How to get Email app to use "me" contact?
I have a Kindle Fire HD 7. In my contacts app I have the "me" contact filled out with my information. This includes my email. However, when I send Emails to people the contact there is not the "me" contact. It is grey with my initials. When I try and merge this contact with the "me" contact I cannot find the "me" contact. How do you fix this problem? I have tried recreating my email account on the app. Making it all lowercase etc.... I suspect that the "me" account is special and separate from other accounts therefore it cannot be seen by the email app?

Why does the YubiKey Neo only use Firefox, not Chrome?
I want to use the YubiKey NEO with Chrome, and when I tap the NFC sensor to the phone, the only app I can use is Firefox. I would like to have SSO work with Chrome, but not sure how they were able to make Firefox listen for NFC events.

Left Alt on External Keyboard Helper for use on JuiceSSH and Finch
I like to use JuiceSSH to connect a remote machine which is running Finch. Finch uses ALT+ as it hotkeys prefix, for example, Alt+n to go to the next window. I have an external bluetooth keyboard which has Left Alt Key and Right AltGr key. The AltGr key is working fine, my problem is with the left key. The only configuration I found on the Custom Keymapping is to put Left Alt as Left Alt Modifier. But thats not what I want, I dont want Left Alt to be a modifier, I want that the application receives LeftAlt as it is. So I can use shortcuts like LeftAlt+N (instead of getting the char ñ) Basically, I want to be able to control Finch using LeftAlt as the shortcut prefix.

My phone pronounces my name wrong!
I use Google Now quite a lot and it pronounces my name wrong. This doesn't surprise me... no one reads my name correctly. However, I think I should be able to tell my own phone how to pronounce it! I have added my name phonetically to my 'contact.' (The same place I choose what picture appears in my text messages.) But this doesn't help. Any ideas where Google Now stores that information?

How do I update my ROM to the CyanogenMOD M series releases using the internal updater?
All versions of CyanogenMOD released it the last couple years have an internal over-the-air style ROM update mechanism found under _Settings > About Phone > CyanogenMOD updates_. Using the _Update types_ setting you can select whether you want to see only stable updates or nightly builds. However, these two release lines are not the only options one might want to install. Notably absent is the ability to select the M series of releases. Technically these are basically milestone tags in the nightly line, but using them is recommended over nightlies for some users. The M series builds do show up in the updater under the nightly list when they are first built, however that list seems to only show the latest three available builds. **How can I select the most recent M build for installation after three or more nightlies have been built after the M build is released?** For example, CM 11 M2 was released earlier this month, but I was traveling and now over a week has passed and the updater on my devices only show the nightlies from the past couple days. Please note that I know how to download the files for my device and flash them manually, but I would like to use the built in tool.

Where are dialer's "All Contacts" coming from?
Stock Moto G running 4.4.2, initially set up using Motorola Migrate to transfer my data from an HTC Desire S. I have Google, Skype, Facebook and LinkedIn accounts on my phone, and all the correct contact details from all those accounts are shown in the People app. Happy days. The fun starts when I open the dialer, and select "All Contacts". Here I see all sorts of ancient contacts who did once exist on my previous phone(s), some of whom I may have called at some point but most of whom I never have. They don't exist in the People app, or in the Call History, or on my SIM card-- indeed, if I tap one of them to look at their details, there's an "Add to My Contacts" button there. Some of them are contacts that I used to have on my phone 1 or 2 phones ago and long since deleted, others appear to be old details for contacts that I have since updated or renamed. Where have these ghosts come from, and how can I banish them?

Good idea to transfer all phone numbers from SIM card to google contacts?
I am new to the whole smartphone thing. Currently all of my telephone contacts are on my SIM card. **I suspect it makes sense to move all my phone numbers from the SIM card to my Google contacts** (i.e. adding the numbers to existing Google contacts who mainly contain only email addresses). The benefits would be: (a) no more duplicate contacts in my list, (b) automated backup of my contact's phone numbers. **Or, is there something I should be aware of before I do this effort?** Will there be some workflow side effects? (apart from not having my contacts on SIM anymore) Edit: I just transferred all. Actually, I did not remove the contacts from my SIM card, I just hid them using the contacts settings. So if I ever have to use my old phone as a backup, I'll have most of my phone numbers in there

Recorded video visible on device, but not other media players once uploaded
When I record videos with the rear-facing camera on my Archos 43 Internet Tablet, I am able to watch those recordings on my device, but when I attempt to upload them to online video sharing sites like youtube or blip.tv, they aren't properly recognized or converted. Likewise, when I transfer them to my computer, I can't play the video file correctly. If I transfer the file back to my device, it plays just fine. I know that the device produces *.mp4 video files. How can I convert these (corrupted?) videos so that I can see them on my computer and upload them to video sharing sites? Thanks.

ToDo list, with SPECIFIC repeat option
I'm looking for a simple to-do list, that preferably is cloud-synced. I'd like something with a relatively light-weight, simple interface, similar to Any.Do or #fetchnotes. I was using CheckMark Pro, but it is really WAY overkill for what I want. My biggest criteria is that I want to be able to set a task to repeat, some interval **from the date it is completed**. Most of them let you repeat every 6 months or 2 weeks or whatever, from the due date. But take this example: Task with due date of 5/30. Task set to repeat every 6 months from completion. I _complete_ the task, marking it done, on 5/13. The next occurrence should now repeat 6 months from 5/13 (the completion date), not from 5/30 (the original due date). And of course whatever reminder is set (2 weeks for example) should be relative to the new due date, 5/13 in the example above. Most of the one's I've looked at either are not cloud-synced. And I've not found any others than CheckMark Pro that allow the next occurrence to repeat based on COMPLETION date rather than DUE date.

However, I am just wondering if someone can point out what are the new things I can do with this software upgrade. i.e. what are some new features etc. that is now possible with this upgrade.

Race conditions in Tasker?
I'm trying to learn Tasker, and it seems that it runs its steps asynchronously, so I end up with a race condition where my task doesn't have the data it needs to continue. I made a simple pair of tasks to test. (Hardware info: LG G2 on Verizon running stock KitKat ROM, rooted.) Task 1: Echo 1. Variable Set: [Name: %ret; To: %par1] 2. Flash: [Text: Par1 = %par1] 3. Return: [Value: %ret; Stop: On] Task 2: Echo Test 1. Perform Task: [Name: Echo; Priority: 2; Parameter 1 (%par1): 5; Return Value Variable: %var] 2. Variable Set: [Name: %dbl; To: %var * 2; Do Maths: On] 3. Flash: [Text: %var * 2 = %dbl] Expected output: 1. Flash: "Par1 = 5" 2. Flash: "5 * 2 = 10" Actual output: 1. Flash: "%var * 2 = 0" 2. Flash: "Par1 = 5" My question is, why doesn't Tasker wait for step 1 to complete before continuing on to step 2? In fact, I'm not even sure it's working correctly in the first place. In my Echo Test task, I added a 2-second wait after calling the Echo task, and now my output is this: 1. Flash: "Par1 = 5" 2. Flash: "%var * 2 = 0" So the `%var` variable doesn't seem to get set at all. Am I doing something wrong, or is my Tasker installation bad?

POP3 email accounts disappear
I have several POP3 e-mail accounts that periodically just "disappear" from my Samsung Galaxy S3. My enterprise accounts never disappears. I add the POP3 back and they are they for a while, then when I try to open a notification I get a message that says `MAIL NO LONGER RESPONDING` and my accounts are gone. I have tried deleting all the accounts, clearing the cache then re-adding, renaming the default name -- all to no avail. I am on AT&T if that makes a difference.

Open source / trusted rooting app for Android / Motorola Defy?
I found a lot of compiled rooting exploits for Android, but not a lot of source code. So, how can I trust an exploit able to take SU rights on my mobile device? How can I be sure there is no root-kit/bot/spyware inside? I'm maybe a little paranoid, but this is a very serious issue for me: My PDA contain a lot of private/secret informations (personal and professional), so, is there a trusted/secure way to root an Android device? (A Motorola Defy in particular) * * * [EDIT] I insist on this last point: > is there a trusted/secure way to root an Android device? (A Motorola Defy in > particular) Does anybody know an open source or trusted rooting app for Android, and Motorola Defy in particular?

samsung galaxy tab 3 can not connect to pc via usb
I am trying to connect my galaxy tab 3 to my pc via usb, however my pc does not recognise it and nothing is shown on my computer on the usb drive. However when I connect it to the pc I get the message that the software was not installed correctly, upon doing more troubleshooting I noticed that it is a driver issue and the reason my tab is not showing as a drive in my computer is because the drivers are not getting installed. When installing the drivers it gives me the error "access denied" any idea why and how to fix it? I should probably add I have checked that permissions are correctly set in the registery. Thanks for taking the time to read my queston

OpenVPN Tunneling Facebook/Gmail App
I recently downloaded the OpenVPN app and I have it setup to connect to a server at my house and all of my HTTP(S) traffic is tunneled through the connection. I have confirmed this by going to ipchicken.com and it shows the correct public IP. Under the OpenVPN settings I have the "use system proxy" box checked. My question is does that pertain to the Facebook and Gmail apps as well? I would assume the apps are just using HTTPS to connect and then display them but wasn't 100% sure. On a side note, for some reason every time I connect to my VPN on the cell network, it pushes me my correct 192.168.1.0/24 route that my server is handing out but it also pushes a 10.109.105.209/255.255.255.240 route. This is not defined anywhere in my setup and doesn't show up when I connect to my VPN through another WiFi network. It is solely linked to the cell network. Everything still works fine but was curious why it did this. Thanks in advance, Eric

How do you determine if you're using Wi-Fi or LTE?

When I'm at a place that has Wi-Fi, I want to use Wi-Fi and not my data from my data plan. Is there a place in Android that specifically tells you?

Where has all my storage space gone?
This is actually starting to annoy me! Every so often, I get the 'Storage space running out' notification. I go into my settings, and it says I have 60MB left. The thing is, almost a month ago I erased the device because of the same thing - I have my 1.8GB available, and everything was fine and dandy, until now. I haven't installed anything recently, however I suddenly only have 60MB left. I added up all the app sizes according to Android: Chrome - 65.55MB Can You Escape - 34.75MB Facebook - 31.77MB (why does Facebook use so much?)

Nexus 7 (2013) Won't Boot Normally or into Recovery After Attempted Root
So I thought it would be a great idea to try and root my brand new 2013 Nexus 7. After checking out a few tutorials online, I found one for mac, and downloaded the toolkit at: http://www.androidrootz.com/2012/12/nexus-7-one-click-toolkit-for-mac.html I opened up the bootloader by holding down Power + Volume Down and opened the included script on my computer, which unlocked the device. I then attempted to restart it into recovery mode. I pressed Power + Volume Down on startup and opened up the bootloader. I then scrolled to Recovery Mode using the volume keys and pressed Power to select it and boot into recovery. This is where everything went downhill. I could open up the bootloader, but when I attempted to boot into recovery to load SuperSU onto my device, it got stuck on the Google logo with an unlocked padlock icon at the bottom of the screen. So I tried to boot normally, and it got stuck on the same screen. All the forum posts I have come across so far to fix a bootloop all require the ability to boot into recovery mode or normally. I cannot find a guide that tells me how to relock and return to factory settings if I cannot boot at all. Basically I need to unbrick my 2013 Nexus 7.

Trying to root Galaxy SIII Mini (Canadian) SM-G730W8 for additional language support
I bought an S3 Mini in Canada, but have noticed that I do not have a language option for Portuguese. I have done some research, and found that it is likely that the Portuguese language is included on the ROM, but is not accessible with my carriers version of Android. I can modify some language xml and config files in order to enable access as per this link http://www.pcwired.com/2013/07/how-to-add-international-languages-into- settings-on-android-samsung-galaxy-s4 However, the problem is that I need root access to do this, and there isn't a confirmed root for the Canadian version of the phone as there is with AT&T and Verizon versions of the S3 Mini. Can anyone give me some advice on how to enable Portuguese language on this phone either through a rooting method that will work, or through another approach? Am I out of luck until there is a root? I am disappointed that the carrier would hide this language as an option when it is, as I understand, already baked into the ROM.

I looked about setting up the APN with EE's details but I already have one called Internet and am unable to change the settings on this or delete it and create a new one. Does anyone have any ideas?

Why phone sometimes (often) goes crazy and constantly lightens up its locked screen?
In general, from time to time, my phone (Galaxy SII) lightens up its locked screen for 4-5 seconds. I thought: the reason behind can be to show if some messages or calls are awaiting to be noticed (but, with screen locked, it is pointless anyway, because nothing is shown besides symbol entry screen). But sometimes it lightens up the screen like 3 times in a minute, over 15 minutes. Why it does that?

Can't get into Clockworkmod recovery on LG Optimus 2x
I flashed a MoDaCo ROM this afternoon just to try it on my LG Optimus 2x P990, which was on ICS (CM9). I see that it's based on the offical LG Optimus 2x ROM, but I decided to flash it back to Android 4.0.4 ICS again, the one I was coming from. But I can't get into ClockworkMod Recovery. I didn't find ROM Manager on my phone after flash (it works, except for Market and has **very** many bugs), so I reinstalled it by sending the *.apk to my email. I installed CWM successfully, but I can't get into it. I have tried the volume and power button method and reboot from ROM Manager. None of them worked. My phone does works (call and such), but I can't get into CWM, which is **really** annoying.

Cannot create list in evernote
Android 2.3.4 and official Evernote app. While writing a note I want to add a multiple list (simple, numbered, checked) so I click the corresponding button. The indicator of the list is displayed (dot, number or checkbox) and I enter the text I want. At this point, there is no clear way of how to add another item in the same list. If I hit enter it goes to the next line, in the same item of the list. There is no way to add a second item but to fool it by changing list type back and forth (type1->type2). By only doing this trick I am able to see the second list indicator and continue my note. Example of what I see after enter: 1. Text here... and next here... Example of what I want: 1. Text here.. 2. And here... I am not sure whether I am doing something wrong, if it is a bug (?) or if I have something mis-configured in my keyboard (default international keyboard).

Why are my contact pictures blurry and how to fix it?
Since the switch from Android 2.x (2.3.7) to 4.0.4 ICS I notice that all my contact's pictures are blurry. Some of them come from g+ profiles but most are self added on a gingerbread phone. Why are they blurry and how can I fix this? PS: my own picture I reuploaded via the talk app is still low res and upscaled in the phone app. I also have a public profile pic that i updated at the same time.

Do Google Talk and Play Store still require background sync on Ice Cream Sandwich?
When I used Android versions up to 2.x, some apps like Google Talk and Android Market (now Play Store) required background synchronization to be activated via _Settings_ -> _Account and synchronization_ -> _Background data_. I recently upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich and noticed that both Google Talk and Play Store now work also when that setting is switched off. Do such apps still require background synchronization, possibly in a way that is no longer controlled by a user-accessible setting?

What does the SMS limit per conversation do?
On the Samsung Galaxy S3, there is an option under the default SMS application called "Beschränkung für SMS" ("limit for SMS"). It was set to "200 messages per conversation" when I bought the phone. What does it do? What happens to messages exceeding this limit? Is there any reason that I can't save millions of messages per conversation?

16GB memory card, ive used 2GB and yet have 14GB of free space, how can i use that 14GB and why is it saying low of space on sd card???
im using my 16gb memory card as to store all my apps on etc.. as my internal memory is too full so i chamged my sd card to default storage, but now as i have been using it it says storage space is getting low... but when i check it i therefore have 14gb left in total space i can use but it wont let me ... that's heaps of space I can use, I've tried moving apparently from sd to phone but internal is too full so I can't... I don't see how I need to do that anyway as I've only used up 2gb on sd and yet have 14gb I can use but why is it saying low on storage space on my sd? And how can I go by using the other 14gb ?

Updating Siyah Kernel to 1.9.1 on Galxy SIII i9300 ends in black screen after Siyah logo
I currently run Siyah 1.8.9 Kernel with CM 10.1 nightly (20130218), and I've tried to flash Siyah 1.9.1 with both Odin (PC) and through CM recovery. Both ways end up with a black screen after the Siyah logo. I've wiped cache and dalvik as well and fixed permissions. I'm not sure what the problem is. GM's website seems to support the CM 10.1 nightly I'm running. Am I missing something in stweaks setup? Something else?

Why doesn't my Evo bring up the Hacker's Keyboard?
I have an HTC Evo, which is still on Froyo. I've installed Swype and Graffiti, and while I mostly use Graffiti (I used to rock a Palm III), I switch as I need. I heard of the Hacker's Keyboard on the Android Market and I jumped at it. I have ConnectBot on my phone and I sometimes use it to get a command line on both my home and work machine, and it seems like the right thing. But it isn't showing up as one of my choices. Just Swype, Touch Input and Graffiti. I see "Gingerbread" in the description. Sprint hasn't pushed out Gingerbread yet. Is that the problem?

Chrome browser closed after receving a call
I started an online transaction on Chrome (under Jelly Bean). In between, I had a phone call and the browser closed automatically. It disconnected from the web sites, and I had to start the transaction again. Is there any way to keep Chrome running in background and keep all the connections open? This is really a big problem for now. I fear starting any online transactions on my Jelly Bean device. Is there any other browser which will keep the connections open? Google must have come across this issue.

DC-HSPA Cellular Standard Indicator
I have recently picked up a Nexus 4, on a carrier with a good DC-HSPA network (3 in the UK), and I want to check out the speed on that network. However, I don't know whether my phone has even picked up the DC-HSPA network. My speedtests have so far shown around 12Mbps down and 2Mbps up (one of which was in central London), so I can assume I'm only on HSPA+ at the moment. I'd imagine DC would be roughly double that. The indicator next to the signal strength bar has only ever said H or 3G. Will it say something different when using DC? It's never even said H+, for that matter. Is it supposed to? Or is H just a blanket for all HSPA-related standards?

Update to Android 4.0.4 fails
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with ICS 4.0.3 installed. The phone is rooted. Since a while I get a message about a 129MB update. I suppose this is the update to 4.0.4, but I'm not 100% sure. When I try to install it, the following happens: * the update starts * alert that a reboot is needed, and after 10 seconds it reboots itself * the phone reboots * I see a white open box, a green android icon, and at the bottom a progression bar * before the progression bar is at 10% the screen goes black and it reboots * the phone starts up, I enter the pin, then get an alert: Cannot update firmware. Try again with Kies or go to Samsung servicecenter. (Roughly translated) Is this a known problem? How can I fix this? Should I undo the rooting?

Can I copy/paste cyanogen files to another SD card, plug it into a rooted tablet, and expect it to work?
Long story short: I've got 10 Nook Colors, each of which has previously been rooted, but of which 6 of the 10 SD cards have gone missing (don't ask me how). I've also got 3 non-rooted nook colors that I'd like to root. I'm using the tablets to conduct questionnaires using ODK. If I take a SD card out of one of them and put it into another rooted one, it boots into cyanogen just fine. Plugging the SD cards into my computer (I'm running Ubuntu), I see that they have a fairly complex partition structure. How can I recreate both the files and the file structure onto new SD cards, so that I can boot my rooted tablets into cyanogen? Following these instructions ruined the tester SD card that I bought -- the computer now doesn't recognize the card when plugged in. Not sure why -- I `umount`ed it. I've got the disk image file, the gapps file, and the cyanogen file sitting on my hard disk. Also, how can I root new tablets? The uNooter file described here is a dead link. Or is cyanogenmod old and deprecated? Is there something else that I can do to get these tablets to run ODK? Help!

Can I control how google accounts get synced? Mobile vs Wifi
Under Settings>Accounts>Google>(my account) there is a bunch of services you can check and uncheck. My question specifically is I'd like everything to be synced but I want to be able to choose which services sync over wifi or mobile data. For example, I'd like most services to sync on both wifi and data but I want music and g+ photos to sync only when on wifi. Is there a way to do this? I also don't want to disable auto sync.

Trouble understanding this Cyanogenmod PSA
I've been using Cyanogenmod for over a year now, with my own modifications to the dalvik VM. I have teamwin recovery installed on my Samsung Galaxy S3, which I use to install new builds of cyanogenmod. One problem I've always had and have been unable to find an explanation for is that installing the new build of cyanogenmod would fail with some assert until I remove the assert lines from META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script in cyanogenmod zip file. I'm trying to figure out how to install cyanogenmod properly so I don't get the assert error (cyanogenmod already works for me (though it crashes sometimes, but I think that's normal), I just want to make sure I'm doing it right). I'm reading this PSA on Cyanogenmod's website, which I was linked to from here, which I found by searching the word "I747MVLDLK4", which I found in my phone's "baseband version" in the settings menu (I was thinking I need a different version of cyanogenmod other than d2att - one which has "I747MVLDLK4" listed in its assert lines), and I don't understand a single thing it's saying. > As we march towards the 10.1 release of CyanogenMod, we have folks updating > from older ICS stock builds. What is ICS? > However, there is an incompatibility between the ICS bootloader firmware and > Android 4.1 and above releases > > [...] > > Find a heimdall/odin or recovery-installable package of your device’s > firmware, and install it. What is a heimdall/odin or recovery-installable package of my device's firmware? Is that the bootloader firmware? Or, is it the entire "firmware" as in the way people call cyanogenmod a "firmware"? Or, are they telling me to install the default software that came with my phone when I bought it (where can I even get that?)? > To make sure your device is primed and ready for this state, the following > lists the bootloaders compatible for each device: > > d2att: I747UCDLK3 & I747MVLDLK4 Is this a different thing? Or is it the "firmware" they referred to above in my previous question?

Unable to flash a recovery using Clockworkmod
I'm trying to install Cyanogenmod 11 onto an unlocked HTC One, but when I went to boot into recovery mode, all I got was a red error triangle. The docs don't mention it anywhere, but other reports of this error suggest that I **first** need to flash a custom recovery image. So from there I discovered Clockworkmod and installed their ROM Manager app. It detected my phone version, but when I select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery", it successfully downloads something, but then reports "an error occurred while flashing your recovery". How do I fix this?

Nexus 7 tablet (original model) stuck in Safe mode; no way out?
I own a Nexus 7 tablet (the first Wi-Fi + 3G model - only front-facing camera, no support for phone calls). Yesterday, I wanted to take a screenshot on my tablet and tried various key combinations; i.e. power key + up/down volume keys; I am not sure about the exact combination, especially because I didn't expect anything bad to happen. I am not sure that's the exact cause, but there's no other way it'd have gotten into safe mode. **So, how do I get my tablet out of safe mode?** I've tried: 1. As stated in the official docs (and confirmed by a Google rep.), simply restarting the tablet (i.e. power off, then power on) should fix it. > ...restart your device to get it out of safe mode 2. Following these exact steps, I tried manually booting into safe mode, and then restarting the tablet to get out of it. 3. This: > It is necessary to hold the volume control switch to "high" and then operate > the "on" switch, to get out of safe mode [...] hold the "on" switch for at > least fifteen seconds. 4. Reset device to factory settings. 5. Reset device in Recovery mode. (Followed steps under Nexus 7 section) successfully from 1 to 5. Volume buttons become unfunctional at this point, and I am unable to use them to _scroll to "wipe data/factory reset"_. **Mind you** , the volume buttons worked in the first few steps, so there's nothing wrong with the buttons themselves. 6. Battery pull, i.e. holding the power button until the tablet restarts. 7. Remove SIM card and restart. Insert SIM and restart. **But... NONE of them worked.** My tablet is still in safe mode and I'm out of ideas. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Customize number display on dial pad on Android 4

On 2.3 you could do that from the locale, US had spaces and UK did not. On 4.1 it seems that both US and UK have the same spaces. Can it be changed? Thank you.

Why are some songs are not named correctly in media players?
Most songs in my collection display correctly. However some will display the name of the song as "01 Song name" instead of "Song name". Note that the file name is "01 Song name.mp3".

This occurs in all media players that I have tried. Does anyone have any ideas why this occurs and how to correct it?

What is the best way to provide feedback to an app's developers and request a feature?
Following on from an earlier question that I posed on how to free up space on my Android phone it became clear that a key issue is to request that more developers allow their applications to be moved to the SD card. **What is the best way to let the developers of my favourite apps know of this request?** I considered giving them a low rating in the market and writing in the comment that I would give them 5 stars if they included the "Move to SD card" option. However since I really like the applications and want them to be widely adopted to encourage further development on them I don't really want to turn away potential new users by giving a low rating.

When you perform an update of an installed program, the top notification bar displays a 'downloading' icon. When it is downloaded, it displays a 'successfully updated' icon. **Is there a way to clear these 'successfully updated' icons?** I found no other way than to pull down the notification bar, and click the installed notification messages, but this always starts the updated program. I was just wondering if you can clear these icons without having to start the program. _A minor thing, I know, but once I get a question like that in my head..._

Looking through it briefly, (see here) it doesn't look possible because the "intents" used by QuickShortcutMaker don't take arguments such as a filename.

What is the format of Android's logs?
I'm trying to gather data about my phone by analyzing the log files in `/dev/log`. I'm specifically looking at `/dev/log/main`. I always thought that any sane log format would be plain text, yet these files appear to be either binary or in some character set that neither I nor my Linux text editors can identify. **What is the format?** Here are a couple of screenshots: * First, here's a snippet of the log as interpreted by `vim` (`^@` refers to the null byte; I'm not sure about the other colored control sequences): ![vim](http://i.imgur.com/uKm1C.png) * Next, this is what the log looks like in a hex editor: ![hex editor](http://i.imgur.com/qhdCS.png) I'm using a Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean. The logs were collected using root and a terminal emulator, since aLogcat doesn't seem to use root and thus can't access all logging info.

How much internal storage for Apps does Nexus S have?
I have a Nexus One now, and the internal storage is very limited. For the moment I have only 164 MB internal storage for apps (From DiskUsage). Nexus One seem to have totally 512MB of internal storage. And Nexus S seem to have totally 16GB of internal storage. But Wikipedia wrotes: `16 GB iNAND (partitioned 1 GB internal storage, 15 GB USB storage` Does this mean that Nexus S only has less than 1GB of internal storage for Apps? I find my 164MB very limiting on Nexus One and I consider to buy a new phone because of this.

Airplane Mode Timer that LOCKS
I have found airplane mode apps where I can set a timer for when it comes on. However, I can't find anything that requires a password to turn it off. I need to set it up on my friend's phone for his son so that it forces the phone into airplane mode every night so his son goes to bed. I've tried various Parental control apps, and they suck. Also, it would be useful to have the option to manually turn the service off by sending an SMS from another phone. Please, don't tell me that my friend needs to take away his son's phone at night. I agree. But it's not my kid so I can't do it myself.

Can SIP be restricted to certain Networks?
The default android telephony app allows the configuration of SIP accounts. At home, I want to use my android phone as a softphone with my local router (an AVM fritzbox). However I frequently use other Wifi networks. As far as I understand, with a SIP account setup to accept incoming calls, the phone will now try to connect to my home router whatever network it is connected to, even using mobile internet services, using up bandwidth. I know that this can be restricted using dedicated SIP apps (like the one AVM provides itself). But it is it also possible to only search for the SIP server when connected to a given network using just the native telephony app?

Debugging crashes on Jelly Bean
I got an Allwinner-based no-name Android Tablet with 1GB RAM and a 1Ghz A8 CPU. The tablet came with Android 4.0.4, but later an upgrade for 4.1.1 was available. I upgraded my OS and while this newer version of Android feels a lot faster and responsive than 4.0.4, I got some random applications crashes which doesn't appeared on ICS. The crashes occurs randomly and after an application dissapears from my screen there's no dialog to tell me that "Unfortunately, [application name] has stopped", making me wonder if is not the OS which kills the application. I don't know where to dig for some debugging data but while I was messing with builds.prop I found a line called `dalvik.vm.stack-trace-file` which pointed to `/data/anr/traces.txt`. I don't get any clue what is happening by reading that file, so I post it here hoping that someone will understand something from it. The most "crashy" application here is GTA 3 (most reproductible crashes), but crashes also occurs with Browser, Google Play, etc. Do anybody have a clue about what could be the problem? Are 1GB of RAM insufficient for Jelly Bean? I post here my build.prop and traces.txt file hoping that it will be useful for solving my problem (build.props was sightly modified by me trying to get a solution for this problem). Please let me know if there's any additional information I should provide. Thank you.

What are Cyanogenmod's profiles good for?
I just installed ICS CM9 on my Galaxy Note and I am puzzled by the "Profiles" setting. It seems to allow me to set-up different profiles (home, work, etc) and associate settings with them, eg enable Bluetooth and disable GPS at home. But I didn't see any way to automatically change profiles according to, for example, presence of a given WIFI network. So, my question is: _what are those profiles for?_ Should I manually switch profile from work to home when I come back home? This make no sense! I searched but didn't find anything relevant, maybe because "profile" is a very generic noun.

How to fast scroll on Chrome Mobile
I just installed Chrome Mobile on my Galaxy Note (ICS, CM9) and while it has this nice card-like interface, I didn't find how to flick the screen to fast scroll to top or bottom of pages. In other words, using the Android stock browser, when on a very long page, if I swipe the screen for up to down fast enough with one finger, the page will scroll very fast and continuously from the bottom of page to top of the page. How to do the same with Chrome Mobile?

Adding email address from Gmail to Contacts
Suppose I have a contact in **Contacts** named John Smith. John's email address is _jsmith@gmail.com_. I've emailed him in the past, but I've never added his email to his contact details. Now, suppose I compose an email to John, then as soon as I type _js_ , **Gmail** guesses that I want to email John and his full email address pops up for me. At this point, I'd like to copy his email address and add it to his contact details in **Contacts**. Any way for me to do that easily? I'm using ICS on the galaxy nexus.
