I'm attempting to create my first Live Wallpaper. It works and everything would be just fine except of the speed problem. It slows down desktop - widgets and icons are scrolling noticeably slower than when using pro live wallpapers (I'm testing it on Samsung note so there shouldn't be a speed problem). I start thinking that I do it all wrong way- so take a look at my code please:
My question is - am I missing the point - I'm animating it by refreshing draw() function with a delay set to 10. (that's the only way I know - should I animate it some other way? Are the bitmaps too big? Or why is it so slow? Should I use sprites to animate front small effects to make it faster? Are there other ways of animating life wallpaper? I went through many tutorials and I've come so far but now I have to ask for help.
With a Strava subscription, you'll see your live speed on the recording screen and as a free athlete, you will see your average speed. At this time, there is no way to customize which speed is displayed on the recording screen even if you have a subscription. If you pause your activity when you have a subscription, however, you'll be able to see your average speed.
You all should make sure this information is available on your support section of the website. It took me a long time and the help of Google to find this answer to my question! I'm sure others are searching for the same.
his is totally unacceptable. The idea of paid features is understood, but live speed is too basic to charge money for. I ended my 1 year subscription a short while ago and was surprised to see you have included live speed as a paid feature. From my point of view, this is an unethical step and a non-legitimate pressure of a community app to prevent such basic info from non-subscribers. It is not even wise. If a person does not recognise the wealth of the paid features as a good enough reason to pay, do you think this "punishment" will make him or her pay? Most probably it will cause one to consider using another app.
Not showing live speed is really weird, I concur, but it isn't a change. I don't think there ever was a time when the app showed live speed for non subscribers, but I can't speak for the app version 10 years ago or older. Everybody who needs it and doesn't want to buy a watch, a bike computer or a subscription just uses another app for recording like Wahoo Fitness. Those apps usually can upload the activity to Strava afterwards.
I'd prefer to see my average speed, especially since the screen is turned off most of the time, but even if I have trial period of premium, I can't change the data field settings or don't know how. That's ridiculous...
I would also prefer to see my average speed. I do not have a paid subscription. Until this week it defaulted to the average speed. Now it's defaulting to my live speed. Any idea how to have it go back to my average speed being displayed all the time?
Thanks for sharing your comments, everyone. I'd like to point out that there is an existing idea you can vote on that proposes that subscribers should have the ability to view both average and live speed/pace during an activity recording. Feel free to vote and comment on it: Display the average ride speed in the mobile app for premium users
A reminder: if you are on a subscription trial or have a subscription, hitting pause on the activity recording will display the average speed/pace.
I believe this is unacceptable. It's like having users of alarm clock to pay for the clock feature. I understand that there should be some perks of paid subscription, but switching off actual speed in a ride tracking app - who does that?
Ugh. Google brought me here. I thought the problem was settings on my new phone but it turns out the change to average speed was because my free trial of premium lapsed. I understand the freemium business model and the need for people to get paid. By all means make all kinds of cool special features and offer them at a price. I didn't find them that special so I didn't pay to keep Premium. The ability to display actual speed on a GPS-based app is not a special feature. There are heaps of free apps that do it. Any of which can be run with Strava going in the background, or just switch to another fitness app.
21 days of free "Subscription Preview remaining. Somewhere I read that with the subscription the current/live speed is displayed. Hopefully, it will go back to Avg. speed when our free Subscription Preview expires. I've been using the Adidas Running app, but it's not as good as Strava. It's interesting that if we were to subscribe to Strave, then we would actually receive worse service ie., current speed instead of average speed. What a business plan!!!!
Hello, you shouldn't have to adjust anything in order for your live speed to display during an activity recording. Is your app up to date (a quick delete and reinstall will ensure you're on the most recent version)? If you still don't see your live speed after reinstalling the app, can you please submit a support ticket and send us a screenshot of what you're seeing while you're recording a run?
What is the effect of using live wallpapers on Android tablets?
I'm using a 7" tablet, running Jelly Bean 4.2.2 with a 1.5 GHz processor, 4GB flash memory, and I recently set my wallpaper to "Nexus" -- I want to know if this will have a negative effect on the (1) speed (2) battery life of my tablet.
It depends on the live wallpaper in question, but in general, the wallpaper only runs when the home screen is visible. Since you're usually running an app or have the screen off, the live wallpaper has no effect most of the time: the extra battery use is limited to when you're looking at the home screen.
This isn't always true, though. Some live wallpapers also run extra things. For example, the live wallpaper might periodically run in the background so that it can change its appearance based on your email inbox, or weather reports from the internet, or the accelerometer. For that reason, some live wallpapers might use quite a lot of battery.
In that respect, live wallpapers are no different from any other app. If they're inefficient or do a lot of work, they'll run your battery down quickly. If they're efficient and simple, you won't notice any extra battery use. Unless reviewers comment on it, you won't know until you try.
Regardless of your ability, Strava is an excellent cycling tracker. Using this free app, you can easily keep track of your performance by comparing key statistics such as your distance and pace, which makes it a great tool to follow your progress and set goals.
CycleStreets enables you to request different routes depending on what suits you best. For instance, if you fancy a quieter trip to work, then CycleStreets will find less popular, but equally safe routes for you to cycle on.
This app provides you with a wide variety of useful information, including your speed and distance covered. Using a live map, you can track your journey and receive directions to view exactly where you are at all times.
If you find yourself getting bored of the same daily route, Map My Ride is a great way to discover new ones. When you come across a really great route, you can save and share it with your friends so that they can access it too.
First Aid, created by St John Ambulance, could help make it easier to carry out first aid activity on yourself or others in the result of an emergency. Statistically, 19,000 cyclists are killed or injured in road accidents per year; a number that could be reduced by having more first aid knowledge. Being able to tackle smaller incidents could prevent them becoming a more serious problem.
Taking advice from medical experts, you are able to identify the type of injury that you have, and find out the ways in which it can be treated. The app simplifies the instructions for the majority of common cycling injuries, providing a step-by-step guide on how to give first aid support. For those with no previous experience of first aid, this app makes it accessible.
These can be dangerous, as often potholes cause cyclists to lose control and swerve into the road. Using this app, you can report these problems to your local council - simply fill in a form and Fill That Hole will do the rest.

T-Mobile is one of the largest wireless carriers in the United States, with over 100 million subscibers, and its acquisition of Sprint in April last year contributed significantly to growth. The company is no stranger to bold marketing claims, and its most recent advertizing tactic comes in the form of a "live" speed test billboard in Norfolk, VA.
