Orientation problem on Android Phones

1. I am experiencing the problem I have previously read from other users with their orientation failing to lock in the landscape aspect ratio on android phone tested on Google Nexus and . I have been expriencing this problem with no successful solution.
The solutions I have been finding are related to Flash CS5 and nothing for Flash Builder using Adobe Air.
My Meta settings are as follows in the app.xml file:
        <autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
        <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
        <visible>true</visible>
My landscape setting works fine tested on android tablet acer iconia A500 and the Blackberry Placybook.
I want to ensure the same gameplay experience on android phones.
Thank you for any helpful input.

Solved my own problem!
Had this: GameIFace.IGameController().stage.setOrientation(StageOrientation.DEFAULT);
Changed it to this: GameIFace.IGameController().stage.setAspectRatio(StageAspectRatio.LANDSCAPE);

Orientation problem after the phone is being locked

I have an issue with a game I've been making for Android in Flash. The app orients itself correctly (staying in landscape) up until I lock the phone I'm testing with and then unlock it. When the phone unlocks, the app will then be in portrait mode (it should always be in landscape).
In the descriptor xml file I have set fullscreen to true, aspect ratio to landscape and auto orient to false, but this doesn't seem to affect the app when being locked and unlocked (it works perfectly in any other scenario). It will become portrait again and not move back to landscape when unlocked (so auto orient being false definitely isn't being meddled with).
This issue only triggers when you're running the game and lock the phone and unlock. If for example you were to press the home button so the app is no longer in focus, then lock and unlock and get back into the paused game it will still be in landscape.
I've never had this problem on devices with android 2.3, but after the update to the ICS, I can't find the way to fix it.
Any workarounds?

Sounds like the lock screen is changing your supposedly locked orientation and not setting it back.
With the games I work on we've always left auto-orient on so I've not played with locking the orientation.
You might try setting the orientation when you get your ACTIVATE event like so:
stage.setOrientation(StageOrientation.DEFAULT);
The problem I've found is that devices don't all standardize to default = portrait.
So first, when your app starts in landscape mode, read out the stage.orientation string and save it.
Next you might need to listen for the orientation change event and then try to find a way to force the orientation back.
Something like:
stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGE, onOrientationChange);
public function onOrientationChange(event:StageOrientationEvent): void {
     isPortraitView = (stage.fullScreenWidth < stage.fullScreenHeight);
     if (isPortraitView) {
          stage.SetOrientation(mySavedOriginalOrientationState);
I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hello. The Youtube videos I placed in a site made in Muse, don't have sound and don't auto play in my Android phone. Can anyone tell me why? The same video has no problems when I watch it at the youtube site on my phone. It has sound on an iphone, but doesn't auto play either. Thanks!

Hi Mariana,
Please make sure you have the autoplay checkbox selected from the fly-out options:

Have a problem with keyboard input in my android phone

Firefox does not Sync my bookmarks from my PC to my Android Phone (Zombie problem is back again!!!)

Hi,
I'm using Firefox 18.0.2 on my several PC's and synch works fine between them.
But on my Smasung Note 2 (Android 4.1.2) Firefox could never synched bookmarks from PC. However opened tabs seems to be synchronized from PC to my mobile phone. But none of mbookmay PC rks seems on my Phone. I got no error message after synch operation on my android phone. But no bookmarks synchronized.
All options including Bookmarks selected under what to synch menu. I also tried only to select bookmarks, but helped.
I'm waiting this feature to work during a few months, through different firefox PC and android releases, now as a final hope I'm contacting with you.
My synch usename is [email protected] and I'm using default Firefox server.
I'm sure there is a bug blocking my bookmarks to be synched to my Android Phone , I really want to help Firefox devs to fix these bug.
Regards....

Having the same problem. Uninstall and reinstall did not help. Is there any progress on this? I'm using the latest android OS, and sync is working just fine on my other devices. The android phone is syncing my tabs but not my bookmarks.

I recently switched from an iPhone to an Android phone. I cannot receive text messages because Apple will not "release" my number from iMessage. I see others have had the same issue. How did you solve the problem, if you did?

PS Touch for Android phone refine edge problems

Hi All
Please help. Just bought PS Touch app for an android phone and I cant get the refine edge tool to work. I draw around the object I wany to keep then draw around the around the inner edge and press remove then go to refine edhe tool but it doesnt seem to work. The only reason I bought the app is because I want to select images and remove the background so thta I can 'paste' them onto another photo etc...Please help as Im getting frustrated. Is it a bug?
Adam

Hi,
I draw around the object I wany to keep then draw around the around the inner edge and press remove then go to refine edhe tool but it doesnt seem to work.
Are you trying to say that you use Scribble Select for the selection?
When you press Remove - have you painted the part that you do not want to be included?
If not you do not have a selection and will not be able to use Refine Edge.
Please look at

I have a variety of devices on my home network, such as 1 MAC, 5 Win 7 PCs, 4 Android mobile phones, 1 TV PVR, 1 BluRay Player, 1 TV, 2 Network Printers, 1 iPod Touch. All of them is appearing as the should except one of the mobile phones. It is being recognized as a Win 7 PC and I can not change the type to anything but a PC/Mac. I have tried changing the IP address and also completely resetting the network but to no avail. Network Magic also gives my Android phone (HTC Desire) the name of one of the connected Win 7 PC's. The IP address and MAC address recognized by Network Magic is the ones associated with the phone, not the PC. The PC is a laptop with both wired and wireless connection, but it doesn't help if I disable on or the other or both. I have also completely reinstalled Network Magic on the PC but the problem persists.
In addition to being annoying, the problem also prevents me from administrating a NetGear access point as it only accepts to be managed by the computer Network Magic is associating with my Androd phone. To work around that issue I hope I can do a factory reset on the access point and reconfigure it, but I'm not looking forward to it. I have bought Network magic Pro as my network management sw and would like to use it for that purpose.
Please anyone - HELP!

Dang! It's been a year since this was posted and nobody is able to HELP...
Anyway, I have the same problem here too... My Verizon Motorola Droid A855 is identifies as computer and Microsoft Windows 7 (workstation). I can't get the other options to categorize it as a cellphone. The thing is my Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-Ray DVD Player appears on the network map and I was able to put it under "Media Adapter," another pc appears as it should, a Hawking Wireless-G Range Extender as "Wireless Access Point," and a BoostMobile Motorola i1 Android cellphone appears as a "cellphone." So, how come my Motorola DROID A855 is detailed as under my pc name and operating system Windows & Professional? This is weird.
Anybody has an answer?

Can I access my icloud from an android phone?

I have a few questions as I am about to receive my first ipod Touch. Please forgive my ignorance. I've had a few 5G nanos but that's pretty much just itunes stuff; I'm not really apple-experienced and even on my (non-Apple) touch phone, I'm not very app-oriented.
1) Although my 32GB Touch is twice the size of my 16GB Nano, it's not enough to hold all my music so I hope to stream from icloud to my car- which is where I generally use the ipod. Since the Touch doesn't have 3G (right?), my plan is to stream from my icloud to my phone which will be plugged into my car stereo. It's not clear to me if there's an app to access icloud from an android device. Possible?
2) I currently have an amazon cloud because I briefly owned the Kindle Fire. I was sorely disappointed when I uploaded my entire itunes library, only to find that 60% of it was not allowed due to DRM restrictions. Many of those songs were off of personal CDs, while others were off various websites. I have very few "illegal" songs, so it was a surprise to me that so many were rejected by amazon. If I understand itunes Match correctly, $25 will allow me to bypass any DRM restrictions- so long as the song is available on itunes (so most albums should be okay). And what about the more unusual songs- live performances, underground covers, etc.? If there's no match in itunes, will they be subject to DRM restrictions? Do under-the-radar mp3s circulating on the internet have DRM restrictions anyway?
2a) I note that the description of Match covers "music you've imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than itunes." Is this "purchased" an important distinction? I have many songs that I've legally but freely downloaded off of various music websites.
3) If I'm paying for the Match service, am I still limited to 5GB cloud storage? Do matched songs count against the 5GB?
Thanks!

Thanks for your succinct answers. I do still have a few questions:
1) I understand that Match will let me store music that I purchased elsewhere, but what about an mp3 I downloaded from a random website for free, or a bootleg recording of a show? Does that stuff get uploaded or denied?
2) Let me clarify that I intend to do any significant interaction with my icloud on my ipod, but to simply stream random music or to play specific podcasts in the car, I'll probably stream through my android phone. So... what I think you're saying is that there are apps that will allow me to stream from my icloud to my android phone, even if you didn't care for the one(s) you tried?
3) Does the $25 Match subscription come with unlimited storage? If not, does everything count against your storage limit except for what you buy directly through itunes?
4) When you say the app to sync data to an android costs money, do you mean like $.99 or $5.99 instead of free, or do you mean that I'll need to pay monthly for a special kind of data processing though my phone company? I use Sprint- I'm pretty sure my data use is unlimited (if not entirely reliable).
Thanks again.

Is there Anyway to print to an HP printer on an isolated network with an Android Phone?

I've got a very unique situation and I have been unable to come up with a solution.
I have a jobsite that needs a printer. There is no internet at that location so I can't do a full blown eprint. The other tweak is that the users only have Android cell phones.
I tried setting up an older HP 5510 printer on a Linksys print server on a wireless router that did not connect to the internet and then putting a google play store app called "lets print" on the android phone and seeing if it would print. Look like it was going to work except it didn't. I could see the print going to the router then the print server and even what looked like going to the printer but noting printed. If I connected my laptop to the router and printed it work.
So, If I buy a new HP all in one (say the Officejet 5740) which has eprint capabilities can I just point the android eprint app at the IP address of the printer and get it to send the job there or is the internet absolutly required? Understand that I would have the android phone go on the local wireless network that the printer will be on and actually, the android phone may have internet through it's cell phone provider but the printer will not. I'm not sure if the internet is needed to render that's why I'm pointing this out.
This is a very tricky one. Deep thinking needed. Thanks for your help.

You will need to install a printer capable of wireless direct in order to print from a mobile device.
It is quite straightforward and does not require that the printer have an internet connection.
The printer will use its own wireless radio and provide an SSID for you to connect to.

Can't mount Android phone; Why not? {or, How to uninstall Mark/Space software?}

Ladies and Gents...
There's a Heritic in the building...
I'm a loyal T-Mobile customer, and I finally gave up on waiting for the iPhone.
So, I'm moving from my LEMON of a BlackBerry 8900 over to an Android phone: A Samsung Galaxy S II.
But, I'm having trouble mounting it via USB cable to ONE of our TWO Mac Minis.
It would seem that SOMETHING is wrong about the second one, but I sure can't figure out what to uninstall, reinstall, etc.
Here follows my description of the two computers.
{A description of what happens can be seen "down-page".}
=====
This is the description of my wife's Mac Mini.
I'll call it the FIRST computer because things DO happen correctly on this machine.
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:    Mac mini
Model Identifier:    Macmini1,1
Processor Name:    Intel Core Duo

Here's my own computer.
I'll call it the "Second" one, as it's the one that does NOT connect to the SGS2.

When I'm seated in front of my wife's Mac Mini,
I select on the Android (Samsung Galaxy S II) the following:
Settings > Wireless and Network > USB utilities.
On the window that then appears, it states:
   USB mass storage
   Tap the button below to copy files between the computer and SD card.
   [Connect storate to PC]
Note that at this point the micro USB cable has NOT yet been connected.
I click the button, and this dialog box pops up:
   USB utilities
   Connect USB cable to use mass storage.
   [Cancel]
I connect the cable, (and I do not press the button)...
The tan or "baby-puke green" Android symbol pops up on the top third of the screen, with a USB symbol in the place of its upraised left hand.
Beneath that is this text:
   USB connected
   You have connected your phone to your computer via USB. Select the button below if you want to copy files between your computer and your android's USB storage
   [Connect USB storage]
Please note: The above DOES appear on our first Mac Mini (my wife's).
However, it only briefly FLASHES on the screen when connected to (my own) second Mac Mini.
I press the [Connect USB storage] button...
I get this dialog box:
   Connect USB storage
   Connecting USB storage will stop some applications in use. They may not be available until you disconnect USB storage.
   [ OK ] [ Cancel ]
I click on OK.
The clockwise spinning circle briefly appears in the bottom of the screen, then my phone and micro SD card appear in the "DEVICES" section of an open Finder window of our 1st Mac Mini. I can transfer files back and forth on our first Mac Mini.
Remaining on the screen of the Android (SGS2) is the green android and this message:
   USB storage in use
   Before turning off USB storage, make sure you have unmounted ("ejected") your Android's USB storage from your computer.
   [Disconnect storage from PC]
As indicated earlier, I can transfer files. Instead, I now click the "eject" icon for both the microSD card and the phone, then click on the above "[Disconnect storage from PC] button. All is copacetic on this Mac.
NOW...    Moving over to MY Mac Mini...
I repeat the above steps, but when prompted to attach the cable, the baby-puke green android briefly flashes on the screen, then a screen wipe takes him away and reverts to the following message:
   USB mass storage
   Tap the button below to copy files between the computer and SD card.
   [Connect storage to PC]
nuts.
I've been doing this over and over and over again, there is just no getting around this. There is SOMETHING about my own Mac Mini that's causing a problem with mounting the Android phone.
The only plausible expanation that I can think of is:
Before R.I.M. released the Macintosh version of their "Blackberry Desktop Manager" application software, I had to purchase a compeditor's product and install it.
{I'm sorry to say that I can not be certain of what the product was called;
I _reasonably_sure_ that it was "Missing Sync for Blackberry" by "Mark/Space".
A distant second possibility is "PocketMac for the Blackberry", but I can NOT be absolutely certain of either item.}
To this day, I am not convinced that the first sync software I used was sucessfully or correctly UNinstalled.
Does anyone have any ideas?
What do I need to locate/fix/remove, and how, etcetera?
=====
p.s.: It occurs to me that this is first and second a question of:
- How, so long after the fact, do I delete all the old files that were associated with the "Mark/Space" software,
and
- Is the presence of the "Blackberry Desktop Manager" software on a Mac Mini's OS X 10.6.8 system going to create problems syncing to an Android?

Safe Mode (booting while holding down Shift key) should have disabled all the Login items, as well as any non-Apple startup items, including the launchd items.
I'm out of "Easy" ideas, and anything I say after this, is just wild ideas, so feel free to ignore me.
Have you tried different USB cables? Maybe there is an issue with the USB connector, or the way you have to bend things to access your Mac mini USB ports is different from accessing your Wife's Mac mini USB ports?
Try alternate USB ports. Maybe there is a bad/marginal port/connector.
Try removing all your existing USB devices. If you are using a USB keyboard and/or mouse, try using a different USB keyboard and/or mouse (maybe borrow them from your Wife's Mac mini). Basically remove all other USB devices and replace the essential keyboard and mouse with known good ones).
Desperate measure (Backup first before proceeding down this path). Using a Firewire cable, boot your Wife's Mac mini into Firewire Target Mode. Connect a Firewire cable between your Mac mini and your Wife's while your Wife's is in Target Mode. Now boot your Mac mini holding down the "Option" key, and select your Wife's Mac mini's disk to boot from.   Essentially you will be using your hardware and your Wife's software to see if you have a hardware issue, or if it is a software issue. That is to say if it works with your Mac mini booted from your Wife's boot disk, then your hardware is fine, but there is something wrong with your software. If it does not work, then it is your hardware.
Hopefully, you Wife will not kill you for even mentioning this. ALSO, if you do try this, BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP first, especailly her system. Not that anything will go wrong, but if it does, the last thing you want is an annoyed Wife :-) BACKUP!

If I open new sync accounts so that I can synce bookmarks from android phone to new desktop, will I lose my bookmarks in android and thus lose them all forever?

My old desktop crashed. My new desktop has the most recent version of Firefox and the new sync feature. Unfortunately, none of my bookmarks from the old desktop/Firefox transferred to the new desktop. My android phone (GS3) and android tablet both still have all of my bookmarks, but I cannot get them to sync to the desktop. I have read (and reread) the instructions for opening new sync accounts for all devices, etc. so that they are all compatible and sync will work again. I am afraid that if I do that, I will lose all my bookmarks from my android devices, and then they will be lost forever, which defeats the whole purpose of setting up new sync accounts. Can you confirm that if I open new accounts on all devices that I will not lose my bookmarks from my phone and tablet, which now have the only record that I can access to recreate them all manually (god help me)on my desktop if that is my only alternative?

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve my problem. I have given up and just re-entered my bookmarks manually to my desktop computer.

I just bought an android phone and the previous owner of the number had an iphone and imessage wont work, how do I fix that?

I just bought an android phone and the previous owner of the number had an iphone and imessage wont work, how do I fix that?
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4, and my wife has an iphone. We found out that imessage wont come through from her. After we went to the AT&T helpdesk they said that she could turn off imessage on her phone and that I would get texts on my S4. But then so would everyone else who has an iphone. That won't work for everyone in my company that has an iphone. So what I am wondering is- since I recently got this phone, should I get a new number? Or should I contact ATT or contact Apple to try and get this number de-activated? I'm thinking I'll never get into the icloud account that this number is attached to, but maybe someone has some advice on that?
I just sincerely want imessage to work on this phone and I'm willing to take the steps to do that.
Please help

Either one of the two should work - getting new number from carrier or contacting Apple to revoke phone number from imessage system.
That is if your problem is described correctly.
