65622 | Will I be removed from groups on WhatsApp if I upgrade to a new phone? | I was removed from all groups before, when I changed my number. Will the same happen if I change my phone? This time, I have the same number but a different phone. |
65623 | Did Custom Recovery flash my SD? Need help | So I was about to install a camera mod on my LG G2 (D802) via TWRP. I am no expert but I have used similar mods on my Android phones before without any problem. So I made a backup via Nandroid and went along and turned off my phone and did the factory reset combination to start up TWRP, the only problem was... I forgot to install TWRP! or I thought I had installed it but I had not... This of course led to ------> FACTORY RESET OF PHONE. Long story short: Trying to repair my mistake I somewhere along the way I manage to brick my phone (well done, I know) and got stuck in fastboot mode. To fix this I installed "fastboot tool" and manage to install a StockMOD Rom (based off the D802 International 10b rom (JDQ39b)). Now I was finally able to factory reset the phone and get it to boot. No problem, I thought. Now I just need to install ClockworkMod and use my nandroid backup to get my OS back in shape. And it worked!! HOWEVER... Now all my data (photos, music, everything) on the emulated SD card is gone, at least that is what it looks like... Using root browser I have not been able to locate the data anywhere... Using the stock storage tool and "DiskUsage" you can see that of the 25GB available memory, 9,7GB is already in use! I only got 14GB of free space to use (see picture below): http://tinyurl.com/oe8nvea As you can see in the picture, I can't account for this much data... What is using all that 9,7GB of memory? Is it possible that this could be my lost photo and music gallery hiding somewhere? A clean installation of the LG G2 should have about 24GB of free space to use, like the picture below: http://st1.bgr.in/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/lg-g2-internal-memory.jpg Where did all my data go? What is using all that memory? Tune in next week for the thrilling conclusion! Seriously though... Any help to get me in the right direction to solve this "mystery" is much appreciated! :) |
16284 | Blocking a call without the calling party knowing it | Most call blocking apps will reject/hang up the calls from blacklisted numbers. But the calling party comes to know that there call was rejected. Is there any way or any app which can really "block" the call (like turning off network connection for few seconds) so that the calling party feels that the phone is either switched off or not reachable. |
65629 | 4.4 Kitkat Lockscreen music player | I hate the new kitkat update with the new album art lockscreen display when you are playing music. I would like to know is there any way possible to get the track list w/music controls back like on 4.2.2.

49029 | Samsung Galaxy s3 still vibrating when getting notification, even though I'm on silent mode | I have Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300.

This is very annoying when I'm in the classroom, for example. Is there any option to completely disable vibration on silent mode? |
46038 | Restore HTC One X to original ROM | My HTC One X came with ICS pre-installed, but then I upgraded it to Android 4.2.2 using CyanogenMod.

46032 | How do I use a periodic trigger in Automagic? | There's an app called Automagic which uses flow charts to create workflows that let you perform custom sequences of actions on your Android (essentially macros, but with an advanced interface for editing them). **Can somebody please explain how to use the periodic trigger?** I've tried using it to kick start a flow, but it never fires. I've ensured that the flow is enabled, I've checked the logs and there's nothing about any problems occurring with launching the flow. |
49025 | Seesmic Twitter image upload problem | So I started using **Seesmic** application to post on **FaceBook** and **Twitter** , but I have problem when uploading images in Twitter statuses. If I use **yfrog.com** as service for uploading images in the settings, it uploads ok and adds the link. No problem. But I don't like using yfrog because official twitter doesn't show the image normally if it isn't uploaded on official Twitter servers... So I want to use the option Twitter or Twitpic for the image upload, but when I try to sent tweet with image using this settings it fails with this error: " **Cannot update status** The service provider cannot be reached. Please retry later." So I try to Retry later.. but still won't work. Anyone with same problem or solution? I tried Googling, but nothing helpful. Or is there any small app for twitter + facebook with official twitter image uploading that you would recommend? |
46030 | Google+ Location Sharing: How to share only city level locations | For some time, Google+ contains the possibility to share your current location with your friends. This feature is similar to Google Latitude but uses a different permission-system: Where Latitude uses a seperate friend list (the Latitude Friends), Google+ uses the people from your circles to check, who can see your location. In the settings of the location sharing (in the Google+ App, in the drawer "Locations", Settings), I can select which people can see "who can see your best available location". All these people see my exact location, so determined by GPS (if available). If a person is not included in this list, the person does not see my location at all. **Question: How can I select which persons can only see my city, but not my exact location? Just like it was possible on latitude? As expained above, I only see the possiblity to share the exact location or to share no location at all.** |

48372 | Note 10.1 stuck in restart loop | I bought the Note 10.1 two months ago. But now my Note is stuck in a restarting loop for a second time. First, it happened last month. I already got that fixed by the service center. I asked the service center man whether I can fixed it by myself or not. He told me that you couldn't. Now, my Note 10.1 is constantly restarting again. I don't know what exactly the root cause of this issue is. I remembered that last activity was I only registered new account for Line and ChatOn app. The problem condition is when entering the boot screen, the note 10.1 just restarts again. So it never reaches the home screen. Any body know what is the root cause for this? How can I fix it by myself? |
48371 | How can I tell if a Watch Later video has been successfully preloaded? | Preloading of 'Watch Later' videos has been enabled, but I do not know how to tell when a video I am about to watch has been successfully pre-loaded by the YouTube app. As others have noted (Youtube Preload limit?) there is a limit to how much video Google will download to your device. I cannot see whether a particular video is preloaded or not. I have a good (but limited) mobile network, so preloaded or not pre-loaded both load quickly. Can you see where the data is stored? Is there a widget or indicator I missed that tells me if the video will come from the storage or from the cell network before launching it? |
64286 | Restoring a previous sdcard path after ROM upgrade | Device: HTC Desire Z I moved from CM 10.1 to 11, and I would like to bring back the old path of sdcard. It was like this: 10.1: `/storage/primary/legacy/` 11: `/storage/sdcard` Can I do that by doing hard link, mounting the folder, making a shortcut, or by other method? I would like these both paths to work. |

That PC isn't on any network, and it's in some faraway place (but with cell service), and I need to support it.

7875 | How to remove MotoBLUR from Motorola Charm MB502 phone? | I have a T-Mobile branded Motorola Charm (MB502) phone that I bought for my wife. It's a capable little device, but it's being slowed down to a crawl by MotoBLUR. I'd like to know if there is a way to remove all BLUR software, preferably by overwriting the firmware with a de-blurred version. It's been updated to the latest firmware and rooted via SuperOneClick. Here are the relevant details from the phone's "About" screen: > System Version: Blur_Version_2.3.9007.MB502.T-Mobile.en.US > Model number: MB502 > Baseband version: EPU93_U_03.3B.02 > Build number: BASIL_U3_03.90.7 I know of at least one de-blurred version that can be flashed with RDSlite, from and-developers.com. Unfortunately this version "BASEM_U3_01.12.4" doesn't work on T-Mobile Charm and (almost) bricks it after flashing, requiring a re- flash to the base T-Mobile sbf. Also, on xda-developers thread a dev managed to build a working version of Clockwork Recovery for the Charm. However, there are no ROMs available for it yet. So my question is this: For the lack of any 3rd-party ROMs, is there a way to safely remove all BLUR apps and references from Charm? |

12152 | How to upgrade from one version of Cyanogenmod to another? | I am fairly new to rooting / putting custom ROMs on devices; I finally have my phone in a state that I like, after putting Cyanogenmod 7 on my HTC Desire Z. Since I've done this, there have been a few point releases, and a minor release is not far away. However, I don't really know how to upgrade from one version to another (and I couldn't find any instructions on how to do so). How do I upgrade from one version of Cyanogenmod to another? Is it the same process as installing it in the first place? Will I have to wipe all the data on my phone, as I did the first time? |

For example I can't use "WhatsApp" neither "Viber" where I can use "Facebook" and "Twitter" apps. My mobile phone is not rooted (and I don't want to root my phone as I don't want to lose the guaranty) and I don't have and firewall application. I can access the websites for the apps I mentioned that don't work, but I can't use the applications! Is there any default firewall installed by default on my mobile phone causing that ?

57991 | Exchange Calendar Auto-Reject | On my Android w/KitKat, I recently received an exchange/outlook event notification where I am supposed to click "Accept" "Maybe" or "Reject". I do not prefer to have these automatically integrated with my calendar. So I deleted the scheduled event and put my own event in, on my phone. This caused it to automatically send a "Reject" notice to the HR person at my work place and she complained like a 6 year old child to my boss, who in turn questioned it and then wondered why I became defensive about how childish and disrespectful it was that they would assume that I wouldn't attend this meeting (even though I will). Is there any way to either un-synchronize these scheduling requests from my calendar? Or at least make it so if I delete them, it won't send an auto- reject to the scheduler? |

26902 | Unable to boot Android in a multiboot PC configuration | I installed "android x86 4.0 rc1 asus_laptop iso" on `/sda3` (NTFS partition created in Windows 7) of my Advent Verona recently. I already run Windows 7 and Linux Mint 11 so was dual booting with GRUB. When I installed Android it took over the Mint bootloader and would not show Mint in its bootloader, but I was able to correct the problem, thereby getting the Mint loader back, through this site. However, this caused Android to disappear from the bootloader. I tried to get it to appear so I could load it from there and was able to do so using this information. I've been able to edit the file that makes you see all the OS on the laptop and I see all the three OSes now. I can load into Windows 7 and Linux Mint without problems but when I try to boot Android I get these errors on a black page: [numbers] VFS: could not find a valid V7 on sda3 [numbers] kernel panic - not syncing: vfs: unable to mount root fs on unknown block (8.3) [numbers] Pid. 1 comm: swapper not Tainted 3.0.8 android x86 asus_laptop Then it reboots after a few seconds.

It was suggested to me that I update my kernel and/or ROM. That seemed reasonable, so I did. I now have the latest kernel version and latest ROM. And now, after doing so, my GPS is completely unresponsive. So now I'm playing feature-whack-a-mole again. Something I was doing a while back when I could either have my compass or my WiFi, but not both. How do I get out of this? How do I get my GPS back and not be juggling every other feature on my phone? (... and I'm not even sure my USB problems are solved...) |

Debugging is enabled on the phone, and the USB driver from the Android SDK is installed. When I try to run in Eclipse I get a message that says 'No compatible targets were found'. I have previously used a Samsung Nexus S developer phone, and a Nexus 10 tablet with the USB driver from the Android SDK and it was not a problem. I have also debugged using my Samsung Galaxy S4 using the drivers from Samsung. I plug in the Nexus 4, and go to Device Manager. In Device Manager, the device is listed as Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface. I right-click and select 'Update Driver Software...', then 'Browse my computer for driver software'. I then point it to the '\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver' folder of my Eclipse/Android SDK install, but I am notified that 'The best driver software for your device is already installed'. I have tried uninstalling the driver, but as soon as I plug the phone back in, my computer automatically installs the driver, and when I go back in to Device Manager to 'Update Driver Software...', I am again told that 'The best driver software for your device is already installed'. And yet still, even after rebooting both my PC and the phone, when I try to run in Eclipse I am still notified that 'No compatible targets were found'. Any ideas? This device is completely useless to me unless I can get it to debug from Eclipse. A co-worker was able to get it to work just fine on his PC, and we have the exact same PC specs. Please help! |
68700 | How do I configure custom AdBlock Plus filter lists subscriptions? | Using a desktop PC version of AdBlock I can subscribe to any combination of filter lists, and so I do subscribing to EasyList + Czech, Russian and German lists (I am a polyglot user using many languages actively) as well as EasyPrivacy, Fanboy's Annoyances lists etc. But in the mobile AdBlock Plus I could only find a set of exclusive (choose- one) EasyList + a national list couples, not even featuring a Czech list at all. Needless to say I could neither find a way to set up custom filters of my own. Any ideas? |
68701 | 4.2.1 Full internal storage investigation | I'm having issues with my internal storage being very bloated up. See image. Using Drives, I have narrowed it down to the xbin folder in /system. There's nearly 600mb full of files. Can these be wiped. Any idea how I can free up my devices storage? P.S I have wiped DALVIK cache without much impact on this issue. I really don't want to have to format in CWM if it can be avoided. Thanks. http://i.imgur.com/uJI1Yme.png |
1980 | Is it possible to shut down all antennae except for the gps? | I am thinking of buying an Android phone soon (Probably Desire HD), and would like to use it to record hiking trips GPS data. All those run tracking apps seems just right to me, but I am looking for something that can run more than a few hours, so I figured that turning off the wifi/3g/cell antennae will give me a much longer battery life. Is it possible to achieve it easily? Maybe only with root access? |
49972 | When tethering, is there a way to turn off the phone's own data usage? | Just a quick question, really. When I'm tethering (via USB, or wireless, or whatever) my phone's apps (and there are a significant number of my apps which do this) are constantly using the phone's mobile data connection to push notifications. My phone's mobile connection is poor at the best of times (Samsung Galaxy S3 on o2 in the North East of England), such as now, where it's constantly flicking between G, E, H, H+ and 3G. As such, I'd like to effectively "disable" my phone for every purpose other than providing an internet connection my laptop via USB or wireless. Is that possible? |
49976 | How to disable cellular when WiFi is present? | I perform all my communication via the internet (Jabber, SIP), so I only need cellular as a backup. Additionally, coverage at my home is near to nonexistent and as a result, battery drains in a few hours (as opposed to few days when GSM is disabled). Is there an app for disabling cellular communication _entirely_ (airplane mode) if a WiFi network is present, and enabling it otherwise? I'm not interested in solutions which disable just the data connection: Android handles that already. I'm OK with solutions which require rooting, rebuilding Android, etc. |
68709 | Can android AVD emulator run within VMWare? | Hi I am running Windows 8 in VMWare Workstation 9 and I wanted to setup an android development environment, I installed Java the ADK and Android studio. When I create an AVD and try to start it it appears as a black screen with buttons pane. I think the problem is that I can't run an emulator within another emulator, but I just wanted to check in case anyone else has been successful. The errors it shows are: Failed to create pbuf surface for FB 0x3004 emulator: WARNING: Could not initialize OpenglES emulation, using software renderer. extension WGL_ARB_make_current_read was not found extension WGL_EXT_swap_control was not found I had difficulty searching for this because the results tend to be people trying to setup an android VM as a standalone, rather than running android development emulator in a Windows 8 VM like my setup. Thanks |
48083 | Add Share option without an app? | Is it possible to install/setup a new sharing option without the use of an app? In my case I'd like to be able to share photos to Flickr, but I have no interest in installing the Flickr app (or any other app whatsoever, for that matter). |
48082 | What determines the order of my contacts on the frequent contact toolbar? | I am seeing a contact in recently contacted friends in whatsapp to whom I have not sent a message for a week now. All the other contacts are chronologically arranged except for him. Why is this happening? Is it that he is spying on me and my phone is sending him my history automatically? Or is it normal to be so? |
48085 | Whatsapp doesn't work over 3G,everything else works fine | A friend has a factory fresh, unrooted Samsung Galaxy S Duos, and except for Whatsapp every other internet accessing app works fine on a 3G or EDGE connection. She has un/reinstalled Whatsapp several times. It works fine over Wifi. She's no power user, so any solution involving rooting the phone is not an option. To clarify - there is nothing wrong with 3G or EDGE on her phone, since she can browse the internet and use other such apps perfectly fine. **Update** \- She's on Vodafone, as I and thousands of people in India are, and no, Vodafone is not blocking Whatsapp for any reason. Searching for solutions on Google only leads to 'No shit, Sherlock!' type answers with genius level solutions like 'check whether your 3G connection is working' or 'get the latest version of Whatsapp'. So is there a workaround? |
39265 | How can I eliminate duplicate notifications when I have a custom notification on a Gmail label? | I've set up a custom notification on a particular Gmail label (call it [special]). However, when an email with the [special] tag arrives, I get a notification for both the [inbox] and [special]. The audio notification plays the first half-second or so of the mailbox notification, and then switches to the [special] notification. In the notification bar, I get two Gmail icons, both with the same message when I slide the notifications open. Without removing the [inbox] label from these messages, is there a way to eliminate the duplicate notifications? I'm on 4.0.4. |
48086 | HTC One V really slow | I bought my HTC One V exactly one year ago, at first everything went really smoothly and it worked like a charm. It didn't take long before the phone crashed from an `unexpected error`. The phone spent most of the time in my pocket then, I would notice it because it vibrates then or the next time there would be that error-sign in the upper left corner. I started living with the fact it sometimes shut itself down, but now the messaging app is beginning to lag: When I want to send a message (or make a call), it happens that I cannot see my contacts. (which are imported from Google) But it could also be that I have to wait a minute or more because the messages for that contact are loading. How can I fix these problems with my phone? My Android version is 4.0.3 |
48089 | Force a download manager not to manage downloads | I have a nexus 7 and I use chrome on it for my browser. I have a download manager installed, and I use it to download files by URL. However, it has usurped the downloading of chrome, and I like chrome's way of downloads better. Can I change the default download opener in chrome? (I'm running Jelly Bean 4.2) |

2817 | Good clock and weather widget for someone dealing with multiple timezones / cities | I work for a big corporate with development centers around the world. There are 4 in particular that I interact with frequently and travel to regularly. What I'd like is a clock and weather widget with the following features: * Can have multiple instances set to different cities. * Shows the city it is set to. * Can fit 4 on a page, so 2x2 or 4x1. * Shows time (for dealing with meetings) * Graphical indicator of day night (for a quick are they likely to be awake check) * Shows local weather (for small talk on phone calls) * Including highs and lows (in case I have to go there tomorrow) * In Celsius (because I'm not American) The Beautiful Widgets "Beautiful Smaller Home Weather" is visually spot on what I'm after, but you can't have multiple instances. Is there another widget out there that meets my requirements? |
36413 | Reduce in call volume | I'm using Jelly Bean on my Samsung Galaxy Note. Plus I'm running Ultimate Rom v5.1 as mu ROM. The problem is minimum In-Call Volume is too high even though I have reduced it. How can I reduce that in call volume than the minimum level? |

29485 | Google Playstore force-closes | I have a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet. I cleaned up some applications, deleting them via settings, and now I receive an error message when I open some applications. The message reads > The application Google Play Store (`process.com.android.vending`) has > stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. This error keeps appearing, usually three or four times with option of forcing close or reporting error. Maybe I uninstalled some key file that I needed unknowingly. I cant find anything on updating this application or reinstalling factory setting only for this. Can anyone help? |
2819 | How do I send Bluetooth audio from the Stereo (A2DP) to Headset (HSP) profile? | I have a stereo Bluetooth headset. When paired and connected, both the Phone and Media profiles are supported. I can hear Google Maps Navigation voice directions in the headset. However, if I uncheck the Media profile (I am using the the media profile to connect to an iPod touch), then the voice directions come out of the speaker. I want them to come over the headset. From this, I assume that the phone wants to send the voice directions to the A2DP if the headset supports it, and to the speaker if the headset does not support A2DP. Is there any way to configure the Phone (Bell's Samsung Galaxy S) so the voice turn-by-turn directions are sent to the HSP (headset) profile (where to audio for cell phones voice calls is directed)? Although I haven't tried it, I assume this problem exists for simple non-media headsets that only support HSP. |

54364 | Can I unlock my Razr M (Verizon) for international use? | I have a Verizon Razr M that was given to me for free. It's a Verizon model, but it has never seen a network. (I use it as an WiFI android iPod touch for now) I know about CDMA/GSM/4G and all that. But doesn't it have a 3G radio for roaming? I don't need it to ever hit 4G/LTE/CDMA, but it would be nice to have it see 3G networks for me to drop a cheapo SIM into when I go out. Is this possible, or is this hardwired into the baseband with no hope for me. Are there unlock codes for this? I'm new to rooting android,, but a root doesn't seem to help unless I can reflash the baseband. Thanks. |

24226 | Convert number in call log to Gmail Contact | When I get a call from some number I know I want to convert it into a contact. I expected to be able to do something like long press, then type the contact name, but when I long press and select add to contacts, it just kind of disappears into my contact list. I'm sure everyone does this all the time, and so I am missing a really obvious way, but perhaps someone can enlighten me how to do this easily.

62274 | Enable LTE on Google Nexus 7 (2013) LTE tablet | I have a brand new Google Nexus 7 (2013) LTE tablet and failed or enabling LTE on it. I had two cards (microSIM for Nexus and nanoSIM for iPad Mini) from the very same LTE-enabled local (Poland) carrier Aero2. Both are inserted to respectful devices, both devices are in the same place (same network coverage) and iPad Mini catches LTE signal (and its amazing speed) with no problems, while my Nexus falls back to HSPA+ at most, only sometimes uses 3G and never runs on LTE. Is there any extra switch on this particular device or Android system (was on iPad Mini) to enable LTE? **EDIT** : Of course, I followed step-by-step guide on this subject available at _Google Nexus Help_. |
79072 | Prevent a particular wi-fi spot from trying to connect automatically | At my work, there's a "guest" wifi spot and one for employees. The one for employees connects normally, but the guest one requires a log-in process each time, so obviously I just want to use the former. This creates a problem, though, because sometimes my phone finds the guest network first, and so to get access I need to go to settings and explicitly tell it to connect to the same one. Annoying. I'd like to have my phone auto-connect to networks in general, but not to the guest network. However, I can't find a setting option for autoconnect broken down by network. Any ideas. I'm on a Moto X with Android version: 4.4.4 |

58460 | Rooting A Nexus 5 and Concerns Regarding Over The Air Updates? | I am planning on buying a Nexus 5 for Christmas, to which I intend to Root it, so that I can use Rooted Apps eg Titanium Backup which would otherwise be unavailable to me. If I root the device, but do not flash a custom rom or kernel, and instead keep stock android KitKat 4.4. :- What happens when an OTA update occurs from Google ie to 4.4.1? Do I lose Root and Rooted Apps ? (Correct me if i'm wrong, if I Root the Nexus 5 and flash a custom rom, then the OTA updates would come from the XDA Developer for the specific custom rom you are using, rather than from Google). |
28570 | How can I monitor the device battery consumption? | I need information about which applications or hardware features discharge the battery. Built-in Android option for this doesn't fit because not all devices have it. Also it would be a great advantage if the solution would send statistics via email. |
79079 | Does turning WiFi on and off use more power than it being constantly on for a set amount of time? | So, often battery saving apps switch off WiFi when not connected to "save battery" (obviously). However, my question is this: if I was only out of the house for a couple of minutes, out of range of the WiFi, would turning it on and off be beneficial? In fluorescent light tubing, for example, leaving the light on is often more energy efficient than turning it off, only to turn it on again when returning a minute later. So, does the same apply to WiFi, or is WiFi being on less power consuming than turning it on and off? This might seem a stupid question, but – of course – I do what I can to save my battery life and in asking this question I am trying to better my battery saving techniques; there is nothing worse than your phone dying when waiting on a reply from someone. Is there any way to statistically prove either side or is it too "obvious" for analysis to be required? Note: My phone is an LG Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.4. EDIT: I believe the WiFi chip that the Nexus 5 uses is the "BCM4339 Wi-Fi Chip" manufactured by Broadcom, if this is of any help. Also, I am not looking for suggestions of other ways to extend my battery life, just an answer to my specific question. I have considered buying a power bank and other such products, but I'd preferably not have to carry these around, and simply have my phone's battery last an entire day. Thank you for any contribution. |

I'd like to merge the contacts so that I only have one entry for this person but with the combined information. I don't want to have to copy the information manually between the accounts.

I am wondering how this could be accomplished. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (toro) with Verizon Wireless. **Update:** This device does _NOT_ have an actual SD card and I believe the only way to do it is through: "adb shell" ( _BEFORE_ system boots (i.e. inside of recovery mode), this way /sdcard is _NOT_ mounted and it's possible to perform checks on it in read/write mode) |
