General :: Nexus S - Alert When Connectivity Changes?
Jan 15, 2012
I recently did a factory reset and flashed stock Android 2.3.6 back onto my Nexus S. Ever since I did that I have been getting an alert show up on my screen whenever my data connection is lost or restored. This is really annoying since I'm using JuiceDefender and my data is turned off everytime I put my phone display to sleep and it is restored once I unlock my phone.
The message pops up in the middle of the screen in a grey box that says "The connection to the Internet has been restored."
I never had this on stock Android before or on Cyanogenmod 7, any way to turn off the alerts? Is this a new built in feature to 2.3.6?

how to disable the low battery alert audio? I have disabled the popup, but I would like to also disable the audio. I tried deleting the lowbattery.ogg file in the root media file, but then it just played a different audio file for the low battery. I am on a rooted Nexus 5 running 4.4.2

Since the recent update I have been unable to pick up a 3G signal.
The Nexus used to show a 3G symbol but now all I get is either a G or E.
I am now in the middle of Manchester when I used to pick up a 3G signal and all I can pick up is Edge.
Has anyone else experienced this or know how this can be solved?
What does G mean if its not 3G, could it be 2G? Whatever that is...

This is my first android phone coming from years of blackberries. I've noticed that when messages arrive and I don't clear/check them on my phone, all subsequent messages that come after are not alerting using notification sounds. Is there a way for notification sounds to play regardless?

I have been searching for a way to get my trackball to flash when a calendar reminder goes off. It flashes on calls, text, email e.t.c. but not calendar?? I keep missing reminders because I'm away from my phone when the audible goes off and then I don't know it's happened....unless... I could have the trackball flashing too.
Does anyone know how to make the trackball flash when a calendar alert goes off?

i rooted my android phone (xperia arc- lt15i, on firmware 2.3.4) and installed titanium backup, with the intention of clearing away bloatware that came bundled with the phone. I did a backup of my whole phone with the app before proceeding.
but being the idiot that i am, i accidentally deleted something called "voicemail ..." (can't remember what comes after that). now it is gone from titanium backup completely.
the thing is after i did that i immediately lost my phone connectivity (can't make calls out/3G etc) and whenever i go to settings>wireless&network settings> mobile networks, the phone crashes, with the option of 'force close'.
but wifi and the other functions of the phone still work. i tried restoring via titanium but it still doesn't work because the file was deleted.desperate for a solution, i tried a hard reset but the problem still remained, and strangely after the reset i lost control of my middle, hard home button.

So my work doesn't allow phones to connect to our mail server. So all of the apps for email will not work, they are simply denied connection.
However, I have outlook on my home PC and it connects to my works email server VIA RPC settings. I have no special VPN... nothing. RPC just works and works great. So if RPC in outlook can connect, why not a phone app? And even more is there a phone app that can connect VIA RPC? I have looked, but I may have missed the setting in an app or an app all together

I was wondering how I can create a variable for whether or not my phone has data connectivity. I use google voice for texting (I have a sprint integrated google voice number), but when I go out I turn off my wifi/3g to save battery, and text with my stock SMS app. When I swipe upwards on my launcher (Nova launcher), my texting app launches (google voice). However, I would like that gesture to launch a Tasker task - one that launches Google Voice if my phone has data connectivity, or the stock SMS app if my phone does not have data connectivity. However, Tasker does not have a built in variable for data.
More specifically, I would like this task to do the following (in pseudocode)
if (%data == ON)
Launch Google Voice
else
Launch stock SMS app

Galaxy Note II.
Ever since i updated the software, two weeks ago, my phone keeps telling me that I have a new email (outlook) even though I don't! The phone vibrates as if I actually get a new email, but then it turns out that one of the already read emails suddenly is unread and "new". This happens every 10 minutes, so it's super frustrating. I am not using any specific app, just the one email-app that came with the phone.

Of course we all know we need to add a primary email into the Android to set it up.
But I noticed when I get a email it gets set to my Gmail app (preinstalled can't remove it) AND my email app so I get 2 notification for 1 email. Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

How come the i/phone has Google maps that show traffic (red/orange/green) But on the Droid 4, the standard google maps app does not have this traffic (sigalert) capability? Is it restricted to iphones only? I believe it is the same Google Maps app.

I am new to this community and to the lg spirit 4g phone. My calendar, email and text all have the same ringtone. I miss a lot of things because I can't hear the alert go off no matter what tone I use from the phone's memory.
Do you know how I change alert tones?.

For crying out loud all I want to do is change the alert for facebook. As it is now all it does is vibrate, I want it to make a noise, is that too much to ask? Switched from iphone to Droid Ultra. Way too much to go through just to change an alert.

I was wondering what file format the Alert/Notification sounds that come on Android phones, are in. Everytime I tried to google it I would just get a list of all the sound/music formats supported by android, but never just the format that the stock sounds are in. Is it different for different brand of phones. I didn't think it was, i figured all android phones used the same file formats, but you never know, so I figured I would ask. But either way, what file format the notification/alert sounds are in.
Just in case it is different for some phone makers, I am currently rocking the LG Revolution.

I'm on JellyBlast 3 (Gingerbread, I guess) with my Galaxy Y and I'm a little unhappy with the theme that comes with JellyBlast. I have fixed some issues but I cannot figure out how to avoid black text on dark background in Alert Dialogs. This issue makes some dialogs of the hololauncher and some other apps completely ureadable if you do not turn the screen to full brightness (what I normally don't do).
What I've found out so far: In the Gingerbread source the Theme for the the Alert Dialog is hard coded:
Code:
protected AlertDialog(Context context) {
this(context, com.android.internal.R.style.Theme_Dialog_Alert);
}
I'm not yet allowed to post external links... I found the above on github in the gingerbread branch in platform_frameworks_base -> core -> java -> android -> app -> AlertDialog.java
The hololauncher uses the AlertDialog.Builder class to create the Dialogs and it uses a TextView Widget to display the text. The layout looks like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceLargeInverse" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:paddingLeft="15.0dip" android:paddingRight="15.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:minHeight="?android:listPreferredItemHeight" android:drawablePadding="14.0dip" />
Here you see, that the textAppearanceLargeInverse definition of the theme is used as text color. And the theme should always be "Theme.Dialog.Alert" since this is hardcoded.
I assume that com.android.internal.R.style.Theme_Dialog_Alert refers to the Theme.Dialog.Alert styledefinition in the ROMs framework-res.apk. So I added the following line to the styles.xml in framework-res.apk -> values/styles.xml inside Theme.Dialog.Alert:
Code:
<item name="textAppearanceLargeInverse">@style/TextAppearance.Large</item>
I hoped that this would overwrite the definition of textAppearanceLargeInverse for the AlertDialog so that I will not use the inherited definition of the dark theme. The color that's referenced by @style/TextAppearance.Large is (contrary to ...Large.Inverse) is #FFFFFFFF or at least close to it.
Unfortunately this does not work and I do not understand why. I got that far to figure all this stuff out and my phone seems little impressed by my effort. It still displays dark text on dark background.

My application has some code which detects if the Android device is connected to a Wi-Fi or Mobile network.
The code appeared to be working fine for Andoid 1.5, but does not seem to work correctly for Andorid 1.6.
Here is the code I am using:
CODE:..........................
Under Android 1.5 this code would correctly detect if the current connectivity was Wi-Fi or Mobile. However under Android 1.6 the call to getActiveNetworkInfo seems to always return a networkInfo instance with the type set to TYPE_MOBILE. This is happening even though the icons in the bar at the top of the android screen show the Wi-Fi connected icon with the full signal strength bars showing.
I don't know if this means that under Android 1.6 it is actually using the phone data network for connectivity instead of the Wi-Fi connectivity when both networks are available, or if the getActiveNetworkInfo call is just returning the wrong information for Android 1.6.
Has anyone else seen this issue with Andoid 1.6? It would be too bad if 1.6 is really using the bandwidth on the phone data network instead of the Wi-Fi network when both networks are present. Does anyone know if there is a different way to correctly detect if the Android device has Wi-Fi connectivity?

I am with first Droid phone. I have had an HTC Desire for approximately 1 week and absolutely love it. When I first got the phone, the connectivity was always H in the status bar, with very good I-net speed. For some reason, unbeknown to me, it is now a G, sometimes a 3G. The speed is still quite good though. This 'change' would appear to have been since I received a text from T-Mobile (I'm aware of the 'G' issues on their forums) alongwith the lines. They hoped I liked their new webpage. Now they have reverted to the original webpage I may have to re-load my favorites. I have not had to do this, thankfully. Under Wireless & Networks, WiFi is off, as I am on an 'unlimited' 3GB plan, and I am using GSM/WCDMA auto under Preferred network mode.
Questions: -
1. What is the difference between the three, namely H, 3G and G?
2. Which is quicker?
2. Can I change it back to H, if I wanted, as I believe it was quicker?
4. Sometimes, although not very often, the G, 3G and H disappear altogether and I am left with no connectivity at all. However, if I try to access the I-net, I can, and either the G, 3G or H appear again miraculously. Is there a particular reason for this?
Hope to hear from you experts soon and apologies for such basic questions, as I'm still getting used to using a droid. My last phone was a Nokia N95 2GB. Huge difference!

ConnectivityManager cm = (ConnectivityManager) this.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE );
return cm.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnectedOrConnecting( );

We are developing an Android application that uses bluetooth to connect to a board that we developed. If we try to connect to the board after the system has been off for a while, the system connects correctly and begins to stream data. The data stream will freeze momentarily, then start, then freeze, then shut off after about 6 - 8 seconds. If we try again it will repeat this process. It is almost like the Android is checking to see if it is an ok device to connect with, and decides no for some reason.
The only way we have been able to then connect again is to un-pair and then re-pair the tablet to the board. After we unpair and re-pair, the connection works well and will continue to work well until we turn the tablet off.

I have recently created a new gmail account, and transferred all contacts etc. Since my Hero cannot read more than one account, I deleted my first account - planning to reconnect my Hero to the new account - thus enabling all the new data to connect.
However, my phone will not connect to the google server - thus I cannot get my contacts or calendar, and cannot get to the market. The message I get says: 'cannot establish a reliable data connection to the server'.

So I dropped AT&T for the Incredible and my number successfully ported over, but I cannot connect to the Internet.I can make/receive calls and SMS, but no Internet besides wifi.I've been on with vzw support and went through reactivating the phone (*228) and a couple hard reset to no avail.They said it could have something to do with porting from AT&T, but I'm not understanding that connection.I don't have too much faith in support figuring out so I'm trying this forum. Does anyone have a clue how to resolve this or is it a defect with the phone.Some details: there is no 3G symbol near the signal status bars.Settings/Wireless & networks: shows "Mobile Network" with a green check, buts its grayed out so no action can be taken on it.Directly underneath "Mobile Network" it says "Turning on..." and it seems to flash that status every once in a while.

I am currently in China and therefor run a VPN on my PC to connect to the outside world, I would also like to run the same VPN (PPTP) on my android. I can connect via VPN if I am using WiFi but when I try to connect over GPRS/Edge I can't get any connectivity. All web pages load with the standard "web page not available" and apps, eg. the market place, won't connect either. I would have thought that if it was a carrier issue (CMCC) I wouldn't be able to connect to the VPN in the first place. So is this a Android issue, a setup issue or a carrier issue? And can you actuality run a VPN over GPRS om Android?
