HTC Tattoo :: Is Lower Resolution / Screen Really Such Pain For Apps In Market
Mar 21, 2010
I'm considering changing my phone (quite old Motorola) with something from the 21 century..While looking for one (HTC), I found, that only Tattoo can fit in my budget.There are, however, couple of question I'd like to ask:
Does Tattoo support offline GPS navigation (and if so - can you, please, suggest a app for this). Most of what google has to say about this is related to Google maps (obviously), but it looks like this can't be done there. And i really don't see the point having a GPS antenna that requires Wi-fi/data connection in additionIs the lower resolution / screen really such a pain for the apps in the market. Are there any problems with the all-day apps, that one needs?I might have a chance to buy a second hand Iphone 3g 16 for 40-50 euro higher price. Can you advise what's the better choice? I'm not sure about the condition of the iphone, but lets say it has only cosmetic problems, which doesn't bother me.

I have a program that should work on Android 1.5, but when it's run on newer devices with higher resolution screens, it should support the full resolution and not emulate a lower resolution screen. As far as I can tell from the documentation, this should be simple.
I just specify
code:.........
The problem is that if I tell Eclipse to compile for 1.5, it refuses to accept this. It reports an error (targetSdkVersion is an unknown tag) and refuses to compile or run. If I tell it to compile for 1.6 it works fine, of course. But if I then try to install on a 1.5 AVD, the program immediately crashes with a java.lang.VerifyError. I'm clearly missing something simple. How do I get it to compile an apk that works under 1.5, but still includes the targetSdkVersion tag?

In general,can we change some properties to make a given app run on a lower than native resolution?I think it should be totally possible,since phone come in various aspect ratios and resolutions.So the app detects the screen and resolution,and adopts accordingly.Gensoid does that in-app.Double,original size,strech,etc....
For instance,if we have a game on a 1920x1080 screen,but the GPU struggles to keep the framerate,we lower it to 960x540,the game still looks fine,because we get 1:2 resolution,and far fewer pixels to push.I think there should be an app for that.

Really sorry for all the screenshots. I own a Nexus One and Dell Streak and one thing that I find disappointing is that some apps don't run at the native resolution on the Nexus which makes things look blurry compared to my Streak. Examples: (all screenshots taken with the Android SDK) Now, I understand that the PenTile display will have an effect on image quality Vs my Streak but why does the N1 seem to be rendering things in a lower resolution compared to my Streak?

I own a galaxy nexus and the performance of a few HD games are under my expectations, even with a bus overclocked kernel! (i've tried many, to no use )
Is there is a way to force selected apps to run at a lower screen resolution? say 540x960? i don't mind if it doesn't run in full screen, i just prefer a constant 60FPS over a few extra details!

I'm thinking of buying a HTC Tatoo for my wife as it only costs 80 Eur in our Country ( have to renew the contract anyway ) and i have a question about the resolution and the memory.
Is it true, that most of the apps from the market don't work well or dont work at all, because of the lower resolution than normal android phones ( 240x320 vs. 320x480 ) ???
This seems a big issue to me, and im surely not gonna buy the phone if this is true.
As i own a Samsung Galaxy with 192Mb RAM i know that memory is a big problem on Android phones and am wondering how much memory does the tatoo actualy have, considering different info on different sites? Does it have 256 Mb of memory and does it work well?
How is the phone performing overall, what are the main pro's and con's?, a question for the current users

Yesterday I took a video with the front camera. I recorded with the front camera for 7 minutes and it took almost 1GB of size. So, is there an app that can record videos with lower resolution but not too blurry? GT-I9505

I'm using my SGS to take photos at max resolution (5MB), the average file size is 1.5MB. I want an app that will resize the photo to a lower resolution (640 X 480) so that the file size is small enough to send it easily through email (over GPRS conn). Can someone recommend a app that can do this, preferably free? Right now, I transfer the pics to my PC & use Picasa to export the photos with a lower resolution.

my newly bought Tattoo became unbootable a few days ago.It worked perfectly fine two days ago, then it started to randomly reboot itself, but after that, it became completely unbootable, as in, it was stuck at the "TATTOO" screen. The phone internals are completely untouched, no custom images, not rooted, no nothing, it's factory fresh.The battery is full too, and I didn't install anything that could possibly have corrupted the bootloader (or whatever is failing to load).I already tried to wipe the user data _TWICE_ (using HOME + BACK + POWER) with no success. I'm also perfectly able to get into HBOOT (using VOLDOWN + MENU + POWER), and connect via usb (using "FASTBOOT USB" from HBOOT). However, I can't completely wipe the cache with fastboot.exe from the android-sdk, since it doesn't allow it: "erasing 'cache'... FAILED (remote: not allow)".

I have been emailing the people at copilot asking when they will get it on the market. Finally go to the development team and explained about the screen size on the Tattoo and they need to "sign" the file as compatible. They emailed back saying they have found the settings and will submit a new copy to Google soon

I have an app on the market that requires sdk 2.0. I want to rewrite and publish it using 1.6 to find a wider audience.
The question is: if I update my already published app with an sdk downgrade to 1.6 will it then show up to users with phones at 1.6? I know currently the market search shows my app only to those that have 2.0 phones.

I am thinking about getting a tablet instead of a netbook (Eken M001 has 1.6) which i need for mostly working out my routes in the morning since I work for a delivery company. Right now I have to come home to use autoroute on my PC but this takes me an hour to get home and back again taking an hour out of my journey so a tablet would be a perfect alternative. I live in the UK so need an autorouter for me that works offline. Does any such app exist or should I get a netbook?
Basically I just need to enter a bunch of postcodes and it tell me the quickest order in which to goto them to save time in my day but going home to get them is kinda against the whole point of saving time.

Why do some apps fail when sideloading them onto some lower end tablets? I back them up from my phone using astro and try to install it on a viewsonic G-tablet or a Nextbook tablet and the installation fails. They're perfectly good backups. How come it's not supported?

And the gold toggle thingy is USELESS when trying to click on an icon. Is there a way to lower the sensitivity of the screen or the toggle? In a. Normal 20 minute browsing session I have to hit back at LEAST 10 times due to ever so slightly mis-touches.

I am not sure if anyone else has noticed this, I have searched around a bit so sorry if this has been covered before but this is my second Droid X to do this. When I lock the screen, my signal strength goes from 3-4 bars down to 1 bar after a few minutes. When I quickly tap the home button, but do NOT unlock the screen I can see that there is only 1 bar, and even sometimes the 3G icon is gone, (i.e. no data is transmitting, but I am getting a cell signal). Once I unlock the screen, I immediately will see the bars jump to either 3-4, depending on my location, and/or the 3G will pop back up (if it was missing in the first place).
My conclusions about this are that this is a reason why some devices crush the battery life and others don't. And, there is an issue with the phone hardware/software radio communications. If when the screen is locked it is losing signal and constantly going back and forth between 1x/3g/no data, that would explain why some people are having their battery dead within 5-6 hours. This phenomena is occurring on my second Droid X. I have yet to notify Motorola formally, other than through Verizon, but I wanted to see if anyone else out there is experiencing the same issues. Mind you, it is sometimes sporadic and others very consistent! There are times when the phone will be very hot in my pocket, and I suspect this is the reason. I know how to back out of applications and i can confirm that I do not have any running in the background that are sucking data.
Please keep in mind, I experience this with and without task killers and I live 5 minutes from Downtown Minneapolis where coverage is excellent. I also do not use Juice Defender or any other battery management program which may cut data when the screen is locked.

I'm shopping for a cheap used droid for verizon and think I have it narrowed down to the eris or droid 1. I really like the eris for the price, however the droid has a lot of perks too like bigger higher res screen, more modern cpu, and improved battery life. I plan to root either device. What do you guys think, will I be disappointed with an eris? Is the smaller lower res screen bad for browsing? Can I expect to leave the wifi radio on all day for voip without too much in the way of battery life problems?

I have tried a while ago to use these values to be able to have 2 different builds to cover all resolutions on Android Market: <supports-creens android:smallScreens="false" android:normalScreens="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:anyDensity="true" /> Unfortunately it did not worked. Although it is recommended to have one big application for all resolutions sometime it is not possible due to some time and resources constraints. The goal is to have 2 different applications Game and Game HD on the market and Game to be visible only for 240x320/320x480 devices and Game HD to be visible for 480x800 devices.

I returned my HTC hero after a week because it had a dead pixel, but I also noticed dust under the lower portion of the screen right above the buttons on bottom. I use a otterbox commuter case while has covers for the dock and head phone jack, so Im assuming the dust came in between the buttons and the bottom of the screen.

How to activate a HTC Magic (Sapphire).

When I want to activate the APN settings should appears in the lower part of the screen but it is not. I tried other method of activation - from G1: to press menu buttton after second google user and pass input entered - for apn field appears. No succes this time too.
Any idee how to activate ?

When I access the Android Market (Android Market), I get the same message that I get when accessing it via my PC i.e. "For a comprehensive, up-to-date list of the thousands of titles that are available, you will need to view Android Market on a handset." How do I get the Market to "see" I am using a phone?
