nb. I can disable them using 3rd party root apps without any discernible negative effects. Are these networking protocols default?

"Why" is not a question well suited for our site, as it probably is a speculative question and such off topic (see our [FAQ]). Although, a short technical explanation: The company building your ROM decided such. "How can I disable them" would be better fitting, and even has answers: If you cannot disable them from Sett...

I was downloading Facebook from the Play Store awhile ago when the phone suddenly hanged up so I forcefully shut it down by removing the battery. Now when I re-boot Facebook is no longer in the queue and I need to download it again. Now my question is, where did the Play Store temporarily store it while it was being do...
The Playstore app usually uses <code> /data/local </code> to temporarily store <code> .apk </code> files while downloading, then installs them from there, and finally removes the temporary download-file (which then went to <code> /data/app </code> ). The <code> /data/local </code> directory should be readable by all pr...

I'm willing to buy a Sony Xperia S, but in my opinion, the modifications Sony made to Android is just horrible. So, is it possible to install the last version of Android unmodified? And, if so, how do I do that?
Of course you can Just pick one from all the available ROMS, you will find some vanilla builds there if you only want the basics. But it requires the knowledge of rooting your ROM and flashing if you are afraid of flashing but not rooting , then you can just remove the apps that you don't want using Titanium backup.

There are several system monitors available you might want to give a try. Some of them log activities while running in the background, so no information is lost when the device has to be rebooted.

I have a rooted Nexus 4 (totally stock, except for CWM recovery). Yesterday I updated it to the 4.2.2 OTA. Today I discovered that I can't take a screenshot.

As it turns out, the timing is just that finicky. Both buttons need to be pressed &amp; held at exactly the same time to take a screenshot. I was used to a mod on my previous phone that had more relaxed timings so you could hold power and then hit volume down to take a screenshot.

I have a Galaxy Nexus 'maguro' and a laptop with Ubuntu 12.10. I'm trying to install Ubuntu Touch preview. I installed the adb and fastboot packages, and adb detects the device when it is booted in to Android. But when I do a reboot-bootloader, it no longer turns up in the devices list.
" Boot loader mode" is also known as "fast boot mode" hence you need to use fastboot utility to access the device. This utility is part of Android SDK, and can be found in the same location as adb - <code> &lt;SDK install location&gt;\platform-tools\ </code>

Most phones have separate AP (application processor) and BP (baseband processor AKA modem AKA radio). "Rooting" results in gaining control over the AP. The carrier "subsidy" lock is residing in BP.

Before doing so, I'd consider two more things: Finding the real cause High WiFi usage is not caused by WiFi itself (standby), but most likely by another app constantly requesting it to "stay awake".

From what I can tell from research you should be able to download the RUU from here and run it. This requires a Windows computer as it is a .exe file. Download the file to your computer, plug your phone in to your computer and run the file. It should return your phone to the latest factory shipped OS and remove root.

I recently got a Nexus 4, and I've got a question regarding the volume warning that pops up if you raise the volume too much. Is it possible to disable or remove this warning? I want to be able to raise the volume with the phone in my pocket (with the volume buttons) without having to pick up the phone. I listen to pod...
This is a known issue (or feature) in Android 4.2, and there's probably no fix for now. UPDATE 2013-12-10: According to stackexchange-url ("Marius Hofert"), it is still an issue in 4.4.

I would just like to know whether the website root-android.org and its product is a big scam when it comes to rooting Android devices. If it is, then I advice other would-be rooters to stay away from it if they were to come across it.

Some devices (like my Nexus 4) don't have an external slot for an SD Card. Instead, there's a root folder called <code> /sdcard/ </code> that is treated the same way.

Recommended lecture: stackexchange-url ("Why did /sdcard/ turn into /sdcard/0/ with 4.2?").

Simple answer: No. On my device (LG P990 Optimus 2X) the path changed after upgrading from 2.3 to 4.0. Currently the path on my device is <code> /mnt/sdcard/external_sd </code> . So this is highly dependent on the device provider or on the version.
