Well after almost one month of frustration with this phone disconnecting my call while talking.because of the screen touching my face. I finally have a solution Hurray.simple when call arrives hit the power button Once. the screen will go black and lock. and you can move all over the screen with touching etc and the call continues when you are ending the call just hit the power button again and everything goes live again on the screen to conclude the call. I was to almost ready to go back to my old phone just to be able to talk on the PHONE.

Seems like since 2.1 my Droid runs hot when doing extended surfing or using the car dock. It gets very hot in the car dock (with GPS and navigation running). Combine that with the heat effects of the sun and the Droid gets very hot. Any one else notice this? Seems like this would be bad for both the Droid and the Droid battery. Normal?

If you take out your battery, then plug in your Droid to the charger it turns on. I've always thought phones should do this, but I've never had one that did until now.It acts normal, as in still connects to data and voice, etc. I can't really see how this is too beneficial, but thinking back on the days of a blackberry, when those things' battery died the phone's data and voice would not turn on with or without the battery until about 20 minutes of charging.

Well to start things off, I had my iPod touch 1st gen. stolen out of my car, and finding out that the cable I use to play music over my Alpine headunit will not work with my newly acquired iPod touch 2nd gen. has prompted me to look into other ways to have all my music with me in my car as well as be able to play it over my stereo.I found this lovely little A2DP receiver online very cheap:All in all, this has cost me less than an iPod cable that would work with the newer iPod I have, and makes everything much simpler, reducing the number of devices I carry. Hopefully this helps someone, I am curious to see what the audio quality for A2DP is while streaming music from the DROID,

I remain baffled that we can have a device so advanced as the Droid in our hands yet Google has yet to release an easy way for us to sync our Microsoft Outlook contacts.I am in NO way affiliated with this guy, but I think I've found the best/easiest way for those of us that rely on Outlook for our contacts and calendars to stay in sync. Checkout gSyncit.Yes, it's $15. But for that price, you get an integrated solution to Microsoft Outlook that will sync your contacts and calendar to you gmail account. So even if you don't have a gmail account for your email...setup a dummy account and set gSyncit to sync your contacts/calendar to it. Then just setup your Android device to sync with the same account. In the end, you basically end up with a free push system that will always keep your desktop and Android device wirelessly synced.There are several other free sync solutions out there...but I've found most of them to be rather abysmal in their consistency and usability. In addition, gSyncit will sync contact pictures.

I was wondering if the users of the droid also have this problem experienced by users of the milestone:
Music hiccups when network coverage changes
If so, please star the following google code issue so it will get attention from developpers:
Issue 6757 - android - Music hiccups when there are ANY changes in network - Project Hosting on Google Code

Being a long time OUTLOOK user on my Windows PC, I am use to my previous smartphone syncing these items with my phone. As of now, I see there is a google sync app, but unfortunately this doesn't work with the latest Office 2010 Public Beta. I have yet to hear of a time frame when support will be announced. So it looks like I am no solution running Outlook 2010 any syncing anything to my phone.
What are users on here doing for a desktop to droid sync for your TODO/Calendar, etc? I like Google Calendar, just don't like having to open a web browser on my pc to access my calendar.

I have noticed that the green 'online' status indicator in Talk doesn't update on my phone when someone signs off, it stays green for them. They show as offline on my PC but continue to show online on the Droid. If I sign out and back in to Talk on the phone it will update their status, but otherwise not. I've tried closing chat but that doesn't seem to work, I don't see anything in settings that would affect it either. Any ideas?
I'm the only one using Android, my other contacts are all using Talk online (not with a phone) if that makes a difference.

When i cancel out, the phone moves super slow until I do a battery pull.I also can not enable 4g because it makes my EVO run super slow basically horrible.This is with 2.2.

Does anyone know of, or have implemented, a physics engine which runs smoothly in Android? I have spent the last couple of days trying Phys2D and JBox2D, however both perform very poorly - I am struggling to get even a few objects to simulate smoothly as frequent garbage collection spoils it. One question I do have is will these run smoother on an actual G1 device or is the performance of the emulator accurate?

My game runs fairly well on my phone, but i want to increase the performance by using opengl. However currently i use the Canvas. I am a beginner in opengl. I have to port all my drawing code to opengl. However can somebody give me directions. For example how do i do the following in opengl:
c.save();c.scale(0.3f+scale, 0.3f+scale, width/2, height/2) c.drawBitmap( bMsg.bitmap, width/2 - bMsg.bitmap.getWidth()/2,dy+height/2 - bMsg.bitmap.getHeight()/2, MESSAGE_PAINT);c.restore();
And why cant i just use Canvas as an abstraction layer (facade) for opengl. An implementation of canvas could call the correct opengl methods in order to render. Why do i have to port all my code. I thought the canvas was a good abstraction interface to a drawing surface, why do i have to bother with opengl? It looks like this is possible, when is see the following contructor: "public Canvas (GL gl)" Also the this seems usefull. SURFACE_TYPE_GPU Surface type: creates a surface suited to be used with the GPU So what should i do? Re implementing the GamePainter completely and call opengl functions directly? Or is there some kind of abstraction mechanism, so that i can use OpenGL with just a few lines of code?

I was using the plus version of LP, but it seemed to run pretty slow on my phone. Usually with menu selections (aka widget selection, or app selection when long pressing on the screen). The widgets also didn't update properly etc.I'm curious though is it might of been some advanced settings that I didn't play with. I typically just did an install setup my dock and homescreen, but never touched the advanced settings.Does anyone have some advanced settings they could share? Also my phone isn't rooted, would that cause all the lag with it? Cause honestly TW runs fine.

Does anyone know if there is a way to identify (in code, not LogCat) when the GC has run? Perhaps an intent is fired? I could analyze the LogCat output, but it would be ideal if I could determine when the GC has run from my code.

I recently bought the case-mate tough case for my nexus one. I noticed after putting the case on it has gotten hotter. It has reached up to 110F not plugged in to anything. Has anyone had this problem? Is it the case that is not letting it cool off? Or is this a problem with the phone itself?

I am using Nex ROM and all of the sudden SetCPU says no root, Titanium backup gave me busybox error - and one other app gave me an issue too.
What gives? I made no changes in the past couple days - I want to try another ROM tonight, but I need to verify root and fix if needed before I waste my time.

I would like to add a chat feature to my application, which runs on both iphone and android platform.
Do you have any idea on how to make this ?
I have seen that tutorial : http://mobileorchard.com/tutorial-networking-and-bonjour-on-iphone/, but I don't know if it will work using the android NDK
I have also think about writing the architecture client/server in C but I'm not sure if it's the good solution ..
Do you have any idea ?

This little web page runs fine on my desktop but when selecting the area with a G-1 Android device (select box that says statewide..) the data refreshed with the requested data in the table but the text in the select box does not change,,, the other select boxes (month and year) work fine.. Fwiw the data is still rough and so is the gadget...
I've rebooted and restarted the g-1 to no avail..
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4303088/gadgetdraftok.html
The broader question, i guess, here is how to debug a web page on any android browser? we don't have a firebug equivalent..
Further I confirmed the same bug in the Moto Cliq browser (also old still a 1.5) very strange every once in a while the G-1 operates correctly, but I can't figure out how to get it to do it, just that every once in a while the select shows in the window when selected and the data refreshes..
I have verified that this seems to be a verified bug in the early browsers... so now I'm trying to figure a work around, I added setFocus on the select box but it is ignored on the Android G-1
*New info*
I actually used this test tool from W3schools try-it site and it demonstrates the non-behavior in just a few lines..
http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_focus i.e. it works fine on desktop but does not give focus when on phone.. anyone have a work around idea? ( I figured setFocus would be my silver bullet but sadly no)
I have three select boxes on the app so I need to display the selected info...as the selection is served.. not just initialization. FWIW the behavior seems to be on select boxes that have the selection dynamically loaded,, when I finish all three boxes will need dynamic loading now only the area box is dynamic, year/month are coded and so work.

A couple of days ago I posted a question on what you guys did so that you could still receive emergency calls at night without the phone disturbing you letting you know you got a spam email at 3am.Several of you mentioned that I could go and change my notification volume, but doing that every night was too much work and I was bound to forget or silence my calls and forget to turn it back on in the morning.I found this wonderful FREE app called Sweet dreams. You set the time at which you go to sleep and it has several options such as disabling gps, wifi, bluetooth and putting your ringer and notification volume at whatever you want.You set the wakeup time as well so the phone turns things back on for you in the morning.

What do we do now.. i cannot charge my phone which means i cannot talk on my phone because the port on my evo 4g at which i am to use to plug my charger into, is broken. after looking into this issue on the internet, i have learned that this is not an uncommon issue but that this is a very common issue amoung evo users... i absolutely love this phone, however i am very let down and discouraged to have developed this problem and i am hoping that there is an easy solution... i would hate to have to be any more irritated than i already have become.

I cant use my Moment without my Bluetooth... any time I try to talk on it, my ear or hair hangs up the phone or puts it on speaker or turns on some other app. I think I read here that they were working on a way to lock the screen when talking? Has that happened? This is crazy.. Ive been trying to hold the phone away from my ear but I still have problems.

I have been using a HTC Hero with all the tweaks etc on it. Now I bought a samsung Galaxy S from Dubai a few days ago. I was very disappointed to find that the android market is missing and the slide market is no match for it. Is there a solution for it? i presume rooting and the flashing a new rom might do the trick but is there a site with proper rooting instructions where they dont say do this step (d) without explaining steps(a,b &c). Without the market I would throw away the galaxy.

My Acer Liquid E keeps Muting every time I answer a call. Its odd because its not disconnecting at all and I can hear the caller perfect. Sometime if I hit the mute, speaker phone, or hold buttons a view times it starts to work normal. All outgoing calls are perfect. Hopefully I can narrow it down to either a phone defect or a OS issue that just needs an update. Has anyone else had this issue?
Firmware version:2.1-update1
