In the advanced settings of an AVD (Android Virtual Device) configuration there is a checkbox "Enable keyboard input" which - when checked - allows to use your computer's input to input text into the emulated application (instead or additionally to the emulated device's onscreen keyboard).

In the contact app I keep seeing old telephone number that I have deleted long time ago.
When I switch to edit mode I only see the current numbers but when browsing or searching for a contact in the phone app or the messaging app it keeps showing all that old garbage again and if one isn't super...
I would like to use Tasker to silence alarms during meetings and other events.
In principle this works OK (as shown and explained on several sites) using a condition of
State -> App -> Calendar Entry
Set Available to No, choose calendar by long-pressing on your Calendar.
Done.
BUT: I have...
Since about 4-5 days my Samsung Galaxy SII suddenly has a battery life of only about 12 hours any more (from earlier 36-48 hours) which I find increasingly unacceptable.
The only thing I recall having changed or installed in the last 2 weeks or so is "Whatsapp" (an SMS-like messenger but running...
My Galaxy S-II apparently has a very lousy telephone audio quality! Again and again calling partners remark, that I am very hard to understand, that I sound like mumbling and with lots of echo or they constantly ask me, to repeat things over and over again because they couldn't understand. It's...
I am using the vanilla Music app that came with my HTC Desire. In principle it fulfills all my needs but there is one thing that's increasingly puzzling and annoying me: I also started to copy misc. podcasts over to the HTC and I would like to keep those files in a common subfolder "Podcasts"...
... is to enable Bluetooth Discoverable mode! In about 80% of all cases it will first hang and then - about 5 seconds later - it reboots. :mad:
Only directly after such a reboot one can set the phone discoverable without fear of another crash. Terrific!
Is there any place where could one...
When using position based apps on my new Desire (Android 2.1) I can't help but notice that finding the location always takes forever (>1 minute after switching GPS on).
My old HTC HD (Windows Mobile 6.1) was much quicker in providing a location after switching on GPS. The trick was, that the...
I am using Eclipse to develop my first android program. One things that starts driving me nuts is, that whenever I type a dot on one of androids types (e.g. TextView) Eclipse goes dead for >10 seconds apparently digging up the possible code completions. E.g. if I want to write
TextView tv =...
Whenever I connect my Desire in "disk-mode" a Windows 7 alert pops up telling me that there might be a problem with my disk and asking whether I want to scan and fix the drive. No matter what I respond (if I agree to have it scanned it will do so and always reports "no issues found"), it will...
I bought me an HTC Desire about 2 weeks ago but since then I am cut off my Desktop Outlook which I use as my main calendar on the desktop.
HTC Sync that came with it flew off my system when after about a week it suddenly started to remove ALL items (from the device as well as from the...
With my old Windows Mobile phone it was a natural to sync via Bluetooth. I searched the manual and googled a bit but I haven't found out, yet, how to do that with my new HTC Desire (and HTC Sync). Is that really not possible or am I missing something?

This may sound like a stupid question, but how does one transfer MP3s to the device? I thought, I connect the device in "disc mode" and then copy the files over, but when I did so I only got an error message that this device contains an unknown file system and needs to be formatted before it...
I was very confused when I looked at the list of my contacts the first ftime after syncing them to the Desire. Only then I realized: this thing is sorting first names first! I find this most annoying and unusual. And worse: I found no setting, yet, that would allow me to choose the sorting...
I realize that the automatic screen orientation is an application thing in Android (not an OS thing as in Windows Mobile). One particular application where I found this missing is the PDF Viewer.
Is there an alternative or some trick to make it display docs in landscape view?
