Is there any way to shorten the tap interval for the keyboard? For example, if I want to put a question mark at the end of a sentence, I can tap and hold "k" until the question mark appears, or, I can pres "12#" and tap "?"
Is there a way so that I can make the "tap and hold" shorter, so that the question mark will appear more quickly?

This might be a dumb question, but does powering the phone on and off shorten the life of the phone? I power it off completely every night and then power it back on the next morning to save some battery. I've always done this with my other phones and never had a problem, but this being a smart phone with so many applications running, it's like a computer so I wasn't sure if it's just better to leave it in sleep mode all night instead.

View 5 Replies View RelatedSo I have a physical chart of time intervals (minute:second) which map to point values (for example: 9:59-10:10 = 59.7) and I need to write a program that tries to find out the point value for a given time (such as 10:02 would return 59.7). I would also like to have the interval chart stored in a .properties file, so my other "calculators" are all consistent. What would be the best way to program this?

(My backup plan is the alarm manager) What's odd is there doesn't even seem to be any preset interval either .so accounts are never synced!
View 5 Replies View Relatedim working on a audio profile switcher for android and as part of the entire project, i have a service that is running in the background using the following timer code:
Code:
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate( new TimerTask() { public void run() {.....}, 0, nextUpdateInterval);
What im noticing is that the timer is not honoring the dynamically generated next update interval period...the nextUpdateInterval is declared as private static long which is initialized to 30000 (30 seconds) for the first run....then once a profile is found, i do some math and update the nextUpdateInterval...i have converted the nextUpdateInterval value back out to hours/minutes for debugging purpose, and the calculation is working as expected...like it shows me in hours and minutes, when the next timer execution should take place...
nextUpdateInterval calculation:
Code:
long entirePeriodDiff = toTimeMiliseconds - fromTimeMiliseconds;
then once a profile is found, i calculate the elapsedTime like so:
Code:
long elapsedTime = rightNowDate.getTime() - fromDate.getTime();
and then i update the nextUpdateInterval:
Code:
nextUpdateInterval = entirePeriodDiff - elapsedTime;
One example scenario: Profile of 'Work' is set from 9AM to 4:30PM, the service/app is executed at 2:02PM (EST), my toast message is executing constantly (indicating the 'run' method in the timer is being executed) and is acting as a count down telling me how much time is left...in this case 2:28 and decreasing...ideally this should not display until the 2:28 is up...

Dev = ne0fhyk from XDA.
From the XDA forum: Link to app page = [APP][ROOT/Keyboard] Keyboard Manager - Dual keyboard: Portrait/landscape switch - xda-developers
Verbage:
Keyboard Manager allows you to customize what keyboard (input method) appear on input based on your phone orientation.
It displays the keyboards you have enabled on your android device, and let you select one per orientation (landscape/portrait).
As your phone switch orientation, the app automatically switch the keyboard.
Requirements:
- Rooted android device (app was tested on Samsung captivate 2.1)
- Root Explorer app, or similar app that allows you to edit the permissions of a file.
To install:
1- Download the app (KeyboardManager.apk) on your device sdcard.
2- Using Root Explorer, move the apk file to /system/app
3- Using Root Explorer, edit the file permissions like below:
-- User: 'Read/Write' checked
--Group: 'Read' checked
--Others: 'Read' checked
4- Exit Root Explorer
The app should be visible in your launcher as 'Keyboard Manager'
Update:
- Added option to disable notification icon
-' start on boot' feature is disabled because it's not yet complete and tested... Sorry for the confusion
Bugs:
-On certain applications (i.e: Messaging on Samsung Captivate), the input window occasionally freeze on orientation switch. Exiting the app, and resuming should fix it.
The app is still in development.
For those of you that are familiar with better keyboard. I was wondering about an easy way to switch from the t9 keyboard to the regular qwerty keyboard. I was under the impression that swiping left would toggle between the 2 but all that does is bring me to the numbers and symbols keyboard. I've been changing back and forth to the android keyboard because its faster than going into the better keyboard settings.

Anyway, I want to try this thing out. I love SwiftKey, but I wanna play around with other keyboards as well.
I'm still running 2.1.
I am not on verizon now, but I am loving the incredible, and will likely make the jump. I use a nokia now, so Android is all new to me. I went in to verizon last night to play with one and had it in my hands for about an hour playing with it (SO customizable!). 2 things were driving me crazy!
1. I like the number/phone keypad for typing vs the qwerty for one handed texting, I found in settings how to turn that one on, and like the layout, but every time I went to enter text, it was on abc, not xt9 (xt9 is predictive), abc has 3 letters to a key. its easy to hit the abc/xt9 switch button, but annoying. ANYWAY TO FIX THAT?
2. I thought there should be a way to switch keyboards while using a keyboard. Example: I am typing a text one handed using the number pad, and I can't find how to switch to qwerty with out closing the text and going fairly deep into settings. Is there a way to do it faster? Can I make a shortcut to one of the 7 home screens?
