HTC Desire :: Turning Off Incoming SMS Preview In Default Application?
May 27, 2010
Using the default message app, is there a way of turning off the incoming text preview in the notifications bar? I know you can turn off the incoming text notification altogether. But that isn't ideal. I would like the phone to vibrate and produce a notification for new incoming texts but not show message content. This can be done using "handcent" message app but I'd prefer to use the phone default.

I just updated my Hero today and now I am trying add back all that I had prior to update. My question is how do I use the handscent message without the stock message popping up. I only want to use the handscent message not the messaging system that comes with the phone.

On my Desire I have changed my default incoming ringtone (in Settings> Sound & Display> Phone ringtone, click Ok) and when I go back in to settings the change has been saved, but for some reason when I receive a call I still only get the original impatient 'ringring' tone. The same happens even if I set the tone for a contact.
Has anyone else had this issue and know how to resolve it?

I saw somewhere in a video that when you are switching windows you could see a preview of the website (like the iphone, or in my case the ipod touch). I was wondering if there was an option to enable that compared to just the name of the site and address. Figured it makes life a little easier and looks prettier!

I downloaded opera mini and have it and the stock browser on my phone. When I got it, it asked what I wanted to use as default for internet. Well my bookmarks mainly and I chose the stock. Now, I'm in Nigeria and the internet isn't great on my phone, but I'm getting a 100Mb allowance today. I want to revert to Opera as my default cause it uses less Mb and I am here for a month so want to stay within my quota. Is there any way to do this?

Like we all know, we can use another App to do the same things. Example we can send and receive sms using Messages Application by HTC or we can use Handcent SMS. My question is, how to find and setup and configure default App? Example for browser I choose Opera Mini. Which menu we can do it?

Is it possible to get to the HTC's SMS message widget app to open up the Inbox of Handcent? I've turned everything off in the Desire's default messages app, but it still continues to open the HTC message app. Also when I've sent an SMS & press back, it automatically goes to the HTC message app?? Will pressing 'Force Stop' in the manage applications section stop the HTC app, or will it stop everything to do with the SMS functionality? I've read all I can on this & other sites, but I can't get it to change. Is this just the way it is & it may be altered in the future.

Every time that I want to do a Layout, I'm getting a black layout preview then I can drop stuff on it, that's ok, but how can I change the size of that blank surface (xml). The question came because I set a folder layout-large and then when I add a new layout.xml to that folder it came with the same size, as a layout-normal.

Let's say in my example I am working with SurfaceView for my CameraSurfaceView. I have a few questions, hope you can help me.
1. When this SurfaceView gets created (I assume via final CameraSurfaceView cameraView = new CameraSurfaceView (getApplicationContext()), this will result in a call createSurface() in SurfaceFlinger with format, width and height. Am I correct?
Is this SurfaceView also my UI window if I want to draw anything? I thought if I call setType(PUSH_BUFFER) on this surface, I won't be able to do any drawing on this surface.
2. How does the application pass these information like format, width and height to SurfaceFlinger for the allocation? Is it by using .setFormat, .setFixedSize?
3. How do they methods .setFormat, .setFixedSize related to the surfaceHolder.surfaceChanged() callback?

So I started with this little write-up. I wanted to try to make an application that will take pictures while running in the background. To start though I wanted an application that once opened would simply take a picture every X seconds. After recreating the classes and methods show in the walk through below I ran into a few problems.
http://itp.nyu.edu/~sve204/mobilemedia_spring10/androidCamera101.pdf
For starters its seems that the onCreate function sets up all the objects for the application, but if you try to take a picture through any other method than onClick (IE directly calling it) the application actually hasn't setup the canvas or the preview yet.
My first question:
Is there any conditional method that you can setup that will wait till all the "onCreate" objects are created and their associated methods are called and finished? How do I wait for the application to finish putting together my surface and starting the cameras preview before automatically starting to take pictures?
My second question:
I am required to have a preview available to take pictures. Is there anyway to push this application to the back (IE running in the background) while still taking pictures? Is drawing to a canvas a requirement? (From what I can tell AFAIK, you are required to have a surfaceholder to start preview, when you put up another screen or application that pauses the current application and closes the surface/canvas you were presenting that preview on). If my understanding is correct on all of this the best I will be able to do is make a 1x1 pixel canvas that will still take up the screen due to the application being in the foreground.
My Third question:
Is there any way around this? Can you still utilize the camera in some fashion without requiring the preview be drawn?

I have a non-rooted 2.2 Inc with the 2.3 version G mail app. Since updating to 2.3, I can no longer preview/download attachments. The app gets stuck on "Fetching Attachment" and eventually force closes. I've sought help from Google but there's no official answer to this issue. Does anyone here have any advice? I've even gone so far as to do a factory reset, but to no avail. Like many of you, the Incredible is my workhorse on the road and I desperately need the ability to open attachments.

I have some questions regarding the code below for camera preview application.
1. How does surfaceCreated() and CreateSurface() relate? Is this surface created via createSurface() from SurfaceFlinger client to SurfaceFlinger server? If so, there must be 2 buffers (frame buffers from display driver if there is how acceleration or if it is the emulator, it will be from ashmem) associated with this surface: surface BB (for composition) and surface FB (for display).
2. How does the rendering buffer (frame buffer BB and frame buffer FB) get allocated in the camera preview application? Are they allocated by the application?
3. How does this surface relate to the preview buffers? Are the preview buffers allocated by the Camera Service during startPreview?
private class CameraSurfaceView extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
private SurfaceHolder mHolder; private Camera camera = null;
public CameraSurfaceView(Context context) { super(context);
mHolder = getHolder(); mHolder.addCallback(this);
mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
} public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
camera = Camera.open(); try {
camera.setPreviewDisplay(mHolder);
} catch (Exception e) { Log.e("Camera", "Failed to set camera preview display", e);
} } }

File is present in sdcard/image.jpg I would like to create my own application (activity). On a button press, the image stored in the sdcard needs to be displayed using the built-in image viewer. On pressing the back button from the Image viewer, it should go back to my running application.

I am writing an app to capture the camera preview frames and convert it to bitmap in Android.
Here is my code:...........
After I start preview, the callback got called with data, but the bitmap is null.
What did I do wrong when convert the byte array to BitMap?

I updated to Froyo recently on my HTC Desire and noticed that the preview picture on my gallery folders changed. Is there an easy way to change the preview picture of the folder? It seems to be using the first picture in the folder. I tried deleting the folder and recreating it from my computer but didn't work. The first picture in the folder also doesn't seem to be related to the alphabetical order, or date order so not sure why it's even picking that picture as the first one.

There's something wrong with my Desire. Sometimes the multi touch doesn't work at all. In that case, I have to reboot the phone. I don't know why. This thing happened 4 times today. And another problem is turning on the Desire. Sometimes the phone vibrates shortly for 5-6 times and cannot turn on unless I take out the battery and re-insert it. What's wrong with the phone?

I had an app installed that would turn off my wifi when I left my house and turned it back on when I got home and for the life of me can't find it anymore. All I remember was that it had a yellowish Y in the logo.

However the GPS icon remains in the status bar and the only way to get rid of it is to manually kill the application.
