There is a real good thread that includes instructions along with verified downloading sights that for the regular Droid (does not require rooting and can be done over the air or through a pc). Is there available now, a similar solution for the Droid X?

I have looked through all the settings that I could find and I have not been able to find the setting to disable call waiting. Does anyone know how to do that? Is it even possible? I personally prefer to have call waiting off. I do not want incoming calls bothering me if I'm already on the phone.

I am having rare stability issues with Flyx / Tranquility on 2.3.9. I never went past this update/combination.
Im thinking if going to 2.2 OTA and rooting seeing as though it seems like no work is being done on cracking the stock bootloader. I know it is, but we haven't gotten any info from anyone lately. What are you guys doing?
Is anyone else having this issue? Ever since the OTA update yesterday, if I am on the phone and another call comes in, at that very moment, the current call I am on gets disconnected and I have to click either "answer" or "reject" button. Its like the WAITING part of call waiting doesn't work anymore. like the phone can only handle 1 call at a time. I've tried rebooting but dont know what else to try.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently learning about widgets in Android.I want to create a WIFI widget that will display the SSID, the RSSI (Signal) level.But I also want to be able to send it data from a service I am running that calculates the Quality of Sound over wifi.Here is what I have after some reading and a quick tutorial:public class WlanWidget extends AppWidgetProvider{
RemoteViews remoteViews;
AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager;
ComponentName thisWidget;
WifiManager wifiManager;
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
int[] appWidgetIds) {
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new WlanTimer(context, appWidgetManager), 1, 10000);
private class WlanTimer extends TimerTask{
remoteViews remoteViews;
AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager;
ComponentName thisWidget;
public WlanTimer(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager) {
this.appWidgetManager = appWidgetManager;
remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
thisWidget = new ComponentName(context, WlanWidget.class);
wifiManager = (WifiManager)context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
@Override
public void run() {
remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.widget_textview,
wifiManager.getConnectionInfo().getSSID());
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(thisWidget, remoteViews);
}The above seems to work ok, it updates the SSID on the widget every 10 seconds.However what is the most efficent way to get the information from my service that will be already running to update periodically on my widget?Also is there a better approach to updating the the widget rather than using a timer and timertask? (Avoid polling)UPDATE As per Karan's suggestion I have added the following code in my Service: RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
ComponentName thisWidget = new ComponentName( context, WlanWidget.class );
remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.widget_QCLevel, " " + qcPercentage);
AppWidgetManager.getInstance( context ).updateAppWidget( thisWidget, remoteViews );This gets run everytime the RSSI level changes but it still never updates the TextView on my widget, any ideas why?
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ CES Monsoon Multimedia, a leader in video convergence technologies and maker of the popular HAVA place-shifting products, today announced Volcano, its next generation home video convergence device. Volcano incorporates major features of TiVo (time shifting), Slingbox/HAVA (place shifting), Roku (Internet video such as Netflix movies) and new functionalities that support streaming and recording video to smartphones, all in one box. Volcano supports all major smartphone and computer operating systems such as Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Windows and Mac.Volcano allows consumers to schedule and record any of their familiar TV channels remotely from a smartphone to the Volcano's hard-drive and watch the video at the same time or transfer the stored content to a smartphone for later viewing. This can be accomplished through a 3G or Wi-Fi connection from anywhere in the world including airplanes, cars, trains, offices or hotel rooms. Unique, integrated players and EPGs (Electronic Programming Guides) can be downloaded by Volcano users on to any of the popular smartphones or their Windows/Mac computers.
Smartphone users on average can download 128 hours of video or 84 movies of 90 minutes duration on to their phones thanks to Monsoon's powerful video compression technology. Computer users can download considerably more content on to their hard-drives. A full-length movie can be downloaded on to a smartphone in minutes using a broadband connection. Smartphone users also have the option of viewing any program live without recording it.With the included hard-drive and a remote control, Volcano can also be used as a TiVo DVR at home. Slingbox/HAVA features included in Volcano enable consumers at home or in remote locations to watch their TV programs live on their smartphones or computers. Volcano is connected to the analog output of a set-top box. At 150kbps uplink speed and by using Monsoon's new technology deploying H.264 compression, Volcano now allows consumers with lower uplink bandwidth to stream video to the Internet and view the video in high quality in remote locations.
I'm currently debating whether I should wait for my carrier (Telus) to provide the Froyo update OTA, or use a downloaded ROM. I'm more or less clear on the advantages/DISadvantages of using a downloaded RUU. I'm less clear on the advantages of waiting for Telus to offer it. I recently got the HTC Desire, and the Telus update could be as late as November. I would really like to install Froyo NOW, because once I start using the phone more and entering contacts and agendas and all of that, I don't want to have to redo all the work I did configuring the phone. Waiting for Telus OTA UPDATE:
* I get the update NOW, and I can get on with my life.
* No risk bricking the phone (biggest thing holding me back!)
* No need to waste an entire SD card, just to keep a backup of the Goldcard image in case of later updates
* I LOSE my 1-year warranty with Telus on the phone if its been hacked (UNLESS I can save version 2.1 and flash it back to that??)
just would like flotv or mobitv, but no luck so far. all I can find is tv.com and it has nothing for the kids to watch on long trips. anyone heard anything yet?

If they wait too long they are going to have to compete with Navigon and Google's own navigation software. I've personally used iGo Nav N Go on my HTC Eris and like it a lot.(Don't ask for links or how to.) I'm willing to purchase it when it's released.
View 9 Replies View Related- Trying the leaked 2.1
- I'm waiting for the official release.
Being that i have the original droid and its not a year old, i think im just going to wait to get a new phone. Rooting has already taken the droid to 1ghz and beyond, plus froyo is available too. Verzion will be redoing their network soon, so that means many phones will be useless. I really would like to tryout the droid x, but the only way for me to get it is to pay outright or buy it off of ebay. The droid 2 will be coming out soon, but the specs on it are kinda shady right now. These are just my thoughts. What are yours?
View 33 Replies View RelatedThis is a stupid question, but I never had it right on any phone. I can figure out complex things, but When I answer a call waiting, how do I switch back and forth between the original conversation? Do I press send? Is there any way to conference other than Google Voice?

View 3 Replies View RelatedRunning on a Droid 4 with no mods. Email is a POP3 based account.
Are there any apps out there that will show on the email icon that messages are waiting? Right now, all I am getting is the update in the top status/notification bar. If I clear that bar out, I have 0 notification without going into the actual client. BB would show a red * on the icon, and iPhones show a red circle with a number in it on the mail icon. I'm looking for something similar on the droid.
I have this really annoying problem that I've seen mentioned here but I can't find a specific thread on the subject. This first started happening after the December update. When I push the end button to "turn on" the phone (i.e., wake the phone up), I get a black screen with the HTC symbol monentarily. Then, once that goes away, my background appears but nothing else except the waiting icon. I've been told that this is a conflict between something I have installed and the Sense UI.
View 29 Replies View RelatedI've got a quick question.
My friend bricked his DX with the Deodexing or whatever. After an sbf flash..
Can we update to 2.2 via update.zip in recovery, install rom manager, and then install MY backup on his phone? I'm currently uploading them to file hosting, and wondering if this would work.
If so, will he be fully rooted, deodexed, and themed(I'm rocking the xtreme 2.2 theme)?
So one of the cool things about Froyo is being able to check off Enable Automatic Update for market apps. So i have that checked off for like 80+% of my 80+ apps (that took a while to do let me tell you). Now i have had three apps have updates available since i checked off the box, yet they never actually automatically updated. I waited, hours, still never updated. Is there a setting i need to modify? Do i need to tell it what time of day to do it? Anyone else noticing this? I only really want it in apps that i don't care about reading the new features. But it is annoying that i have it enabled and it does nothing.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUnlike our US counterpart (Motorola Droid) the European Motorola Milestone/ users are not currently given any updates at all. The update server does not respond, as such we are stuck with 2.0 and with well known documented problems. Some of which make the device not usable.
View 3 Replies View RelatedOk, so like everyone else that expected to get their phones on Friday or Saturday though EVP I am still waiting for mine. Since I couldnt wait until tomorrow I went down to my local Sprint store yesterday, bought and EVO and still got the discount as they could "add a second line" to my account. Now, what happens when I get the phone in the mail? I can go down to the Sprint store and return it, no questions ask.
BTW this phone is really awesome, I am glad I had issues with my Incredible because the EVO blows it out of the water. The only complaint, the Sprint 3g network is about 1mb/s slower than ATT's. ATT in my area is really fast averaging around 2+mb/s down and 1mb/s up while Sprint is running around 1.2mb/s down and 512k up. Sprint TV and the other 3g dependent apps still run great though.
I am trying to debug my application on Emulator, but it just stucks off on one message "Waiting for Debugger - Application XXX is waiting for the debugger to Attach". Its really annoying probably I am missing something.
I don't appear to have call waiting in operation. But, more than that - I seem to have an issue where, if I'm doing something on the internet (e.g. checking email), the call doesn't come through. Take, for example, a mild incident today:
Meeting my beloved mother, for once in her life she's remembered not only to have her phone, but to have it on (will miracles never cease!). I call to find out where she is. She's 5 mins away.
So - while waiting for her, I go into my gmail to respond to a mail. Mother arrives - 'I tried calling to say go queue for a coffee, so we didn't have to wait, but it went straight to voicemail'. I hadn't moved, reception was still good.
I want to find out how to see calling waiting notification when I call someone and they are on the mobile.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAm I the only one who lurks on the Incredible boards whenever I visit AF? I figured the Incredible is in a way a cousin of the EVO (smaller, no 4G) so I'm trying to get at least a little bit of a heads up of what to expect when the EVO launches. I'm also new to Android so I'm picking up little tidbits in there as well. Call me crazy but it helps me cope with our wait.
