Does anyone else get annoyed by the bottom button backlights going out too quickly? Is there anyway to lengthen the time on that? It really is annoying to be surfing in the dark and not being able to see the menu button. Wish it was on the same timing as the main screen.

Is there any app/hack/widget to keep the backlights on the bottom buttons on just as long as the screen is backlit? So annoying how quickly they go off. Equally as annoying is how quickly the screen goes to sleep after you get a text. It literally stays on for 2 seconds, so I have to press the power button then slide/unlock to get to my text. Needs to be an option to keep it on for longer (10 seconds).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI know this is possible as the built in clock app and other apps are able to do it. How do you turn off the button backlights from code? These would be those like the softkeys on the bottom of the Nexus One screen.
Update: Found this, but it only works on Froyo: WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = getWindow().getAttributes();
lp.buttonBrightness = 0;
just wondering if there is a way to put a "Phone" button at the bottom of the screen (instead of the app dock) like there is on the Sense UI.I thought I saw something like this a few days back (phone button in center, app dock pushed to the left, something else on the right) but I cant find it again.

Is there a quick way to empty your email accounts trash bin for the Droid without going through every single email one by one?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have searched the Android store, and also searched these forums but maybe some more advanced Droid users can help me find an answer.
As with the iphone, inputting a new phone number within seconds is rather difficult on the Droid. That got me wondering if there were any third party apps or at least a way through the device OS that will let me quickly add a new contact. So far as I can tell the quickest way is to hit Phone--> input # --->option key---> add to contacts ---> Create new contact. That is 6 steps just to take someone's number! There's got to be a better way.
The problems I'm having:
- The battery is draining wicked fast.
- The phone is ridiculously hot like the radio is working overtime.
- And the screen is so sensitive that when swiping home screens the damn thing tries to go back, or skips a screen. In the browser if I scroll up or down with just one finger it tends to try to pinch zoom. And on the home screen when trying to press and hold an app it double clicks and opens it. The on screen keyboard many times just blips out when swyping trying to type one word and it ends up being 4-5.
So I tried turning the phone off and back on. No difference. Did the OTA update. No difference. I didn't even install any apps yet. But I did remove everything from my home screens to hopefully fix the battery life. No difference. I like the keyboard (miles ahead of the D1) and the fact swype comes stock, if it would only work correctly. Does every droid 2 have these problems? Are they all hot all the time? Are they all super sensitive? Are they all sucking battery at a phenomenal rate?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to port an existing iPhone application to android. I wish to have a button scroll into view at the bottom of a GridView to enable the user to load more data from the server. Presently, my solution simply fixes a button at the bottom of the screen instead of having it scroll into view.
Here is my layout code:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" >
<GridView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/grid"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:columnWidth="70dp" android:numColumns="auto_fit" android:verticalSpacing="0dp" android:horizontalSpacing="0dp" android:stretchMode="columnWidth" android:gravity="center" android:background="#000000" />
<Button android:id="@+id/load_more" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Load More" /> </LinearLayout>
Fixing the button at the bottom of the screen won't work because I plan on placing an ad at the bottom. Can anyone either explain conceptually how to get a load more button to scroll into view, or point me to some sample code, OR tell me why this is not idiomatic to Android and what other UI convention it uses to load more data in a GridView?
Probably silly question, but just wonder Why do we have 'Phone' button on the bottom of the screen while we have hardware button on the bottom left side?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a layout which does almost what I want. There's just one bug regarding the button at the bottom. I should stay at the bottom at all times. But whenever I bring up the soft-keyboard the button will be displayed above the keyboard. This is not what I want but it should become covered by the keyboard.Moreover, I'd be happy if you could comment on how the layout's built.

Notice how the bottom half of the words "Done" & "Clear" are clipped. This does not happen on the emulator or on the N1, Droid or G1. But, apparently is happening on the Xperia X10. Here's the layout for the buttons (background set programmatically):
<Button android:text="Done" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_margin="5dip" android:layout_width="60dip"
android:id="@+id/cancel" android:textStyle="bold"></Button>
I've just got my HTC Desire HD phone and have spent some time setting it up and personalizing homescreens, etc.
But now that I've done that I'd like to remove the 'personalize' button from the Sense bar at the bottom of the screen.
Is this possible? I have little use for it now and would rather it was an Internet button or something similar.
Has anyone worked out if it is possible to set one of the buttons on the bottom of the Desire to bring up the lock screen rather than using the power button at the top. Only just got the phone 3 days ago but this is (sor far) the only niggle I have.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to show a ScrollView with a button anchored to bottom of screen. This is coded programmatically (without using XML layout for now). The trouble is when the ScrollView has many items (requiring scrolling), it prevents the button at the bottom from showing. The bottom button is sort of pushed off the screen. Look at the code below. I have a TODO which mentions a workaround to specify the exact pixel height of the ScrollView, but this is not a good solution. If you change the for loop to add only 2 buttons, then the bottom button will show. So how do I make the ScrollView show a scrolling list, with the bottom button in view, and without specifying an exact size of the ScrollView? I've seen some discussions here:
