I'm using Wi-Fi hotspot to connect my ps3 to mobile network but gameplay is slightly laggy. I've been told this is because of slow/inconsistent upload speeds. So is there an app/mod to make upload speed of my network faster or more consistent?

This is my first smartphone and my first experience with any sort of high-speed mobile internet, so talk to me like an idiot. But my 3g speeds seem to be incredibly slow and I'm hoping there's something I can do about it. I might've just chalked it up to poor coverage in this area, but I get consistent 4 bars and I've ran SpeedTest.net and XtremeLabs Speedtest and, oddly, I'm getting very high numbers for upload speeds which seems to suggest the network is fine in this vicinity and something else is going on. WiFi speeds are perfect, very quick.
Here are the results of my most recent tests.
SpeedTest.net
Download: 100 kbps
Upload: 855 kbps
XtremeLabs
Max Download: 100.2 kbps
Upload: 223.6 kbps (Don't know about the large discrepancy here)
So is there any course of action I can take to improve the situation? I've not tested speeds at any other locations yet (just got the phone Wednesday) but the high upload speed seems to tell me that it's not just a matter of my house being a 3g dead zone. And of course, this is my first experience so maybe I'm completely wrong with all my assumptions.
I have a problem while using the scroller in my application. I have used the scroller but it is not working properly as it is not able to maintain a consistent speed while automatically scrolling. The speed of the text is getting slower with time as the text moves upward.

Especially if it is uploading video recordings off my phone. Is there a way to place a speed limit to the data upload rate? Kind of like a bandwidth limiter for Android?

My wifi is old and dodgy and whenever it gets overloaded it crashes, is there any way on android to limit the upload/download speed?

I just ran a speed test on my 4g in york pennsylvania with one bar and i had 342kb/s. i did not realize how fast it really was. even thought the upload speed for some reason drops to like 50 some. my 3g speeds average is around 150 with a similar upload speed. WOW am i too excited or is this incredible for a phone? also my friend at work just texted me and claims his GayPhone4 is faster than mine we shall find out when i get there.

I'm curious if this is just a Sprint issue. Evo on Sprint is much faster ,so its not a network issue.
I have a game out on Android, and it runs in a single thread. Performs the work in run() and the draws in onDraw().Pretty simple.However, on a Droid it runs much faster than on a G1.What is a best practice for ensuring that the game runs at the same speed regardless of the device?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am creating an app that show some histograms off your traveling speed in different time periods (histogram for the last minute, histogram for the last 2 minutes etc.) I would like to have an animation, and have discovered that drawing everything takes around 300-400ms. Which is to long for making my animation smooth, the animation itself is quite simple (2 lines and 2 dots). What I draw every frame right now is 20 antialised strings, size 14, in average ~5chars 8 of these strings will change every second. 1 of the string will change with the animation (this will become 5 strings if there is time).
The main part of the screen, the one showing the histogram data, consist of a lots of squares which needs to be updated every second. (450 squares). The presentation is split into 5 frames in the same view (has to be same view as arrows in one frame might point into another frame). Invalidating only a part off the screen makes almost no difference (it does becomes a bit faster, but i still execute all my drawing stuff). I have tried to add a flag whether or not the main part is dirty, but if I don't draw it, it is cleared. I might be missing something here. One possibility could be to render all the mostly static stuff to a bitmap, and then simply draw the bitmap. That would mean 10 strings only had to rendered on orientation change.
I think it would make sense since the slowest routine is the one drawing all the text. (the following is a typical timing for the drawing routines, accumulated).
V/HMMULTIBAR( 352): 0 - Drawing time: 0 ms V/HMMULTIBAR( 352): 1 - Drawing time: 53 ms V/HMMULTIBAR( 352): 2 - Drawing time: 62 ms V/HMMULTIBAR( 352): 3 - Drawing time: 85 ms V/HMMULTIBAR( 352): 4 - Drawing time: 280 ms V/HMMULTIBAR( 352): 5 - Drawing time: 303 ms
I would really appreciate comments about whether or not offscreen rendering is the way to go, or if there is a simpler way.
Can you make speed dials on this phone?
View 42 Replies View RelatedMy wife's stock 1.5 Eris got the 2.1 update the other day. Since then she cannot setup her speed dials. It goes through like it works, but there are still no speed dials in the list. I cleared cache and data from Dialer and the two People apps in the manager, but it hasn't resolved it. VZW support last night had me do a battery pull, but that also didn't help.
So other than the Factory Reset option, is there anything I can do? Are there any apps specific to Speed Dials? I'd like to avoid the reset at all costs, if possible.
I am trying to make an application which will upload pictures to a website. I need to let the user browse through the pictures they want to upload and select them. However, when I try to use the MediaStore I always get an empty cursor.
I created an SD CARD image and used that with the emulator. I know one image exists in /sdcard/media. I copied it using an image manipulation tool (winimage). And, I can see the image when I use the command "ls / sdcard/media" in the terminal application of the phone.
The code I am using is this : Code...
Am I missing something here?
please someone know wich APIs it's are responsable to transfer data on ftp ,download or upload. I want use this APIs to create application.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a weird situation with AlarmManager. I am scheduling an event with AlarmManager and passing in a string using intent.putExtra. The string is either silent or vibrate and when the receiver fires the phone should either turn of the ringer or set the phone to vibrate.
The log statement correctly outputs the expected value each time.
CODE:..........
The receiver that fires when the alarm executes also has a log statement and I can see the first time around that the statement outputs the expected string either SILENT or VIBRATE but for each subsequent execution the output shows the original value on the receiver end. The alarm executes and then I change the value for putExtra to opposite string and the receiver still displays the previous value event though the call from the code above shows that the new value was passed in. The value for setAction is the same each time.

I want all my contacts consistent - last name, first name. But When the phone consolidated everyone from Outlook, Facebook, and Google (about 800 people, everything is all screwed up and inconsistent. Is there a way to fix that without having to manually open and edit each contact not in the correct order?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to know if its possible to prevent my application from looking different every time I run it on a different android phone. For example, on stock 2.2, my seek bar (with default values and theme) has an orange color for the selected portion, whereas on a Samsung Galaxy S (with 2.1), it is green. Also the tab background is grey in stock 2.2, but blue in Galaxy S. On a similar note, my rating bar changes size too. I do not implement multiple screen resolutions and all my drawables are located in the "drawables" folder under "res". I donot specify a minimum sdk requirement.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm using the UI test monkey tool provided with android. This is a consistent error I see and wonder how I can avoid it.
Somehow the test app will rotate the orientation of my app such that the emulator window is still in portrait orientation, but the screen surface is in a landscape orientation. When in this configuration, any time you click on an EditText, a system exception gets thrown:
"The application OpenWnn (process jp.co.omronsoft.openwnn) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
So this OpenWnn process is not mine, it looks like it handles display of the virtual keyboard. When in this odd orientation mode, and you try to click in an EditText, I can see the virtual keyboard try to slide in from the left side of the screen, then that exception gets thrown.
I'm not sure what orientation this is, because it's not the normal landscape orientation you get by hitting ctrl + F11. In fact, the virtual keyboard shouldn't even be trying to display itself in landscape mode? Much less from the left side of the emulator?
I have an app with two activities, one of which the launchmode is set to "singleTask". From the Android dev guide, I got the impression that my SingleTaskActivity should start a new task (or reuse an old task) and always sit at the root of the stack when launched.
However, it's inconsistent with the behavior of the app if I follow the steps below: - launch StandardActivity from home - click the "home" key - launch SingleTaskActivity from home, you will see it's in the foreground as expected - click the "Back" key, StandardActivity comes to the foreground whereas I expect to see the home screen because SingleTaskActivity is supposed to be at the ROOT of the stack. It appears SingleTaskActivity was launched into the task that StandardActivity started, rather than starting its own task.
Is my understanding about the "singleTask" launch mode correct?
=== The Android Dev guide (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ manifest/activity-element.html#lmode) says:
In contrast, "singleTask" and "singleInstance" activities can only begin a task. They are always at the root of the activity stack. Moreover, the device can hold only one instance of the activity at a time — only one such task.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have some messages being passed back from my server through php. The problem is that the messages are in English and if the user is using another language they will still get the message in English.
So I had an idea that maybe instead of passing back the message I would instead pass the String resource Id from the android app, that way the app will get the correct string id for their language. I will use this in a number of apps so I just want to know if the string id is guaranteed to be the same across different android projects?
I've seen an issue now on both Chevy's and Pete's ESE53 ROMs.
I play a video using the youtube player, and the video locks up, touchscreen and phone buttons non-responsive, and then the phone reboots.
I did a full wipe/reset and installed all apps from the market when I installed Pete's ROM, so it's not due to a messy setup...
Doesn't happen every time, but very frequently. Last night I played some or all of three videos, no issue. This morning tried one and my phone locked up/rebooted within the first five seconds of the video.

I've used SO many messaging apps like GO, Chomp, Handcent, Pansi, etc. and I just decide to go back to the stock app every time I switch apps after a day or two. The reason why I switch is because of one thing, the threads take too long to load on the stock app. I want to start texting. I have to wait literally 10 seconds just to open up a 1000 count thread. I don't like to delete my messages.
