Hi dancer,
what can i say ... it crashes as there are no paired devices on your device.
I apologize for this, forgot to try a case like this on my phone as its not possible to test on the simulator.
Anyway, i have uploaded the 1.3.1 so if you want to try it please downloading it again.
Yes, I changed my rom recently and I haven't pair my bluetooth.
I will try the new version.
Ευχαριστώ.
EDIT:
Works fine now.
Μιας και είναι ελληνική ή εφαρμογή, γιατί να μην είναι και στα ελληνικά?
Ευχαριστω για τα σχολια dancer.
Its a good suggestion to support other languages than englsh.
I am going to upload the xml file with the strings and anyone will be welcome to change it and match his/her mother language.
It appears to be working on Gingerbread, on my HD2.
This app will come in very handy, as GB on the HD2 has a 60mA idle drain with Bluetooth, and I use Bluetooth in my car, so this will help alot.
I will test it over the next day or 2 and report back.
Thanks for the work
Awesome App! Love the bluettoth features and how the flash will blink on an incomming call if turned over.
One request would be to have wifi turn off once no longer in range/connected for like 5 minutes.
TIA
Nice app. i just have 1 suggestion, it would be nice i the wifi turn off came maybe 1
minute after screen turn off
Something kind of weird happened. I had my phone on vibrate, and when the call finally connected to the phone, the vibrate started and there was no light, and then when the light started, the vibrate stopped. Is there any ways to have both or is there a specific reason you chose one at a time?
Awesome feature though. Thanks for the hard work. Keep it up.
wow this is a great tool! i have only tried the incoming call flash feature and it works great. I have not tested the blue tooth function tho.
Tested on Dell Streak with DJSteve's 1.8.1 rom.
keep up the dev!
Evo4g here, I just installed your app and I was wondering how do i know if the bt settings are actually working? The bt connected icon stays on all of the time.
Wow, this is going to be great!
Just one question: in a screenshot on this site i saw "Turn off bluetooth if not connected to paired device", but I can't find it on the app. Is this feature missing or what?
Great work anyway!

really weird but to be honest i did not try this case.
Thanks for the comments, i will test it to figure a way to have both enabled as the intention was to add the flash functionality on top of any existing.

Well the purpose of this program is:
- Turn on the bluetooth when making/receiving a call
- Turn it off only if it was turned on due to the above statement.
So if the bluetooth was already on , then the program will not interfere with it and it will not turn it off.
So to test it, make sure that bt is off and then try making a call (it should turn bt on) then hang up (it should turn it off) assuming the relevant options are selected.

Thanks for the comment, the paired devices option will appear only if you have already paired BT devices before running the program.

Sweet! I'l try as soon as I can, thanks in the meantime!
Well, i've been testing it for the last day, and it works great - Well done.
Only thing for me, is my stereo doesn't connect fast enough to the Bluetooth for me to use the handsfree... But obviously, thats not a fault of this program, it's the stereo.
testing right now! nice to see that we have more Cy users welcome aboard to the Android scene

GPS is working fine. But compass isn't working at all. Three or four compass apps that I tried (and which I have successfully used in older phones) either crash or show a frozen needle pointing up as North. Tried for weeks to see compass working and nothing.
Researched and found no plausible solution.
To make things weirder, yesterday, only once, compass worked perfectly in SatStat app. I did nothing different and am now unable to reproduce it. Yes, trying it outdoors, but although one should be able to get compass from GPS, AFAIK it should be available directly from the phone sensors with no need for GPS. Then again, except for yesterday's fluke, it's working neither way.
adb logcat for Nice compass (which crashes) typically shows this:

What would you do to try to fix that?
Thank you!
Any way of easily fixing what may be causing 1 to 2 bug reports to be generated every minute?
Checked my oem_log folder with ES Explorer and found nearly 300 zips in the last 12 hours.
Oxygen 2.1.4
Has caused a few apps to error out including Messenger and Typeapp most notably.
Battery draining quicker than I'm used to seeing.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Checked a few zips and the Bugreport.txt files has "Failed to connect to dumpstate service" as the only entry and [email protected] lists the following:

Fixed itself. Or rather a couple of updates appear to have fixed the issue.
Was a PITA for a couple of days.
When you say a couple updates fixed the issue, were those automatic or manually done? I'm having the same issue and at my wit's end
I'm having the same problem right now, do you have a fix ?

Yeah,the rom you're running is too old.Flash a new rom.
Just installed 2.1.4 today in an effort to get away from the bugginess that is cyanogen mod... only to find a bug with bug reporting that is draining my battery. My charger can barely keep up and it's running hot all of the time. Followed instructions to the letter. It's even interfering with other Google play services and making typing a nightmare.
Either a fix or a way to disable bug reporting would be *very greatly appreciated*
Hey,
i have postet this question already in Xperia Forum, but there came no answers, hope someone here has an idea.
i´ve got problems with the compass.
After booting, everything works fine, but after a while (some hours) the compass freezes.
i´v tried it also with the *#*#7378423#*#* all the Values are freezed.
So i decided to contact sony and report this behaviour, i still have warranty.
Sony gave me some advices like start in Safe mode and make a factory reset, but nothing helped.
So they said i should send it to Sony service, and i did so.
Sony made a check, but couldnt reproduce the Error and sent it back to me.
I can comprehend that, because you have to wait a while untill you notice the compass is not working.
So, i decided to conact sony again, but the service guy only told me, that there is no more help for me, i can send it to the service again, or i can send a complainment to sony.
I decided to first check again the Phone, in the hope to find out when the error occur.
And indeed i get a little bit closer.
The error occures only if somehing interrupts the currrent running App (or Activity).
Something like a Push-notification or if one clicks on the App-Switcher.
If made a Logcat from the moment when the compass freezes.
While recording the Logcat i used the App Sky map which is called Stardroid in the Logcat.
I changed the color in the logcat to red, when the error occures.
I used sky map, because while using it the display isnt shut down, so you can run it all the time.
Good for long term tests.

After rebooting the Compas is okay again.
So i tried to use the compass again with sky map.
And then i closed sky map and wait some time, opens it again o see if it still working.
After some tries i noticed, that it is again freezed.
So its not relevant if you are currently running the App, or if its running in the backround.
To proof i rebeootet again, so everything is working fine again.
And now i made the same tests like before, but this time i killed Sky map after every try.
So nothing is activly using the compass. And as you may have guessed, he compass works fine.
Has anyone an Idea, what i could do now?
What can i do about Sony, and how can i fix my mobile phone?
Best regards
Tim
When your compass is freezing, have you tried to kill every Apps, and do not reboot the phone, if the compass works after that?
If it works, maybe it is the problem of the app.
Yes, I tried. And I also tried to delete cache.
Did not work.
Hello all,
I am having problems with my Android and am a software engineer (but not an Android engineer), so I thought I'd post here.
After upgrading to Android 13, my phone often freezes, goes blank, and then restarts. It always relates to starting audio while wired headphones are plugged in. For example, if I start a call with the headphones plugged it, the phone freezes and crashes, but if I plug it in while the call is in progress, there is no problem. So, I tried running
Bash:
adb logcat
in TCP mode and using wired headphones and I noticed the following things:
It seems to be related to an "audio policy". I'm not sure what that is, but it says the following many times repeated:
Code:
04-05 13:17:24.006 3560 4672 W ServiceManager: Service media.audio_policy didn't start. Returning NULL
04-05 13:17:24.006 3560 4672 W AudioSystem: AudioPolicyService not published, waiting...
A nearby error (also repeated, although less) is:
Code:
04-05 13:17:22.010 1505 1777 E AudioSystem-JNI: Command failed for android_media_AudioSystem_checkAudioFlinger: -32
04-05 13:17:22.010 1505 1777 E AS.AudioService: Audioserver died.
Eventually the logcat ends with a message like this:
Code:
04-05 13:22:10.407 526 526 I lowmemorykiller: lmkd data connection dropped
04-05 13:22:10.408 526 526 I lowmemorykiller: closing lmkd data connection
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on how I can bypass this bug and listen to music/calls in peace!
Thanks,
Abe
Does changing Default USB Configuration [under Developer Options] to No Data Transfer do any good?
Thank you so much for responding! I tried a few calls and YouTube, and so good so far. However, the problem is not completely reproducible all the time, so I'll have to let you know in a few days whether the problem returns. Thanks again!

It still appears fixed. If I didn't make it clear from my previous message, your solution worked! Thank you so much for your help. I will follow up again if something breaks!
