I'd like to choose to be called by my boss during the working hours and couple of more people, but not by everybody. Are there any apps that i could program to do so automatically for certain hours/days?

Right now if I am using my phone for browsing, video, etc. it will run the battery from full charge to dead in just under 4 hours. If I just leave the phone turned on but with no apps running (standby) it runs out of power in roughly 48 hours. Is this the battery life I should expect from this phone?

This way if my PC try to go to another site (say "windows update" site) the phone will not forward its http request, thus limiting data consumption.
Is there an app on the market that does it ?
I am looking for a firewall that allows setting rules for individual apps, for example allow an application to connect to [URL] and nothing else. The firewalls I've tested so far (like avast! Mobile Security) only allow the selected application to connect or not, but not filtering by url, domain, ip or such.
The only firewall I've heard of is WhisperMonitor, and is not public yet. Furthermore, it is supposed to require device encryption.
I've found that the battery drains so fast, so with doing some research I ended up going to settings > battery, and found that although my bluetooth is turned off, it's still the first on the list of battery consumption at 37%... I'm assuming that the battery is draining so fast because of the blue tooth, but at the same time I've checked and it is turned off. What am I missing here?? (Battery went from 100% to 13% in about 6 hours and all I did was send and receive a couple of texts!!!)

View 10 Replies View RelatedI had this problem on ICS and now on JellyBean ROMs on my Samsung Galaxy S.I have added two exchange accounts to my device, to sync calendar and contacts primarily.When set up it all works correctly, but after a day or so (length of time varies), the calendar and contact sync stop working. Email continues to work but the other two just stop. I do not get any erorrs, and removing the account and re-adding them fixes it for a short period until the same thing happens.

Anything else i need to do?
I have CM10.1 (I'm using the nightlies) and I'm using the stock email app which I love. However it's missing one feature that I'm hoping another app (whether that's a replacement email app or something that works with the stock email app) might have.
I'd like to "pause" direct-push email functionality during a certain time frame. Essentially I'm tired of seeing emails during my off-hours and I'd like to stop it from syncing automatically during those hours. Just suppress the notification during those hours (it can sync all it wants as long as I don't see it).
Is this a possibility with the stock app?
For example, I want to parse the string below:
Tue Sep 28 18:02:24 GMT+08:00 2010
And I use the pattern for the SimpleDateFormat:
new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzzzzzzz yyyy");
But I keep getting the ParseException.
I have had my sprint HTC Hero for some months now and love all the neat apps I can load. BUT... the actual telephone app seems dysfunctional. I imagine the telephone function is built in and probably cannot be fixed by the average developer and maybe this is also a function of the carrier (sprint in this case).
PROBLEM:
When I have multiple calls my Hero interface provides no easy mechanism to hang up on one caller only. It has just one "End call" virtual button and pressing this drops the entire call interface.
So for example if I accept a call waiting then the prior caller is placed on hold while I talk to the interrupting caller. When I am done talking to the interrupting caller I have only the option to "End call". Pressing this will drop the entire call interface. What happens next depends ...
IF I have hung up on the interrupting caller before they hang up on me then I will still have someone on hold (but nothing shows this). Some seconds later (like 5) the system realizes I still have someone on hold and rings as if a new call. Clunky but at least it works.
IF the interrupting caller manages to hang up before my "End call" registers then the phone ends the only remaining active call which is of course the person on hold. No indication of this either except I wait 5 seconds and realize my phone is not ringing. The lag time on the HTC hero is so large that this happens just about half the time.
IF I don't hang up at all but instead just wait for the interrupting caller to hang up then the phone will put up a new screen that shows that the person who just hung up is still active, the person on hold is on hold, but in fact I will be connected to the person listed as "on hold". So the interface is wrong but at least I have not hung up on the holding caller. In this case it is very unclear if my call waiting slot is free or not. I have had people unable to call when I thought the phone was connected to just one person. Effectively the call waiting slot seems already occupied when in fact it is not. Don't know if this consumes double minutes or not.
To me this seems like an event driven system without a properly deterministic event handler. Or perhaps there is really no way for the phone's understanding of call waiting to by synchronized with the carrier's.
Almost done ranting...
Lastly, while making a call the screen seems to stay active for its full timeout period so that my cheek can sometimes press a virtual button and end the call. I would love it if I could press a button to de-activate the screen sooner but unfortunately that button also terminates the call. Wasn't there supposed to be some mechanism that detects that the phone is cheek bound and deactivates the screen? Could use a manual way do force this.
Most of the callers complain that my number is switched off but I never power off my handset. I tried with another number and observed the same while my HTC Desire was in front of me and powered on. At times it does connect but most of the time not. I have full bars. I was using HTC Touch Pro2 earlier at the same location for at least 10 months now. Had no issues with network. Got my HTC desire 3 days ago and have this problem ever since.

View 14 Replies View RelatedIf you use Outlook (like me) to control your address book, and you have pictures on some of the names in your address book, and you used the HTC Sync to import those names to the Evo 4G into the contacts on the phone, you have noticed that when you make or receive calls to the people with the pictures on their names that the photo is blurry and looks horrible.
I asked around on here and looked at other places but did not really receive a clear answer. So playing with the phone for a few minutes I figured out what I have to do to get clear pictures on the contacts profiles on the phone.
1. Connect the phone to the computer and put the phone in Disk Drive mode.
2. Explore the phones drive and goto the DCIM folder. Inside there I went into 100MEDIA.
3. You take a picture from your computer or whatever source and transfer it into that folder on the cell phone
4. After you move the picture to the phone, disconnect the phone from the computer or change the phones setting to Charge Only
5. On the cell phone, press Phone. From the Phone screen press Menu - People and choose a person
6. On the persons profile via your phone, scroll down to Edit Contact and press that
7. On the top left corner press the camera icon and choose Gallery on the popup
8. Choose the folder where the picture is, should be in Camera Shots
9. Choose the picture. After you do this you will be shown a "cropping" zone.
10. Crop the image by moving the outlined box around the part of the image you want to show up when you make or receive calls of that person. Press Save
11. Back on the personal profile on the phone just scroll down and press save, and your done.
This method is for transferring pictures of your computer to your phone. To use pictures you've taken on the phone just change the walk through around a little.
Enjoy.
EDIT TO #10 - Cropping Image:
I just saw that when cropping, you can press your finger on the green line and you will get arrows that show up. you can then slide your finger and make the box bigger or smaller. Just a quick update of this tutorial.
So I have had Google Voice for the past month or so. I have had several people call me and I let it go to Voicemail and then they later tell me that the voicemail wouldn't work for them. They say they don't get my message and instead get some form of automated message that cuts out about halfway through and then ends the call.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been using my google I/O Evo for a few days now, and i've noticed that i'm having quite a bit of trouble hearing people talk during a call. My hearing is pretty average(I think?) and I'm holding the earpiece directly toward my ear. I've tried pressing the volume rocker to the max for high volume output, but callers sound extremely faint. I've never really had this issue with my past flip phones. Am I missing a volume control somewhere, or do you think i have a defective unit?
