2472 | How do I sync only "My Contacts" from Google on Samsung Galaxy S? | Is there any way that I can limit my Galaxy S to only download & sync contacts from the google account that are in "My Contacts"? Right now, it downloads everything, in particular, contacts in the "Other Contacts" group which has people that I've only emailed one time (or responded to). This takes my contact list from <200 up to 500+. On the other side, any way to use the groups that I've included in my google account? I'm not opposed to using a separate application to manage these. It seems to me that Samsung's contact implementation is just poorly thought out, and I really hope that they make drastic changes to it for the 2.2 update. |
22773 | Unable to open copied files from computer to device (mount as disk drive) - HTC Desire S | I connected my phone as a disk drive and put some files ( .png ,.jpg ,.swf ) in the `sdcard`. I am unable to open those files on the phone. I am unable to find those files in the gallery of the device, either. When I checked details from Astro file manager it is showing the extension `.cp$` on all the file, as in `filename.png.cp$` I am not getting what is the problem?? |

4003 | When should I start charging my Lithium battery? | The comments in this question say that I shouldn't wait until low battery charge level before I charge, because that reduces battery life (this is contrary to my understanding before that the faster we charge (without waiting for battery to discharge) the worse it will be for battery life). My question is, when I should generally start charging to avoid this effect? 20%? Interesting question: _If we always limit the usage of the battery only 20% and above, won't we, in effect, reduces our battery capacity to 80%, because we will only use the battery in 20%-100% state?_ |
73312 | "Flashing" custom recovery from running ROM | A possible solution to my other question related to this. Having root access, what's there to prevent me from manually flashing a custom recovery from my running operating system? If my bootloader is locked, can I still do: dd if=openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0-deb.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery If so, then I'd be able to flash a custom recovery from inside of a running Android operating system, bypassing a locked bootloader. I suppose if someone has root access to a running operating system, you're pretty much hosed anyway, but would this at least in theory work? Can I use something similar to the above command to flash a recovery in a live, running Android device? |
77674 | Can I use side buttons of my phone to turn (by holding) next/prev track without root? | I have xperia M. It has normal walkman player.

31840 | Will an Android phone connect to Wi-Fi and download apps without a subscription? | I wanted to get an iPod, but hate Apple and like Google. I was told that the android equivalent of an iPod is any phone without a subscription. Would an Android phone without a subscription be able to connect to Wi-Fi and download apps anyway? If not, what would be a real equivalent? |
31843 | Is there an application / ROM that allows me to set the phone to "Guest" mode which I can configure? | I would like to be able to set my phone into `Guest` mode so people using it will not be able to "abuse" it while I give it to them. Example of usage: * Child mode - prevent editing settings, making calls, installing applications etc. * Friend mode - prevent viewing text/email messages etc. * etc. I have the MIUI ROM which has a pre-defined `Guest` mode - I'm looking for something which is fully/partially configurable - is there something like that? |

32637 | Galaxy S GT-I9000: how to fix boot to recovery with Volume up+Power? | I have Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) and I've installed Cyanogenmod 10 M2. I can reboot into recovery from Cyanogenmod (Hold Power button, select Reboot and Recovery). However, I cannot boot directly to recovery holding Volume up + Power or Volume up + Home + Power when the phone is powered down. **Do I need to do something to the phone hardware to get some button combination to boot to recovery mode?** As far as I know, the button combination I've tried is the correct one for this device. I can boot to download mode with Volume down + Power. The recovery is the one installed along the official galaxysmtd Cyanogenmod 10 M2 ("CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.4"). I would want to fix the issue because now I'm afraid to flash ROM updates because getting into recovery in case of boot loop is much harder if I cannot get the normal key combo to work. |
32636 | Official statement regarding call recording | I have been searching for a while and have not found any official statement about the call recording issue in Android (i.e. that it is not possible to reliably record calls on all phones). It may have the same lawsuit-fright induced reasons as a limitation of call recording in Google Voice (short notice here), but as mentioned, I could not find anything official. Is there really nothing all over the Internet? And whom can I ask for more information? Google? |

32633 | Best way to update to latest versions of custom ROMs? | What is the easiest and most time effective way to update to different builds of a custom ROM ? Say for example, having an Infuse, I follow the builds of Cyanaogenmod 10 and they release updates every week or so. What I usually do is to use Titanium back up pro to backup my apps, flash ROM and do a restore. (which of course takes a lot of time) Is there a better way to do this that I'm not aware of ? Does updating to a latest version need to have the same steps as flashing a new ROM entirely ? |
51770 | How can I uninstall the local Speech Recognition from Google? | My Google Speech Recognition isn't working. When I use it (in Google Now, Evernote, etc.) it crashes the app. I'm _guessing_ this is because I installed the local SR. (I did a Factory Reset on the phone (Motorola Razr M) and the problem persists AND the local SR is still installed. Update: **What I've tried** I can't find any App (Running or Installed) that seems like Speech Recognition. So I've not removed anything. The only thing I've seen that looks like it might be what I'm looking for is com.google.android.voicesearch but there's only an option to Stop and Disable it, not uninstall. |
56741 | How to upgrade Avatar ROM's old kernel? | I've got an S3 LTE version (GT I9305), with CyanogenMod (Avatar) installed.

How can I get a recent kernel? |
56749 | How can I change music track without getting my phone out of my pocket? | I know there are apps that let you change tracks with the volume button. But that can be awkward (e.g. if the phone's in your pocket and you're jogging or something). I was wondering though, do you guys know of like a clip/ adapter thing that that you can use to change tracks on Android phones? I had something that could do that for my Discman back in the '90s, but I cannot find any mention of it on the internet today. You connect this adapter to the Discman, and then connect your headphones to the adapter. |
56748 | Restoring one application data from ClockModRecovery Backup | I was using CyanogenMod 4.10.3.

Since I changed my number and I would like to use my old number with WhatsApp, I would like to restore WhatsApp backup from this backup. Is it possible? |
4567 | Encrypt the phone's internal storage | Is there a way to encrypt my phone's internal memory, in the same way you would encrypt a computer's partition? Ideally, the phone would always ask for the password when booting, and even if someone had physical access to the phone and plugged it into a computer, this person could never see what's inside the phone unless he/she knew the encryption password. I'm looking for a way to encrypt the internal storage only (that's where the sensitive data is kept). Encrypting the SD card is nice but not necessary. Running eclair on a motorola milestone, and I'm willing to root it if necessary. _Note: I know that there are security related apps that offer to remotely nuke the phone. I also know that this might seem exaggerated and tin-foil-hatish to some people, I'm just a bit of a security freak._ :-) |
4569 | Market Downloads, GTalk and GMail notifications fail when on company VPN | I've noticed that when I login over WIFI to my company VPN the following problems occur: 1. GTalk does not login. 2.

Does anyone have any idea what would cause this? What protocols/ports do these services use and is it possible to edit them? |

25201 | Video Player App for MKV? | Having trouble finding an app that will smoothly play .MKV (matroska video) files. (For those unfamiliar with the format, MKV is commonly used for HD video.) The popular QQ, Mobo, Mvideo, and MX players result in choppy, un-synced play. These apps do the same on my 2.1 device. I am using Samsung Galaxy Ace with Android 2.3 and these QQ, Mobo, Mvideo, and MX players are not able to play .mkv file smoothly. |
25209 | Deauthorize an app | I installed MightyText the other day. But I haven't used it so I uninstalled it. Then I remembered it required links to my Google account - so I went to Google Account security. But it doesn't list the app - when I reinstall MightyText it doesn't prompt me for authorization again - it says it's "linked". There is an "unlink" button - but I have no way of knowing if it actually does it. Where can I find the Google interface to revoke this permission? |
28783 | How to check internet connection every xx minutes and log the result? | I am having issues with internet connection - only at home and only sometimes.

28784 | What is involved in upgrading Android to a later version, if the manufacturer no longer supports the device? | I recently acquired an Android-based tablet which is now running a rooted version 2.2; however, the manufacturer no longer supports or sells this particular tablet. I'm interested in seeing if I can install Android 4.0 onto it by keeping the Linux kernel from 2.2 and just replacing everything else. Despite the GPL, the manufacturer never released any source code for their custom modifications so I can't, for example, compile a new kernel. So my basic plan is to replace the software stack with the stock Android 4.0, copy any custom applications over from 2.2 that came with the device, and see what happens. Has anyone here tried anything like this before and can advise on any potential pitfalls before I go ahead and inadvertently brick my device? Thanks in advance! |

42967 | Can't download updates via home WiFi network but can over other networks | I Have a Cisco EA4500-RM, it allows to connect an iPhone 5, a desktop, and a laptop to my home network. When I try to connect my Samsung Galaxy SIII, it shows that it is connected to the network, but it does not allow me to download any updates. Once I connect to any other network (Wi-Fi) it downloads everything without problem. Can anybody tell me what settings are interfering with this or how I can fix it? |

41439 | POP3 E-mail Downloading Old E-mails I had Deleted | My Galaxy S3 phone recently received an update. My POP3 e-mail via Comcast now downloads e-mails from several weeks ago, apparently when it wants and however many it wants, at the same time it checks for new e-mails. I end up 'marking as read' and deleting these in bulk time and again. I've tried NOT marking as read as well. This did not happen until after the update. Any suggestions? |
41438 | How can I disable the status bar on the lock screen? | I want my lock screen to actually lock the phone. I don't want to be able to unlock the phone and initiate a call by pulling the phone out of my pocket, or randomly select notification items if it bangs against my leg. Is there a way to just turn all that crap off? For anyone interested in this functionality, I have logged a bug. |
45990 | Problem connecting Galaxy Note 10.1 to Mac OS X Mountain Lion | I'm trying to connect my Galaxy Note 10.1 (running Android 4.2.2) to my Mac OS 10.8 machine via USB. I used Android File Transfer, but it gives me an error that says: > Could not connect to device. Try reconnecting or restarting your device. |
45993 | Micro SD not being found on phone or pc after replacing | My micro SD card filled up from pictures on my Galaxy S3 and previous phone. I went out and bought a larger capacity card to replace it. When I put the full card in my laptop to transfer the pictures, at first it worked. When I went to open the card, I could not find it anywhere on my laptop. I removed it and put it back in my phone and it is now saying the card is damaged. I have tried both multiple times, even in my camera, and still have not been able to find my pictures. What can I do to find my pictures again and safely? |
39726 | How do you disable the phone's microphone when a bluetooth headset is connected? | I would like to be able to disable the phone's microphone while a bluetooth headset is connected. The phone's microphone is disabled during phone calls but not when using voice command apps (Cyberon Voice). I've tried looking through lots of settings but to no avail. I'm on android 4.0.3 with a Samsung Galaxy S2. I want to do this so that I can use the headset while on my motorbike. |
39728 | problem with external sd card after restart | I usually store all my music, documents, and other personal files in the external sd card. So I have my ringtone to be used from my external_sd. I've seen that if the external sd card is being in use then the ringtone is falling back to the default tone, which is a desirable feature. But when ever I restart my device, the ringtone changes to the default one instead of the preset value, and in the settings the ringtone is shown as "Unknown Ringtone", although my sdcard is detected. This annoying problem also causes the playlists created in the music player to not list the entries from the external sd card after the device is restarted. Is this a bug? are anyone else facing this problem on any other device? I really need help. Device: Samsung Galaxy S II (non rooted) OS: ICS (4.0.4, samsung stock) Location of ringtone/music: /sdcard/external_sd/Music Thanks. |

71313 | Connection issues with mobile data on Galaxy S2 running CM 10.2 | Recently I updated my _Samsung S2_ with Cyanogen 10.2. After that, my mobile data network is not connecting. I am not able to connect to mobile internet. I am able to access net via WiFi. Also I observed that the phone doesn't ring on normal speaker and it creates lot of problems as I miss many calls. This is only if I connect my head phone to the jack. Can any one suggest me the solution for both of the problem? |

71315 | Updating apps causes unrelated app to crash | For some reason, whenever I update an app, a completely different and unrelated app crashes. Worse, it's always the same one. > Comics has stopped working Report | Close I happen to have the Comixology app installed. I may not have touched Comixology in days. Certainly I've restarted the phone since then. But when I update an app, just before the update completes I get a message that Comixology has crashed. And if I'm updating multiple apps I get a crash for each one. What gives? What could it possibly be about the app that causes it to happen? Is this something the developer can even fix? (I have been dutifully reporting the crashes.) It's not the only app that I've ever seen this happen, but those other couple of apps I no longer have. |

I have several business emails and like the way Thunderbird works. Being new to this, if I can't put TBird on the Samsung or similar product, then what type of e-mail platform will I be using? |
30497 | Setting up mail client. Trying to connect only to the incoming server, avoid setting an outgoing server up | I have an Android 4 mobile phone and I'm trying to use the stock email client to connect to a webmail service. The thing is that I am only interested in receiving my mail. I don't need to be able to send from my phone. **Is something like connecting only to the incoming server and leaving the outgoing server settings blank possible?** If not, are there any other email apps that offer this feature? |
30496 | Is there an interactive calendar widget that allows me to switch between agenda view and calendar view? | I'm looking for an interactive calendar widget that allows me to switch between agenda view and calendar view. The Go Calendar widget is really useful allowing you to scroll through the agenda and also select the calendar view which allows you to easily create an event for a given date. Unfortunately I couldn't find a calendar widget that offers similar features and usability. I'd like to change my default launcher but don't wanna lose the useful widget. Anyone know an alternative? |
7013 | Picasa (in gallery) not linked. Can't open picasa folders. How do I fix it? | I'm trying to open my **picasa folders** in the android **gallery**. When I press the Picasa button, I get this message: > your google account is not linked to Picasa Web Albums. Please add another > Google account I found this link from xda. It starts with "can't find the app", and "can't sync" (problems I don't have) but then someone starts about the "not linked" problems. The tips I found where about removing accounts (for youtube, for htc sense, etc), but that didn't help. I found a link to "Sync Picasa Web Albums" option not there , but this is not the same question. The sync option is in the accounts menu, but I can't seem to get picasa in the gallery. I can upload (via gallery -> share) to picasa. I can also make new directories etc. I just can't see my picasa in the gallery specs: * HTC Desire Z * "standard" htc software: android 2.2.1 with HTC sense (1.82.405.1) * HTC hub has "sync" enabled * my Google account has the picasa-sync enabled Does anyone have a clue about how to fix this? |
37717 | Change background color for notification entries? | Samsung Galaxy 5 (aka 550, Europa, Corby), Samsung's Froyo version (so, Touchwiz. Launcher is ADW Launcher (non-EX). My notifications (the things in the list when you pull down the notification bar, if that's the proper terminology I have no idea) are all black on dark gray, and I'd like to change it. I don't know if it's even possible w/o hackery. Phone is rooted, upgrade to CM7 or higher is "planned" (for some time now :D). So, if it's possible to make the notifications more readable there, that would be a solution. The only readable notification is black on white (or blue on white, not sure), and it's from TaskXP. So the colors seem not to be hardcoded. And as always, a RTFM is welcome. When it includes pointers to _where_ in the FM the info is. |
18690 | Any way to place a link to `/sdcard2` within `/sdcard`? | I have a Sony Tablet S, for which I am not aware of any method of rooting. On this device there is an amount of internal storage (dependant on model 8 - 24 GiB) and an external sdcard slot. The former is mounted as `/sdcard` and the latter as `/sdcard2`. My usage of the device would be made a lot easier if I were able to access `sdcard2` from within `sdcard` (when mounted). I have not found any way to do this without root access (tried ln -s but it turns out the partitions are FAT) - has anyone else got any ideas? It is very annoying as I am unable to access my media on the large external storage card I have bought with many applications - I have found myself buying a music payer that specifically allowed me to type my own search paths for media libraries, but cannot use DNLA to send this media to other devices, instead having to remove the sdcard and put it in my laptop - less than ideal... |

37713 | When I'm turning on my internet connection(3g) on galaxy S PLUS, it starts to screen shot itself | When I'm turning on my internet connection via 3G on Galaxy S+, it starts to screen shot itself - aproximately 8 times a minute. And this resulted in all my applications shutting down after 3 seconds. And all of this happens, only when I'm in my flat, only in my house, every day. |
18694 | Why is the same sd-card partition mounted on 7 different mount points? | I created an /sd-ext partition and linked /cache/download and /cache/dalvik- cache to /sd-ext/... When I boot up the phone and all filesystems are mounted and I start adb shell, "df -h" shows that I have both /sd-ext and /data/sdext2 and they are both connected to the same block device, /dev/block/mmcblk0p2. In fact that partition is mounted on 7 different mount points! Is that supposed to happen? /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 915.2M 394.7M 471.6M 46% /sd-ext /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 915.2M 394.7M 471.6M 46% /data/sdext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 915.2M 394.7M 471.6M 46% /data/app /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 915.2M 394.7M 471.6M 46% /data/app-private /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 915.2M 394.7M 471.6M 46% /data/data /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 915.2M 394.7M 471.6M 46% /data/dalvik-cache /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 915.2M 394.7M 471.6M 46% /sd-ext/download Furthermore, there is /sd-ext/dalvik-cache and /data/dalvik-cache. They seem to have identical contents. In fact, ls -ldi shows that they are the same inode! When I first set up the /sd-ext partition, I added it to /etc/fstab. But each time I booted, I found that /etc/fstab was overwritten. Now I can no longer find fstab anywhere on the sd-card! I also looked in init.rc and found the following: # grep symlink init.rc symlink /system/etc /etc symlink /sys/kernel/debug /d symlink /system/vendor /vendor symlink /mnt/sdcard /sdcard This doesn't really explain why /data/dalvik-cache and /sd-ext/dalvik-cache are the same inode, and many other things I'm seeing. There is obviously more going on here than meets the eye, and I'd like to get to the bottom of it so I know what's going on. |

733 | What are good Android headphones with Play/Pause and volume controls? | I've had an iPod Touch for a while and am used to controlling the music player without having to take the device from my pocket. I've had a look around for headphones that will work with the Samsung Galaxy S's TRRS connector and for players that would work with those headphones but haven't seen any combination that looks like it would work. Is this achievable? I'm also happy to consider alternatives like Bluetooth if that would work. |
37719 | Why the music player stop playing music when taking photo? | May I know what is the reason why Android phone's music player will stop playing music when I switch to camera mode? I find it logical if the music player stop playing music when taking a movie but stopping playing music when taking photo seems to be quite illogical since the photo taken will not save any sound. |

It is a developer phone, so: * The Cyanogen instructions do not mention my phone. * I have no data plan, but the above instructions say "data plan required" (workaround) HTC Magic, Model Number GDDJ-09, Build CDB56, Android 1.5, details: SAPPHIRE EVT1 32B DEV S-ON G HBOOT-1.33.3005 (SAPP20000) CPLD-10 RADIO-2.22.19.26I May 29 2009,14:38:09 |
737 | Is there an Android app that can use the GPS to track my location, distance, and time traveled on a map? | I have a few use cases for this - running or walking to track distance and time, hiking to know if I'm backtracking on myself, and driving aimlessly (well, when gas prices are cheaper than they are now) around an area to explore it so I know places that I've already been. I did a quick look around the market and nothing stood out. Does something like this exist? |

47877 | ad hoc network in android | I have Android 4.2.2, Nexus 4 and I would like to setup an adhoc network. Firstly I rooted the device, secondly I tried to create an adhoc network in Android phone: I create an adhoc network in an Android smartphone like below: shell@android:/ # ip link set dev wlan0 down shell@android:/ # iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc shell@android:/ # iwconfig wlan0 channel 6 shell@android:/ # iwconfig wlan0 essid 'Test1' shell@android:/ # ip link set dev wlan0 up shell@android:/ # ifconfig wlan0 192.168.65.129 when I typed `iwconfig wlan0`: the result is: Qcom:802.11n ESSID:"Test1" Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.437 GHz Cell: 02:82:5F:C1:4B:C1 Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power=0 dBm RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=8000 B Encryption key:off Secondly, in my laptop, I could see "Test1", so I connected to "Test1" and I configured a static ip address 192.168.65.128. In this case, the smartphone created the ad hoc network and my laptop joined it, then I can ping from my laptop to mobile and vice-versa. However,in other case when my laptop creates the ad hoc network and later in an Android mobile, I tried to join it : shell@android:/ # iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc shell@android:/ # iwconfig wlan0 channel 6 shell@android:/ # iwconfig wlan0 essid 'Test1' But, when I type `iwconfig wlan0`, ESSID is still `off/any`. Qcom:802.11n ESSID:off/any Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.437 GHz Cell: Not-Associated Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power=0 dBm RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr=8000 B Encryption key:off It seems that an Android mobile can create an adhoc network but can not join an existing one. I found the same result when I tried to setup adhoc network between two Android mobiles. Can anybody tell me what is wrong here, and if there is any possible solution, I tried many methods to setup an adhoc network in Android, and only this method seems to work, but there's still something wrong that prevents an Android phone from joining an existing adhoc network. |
47879 | Instagram LED Notifications | I have a custom ROM on my S3, but that shouldn't really be the issue here. I am on JB 4.2.2. With my custom ROM I am able to set up different colors of the LED notification for each app that I want. However, this works for every single app I get notifications for except for Instagram. I still get the notifications for Instagram, the LED just doesn't light up when I receive them or they are still sitting in my tray. For Twitter I had to change the settings in the app itself to allow the LED to work, but for every other app, it has been default once I added the settings in my custom ROM. Instagram seems to be handling notifications a little bit differently from the other applications, because it doesn't wake up my phone when I get a notification either. But, I have a desktop application that shows me a pop-up on my computer when I receive notifications on my phone, and it notifies me for every notification, even Instagram. I want to know if there is anything that I can do within Instagram or maybe somewhere in the phones settings to enable the LED to light up when I receive a new notification from Instagram. Thanks. |
29788 | Moving app between _three_ possibilities for storage? | My son has an Android phone, and when he bought it the storage space was divided thus: **System Memory:** 157MB **Internal Memory:** 1024MB When this was essentially full we put in an SD card to give him more storage. So now we also have **SD card:** 1.84GB When he fires up something called "App Manager" and clicks on "storage" he sees these three possibilities -- System memory, Internal memory and SD card. OK now here's the problem. If he downloads an app from the app store, by default it will typically install onto the Internal memory. He wants to put it on the SD card, but the only option available when he tries to move it with his app manager is "Move to phone". If he moves an app to the phone, which presumably is the system memory, then the only option now available is "move to internal memory". Furthermore, try as we might we cannot move any app onto the SD card. Is this expected behaviour? Is there a way of installing apps on his SD card (without rooting the phone, ideally)? The phone is an LG-E400, running Android version 2.3.6 . |
40474 | How to block all phone calls, but only allow SMS and networking? | It's kinda disturbing when people keep calling me during work or meetings, but to me it's okay if I receive short messages or Whatsapp message because I can reply them few minutes later in a short break.

Should I wait for this hypothetical upgrade or install a CyanogenMod ROM right now? |
18032 | Bind one directory to another | I would like to bind one directory to another in order to extend the storage capacity of the first directory. In linux you can execute: mount --bind /path/to/directory1 /path/to/directory2 However, the Android shell doesn't understand the "--bind" and "-B" params. This could also be accomplished through fstab, but I'm unsure of the syntax. I need to perform this operation because my Samsung Galaxy S (SGS) has /data/data symlinked to /datadata, the latter of which resides on a partition that can only be 115 MB, and is constantly full as a result. I'd like to extend the space by binding a directory from somewhere else with more room. Thanks in advance, I've been looking around for two days for some ideas. |

I am pretty unclear about chemical processes going in the battery, so I can't check out what exactly happened during this mysterious actions. I did not try to do this with my phone because i'm not sure this isn't harmful for the battery.

30721 | Android Estimate Battery Capacity | I have a phone with 3.7v, 1500 mAH genuine battery. This being said, the maximum power that this battery can hold can be calculated easily: 3.7 v *1500 mAH = 5550 mV. I'm trying to see what battery actually tells the Android when it's charged by %100 by using Nema's very known battery calibration app and it, unfortunately, says only about 4800 when charged %100 (I'll provide a definitive screenshot soon) So, Here is my question: Is it possible, that the battery never charges to it's maximum and leaving about %10-%20 uncharged at each charge? And If so, is there any way to tell the system to charge the battery until it reaches 5550 mV? I'd also want to know if people can observe their battery-stated power limit when their Android device charged %100. I'm talking about this battery http://www.batteryforum.org/t1356-alcatel- ot-995-battery-tli5baa on Alcatel OT-995. |

13786 | How do you open an EVO 3D to access the battery or SD card? | How do I open an EVO 3D? I have one right here and I tried googling it, but I dont have the manual and it isn't intuitive. I would like to view the microSD card and switch it out at will. |
13788 | Stock 2.2 Clock app locks phone | Last week, my LG Optimus V started having a strange problem. Steps: 1. Open Clock 2. Tap "Alarms" icon at the bottom of the screen 3. I must enter my pattern to access alarms 4. Do anything else in Clock 5. … ? 6. Exiting Clock requires entering lock pattern This happened once before, but I don't remember what I did to fix it, or even if I did anything (it might have just fixed itself). Had anyone else had this problem? What did you do to fix it? **Edit:** The screen is locking when the main Clock screen (Activity?) is displayed. Exiting from Alarms (for example) doesn't require unlocking the phone again. **Edit (2011-12-20):** My solution was to download Alarm Clock Launcher and just bypass opening Clock. My Optimus still has this issue; we'll see if I end up having it on my new Motorola Triumph. |

47297 | CM Note 2 Stuck Rebooting After Enabling Simulate External Screen | My Verizon Galaxy Note 2 running a nightly from a couple weeks ago is stuck rebooting over and over after I enabled the option in the developer tools to simulate an external screen. I selected the bottom option that mentioned 1080p. It immediately went to the CyanogenMod booting animation. Here's the sequence that repeats forever: It shows the booting animation for about how long it usually shows it when booting normally. Then it shows a black screen with one white, pink, or red (seemingly randomly) pixel in the very top left corner. After a couple seconds it shows another black screen and some of the top right icons (battery and clock) appear quickly. Sometimes it loads the clock and a few other elements. Then it repeats by jumping to the loading screen. When turning the phone on after pulling the battery out, a dim light above the phone flashes red quickly. I can get into Odin mode. Buttons don't do anything on the phone while in the perpetual boot loop. Please help. Thanks. |
47296 | Galaxy S I9000 does not boot at all | My Samsung Galaxy S I9000 does not boot at all, the screen does not come, no vibration, no backlight on the soft buttons. It's as if it was dead. I reset the battery and hard reset. But nothing seems to work. Any way to get it working, other than heading to a service center? It has Slimrom's Slimbean 4.1 in it, international version of Galaxy S. |
5731 | Data Vault apps with Unlock Pattern | I'm currently using the Wallet app to keep my bank acct#s, CC#s etc. safely on my phone. However, entering the password when I need to unlock the codes is kind of an annoyance. Specially when you wanna look up a number to fill up a form. So, I'm looking for an alternative that uses unlock patterns instead. I know the pattern is potentially less secure than the password but, it's something I can live with :) What are the alternatives available? |
1120 | Complete Dropbox implementation for Android | I'm looking for a method to retrieve **all** my files from my Dropbox account and download them to my SD card. This should download everything with no user intervention. There are a couple of Dropbox applications around but none of them have the ability to download everything and even worse most seem to work incorrectly on huge files skipping the last part or simply not working. |
31804 | How to sync folders via cloud in a Dropbox-like way | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Complete Dropbox implementation for Android How can I sync as much as possible of the folder-structure of my phone to the cloud, and from there to the desktop in a DropBox-like way? Typical applications could be to move photos off the phone (Move it out on my desktop and have it reflected on the phone), and to put podcasts on the phone. If I could put Dropbox to sync the root of the SD card or perhaps the whole file-system it would it principle do it ( Most of these kind of apps use a dedicated folder, which is not logically on the SD card). I have seen one pay add-on to DropBox that seems to do this. (I prefer free of course) One issue is that i already use DropBox for other purposes, so it would be better to use the free quota of another provider. |
14873 | Is there an app or method that will let me use a cloud-synced folder on the SD card? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Complete dropbox implementation for Android In my case I have a bunch of roms and save files I want to keep in sync across devices, the desktop dropbox app lets me store these files in a "real" folder in windows so any application can access them normally, but once they're changed on my pc/server they get updated. Is there any app that lets me do something similar on android? The cloud apps I've looked at so far (dropbox, box.net, boxroid) only allow for downloading single files at a time. |
38645 | Automatic Cloud App Download | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Complete Dropbox implementation for Android I am looking for a way to use a cloud service that will automatically download files onto my tablet for offline use. I am using Dropbox currently but to individually download each file which is a bit tedious. I did not see a way to do this in the Google Drive or Skydrive, android apps. Is there another service or a third party app that will let me do this or am I just stuck downloading each file one at a time? |
47293 | Cyanogenmod stopped being blue | The icons changed to a green scheme instead of the normal blue scheme, and it persists even after reboot. The autocomplete text is yellow now, as is the browser loading bar. What happened?? This screenshot is from a while ago, when I was using a different launcher, but it shows how the colours were until yesterday. (There's also some unrelated background corruption.)  Now the Wi-Fi and cell and messaging and browser icons are green:  I tried reflashing the same version of CM7, and it's still green:  I don't care too much about the color, but I don't know how this could have happened and wonder if it indicates some kind of corruption of the phone's Flash, etc? |

11317 | How well do animated GIFs work on the Asus Eee Pad Transformer? | I'm looking at buying the Asus Eee Pad Transformer. Before I do, though, I want to see how my Tumblr experience will be on it. What I'm specifically worried about is animated GIFs. When I browse Tumblr on say my iPod Touch or Droid, sometimes GIFs work, sometimes they just don't. I played around with an iPad 1 a while ago and it also had trouble playing some GIFs. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the Eee Pad and if it has these same problems with playing animated GIFs? |

19127 | How can I refresh an email in the native gmail app? | I get many emails with pictures in them. When I try viewing them in the native gmail app, it displays some of them, but not all. The only way to view the undisplayed ones is to preview them one at a time. Is there any way to tell the app to refresh the current email? |
48117 | Is there a widget or setting to allow taking/making a one-press Evernote PAGE CAMERA | Evernote has this new feature: Page Camera which is sort of like a camera/scanner. It crops the photo down to the page you're taking a photo of and adjusts the contrast, etc. Very slick. But it's buried in the menu. There is a widget for taking a photo note but I can't find one for quickly (one button) creating a **Page Camera Note**. |
48116 | Is it possible to permanently disable CSS on Android browsers? | Is it possible to permanently disable CSS on Android browsers like Firefox, Dolphin, Chrome and Opera? I want the browsers to completely ignore **any** stylesheet rule. Can this be achieved with the help of AdBlock Plus? |
47121 | Better unlocking schemes? | On my Galaxy S3 I have only a few options for locking/unlocking: Either no locking and swiping, or entering a pin every time. Both options are not very attractive. One is too insecure when leaving it somewhere, the other too cumbersome, when I just take it out of my pocket. OK, there are more options, like face recognition and all that, but it never works in the dark. What I would like to have is a more intelligent scheme: That I do not have to unlock as long as my S3 stays close to me. That a pin is only required, when it is further away from me. Is something like that available or possible? Maybe in conjunction with an RFID-chip? Or bluetooth? So I would carry in another pocket that other device. |
47124 | Overflow menu icon (three vertical dots) visible in Apps in HTC One X and not in Samsung Galaxy S2 | I have HTC One X while my friend has Samsung Galaxy S2. In some Apps like Google Chrome in my phone the Overflow menu icon (three vertical dots) are visible while on SGS2 they are not.  Google Chrome in HTC One X with Overflow menu icon (three vertical dots)  Google Chrome in Samsung Galaxy S2 without Overflow menu icon In my HOX I have set the setting of "Recent apps button" to "Press for menu, press and hold for recent apps". So when I press recent apps button it shows the menu, so the menu icon should be hidden, right? Why is the menu icon visible on HTC One X and not on Samsung Galaxy S2? |
