General :: How To Destroy A Samsung Stratosphere
Mar 7, 2012
I have a chance to "test" the durability of a brand new Samsung stratosphere. I'm going to record it and post it on YouTube for all to see.
what should I do to see what it can withstand? I have access to vehicles, guns, some heavy equipment and a machinist shop.
This phone feels pretty fragile so I'm sure I'll only be able to test it one way... eager to see everyone's responses. I'll pick one and post video by the weekend

Why can't I send pictures with my Samsung Stratosphere? It always tells me "service is unavailable - will send when service becomes available" But it never sends them!

recently I've been learning more and more about building AOSP builds since I'm not a huge fan of the bloated touchwiz rom's for the Stratosphere. I'm looking more for AOSP roms, like I had when I had the Evo.
1. I have all I need to build Android from source, I have the Android source, and I have sources from Samsung for the Stratosphere. This includes the kernel sources, and platform sources, how do I merge these two together?
2. Do I have to build a kernel when I build the rom, or do I build the kernel seperately?

I used this tutorial to root my phone: [URL] .......
Before rooting, I had a working / reliable wifi connection. Now, it's gone.
Could rooting the phone have caused this problem? I followed the instructions to the letter (and am rooted successfully).
Whenever I turn on wifi, it fails to locate ANY networks ("unable to scan networks") and turns itself off.
I've tried using the fix described here: [URL] .......
Soft reset, factory reset, root, deletion of specific settings files so that they repopulate ... NOTHING works.

I was wondering if there is a way to get instant gmail notifications on my samsung stratosphere? If I want to check my email on this phone, I have to go into the account I want and keep hitting refresh until the emails appear. On my old Incredible, I would see the notification for the email right away.

My Samsung Stratosphere turned itself off sometime and now is rebooting to the Samsung logo, and then turning back off, and rebooting (a couple times earlier it booted to the main android menu, but turned back off immediately afterwards) and when I plugged it into the charger it acts like it's charging and then turns off and acts like it's charging and over and over again, even when the battery indicates that it's at more than half full.
(No custom ROMs or anything, it's all standard btw). I took the battery out and everything and it still does the same thing when I put it back. I tried to do a factory reset, but the recovery mode screen always jumps away when I try to activate it (I press both Vol+ and Vol-, recovery mode screen comes up but goes instantly, then the phone goes into a boot loop again).

I've got a Samsung Stratosphere (I know booo) My phone rebooted and now it has the hardware info on the left hand side of the screen. I've posted a picture. It wont go on the mobile network at call (cant make calls).
I did a factory restore, unrooted and put the stock rom on, nothing works.

Like me, many of you are switching to the Incredible from another, older, less awesome phone. Some of you may even be moving to the Inc because you've had it with your current phone. But before you consider taking out your frustrations on your old phone by answering the age-old question, "Will it blend?", consider donating your phone. There are many organizations that will put your old phone to good use. Here in Raleigh, NC, an organization called Interact helps victims of domestic violence and will accept donations of used cell phones. You can also donate your phone to be used by troops overseas. So before you think of just throwing away a piece of technology, consider how it may benefit someone else.

I have developed an application which is working fine.
In that i have used some static variables and also set Application level variables.
My problem is that even after setting finish() on each activity, application is showing in Running mode.
After closing the application, when i start the application after sometime, it will set the last changes.
How can i destroy my application?

I have an activity defined as below:
CODE:............
A strange thing is that, when running on emulator, and the back key is pressed, the activity was destroyed (I saw onDestroy() called in log). But when running on my Nexus One phone, and the back key is pressed, the activity is not destroyed (I didn't see onDestroy() called in log).

what puzzle me so much is that i can't destroy a GLSurfaceView while i don't want to exit the activity.
the fact is when i destroy a GLSurfaceView which had show in the screen (that means it has binded to the activity's SurfaceHolder), the activity exits without any prompting. Perhaps ,the Context which provided in the Construction of GLSurfaceView joins the two things together. so my conclusion is that a GLSurfaceView can only be destroyed when exit the activity. is there anyway to destroy a GLSurfaceView without exit activity? is there someone can provide a clue?

I have an Activity with an inner Handler. The problem is that after the activity is destroyed, the Handler is receiving messages for the destroyed activity. This breaks things because the activity is in an inconsistent state. I'm thinking this might be a bug in Android - it should probably delete all the messages in the queue when the activity is destroyed. There doesn't appear to be any way I can manually delete all messages in the queue (except by calling removeMessage(int what) with every possible variation of what, which seems a bit ridiculous). The only other solution I can think of is to create my own is_destroyed instance variable and check it in handleMessage(), but again that seems like a ridiculous hack. Has anyone come across this problem before?

I have a activity MyActivity, which "kills" yourself using the finish () method. The problem is: after the kill operation, method onDestroy is called, but the object of type MyActivity is never garbage-collected (I forced the GC run). It is causing a memory leak, because MyActivity is launched many times, by other activities. Does anyone know when the Activity object is supposed to be garbage- collected, and what can be done to avoid the issue I mentioned?

I have one doubt about back button. If one activity is running on foreground and if I press back button then it will destroy the activity. Now my question is is destroy and kill a process is different? cause if I open DDMS I can see same process is running..Only if I stop that process in DDMS then only it disappear. Is that process will take any memory space after pressing back button..

"It's not limited to Android devices, but it seems that increasingly Android more than other platforms is shipping with the worst mobile bloatware. It's a bad trend that's going to lead to consumer backlash and it's destroying the credibility of Google's Android vision."

I am unable to completely destroy my app. My app is thread based app. Once i exit the app by calling on Destroy method, it is exiting properly. If i try to relaunch the application is says "The application stooped unexpectedly, try again". If i again select my app it is launching. It means in a alternative attempt its launching. as i am guessing, its not making Null for few static objects. once it shows the exception has explained above it is making all the objects null, so that i am able to relaunch. Pls can some one suggest how to overcome this issue. How to completely destroy the application?

I would like to know as to what will happen to the thread which has been created by an activity and the device is rotated. I have observed that the onDestroy method is called when this happens. Will the thread be killed too?If the thread is not killed, how can I reassociate the thread with the activity as a new instance of the activity is created on rotation.

Anyone using this? Sure it has a price, but this thing isnt using ANY battery life on my phone... I thought these apps running in the background (chat apps) were supposed to destroy battery? I leave this thing on nearly 8 hours a day, and hardly see any battery drain. The UI could use a few tweaks and themes, but for reliability its awesome!

I want my Activity to be always in portrait mode and I do NOT want the onDestroy() method to be called. There are some interesting articles about that at: http://www.androidguys.com/2008/11/24/rotational-forces-part-four/
The solution seems to be: In AndroidManifest.xml:
CODE:...............
I've tried it and it seems to work. Is there any other alternative or is it the correct solution?

I am working on an app that beeps every second. When I hit the home button I want it to close the program and stop beeping. Right now it closes the program but continues to beep.
What am I doing wrong?
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HOME)) {
isdone = true;
mp.release();
counter.cancel();
finish();
}

I have created a threaded service the following way. code...
After I close the application the phone works really slow and I guess it is due to thread termination failure.
Does anyone know what is the best way to terminate all threads before terminating the application?

I've noticed that changing the background color of an android widget (f.ex. Button or TextView) by program:
myButton.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
makes it to loose its 3D shape, border, and shadows effects, and then appears like a ugly flat square. What am I missing?
Sorry for the very naive question but I couldn't get it right although tried for a time.
