Android :: Power Management That Indicates About 15% Of Wifi Usage
Feb 19, 2010I just bought a G1 from a friend and am exploring how I am going to use this. I am not much of a cell user, I want this more for the wifi access and am playing with Google Voice. I have a pay as you go call plan, no data plan, and am in a wifi zone about 90% of the time I would want to use it. All is functioning well.
I am finding that the battery barely makes it through the day even with light usage. The power manager indicates that about 15% of my usage is wifi, even when I didn't actually connect. I am thinking that the device is working hard scanning for an open connection. Like I said, 90% of the time I am in a known wifi zone with a "remembered" account. So it doesn't really need to be looking all the time. What would be really cool is if there's an app to toggle wifi based on location. I think by GPS since it would be more accurate. Wifi could be off until I get to a given location, then it would automatically fire up and connect.
Android :: Power Management Framework For Saving Batterlife
May 14, 2009Android has provided Power management framework for saving batterlife. But this is limited to screen/key lights. I am exploring ways to enhance this scheme for other use cases like camera, media playback by changing CPU frequency. I would like to know what support is available for this from Android kernel.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHTC EVO 4G :: Poor Power Management?
Jul 3, 2010I went for a drive today and put the Evo on the mount I built for my car, plugged it in to the radio and also in to the car charger. I have Slacker Radio set to leave the screen on as long as it is connected to power. My battery was probably about 95% and during the drive, it was charging and, while listening to Slacker, the screen stayed on. However, not long before I reached my destination, my battery got to 100%, the green LED was on, and the screen would follow the 30 second shut off that my phone is set to. I could no longer get Slacker to recognize when the phone was connected to power. Anyone have a similar experience? I'm hoping this was isolated to that one instance (some perfect storm of other settings, use, etc), but I have a feeling it isn't.

Aug 17, 2009Searched the forum for an existing thread, and couldn't believe there wasn't one on this subject! I didn't expect the battery life to be great, but it's worse than I'd hoped,Obviously, setting the screen brightness to minimum is one way. I've also tried to see if you can 'turn off' applications which may be running in the background, but can't find a way to do this. My previous Nokias allowed you to see what programs were running, and you could turn them off to save battery power. I know a selling point of the Hero is that you can switch to applications quickly without 'loading them up', but is this killing the battery?

Android :: Project Management / Business - Money Management Applications?
Oct 30, 2009I currently have a personal (HTC Touch Pro) and business phone (iPhone). With Sprint now offering unlimited any-mobile (freeing up 1300+ minutes a month on my family plan) and Google Voice allowing me to get a separate business number, I'm thinking about dropping my iPhone, and replacing the HTC with either a BlackBerry Tour or a Hero. I work in project management; I know that the BB does have applications that would be useful to me (as does the iPhone), but I can't find comparable apps for Android. As a personal phone though, I would rather have the Hero. Given that I've only been able to spend a limited amount of time browsing the Android Market in a Sprint store, I was hoping someone here might know of some good replacements for my "must have" apps.
1) PIM / Task management. I have a lot of tasks, meetings, and deadlines to manage. I need something similar to the functionality provided by Outlook. I currently use Pocket Informant on the iPhone, which allows me to view multiple calandars, see my schedule from the month-level view, and integrate my to-do lists. I can also assign calander events and to-do tasks to projects, give them priority, provide extra notes, add multiple reminders, etc.. I could probably live with the Android's calander, but I definately need a good to-do app.
2) Time tracking. I have an app on the iPhone (TimeLogger) that lets me track how much time I spend on projects for clients. The one I currently use allows me to start a timer and then come back later to stop it, which is helpful but not a must.
3) Personal finance manager. I track all of my purchases, have several accounts / cards, and need to be able to track/filter business vs personal purchases.
Android :: Application - Activity's Memory Management
Mar 1, 2010I have a problem with my application, and it's about a Virtual memory error: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(19790): java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget
The story is like this: I have an activity (let's call it A), the user click on a button from this activity, then i will make an api call somewhere in the internet, and after the result is back i start a subactivity (let's call it B).
In the activity B i have to dinamicaly load some images from the resources folder. I load the images into bitmaps -> drawables -> imageviews. After the user click's on some buttons i have to setResult(..), finish(), and get back to activity A.
The thing is that, goes from activity A to B, then B -> A, then A -> B for a few times, my app crashes with the message above: it doesn't have enough memory to load the interface.
I can not maintain the activity B on the stack because i don't want the user to go to this activity without going through activity A first.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: EditTexts And Handles
Jan 26, 2010I have an issue with an application I'm writing for Android. Here's the problem: I need to create several EditText fields on the fly, while still maintaining some sort of handle to each individual one. For example: I create four EditText's, and I wish to submit the information from them to a server via an HTTP connection. How do I get the user-inputted data out of these EditText's after they have been created? (I guess what I'm asking is how exactly do I use the setId() method, because it doesn't seem to be working for me).

View 6 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Application Killing - Expending Power
Nov 11, 2009It seems to me that all of these much-touted app killing programs are pretty much worthless. I kill all sorts of stuff I never even opened, and 5 minutes later, it's back again. I'm probably expending more power killing programs than I would if I just let the phone sit idle. Am I mistaken? What good are the app killing programs if the programs keep coming back? I'm starting to wonder if the hyped "run multiple applications at once" bit is more of a drawback than anything. Edit: Would there be any harm in removing the Footprints, Twitter, Gmail and Market programs that came with the phone that I don't use yet keep popping up?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Power Consumption - Profiling Of Application
Aug 20, 2010I'm the developer of PowerTutor, a power profiling tool for the system. This tool profiles the system power consumption and decomposes power consumption on hardware components (e.g. LCD, Wi-Fi, CPU and etc.). It also assigns power consumption to individual application as the application is running alone in the system. In this way, it could potentially help developers to profile the app and detect energy inefficiency usage behavior in the application.
More details could be found at http://powertutor.org.
Note that PowerTutor is free to download and no advertisement is embedded. I'm posting this here to so that the Android community can be aware of it. Any one who cares about power consumption of their applications will find it useful.

General :: How Does Android Handles Cache And Storage
Mar 29, 2013I have a HTC EVO 3D for months now and I've never experienced issues with it, but I aways have plenty of storage left and have done a system reset once so I don't know how it behaves. I'm very curious about this because I've explored some apps cache sizes and for example Facebook was about 50 MB. Is there a limit?
I'd like to know what happens when the internal storage runs out of space. Does Android (regardless of device / custom manufacturers "skins") automatically take care of deleting old cache files from apps?
I mean, if you run out of internal storage in a Nexus device, what happens?
Android :: Security Lock Application / Enabling Code For Power On
Jan 24, 2010Seems to me that Lock 2.0 is the best Screen Lock I've found. Only Issue is, even with the security code enabled, all one has to do is power on/off the phone and your in with no need for the code. What I am looking for is a locking app that doesn't get disabled when powering the phone off/on. Looking for something secure much like every BB has where no matter what you do, to proceed into the phone you need to type in the Lock Code.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: Yahoo IM Client That Handles Linked Accounts?
Jun 19, 2010Does anyone know of a Yahoo IM client that handles linked (AKA Aliases) accounts? I have tried the following clients:
- Meebo
- Palringo
- IM +
- eBuddy
- Nimbuzz
- Hi Yahoo
- Yahoo Droid
They all have the same issue which is: I have linked yahoo accounts (a primary with other accounts linked). When I log into a yahoo account with the above clients and I receive an IM to a linked account, I receive the IM just fine, but when I respond to the IM, it will send from the primary (or logged in) account and NOT the account that IM was sent too. What SHOULD happen is the IM should be sent from the account that the IM was sent too just like the desktop app works.
HTC Desire :: Bluetooth - How It Handles Calls - Media
Jun 18, 2010I have the following setup:
Desire
Aux Input (for music)
SuperTooth One BlueTooth Hands Free
When I drive, I use the HTC Desire to play the sat nav instructions and music out of the Aux to the stereo however, if I enable Bluetooth, all music and commands are sent through the Bluetooth receiver instead.
On the iPhone, you have the option to route audio through headphones socket or through the BT device - but cannot find out how to do it on the Desire.
Are there any applications that make it possible to route calls out via BT and everything else out over the Aux?

View 49 Replies View RelatedBluetooth Adapter Which Handles Sending And Receiving Messages
Sep 23, 2011I'm writing an app which contains three tabs.. let's just call them TabA, TabB, and TabC.
In my main class which extends TabActivity I have a Bluetooth Adapter which handles sending and receiving messages. I initialize the BluetoothAdapter onStart. Part of the initialization tries to reference controls on the three tabs. But my problem is that only TabA (my default tab) has been initialized at this point so when it tries to access TabB and TabC, they're still null.. How can I initialize all 3 activities, and access controls on each of the tabs when receiving messages from the BluetoothAdapter? (Basically I want TabA to contain a TextView to log all messages, TabB will contain a few controls like sliders and checkboxes that will change based on the messages recieved, and TabC will just have an array of buttons that send specific data..)

View 6 Replies View RelatedAndroid :: How Android Handles PCM Data From Voice Call?
Oct 14, 2010I am trying to understand whether or not Android handles the phone conversation's audio stream or it is done outside Android's framework. Specifically, if, for example, Android controls a cellular processor that provides PCM interface for voice conversation and there is a need to send audio over Bluetooth instead of using mic/speakers, how this is handled? There are two ways here to the best of my understanding:
1. Route PCM from cellular to audio port on Android CPU, then let Android receive the stream and send it to BT stack for processing and eventually pushing to BT hardware over HCI 2. Have Android control a HW switch that will route PCM directly to BT HW using direct PCM interface Which one applies? Is there a preferable way (best usage of resources provided by Android)?
