Throughput on Android handset

Hi All, I have been testing various programs through my HTC Desire HD android handset for stability etc with my infinity connection. When running the speedtest.net app on my handset it tops out at about 5meg down. It will quite happily give the full 8.5 meg up, so its not a wireless issue. If i test on my ipad or laptop via wireless in the same place i get the full 38.7meg on speedtest.net. Does anyone have any ideas why this may be happening? I have tried selecting the "best wifi performance" box, but it made no difference. Thanks

I may be an app issue
Have you tried another speed testing app to compare the speedtest.net app?
Here are some apps currently on the android market, (now renamed google play) - https://play.google.com/store/search?q=speedtest&c=apps

Problems watching strobe media videos on android handset

I use strobe media playback to play videos on a website I run. Usually members have no problems, but one user said he couldn't watch the videos on his htc mobile - just gets the black screen. I checked on a friends htc mobile and was getting the same problem. Can simply just see a black box where video should be, nothing else.
Would anyone know how this can be resolved, so that strobemedia playback videos can be viewed on android mobile? Or what the problem might be?
Thanks

Hi,
can you share a link to a video asset for debugging purposes?

Is it possible to make a plugin api on android?

Hello,
We need to build an application that could be extended by plugins. Is it possible to do that and publish to Android handsets and TVs?
Like using modules, loading them outside android's package.

I found the answer: YES. ModuleLoader isn't available for a "Flex Mobile Project" neither Modules but you can create the modules in a separate Air project and load them using ModuleManager. I tested it. works. Don't know about performance of this, however.

Why my flex mobile apps kill by android system ?

Hello ,

Any idea how to prevent my apps be killed by android if it is running behind ?
Appreciate if you can share some information with me

Adobe's attitude is not only incredibly insulting and ignorant, it is also short-sighted, particularly considering the top android handsets would actually allow their apps to be more flexible and powerful as they have more RAM at their disposal and the very popular Galaxy Note series would be a perfect device with its integral stylus. This is not acceptable and makes me reconsider staying with my CC subscription. I guess it is time to start looking for adobe alternatives or at the very least demand a discount in our subscription as we are unable to use a large chunk of the subscription portfolio.

Internet Technology by Abney and Associates - Android and iOS

Right now iOs is ahead of Android. A battle between Android and iOS
Most of the well-off smartphone users in Singapore and Hong Kong are turning to Android handsets, mostly Samsung, rather than iOS of Apple. The trouble that iPhone is their desire to be different that causing them as weakness and in turn an advantage to competing device.
But which brand is better for smartphones?

If you dont mind being "locked down" Apple seems to make better products, Android is keeping up but Apple seems to be the inovator in the industry, people still think of an iPhone when the word smart phone is mentioned.

Android Exploit Credential Theft

Hi,
I'm using a Droid X and read the following article:
http://www.bgr.com/2011/05/17/99-of-android-handsets-vulnerable-to-account-credential-theft/
This seems like a fairly easy exploit to allow sensitive information to be stolen from out phones. Can Verizon tell us (1) what we can do to prevent this exploit and (2) when a patch/upgrade will be issued with the Google patch that prevents this exploit? Thanks.

I'm not saying never turn on your Wi-Fi or that Google and Verizon shouldn't get a fix out. But, rather this is another reminder of the potential issues when using public networks, in particular Wi-Fi.
As an example, while I trust my own home Wi-Fi network to an extent (it's locked down as much as possible), I NEVER use it for anything of sensitive nature (ex. online banking), but instead always use my hardwired network. Ditto for my smartphone, I would NEVER use it for highly sensitive things, even over the cell carrier's data network. You just can't control where that wireless signal goes and who may be able to sniff it. At least with hardwired, someone would have to physically connect to it in order to even attempt to sniff it. It's always a trade off between security and convenience. I choose security, but that's just me (highly cynical and somewhat paranoid )

Why are there virtually no mobile apps for the Android operating system?

Allan,
I have used the default calendar with the HTC Desire.
The problem with calendars on mobile devices is that they only store / display calendar entries for two years. i.e. entries more than 2 years old are not displayed.
(It may be one year for the Desire). I have stopped using the phone calendar.
You may find a calendar which synchs with google - the entries are stored online, and I think there is no limit.
Ao alternative is to save your calendar to a searchable pdf file on the pc, and then transferring it to the mobile device.

Does Skype on Android ever sign out?

I have been having a multitude of problems with Skype on both Android and Windows, I'll stick with Android here. System Specs:Samsung Galaxy SIII (Sprint)Model SPH-L710Stock ROMAndroid Version 4.1.2 Oftentimes I will receive messages marked as having been sent 'now' when in fact they were sent at a previous time and I already saw them on my Windows client. It's a minor issue, but slightly frustrating when trying to keep a conversation in order. Signing out... Where to start? Does Skype ever sign out properly on an Android handset? I will very often receive notifications about missed messages when I know for a fact that I had signed out of Skype. Here is a screenshot showing my notification bar when I am signed into Skype: The Skype icon is visible, and filled in. Obviously I am signed in. Ok, no problems here. Now here is a screenshot of of a message notification. You might notice something is missing:
That's right. I am now receiving message notifications while I am not signed into Skype on my phone. This is really annoying, and mildy creepy. There really is no rhyme or reason I can discern as to when or why I receive message notifications while being 'signed out'. I get them after signing out. I get them before signing in. Hell, sometimes I get them as soon as I reboot my phone and I am definitely not signed in then. Another problem I have been having, but I don't have any screenshot for yet, is that Skype will tell me that either I or the person I am talking to has added other people to conversation who we've previously had group conversations with. Neither I or the other party has actually done this though, and the person that is added doesn't seem to be receiving any of the messages. Very weird buggy stuff for what is supposed to be a mature application. This really sucks for me because I've been trying like mad to find a decent unified messaging program since I use Android on the go, Windows at home and work, and my girlfriend has an iPhone. Skype seemed like a great idea, I even plunked down for the premium subscription for the extra goodies (which I feel are a ripoff since most of them were free at some point, but that's another story for another day) - Apparently it isn't as great an idea as I thought it was. C'mon Microsoft. It's 2013. Instant messenger capabilities have been around for well over a decade now. What's the issue? Why is it so hard to find an application that will allow me to chat across different popular OSs without all sorts of funky issues? That I pay for this just makes it all the more frustrating. Anyone else having problems like these? Any remedies?

Hi Alura, Father Christmas rewards little girls with patience and persistence, qualities he greatly admires - Merry (foot-washing) Christmas I had a problem similar to yours with Skype 4.5. Reverting to this more reliable older Skype 4.0.0.22082 version, resolved the problem for many of us with smart-phones. Others, usually with tablets, reported that Skype 3.2.0.6673, better suited their needs. If you have a smart-phone, tap the link of the former Skype, or the latter if you have a tablet. If your first choice does not meet your needs, the other would be worth trying. Before tapping the downloaded apk file to install the selected Skype, uninstall the current Skype, disable the Play Store “Auto-update apps” option, and enable the Android Settings (from) “Unknown sources” option. Once installed, disable the “Unknown sources” option. Be sure to try any future Skype release, indicated by a change of release date on the Google Play Store Skype “UPDATE” page. If the new Skype is unsatisfactory, revert to the older Skype using the saved apk file. You can choose an even earlier Skype version if you feel that this would be beneficial. To date. I have not experienced any security problems with any of the above web links. Please be sure to post another reply to let me know how you go with the installation. I should be able to help you if you encounter difficulties. If you have not already done so, you should create a good Android issue report here to help Skype improve future versions. I am sure that a Private Message to Claudius, letting him know where your report is, would be a nice surprise, and really make his day Regards, BGW.514

Android reader and Paperport 12 created PDF files problem

i am having a problem with Android reader and documents created with nuance Paperport 12. The documents are a uniform 380k and contain a scanned monochrome image. The problem is as follows - When I open the document the page displays correctly but is way too small to be read on the device. The device is a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini running Android 2.1 update 1. I have duplicated the problem exactly on a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro.
What happens is when you zoom in on the document the page goes blank. There are no restrictions or security options on the document and the metadata shows nuance Paperport 12 as the creator. I can zoom in on the document on any other device other than the android handsets.

Are we Beta testing the N97 for Nokia?

Because if i was given this as a beta release i would have told them what i thought, the current launch version on the N97 with V10 firmware is barely an Alpha release, this phone was a rush job thrown out on the market to coincide with the launch of the iphone 3Gs.
This is my fourth N series, N80, N95, N95 8gb (the best N series yet), and now this N97 what should be Nokia's flagship, but being stripped of apps and filled with Trial versions to please the accountants at Nokia.
Day one and it locked up twice, corrupted my contacts when synced with OVI, and ran down to less than 4mb on the C drive, day 2 i found the GPS was not working, it was a joke, walking down the road under a clear sky and it could not hold a signal lock, driving was worse barely holding a signal for a few seconds and as for sitting spinning it round for an age to get the compass to work........forget it id rather be lost than look like a **bleep**.
Deleting apps and reinstalling them on the mass memory frees up some space, but why should we have to do this, the whole phone is badly thought out and configured.
Soon after the stylus supplied with the phone and attached to the phones only tie point scratched my screen, what was wrong with a rear cover with a bump and a thin PDA style stylus, no not good enough for Nokia, a fat thing on a string will do for them.
New Firmware release 4 days after UK launch and still not available to most users as it has not been network approved yet, 3 network say its Nokia's job and they are delaying things, Nokia say its the networks delay. Come on if it was needed that quickly why leave most of your customers waiting, or just get to work on a layered OS with a standardised core with a network layer, so everyone can have the updated without waiting.
4 weeks in on this phone, i too have the scratched camera lens, still No working GPS, and having some good negotiations with Three to try to reverse the contact upgrade, as i don't think another N97 will last any longer than this one.
I see Nokia spending Millions on punting the N97, TV, Billboards, Net adds, why push so hard on what is a sub standard product, could you imagine Joe public trying to free off some memory by moving apps, tell the care centres to brace themselves the N97 flood will be coming their way.
What next, well if 3 don't cancel the upgrade, then Nokia will have to fix my phone again and again and again untill it works as advertised, in the mean time i am off to get in touch with watchdog so they can let Joe Public know what to expect from an N97.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I don't believe we're beta testing the N97 for Nokia. Beta testing suggests it is in a state prior to production. Nokia's track record (at least to me) seems that leading edge phones never reach a stable plateau.
What I believe happens is the phone is released and remains unstable until they sort of perfect the platform, then a new handset is released bringing a whole new world of bugs and problems and so the cycle continues.
By the time the phone is suitable for every day use it is, by today's technological stance, ancient and the damage has already been done to the reputation.
S40 phones seem to fare much better, mainly because it is much more widely used within Nokia. S60 is up against some fine competition from vendors who will rush fixes out.. Nokia only ever seems to rush phones out. It isn't the same and it shows (see their forcast for the next 6 months)
I honestly would not be surprised if this flagship phone limps on in a partially functional state until it is superceeded by a budget blackberry clone.
Sad? Very! Am I being cynical, or telling it like it is.
I'd be real interested to know if any exec at Nokia used the N97 in the weeks before it was released.. Not that I'm a fan, but we all know Stevie J used an iphone long before it was released.. I kind of get the impression they must all use very basic "corporate" s40 handsets and assume their flagship product must be of the same calibre.
Next release, why not give 100 people N97 for testing, real testing. It seems Nokias quality assurance team is out of touch with what a $700 handset demands.. ooooh, I gasp in awe at your 30 MB of free capactity when you remove ALL the applications you can. (It's like having a 2TB hard drive in a computer and continuing to boot from a floppy)
I appreciate there are product time lines to meet, but if Nokia were aiming to compete with the likes of the pre, iphone and the various android handsets (not even mentioning windows mobile) rushing out a phone like this was very wide of the mark. Concept wise, the N97 is a great design.. the implementation of both the hardware and software just isn't going to cut it in todays market..
(but this is what they want? you'll get bored with the handset and buy a replacement! yeay!)

Seriously, Nokia what are you playing at?

I know there are aleady countless threads about the battery life but I really want a proper response from anyone on here who can speak for nokia?
WHY are you washing your hands of "battery issues " after this latest update when there are clearly so many people still with issues.
9 hours since last charge now on 52%. That's with email checking every now and then over 3g and some facebook and some whatsapp. Few minutes of listening to music too.
It's clear the latest battery update just changed the calculations so it showed there was more time estimated left...... (reckons 18 hours left but I'm more concerned about how much has gone in the past 8 hours rather than how much it says is left)
Diagnostics tells me the full charge capacity is 1354mAh.....:/
I'd also LOVE to know how you can claim these figures
9.5 h
Maximum 3G talk time
335 h
Maximum 3G standby time
55 h
Maximum music playback time
6.5 h
Maximum video playback time
I can't even get 55hours max 3g standby time let alone listening to music for that long.
And I don't even want to hear "turn data and wifi and location off when you're not using it"
I shouldn't have to

I have to agree with the OP - in that I feel that the battery life on these Nokia's is very poor. The fact that this is Nokia that we're talking about, the same Nokia that built it's kingdom on bullet proof dependability and huge battery life, maybe compiles the problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 - 1650 mAh and this new Lumia 800 (1450mAh). I charged both last night and then used the SGS2 as my main phone all day with the Lumia along for the ride just to compare.
Both phones had WiFi turned on and the phone set to 2G. I installed a couple of apps on the Nokia and had it checking emails every 30 mins.
The Nokia has just died after less than 18 hours - of basically being on standby all day only. No calls, no maps, no GPS, no screen use, just emails and twitter check twice. Stone dead.
My SGS2 is still showing 54% charge after much more demanding use. Even taking into account the extra 200mAh of the android battery, that would still equal around 48% remaining.
Although others may feel that this is acceptable, especially if they simply don't use the phone very often in a day, for people that actually need to depend on their Lumia for any level of productivity away from a power source, this is terrible. Throw in the fact that it's a sealed unit....pretty ridiculous. My old N8 lasts vastly longer than both these phones.
Design 10/10
OS 6/10
Productivity - 2/10
As a long time user of Nokia phones and more recently Android handsets, coming back to Nokia feels a little like they've taken 2 steps forward and 3 steps backwards with the Lumia.
I would like to return this handset to Nokia and try something else...maybe the N9 has a better battery life?

IPhone 5 Bluetooth Audio Problem w/ Car Stereo (Pioneer AVH-P3300BT)

I tried looking around to see if anyone else had this issue, and didn't find an answer.
I have a Pioneer AVH-P3300BT car stereo, and while it doesn't play music via bluetooth, it does have a very nice setup for talking on the phone.
It's always worked fine with my iPhone 4, 4S, and also several Android handsets. It even worked fine on my 4S after upgrading to iOS 6. But now I have an iPhone 5, and the audio quality is just horrendous. I can kind of hear the person on the other end, but according to whoever I'm talking to, my voice sounds garbled and "demonic". The iPhone 5 on iOS 6 is the only device this happens with. Is there a fix for this, or is it at least a known bug? I would hate for my expensive car audio setup to be rendered useless for the purpose I bought it.
The deck also displays other information from the connected phone, such as signal strength and battery level. When the iPhone 5 is connected, it shows a dead battery (even when full) and a completely full signal (which is almost never really true).
I can use the phone with my Plantronics bluetooth headset and there are no sound quality issues there.

Same here. Why doesn't anyone from support offer a Solution or at least reply????
This issue has nothing to do with your brand of audiosystem. I talked to quite a few iPhone 5-ers and they ALL have the same issue.
@Apple solve this!!!! And reply!!

Why won't my Samsung Stratosphere Charge??

I've had a Samsung Stratosphere since late July of 2012. For the most part it hasn't given me any problems. However for the past 3 days the phone has had problems charging. Last night it finally died while I was sleeping, I tried to charge it again, but it wouldn't even stay on. I took out the battery for a few hours, put it back in and then charged it with the phone off. It charged all the way to 100% after 2 or 3 hours.I turned it on to see if there was any positive change and the battery went back to 50%. When I turned it off again for it to charge again it was noticeably less than 50%. Does anyone know how to help me with this problem?

i have experienced this on multiple android handsets that i have, and it is not limited to just the stratosphere. in my experience i've found that:
1) the charging usb cable was at fault, eventhough i was able to get a charging state and a usb connectivity state. i swapped it out from a cheap one i bought from fry's and my charging issues went away.
2) you can try discharging the battery all the way down until it depletes. you need a fully and completely discharged battery. ( keep powering it on until it can no longer power on after it discharges)
a) charge the battery with the phone off. I have found that a complete discharge of a battery has helped resolved my issues in the past.
b) *for rooted users only* reset battery stats through Clockwork, or use Battery Calibration via Google Play.

The reason, why NOKIA made ovi maps free ? read th...

Helsinki - Nokia made a breakthrough by offering maps and GPS navigation service is completely free for users smartphone. Step the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer makes the GPS industry players stressed. Google is also subject to receive the effects.
"We are offering navigation for cars and pedestrians in 74 countries in 46 languages. Ovi Maps truly free," Jukka Husio said, director of marketing services Nokia in Helsinki, as quoted by the AFP detikINET on Friday (22/1/2010) . The new version's Ovi Maps can be downloaded at the Nokia website is, to provide full navigation features like voice guidance for driving, 180 state map, directions and content from leading partners such as Lonely Planet and Time Out. All are available without charge in the handset Nokia N97 mini, N97, 5800, E72, X6, E55, E52, 6730 Classic, 6710 Navigator and 5320.
Navigation industry players such as Tom Tom and Garmin affected by this initiative is estimated to Nokia's. And iSupply's prediction that the GPS market is likely to fall. Nokia also seemed to challenge Google is actively developing the navigation for free for Android handsets, such as the Motorola Droid.
For Nokia itself, of course, the move to improve its position in the global smartphone market. Some time later, Nokia is losing market share captured the iPhone and BlackBerry.
"I think Nokia's intention they can stop the decline in the smartphone market with that step. This service is useful and may attract enthusiasts because it become free. But I do not know if will be enough to stop the decline in market share of Nokia," said analyst Michael Schroeder of the FIM. (Fyk / Faw)
