Who else is anxiously waiting for the next generation of Android phones to come out?I recall Motorola saying they will be releasing a 2Ghz phone by the end of this year? Any speculation on whether these phones will be 4G? Can anyone say dual snapdragons! Also, side note I enabled a profile pic, but its not being displayed what the deal with that?

Good article thought you guys might want to see. They say absolutely nothing about the moment, but possibly the behold 2. What is the Android 2.0 release date for first generation phones?
View 2 Replies View RelatedBeing that i have the original droid and its not a year old, i think im just going to wait to get a new phone. Rooting has already taken the droid to 1ghz and beyond, plus froyo is available too. Verzion will be redoing their network soon, so that means many phones will be useless. I really would like to tryout the droid x, but the only way for me to get it is to pay outright or buy it off of ebay. The droid 2 will be coming out soon, but the specs on it are kinda shady right now. These are just my thoughts. What are yours?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am facing a problem with Bluetooth Headset and KeyCharacter Mapping. When I press play/pause button from Samsung sbh-, its not getting reflected in Phone. I traced and came to know that, normally scan code of 164, keycode of 85 is formed when i press Headset play/pause. And PhoneWindow manager will intercept this and send ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON if keycode =85 (KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE). But keycode that I'm getting is 0 even when i press headset play/pause in PhoneWindow Manager. Even in KeyInputQueue, the keycode that is obtained is 0. Does anybody when keycode gets generated?

What I'd like to be able to do ideally is have Eclipse pop up a dialog box that lets me specify the name of the resource and the value for it. Then Eclipse would generate the code in strings.xml and paste the correct reference to the string at the cursor position.
View 1 Replies View RelatedStrangely I find no support for Midi in Android.
The only thing that comes close is the Jetplayer, but this only takes a existing .jet file.
I want to dynamically generate a midi file with some intervals and play it.
I even thought about just manually creating a .jet file with a tone and then transposing it with the jet player, but it limits the transposing to -12, +12. Which is not so good for me.
There also is a ToneGenerator on Android, but it's limited to predefined tones with no way to transpose.
Does someone know how to achieve midi generation and playback on Android?
It looks like ics automatically runs the "Android is Upgrading" thing whenever it senses some "change" in boot.img? It happens everytime i flash a kernel, without wiping dalvik cache. It will continue to run regardless of whether the dalvik cache files are present or not. This is actually a good feature.
But i noticed that if i simply do a nandroid backup of /boot, and restore it without doing anything else, or flash the same kernel again, it will boot up with the "Android is Upgrading" thing again from the start.
is there a way to disable this, or at least prevent dalvik cache generation if they are already present? im using amon Ra recovery

Am I the only one who lurks on the Incredible boards whenever I visit AF? I figured the Incredible is in a way a cousin of the EVO (smaller, no 4G) so I'm trying to get at least a little bit of a heads up of what to expect when the EVO launches. I'm also new to Android so I'm picking up little tidbits in there as well. Call me crazy but it helps me cope with our wait.
View 32 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to simulate or create a waiting voicemail message. I know there has a question about this that have been on the mailing-list/group here: http://bit.ly/b6ITDQ
In investigating trying to get a voicemail message simulated w/ the AVD Emulator, I tried just setting the incoming mail to "SEND_TO_VOICEMAIL" - but that does not create a message. There is not an indicator that the call was made until you check your call log (which is the expected behavior, so no complaints there).
I have looking through the Android documentation, tutorials/samples, and reference. I cannot find anything talking about creating or bootstrapping a voicemail message (and I haven't seen anything about handling other instances of a "Message Waiting Indicator").
I've looked around on a couple other message forums, like anddev.org, and haven't seen any examples dealing with voicemail. I have a Safari account and searched in the Android dev books and only find mention of the Intent URI for the Dailer (voicemail:).
If looks like when I'm trying to achieve would be done by creating a Notification and passing it to NotificationManager.notify() as done in this example article:[url]
Would PendingIntent be the Intent that I'm looking for? I'm new to the platform/api, so I'm likely just missing some knowledge on what I'm trying to do is called. I have done a fair bit of looking around, but I've reached a bit where I feel I'm going in circles.
If looks like once I could create/simulate voicemail, then I'd chance need to create a PhoneStateListener with a definition of onMessageWaitingIndicatorChanged() and call TelephonyManager.listen().
If I have missed a place to check or a resource - just point me briefly in that direction.
I am currently learning about widgets in Android.I want to create a WIFI widget that will display the SSID, the RSSI (Signal) level.But I also want to be able to send it data from a service I am running that calculates the Quality of Sound over wifi.Here is what I have after some reading and a quick tutorial:public class WlanWidget extends AppWidgetProvider{
RemoteViews remoteViews;
AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager;
ComponentName thisWidget;
WifiManager wifiManager;
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
int[] appWidgetIds) {
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new WlanTimer(context, appWidgetManager), 1, 10000);
private class WlanTimer extends TimerTask{
remoteViews remoteViews;
AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager;
ComponentName thisWidget;
public WlanTimer(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager) {
this.appWidgetManager = appWidgetManager;
remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
thisWidget = new ComponentName(context, WlanWidget.class);
wifiManager = (WifiManager)context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
@Override
public void run() {
remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.widget_textview,
wifiManager.getConnectionInfo().getSSID());
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(thisWidget, remoteViews);
}The above seems to work ok, it updates the SSID on the widget every 10 seconds.However what is the most efficent way to get the information from my service that will be already running to update periodically on my widget?Also is there a better approach to updating the the widget rather than using a timer and timertask? (Avoid polling)UPDATE As per Karan's suggestion I have added the following code in my Service: RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
ComponentName thisWidget = new ComponentName( context, WlanWidget.class );
remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.widget_QCLevel, " " + qcPercentage);
AppWidgetManager.getInstance( context ).updateAppWidget( thisWidget, remoteViews );This gets run everytime the RSSI level changes but it still never updates the TextView on my widget, any ideas why?
It seems like every step I take in the Android world I run into problems. Im soon up to 20 questions here on StackOverflow hehe =)
Usually, I have my HTC Hero connected to the computer via USB and I launch the application either in debug mode or in normal mode.
So, the last time I ran the app in normal mode. Then I disconnect the device (I want to try to have it "free", not connected to computer) and I start the app from the menu. When I do that I get a popup saying "Application xxx is waiting for the debugger to attach" and there it stops and eventually dies.
Why is it waiting for the debugger, when the last time I ran the app (while connected) I didnt run it as Debug?
I am using samsumg galaxy. But whenever I try to download anything from the browser it says "waiting for data connection" for some time and then says download unsuccessfull.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOk, so like everyone else that expected to get their phones on Friday or Saturday though EVP I am still waiting for mine. Since I couldnt wait until tomorrow I went down to my local Sprint store yesterday, bought and EVO and still got the discount as they could "add a second line" to my account. Now, what happens when I get the phone in the mail? I can go down to the Sprint store and return it, no questions ask.
BTW this phone is really awesome, I am glad I had issues with my Incredible because the EVO blows it out of the water. The only complaint, the Sprint 3g network is about 1mb/s slower than ATT's. ATT in my area is really fast averaging around 2+mb/s down and 1mb/s up while Sprint is running around 1.2mb/s down and 512k up. Sprint TV and the other 3g dependent apps still run great though.
just would like flotv or mobitv, but no luck so far. all I can find is tv.com and it has nothing for the kids to watch on long trips. anyone heard anything yet?

View 9 Replies View Related- Trying the leaked 2.1
- I'm waiting for the official release.
I don't appear to have call waiting in operation. But, more than that - I seem to have an issue where, if I'm doing something on the internet (e.g. checking email), the call doesn't come through. Take, for example, a mild incident today:
Meeting my beloved mother, for once in her life she's remembered not only to have her phone, but to have it on (will miracles never cease!). I call to find out where she is. She's 5 mins away.
So - while waiting for her, I go into my gmail to respond to a mail. Mother arrives - 'I tried calling to say go queue for a coffee, so we didn't have to wait, but it went straight to voicemail'. I hadn't moved, reception was still good.
I want to find out how to see calling waiting notification when I call someone and they are on the mobile.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've had my Desire over a month now, we've had some teething problems but this is the most consistent one - there's no call waiting notification on my phone. I've missed about 3 calls and several texts while in another call, but my phone doesn't give me any indication that there is something else going on.
Some cursory googling found that other people have had their Desire make weird noises instead of a call waiting tone, but mine has nothing at all. Anyone have this happen to them or any ideas how to fix it? Although I'm fairly happy around technology I'm not too keen to root my phone, what with warranties and insurance and stuff.
I've noticed with my T-Mobile G2 that there is no call waiting alert with the default settings, so I'm never aware of someone trying to ring me from within another call - a function that's been standard on every other mobile I've used.
I'm sure it must be possible to set this up, but can't seem to find out how to do it. Very annoying, as I invariably get calls on top of one another and people are starting to tell me they're sick of being put through to my voicemail.
I have looked through all the settings that I could find and I have not been able to find the setting to disable call waiting. Does anyone know how to do that? Is it even possible? I personally prefer to have call waiting off. I do not want incoming calls bothering me if I'm already on the phone.
