Are there any benefits to having a family plan over 2 individual lines? If we are both used to using up to 450 minutes, that's going to bump us to the 1400 minute plan, which is more than 2 individual lines. either that or suck it up and try to use less minutes to save ten bucks. Anything I am missing here. For some reason I was under the impression that these were a good deal over having 2 individual lines.

Ok did a search, couldn't really find an answer for the Incredible.Can I, and if so how do I set notifications(mostly text notifications) for each person individually?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just spoke to a rep and was told that for four people, the price was: $140 for first two lines (includes $10 EVO premium)$40 for two other lines.Wth tax, this is almost $200 and not counting any insurance you might want to add. The reps stated if you buy the EVO and more than one line, you must get the 1500 minute plan. My family of four rarely breaches 600 minutes of our 700 minute plan (my family are mainly text maniacs).Since I would be forced into a 1500 minute plan and pay the $10 premium, the Sprint plan would be about $40 more than VZW. If you use the minutes, it would be fine, but not only are you forced into $10 more, you also are forced into the 1500 minute plan- even if you do not need it.Is this what others are being told? I was going to get the EVO to test it out, but may just wait for all the testers here to report back, through the next few weeks.

This is the first time I've heard of it: http://groups.google.com/group/android-discuss/browse_thread/thread/2... So heads-up when you use wake locks to keep data connectivity alive.
I develop with such a scenario in mind, but nonetheless will include a note in my manual(s) to not use my app on a metered plan, just to err on the safe side.
Android 2.2 Froyo Update: HTC Release Date Plans in 2010 : Product Reviews Net. Hopefully this holds true and at the beginning of Q2 like June 4th!
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been finishing off the port of one of my games to Android, with the last two things being music and sound effects. I have implemented the music system now, using a series of MediaPlayer instances, and that all seems to be working fine (I only need to do limited things with music, just playing, pausing and stopping really). I am now trying to finish of the sound effects, but I am struggling.
1. I am targeting Android 1.6+ and therefore do not have access to the setOnLoadCompleteListener function. What is my best way to wait until all sound effects are loaded? I am thinking my best bet is to load all my sounds, then load a dummy (short, silent) sound, and then sit in a loop attempting to play that sound (and then sleeping for 1ms) until the play returns non zero. Does this sound reasonable? Would it be crazy to do this process for every sound effect I load, as the calling code expects the load function to stall as long as it takes for the load to complete - I am not interested in the sound pool trying to do any async stuff for me, all of my background loading is done in a separate thread, and this thread can stall as long as it likes, as long as it actually loads what I am asking it to.
2. Is there anyway I can find out when a sound effect has finished playing? The games I am porting might have code along the lines of 'play sound effect, wait for it to complete, then fade the screen out and load next context' which on other platforms is easy enough to implement. In OpenAL for example, at the end of each frame I check if the OpenAL state for a given SFX is now stopped, in which case I update the game side sound handle to let it know it's now in the stopped state. But I just can't seem to find a way to achieve the same thing on Android. I am beginning to think my only option would be to (somehow) work out the length of the sample, and then when play is called, set a timer to trigger 100ms after the sample time (100ms to account for any delay in the sound starting), and in the timer function set the game side sfx state to be stopped. Does this sound reasonable? Are there any better ways of handling this?
3. Will a sound pool run out of ids? It seems it have been designed so you have one sound pool per 'level' and after each level you release the pool. This doesn't really fit too well with all my code so I am trying to avoid it. But I notice the documentation states a lot of functions will work even after a sound id is no longer valid (it has stopped for example), the functions won't do anything, but they want break anything. This to me says that id's are never recycled. So are there limits? If so what are the limits?
4. Finally, are there any plans for improving the sound pool system? Ideally I'd like to see it work in a similar way to the other main sound APIs. The reason being I target multiple platforms on the engine side, and have 100% generic game code, so I need to establish a base level interface to the API which will work across the board. This is made very difficult by the SoundPool API being set up to work in a specific way, as opposed to just having reasonable low level functions, and allowing the end user to wrap this up how they see fit. I like the fact there are high level classes around to handle this work of work, and I agree these should remain, but I'd like to see something perhaps lower level exposed, which the SoundPool could wrap around perhaps.
Would the process just require using the RUU to flash back to stock and waiting for the update? I am currently all the way rooted and running the Cyanogen nightly.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I create a contact on the phone and assign a group, there are TWO 'friends' and TWO 'family' groups. All the contacts I setup from my GMail account show up in one 'friends' or one 'family' group. The duplicate groups are both empty. I went to an area where I can delete groups but the empty 'friends' and 'family' groups cannot be deleted. However, it looks like the groups I setup at GMail (where all my contacts are in) CAN be deleted. I'd rather not delete those groups because then those contacts will probably no longer be in a group, and the GMail/GContacts distinction will probably be lost. The reason this is annoying is because when I create a new friend contact from the phone I don't know which 'friends' group to add it to. Has anyone else noticed this? Checking my GContacts only shows one 'friends' group and one 'family 'group', but the way.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI can call people directly from my computer with GV (new Gmail integration), I'm really considering telling all my friends to use my new GV number. Right now some of them have my GV number but never call it, just my regular cell number. How did some of you make your friends use the GV number instead of your old one? Maybe I should just steal all their phones when they go to the bathroom or something and program it in myself? I'm wondering if it will add any extra charges through their cell plan. I picked a number that doesn't have an area code of where I actually live, it's actually a city about 4 hours away. That's the main thing I'm worried about, I don't want them to have to have any additional fees when they call/text my GV number.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy Outlook had 1 set of contacts, I manually put contacts into the Hero. Everything they synced, odd things could sometimes happen. The latest was about 45 minutes ago when Sync ate the picture of my wife. I decided that the problem HAD to be between Outlook and Hero's contacts. I had noticed during all of my other syncs that the Hero would overwrite the bad data in Outlook for me most times, so I made a very bold decision.I deleted all of my contact info from Outlook (I have now realized that "undo" does not work for this) I then plugged in my phone, and told it to sync, knowing that the Hero would put all of my contact info back in. Do you know what happens next? The HTC Sync manager ate all of my friends and family. Because I gave my wife my BB, I deleted all the contacts from it as well, so now, well, looks like i get to start a) attempting to remember everything, and b) entering it all again by hand.

But 2 other lines have upgrades (and the family is okay with me using one of them). The AT&T store was willing to do it that way, but will BB do that too?
