Android :: Turn Off Threaded Messaging And Revert To More Classic Look?
Mar 27, 2010
I have the original T-Mobile G1 and am generally fond of it, actually so fond im on the verge of getting myself the HTC Desire when it hits the stores here. There are however a few things that "bug" me at present.
1: Is it possible to install and use programs directly from the memory card, or does programs still have to be installed to memeory with the newest release of Android OS?
2: Isn't it possible to turn of threaded messsaging and revert to the more classic look?. Either directly through the native client or through a 3rd party text messaging client?
3: And what about saving some of your texts?. Cause you know once in a while you recieve a text thats worth saving, and at present I don't seem to be able to find that option in 'Droid. So is that not supported or does that "just" require 3rd party software.
4: And have they finally fixed the forced google sync?. Where you can ONLY get contacts and stuff to your android device through gmail. Because im honestly a bit concerned with the fact that Google "owns" everything on gmail.

Is there any way to turn off Threaded messaging on the default messenger? Has anyone had any luck finding an app on the Market that allows standard messaging...I really hate threaded messaging!

I have installed ChompSMS, and it works great. But the standard messaging program is still there, and has all the messages in it as well.
Is there a way for Chomp only to get the messages, and the standard one to stay blank?

Now that we installed ChompSMS, we need to turn off the notifications in the stock messaging app so that we don't get two notifications for each message. But I don't find any settings in the messaging app menu so that I can change it there. And I can't find it in the general Settings. So, how do I do this?

I installed Handcent because of the battery drain issue, and like it a lot, but now I cannot turn off the OEM Messages program. I tried going into the Settings>Applications>Manage Applications to turn it off, and it doesn't work. I also did the "Use Handcent as default SMS" when that box first pops up. I get two different ringtone notifications too. Although I switched the ringer to the same one both through the phone's settings and through Handcent's settings.

I have just updated my phone to 2.1. Also I have two email accounts. One Gmail and one dslextreme account. It used to be that when I got email from one or both accounts I would get a little envelope in my notification bar. Dragging that down it would show me the email in the Gmail account and the dslextreme account. But now I have a third notification with the google M in it. If I click it it opens a "conversation" window with the email. I can respond to it and it works just fine. But if I click on the Gmail email I get the usual looking email format. Now the interesting thing is if I ignore the google M and go straight to the google email and deal with the email from there the google M conversation disappears. Thank you for bearing with me through that lengthly explanation but here is my question. How do I turn off this google M conversation? I don't want that third notification nor do I want that style of email delivered. I want to go back to the standard type of email delivery. It's coming to my phone alright but I don't want dual notifications. I remember when I was setting up this new OS that a box came up and I checked this google M not understanding what it was but I have looked through all my settings and can't figure out how to shut it off.

The following link states that "A Java or RCP version of Eclipse is recommended. For Eclipse 3.5, the "Eclipse Classic" version is recommended."
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
However, Eclipse 3.6 is available and as a total newbie I am not sure whether the recommendation for "Eclipse Classic" over RCP (or Java) still holds true.

How can I disable this conversation mode and enable the classic sms mode?

Just got my HTC Desire and one of the things I'm really struggling with is threaded SMS. I can't find any way to go to regular view in the stock SMS program! That would be an unbelievable omission if it's not possible to use SMS in a normal fashion
It basically means my SMS inbox groups SMS by contact and each conversation has about 20 SMS in threads already and I've only been using it for a few days. I can see that ending up being in the hundreds within a couple of months. It also means you need many more screen taps to view the message you want to find. I can't find a way to view all the messages I've sent either, I have to go through each conversation................

I know it is possible to develop a full flex application using AIR for android but what I need is to embed a flex component into an already existing classic Java android application.
I found some flash players in java but they all either require a JFrame or include of specific windows dlls.
Is it even possible ? I found no info on the net about this

I am requesting information from a web service in my android app. The web service returns a list of items, each item having a base64 image and some info
First method: simply access the web service and get the result. This means freeze of UI until data is downloaded. Not a good solution
Second method: put the data download in a thread, and display a progress bar with a message.
private void StartGettingData()
{
viewInfo = new Runnable(){
public void run() {
getData(); //from the web service.......................

Our Android app does a lot of image decoding. We fetch a lot of images from the internet, local storage caches, etc. Up to now, these images are being decoded on the UI thread (using BitmapFactory.decodeX() methods). It's been causing some timeout crashes because the UI doesn't respond quickly enough to user input.
I could write a little AsyncTask that encapsulates decoding, but I'm not sure that's a good idea. Spawning threads is expensive, and that would be spawning and tearing down a ton of them. So what's the best way to put this on another thread? Do I need to go to the extent of writing a Service? That seems a little heavy-weight. Are there any solutions for this already out there?

Its been a while since I've done any coding, I'm new to android, and unfortunately my first job is rather tricky. My program need to display horizontally scrolling text and images, but it need to set the scroll speed quiet finely. Now I've been looing at some examples with TextView and some also use android.widget.Scroller.
Now I'm pretty sure I'll have to write this from scratch, but what i want to know, is there a clear way that i should use in creating the class. I could try expanding on the TextView class and use its methods. Or should I just write a class to treat text and images the same?

I have an app making an https post on one thread while performing a file download on another thread. For some odd reason, I am getting a ClientProtocolException saying that "The server failed to respond with a valid HTTP response". The error goes away if everything is run on a separate thread. Oddly if I run the two server requests in serial, the error goes away. It seems there's a bug that happens when two requests are made at the same time.
Important note: The post occurs to a different server than the download so the servers themselves should not be causing the problem. The code is simple. Here's the file download code:.............

Google has provided the ability to disable (Turn Off) conversation view for the web-based version of Gmail. See Turn off Gmail�s conversation view - Official Gmail Blog for more details. My take is they're only half way there if your an Android user like myself. Has anyone heard if this feature will be making its way to the Gmail app for Android?

Are there any Android phones that are multi-processor (multi-core/ cpu), where application threads execute concurrently on different processors?
There doesn't seem to be any explicit way of doing asynchronous file I/ O or asynchronous resource loading. So, suppose I put BitmapFactory.decodeResource() or Resources.openRawResource() into a separate thread. Will those methods play nice with the other threads, yielding during blocking I/O operations so those other threads can run?
If those methods rely on the thread scheduler to forcibly suspend them, then the separate resource-loading thread isn't going to help me get my application started any faster (although it will help it to be more responsive to user input).

I was using for sometime now OpenGL initialization code from Api demos and it was quite hard to exchange events between View and Renderer. So, I read pieces of documentation from GLES, EGL from jsr239 and finally made the single threaded GL initialization code which is much simpler than in ApiDemos. Here it is:
import javax.microedition.khronos.egl.EGL10; import javax.microedition.khronos.egl.EGLConfig; import javax.microedition.khronos.egl.EGLContext; import javax.microedition.khronos.egl.EGLDisplay; import javax.microedition.khronos.egl.EGLSurface; import javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10;
import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.os.Handler; import.................

The threaded SMS in my Hero is sc**ed up. I know the issue is with my network (Vodafone India) as it puts in sh*t a$$ time stamps on all my incoming SMS's. I would like to know if there is any way I can get my incoming SMS's to show up the phone time rather than the incorrect time put in by Vodafone?

I really appreciate the threaded messages in android phones but i have a strange experience with it once in a while. When you text back and forth you get all these messages in like a chat form following the order of the conversation but sometimes i would all get my messages in a cluster while the response of my friend would be thrown somewhere in the beginning or at the end. I have no problem with sending and receiving but they sometimes don't come in the right order. I don't know if i have explained myself well or if you guys can see my problem.

Is there a way we can import threaded sms messages from an Iphone to HTC desire. Have also converted the SMS from iphone to a txt file. The SMS backup and restore software for HTC desire needs an XML file to restore.
Haven't tried restoring from a TXT file though. Wanted to know if there's an easier method around?

I'm a VB/vba coder and would like to start android dev. Currently I'm learning Java from scratch and. Its quite tough. I've read about oop but never actually written any OO code. Java syntax is also quite foreign but I'm getting the hang of it. My question is, which is absolutely the best transition path for a vb old dog to writing for froyo?

I really hate the Threaded / Conversation view. I found an alternative for gmail, using htc mail. However, I'm looking for a way to disable it in both the Google Voice app and the regular SMS app.

Is it possible to disable threaded conversations in gmail on the droid? I'm surprised i havent found anything on this yet - emails of information for non-related clients are grouped together because they come from the same source, making it very easy to miss new important emails since they dont appear at the top.Also, it's impossible to erase all the unnecessary emails without also deleting the few important ones.I didnt care about this on my iphone b/c the new emails just came in normally at the top of the inbox.I've overlooked several new emails b/c of this.
