View 5 RepliesUnless you want to pay $29.95 for a dock to rest your phone in while it charges, you can get all of the features with out the dock. Just install the Dockrunner app in the market. Its free. It will give you the alarm clock, weather report and options to play music, and slide show. Once you activate that screen it will lock you out from everything else on the phone. So you go to your Notifications panel and select Dockrunner again to deactivate it and it will send you back to your home screen again.

View 12 Replies View RelatedUPS just dropped off my Droid. Just plugged it in & it's charging for the 1st time. I haven't gone thru the initial setup or anything yet, because I've read that it needs to charge for 3 hrs before you do anything with it? Is this true?I need to call in the serial # for activation, but haven't yet. Is it cool to go ahead w/ the initial setup even though it's not fully charged up yet? Or will the battery be adversely affected? I'm wondering if some of the people complaining about battery life didn't let it charge fully before starting to play with it, as is recommended in the User's Manual.

Rumor is that re-installing the APK file will fix it, but there is none to be had on the web. Anyone have the APK file for dolphin? It needs to be 1.2.99 (or later) because the package name was changed in that version.

I modifed the attached G-MoN version to run also on cdma phones. Please try it. If there are still crashes, please send me a logcat copy if possible. G-MoN is a wardriving scanner.

I was wondering if anyone had any tutorials to get me going. something similar to an alarm that goes off on 2 different occasions on specific dates, these dates and times should be obtained from a csv file or something similar so that i can control when and at what time the alarm goes off.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a huge filofax thing, which I would like to ditch from my bag, and wondered if I could turn my phone into something more suitable. I have jorte calendar, but I do find it annoying that you can't read what's in the box, as even the smallest font is too big. Any ideas on a better calendar. I would also like somewhere to store my addresses, and a password locked notepad. I often use a note pad to jot down passwords & username etc. Any suggestions would be great, free or not i dont mind!
View 6 Replies View RelatedI really like the built-in calendar app on my new HTC Desire. But there's 3 things that it can't do, and I really need them:
1. I need to be able to set up how the calendar calculates week numbers. I live in Demark and in Europe we don't calculate week numbers the sane way as they do in the US.
2. I need to be able to set up repeated appointments that repeat every second week, or every third day.
3. I really want to be able to set the default reminder time to 'Do NOT remind me'. The built-in calendar app lets me set the reminder value to 'No remind' when I create a new event, but it won't let me set the default value to 'No remind'.So basically I need a calendar app that works precisely like the built-in one, apart from the 3 things mentioned above
I rooted and now have Amon's recovery on my phone. I downloaded SetCpu and ran it but it will only let me overclock to 528 max. What steps do I need to do so I can overclock in the 700's like everyone else.
View 16 Replies View RelatedI've read around alot about people saying task killers aren't needed because Android is Linux based (not windows) and can handle all the apps in the background so theres not need for a task killer. My question is arent there apps or services that take up alot of memory and shouldn't be constantly running (without you knowing that is) For example there are apps that constantly update (recieve data) like Mail or twitter or Anti-virus (which constantly is on the guard for new apps or settings being changed). I also noticed that after taking pictures with my phone camera it said the camera was running when i already closed it. i checked running services under the settings and the camera was taking 74% of my usage (i did refresh many times to make sure it was running). I've came to the conclusion that task killer is good for a few apps that are constantly running in the background but not as much for apps that don't constantly run in the background (like games, after you close them)

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe problem is, I have a bunch of apps I rarely use but still like to keep around just in case. I use AppMonster now to backup certain apps like this, but is there a way to let's say, add shortcuts to uninstalled apps to the homescreen, and when you click them it installs them, and uninstalls them again once the app closes?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working on some sort of record lookup for a database. My code allows to search for some kind of string within an index (of that database) and returns the database-position of the found thing . With this found position my program is then able to move to adjacent records from the database moving forward and backwards from the initial position in small steps. ListView seems to not work in this case, as ListView starts per default at ListAdapter position 0 and not at an arbitrary position in the (here virtual) list. The api-docs doesn't seem to specify some sort of "start somewhere else and follow during scrolling". At least I haven't found that. So what I thought of is to use a ScrollView. Unfortunately I don't have a real understanding of how that could be realized with a huge number of records (and not just a handfull like in the examples). So, my questions are: - Is it possible to start a ListView at some defined position (without reimplementing {Abs}ListView) - Or can someone provide an example on how to implement a more complex ScrollView.

I've had my phone for about a month now and the battery as been OK.it would last me most of the day running a few apps and a lot notification apps.I would charge it over night and it would last about 12 hours which is fine by me.Now it is draining so quick it only last maybe 4 hours at the most. i have tried all the suggestion about the standard but message app and replacing it with handcent or chomp but the awake mode is still 100%.i can not get it to go in to sleep mode.i had it on charge all night for about 10 hours and only charged 50%.I also tried using factory reset and then installing 3rd party message app and that didn't help.I'm lost on what to try next. while trying everything i would reboot in between steps. im still on android 1.5 with build 2.73.110.26. its a tmobile phone using a o2 Sim and a rebel Sim. any suggestion would be great.

It would be great to long press on any number in the dialer and dial a selected number. By the way, I'm sure you've noticed if you select a number on the dialer, then press # a contact number on your SIM card appears. Not sure what the hell they were thinking of with that one...

2.Last few days I was having difficulty accessing my wifi via my Nexus.It would work, then it wouldnt, then it would.It "connects" gets an ip address, but I can't access anything.
3.Examining my old router (801.1b!) I accidentally snapped the aerial.I thought maybe it was partly broken anyway, causing the problem, so I bought a new router. (DLINK DIR-615)
4.Had to delete old connection on Nexus as it was WEP, this uses WAP.
5.At first,it appeared to work,then it wouldnt, then it would, then it wouldn't.It "connects" gets an ip address, but I can't access anything.
6. Today, I tried using my N800, and it works fine on the same desk as my Nexus, which doesn't. Just a few feet from the router.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI would need a fast updating (minimum 5 frames/second) appwidget which can be on the desktop all the time (like the cpu usage or other things mostly measurement gauges).The appwidget is not a "must" but I've found it easy to configure for any customer so the management is easy and I need those gauges to be shown like an appwidget on the desktop.The only problem is the update speed - I've seen that appwidget is not really thought for my needs. In my case it's not about phones, the small unit will always have power supply so draining the battery is not an issue. I could tweak the 30 minute update time but it doesn't helps too much - the appwidget framework is simply too slow with all that serialization and would eat too much CPU. What other solutions can be used? I've seen that a system service (LoadAverageService for example) would do the job but that one is not really configurable, has to be compiled into Android so I kinda don't like it. The same is valid with custom app screens or any other solution which needs an custom Android build. So this is a last solution if nothing else works.
A good solution could be if the Appwidget framework would accept other views than the enlisted ones (AnalogClock, Button, Imageview, etc.) and the update would be done internally in the widget, not through the appwidget serialization chanels.
