11760 | Can I remove all these garbage apps without rooting the phone? | I just got a Samsung Galaxy 2 from Docomo in Japan. The only thing I don't like about it is that it came with about a million pre- installed apps, 99% of which are just garbage that clutter my application list. I'm not just talking about a few that I don't like, I'm talking about so many that I have to scroll through pages to get at the apps I want. I was unable to uninstall a handful by going to the Market and simply opting to uninstall. However, with all the rest, the uninstall button is greyed out. Can I remove these apps without rooting the phone, and if so how? If I have to root the phone, is that possible with my model? |
408 | How can you uninstall an app that you didn't install on your Droid? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > How can I uninstall applications that are locked by phone vendor? I want to uninstall the facebook app, as I don't use facebook. The phone won't let me uninstall that app. I have a Droid Eris and a Motorola Droid. I want to get rid of it from both these phones. |
45341 | LG P710 Optimus L7 II keep turning off the WiFi | I just bought my first Android phone, a LG P710 Optimus L7 II. I love it. Just one problem. For some reason, when i haven't used the phone for a little while, the WiFi disconnects. In Settings> WiFi> Advanced the 'Keep WiFi on during sleep' is set to 'Always'. So i don't understand why it turns itself off. Any help would be fantastic Thanks |
45340 | Wow, my Android OS used 1.75GB in 5 days | I just purchased a samsung galaxy s2 from Virgin Mobile on the 7th of May 2013. Have it activated on the 8th of May 2013. Can anyone tell me why my Android OS would have used up 1.75 GB of data in that amount of time. Not to mention the slow data speeds I am receiving I could barely download anything unless I waited a very long time and had very poor internet connections. was constantly getting webpage not available every time I used the Google search. Have had many conversations with virgin mobile to no avail. Can anyone help or at least explain to me what is happening here? |

5248 | What is the Practical difference between the Home screen and the Launcher screen? | It seems that on my Nexus One, the home screen and launcher screen essentially serve the same purpose: Host application icons, allowing you to launch them.

40265 | Installing Nexus Images on other devices | I am absolutely noob in Android hacking, though I am quite good in doing techie stuff. Now I have got my first mobile Karbonn A5+. It has 1GHz processor and 431 MB ROM+RAM. It runs Gingerbread. As usual it doesnt get updates. I really want to taste JellyBean on it. So while googling for the same, I found this thread. It instructs to install clean nexus images from here. Can I able to install the same on my mobile following the same instructions? |
14300 | Where's the 8pen Preview Popup? | I just purchased the 8pen keyboard last night, and one frustration I'm having is that I keep having to look around my finger to figure out where the next letter is. I found this blog post from November saying that the keyboard was now free and also updated to, among other things, include a preview popup that would show where the letters are. The bit about the app being free is definitely outdated, as there is no free app on the marketplace and the links it includes are dead. It would seem that the preview popup is also gone. I'm hoping someone can help me either to get the preview popup in my version (2.0.3), or help me find the version that has the preview popup. |
14306 | Can't Add Shortcuts to Home Screen, get Shunted to Folder | I recently started using folders to organize my apps, but I've noticed since then that I can not add any shortcuts to the homescreen. If I try to drop an item on the home screen, it instead gets put into a folder (apparently at random, no less). This happens even if I drop the icon on a completely empty screen with no folders. If I drag the app out of the folder back to the home screen and drop it, it goes to a different folder instead. Running Android 2.3.5 |
14305 | What's the name of the protocol that android devices use in debug mode? | I have a strange Android prototype what we got from a customer. Said customer has forgotten about it, and I'm now fiddling with it to see if I can make it do anything interesting. The device appears to be the same family as the Acer beTouch. It used to boot fine, but while trying to make it go into fastboot mode it has stopped booting correctly at all. Now it boots up into some weird debug mode. If I plug it in to USB, it shows up on my Linux box as a /dev/ttyACM0 port via Linux's USB modem driver. However, it's _not_ a modem. If I connect to it via a serial terminal and press RETURN it responds with: OK If I type anything else and press return, I get: NOTSUPPORTED So, it's not a Hayes modem. It's not Android's fastboot or adb protocols. hwinfo tried to probe it but didn't get anything. Since it's a USB device, I can't get any messages that appears on startup. I've done evil things with a whole bunch of Android devices but I've never seen this before. Anyone recognise it? (Tips on how to make it boot again would be useful, too; I _have_ found recovery mode --- CALL+VOLUP+POWER, for reference --- but factory resetting it does nothing. I haven't found fastboot yet.) **Update:** I was wrong! It _is_ a Hayes modem. It just doesn't understand any commands. So: AT OK But: ATI0 NOTSUPPORTED I can't find any commands that make it do anything, not even `AT&V` or `ATS0=0`. Which is weird. I don't know why the phone is booting into this mode; probably something's wrong with the root filesystem. Don't suppose anyone knows a magic Android Hayes command to get a root shell, or reboot into recovery or fastboot, or _anything_ that I could try? |
14309 | Get profile photo to Android contact manager for non-friend contact from Facebook | I would like to know if is possible import a Facebook profile photo to contact manager for contacts which **I don't have in my friend list** on Facebook.

14308 | update.zip that backs up my device? | Does anyone happen to have a (signed) update.zip package that when installed via recovery mode, copies the contents of SYSTEM:, DATA: etc to the SD card?

10226 | Email Priority with MS Exchange account | I'm new to the Android world. Just got a corp phone (Moto Atrix w/2.2 froyo). I have my MS Exchange account set up on the phone and get tons of email all hours of the night. Most emails can wait until I get in the office in the morning, but some are VERY important and need to be read the minute they come in. Is it possible to give certain emails a higher alert level than others? Like say my boss emails me and I need to answer it at 3AM. Can I give my bosses email address priority 1 email alert (BING BING BING) and every other email I get level 3 priority (bing)? Thanks for any help |
45960 | Do Android devices become slower with time? | I own a Galaxy S (2.3.5 / GT-I9000 / BVJV3) and use it since two and a half years. I also have bought more recent hardware, like an iPad Mini and a more recent Android tablet, which comparatively are much more reactive. So I was wondering if the slowness of my device was just a feeling, or if devices actually become less responsive with time ? The phone is always lagging (click sounds always a second behind), running the basic functions of the phone (messages, phone, contacts) always need a good 4 seconds to actually show on screen, returning to the home screen sometimes takes 5 to 10 seconds while it's doing something to the icons. A game like Pudding Monsters is bacically unplayable, but I didn't expect this phone to run recent games. |
45963 | How to make packages from f-droid to be treated as from a "known source" (if I have root)? | I usually get packages from http://f-droid.org/ repository through their package browser (because then I have a guarantee that I use free (= libre) software); and they are signed with their key. I use CyanogenMod 10; and I have root access. I don't like allowing packages from "unknown sources" for this. Can I set up the system so that f-droid counts as a known source, and packages from all other unknown sources are not allowed to be installed by default as before. Perhaps, something can be patches in the CyanogenMod distro to add f-droid's key as a key for a "known source" of packages. |

If not, what is really being erased when a factory reset is done? |
17963 | Screen-casting/screen-capturing the camera view (appears black) | For demoing an Augmented Reality app, I would like to do a screencast of the Android device's screen (HTC Desire S). The open source project androidscreencast works fine, except for the camera view. The overlays on top of the camera show through, but the actual camera view itself just shows up black. I have the same issue with the ddms tool that comes with the Android SDK - I can capture the screen, except for the camera view which appears black. Here's the image I get using the ddms tool if I try to capture the screen when I have the normal camera app running: http://twitpic.com/83uztm Please does anyone know why this is and how to get around it? Is it some kind of security feature, or a bug? I came across something earlier that looked like a code workaround someone had come up with, but I don't have access to the app's underlying source code, so I need a non-programming method of getting this to work. |
66930 | Where can I see who got my broadcast message? | I've created a broadcast message for 7 users and sent it. Some of them replied to me, but others not. I am not sure if other did not see the message yet or they don't have me in their address book. Now, in the chats list I see a megaphone icon representing broadcast message. Inside I can see all 7 users and **1 tick** next to the message text (meaning the message was sent to users). If I click Menu->Broadcast list info, I will get a list of recipients but **without any trace of who read/got the message**. I see people on Win7/Win8 phone have ticks there as well so they know who read/got their broadcast messages. Where is such feature in Android version? Am I blind or what?! :) |
66933 | S3 Planner/Calendar all entries disappeared | I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android version 4.3. I have always used the S Planner app that appears on the home screen.

It was no different and I decided I liked the S Planner app more and I uninstalled the Google Calendar app. Now my S Planner is empty. I have re- installed the Google Calendar app and that is empty too. Help? |

Is there a way I can confirm this is happening and if so, stop it? |
15814 | Why are some apps on the market incompatible with my device? | I own a Motorola Flipout, Android 2.1 stock ROM. According to the market the app "Handyticket Deutschland" is not compatible with my phone. The required Android version is 1.5 or above. How can I tell why the app will not work for me?  The Flipout has a comparably small screen. Is it possible that the publisher just forgot to mark my phone's display resolution as supported? Note: Users from outside Germany see a different message. I believe, those country-restriction are unrelated. |

58959 | Why is Android app not compatible | My son's got a Kurio 7 tablet. I've installed the Amazon App Store on it and noticed not all apps are compatible. Bad Piggies for example won't install. The Amazon App Store says its not compatible with his device. Why is that? Bad Piggies is supposed to support Android 2.2 and the Kurio 7 has Android 4. Other than that it doesn't say anything about the requirements. What other things can make an Android device incompatible with some apps? |
25222 | Override PlayStore Application Android Minimal version requirement? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > How can I tell the Android Market that I'm running an updated version of > Android? In fact, I installed an higher Android version on my phone (4.0 on a ZTE Blade which normally supports 2.1). But when I'm connecting to the market with my phone, I'm still limited to that 2.1 version and I can't even see higher version's applications while my phone now supports those... Is there a way of overriding that version limitation or at least push it to 4.0 ??

I'm **not trying to make Instagram work** on my tablet. I'm trying to find a way to install the apps from the Play Store.  How and where does Google Play performs a compatibility check on my device?

9453 | Why does "Google Services" take up increasing RAM and spawn new services over time? | I have a rooted OG Droid which I install custom ROMs to frequently. I've noticed in all builds of Froyo and Gingerbread that I've tried, over time of being on, certain services will take up more RAM and spawn new processes. Specifically I've noticed that Google Services does this consistently. Initially it'll take maybe 7MB of RAM and only have 1 process (com.google.process.gapps). But after a good 10+ hours it'll spawn Android Core Apps (android.process.acore) and Calendar Storage (com.android.providers.calendar). Currently it's sitting at 21MB of usage. This memory is never reclaimed and the phone will bog down as the internal Android task killer has to kill tasks more frequently. I eventually have to reboot. Why does this happen and can I fix it? |

48875 | Is there such a thing as touchscreen calibration | I have bought a generic touchscreen replacement ( **not the actual screen** where pixels are drawn, but rather the **touch sensor** where touches are captured) for my Defy/MB525, and replaced it myself. It doesn't work, it seems to register many random touches in a few seconds (while the charger is disconnected, and no screen protection films are present).

63272 | Phone restarting nonstop | My phone started rebooting all by itself all the time after I did 2 things with it. Installed Snapdragon BatteryGuru and put it on learning mode (for an estimated 3 days I guess) so that I could start saving battery by the app learning my behavior, and cleaned RAM with CleanMaster. These were the only changes I've done, I don't remember which was first but soon my phone started rebooting whether I was handling it or not at random intervals. I've also noticed the phone was hot all the time, the Note 3 runs into some hot period with some frequency but not with that frequency. I've uninstalled both apps and it didn't work, wiped cache and it didn't work. The phone was still rebooting even on safe mode. After I wiped Dalvik with the help of TWRP, I thought the problem went away but when I hit the power button to turn the screen off, the phone rebooted and it will now always reboot when the screen turns off, even if it's just from the phone being inactive. It doesn't boot- loops, it just reboots, then after a random time, can be seconds, can be half an hour, it will reboot again. Note 3 SM-N9003 VJUBMI6. |

Just for the record -- let's say I leave phone charging for 8 hours, it will charge to 100% in 2 hours, so for the last 6 hours would be over charging. I used dumb phones (Nokias) this way for years, and nothing bad happened. I did it few times with Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, but after I heard some rumor it could damage the phone I try to disconnect the phone once it reaches 100%. Yesterday after 5 minutes of over charging the battery dropped from 100% to 77% in few hours in pure stand-by mode (no net, no gps, no calls, nothing, just waiting for action). No wonder I am now afraid of the battery life and also interested in getting **facts**. So far I found only just statements -- in case of iPhone "overcharging means no harm", in case of Android "oh God, no, it will ruin your battery". So -- can over charging damage battery? I am only interested in **facts** (no "no/yes" answers please, explanation "why" is needed here) and/or also long- standing experience. _I am interested in this issue, because as developer I will connect phone to computer for longer than 2 hours, and charging is unavoidable._ |
9336 | Is it OK to leave my Samsung Galaxy Ace charging all the time? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Does constant charging harm my cellphone? Hello! I have the Samsung Galaxy Ace but the battery life is a bit of a problem for me. Can I leave it plugged in ie. charging all the time and just take it out when I need to? Or will I damage it? Many thanks Best RD x |

46810 | Is it safe to keep Android charging through USB all day? | When I'm in front of the computer, I always keep my Android phone plugged into a USB cable so it's always at a 100% charge and I can type text messages from the convenience of my PC keyboard. Still, I was wondering if charging a battery when it's already 100% charged hurts: Will it "wear out", ie. won't hold as long? Generally speaking, is there a good article that explains how to charge and use the main types of batteries? For instance, I seem to remember that some batteries must never be left below 20% charge. FWIW, I upgraded the original battery in my Samsung Galaxy Nexus to a slightly bigger Li-Ion 1900mAh. Thank you. |

50844 | Mysterious "Installation Failed" and reboots | Non-programmer here. I've noticed recently a message popping up on my 4.1.2 Galaxy S3 running stock firmware (except I have root) build number JZO54K.T999UVDMD5. This was happening before I rooted it and before I installed DroidWall in an attempt to prevent any uncommanded activity. "Installation Failed" is what it says. I've also happened to have observed it restarting a few times when I was not touching it. I installed aLogcat today and set it to "Events" so that hopefully I will get more information. Any suggestions on how to learn more about what's up would be appreciated. |

Funambol? > Sync to my own server for contacts, sms and notes? Has anyone been able to setup a home server as a replacement for Google Sync?

8928 | Is there a Google-less "personal cloud" for contacts, calendar, tasks and images sync? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Suggestions for syncing data to someone besides Google? Funambol? The idea is to cut Google's (or other 3rd-party) proprietary bits out of an Android installation, while retaining the benefits of "cloud" computing. For most things there are open-source alternatives: SK for keyboard, K-9 Mail for e-mail, etc. However, for the core "cloud" services like Contacts and Calendar, all replacements that I've seen simply redirect you to their own closed and proprietary cloud servers. From a quick search around the web, the closest open-source alternative is Funambol's client/server solution. I was wondering if anyone's had any luck setting up their own instance of a "personal cloud" of sorts using this or a similar package, and successfully using it to sync contacts data to an Android device. Bonus points if there is a package for use with a Synology NAS drive :) |
8824 | How to sync an Android phone with anything other than Google? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Suggestions for syncing data to someone besides Google? Funambol? As I understand, the Android phone can only sync with Google (GMail, Google Calendar, etc.) out of the box. I can imagine corporate users having a problem with their data residing on Google's servers — despite their "do no evil" credo. Is there any Android application that lets you sync with the desktop (either Linux or Windows) or corporate server applications (think Exchange)? |
29199 | Sync to my own server for contacts, sms and notes? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Suggestions for syncing data to someone besides Google? Funambol? Does anyone know any effort on Android which can sync contacts, sms or even notes/todos to my own server? I saw similar function on Samsung GS3 "Add account" settings page but not sure how it works. All advice are appreciated. Preferably open source projects. Thanks! |

I would connect the phone via an usb cable and I would like to be able to route and share my pc's internet through it to and back from my laptop.

How could I use my phone as an wifi adapter? **EDIT** To make it more clear, here is what I mean: I have: * "PC A" with internet over ADSL. no wifi. * my phone, it has an usb cable and a wifi chipset. * "PC B" with wifi What I would like to do us **to use PC A's internet on PC B, with the help of my phone**. Connect Internet to PC A, then connect my phone to PC A, then connect PC B to my phone via Wifi, and use PC A's internet on PC B.

Although, I can't say I fully understand the `adb ppp` command I found on SO: `adb ppp "shell:pppd nodetach noauth noipdefault /dev/tty" nodetach noauth noipdefault notty localip:remoteip` There might even be some voodoo with adb forward? |

I'm trying to reverse tether my Android phone. I'd like it to use my PC connection. Many guides on the net say that I should root my phone, but I don't want to do that. What I would like to happen: * connect Android to the Internet via wireless * attach to PC via USB, in "tethering usb mode" * PC is already connected to the Internet in another way (cable) * when I disconnect the wireless connection on the Android phone, then the Android phone uses the connection of my PC With no internet connection on my phone I can't connect successfully to the PC.

54786 | How to hard reboot the Nexus 7 (2013) when touchscreen is dysfunctional? | I am using the Nexus 7 (2013) with the latest standard firmware from Google and today I encountered a weird problem. When I turn the device on, the display lights up and all. I can also put it to sleep again. However, the touch screen does not work. Tilting the device also causes the automatic change from portrait to landscape mode and vice versa. Holding down the power button brings up the "shutdown menu", but since the touchscreen isn't working, I cannot tell it to shut down. For the moment I am left to discharge the battery (it's also not sleeping automatically anymore, so it's faster) until it shuts down by itself gracefully or dies. Any way of doing a hardware reset? Connecting via USB doesn't help, because I have USB debugging disabled by default. |
