Can someone with a Shift help me out - app test

Hiya -
Got an email from someone saying that they have a problem with my app which has been tested on quite a few devices and emulators but someone with a Shift is having a problem.
Not sure if it's specific to the phone, or firmware (guy is running 2.2) but if someone would be so kind as to download my (free) app and hit the trail map button and let me know what happens, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks guys!

Okay, so I've separated it out a bit...anyone want to help out again and try this:

Obviously, I can't modify my published app, this is just the activity in question packaged into a new app.
Thanks again!!

Okay, made one more change - can ya test v3?
It's possible that the shift handles outofmemory errors differently, not really sure but that's what im thinking at the moment

Working..only thing is when I zoom the picture doesn't resize so I can't read text or really see trails but yea its working
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

yeah, I reduced the image size from something like 3000x2000 to about 800x600
I was catching out of memory errors and then increasing the image scaling and retrying to load the image but it seems like the Shift is doing something different when the OutOfMemoryError is thrown. The code looks something like this:
Code:
try {
imageOptions.inSampleSize = sampleSize;
mBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.map, imageOptions);
} catch (OutOfMemoryError e) {
sampleSize *= 2;
// and then try to open again
}
Any suggestions?

I've been looking at this since around 7 this morning and I can't figure out what's missing..I'm puzzled and its driving me nuts lol...this problem is only on the shift or do you have the same problem on the evo also?
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

I'm not sure really - just got an email from someone with an Evo Shift but I don't know about other phones. My hypothesis is that the Shift is catching OutOfMemory Errors before I can, but I have nothing to back this up. You're still getting the same black screen and then the activity closes?
Thanks for taking the time to help, much appreciated.

Not with the update 3 I think was the one I d/l it was just that I couldn't read the image
Sent from my HTC Knight using XDA App

Yeah, v3 of the test just uses a much smaller image. So that means all the code for displaying the image, zooming, pannibg, etc. works fine. The error is in loading the full ~3000x2000 px image (in the zip file link or on the actual Mammoth app).

Have you posted in the evo forum to see if they have the same problem..they might not cause the res is bigger but id try there and with the hero section to see if either have problems or if its just the shift

android battery bar

ok, a few years back, my windows phone had this really cool app, it was a bar across the top that was 1 or 2 pixels tall, multi colored that displayed the amount of battery left. someone told me it was in a rom, but I can't find it to save my life. maybe one of you has seen it or knows which mod, or anything about it, because I would LOVE to have that stupid little bar back.
Thanks

It's built in to Cyanogen mod, if that's available for your particular decide. Not multi color as far as I know though.

sorry if im mistaken, i dont think this feature is on cyanogen mod. It is however on most of the 'MIUI' roms, i think it is standard on there.

Is this possible to have standalone? This would complete my device.

damn, wish it was standalone.. I'm pretty loyal to my current rom, at least until I get the new samsung infuse or whatever it's called.

+1 here, i still use LvmTopBat in my winmo, in colour and its the best. easy to read and always there.

it would be worth a few dollars even as a paid app,

The phone is not guilty that your arms grow from your ass.
Iphone, yes go buy an iphone and we'll have with a noob, idiot and troll less at the same time.
If you want to be helped, explain your issue with more details and less of these words:
1 omg

3 worst phone ever

If your phone lags as you say, and you are on gingerbread, you should do more research.
Want a tip?
Everytime the phone lags, random reboots or you have other problems or issues- simply Odin your phone and you won =)

Sent from my SGH-T959V

do a factory reset 3 times and clear caches 3 times. i would say just a bad flash. my phone runs super fast and smooth.

Look i didnt want to be rude or anything im just having a hard time with this phone. And ive done eveything i know to fix it, Odin stock 2.2.1 , stock 2.3.4 and stock2.3.6 and valhalla and octane via cwm. But i dont know what it is that everytime im done installing my apps and games the phone acts up. I have the link2sd running i have the fota fix i have the battery calibrate and like i said the kj1 kernel and the adrenaline shot v12. i dont know whats wrong is it an app? a game? I really dont know and another thing is whats the best rom for this device and should i leave it like it is or shliud i install other things with it. Thats really my question.

Try the version XIX of the shot. I got better results than with version 12.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk

From a clean install I have been on Valhalla... but until the latest universal adrenaline it did not seem the way I thought it should. Now my phone flies.
I'd be willing to bet your issues stem from a bad app causing an issue... have you researched that at all?
I would also encourage installing QuickPic and freezing the stock gallery... it is a CPU HOG!! QuickPic is liter and has a ton more options. I'm not affiliated... just noticed the stock gallery at times could take 50-60% of the CPU, even when I was not using it. F that.
Also, the newest Valhalla will be built off the newest OFFICIAL gingerbread... and we have source now for GB... so, things are on the up and up. Hold on to the phone for a bit.

I've noticed (at least for me) that restoring data through titanium gives me force close issues sometimes.

Hiya.
I think that if you start a thread with I hate my phone, you should expect more than flaming. It would be better that if you did your research and didn't found what you want. Then how about starting your post with something more detailed or, what you did to your phone in steps, to see if someone could help you in better way. Also I've seen a lot in this forum from people demanding, using every gibberish word that they could find, and SO they still get helped.
There're still few good fellas out there that love to help no matter what words you use.
My 2 cents

This perfectly summarizes your original post in this thread. You'd get more help if you made a post actually asking for help, instead of just bashing the phone. There are many of us here that have zero lag, and very smooth running apps.

There are a couple of things that can cause this. but some more info is needed about your phone.

I believe your problem is that you are using the Link2sd app. It has been my experience that it does not play well with Gingerbread. It has given me problems when I link to my external SDcard.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong but the last I heard Link2sd doesn't work properly on Gingerbread regarding EXT4 on the external SDcard?

Do you have your voodoo enabled?
Just asking..

So i should get rid of the link2sd app?? and what about using another kernel like kj1 and the adrenaline shot XIX?? and yes the voodoo is enable. Anothet thing if i just use the fota fix apk to get more internal memory. Can i install most of my apps?? right now i have like 25 apps besides the stock ones

I've been using Link2Sd for about 2 weeks now on both Valhalla and Octane, and I have not had any problems at all. I just let it move the Apps automatically and then I use the Create Link feature and it does the rest. I have 92 Apps and I still have around 250mb of space left.

Try again
I don't get the flame, either. You're having problems with your phone and came looking for advice (I assume). This is my sixth phone and I like the SGS4G quite a bit. I suggest you flash again with the stock KD1, then flash the Samsung released 2.3.6. There is an Odin-friendly tar on another thread in Q&A that was started today or yesterday. Should be easy to find. (I also that on my Win7 machine I can retrieve the tarball from the download cache completed through kies mini and use that.) NO overclocking I get quadrant scores in the 17-1900 range. The scrolling between panes is smooth, my wifi is good at home (personal security) and in my office (enterprise security). I have a bit under 80 contacts, I do e-mail, messaging, facebook, maps, browsing, market browsing, music player, ... angry birds and a couple other games for giggles. I have been pretty impressed.

I would still start as close to "scratch" as possible, clear cache, factory reset, load KD1, let it sit and does its thing a bit (5-10 minutes?). Load the oem gingerbread release and again let it do its thing a bit. Before you load your first app, run the stock ones, like the crappy browser and see what kind of performnace you're seeing. Init wifi and see how that performs. Put it through its paces as a stock device. If you have really bad performance on a "pristine" device, maybe you got a bad device. I have come to expect a certain number of brand new workstations I roll out at work to be clunkers. Maybe you ogt one. Anyway, if it performs okay as a stock device, load you apps one at a time and pause to test the effects of the new install.
Good luck!

i hear you. i've hated it after one day. it was hard for me coming from htc (n1, hd2) to sgs4g. it doesn't feel solid hardware-software marriage. and it is strange bcz you'd expect more from samsung.
in the end it's a subjective feeling, so don't expect crowd of support. everyone has his own experience.

HERE IS A BUG DATABASE, you can find what are they currently doing with this game! https://bitbucket.org/paulpach/blocksters.client.unitygame/issues
Cheers!

Looks good.

Guys, please post some feedbacks after some gaming about how it's running, and any bugs that you encounter on this game so we can help developers to fix them!
We will get next beta in 1-2 days probably, and it has improved performance, and fixed and added a lot of stuf!!! Can't wait!
You can also join Android forum and post feedbacks on original thread!
TIP: Simple sky on low is slower than dynamic sky (that is prettier) on low so it will be removed with next beta! So don't use Simple sky cuz it's uglier and slower!

Its laggy
And controlls suck
Steinkraft try that
herpderp © aint got money to pay to my fish

Yeah, you need a really fast ROM to be able to play this game, but on mine it runs fine, sometimes lags when making new chunks but after next beta, adding persistent world, and hardware keys support, it will run smooth...!

If I could use my device's hardware keyboard I would like it better. Just a suggestion

I talked with devs about that issue as it would enable us not to using touchscreen in tilt mode as it lowers fps on older devices, and they said they will probably implement that just need to finish some major things first...
