I wanted to set the Gentle alarm application as my primary app when it is placed into the seidio multimedia station. It goes straight to the droid multimedia mode, then i have to switch over to the gentle alarm. I cant find any setting to make this happen.

Some Contacts defaulted to the Contact Details as a primary. I have tried changing the primary to the call number I want for the primary. It does not seem to work. Please tell me if I am doing this correctly. I press the people button on the home page, then I press the photo of the Contact I want to view. Then I press the Index Card Icon. I am now looking at the Contacts Details. I hold down the phone number I want to make primary. It never gives me the Make Primary Option. If the Contact shows no Primary, I can set a Primary. But if the Contact already shows a wrong Primary, I can't change it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been using the Desire with Froyo for quite some time and have 2 problems with it:
1) When I go to people and press send message, the phone instead of composing a message my phone starts dialing that number.
2) In my Favorites even though I have selected a primary number to dial, the phone keeps calling a different one on the list which was set a long time ago.
I thought that there was a default setting to change all numbers in Contacts to list a particular number (mobile, home, work, etc). I would like all of my contact's primary numbers to call home numbers and not mobile numbers. However, some of them are set to Work as primary while others are set to Home. How do I change this? Thanks

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a MK802 Android PC dongle on its way. It has no on/off switch so powers up when it is given juice and is shut down by pulling the cable. This is the same as pulling the battery and is a pretty violent way of doing it.
Is there an app available that does a gentle shutdown and allows Android to clean up before it goes? BTW, apparently the device comes already rooted.
I understand that userland apps on android cannot set the system clock. Wanting to know more about how the security mechanism is set up for the system I did some digging around in the source code.
/dev/alarm is opened R/W to set the system clock using SystemClock.setCurrentTimeMillis.
How the permissions work to determine whether or not an application has permission to set the clock.
I assume it's just a user level permission, and the write bit for /dev/ alarm is only enabled for the "system user" and not the "userland user" applications run under.
In my android app, I'm setting an alarm that I want to occur repeatedly, hence using AlarmManager.setRepeating().
I don't want to keep track of whether the alarm is set myself (sounds like a bad idea that's prone to fail at some point), and there seems to be no API support for checking whether a particular alarm is already set for a given Intent.
Hence, I am pessimistically resetting the alarm each time my app activates:
alarmManager.cancel(pendingIntent);
...
alarmManager.setRepeating(..., pendingIntent);
Question: is calling setRepeating() idempotent i.e. do I need to explicitly cancel() any prior alarm or can I safely just call setRepeating() and be done with it?
I am making a alarm app and was just wondering how do I show a alarm icon at the right side of the statusbar like the original alarm app? normal notifications appear in the left side and I cant find anything about this....

View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a repeating alarm setting, I have the activity being launched, the piece I'm missing is having this triggered after x minutes of inactivity.
I'm considering keying off of SCREEN_OFF in a service and then setting an alarm and canceling it on SCREEN_ON, does anyone have an intent or other suggestion for this. I've considering polling for tasks, all kinds of pieces but I'm stuck.
Requirement:
- App launches, alarm is set to relaunch app after 5 minutes, user exits/app exits after one minute
- alarm triggers, detects phone is in use, resets alarm to trigger in fives minutes
- if phone is idle relaunches app for one minute
I have written the code for setting an alarm. I am able to raise a toast successfully from my alarm receiver class when the time ticks off. Now i want to play the default mobile tone as well as vibrate thee phone.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an alarm application. I would like the alarm to play a podcast rather than sound an alarm. That way I can wake up to something a bit more interesting than a monotonous beep!
I've tried 'Appalarm', but can't see how to make that work with a podcast. 'News Alarm' is close, but I don't want to dismiss the alarm before I hear the podcast - the whole point is that the podcast will rise me from my sleep gently. Bit like a very simple 'old skool' radio alarm that you can buy from ebay for $1. Makes you wonder why my $500 phone can't do the same thing... (technological progression etc.)...
I still have not recieved my G1 and I was wondering if there was an alarm clock application on the phone?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI tried several alarm clocks on my droid, and they all seem to have a problem. if I set alarms for 6:30, 6:41, and 6:52 am. Each with a different sound. If i snooze alarm 1, alarm 2/3 never goes off. i thought all 3 would be seperate, but it seems only 1 can be active at a time. unless im doing something wrong. this happens on the default alarm clock and, better alarm clock.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an application that runs fine. However, if i set the alarm clock's alarm, it happens this:
1. The alarm is triggered 2. My application gets dimmed and the clock appears on top of it 3. When i close the alarm, my application CLOSES TOO
When the alarm is dismissed, my app receive the events onClose and onDestroy.
I already saw other apps that survive after the alarm is triggered.
I have an alarm app (free). When I kill my application with task killer alarm doesn't work. Is this something about closing application abnormal way or what can I do because I think I can't say people don't kill my app with task killer.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThere could be an app for an alarm clock. I have a problem waking up or well hitting the snooze maybe on the stock alarm clock add a pin number when you hit the snooze kind of wake your brain up by thinking.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm in desperate need of a calendar app that actually works properly. On my old phone, I just had everything set and I would get an alarm until I acknowledged it. I can't seem to find anything like this for my android phone. Can someone recommend an app that I can use which is basically set it and forget it. I want something that will notify me similar to how an alarm clock would rather than just a one time notification that I may miss.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two BroadcastReceiver registered. When the app is closed they both fire at the appropriate times and do the appropriate things. If the app is closed then killed (say with an AppKiller), the receivers never receive their broadcasts, and nothing happens. Presumably the same thing happens if the parent app is killed due to low memory, so how do I ensure those broadcasts are fired/received. The API states that even if the app is killed it should fire, does anyone else have experience with this situation? If it helps my manifest is:
<!-- receivers for AlarmManager -->
<receiver android:exported="true" android:label="Shift roster updating calendar."
android:name="com.skooter.shiftroster.backend.service.UpdateCalendar" >
</receiver> <receiver android:exported="true" android:label="Shift roster checking alarm."
android:name="com.skooter.shiftroster.backend.service.SetWakeup" >
</receiver>
and nothing esoteric is going on in the AlarmManager/BroadcastReceivers
I want to write an android application, that should have a homepage or home screen and having many utilities. Each utility should have an icon with the name. So clicking on each utility or the icon, the corresponding next screen should be displayed. It should be similar to the android home screen. Is there any sample application that i can refer? Could anybody please let me know, how to set the icons for the utilities in the homepage of my application.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for an app that sets specific actions (like changing ringtones, volume of notifications, e-mail notifies on/off) according to the SSID/availability of WiFi networks nearby. Pretty much like "locale" does for position, but tied to WiFi availability. The idea is that I can turn off e-mail alarms/notifies when I'm at home/work where I have a PC anyway (WiFi of home/work is detected) while automatically having them turned on when I leave the house (no wifi anymore).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have created several files in a res/values/styles.xml file.
Here's one of them:
CODE:..............
I can apply the style to a single element in the xml by setting the style element like this:
CODE:.................
So, that works, and I notice that change. But what I really want to do is use the style above to apply to my entire application. I thought I'd be able to use this line:
this.getApplicationContext().setTheme(R.style.BlueOnWhite);
Before the super.onCreate of the first activity. But it doesn't work. Should it?
Does it make sense that my alarm doesn't ever go off? No matter what settings I try, it never goes off. It always says "you're alarm is set for 8 hours and 37 minutes from now", yet it never goes off at that time. Does anyone else have this problem? Should I download an alarm app from the marketplace and if so which one is good?
