28725 | Why is Caller ID not working since 4.0.4 update on Droid 4? | I have a Samsung Droid 4. I keep all information about my contacts in Google Voice. In the past, this has always worked seamlessly. However, since my phone updated it's operating system to version 4.0.4 last week, caller ID is no longer working. When people call me now, their telephone number shows up on the phone's screen. However, it doesn't match that phone number to their name from my contact list. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? What is the fix? Why did this happen? |

However, the app still uses the old ui with the 3d carousel, despite reporting a version number of 4.1.23. I had this same issue when running various versions of AOKP. Any thoughts? |

55005 | Deleting or listing least frequently played songs in Google Play Music | I'm starting to hit the limits of my storage space. My device is mostly filled with music, so I'd like to remove songs I don't listen to anymore, without having to painfully scroll down the list and delete them one by one. Does Google Play Music have some way to at least list the least frequently played songs, or is there an additional music management app I should know about? |
73296 | "Gmail has stopped" dialog | On my Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2, I get constantly a dialog saying "Gmail has stopped" (In french, actually : "Gmail s'est arrêté"). When I click OK, the message re-opens within less than a second. I tried to restart my device, to no avail. I still get the message. Anyone knows a solution? Edit: just an update on how things started: I wanted to kill a bunch of tasks and ran Advanced Task Killer. I probably left Gmail selected and so killed it with the tasks I wanted to get rid of. And all hell broke lose... |
73293 | Magnetic compass correction | After updating to Android 4.4.3 the magnetic compass deviates by 90 degrees. This is more than a lttle bit and recalibrating did not help. Q1: Is this a common problem? Q2: Is there a fix or workaround? |
73291 | Is Qi / wireless charging safe? Heightened temperature not an issue? (Nexus 7) | A friend of mine told me, like it was a fact, that qi (wireless) charging is not safe and it damages battery because it heats it. I just bought one charger, but would like to avoid damaging my Nexus. Could not find out any information about it on the internet though, which makes me even more sceptical, that it just might be a rumour of some kind. I am currently charging right now and it is getting kind of warm. The temperature according to a system monitor is just 32 degree Celsius. Seems normal to me. |

23811 | ICS messes up Hebrew text display on Galaxy S2 | Follow up from this question... I just installed ICS on my Galaxy S2, and now the Hebrew display is messed up - the _nekudot_ are displayed slightly to the left of the letter to which they are supposed to apply. In my previous question I already did a hard reset, so that's not the answer. Here's a screenshot where you can see clearly how all the _nekudot_ are shifted to the left:  Any idea how to fix this? |
23815 | Media volume automatically goes to zero when removing headphones | Whenever I remove the headphone jack1 while I have some media playing2, the file stops (which is what I want and expect) but the media volume also goes down to zero (which is unexpected and I would prefer not to happen). If I pause the media file before removing the headphone jack this does not occur. Is this a setting I missed? Is there a way I can prevent it from happening, or do I simply need to remember to pause before removing the jack? * * * 1 Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0.4 (although this also happened with 4.0.2). 2 I have observed this with DoggCatcher and Google Music. |

65848 | What the heck is wrong with my photos? | So ... I got this puppy. And he's _cute_ so I want to post pictures of him on the internet. I realize we could have a very long conversation about whether or not anyone wants to look at photos of my dang puppy, but I just want help uploading them. I am pretty sure the problem is the photos -- but if I try to upload them via the Tumblr App, it fails silently (no post is made, no error logged). Text posts go up just fine. If I try to go through the browser, I get an error: `error uploading photo` that doesn't clarify much. If I email myself the photo and edit it in an editor I can post it but that's not a great workflow. Has anyone else experienced this? Are there workarounds? I have an aging Samsung Galaxy S. Note: I tried opening a few phone camera photos on my laptop (in ImageMagick) and I'm getting a weird error. It is basically the same for the three photos: Corrupt JPEG data: 1136 extraneous bytes before marker 0xd9 Corrupt JPEG data: 1129 extraneous bytes before marker 0xd9 Corrupt JPEG data: 1128 extraneous bytes before marker 0xd9 Why would my phone take corrupt photos? |

27121 | How to partition SD card in HTC One X? | I was trying to create `ext2`/`ext3`/`ext4` partitions on the SD card. I tried ClockworkMod recovery and it didn't work. Nothing seems to have happened. I also tried using MiniTool and that also failed. I tried both Disk Utility and GParted in Ubuntu and it still didn't work. For MiniTool, Disk Utility, and GParted, after I finished partitioning the partitions showed up on the computer OK, but when USB's disconnected the One X says that the SD card's corrupted. Has anybody done this? Or is there some other way to solve this? Or maybe it's not possible because the SD card is built-in? Thanks! * * * After some more playing around, it seems that the problem might be something related to a partition table. When there's no partition table, it works fine, but after I add a partition table it seems that the phone can't recognize the SD card anymore. |
65845 | How to enable double-click | Is it possible to do double-click on Android like you do on a regular computer? Some websites require double-click to operate, and I was hoping I could do the same on Android and get a computer double-click behavior instead of Android double tap zoom. |

65842 | Move Files To SD Card | I have an Android Blu Studio 5.5 Device. By default, unlike the Galaxy devices, I'm allowed to install apps to SD Card (64GB). My question is the following. Is there an app that displays all files (downloads, logs, pictures, other downloads, etc) on device and says "Click here to safely move all memory on device to SD Card? By memory I mean files. I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything that's on my device because I literally want everything on my external SD Card. |
65843 | How to modify a system configuration file on Android? | On an Android device I would like to modify /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf with as minimal side effects to the rest of the device as possible. (there are unexposed APIs in Android framework) Is it possible to just use a command line su executable to get permissions to modify the file? Can I do this without an unlocked boot loader?

25417 | HTC Desire - where are my photos | I was low on battery and my neice installed a programed to assist (can not remember the program). However she changed all my images onto my sd card. After that I assumed I lost all my old images as I could not find them. :( I removed my SD card to reset the phone and relised that one of the photos is showing on the gallery. Also my screen saver is also an old photo. However I can not access the photo as it says to installed the SD card. The problem is when I installed the SD card the images are not there. My niece does recall she changed something to say to save all the images onto the SD card, however sge can not remember if it was on the phone or part of the program. The issue is that I deleted the program when I realised i was still low on battery. Is there somewhere on the HTC desire that I can change images from the SD card as I can not find it. |
25411 | Can I update my android system although the USB port is broken? | The USB port of my LG-p500 is not capable of exchanging data anymore (the device or any `dmesg` do not show up when connected to a computer). Charging still works, fortunately. Due to some annoying software bugs (Android 2.2, original LG supplied), I'd like to update the operating system to a newer Android version. Do I have any chance to upgrade? \---- EDIT ---- For completeness, I include a screen of the update notification screen (Menu -> Update notification). It says it is updated, but the version V10R_00 was the one supplied initially with the phone. Furthermore, it tells me to connect it to the _PC suite_ , a LG software.  |

75868 | How can I permanently disable (not uninstall) a stock app? | I want to disable some of the stock apps that I don't use (e.g. Drive, Keep). These are stock Android/Google apps, not third-party apps. When I attempt to disable them: * I get a warning that disabling them may break things (I accept) * I get a request asking if I want to install the factory version (I accept, because if I don't, they are not disabled) * they are removed from the apps menu * when I restart the device, the newer version is downloaded and the app is no longer disabled As a side note, other users on the same device (with their own accounts) may want use some of these apps. Can I disable them for my account only? If it matters, I'm running KitKat on a Nexus 7 (2012). * * * Disambiguation: I have not found a duplicate of this question because it is: a) about stock Android apps, not so-called stock apps from a third-party vendor b) about disabling these apps, which the system at first permits me to do, not uninstalling them |

32111 | Samsung Galaxy S Plus formatted itself | The past couple of days my Galaxy S Plus started lagging, and today all of sudden it got stuck. When I restarted it the phone was completely wiped, had no apps, no contacts, nothing. Now when I try installing any app it just says "Downloading" but nothing happens - nothing gets installed. I have no idea what is happening. Could some one tell me what I should do? It was on stock firmware when is locked up. I tried a soft reset; after clicking "Erase everything" nothing happens, it just shows the factory reset title on top and blank screen below.   I also tried a hard reset without success. I took out the battery then held home volume up and power together while powering it on, but it just shows on screen "Ram Dump mode" and some other stuff. No menu shows up.  |
32118 | How can I save photos that I take with my Android's camera in a lossless format? | How can I save the images captured with my Android's camera in RAW or TIFF format? Are there any apps, ROM/kernel Modifications or other methods that will allow me to accomplish this? Technically I need to be able to save the RAW data or at least save them as TIFFs ~~however I am also open saving them as PNGs if RAW and TIFF are out of the question~~. Converting the natively saved jpegs to TIFF ~~or PNG~~ is not a suitable option for me. I have seen this question that states that RAW is not possible, however it is over a year old and I'm hoping something may have changed. I'm also broadening the scope to include other "lossless" options. I'm currently using a vzw version of the GS3 that is rooted and running a custom ROM. I regularly use the built in camera, Camera Zoom FX and Camera 360 and none of these seem to be capable of saving lossless images. **UPDATE:** I just found out that PNG does not save EXIF information so it is no longer a suitable option. |
56065 | Touchpad buttons do not respond after flashing Kernel | I flashed a new ROM and Kernel on my Galaxy Player 5.0 USA version (YP-G70). I since then tried several kernels and the capacitive buttons (Menu/Home/Back - no physical buttons - just part of the bottom of the touch screen). The light does turn on along with screen, but not when touching the buttons themselves, in other words, it's like the buttons are dead. The kernel I installed is certainly the US version. I tried many types of Kernels and the problem still resists. Could it be the ROM? Any advice??? |

56067 | Partially dead digitizer - any way to change slide to unlock? | The middle third (long-narrow thirds way) of my digitizer seems to have crapped out. Diagnosed from having vary hard time unlocking and weird selection issues, to suspecting digitizer, to getting a drawing program installed and seeing no record of movement over that part of the screen when drawing. This makes unlocking (non-secure) with the "slide to unlock" tab almost impossible - takes 20 or more tries to get it to work sometimes. Since that button does not move when the screen rotates, I can't get it to live where the digitizer works. I thought I might be able to make it work with "pattern unlock" but that won't set a pattern with the middle third out of operation. Same issue affects the sound on/off (and trying to unlock often sets the sound on or off instead.) **So my answerable, stack-exchange-ish question, essentially, is whether there is any way to move/reorient the "slide to unlock" tab, or let the keyboard do that function.** Phone has not been wet, but I tried drying it anyway since many digitizer problems seem to be water related. No help. On/off/reboot battery in/out also make no difference. While it's irritating, if I could get something else (like the keyboard) to do what the slide-unlock is doing, but reliably, I could live with it as is for as much as I use the touchscreen. I'm on a rooted (basically so I could install AFWall+, as I'm using it on a prepaid service primarily to make/take calls with, and really wanted to make double sure that any data use was restricted to WiFi, ONLY.) "Gingerbread" (2.3.4) Motorola Droid 2 Global if it makes a difference. I'm no great shakes at android-ness, I basically tracked down a root tool method that was purported to work, and after finding that many versions of it didn't discovered one "not the most updated" version that did work, despite dear old VZ making it more difficult. ( _I'd also like to ask about replacing the digitizer, but after reading the help page 3 times I'm **still** not sure if that's considered on or off topic, since it's more about "hardware running android" than about "android as such" but it is "a problem I'm trying to solve on my android device"_) |
57336 | Why can't i see any files from SD card in Android System Recovery <3e> | so I'm a bit confused. I'm going to try to organize my question here and not create a wall of text so please bear with me. Problem - I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 2 that I'd like to save the data from. no sim card, pattern locked. I don't know the pattern to unlock, nor do I remember the google account information to unlock it. USB debugging is NOT turned on so I cannot reach it via ADB, and it's not setup as a disk drive so simply attaching to a PC isn't a solution either. Possible Solution - After lots of research, I've found a possible solution where I A - install CWM via the "Update from SD Card" feature in Android System Recovery, then B - Flash a Pattern Unlock to the device. This "should" in theory work, or at the very least if I get CWM installed, open a host of other possibilities to try. Reason the above is not working - I've downloaded each file, placed them on a micro SD card via an adapter, and put them into the phone. After booting into the recovery console and going to the Update via SD Card option, I do not see any of the files on the SD card. I've gone as far as to boot the phone into recovery without the SD card installed and I literally see the same data. in short - I cannot get the SD card files to show up in the recovery console (this is a stupid problem to have and I'm hoping I'm just missing something). What I'd like - some advice on how to get the files from the SD card to show in the recovery console. I'm assuming it must be easy. If not - perhaps an alternative method to get around the pattern lock that does not involve a factory reset. thanks. |

57338 | Any text in desktop and menu is unreadable | My girlfriend owns an HTC Desire X running Android 4.1.1 with HTC Sense 4+. The phone was working fine but suddenly yesterday any text in desktop and menu has become unreadable. Instead of letters (european character, spanish) text is now made of white squares. Something like having an issue with fonts. You can see a picture below. My troubleshooting was: * Asked her if she installed any update: she did not install any new app or software update. * Restarted the phone but the issue was still present after reset * As suggested in comments, verified that language is properly set Today she installed 3 updates: Twitter, Chrome and Dropbox. Suddenly fonts in desktop and menu came back to normal and text is readable again. Did any of you have similar issue? Any idea what could be the cause?  |

41201 | Is it possible to play games from my HTC Desire HD on my HD-TV? | Is it possible to play my 3d games on my _HTC Desire HD_ and mirror the display to my HD TV? I have a Sony Bravia 55HX820 3D LED TV with 240 Hz, which was top of the range when it came out in 2011. I don't think it has MHL technology but I know there are adapters so I can connect via MHL. Neither can I find anything that says my HTC Desire HD is MHL compatible as I don't think it is. I can stream videos photos, music etc to my TV wirelessly via DLNA -- but does anyone know a way to play my games from my HTC DHD to my HD TV via HDMI? The phone doesn't support MHL mirror image to TV. I have a lot of high quality games on my phone. Moreover: What would the quality be like -- as the phone screen resolution only is 400x800 -- but display in 1080p or even 720p on my TV mirroring my phones image. My phone isnt rooted. I'm running Gingerbread 2.3.5. I'm thinking about rooting my phone and updating to Android JellyBean Rom. Does anyone know a possible way to do that without to much quality loss on the TV -- as it looks good on the phone but the phones resolution on my 55 inch tv would look horrible! Also, would updating to JellyBean make any difference? |

41206 | How is installing an app from web-based PlayStore implemented? | As you are probably aware, when browsing the web-based PlayStore, it is actually possible to install an app right-away. Upon pressing the "Install" button (like the one in the image - taken from the app page), I immediately receive a notification on my phone telling me that the app is being downloaded.  I would be very interested to know how Google implemented this feature. I suppose being logged to my Google account on both the PC and the phone helps, but still - is the phone continuously polling some network resource to see whether it should start downloading an app? Or is the notification somehow pushed to the phone (I cannot imagine how this would be done)? |

When disabling it I lose more often my wifi connection. Android seems to try switching to APN when going to sleep. Turning on APN also does take a lot of time occasionally. Worst thing happened to me a few months ago: I had my APN turned off through Quick Settings. This app got an update and all of a sudden I couldn't connect to the internet over APN anymore. I had to do a full reset of my Android because of that. Can you suggest a way to turn off APN in a less harmful way? (I still wonder why Android doesn't include that.) |
30514 | Wrong Google account picture | Some applications on my phone (e.g. Maps) show a wrong picture for my user account. Specifically, an old picture is shown instead of last one I put on my Google+ account. How can I fix this? I use a LG-P692 (Gelato) phone. |
30511 | Trigger "mount as disk drive" (aka "USB Mass Storage" mode) from PC | I've got an HTC Incredible that I sync to my Linux box. I'd like the Linux box to automatically detect that the phone is attached (I can do that via `adb wait-for-device`), and then automatically put the device in "disk drive mode" (I've no idea how to do this part), and then mount the phone as storage, and run my sync script (I've got this covered), and then unmount the phone and return it to "charge only" mode. I can manually put the device in "disk drive mode" by pulling down the shade and changing the "USB connection type", but I'm not sure how to trigger this remotely from the PC. Ideally, some `adb` command would be great, but I'm open to installing an app, or other hacks (the Linux box can usually reach the phone via WiFi ...) "Disk drive mode" is also known as "USB Mass Storage" (UMS) mode. In newer (ICS and later), UMS support is being deprecated for MTP (slightly different USB-based transfer protocol). |
30512 | How can I print from Android phone through Google Chrome connected printer in laptop? | I have a printer connected to laptop. The printer does not have any network features such as Apple AirPort but connected to a laptop with Google Chrome. My Android phone is also running Google Chrome. Both the phone and laptop are under the same account. How can I print through the Android phone to the printer? Can I do it with Google Cloud -printing? |
38762 | pushing documents to manager's phone | I want my senior managers to be able to open files on their phones, in either PDF or DOC. The format is not really the problem. But they are not too IT savvy. They just want ot push a button on their phone to open an app and have a library of files there. They don't understand dropbox.... I have 2 apps on my own android phone, both religious, that contain a long list of prayers or books (e.g. the bible). Every now and then each of these is updated automatically with new prayers or hymns or whatever. A similar idea would be a list of recipes, which is updated automatically each time a new recipe is available. Is there a way that would enable my managers to open a library of files, which would update automatically with new files or newer verions of existing files whenever a new file was available? That way they don't have to 'dock' their phones, or ring up to have a file sent to them -- but the files would be automatically 'pushed' from a central site to a selected list of users. Sounds simple to me. Is this possible somehow? |
38760 | How to switch on/off system load and running processes overlay | Somehow I have managed to get my Android phone (HTC Wildfire running Cyanogenmod 7.1 / Android 2.3.7) into a state where the system load (in unix uptime format) and running process list is constantly displayed on top of the screen, no matter what is running. How do I turn this feature off? (For the avoidance of doubt, I think this happened while the phone was unlocked in my pocket. I never explicitly asked for this behaviour.) |
30519 | How can I get a list of all my paid (only) apps in the Play Store? | I'm interested to know all of my apps that I paid for in the Google Play Store. Is there an easy way to retrieve this list filtering only paid applications? |

18176 | How can I unlock and configure my Nexus One without a SIM card? | I have a Nexus One which I want to send to my mother. Where do I go to have it unlocked? Does it run the latest version of Android and can I install apps without a SIM card? |
18177 | Can I safely remove "Android keyboard" if I have installed an alternative keyboard application? | I know it's potentially a Bad Idea (tm), but hear me out. I've got an HTC Desire, and its internal storage space is severely limited (150 MB, barely), running Cyanogenmod 7.1. I'm not entirely happy with the supplied keyboard, and have tried Swiftkey X Keyboard, to a great satisfaction. Now, since keyboard apps cannot be installed on the SD card when they are used, this eats up more than 15 MB of that precious internal space and severely limits the number of apps I can install. It occurred to me that I could convert Swiftkey to a system app and integrate it in the ROM, and after that freeze and remove Android Keyboard -- using Titanium Backup. Naturally, I'm not too keen to try it without asking around first, for it can have disastrous consequences. So, my question really is: > Can I remove _Android keyboard_ if I have an alternative input method > application? |

37094 | Karbon A9+ System space and Internal Storage | 1. I have recently moved from iPhone 3G(3 years) to Karbon A9+(ICS). While my mobile is showing GBs of space available, I frequently get Low System space warning. I had then added a 8 GB external SD card but to no avail. Coming from an iPhone background, this was confusing....if I have tonnes of space why am I getting such notifications? 2. On System Setting under Storage,its displays "Total space 581 MB" out of which 89 MB is available. Internal Storage is 2.57 GB out which 2.56 GB is available. While on other mobiles of other brands, I dont see the distinction between System space and Internal Storage. Which this discrepancies and what are the consequences? 3.

47316 | File transfer between Windows 8 and Nexus 7 | I'm struggling with it for ages and I can't seem to get it working. Every solution on the internet just lets me to install ADB drivers.

Nexus7 is displayed with conflict on the device manager. Automatic install won't install nothing. Drivers from asus website won't install (these are just ADB drivers). Basically no drivers I found over the internet won't install. For god sake, it's world most popular Android tablet. Is it Windows 8 which is so retared? MTP not recognized, PTP aswell. No drivers found anywhere. EDIT: I found a "solution" - it's called "Sell the bloody Windows machine and buy a Mac" - works like a charm. There is also another one I tested: "get back to Win7" worked too... |
15038 | Does Titanium Backup work with system using Link2SD | Titanium Backup is a root app that allows you to back up your apps and all their data.

I'm certain it was exchange because I have a traffic monitor tool and that particular email client is only holding my exchange account. This was, to understate, surprising. Is this normal behavior for Exchange? I only received 8 emails over night, none of which had any attachments to speak of. |

But still, when I press Home or Search, the phone vibrates as if I pressed something but doesn't go home or bring up a search box. Thankfully, "back" still works. Is the hardware defective?? |
15034 | How does one install an emulator onto the Playstation phone (Sony Xperia Play)? | I got a Playstation phone (Sony Xperia Play) and would love to play old video games on it for free. I was hoping there was an emulator (maybe mame?) I could install on it. Is there some way I could do this? EDIT: I'd like something that makes use of the playstation control buttons on my particular phone |
39498 | Computer will not recognize phone with USB Debugging enabled | so I'm trying to test apps on my Motorola Droid Razr so that I can test with audio and video playback. I'm running Windows XP (woot), and the problem is that when I connect my phone with USB Debugging enabled, the computer doesn't recognize it even though it was just connected as a media device with USB Debugging turned off. I thought I downloaded the correct USB driver because it worked before without USB Debugging. I thought that the computer could automatically find the new hardware because i had just downloaded it, however this leads me to my next problem: whenever I connect my phone to the computer it kills the computer's internet...weird right? I've tried turning tethering, wifi, bluetooth, you-name-it on/off and it still does that. Any thoughts?? Appreciate the help Peter M. |
39499 | Quickly send an email | I'm looking for a way to send an email to myself as quickly as possible. I am using my inbox as TODO list, and sometimes even send emails to myself to add new items… The optimal solution would be one where after a single touch on homescreen and typing a line of text (like: “Buy Milk”), some app or service would automatically send an email to my address with subject equal to what I typed. I wish to avoid choosing destination address, being forced to type something into the body and so on. I'm currently using Evernote for that, occasionally moving items to my INBOX manually. But even then it's 5 or 6 touches + several seconds needed to load Evernote on my a bit dated Milestone 1. Thanks for any ideas. |
63904 | Android App initial release date | When you are viewing an app in Google Play store, it displays the following : Updated, Size, Installs, Current Version, Requires Android, and Rating. I am trying to do some research and figure out the initial release / publish dates of different apps. Is there a way to get this information from Google Play, or perhaps a website with this information? |
67724 | Find when an app was released on the google play store | I tried searching for a tool online but couldn't find how you can find out when an android app was first released on the google play store? On google play it just mentions when it was last updated. Any ideas how I can find the first release date ? |
73164 | Is there any way to know when an app is published first time in Google PlayStore? | I want to collect some data for my projects which requires when an app is published first time in Google Play Store. i.e when first version of Facebook, Gmail, or any other app is published first time. |
77834 | Zombie Scramble keeps returning to life! | Scramble, by Zynga (go figure), has apparently figured out how to re-enable notifications for itself without my interaction. I have turned off notifications in the application settings menu for android on my galaxy S4 numerous times, but it somehow seems to turn itself back on within 24-48 hours. So my question is in two parts: 1) As a programmer, I'm very curious, what method does Zynga use to continually re-enable notifications for Scramble? 2) How do I disable their re-enabling notifications? |
39497 | How do I get a camera icon on my lockscreen? | I've seen screenshots from Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) that have a camera icon besides the unlock icon on the lockscreen (see below). My Nexus 4 (latest Jelly Bean, 4.2.1) has a camera widget on its lockscreen instead, but I find it sometimes hard to open. (As long as the lock symbol is pulsing, the swipe has to be started from the very edge. If you are already widget selection mode, it is easier.) Is there anyway to add the camera icon (or any other icons) to the unlock circle? In stock, with apps, or with any mods?  |
77831 | Modal every few seconds with CyanogenMod 11 20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-hammerhead: "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped" | Every so often I get this pesky dialog:  I touch "OK" and it pops up again. This repeats until I reboot or don't use the phone for a while, then the problem clears up on its own. Eventually I start using the phone and the problem occurs after a while again. I used logcat and I see some stuff about a NullPointerException in some obfuscated WearableService code. I'm using CyanogenMod 11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-hammerhead. At the time of writing this is the most recent available snapshot. I've tried upgrading to the snapshot I have now, and this seemed to solve the problem for a while. I've tried wiping the cache partition and wiping the dalvik cache.

76999 | How to turn off low battery suicide mode? | Suppose device is standing-by and battery is coming to low. At this moment the "low battery" message appears. This causes the screen to turn on, all suspended applications to start, music to start, GPS to start and if no human intervention, then battery will be depleted in minutes. This is what I call "low battery suicide". Is it possible to turn it OFF? For example, after message appeared from stand- by, is it possible to let it go to stand-by back? |
39143 | Problem reading PDFs downloaded from iMac to my Nexus 7 | I have a Nexus 7 32GB. I read an eMag (Model Railroad Hobbyist) and would like to be able to download it from the Mac (or directly from online). I downloaded one issue but the next one, while it apparently downloaded, can't be read. I also downloaded a PDF created in Word for Mac. While it appears in the download directory through `Settings`, it won't show up when the Downloads app is run. I've updated to 4.2.1, and have had no other problems with the unit. This may, of course, be an operator malfunction, since Android and tablet computers are a whole different animal from what I'm used to (Windows, Mac). In any case, please help me. Thanks. |
39144 | Is the external micro SD card path the same for all devices? | I am using a Samsung Tab 2. There is a path: `/mnt/external_sdcard/myfile`. Here, I can save, read, or write my file to the external micro SD card. I'm just wondering if this path is the same for all devices, or if it may be different. |
39146 | Cannot see the video files in the phone on my PC | I have this very strange issue which I discovered on my month-old Note 2. I never had this issue with my previous device which was a Nexus S. I hooked up the phone via USB to my PC, and selected `camera PTP` mode. When I browsed the folders via `Computer\GT-N7100\Phone\DCIM\Camera`, I don't see any videos that I shot. However, when I browse the files through the default `my files` app on the phone, I see them. Why is this? Windows 8 detected the device and installed all drivers too. Because of this, I am not able to move the videos shot with the phone to my PC. Any help? |

Moving app to SD function may not be supported by this device.` What should I do now to move the app to SD. |
17276 | WiFi on my Nexus S no longer works after update to ICS - How can I troubleshoot or fix this? | I just updated My Nexus S to ICS today and everything is working properly except for WiFi. It shows the network's SSID but says it is "Out of range". How can I fix this? |
35872 | Trying to use Xbox controller on Nexus 7 | I just got the Asus Nexus 7 and I am attempting to play the N64 emulator (Mupen64 plus, AE).

19629 | Not sure if Kernel Version correct | I recently updated my Samsung GT-S5830 to Gingerbread via Kies. After the update my phone is displaying the kernel version as `2.6.35.7-perf-CL5XXXXX root@DELL 142 #1`. The `X`s are some 5 digit number. Im not sure if this is normal or if theres something wrong (because of the 'root'). Any clues? |
19628 | ProxyDroid not working | I am using connectify + proxy droid, yet only proxydroid seems to connect to the internet, while nothing else works. Proxydroid connects in the sense that, it loads ads. Nothing else works. I'm rooted. Is there any alternative way to set system wide proxy access? Nothing seems to be working. I tried autoproxy also. Help. |
19622 | My Samsung Galaxy Spica crashed, a factory reset didn't fix the problem | After a factory-reset on my Samsung Spica, followed by a recovery setup the phone keeps hanging with the setup-wizard. Does anybody has a solution for that? OK, it's not recovery setup, it's the recovery mode by pressing volume down, call and stop. with that I'm getting to the point where I have to setup a google account, wich I do. But after that I cannot leave that wizard because it's asking me to setup another one and so on. Good news, I've done it myself! With the help of Sameer Prabhakar's flashing- guide wich I found in www.greaky.com It's very well explained and even though I have never done things like flashing a phone it worked out pretty well :-) and I'm back to life! |
4176 | How to delete the history and cache in Opera Mobile (10.1) via shell? | I run **Opera Mobile 10.1** on Android. My device is rooted. **How can I clear the history and cache of the browser via shell?** As su, removing > /data/data/com.opera.browser/opera/profiles/smartphone/cookies4.dat > > /data/data/com.opera.browser/opera/profiles/smartphone/cache > > /data/data/com.opera.browser/opera/profiles/smartphone/cacheO and a > /system/xbin/busybox killall -9 com.opera.browser afterwards doesn't seem to do the job. Afterwards, bookmarks etc. are still there. In **Opera Mini** I found it easy to just delete > /data/data/com.opera.mini.android/cache/webviewCache > > /data/data/com.opera.mini.android/databases but unfortunately, Opera Mini in it's current version has a bug and doesn't work on most devices. **Edit:** Another approach I tried is to kill the Opera process, then set an entry in the **opera.ini** , referring to http://www.opera.com/support/usingopera/operaini/#private: [Clear Private Data Dialog] CheckFlags=1023 but it doesn't cause Opera to clear the history and cache after a restart. |
