[General] Samsung transform ultra please help

Unfortunately, you most likely can't remove Boost Zone or Mobile ID unless you root the phone. If your phone was Android 4.0 or above, you might have the option to disable those apps, but not with Gingerbread. I'm not familiar with those bloatware apps--do they have any settings that allow you to control their activity?

Regarding the wifi--what different networks have you tried to connect to? Have you tried places like Starbucks or Target? Sometimes, phones might not like certain router settings, so at home, you could try removing any security setting on your router as an experiment. If you can connect, then you know it has something to do with that.

[General] Galaxy S4 missing 'Dual Shot' and Lock Screen Widgets

Oh wow, I'm special. I'm sorry for the dumb question.

I have a pattern lock if that matters...

No it doesn't look like that...

My options are:

Screen Lock

Lock Screen Widgets
Make Pattern Visible
Lock Automatically
Lock instantly with power key

I'm definitely missing an option there.

[General] Rooted Nook Simple Touch/Android v.2.1 and Third-Party .apk File Permissions

Hi, Everyone...

I am a person of very little experience w/ mobile devices but have recently rooted (w/ serious help from a how-to) a Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch e-reader and enabled Android v. 2.1. It is a much more versatile system now w/ several apps allowing me to do much more than the stock device.

However. I cannot use any apps from GooglePlay (the site will not allow my device to access the apps because it does not meet the audio and video requirements), which severely limits the reader's flexibility. I have been able to make use of several excellent programs from the Amazon App Store, but it seems that I can only install those apps which are not third party .apk files. Consequently, my Amazon Kindle app is a very early version, limited in functionality but proprietary, while there are many later, third party versions available elsewhere on the Web.

My device has a couple of .apk app installers installed, but they will not even recognize the presence of a third party .apk on the SD card or on the main memory of the reader. I have the well-regarded "Root Explorer" app installed and, while it will locate the target third-party .apk file, the install command only results in the same error that there is an inability to parse the program. Further, I have read that Android devices usually have a menu system w/ access to system settings allowing a check to the option "allow third party sources", but my device has no such menu system, and I have not been able to install any app that would install such a menu (due to the same problem about third party sourced app files).

I have done quite a lot of searching as how to solve this problem but have given up--this is a bit frustrating because I feel that my experience must be encountered by many others having run up against the roadblock presented by the GooglePlay site.

I wonder, is there any way to access GooglePlay so that I might install many apps conforming to Android v.2.1? Is there any way to allow permission to third party sources that does not require a menu that my device does not have? Does anybody know of a reliable source for a Kindle Reader app that is not third-party sourced? (interestingly, the two primitive Kindle apps that are recognized by my device also show the Kindle logo on the app file; the other, later Kindle app versions have the Android logo.)

I would appreciate, so much, any help w/ this, and, as I say, I imagine that my problem is the experience many others, as well.

Thank you very much to all those who have read and/or reply to this post.

Regards, C.

[General] How do I add words to the dictionary on my Galaxy s4?

I got the Galaxy s4 yesterday. I'm going crazy just trying to add word to the dictionary. I can't even get it to spell my own name. It does not have the "personal dictionary" option under "language and input" that I am used to. I took it to Best Buy and three separate techs there played with it and they could not figure it out either.

How do I add words?

[General] Trouble hearing phone calls but everyone says they hear me fine

I've notice lately, after flashing a custom rom, that during calls I can barely hear people on the other end yet they hear me fine. I have check all volume levels on my phone. Even with the call volume Zahl the way up and on speaker is still very hard to hear. It's extremely annoying and I have yet to find a post about it on this forum.

I did however find a post on another for with a similar problem and the way he went about fixing it was flashing a custom radio. I have no idea what that is and I can't find a thing about it on Google.
I need help with this situation badly because I don't know where else to look for answers. I have the galaxy note 2 by at&t rooted.

[android help] android image size from web

For starters, you are going to want to set a scaleType (try "center_inside") in your xml definition of the ImageView.

If you provide some code (in particular your layout xml file) I might be able to be of more assistance.

Update

Now, this may not fully be your problem, but it is a piece of it. DP (or DPI, they are the same thing) adjust for the screen density (pixels per inch), not the screen size. That means that an image of 200dp x 200dp will be approximately the same size in inches on both screens, not the same percentage of the screen.

Specs: Atrix 960 × 540 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Atrix_2#Features) Galaxy Ace 480 x 320 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Ace)

Since the Atrix is hdpi, and hdpi is a 1.5 multiplier, 200dp will take up 300px in real pixels, or approximately 1/3 (300/960) of the screen as you point out.

On the mdpi Ace, the 200dp translates evenly to 200px, which should be closer to 1/2 the screen. However, with the addition of the actionbar taking up screen real estate, it may seem like more.

The best way to deal with very small screens like the ace... well, my normal solution is to not support them very well, at least not on my first pass, as they are pretty rare. But if you want to, the best way is to provide alternate layouts.

For Example:

Create a folder named layout-large (or similar, see: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources.html#Compatibility).

Make a copy of your existing xml file in that folder. (name must be exactly the same)

Modify the file in layout/ so that it works better on smaller screens.

Essentially, if the device has a "large" screen or above (where large is basically the standard these days), it will use the layout in the layout-large/ folder.

Otherwise, it will use the default layout in the layout/ folder.

If you think this explanation is not what is happening, please provide screen shots to verify that the layout is in fact not behaving like it should.
