[android-beginners] Re: Maximum SD Card size?

2009-06-01 Thread marak...@gmail.com
I think i read somewhere it was 8GB, although i have a feeling it depends more on the phone compatability. Im using the Dream(same as your G1), so id say its probably 8GB. Try to find a friend with a 16GB and try that first(dont forget to fill it up to make sure you can access all the data before

My comps working on software atm, so cant confirm it, but as its opening a new window/software, you will probably have to pass on a call to activate the *send* option, otherwise its just loading the software. Your code atm is sending the data, but not doing anything after that. I must say though,

Your going to have to put them on the SD card, but the problem with that, is only a dev phone(or g1/dream in dev mode) can use the sd card to store active programs on. Do you really need 48mb of audio in your program lol? Consider that most people are on data limits when not at home on their wif

This is more a problem with your laptop and less with the phone. There is a function in windows xp/vista to turn your existing wired connection(with a wireless connection on the system) into a hotspot. Google that and set it up, then you will probably have to access your network settings on the la

2009-06-01 Thread marak...@gmail.com
I assume you mean connecting the phone, not just the SD card as raphael mentioned? My best bet would be to upgrade your XP to the latest SP. Im not sure which drivers the G1 is going under, but i do remember i had to upgrade for other USB products to get them working (some sort of internal confl

Its been a while since i worked with PNG images, but i believe you can save them in multiple bit formats correct? (32/16/8 etc). If thats the case(and its the only reason i could figure it wouldnt be passing the check), drop it down to 16 bit, which seems to be pretty much standard - except in gr

I had a quick look at your problem, and the others that reported the problems and it seems that your having trouble communicating with the server(remember the check box for agreeing to send google anon data?). Did you check that?? If not, there *may* be an internal update check, but i havnt resea

Wait let me confirm a question i have first. You want to use the phone through USB, WITHOUT an active simcard in it? If so, just grab a cheap simcard, throw it in the phone, sign up as normal and grab a wireless router for your computer($10). Setup your computer as a wireless access point, and
