Any app that kills sms texting not just when driving (there's more than one for that) but that disables it period or has a toggle that works to stop texting all the time. Especially receiving texts.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have Google Voice, which I recently discovered counts against my minutes when it sends me a transcript/recording of my voicemails (this is because VZ forwards calls to GV and charges for the time). I am leaving the country and the cost of calls overseas is $2/minute. I need to avoid charges for calls where people leave me voicemail messages, so I need to disable GV for the time I'm overseas. I can't figure out how to temporarily disable GV.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy main activity has some code that makes some database changes that should not be interrupted. I'm doing the heavy lifting in another thread, and using a progress dialog which I set as non-cancellable. However, I noticed that if I rotate my phone it restarts the activity which is REALLY bad for the process that was running, and I get a Force Close.
What I want to do is programatically disable screen orientation changes until my process completes, at which time orientation changes are enabled.
I'm getting the system update prompt every time I turn on my damn phone; I need to follow the guide that shows you how to keep root when going to 2.2:
Stock 2.1 to Fully Rooted Froyo 2.2
But I probably won't have time to do that until next weekend. In the meantime, is there a way to temporarily disable this update notice?

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust got my Evo and going through all the settings, I noticed the 4G setting constantly says "Turning On"... does that mean it's spending battery life trying to find a signal? If so, how do I disable the 4g antenna completely? (4G coverage is not available where I live). Everything is 'Grey' and pressing the icon in the widget, nor settings seems to have any effect.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a Sprint HTC Hero, updated to 1.56 and it still has horrendous battery life. I charged it to 100%, unplugged it, didn't touch it once and 4 hours later the battery was almost dead. After troubleshooting I think that the ZERO cellular reception I get in my home is the culprit. I believe that the phone is constantly searching for service and causing a battery drain. The HTC Sense widget only turns off the Cellular DATA, but not the actually radio. I would like to be able to leave WiFi on (i use Google Voice SMS at home) and disable the CDMA Radio alltogether.. is there a way?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI got an HTC Raider on the weekend, and while using the 3G/4G/LTE networks, it's amazing. Super fast and wonderful. Also, generally, while using wifi it's the same thing - fast and works perfectly.
However, when I'm at work, and I connect to the wifi network at my office, it will typically only work for 3 or 4 minutes, and then just stops working. It still displays maximum signal strength, but won't load any page on the internet, and any apps that send/receive data do not work. My work computer is also on the same wifi network and it always works no problem, so I know the wifi network is fine.
I have a ME172V tablet I'm trying to connect to my PC via wi-fi.
I got an PQI Air Pen Express WAP and when I first connected with my tablet all was fine. Since then I'm getting a "Temporarily avoiding poor connection" error. My Motorola Edge phone connects with no problem. I've reset the WAP and the tablet, the signal strength is excellent, and I've disconnected & reconnected.
From the number of posts I found when searching this is a common Android problem. One suggested solution is to uncheck the "Avoid Poor Connection" option in wi-fi settings. Unfortunately there appears to be no such option on the ME172V. Other proposed solutions involved flashing or other techniques I'm not familiar with.
Google Music. My only caveat is making a playlist available offline temporarily, and then deleting it once I'm done.
It makes sense for the subway, etc.
I'll load up a new album, and I normally listen to the album as a whole and then get rid of it to free up space (and to decide which songs make it to my main playlist).
I'm using a HTC One X, so 16gb is a bit limiting and I can't have it full of music.
I tried doing a search but couldn't find anything. Does anyone here know how to turn an email account off temporarily? I use my phone primarily for work so when I am at work I don't want to have to delete emails throughout the day. I only want to be able to turn if on when I am out of the office.
Anyone know how to do this?
Looks like they finally put up the banner on there website and signing in to your account is temporarily unavailable. ALSO, maybe this was there before but it states 4/16-4/19 Activation is FREE ONLY during that period.
View 35 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a way in an Android application to store a password within the memory as long as the application is running (cf. different activities). I was first thinking about the SharedPreferences, but then it's saved in the flash memory, which isn't that good for a password, I guess.
I'm unsure, what's the best way. What would you recommend me?

View 7 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to make an Activity temporarily not rotatable (like, turning it on/off in code, not in the manifest)?
One of my old apps crashes if you rotate while it's doing an HTTP lookup as the views are no longer attached when it returns. One of these days I'll fix it proper, but in the mean time it'd be useful if I could just make the thing not-rotatable while it's doing the lookup.
Is there an app that allows you to temporarily unlock your pattern then lock it back without going through settings? Because its gets real annoying to keep putting in my pattern when I'm home alone..
View 22 Replies View RelatedI am experiencing an annoying problem with an Android project in Eclipse. All my other Android projects are okey (at the moment). Whenever I perform a clean (Menu:Project->Clean...) the project gives an error and I can't compile/run the app. The error is: Project 'Project Name' is missing required source folder: 'gen'
As soon as I edit some code the problem disappears until I perform a clean again. I can also right-click on the gen-folder and delete it. Eclipse will recreate the gen-folder and the problem disappears until I perform a clean. This is not a showstopper but it is really annoying since I sometimes have to do a clean before I run the app.
Everytime i use google maps with just the GPS enabled i get this message, if i allow wireless networks then i get a location but it's far from accurate.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently have code that creates rows in a table that hold a string in column 1 with a RadioButton in column 2. There can be a variable number of these rows. That all works just great, but I want to add them to a RadioGroup so only one button can be toggled at a time. When I tried to add the dynamic RadioButton to the RadioGroup AFTER I added it to the table row, I got an error saying that the child (the RadioButton) already had a parent. I agree, it does have one, the TableRow.
can you have radio buttons tied to a radio group inside of a row or, should I just code my own toggle mechanism and avoid RadioGroup all together? I mean, I could code the onClick to unclick all other radio buttons, but I would rather not do this if I can use the build in RadioGroup.
<ScrollView
android:id="@+id/ScrollViewModifyGroups"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent".............
I have multiple radio buttons which I want to layout using a table but also include them in a single radio group. I have the following xml layout:
<RadioGroup android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="@+id/Group1">
<TableLayout android:id="@+id/RadioButtons"
android:layout_width="wrap_content".........
But unfortunately the radio buttons inside the table seem to ignore the fact that they're inside of the RadioGroup tags and because of this you can select more than one radio button at the time. I noticed that by removing the table and just having the radio buttons it works just fine. How can I overcome this? Would it be as simple as declaring the radio group inside of the table instead of outside?
I turned on my Droid this morning to listen to MSNBC and I heard the last 5 minutes of Keith Obermann (5:55 am est) and then all of my news and talk channels disappeared! Channels like CNN, C-SPAN, MSNBC and NPR are all gone from my favorites and the channel line-up. There is nothing in the "News and Public Radio" category.
Has anyone else noticed this? I'm thinking this must be a temporary glitch but I would hate to lose all of these channels. If you have the Sirius/ XM radio app, would you please check this on your Droid?

Depends on the size and gauge of the wire of your headphones. Also depends on the position of the wires. FM radio is a little picky, but works fine- depending on the points mentioned. Old & wrong: The FM radio on the Inc must be the weakest radio in a phone, evah! Just tried it today and picks up half the channels my Ngage and N900 pick up well. A lot of channels barely come in, or are static filled. I thought Steely Dan said "FM has no static at all"? Makes the CDMA radio seem not that bad, in comparison I know- at LEAST it has a radio.

View 32 Replies View RelatedI just got my Droid but I frequently use Pandora and Last.FM on my computer at work. Last.FM - Seems like the service has a better list of artists than Pandora so i switched to it on my PC recently. On Android the service is the same but as an app it tends to be open in the background all the time and suffers from not being able to pause (like the PC version). The scrobbling could be nice for some users and it links to the android player. Sound Quality seems excellent, best of the three so far. Pandora - Haven't gotten to use it too much because it takes so long to load my station. Sound Quality seemed fine with my limited use.
Slacker Radio - Has the most music options of the three and seems likes the best application. It has plenty of options like keeping the screen from freezing while plugged in and on wifi without having to change your phone settings. Had to stop listening from poor sound quality though! Sound Quality started ok but a bassy boom and click started appearing after a few songs, forced to switch to Last.FM.
