How do I keep browser open in background?

Any way at all to keep browser open in background so that I can lock it and have something streaming still? I've been listening to radio 1 from the BBC and I always have to keep it unlocked and have the browser open....

You using it over wifi? Its probably the wifi going to sleep. Try changing its sleep policy (settings-> wireless -> wifi settings -> menu -> advanced
No just while driving around on 3g. I wanna stream a show in the browser and be able to be on my home screen.

the phone is probably going to sleep. I guess the browser isnt able (by design) to keep the phone awake.
You might be better off with a internet radio app?
Yeah I wanna be able to have the browser stay open and stream when I go to check a text. I figure people. Would want to know how to do this since we have flash now ya know? Trying to find an app now..
We'll see.

I think its a battery saver. Unless u mod the browser its unlikely u'll find a simple solution.
I thought beebplayer did radio too?
also there's an app called UKRadio that should work too
I'm trying to stream bbcs radio one. Well the shows that are available from the previous week that is.

Beebplayer worked like a charm for streaming radio and putting the phone to sleep. Not used it since installing FroYo but have the .apk on my PC. I might try it tomorrow and see if it works.
beebplayer radio streaming works in froyo (frf91). Works in background while you do other things, etc. It's discontinued now but I have the .apk if anyone wants it. Just pm me your email.
It's better than the official bbc option (which means you can't turn off your screen, reply to a message/email without it closing).
Skyfire allows me to keep any stream going on play in the background even after I go to home screen!!!! Thanks for the help though.

Run/Bike app?

I've tried just about every reasonably rated run/bike app on my Aria (Endomondo and RunKeeper seem to be the best) and always have the same problem.
I start them before a run/ride, but shortly after I begin, my screen turns off and the app seems to close. It actually is still running (when I press and hold the Home button, the app appears), but when I reopen it, my current run/ride has terminated.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to keep the app going when my screen turns off?
Thanks in advance.
i use runkeeper and dont ever have that problem, the screen normally stays on the entire time unless i manually lock it or change screens
i dont even know how to change the settings to make it do anything different
I also use runkeeper without any problems (running Liberated Beta 5). I start the application/activity, lock the screen, and it runs without fail either in the background or as the primary running application.
Are you using some kind of automated task killer or battery saving application? That is the only thing I can think of that would explain the closing of the app when your screen shuts off.
your old thread is still here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742912&highlight=endomondo

I never saw your trackboost suggestion. I did a search on the Market and it couldn't find it. Can you send me a link to it?

I don't use a lockscreen. I just turn off the screen with the power button.
Not aware of using any task killer or battery saving app. In my task manager, it is still running.

Searching for an on/off Data-Connection app...

I´m looking for an app which easily let me swtich between Data-Connection on/off.
I´ve tested APN on/off widget and one which is called Toggle Data.
Both start and stop the data-connection correctly, but a few seconds after stopping the connection starts again, think thisis a HD2 specific problem, because these apps work with other phones.....
Has anyone found an app which works with the HD2 LEO?
there is a widget pre-installed that's called power control, i use it to turn on/off wifi, data, gps, and display light. I don't know if every build has it.
The build that i use has no widget called power control.....
There's plenty of widgets for this on the Market. Just do a search on there for things like "power control" or "control widget" etc..
I use SwitchPro. It's a paid app, but only cheap. It's VERY configurable and I highly recommend it.
I have tested Switch Pro.
When I try to enable/disable data connection, nothing happens.....

Are you using Gingerbread? I only ask because Gingerbread doesn't play nicely with some apps, and I found a lot of the toggles didn't work with Switch Pro on Gingerbread. I'm back to Froyo now and they all work perfectly.
Yes I´m using gingerbread.
Ok i guess this is the problem.......
Hi,
I use data enabler, its free to download from the market. It does not allow to turn off/on data connection, but it takes you to mobile network menu and with widget placed on home screen you get fast accsses to it. Works on Gingerbread without problem.
I recommend Quick Settings free from the market,does the job nicely.
Check on Market 'CurveFish'
Go to market and type in 'curvefish' They have a bunch or widget toggle switches for free. The one you will be interested in is their 'APN OnOff' app.
*Edit* Tried it, your right, turns off and then back on again. Sorry.
try Dataswitch its a free app

Agree -...it´s free and works perfect for me! (Rafdroid 2.3)
Try widgetzoid, it can do that and much more, one of my must have apps!
Apndroid works best for me, especially combined with 3g watchdog, makes sure i can't go over my limit

Startup App

Hey guys,
I was wondering if there is an app out there that will allow me to stop other apps from starting up?
I've tried Titanium Backup's freeze option, it would completely remove the app from app drawer.
I was looking for something that we prevent it from starting until I.decided the run it the first time. For example, I would like Google map to not startup upon boot, but would still like to start it up if I need to use it. I don't use Maps often, but when it starts on boot, Places, Latitude and Navigation start up too.
Any ideas?

I think it's called "Autostarts" in the market, good luck!
Sent from my SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
I'll give it a whirl! Thanks man!
I use startup manager, but I guess they are the same. Must have app imo
I tried Autostarts, and it works really well! Its got quite a bit of options to manipulate. A lot more than I, personally would need.
I'll check out the other app for sure! Thanks!

I haven't tried this yet but I have tried other bluetooth like tethering apps and it almost always crashes as if there is some library missing on the gear that it needs.
I was able to get the app installed and running on both devices. No success with internet sharing though...

Part of the issue is that open garden requires proxies in Firefox. Sadly you cannot access the settings to manually configure them. OG does have an auto add but only if you can access the internet.:banghead:
