Hi Dianne, can you elaborate on that? What exactly has changed? How do you determine what is in the foreground? Is the 5% distributed equally among the background apps? And it only means that there is a 5% cap for the background apps if there is actually a foreground thread asking for juice

Yes, we've got the same kind of issue in our app. For the records, here is the problem and the solution. The problem lies in the Camera.startPreview : an error is reported in logcat : E/CameraService( 554): registerBuffers failed with status -38 followed by an exception :

Hi Brian, I am looking at the usage data from my server which includes how many people signed up for an account as well as how many games they played (my app is not available in the market yet so anyone that signs up for an account should be an ADC2 tester). My final numbers were 102 testers, 29

Hi Dianne, We did intensive testing on 1.5 and never had a problem with it. The change is definitely good for those developing on 1.6, but it never caused problems on 1.5 so it is difficult to know the issue exists without the ability to test on 1.6 (and there wouldn't have been an issue if the

Dianne is there any chance that such threading changes would affect the playback of media in a VideoView? I've noticed that since 1.6, when I'm on a low-bandwidth connection (e.g., EDGE) videos being loaded over HTTP start playing, but then pause until the file is pretty much completely

Donut (1.6) shipped with OpenCore 2.x, whereas previously we were using OpenCore 1.x. From your description is sounds like opencore 2 is more aggressive about buffering on slow connections, to avoid running out of data at the end. On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 9:09 AM, dadical keyes...@gmail.com

If that's the case, the algorithm for computing required buffer must be WAY off. On a three minute video that takes about 1.5 - 2 minutes to download on a particular EDGE connection (i.e., download speed is faster than realtime playback), playback doesn't begin until about 2 minutes after
