about how to support these new features while using no Reflection, which would be amazing. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-to-have-your-cupcake-and-eat-it-too.html <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" android:targetSdkVersion="5" />
I have tested this out and while it works there is one huge downfall. Currently if I try to add a SDK level 5 class, but I don't know that it's a SDK level 5 class, there is no worries. Eclipse isnt going to find the class and I'm not going to be able to add it.
Using Google's recommended method does allow me to add the classes and gives me no notification that this code is targeted just to SDK level 5 users. This opens up too big of a possibility of adding in code that would break some users without knowing.
Does anyone know of any plugins, options, etc that would warn me at the places I have targeted SDK level 5 to keep this from happening?
I'm new to an internet supported smartphone. I primarily used calendar, notes & contacts on my old phone - XV6800.
I don't want to use my GPS device anymore, this is one of the main reasons I upgraded to Droid. I'm a sales rep and often need to drive to areas I'm unfamiliar with.
What is the easiest way to learn how to use the navigation feature on my Droid?
I am experimenting with Androids WebView[1] and its HTML5 features. I have written a little webpage with does the features detection like described here: http://diveintohtml5.org/detect.html
And now I see (I am on a SDK1.6 Emulator) that the LocalStorage, the WebWorkers and Offline Web Applications are not supported!
Does anyone know when these features will be supported? Or does anyone know the exact version (or build) of the webkit engine, that is used in Android 1.6?
I'm trying to use the HTML5 Geolocation features found in Android 2.0. However, it does not work in the browser or a WebView. I've tested in the emulator and on multiple devices. The code I have works in multiple other browsers that support the spec. Has anyone gotten this to work?

I've tried a number of players (built in, tunewiki, btunes, meridian, mixzing etc) and they all have good features but I can't find anything with all the features I want, any recommendations based on features below..?
Proper lock screen integration (like HTC player, not like btunes that sits on top)
Smooth coverflow style flicking of playing tracks (htc not bad, btunes bad)
Decent refresh without turning off phone (I update music via wifi and nothing so far handles refreshes well, even with a task kill)
Reads non standard genres (99% of my genres are custom and aren't read)
Support for png folder art
2x4 or 4x4 widget with folder/embedded art display
I just wanted to know,whether is it possible to Add extra menu items to Standard email client? I know that we can use the email client to compose/forward mails, as well as we can access the content.Was just wondering if we can add extra menu items along with the existing menu items.

I've used google to find something but without any luck. What are the default apps? Can I send MMS by default? Can I record video with it by default? The two most important extra features for me, doesn't matter if I need to get apps to do it, but kind of curious!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am very new to android, literally got my Desire HD yesterday.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any list which HTML5 features the WebView supports and which not? I am interested mainly in: 1) localStorage/sessionStorage 2) offline manifest 3) web sockets 4) web workers. Prior there was lack of those features (http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@googlegroups.com/msg60143.html), but in Android 2.1, first two should be supported, but I am not sure about 3 and 4. Is there any list of supported features or we have to test it on our own?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI find that the basic Androd (On SE Xperia X10) features reliable But basic and I'm very frustrated that I do not seem to be able to copy/paste out from received emails And it would be nicer if the same application handled Gmail too.
So are there any work-arounds or alternative email clients with more features available?
I have asked a similar question in the Droid app developers requests forum but have no responses yet.
Is it possible to add or change the existing applications?
For example, I would like to add a new floating window following the current people when I open the contact manager.
I just want to change it a little bit. And I don't want to rewrite all the features of contact manager.
Is it possible to do this?
As I understanding, the view of the contact manager is controlled by the activities of the "contact manager" application. How can my application react when the user opening the contact manager?
