View 3 RepliesWe are developing hardware for Android mobile products.
We are using Samsung Galaxy mobile running on T-Mobile & AT&T cellular networks.
We notice during telephone calls, either dialing outgoing or incoming calls, the display turn off almost immediately when the telephone calls started.
Is there anyway to keep the display turn on all during the entire telephone calls?
I understand you can make all the hard buttons to wake up your phone by modify rhis register, HKCUControl PanelKeybd and create REG_DWORD "DefaultKeyLock" Value "0"
step by step instruction on how to modify this register inside Android?
One of the feature on cyanogenmod most useful to me was the ability to kill any app via the long press of the back button..
Now I'm using a (beta) rom of Ice Cream and missing this feature so much.
Is there any app or other way to add this? obviously the phone (HTC Desire) is rooted and s-off.
So I use the task killer...and at the moment say when I kill tasks it'll tell me there is about 200M avaliable memory free...if I use the phone for a day it'll maybe go down to 150M even if I am still killing apps and there is nothing in 'running services'. If i turn off the phone and turn it back on it goes up to 250M. What is running that I can't stop myself to make it go down from the 250M but that I can just eliminate by turning off the phone?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI bought an HTC First a few weeks ago ( I think lol) and love it so far. So earlier today at school I was on my phone, and nothing was wrong. I put it in my pocket and about 20 minutes later I pulled it back out and it was dead. Odd, because it was almost full before. So I thought, whatever I'll charge it at home. So after school I put it on charge and the red light wasn't blinking. I gave it around 30 minutes and still nothing. It's been a few hours and still, it isn't charging or turning on. I tried holding power/vol+/vol- for more than 2 minutes. I have warranty but HTC said if I send it in I'll be forced to pay to replace the screen too, which has a TINY crack on the corner .

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've read about how task killers aren't necessarily good because of the way they FC apps, so I'm wondering, is it safe to go into my Running Apps list and Force Stop certain apps? I'm thinking of apps like Amazon MP3, Maps, Peep, Facebook, Fandango, etc. General things like that, nothing system-important.

Is there anything like services (the way we have in windows) which i need to stop to restrict them to run automatically and at startups. I am new to Android.
A few weeks ago I switched my EVO 4G to the standard Android 2.1 UI through the widely publicized "clear defaults" and "force stop", then pressing "Home" and selecting to default to the Android launcher. This worked very well. Unfortunately for me, I thought this was just going to be a test drive. I wanted to see how it compared to Sense UI, but now I can't figure out how to re-activate Sense. According to the description of the process for other Android phones with Sense, you are supposed to be able to turn Sense back on by doing essentially the same process. Select application "HTC Sense", and do "clear defaults" and "force stop" again. Then press the Home button, and select to default to Sense UI when asked.
This doesn't work on my EVO 4G. When I perform these steps, pressing the Home button has no effect. There is no popup asking which UI to use as default. The standard Android UI remains in effect. I've done a fair amount of google searching, but haven't seen any explanation how to do this so far. I'm hoping that it's possible without wiping the phone back to its initial state. Anyone know how to restore Sense? I'd like to experiment with it, at least until the day Froyo comes out for it.
If I Force Stop an app (via Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Any App->Force Stop) will the app ever start up automatically again or is the only way to start it up again to have the user start it. I have an app that starts a service. The service registers an alarm I've defined, with the Alarm Manager and this is recieved as expected. In my manifest I've defined a TimerIntentReceiver, to receive that alarm I've defined. If I Force Stop the app then is it possible to have the Alarm Manager "wake" my app up via the TimerIntentReceiver I've defined. I'm not seeing this happen. Once I Force Stop my app it never runs again unless I manually start it. Is there anything I can listen for, apart from BOOT_COMPLETE, to start up my app? Or does the user always have to start all apps.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've done a search but found nothing. It seems like when I have to force stop an application, it takes me 8-10 button presses to accomplish it (menu-settings-applications-manage applications-sort by size-sort az-find application-scroll down-force stop). It's just not easy. Especially if I'm driving or jogging. Is there a quick and simple way to force stop an application?

View 2 Replies View RelatedOn both 2.1 & 2.2 I have found that occasionally the browser progress bar will only get 90% before becoming getting stuck. You can try as many times as you like to view the page but it will always get stuck.The only way I have found to cure this is to force stop the internet app, then everything is fine again. Anyone else seen this or know how to stop it occurring?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a service which runs in the background when the user starts using my app. I am using it to do some posts to our server. I always close my service by calling stopSelf as soon as the posts have been made or failed.
But I recently observed two times that my service did not stop. I saw that in the running services in settings on my device that it has been sitting there for over a few hours.
So I was trying to see if I can alternatively set a timer using which I can force the service to stop after a few minutes no matter what.
Has anyone else had the problem with their alarm force closing? It will ring on time but an error message pops up and says it has to close.

Can I turn it off?
For a project we are working at in school, we will need to find a way to turn OFF/ON the USB port of a tablet (running 4.1) from an application that we have to develop. Our thema is to control OFF/ON the 5V DC power (output) by a predefined schedule.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThere are several ways to terminate an app or to "clear cache". What are the differences between them?
Here are some I have been using without deeper understanding:
- Long press middle button and swiping out one app
- App manager: Clear cache, clear data, force stop
- Restart phone
- Use task manager app to kill app in question
I'm designing an HTML page for display in Android browsers. Consider this simple example page:
<html>
<head><title>Simple!</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><img src="http://sstatic.net/so/img/logo.png"></p>
</body>
</html>
It looks just fine on the standard HVGA phones (320x480), but on HDPI WVGA sizes (480x800 or 480x854) the built-in browser automatically scales the image up; it looks ugly.
I've read that I should be able to use this tag to force the browser to stop scaling my page:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; minimum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;" />
... but all that does is disable user scaling (the zoom buttons disappear); it doesn't actually prevent the browser from scaling my image. Adjusting the scale factors (setting them all to 2.0 or 0.5) has no effect at all.
How can I force the WVGA browser to stop scaling my images?
Has anyone been having this trouble lately? I've tried clearing out old messages and clearing the cache but yet it still force closes on almost every picture while resizing it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhenever I turn on my phone, it will resend a text that I sent to someone from a conversation previous to when I turned it off. It used to send just blank texts to the first one or two or three people in my messages, but now it sends full texts that I sent from before by itself. I deleted all my undelivered texts. Plus I got task killer and I shut down my messages before I turn my phone off but it still does it. How do I stop this!
