Exciting news! Apparently a friend of the guys at AllDroid.org has access to a Droid X Developer phone which may be crucial to unlocking the bootloader. They are currently collecting donations to obtain the phone.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've had my Moto Droid since just after the release and since rooting and ROMing in January, I'm really becoming more obsessed. Cyanogen has had a huge affect (for the better!) on my Android experience. Just curious what phone you guys think has the biggest developer community. (I'm obviously going with DROID ). I'd love to also hear the opinions of those with multiple Android phone experiences.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I first started publishing Android apps as an indie developer, I posted my phone number on the app's submission page, thinking it would not be listed publicly. When I found out that it was, I removed the number from the app listing. I don't have the resources to handle phone support, and much prefer to handle support via email. Besides, there is no requirement that we provide phone support, as long as we provide support in some way, correct? Anyway, these days I'm getting fewer phone calls, but I'm still getting calls. We are required to list a phone number in our developer profile, but it is stated that this is used for Google to contact us directly in case there are issues. So where are users still getting my phone number, and how can I make sure it's not listed?
View 3 Replies View RelatedJust recieved my dev phone today in the US. I have am AT&T sim card, but with no actual service with the card. I was wondering if their is a way to set up the apn or bypass it to use the phones built in wifi. Just wanna start testing my code and can't seem to get it working without having an actual service provided by AT&T.
Basic question is: Can I use the Dev phone with a sim card, implying that the sim card has no actual service.
I was just wondering. I was going to buy the DEV 2 but then i decided to just buy the Nexus One. I want to troubleshoot my apps but i don't want to buy old technology. as it is I am going to have to buy a new phone every 6 months to keep up with technology.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post and I am new to Android so excuse my ignorance if this is well documented and common knowledge. I have a stock ADP, firmware 1.0, no updates no mods and of course I want to get the latest features such as voice control, latitude etc, and so begins the fun. Why is there nothing official that can be easily found which states what is going on for people that own the ADP? I must have read dozens of articles showing update procedures and claiming to have leaked OFFICIAL developer updates and only recently did i find 2 thread that eventually end with something stating there is NO official update for developer phones yet.
I have 2 gripes about this:
1. Why no official and clear statement from the development team to clarify this before people start scrambling desperately to install leaked versions that are false? (I know I almost did) 2. Why as a developer do I have to wait for features that are already available to end users?

HTC - Developer Center
New source code for eris. What does this mean
I consider myself an Android developer, after having created four apps and learned a lot by creating them. Now I've begun my venture into the iPhone app development world, and I don't remember the Android learning curve being this extreme. It doesn't help, though, that I was very familiar with Java and Eclipse whereas I hardly even know how to use OS X. I learn fast and I know exactly what I want to make, I just need the means to get there. I'm really floundering with Xcode and the new project templates (of which there are several, and I hardly know what they mean). I know there are many books and things out there for starting from scratch but I feel like my Android knowledge should count for something. Is there a good resource for learning the basics of iPhone development, given that I am quite familiar with the Android platform? I'm looking for anything that converts Android knowledge to iPhone knowledge; a table of UI element names in each platform, or of concept equivalents, or a compare/contrast of the frameworks involved, or anything that will increase the rate of learning given that I know the Android platform already.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAbout the "latest" version of the Android platform vs. APIs and SDK. as far as I read in the Android web site the latest Android SDK is 2.2
I also have an HTC developer Phone, and when I go to the htc to update its firmware and Android Image (from page: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html); I found that the latest radio and recovery images are for Android 1.6
what does it mean?
1. Do I have to wait until platform 2.2 is released for HTC Dev Phone?
2. or if I have the latest 1.6 images instaled on my device it will run whatever I build using SDK 2.2.
Using this library, ZXing, we have a project at school in which we'll implement a inventory system using Android phones.
We aim to use an Android phone to be a inexpensive replacement to this:
I've read some of the warnings on the FAQ for certain phones. Is there a specific phone that Android developers prefer (with use of the ZXing library in mind)? We have to buy the phone ourselves, so we would prefer not to buy the wrong phone!
I am trying to downgrade Android developer phone 1's firmware version from 1.6. to 1.5 by following this link.
http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
Here I have completed till steps #7 of Update the Device Radio Firmware. While in steps 8. It start to load update.zip file. It analyze the update.zip file. and at last it shows that update Aborted. I have followed exact all steps mentioned in that list.
I didn't see an announcement on this list, and while I own a G1,I know many developers asked for this, so "a 1.1 version of Android for the Android Dev Phone":

I know you can get a developer phone but the new G2 looks pretty nice as well as the Samsung around the corner. I would assume however that it would be a better idea to be using a consumer phone if they are the target market for apps you wish to produce, especially for testing purposes. Has anyone else had experience from this choice and provide any further illumination to the issue?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to hire a developer for a small project. It involves searching and sending a request to my server which will return results in XML format. The app will have to display the results. Then based on that, the user will click on of the results and the app will send another request to the server and return the last bit of data. So basically a GUI that requests and displays data. My server does all the work, basically. I have designed a GUI with photo shop from pre-existing screen shots, so the developer just needs to emulate what I've drafted up.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThey are at the final battle. It looks like we might have a fight on our hands since the Palm Pre just got the free hot-spot options from Verizon. March Smart Phone Madness Finals: Motorola Droid vs. Palm Pre Plus
The main points that I like to enjoy is: Droid beat out the phone that beat the iPhone, and the Droid got further in the brackets than any other Android OS phone Some of the progress is due to hardware, some due to following (over the Nexus'), but a lot due to the v2.01 (and now 2.1) version of the Android OS. Also, this poll is open ALL weekend - it does not close until April 5th, so we have tons of time...but then again, so does the Palm Pre. Let's have at 'em!
It's $400 and out of stock. There are Chinese Android 'phones on eBay for less than $100 - can I just use one of them for development? The answer is probably yes, so I guess that what I am asking is if the official HDK makes life (significantly) easier for me.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe were in a bit of a rush to publish our app at first, and my associate absentmindedly created a developer account under his personal google account. Naturally, he doesn't want anyone else to have access to his google account, but it means only he can access the developer account. The only problem here is we have an app published with a few hundred users. What I'd like to know is how to migrate the management of that app over to a different android development account. I know one can't change the association between developer account and google account, that's not what I'm asking about. I'd just like to preserve the app feedback that already exists, and not alienate any of the current users. Anybody know what I can do?
