HTC Incredible :: Don't Destroy Old Phone - Will It Blend?
Jul 20, 2010
Like me, many of you are switching to the Incredible from another, older, less awesome phone. Some of you may even be moving to the Inc because you've had it with your current phone. But before you consider taking out your frustrations on your old phone by answering the age-old question, "Will it blend?", consider donating your phone. There are many organizations that will put your old phone to good use. Here in Raleigh, NC, an organization called Interact helps victims of domestic violence and will accept donations of used cell phones. You can also donate your phone to be used by troops overseas. So before you think of just throwing away a piece of technology, consider how it may benefit someone else.

I am looking for a way to add more advanced blend modes to my program (ones that I could define myself). How would you suggest going about this with Android?
Setting pixels individually is too slow to be a viable solution.

My mom has a car charger for her old Motorola Razr and it uses the same mini-USB plug that our phone uses. I was wondering if this would work in charging my Eris or will it just destroy the battery?

I have developed an application which is working fine.
In that i have used some static variables and also set Application level variables.
My problem is that even after setting finish() on each activity, application is showing in Running mode.
After closing the application, when i start the application after sometime, it will set the last changes.
How can i destroy my application?

I have an activity defined as below:
CODE:............
A strange thing is that, when running on emulator, and the back key is pressed, the activity was destroyed (I saw onDestroy() called in log). But when running on my Nexus One phone, and the back key is pressed, the activity is not destroyed (I didn't see onDestroy() called in log).

I have a chance to "test" the durability of a brand new Samsung stratosphere. I'm going to record it and post it on YouTube for all to see.
what should I do to see what it can withstand? I have access to vehicles, guns, some heavy equipment and a machinist shop.
This phone feels pretty fragile so I'm sure I'll only be able to test it one way... eager to see everyone's responses. I'll pick one and post video by the weekend

what puzzle me so much is that i can't destroy a GLSurfaceView while i don't want to exit the activity.
the fact is when i destroy a GLSurfaceView which had show in the screen (that means it has binded to the activity's SurfaceHolder), the activity exits without any prompting. Perhaps ,the Context which provided in the Construction of GLSurfaceView joins the two things together. so my conclusion is that a GLSurfaceView can only be destroyed when exit the activity. is there anyway to destroy a GLSurfaceView without exit activity? is there someone can provide a clue?

I have an Activity with an inner Handler. The problem is that after the activity is destroyed, the Handler is receiving messages for the destroyed activity. This breaks things because the activity is in an inconsistent state. I'm thinking this might be a bug in Android - it should probably delete all the messages in the queue when the activity is destroyed. There doesn't appear to be any way I can manually delete all messages in the queue (except by calling removeMessage(int what) with every possible variation of what, which seems a bit ridiculous). The only other solution I can think of is to create my own is_destroyed instance variable and check it in handleMessage(), but again that seems like a ridiculous hack. Has anyone come across this problem before?

I have a activity MyActivity, which "kills" yourself using the finish () method. The problem is: after the kill operation, method onDestroy is called, but the object of type MyActivity is never garbage-collected (I forced the GC run). It is causing a memory leak, because MyActivity is launched many times, by other activities. Does anyone know when the Activity object is supposed to be garbage- collected, and what can be done to avoid the issue I mentioned?

I have one doubt about back button. If one activity is running on foreground and if I press back button then it will destroy the activity. Now my question is is destroy and kill a process is different? cause if I open DDMS I can see same process is running..Only if I stop that process in DDMS then only it disappear. Is that process will take any memory space after pressing back button..

I am unable to completely destroy my app. My app is thread based app. Once i exit the app by calling on Destroy method, it is exiting properly. If i try to relaunch the application is says "The application stooped unexpectedly, try again". If i again select my app it is launching. It means in a alternative attempt its launching. as i am guessing, its not making Null for few static objects. once it shows the exception has explained above it is making all the objects null, so that i am able to relaunch. Pls can some one suggest how to overcome this issue. How to completely destroy the application?

I would like to know as to what will happen to the thread which has been created by an activity and the device is rotated. I have observed that the onDestroy method is called when this happens. Will the thread be killed too?If the thread is not killed, how can I reassociate the thread with the activity as a new instance of the activity is created on rotation.

Anyone using this? Sure it has a price, but this thing isnt using ANY battery life on my phone... I thought these apps running in the background (chat apps) were supposed to destroy battery? I leave this thing on nearly 8 hours a day, and hardly see any battery drain. The UI could use a few tweaks and themes, but for reliability its awesome!

I want my Activity to be always in portrait mode and I do NOT want the onDestroy() method to be called. There are some interesting articles about that at: http://www.androidguys.com/2008/11/24/rotational-forces-part-four/
The solution seems to be: In AndroidManifest.xml:
CODE:...............
I've tried it and it seems to work. Is there any other alternative or is it the correct solution?

I am working on an app that beeps every second. When I hit the home button I want it to close the program and stop beeping. Right now it closes the program but continues to beep.
What am I doing wrong?
if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HOME)) {
isdone = true;
mp.release();
counter.cancel();
finish();
}

I have created a threaded service the following way. code...
After I close the application the phone works really slow and I guess it is due to thread termination failure.
Does anyone know what is the best way to terminate all threads before terminating the application?

I've noticed that changing the background color of an android widget (f.ex. Button or TextView) by program:
myButton.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
makes it to loose its 3D shape, border, and shadows effects, and then appears like a ugly flat square. What am I missing?
Sorry for the very naive question but I couldn't get it right although tried for a time.

I would like to pausing or putting the application on background when pressing the back button, I don't want the application to go through the destroy state. Things are when I override onKeyDown and when I force to pause or stop the application by using onPause, I have some issuees with the wakelock and application crash, but when I press home button I go through onPause method and I have no exception, it's weird!

I frequently run into the problem that I have to preserve state between several invocations of an activity (i.e. going through several onCreate()/onDelete() cycles). Unfortunately, Android's support for doing that is really poor. As an easy way to preserve state, I thought that since the class is only loaded once by the class loader, that it would be safe to store temporary data that's shared between several instances of an activity in a static Bundle field. However, occasionally, when instance A creates the static bundle and stores data in it, then gets destroyed, and instance B tries to read from it, the static field is suddenly NULL. Doesn't that mean that the class had been removed and reloaded by the classloader while the activity was going through a create/destroy cycle? How else could a static field suddenly become NULL when it was referencing an object before?

Does anyone know if there is an Icon of the Incredible? I would like to replace the old telephone receiver icon on the dock with an Icon of the Incredible. If not could someone make me one from a picture or explain how to reduce the pic to a sice for the Icon? Currently I downloaded the Windows 7 icon pack from the market and i'm using the default cell phone icon which looks like an old canybar Nokia.

I bought an Eris on the 28th, but returned it sunday within the 30 day grace period to wait for the incredible. And its killing me xD.I had to switch back to my winmo 6.1 HTC vx6900, and switching back from android is rough. Truly, it is a day to day struggle that we must cope with one step at a time. Tasks that used to be so simple, like editing a contact or sending a text, are now unwieldy by comparison.Who else here has had to do this? Am I alone in having to deal with this?

So i think i might have the first shattered Incredible screen. I dropped it from two feet onto the metal camera protruding part. It hit with very little force. You can barely even see the mark from falling. So i pick it up and notice the entire screen is shattered when the screen was face up, the screen didn't even hit the ground! I can't believe how thin the Incredible screen is, it literally crumbled jut from the force of a light fall. I'm unimpressed in the build quality of the glass. I want to contact HTC about this and see if they can help me out, it seems like a manufacturing defect, maybe a weak screen? I need to find the biggest case that i can find for my replacement, one that could absorb a fall if it falls on the back part. I am thinking maybe a pillow as a case? That might help. Now im out ANOTHER 100 bucks to make an insurance claim on this. I highly recommend people keeping the insurance, the screen blows up even if it is not directly the part that hits if it is dropped.

I recently bought a window mount off ebay for my Inc and have been loving listening to Pandora and using the Navigation program while driving.
This weekend I drove a couple of hours back and forth to see a friend and both times I had issues with the amber notification light starting to blink. I had the phone plugged into the Verizon car charger. Could it be that the battery was getting too hot and this was the phones way of notifying me? I live in Florida so it would make sense that the phone was getting rather warm in the window mount.
Anybody else have this issue?
Can this cause any damage to the phone or the battery? Am I OK as long as I pull the phone down out of the heat whenever I notice this happening?

Does anyone know a way to call a phone number that is in a calendar entry on the Incredible? This is a feature I used 10 times a day on my blackberry and I can't believe there wouldn't be some way to do it on the incredible. I am a sales rep and when I set up an appointment I put the name of the office and then I type the phone number right next to the name. When I opened the entry on my bb I could then click on the number to initiate a call. The incredible doesn't seem to recognize the phone number as anything different than text..

Is there any way to set the screen timeout while you are on a phone call? There are lots of times that while on a call you need to hit a number to transfer and the screen times out way to fast and you end up accidentally, while trying to get the screen to wake up, that you hit the wrong number whlie the screen is dark. There has to be a setting somewhere for this. Any suggestions?
