Am I the only one who lurks on the Incredible boards whenever I visit AF? I figured the Incredible is in a way a cousin of the EVO (smaller, no 4G) so I'm trying to get at least a little bit of a heads up of what to expect when the EVO launches. I'm also new to Android so I'm picking up little tidbits in there as well. Call me crazy but it helps me cope with our wait.

I've had my Desire over a month now, we've had some teething problems but this is the most consistent one - there's no call waiting notification on my phone. I've missed about 3 calls and several texts while in another call, but my phone doesn't give me any indication that there is something else going on.
Some cursory googling found that other people have had their Desire make weird noises instead of a call waiting tone, but mine has nothing at all. Anyone have this happen to them or any ideas how to fix it? Although I'm fairly happy around technology I'm not too keen to root my phone, what with warranties and insurance and stuff.
The last couple of weeks I have noticed my incoming calls while on the phone are going direct to VM and I'm not getting a waiting alert. Any suggestions before calling Sprint?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have just created and iPhone web app, which has some x264 (mp4) video files on it. When I link directly to the file on the iPhone and the user taps the link, the video player is loaded and the video starts playing. Using the app on an Android phone causes the browser to download the video instead of just playing it. Is there a way to force a video player to just boot up and play the video not download it?

I'll number these questions to make answering easier. 1) I'm only looking at GSM phones, I'm thinking about buying the hero on ebay next week. I'm wondering if I should wait for the GSM moto droid or a GSM htc passion. Or just get the hero now. The benifits of waiting for me personally is faster hardware, and better screen/resolution. The downfalls of waiting is I could be waiting a long time for a GSM version of those phones. 2) The biggest thing that concerns me is about buying the hero is performance. I have a iphone 2g and what pisses me off about it is the performance, and that it has no multitasking. If I get the hero I don't want the performance to bother me. I have no issues if I need taskiller to close a few apps every now and then to keep the performance good. I'd like to know if performance is a real problem, or just a minor annoyance. 3) Is the "jump to letter" feature in the music player? for example can I jump to the music artists that begin with Y, instead of scrolling from the top all the way down? 4) Is there a button to show your currently running apps? or your most recent apps? If so, which is it? running or recent? Can you launch apps from that screen? 5) Is the warranty on the European GSM hero valid in the United States? Is the warranty card that comes with the phone used for anything? do you need it to have a warranty on your phone? What does it say on it?

Who else is anxiously waiting for the next generation of Android phones to come out?I recall Motorola saying they will be releasing a 2Ghz phone by the end of this year? Any speculation on whether these phones will be 4G? Can anyone say dual snapdragons! Also, side note I enabled a profile pic, but its not being displayed what the deal with that?
View 6 Replies View RelatedBeing that i have the original droid and its not a year old, i think im just going to wait to get a new phone. Rooting has already taken the droid to 1ghz and beyond, plus froyo is available too. Verzion will be redoing their network soon, so that means many phones will be useless. I really would like to tryout the droid x, but the only way for me to get it is to pay outright or buy it off of ebay. The droid 2 will be coming out soon, but the specs on it are kinda shady right now. These are just my thoughts. What are yours?
View 33 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to simulate or create a waiting voicemail message. I know there has a question about this that have been on the mailing-list/group here: http://bit.ly/b6ITDQ
In investigating trying to get a voicemail message simulated w/ the AVD Emulator, I tried just setting the incoming mail to "SEND_TO_VOICEMAIL" - but that does not create a message. There is not an indicator that the call was made until you check your call log (which is the expected behavior, so no complaints there).
I have looking through the Android documentation, tutorials/samples, and reference. I cannot find anything talking about creating or bootstrapping a voicemail message (and I haven't seen anything about handling other instances of a "Message Waiting Indicator").
I've looked around on a couple other message forums, like anddev.org, and haven't seen any examples dealing with voicemail. I have a Safari account and searched in the Android dev books and only find mention of the Intent URI for the Dailer (voicemail:).
If looks like when I'm trying to achieve would be done by creating a Notification and passing it to NotificationManager.notify() as done in this example article:[url]
Would PendingIntent be the Intent that I'm looking for? I'm new to the platform/api, so I'm likely just missing some knowledge on what I'm trying to do is called. I have done a fair bit of looking around, but I've reached a bit where I feel I'm going in circles.
If looks like once I could create/simulate voicemail, then I'd chance need to create a PhoneStateListener with a definition of onMessageWaitingIndicatorChanged() and call TelephonyManager.listen().
If I have missed a place to check or a resource - just point me briefly in that direction.
Is the calling waiting problem for all Android phones? Or just some? It's like my phone doesn't really hang up on the person I was talking to even if I tell it to.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently learning about widgets in Android.I want to create a WIFI widget that will display the SSID, the RSSI (Signal) level.But I also want to be able to send it data from a service I am running that calculates the Quality of Sound over wifi.Here is what I have after some reading and a quick tutorial:public class WlanWidget extends AppWidgetProvider{
RemoteViews remoteViews;
AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager;
ComponentName thisWidget;
WifiManager wifiManager;
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
int[] appWidgetIds) {
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new WlanTimer(context, appWidgetManager), 1, 10000);
private class WlanTimer extends TimerTask{
remoteViews remoteViews;
AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager;
ComponentName thisWidget;
public WlanTimer(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager) {
this.appWidgetManager = appWidgetManager;
remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
thisWidget = new ComponentName(context, WlanWidget.class);
wifiManager = (WifiManager)context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
@Override
public void run() {
remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.widget_textview,
wifiManager.getConnectionInfo().getSSID());
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(thisWidget, remoteViews);
}The above seems to work ok, it updates the SSID on the widget every 10 seconds.However what is the most efficent way to get the information from my service that will be already running to update periodically on my widget?Also is there a better approach to updating the the widget rather than using a timer and timertask? (Avoid polling)UPDATE As per Karan's suggestion I have added the following code in my Service: RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
ComponentName thisWidget = new ComponentName( context, WlanWidget.class );
remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.widget_QCLevel, " " + qcPercentage);
AppWidgetManager.getInstance( context ).updateAppWidget( thisWidget, remoteViews );This gets run everytime the RSSI level changes but it still never updates the TextView on my widget, any ideas why?
