Haven't heard anything lately about the 2.0 update.anybody heard anything about it?is it possible we aren't getting it? any other updates in the works?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis morning when I turned on my Eris, I received a notice that I had 2 new updates! I was excited because I thought it might be Android 2.1. Hearing that updates can take a lot of battery power, I decided to use Advanced Task Killer to kill all unnecessary tasks before installing the updates. I opened ATK, killed the selected tasks, and boom!, the updates disappeared! I manually checked for updates under Settings, but it says my phone is up to date. I called Verizon and they said if Settings doesn't show any updates, they must have installed automatically. I don't buy that. Updates are supposed to take several minutes and I checked Settings right after the update notification disappeared. So unless they installed in a matter of seconds, something is wrong.

View 18 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how Swype updates its dictionary? I know it pulls words from my contacts list, but does it get them from any other source? There are certain words that constantly show up in Swype, even though I have deleted them countless times. "i'd" is a big one. I would never type the word "I" and leave it uncapitalized, and, yet, it somehow keeps reappearing in the dictionary. Certain letter combinations like "nt," "ou," and others continue to show up, even after I've deleted them. That's what has me thinking it's pulling words from something else on the phone. Is there any way to make it stop doing that?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis morning I power cycled my Eris for for first time in a week or so. After that, the notificaton area said I have four updates waiting.I think I selected the "My Tracks" app for update, but when I did, it told me to make sure I had at least 40% battery charge, the phone would be unusable during the update, etc., and it proceeded to install the OTA update to build 1.17.605.1.That's fine, but now the phone doesn't show any apps with available updates.Will these apps automatically notify me again that updates are available? Do all apps routinely check?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI have searched google and the forum here. I have also looked on the phone, but it is possible I am missing the setting I am looking for. Under the People 'app,' there is an updates and events tab. I am a bit OCD, and will clear notifications after I view them. However, facebook has about 7-8 notifications that are "stuck." A few say multiple updates and others say uploaded new pictures. I have viewed each of the notifications many times at this point and they still will not clear. Does anyone know how to clear the Updates section on the Updates and Events? I do have the facebook app installed and I am willing to remove it to make this go away.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just bought my Droid X a couple of weeks ago (2.2 and Rooted). It wanted to do some auto app updates and I told it to do them all not sure if it was before or after that that I noticed a red light by the ear "piece/speaker" and the phone was on and a battery level warning came on which I thought was premature. I plugged in the power cord the light went to green and I looked over a few minutes later and it was dead. I could be a little off on what happened when but that's what happened.
It wont power on now and I've tried holding a few different buttons while powering on and still nothing. I did check the settings the other day and it was successfully backing itself up not sure how to use that backup though. I just looked over after typing this post and the Motorola "M" was on the screen but I couldn't get it to do anything so I pulled the battery and tried again to boot it and nothing.
I just bought an Eris on eBay and switched to Page Plus from Verizon last week. I probably should have waited, but didn't know about 2.x. Anyway, does anyone know if PPC would get the updates as well, since they use VZW's network? I'm guessing no, they would have to set up their own distribution, but don't really know. If not, the only hope I have is for it to be rooted and flash the ROM (or whatever), right? So I should add to the bounty, right?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm planning to use my website to provide updates for my android application whenever the user decides to perform an update( in case there is one available) . I'm thinking to use http requests for the communication between the user and the server, so whenever there is a new update the server sents back to the user the link to download the apk of the update through the android browser. So far I think it should work !?!. But once I have the apk of the new update on the card ,and the installed old version of the application how do I actually perform the update ?
How an android application handles updates ? What kind of information does the application usually needs to send to request an update, and what does it receives back ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem when trying to stop location updates when the app goes into the background. In my onCreate() method I start request updates like this:
CODE:........
However the GPS icon remains in the status bar and the only way to get rid of it is to manually kill the application.
I have data that is to be refreshed from the Internet. Let's call it Model.
What I want to do: Basically it sounds like an MVC model, where the Model is also kept persistent in local (private) storage. The Model and its associated methods are application-wise. There are several Activity's that display and manipulate different aspects of it:
User
navigates across different Activity's
that display Model
from different perspectives. Currently I have a ListActivity for all elements, and an Activity for one element's details
Sometimes Model needs refreshing.
Surely this is done on a different thread. Refreshing can be triggered from several Activity's.
There are several (time consuming) common
tasks that can be triggered from different Activity's
My application loads and saves Model
to private storage when it starts
and stops
My problem: I'm not sure where to put Model and the related tasks in. Also, I don't know what mechanism to use to notify Activity's. Currently I come up with 2 approaches:
Use Service and send broadcasts. Saving to disk is performed in Service#onDestroyed(), so I want to minimize that by binding it to Activity's. At this point, I'm also not sure how to deliver the updated information: whether to provide a getter in Binder, or include that in the broadcast message.
Customize the Application object so that refreshing methods and getters are available globally. I then perform update from Activity's using AsyncTask. If there are other Activity's that are behind the current Activity, they will update in onResume() when the user navigates back.
Reasons I'm not using a class with static methods:
I need to save and store Model to disk. Some of the methods need a Context for displaying toasts, notifications, caching, etc.
Also, I don't put these functionalities in an Activity because there are several activities that manipulate the same piece of persistent data.
Below are pseudocode illustrating what I mean:
Using Service:
CODE:............
Make the functionality globally accessible in the custom Application object
CODE:...........
Weaknesses I can think of for the Service approach is complexity, since Binding is asynchronous. And it's very likely that I have to repeat some code because I have both ListActivity and Activity
For the Application approach, the documentation says not to rely on onTerminate() being called.
I'm pretty new to Android, and I had some questions that I've had trouble getting answered via the web. I have done a few searches, but I'm not sure how to word my question, either. So I apologize if this has already been covered somewhere...but here it goes. I was wanting to know how the Android handles application versions/ updates. Specifically, does an update blow away my database? Is there a way to preserve the users' settings as well?
