Has anyone else here have this problem? After I tap "Check Now", the little "Checking..." circle keeps going around for hours. No message about failing or finding anything - just the circle going around and around and around... I checked on the HTC website, but only find one or two more people with this problem. Anyone here have or had the problem and successfully got the update later?

After you give an app permission to auto-update, does anyone know how often it checks for a new version of itself? Does the app check daily and if an update is found (and provided it does not alter the permissions) apply it? Is it possible to alter the frequency that it checks?
I ask because I just opened up the Android Market and right as I did so it suddenly started updating half a dozen apps. Now that was fine, since they all had been given permission to auto-update, but I want to know if they only check for an update when the market is opened, or if it was just a coincidence.
Just got my X a couple days ago and want to make sure I have the latest system updates. I have tried several times, but when I do Settings/About Phone/System Update, it always says: "Check for update was not available at this time. Try again later." I interpret this to mean that the update facility is down or busy, but it could also be interpreted to mean that there is no update available because I have the latest. What does it actually mean? By the way, my firmware version is listed as "2.1 update1" - is that the latest?

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy wife and I have yet to receive the OTA update for our DXes. I verified my system version is still .516. Every time I hit "System Updates" it either gives me a quick "can't do that right now" message or it sits and spins forever on "checking for available update". I have not received any notifications of an update being available.
Is it just my household? Is anyone else experiencing this? And does anyone have advice for me, besides "be patient"?
I had to turn off auto correction and word prediction. I need a way to optionally spell check text after I've finished typing in a text field. Is there a way out of the box to do that? Do I need an additional application? If so, what's the best one?

I just want to be able to check my minutes quickly when i want.. since it's only 450 i don't wanna fuck up.

I installed the Missed Reminder app on my phone this weekend but I've read around here that this is a big battery drain program. By navigating to the Battery usage section within the Android settings, the Missed Reminder app doesn't even show up. Does this mean the app is NOT draining, or am I looking in the wrong area?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to check whether there is any direct API available to check whether a particular Database exists or not ?
Currently, to initialize data for the first time (not repeatedly), we try of open the db and if it fails we know the database does not exists otherwise it is already created and initialized.
Is there any simple API available to check whether DB exists or not ?
I had a moment of paranoia in the theatre recently. I turned phone off, couldn't remember if I'd turned the phone off, then realised the only way to check the phone was off was to press the button at the top, which if the phone was on would bring me to the screen unlock thing... but if it was off, would turn it on. Is there a way to check its 'offness' without turning it on?
View 17 Replies View RelatedI am working on a simple app for the HTC EVO that blinks the alternate notification LED when a new text message is received. I have this part working great via a Broadcast Receiver but I need some way to turn the LED off when the user has read the message(s) using their default SMS app. I'm not sure if it is best to do this in the receiver or in a background service.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to programmatically without root check and see how a program was installed?
The only solution I've been able to find is using root - and tapping into a database that the Vending application uses;
CREATE TABLE assets10(_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, content_uri TEXT, s tate TEXT, download_pending_time INTEGER, download_start_time INTEGER, install_t ime INTEGER, uninstall_time INTEGER, size INTEGER, type TEXT, package_name TEXT, is_forward_locked TEXT, signature TEXT, refund_timeout INTEGER, version_code IN TEGER, server_string_id TEXT UNIQUE);
Most specifically I can check to this database using my package name and/or signature and see if it's ever been installed by the market. Then if it has you could check to see if it's been uninstalled.
As for background, I'm just messing around with ways to distinguish real users from pirated versions. I've noticed from an application I've posted that I only have approximately 100 downloads and 50% active, yet my server which is used by the application shows approximately 200ish unique users within the past few days.
I have a string called extStorageDirectory which is set to my SD Card and then "/mypics", I can then save a picture in to this directory, but only if the directory exsists. So how do I check to see if the directory exsits, and if it doesn't creates the directory?

I was offered an update and the instruction book, p203, recommends me to check that the automatic backupis enabled by HOME>MENU>Settings>Privacy.
However there is no "privacy" heading in the list of options.
How to make the check?
I've ready in other posts that there is currently no way to root if you installed any of the 2.1 leaks (I have the v3 leak).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an IntentService which makes some web service calls. Before making these calls I check to make sure the device has network connectivity.
I am doing so like this:
CODE:.............
Unfortunately, when I'm debugging on my Android device, this returns false when I have both a network and a wireless connection.
Some interesting tidbits about connec.getNetworkInfo(0):
CODE:...................
Clearly this code is not sufficient (perhaps it would only return true if I sent some bit over the network and turned the radio on?). Moreover, since I'm not well versed in the ConnectivityManager, I'm assuming I should probably be scanning all networks (ie: getNetworkInfo(0 through N)).

View 1 Replies View Related i'm a computer forensics student who's trying to explore android forensic possibilities. I have compiled a module for testing devices (i have access to a Samsung S2 and a Galaxy Nexus running 4.1 and 4.0 respectively) in which i want to insert the module into the phone (i.e. insmod module.ko).
My problem is, i'm always faced with the problem of "insmod invalid module format" everytime i try to insert the module into the phone. I know that i can correct this by reflecting the appropriate kernel version in the vermagic string when i compile my module but i wanna find a generic way to do this; in other words, i wanna find a way to bypass this kernel version checking everytime i try to insert the module.
I've come across insmod having the -f flag as stated here (this would theoretically bypass the kernel version checking and i wanna verify this theory) insmod.
Actually I am checking the code flow of NFC in Android-ICS.But i got stuck because of some files are not present in ICS.

I plan to get a Droid X here sometime in the coming month, and I'm terribly excited about it. One thing I'd really like to be able to do is check my university email on my phone, without having to go through a browser. Is it possible that I'll be able to do so? When I go to log in to the website where I check my email, it says "Microsoft Exchange" at the top. I've heard others mention "exchange" email accounts. Is this what it's referring to? Will I be able to check my universal inbox and get my school email?
