I have been getting quite a few Blank Screen's daily, Cant do nothing with the phone. Have to pull the battery, I feel like i have a BB again. Is anybody else having any issues with this build. Nothing has changed on the phone, no new apps, running OC at 800/250. I guess it is time to update to the latest and greatest.

However, something with the blog's mobile site causes my phone to freeze frequently and not be able to be turned off via the sleep button. My only solution is to complete a physical battery pull (HTC Droid Eris).My question is this: Are frequent battery pulls for the phone bad? It seems like the answer would be "very much so", or "not at all, pull away!".

I believe one is the actual phone? i have deleted any pics off the phone. Is there a way to just have the sd card pop up? The only thing on the other one is LOST.dir

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've come across a peculiar problem in one of my apps recently. I have a WebView that pulls down a webpage using loadUri(). This is being loaded into an activity that has just the WebView and a Button below the WebView inside a RelativeLayout. It works fine in the emulator on Android 1.6, 2.1, and 2.2. However, it does not show the webpage in Android 1.5. To strip things down to a bare minimum,
I used the following code from the API docs and tested it with similar results:
CODE:...........
Any thoughts as to what might be v1.5 specific that would cause this to not work? Am I missing something here?
Mine pulls slightly to the left. not enough to make me exchange my phone but enough to annoy me and make me paranoid.
Any way to calibrate or fix?
Not sure if im missing something here. I have the messaging app on my home screen. So when I click on the messaging icon it pulls up a list of all my contacts. I then choose a contact and it then gives me options to call or sms the contact.
How is this anything to do with messaging. When pressing the messaging app I would expect my sms inbox to come up.. Have I broke it?
I am using alarmmanager in my app. It works perfectly for Nexus One and wakes the phone up everytime the alarm fires. But for droid it seems that the phone doesn't wakeup, is there an extra setting on the phone which can prevent the phone from waking up?

The I phone has better games i.e. Iron-man, you can easily download movies to it through I tunes, it has the big hitters in the comic industry DC and Marvel the list just goes on and on. Is it that the Droids technology is just inferior to the I phones?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to find out how a MIME type is found. For instance, say I want my application to bring up Contacts. Where can I find the MIME type for that task? I currently have the following:
Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); intent.setType("*/*");
Intent newIntent = Intent.createChooser(intent, null); startActivityForResult( newIntent , SHOW_VERIFY_ACTIVITY );
And the wildcards work. But I would like to be more explicit. Like the following:
intent.setType("vnd.android.cursor.item/contacts");
...but is not valid.

The Moto Droid has a Arm Cortex A8 processor clocked at 550MHz and I have heard people say that this processor is so much better than the Omnia II's processor at 800mhz. Also that it could even match up with a 1ghz processor.
How is the above possible and what makes Droids processor so special?
I'm up for a new phone to replace my hated BB Storm. I played with the DX and D2, ( still can't decide) in the store. What struck me was the amount of apps or widgets for things I'll never use cluttering the screens. Can these be removed or is this all linked to the OS? Is this what people are talking about in reference to installing ROMS? I understand that this is not yet possible on the Ds because of eFuse. I also understand it is being worked on.

Code:
ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(8888);

the server runs until it reaches ss.accept() like it should but the client still can't connect. The client usually times out and nothing happens
I'm running both these programs using eclipse on my computer. I set the premissions in the manifest for both programs to let them use the internet and I have the port forwarding .
Getting ready to customize my DROID's boot animation. Opened 1 of 2 folders of PNG files using Adobe Bridge. 76 files in the first folder, 16 files in the second. The first set of files draw the "DROID" word, then the eye. The second 16 files animate the eye.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been viewing this forum for months and I'm surprised that I haven't joined until now lol... I'm currently a tmobile customer and will be getting the X in November. I've read in a few places and from a few people in person that the 2.2 froyo update was a tad buggy in small ways after the update. My question here is... Are any of you who recently bought a droid x PRELOADED with 2.2 have any problems too? Are is it primarily those who came from 2.1? I am honestly hoping to find a droid x with 2.1 so I can hold out on the update until the kinks are fixed but I was just curious if there was a difference for those who updated and those who got there's preloaded.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've had my Droid since June of 2010 and up until a few days ago the keys have started to stick. Pretty much when I press down on them they stick for a split second and spring back up making a click noise each time I click on certain keys (Almost all of them). Not many of the keys are giving me double letters when I type due to this but some are. I called Verizon about it they want to troubleshoot the issue and I have no problem with doing that, I just will do it later at home since I am out now. So what do you guys think..? Should I replace it or keep using it some more see if the sticking stops? I really REALLY hate to replace my Droid seeing as it's new fresh out of the box and I've had no other problems with it.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy battery life was bad, but it was OK, but in the past few days my battery life is 10% per 30minutes(Just over 5 hours on a charge).I used to get 8-10 hours on a charge.I noticed last week that while it was charging the status of the battery was "Overheat".I think I somehow cooked the battery?I use TaskKiller and kill 95% of apps automatically, I have bluetooth,wireless,GPS disabled and the screen dimmed.I have not changed or installed any new apps.I have not changed the way I use the phone at all.My battery was dead, 0%, and it charged to 95% in about 45 minutes.Is this even possible?In fact in the past two days I have not gotten the charge above 95% at all.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI had pulled it out in approximately 1 second, turned it off, and placed it in a pot of rice for about 2 days, and now it seems to be working as normal. I experience a few bugs with it, which existed before the water incident. Specifically, it freezes up every now and then. Not enough to get me extremely frustrated, but it mildly irritates me. This seems to happen when I attempt to access the more demanding features of the phone like the music (from the SDCard) and the camera. This is only remedied by removing/reinserting the battery. But more importantly, I would like to know how to categorize my music. The Android 2.2. Froyo update has screwed this up in a sense, as it has placed all my mp3's that lacked album info in their own "sdcard" category/album. Does anyone know how to remedy this? Or can provide a link to a guide on organizing mp3's on Droids, or any specific software that can make this process easier?
