I noticed lately that my stock text message application, is going very slow. On entering the application, screen goes black for 5-10 seconds, loads up each contact, picture, name, 20 seconds later, no lag. In this post, a Droid X user actually contacts Motorolla and Verizon about the issue:Text Lag is Back - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with the touch screen in that whenever the screen is touched, it causes significant slowdown because of the large number of callbacks that are being made. I have read in this group about throttling the UI thread, but this does not seem a good solution and i can't believe there isn't a better approach?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIt doesn't happen all the time, but it happens 7-10 times a day.Basically I can be using the keyboard or even in an App (like say angry birds) and the screen becomes unresponsive.The speed and responsiveness is comparable to trying to do anything on a 486 PC with a virus scan running.I type a letter and five seconds later it shows up.Interestingly, if I hit the sleep button, and then wake the phone back up it's completely fixed.I'm not saying I'm unique in this, I'm just saying I haven't figured out the correct search terms.I have a HTC Incredible, with the updated 2.2, vanilla.I highly doubt it is an App but here is my list just in case.

I would like to have my list activity to display 2 items(title, content) in a single row. I have almost 10 rows to display like that. And I want the width of the columns to be equally spread out. I tried with linear layout and table layout, but I could not bring the columns equally sized. I am using the following layout. kindly help me and advice me on this....

I recently updated through the OTA update to Froyo 2.2 on a stock EVO 4g (not rooted or messed with at all).When I finished the update,I sent a couple apps to my SD card (like Where was one, forgot the rest, maybe Flikie wallpapers).After that, the SD card was somehow permanently corrupted, I couldn't even format it on the phone or through a card reader on a PC. Anyway, then I started noticing extreme slowdowns on my phone's Sense interface (even today after putting in a new card).For example, when I try to type a text message,I put like a few letters from the person's name and it takes a good 30 seconds to show the results as opposed to instantly.Also, when a call comes in, the number shows up for a few seconds until it recognizes the contact, etc.Could it be because without a working SD card, things were put on the phone and now the phone is full (even though now I have a new card in there)? Or does anyone know why else this could be and maybe offer a solution?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a simple, classic, statement that every 200 milliseconds plays a sound (a metronome). I wrote it using Handlers, and then in another way, using Threads. The problem is the same in both ways: when I press hardware home button, or also simply when I press a button to open a ListView, the metronome terribly slowdown for a while. This problem (not so strong, but however present) presents also doing nothing and leaving the application in foreground. Any ideas?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy main device is an HTC One M8, but I also have a Nexus 7 2013, Nexus 7 2012, Galaxy Nexus, and a Moto X running on the same Wi-Fi network. They are all experiencing some slow activity on Wi-Fi. I also have 2 desktop PCs and a Laptop running on the same network and they are running fine, no noticeable lag.
On all of my Android devices, browsing the web via Chrome is almost as snappy (but still not the speeds I get on data) as it is on my computers. However when it comes to certain apps, there is a noticeable slowdown. Instagram has a lot of trouble loading images, Facebook, Twitter, Play Store downloads are stupid slow as well. And a bunch of push notifications from those apps, as well as GMail, won't come through or will come through hours after they should have.
But if I just switch Wi-Fi off on the devices that also have a data plan running (Moto X, One M8, GNex) everything comes through as fast as expected.
Could it be my router? I have a Linksys E800.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Express, which is basically a gimped SIII and ran into some weird slowdown issues. I first noticed with Fast & Furious 6. When I first installed it, it ran smooth. After a few weeks, the game became so choppy it was close to unplayable. I just thought it was a fluke, maybe one of the updates didn't like my phone.
So, after this and other random issues, I did a factory reset. After that I downloaded Injustice, very happy it was finally added for android. Same thing, at first it ran great but after a week or two it started to become choppy. I have cleared all my caches, cleared my ram right before playing by using an app All-in-One Toolbox and I have 2.3 Gigs free space out of 5 Gigs.
The phone runs on Jelly Bean(I think, whatever is 4.1.2) and the model number is SGH-I437. I know there are at least two different Samsung Galaxy Express model numbers so that is why I added that info.
I'd really like to know what the state of that fix is as 2.1 is rolled out onto first generation (MSM7200-based) devices. As it stands, I don't see much of a problem with touch eating up CPU on the Droid and N1 but those are much faster phones so I don't think it would be quite as pronounced on them. My current 1.6 devices (G1 and Tattoo) cut my framerates in half during any touch (with the sleep hack, even). I optimized my new games so that they would run well-enough (25-40fps) on that hardware but they have very touch-centric interfaces so won't work well with that bug. I talked to a few people who run 2.0/2.1 mods on their G1s and they said the problem isn't any better. They still see the big slowdown. I tested on my 1.6 emulator vs a 2.1 emulator and there is a huge improvement. The 1.6 emulator slows down just like my G1 does and the 2.1 emulator shows only a tiny bit of slowdown, which is what I was hoping for. That's encouraging, but I have yet to see a real 2.1 MSM7200 update in the field so I don't know what to think yet.

I've been using the HTC IME keyboard for a while
but i want to try something different
does anyone know of a keyboard application with wide keyboards?
I have created several files in a res/values/styles.xml file.
Here's one of them:
CODE:..............
I can apply the style to a single element in the xml by setting the style element like this:
CODE:.................
So, that works, and I notice that change. But what I really want to do is use the style above to apply to my entire application. I thought I'd be able to use this line:
this.getApplicationContext().setTheme(R.style.BlueOnWhite);
Before the super.onCreate of the first activity. But it doesn't work. Should it?
I want to apply theme over setting application wide. So I implemented below code but there was no effect.
1. AndroidMenifest.xml
<application android:label="@string/settings_label" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_settings" android:theme="@android:style/Widget.ListView" android:taskAffinity=""> -> added Widget.ListView style provided in android system and I changed style.xml file like below
2. FrameWork/base/core/res/res/values/styles.xml
before change : <item name="android:listSelector">@android:drawable/ list_selector_background</item>
After change: <style name="Widget.ListView" parent="Widget.AbsListView"> <item.................................
I am pondering the alternatives on how to scroll an "infinite", scale-like, control in android. The simple idea is to redraw the entire view on each scroll movement, but somehow it doesn't seem like the proper way. It is possible to draw the contents before-hand, but I have no clue how wide I should make the view in the first place, and what happens when the user scrolls to the end of the view? I guess I need to extend the view towards that direction. Should I go towards programatically adding (and removing) chunks of view to a linear layout? It would be great to hear what experiences are out there regarding drawing this kind of long-scrolling custom control.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I'm struggling a bit with what is probably a fairly basic concept.. Activity Lifecycle.I have read a bunch of thread on the topic, and I feel I understand well both the functionality, and rationale behind the lifecycle model implemented for Activities, but it raises a bit of a problem for me. My app (game) has a couple of distinct Activities for various sections:
1. The TitleActivity is a very small Activity that just launches a GLSurfaceView and renders a startup logo.I use this to detect the OpenGL capabilities of the device (eg so I know if it's using a software renderer)
2. The LaunchActivity is the main menu screen where the user can access options etc and start a game
3. The GameActivity will either launches a GLSurfaceView or a standard View depending on hardware capabilties.
The issue I am having is that I want to pre-load some "slow-to-load" resources, specifically audio, in the Title Activity so when the Launch Activity renders I can play some background music.I have the concept of a "media library" which I use throughout the game.Because of memory limitations in the SoundPool, I have limited this to only absolute real-time sounds and all others are played using mulitple instances of MediaPlayer.Hence my media library has a bunch of pre-loaded MediaPlayer instances which I access regularly during game play.. so it makes sense to have a centralized access point for all audio.All fine, however the problem is that when I launch one activity from another.. for example the TitleActivity starts the LaunchActivity (via a call to startActivity(Intent...)), the former goes through the onDestroy stage of its lifecycle.Now logically I had assumed that if I allocate a bunch of resources in the onCreate of an Activity, I should clean them up in the onDestroy, however in the case of my "media library" if I load up the audio files in the onCreate of my TitleActivity they will be torn down when the LaunchActivity is started because the TitleActivity will have its onDestroy() method called.
I am working on an app that uses webview for a help section.The help section is loaded from an external site, that is specifically designed for mobile phones.There are a series of 5 pages, with a simple next/ back navigation.When the first page loads, it loads perfectly, filling the entire area of the screen.When you click next, the page is now smaller with a large white gap around it (right and bottom), when I click back to the first page, this page now is displaying the same way (gap around it).I have tried setting body/table/container divs to 100% wide, and this continues to happen.However it works perfectly on any desktop browser.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a theme in my app that defines a custom color for the background. This is the green you see above the tabwidget. In some of my Activities I'm using a Tabhost for my Layout. Now I get something like this as a result: My tabwidget has a black background and I'm happy with that, but the icons in the tabwidget are transparent and this leads to them showing the green background defined in my style. How can I define the tabhost as not styled and have the transparent icons show the tabwidget the resion on instead of a solid background color?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHas anyone tried using the EVO 4G lens on their Galaxy S?
Macro Lens Attachment
It was mentioned that the diameter of the lens is 13 mm, which is about the diagonal length of the little square on our Galaxy S/Vibrant. (Captivate has a round lens, so you guys should be able to glue on the metal ring easily) So we might have a bit of problem attaching the metal ring that comes with the macro lens. I really do want a wide angle lens for my phone though. I can think of plenty of use for it. (I know about the DVD lens DIY, but I don't happen to have a old DVD-rom lying around at the moment.)
As you know android today is many versions many constructors, many screen sizes,...
it's quite difficult for developers today to write programs that targets a big part of devices.
What would be THE developer must-know practices for this ?
