Servicestop() Doesn't Stop GPS Acquire?
Jul 4, 2012
When user press log off button following 2 lines should happen:
stopService(myIntent);
unbindService(mConnection);
myIntent is same intent that was used to start service(desperate attempt to get this working). mConnection is basically straight from android's development center.
I have verified that service's onDestroy gets called. There it sets boolean variable true to make Runnable stop it's course(which among itself starts up gps tracking if certain requirements happen), calls the locationManager's removeCallbacks and finally calls super.onDestroy function.
I thought this was supposed to be enough to stop the service from running and acquiring GPS positions(and likely sends them to server too) but the GPS acquiring symbol is STILL blinking. I presume this is not just graphical error by the phone but that it still is searching(and wasting battery).
What have I done incorrectly? What else I need to do to get the service stop when I want? Service dying off when android decides off yet staying up when I'm trying to get it closed.

Okay when user presses log out button what's supposed to happen is:
Code:
stopService(myIntent);
unbindService(mConnection);
mIsBound = false;
I need to shut down the service on background.Except the service restarts itself over and over again! Even if I kill the program from task manager the service restarts itself. Other programs aren't using the service. when I uninstalled the program the foreground program information popped up indicating it was STILL there(albeit this I solved by rebooting phone).
When user says he's finished with the program 'least he can expect is for the program to stay down rather than keep eating battery by acquiring GPS signal and sending them to server. The program is not intended to be "once you log in you need to Uninstall me and reboot phone to get rid of me!" type of program!

As we know, when we connect the G1 phone with USB, we could use "adb devices" to show its device name. My question is whether there is a method to detect this device name in phone with code, or how to judge the "device name" is the just "myself" with code?

I don't know what I did, but it seems that my data synch is on non-stop. Maybe I never noticed before but in the notification bar, I see the recycle arrow icon just to the left of 3G and I can't seem to turn it off and my battery is running out faster than normal and the phone is very hot. I have used the Power Widget to power cycle (turn on/off) the data sync to no avail...

I wrote some code that mute the phone whenever an incoming call is received.
When the phone in vibrate mode I use the following code to stop the phone vibration:
Vibrator vib = (Vibrator) context.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
vib.cancel();
While it worked on my Nexus One with android 2.1, it seems that it doesn't stop the vibration on an HTC Desire handset with android 2.1.
Have someone encountered this issue?

I have a timer that schedule a task to run every 5 minutes. This task send a request to a server, so I need to be sure that CPU is on so that wifi or 3g can be used.
So the first thing I do in my run() method is :
CODE:.........
And the last thing I do in the run() is : wl.release() ;
I would like not to release here to be sure my service will run in the next 5 minutes :
The question is : if the device is already in a sleep state, can I wake up it with my wl.acquire() ?

I posted this back in May on the [android-developers] Google Group. I never heard back and was not able to reproduce the problem until one of my students did last week. I figured I'd post it here and see if it rang any bells for anyone.
In one of my code samples, I have the following method:
CODE:..............
When I run it, sporadically, I get this:
CODE:......................
This makes no sense to me. The database is definitely open. The SQLiteClosable is the SQLiteQuery created by SQLiteQueryDriver, and I see no evidence that there is an object pool or something going on here that might explain how a "new" SQLiteClosable is already closed. The fact that it is sporadic (meaning the same UI operations sometimes trigger the exception, but not always) suggests some sort of pool, race condition, or something...but I'm not sure where.
The code in question is from the LunchList tutorials out of my Android Programming Tutorials book. It's a bit spread out and not terribly suitable for posting directly in SO. You can download the code for that book from the above link if you want to take a look at it. I do not recall exactly which edition of the tutorial the student was working on at the time, though it was in the Tutorial 12-Tutorial 16 range. I was mostly hoping to run across somebody who had tripped over this problem before and had a likely culprit. I'm fairly certain my database is open.

I have tried to root this phone using Gingerbreak, Revolutionary, Z4root, and a few others. When I search on Google or the XDA website I can't find absolutely anything about an HTC Acquire. It's like the internet thinks the phone doesn't exist? I recently upgraded to it from my HTC Desire CDMA Bravo-c that I had rooted, flashed a custom rom, custom kernel, custom radio, the works.

With a free sunday at my disposal, i thought i would try and sort my hero out as it has become super-laggy after the OTA 2.1 update (HTC hero locked to 3UK network, previously had 1.5).
So i've been trying to read as much as i can on this and other forums and got as far as installing Universal Androot, which reported success in rooting the phone.
However have now installed (and bought PRO ver) of Titanium Backup which refuses to recognize the root. It returns:
ERROR: Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again.
Yet, TB is listed as 'allowed' under SuperUser Permissions. And even weirder when the error dialogue box comes up sometimes a strapline flashes briefly across the screen 'Titanium backup has been granted .. permissions'. I take it that this is Superuser informing me.
So why doesn't Titanium recognize the root? Have tried re-starting and rerunning Androot (which reports that phone is already rooted, do you still wish to proceed). It's almost as if superuser isn't giving the OK fast enough or something.
Obviously don't want to start messing around with ROMs if i can't first backup my data!

Just wondering if there is anyway to set my phone in such a way that my ring tone will turn off when I open the phone (either unlock/ do anything to the phone). As it is right now my ring tone (a full mp3 song imported from my pc) will play until I drag down my notification bar. I'm using tone picker and handcent sms if it makes any difference.
Also, is there a way to edit the the keyboard input sound when typing with the stock keyboard?

I currently have a voice plan, with sprint, for my dying LG Musik and my father's Palm Centro and am seeking to replace my Musik with a Samsung Moment. I have an upgrade available on my account, however I don't want to get locked into a data plan, since I rarely spend any time away from Wifi.
Does anyone know if there is a way for me to use my upgrade to aquire the Moment without commiting to the data plan?

I have so far found two bugs in Galaxo 1.6.3:
a) Speaker doesn't work in call (very weak). works well in ringtones etc.
b) Scrolling contacts by letter doesn't work.
Other than that this is a leap forward, especially with the overclock options!
Both bugs, as well as others, fixed in 1.6.3.1 update!

I have a very simple app. I have simplified for sake of discussion, but I think this is a good representation.
My issue is that when I exit the app, the GPS continues receive updates. As far as I can tell the app never stops running, it just no longer displays the map activity.
I have to be missing something important.

Is there any possible way to get the LED to quit blinking orange constantly when the battery is low? It's incredibly annoying to have the phone flashing at me out of the corner of my eye for hours on end...

So it turns out, that at some point after sending an email this morning (on 3G) the phone decided to turn off the data network. Don't ask me why (I didn't do it, manually). I turned it back on and all is fine. Sheesh... glad it's easy, but anyone else see this rude behavior? I have a 90%+ charged battery so it's not a low power thing...
--------------
For the second time in a month, my EVO has decided to stop working with 3G. 4G works fine as does wifi, but 3G is dead. When this happened the last time, I spent an hour on the phone with Sprint doing all the usual things from resetting profiles to battery pulls to, eventually, factory resetting the phone (losing everything in the process).I'm not terribly excited about another factory reset, so anyone else have this problem and found another solution?

When I get a call, email, text message..etc.. my phone will make a noise once.. and then the LED will flash green. HOWEVER.. if I don't notice it.. it seems after a few minutes the LED stop blinking green. I often leave my phone on my night stand.. step out of the room for awhile.. come back.. look at the phone and the LED is not blinking.. but when I wake up the phone I show a missed call, new email, new text, etc. Is this how it is supposed to work? should the green LED keep flashing until I check the phone?

I was just wondering if there was any setting that would allow me to use the HTC Email Widget (with my G mail account) without receiving two copies of the same email (one through G mail, and one through HTC mail)? It's a little annoying having to delete double-copies of the same email each morning. I stopped using the HTC Email application completely, but there's no widget for G mail (which I prefer to the HTC application).

I have netcounter installed on my phone so that I can watch my data transfer. I enjoy seeing how much I transfer and on average I transfer 150 to 200 megs. The last two days, I have done very little on my phone. To my surprise I open upt netcounter to see that i did over 205 megs yesterday and so far today I am at 175 megs. When I look to see where the data is coming from..it shows it is almost all Upload data. The graph shows that it started yesterday. My worry is that there is some kinda virus on here or something. I can not imagine what would be non stop uploading. How can I find out what is currently using my data.

I have an app which, for the last 12 hours or so, I can't NOT launch in debug mode on my handset. No matter what I do, it shows the "Process ... is waiting for the debugger to attach" dialog, and the process appears with the little green bug icon in DDMS. Never seen anything like it.Here's what I've tried: - Using the "Run" command, not "Debug", from Eclipse (duh) - Rebooting all hardware - Doing a clean install on the handset - Setting android:debuggable="false" in the manifest.That last one's freaking me out. If I can't turn off debugging for a production build, I can't distribute the app. And it's currently my top earner in the Market.Anybody got any ideas? About the only other thing I can think to try is a clean reinstall of Eclipse and the SDK, but that's enough of a PITA that I'm hoping I don't need to go that route.

Here is the short version of the story:Stock EPE54B N1 -> Unlocked Bootloader -> Root -> Cyanogenmod 5.0.6 -> WTF?! STOP REBOOTING -> Stock EPE54B -> WTF!? STOP REBOOTING -> ?I have reinstalled the stock image, Froyo, Cyanogenmod, I've had to pull the battery numerous times because booting would often freeze at the X.There were points where it would just boot up, get to the lock screen, reboot, do this several times.I'm about ready to go back to the iPhone now. Unfortunately, I didn't stick around long enough in stock before installing Cyanogenmod to see if that is the cause of all my problems.another thing I thought about, is that I've had to pull the battery so many times that maybe I need to something equivalent to "fsck" on my phone.I haven't seen many people have so many issues with reboots as me, so maybe the phone itself is bad, but I have no idea how to check.
