View 4 RepliesAny way a rooted inc owner can disable the joystick?
View 4 RepliesI've had the Moment for about 1 1/2 months. At times, it seems as though the joystick is "stuck" - it moves the cursor all around (sort of like the center mouse on a laptop). Sometimes it will move around the screen, move from one screen to another, move the cursor when typing, etc... It makes the phone unusable. I've looked in a bunch of forums and haven't seen anyone else complain. I normally have to remove the battery and boot it back up and everything starts to work again. I had a zag on it, but removed it thinking it might be the problem (it wasn't). The Sprint store was zero help (it didn't happen while there). Is there a way to disable the joystick? I'm tempted to just take the phone apart and remove it.

I noticed a hole where the joystick used to be.I called Verizon tech support last night and they are sending me a replacement phone which I should get on Monday. Has anyone else experienced this?

View 17 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure if this is just an issue with my dinc, but the joystick is too sensitive - to the point of being unusable. Every time I try to navigate screens, lists, or text in a message or web site address it acts as if I've pushed it no matter how light I touch it or move my finger across it. Is anyone else having this issue?
View 8 Replies View RelatedLet me preface this by saying that I just unrooted my phone and downgraded from Froyo, so I'm not interesting in rooting again if that's the only solution that you have.Is there a setting to adjust the speed at which the cursor (in text boxes, emails, sms, etc) scrolls through each letter? It seems the fast I move my finger across it, the slower it moves, but the slower I move my finger the faster in moves. Is there a setting I can adjust? I compare this to choosing how fast the cursor on your PC moves when you move your mouse.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIt used to be the market would separate apps that were approved for auto update from those that had disabled auto update set. One could then simply hit the Update All (for the group) button and it would update ONLY the apps that were auto update enabled. Over the past few months Play Store has changed their behavior in that it no longer separates the apps and will only enable auto updates for everything or nothing.
How can I hide or otherwise prevent these few apps that I do not want to update from being in the play store update list? As it is now, I have to selectively update each individual app from the list, skipping the few apps I do not want updated.
Currently on a Samsung GS3, rooted, stock.
I rooted my phone recently and installed the leaked 2.2 update.I ran Unrevoked as well as Unrevoked Forever, so I have S-OFF on my phone.I want to now put the official 2.2 release on my phone, while of course keeping my root.It would be best to keep my data on there, but if I have to run a Titanium backup and restore once it's installed, that's okay too.I just need to know the process to do this and where to get the update.I am running the leaked 2.2 Froyo update from May and I have the 2.05.00.06.11 radio.
View 12 Replies View RelatedThis app allows people to see your contact info in case you lose your phone. Seems like kind of a necessity if you're using the security lock. Otherwise how will people know how to find you?But before you set it up it says the app may cause a crash if you're on an HTC android phone. Question: Has anyone tried this one on the Eris? Do you have any other suggestions for a similar app?

There is shown a picture on notification bar even People app doesn't have any picture
I want my application to send emails.
The user can pick arecipient from the contacts.
Then I generate the body text of the email and send it to the email app ( using something like http://androidguys.com/?p=3100#comment-5168).
The email body looks something like :
------------------------- Hi {recipientname}!
Please click the following link :
[url]
If you click that like, you will live forever.
{sendername} ---------------------------------
"{recipientname}" is replaced by the name of the recipient that I get from the Contacts via Contacts.People.
For convenience, I'd like to replace "{sendername}" with the name of the sender, that means the name of the owner of the phone. (As stored in the email app, under Account Settings -> General Settings -> Your name) So, obviously that name is stored somewhere, ...
My question:
Is there any way to access this name via a content provider ? Or is there any other way to get a string (e.g. "John Doe" ) with the name of the owner/user of the device ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to get owner info on the lockscreen? For example, I'd like it to read "If found, please return this phone to MyName. Phone: xxx-xxx-xxxx, Email: MyName@gmail.com". Can this be done with the stock HTC lockscreen?Are there others that are as secure, but provide this extra functionality? I'm rooted, if that makes a difference.
View 18 Replies View RelatedI have a joystick with 6 axes an 2 buttons. If I connect that joystick to my device (nexus 7) through an otg cable it gets recognized as HID device.
The two buttons are both mapped by android to ENTER and the X + Y axes to direction keys. So it is already possible to control some UI sections (ie app icon selection on launcher).
I added a key layout map in "/system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_046d_Product_c626.kl" to customize the two buttons. I was also able to remap and invert all 6 axes.
Code:
# left / right
axis 0x00 RX
# forth / back
axis 0x01 RY
[Code] .....
As you can see I mapped the two buttons to the volume controls, which works fine. Unfortunately I'm not able to figure out how to map axes to keystrokes. As the X + Y axes are mapped to direction keys, there must be a setting somewhere for this. I would like to use all 6 axes and map them to simple keystrokes.
I'm considering to develop owner drawn EditText widget. So, what do you think I should read or refer, firstly? Or, could you give me some good examples of both owner drawn widget or custom widget?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm a VZW subscriber. I currently use a Storm 2 (HATE IT). I have been waiting... and waiting for the N1. I have a friend that works in the higher ups of VZW (not retail). I was just giving him shit the other day about the N1 situation. He said, "you should just get the Incredible it has slight better specs and the optical mouse.". I then told him my dislike for Sense UI. He said, "well then just root it".Would there be any difference between a rooted N1 and a rooted Incredible? Wouldn't they then have the exact same OS? (Provided I was going to flash it with Cyanogen). Thusly I would have the same phone with better specs, if I got the Inc over the N1. Is this flawed thinking? Since the N1 is Googles phone and gets updates first. When you root and flash with a diff ROM, do you then not get updates? I'm guessing you would be reliant on the updates to that ROM which ever MOD you choose.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy mom wanted an Android phone and decided to go with the Droid X. She really likes the phone so far, even though there is a bit of a learning curve. The problem that is frustrating us both is that in order to sign into Google's Android Market place you must enter/confirm your gmail account. We enter her account information, which is 100% correct, and then it brings us to a captcha box. I've entered about 30 different captcha's and each time it starts to connect to Google's servers and then brings us right back to another captcha. There will be clear captcha's and I will be very careful I'm entering the correct characters and then it will still not work.Does anyone have a solution to this? Should I chalk this up as a server problem and wait and try it again tomorrow?I understand this isn't necessarily a Droid X issue as it is an Android 2.2 issue.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got my Droid yesterday and so far I'm loving it! I just didn't like my old phone (Samsung Omnia) so decided to upgrade even though it would most likely require me to pay full retail as I'm not that near my contract anniversary and used my NET upgrade last year. I deliberated for a while about waiting for the Nexus One but after reading all the customer support issues with Google and HTC and the mysterious cracked screen issue I decided to go with the Droid. At least that way I know I can get my phone insured and I know I can get good support with a Verizon issued phone.
So I popped in to my local store yesterday expecting to shell out full retail and they gave me the 1-year renewel deal plus I got a little corporate discount from work AND a $100 rebate so ended up only having to pay $229 for the phone, so I was very pleased. That is until when I left the store and did the install for 2.0.1 and the phone wouldn't get past the boot animation. :P So back I went and she got a new one and it decided it only wanted to do setup in Spanish and wouldn't switch nor go past setup so out comes the third phone and all worked fine so now I'm a happy camper! So, now I need to know... what are the must-have applications for this phone? I'm reading through the apps forum for ideas but thought I'd ask here thinking it'd be quicker than poring over tons of posts.
