47393 | How enable monetary parental control for Google Play ? | The last Google Play update removed the PIN option. The new solution is email login.

I'm only interested in monetary protection (content protection is another topic). |
3081 | How do I diagnose hanging and restarts? | I have a Droid which was running fine with Cyanogen Mod 6.0. I travelled for a week out of service range, and since I returned it's been both hanging (no response to user input) and spontaneously restarting. I'm suspicious that an app update is causing this, but I don't know how to diagnose it. Is there a way to diagnose this? |
18263 | Do favorite Dropbox photos automatically download to my Android? | When I tried Dropbox on the iPad, whenever I Favorite a photo Dropbox will automatically download it and it will show up in the Photos app's gallery. Is this the same behavior for Androids? I have a Galaxy S2 and I have Favorited a bunch of photos, but they do not show up in the Gallery. I can only view them by going to the Dropbox app. Is this correct? Thank you. UPDATE: I did a little experiment. I Favorited a picture out of the Sample album and sure enough it downloaded and showed up in Gallery. Then I powered off the phone, and turned it back on, and it is gone from the Gallery even if the file is still in /data/com.dropbox.blabla/files/andsoforth. Ideas? |

Runs perfect so far, but I can't close my programs running in the background anymore. I used to do this by pressing the button below in the middle long - now this does not open up anything. How can I close them now? If I don't: will this have a negative influence on my battery (faster emptying it)? Many thanks and BR |
78443 | What's the name of the manufacturer of my really cheap Chinese tablet? | I recently got into high school. I've received a really cheap Chinese tablet as a gift. I can conclude this because it's Box just says "Android Tablet PC". No model name, No manufacturer name, NO NOTHING...!! As the latest need of new generation and 21'st century, it is really dumb, 'cause it stuck with stock Android 4.1.1 ... It won't even upgrade to Android Jelly Bean(4.2.2). As the new Android Kitkat (4.4.4) is in the market, I really want to upgrade to that android. It specs(Personally-made).. Supports Wi-Fi, GPS, but no Bluetooth.

43895 | Android, typing Czech-specific characters on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 | I have a problem with some characters on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (GT-P5100). When I set language to "čeština" and type `ě` (Latin small letter E with caron) as result Android returns `ĕ` (Latin small letter E with breve) but when I use handwrite typing everything works fine. This behavior causes some search results to not be visible in my Android app. What can I do with it? I wouldn't like to prompt users to install another keyboards. |
43894 | Should I keep my Android tablets' power off or leave them on standby mode? | Should I keep my Android tablets power off or leave them on standby mode? Which option is better? I have two tablets: Allwinner A10 single core 10 inch (old one) and Allwinner A31 quad core 9.7 inch (new one). I notice that sometimes when not using the tablets standby mode battery drain is 20 to 30 percent and also a little heat near battery on the back of tablet and it sometimes become slow so have to restart anyway. (I install lots of programs, software, browsers, readers, games, movie/music players. Recently the tablets are filled with Android applications.) By turning the tablet off at night when not using will it increase the tablet's life? 1. Will it increase the battery life in terms of charge/discharge cycles if the tablet is left off when not used? So it increases battery longevity for years? 2. Will it also increase the life of the memory card and flash memory (as they are dependent on read/write cycles)? Something might be getting written to them by some background programs if tablet is in standby. 3. Will it also increase the MTBF (mean time between failure) and longevity of the Arm processor and other electronic chip components, etc., of the tablets? |
43892 | On system restore, will I lose my software updates? | I have a _Samsung Galaxy S3_ and have it updated to 4.1.2 from ICS.

43890 | No common file attachments using Android 4.2.2 | I can't seem to attach a simple Word or Excel file using Gmail, Hotmail or a local email client. This is when using the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox and Dolphin browser. Being in China for half a year the only way I can send these files is by attaching them to an email as all webdrive services are blocked in China. Is this a bug or an unwelcome policy of the developers? If it's a bug, is there a way around it? An app or something? Thank you very much for your responses! |

15095 | How can I explore my android from my computer | I'd like to explore the content of the internal memory. I have a rooted phone with a terminal emulator which allows me to navigate through it. The problem is that it's quite hard to use (small screen, no physical keyboard) and I cannot transfer files from internal memory to my computer to examine it (maybe memory -> sd and then sd -> computer but not the easiest). Is there a way to have a ssh daemon (I've ConnectBot but it's only a client) on the phone, control it with usb cable (with usb debugging maybe), install a backdoor (maybe no) or something like this ? Thanks |
26268 | Does Swype have custom auto replace? | I love how Swype works but there are a few rather long phrases that I need to enter quite often, and wish I could enter faster, such as my email. I know the user dictionary will let me add custom entries, but that still requires me to Swype out all the characters. I'm looking for a way to have a user defined phrase pop up as a suggestion when another, shorter, user defined phrase is entered. For example, I could then Swype E to M, and have my email as a suggestion I can tap. Is this possible? |
52596 | How do you skip the PIN to go directly to the camera from the lock screen? | I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android 4.1.2 (standard, not rooted). I previously had an iPhone, and the feature I miss the most is the ability to go directly to the camera from the lock screen without having to type in my PIN. How do I do this on Android? I know that there are at least two or three questions asking pretty much the same question. Unfortunately, I don't have the reputation to comment on those answers to explain why they don't help me: * Is it possible to use the camera without unlocking first?: * How to enable a PIN but allow quick access to camera? For both of these posts, the accepted answers recommend WidgetLocker, but the persons who gave the answers had apparently never tried it themselves. I've tried at least five different free lock screen apps, but none of them solve my problem--they all still require a PIN to use the camera. ~~I haven't tried WidgetLocker, but I'm not going to pay for an app that I'm not sure will work, especially when all the others I've tried don't work. Does anyone know for sure that WidgetLocker resolves this problem?~~ I also bought and tried WidgetLocker, but it doesn't support PINs at all, and so it is **not** a solution to this problem. * How to use camera without unlocking phone? (Jelly Bean on S3): This answer suggests using Samsung's built in motion. I tried this, and it still requires the PIN to access the camera. This answer doesn't resolve the issue. I'm certainly willing to pay for an app that solves this issue, but I don't need any other lock screen features--I just want rapid access to my camera. Also, I would prefer not to root my phone just for this, but if there is a solution via rooting, I would seriously consider it. Can anyone please suggest an answer that really works? |
33078 | Galaxy Ace turn on problem after flashing custom ROM | I rooted my phone and tried to use a custom ROM, but I forgot to back up all the data etc using clockwork recovery. Then I reset everything, instalLed the custom ROM -- and now it won't turn on. It only gets as far as to the 'Samsung galaxy ace GT-S530I screen, and no further.

35603 | sluggish performance due to mmcqd CPU usage | I have an older Droid Incredible running Cyanogenmod 7.2. Recently, I've noticed some sluggishness on the phone that doesn't seem limited to a single app. The CPU Usage Plus app (which I think just runs `top`) often reports that the `mmcqd\2` process is using up a lot of CPU (sometimes 50-60%). Googling around, it seems that this process is somehow related to SD card access. Is there any way for me to diagnose in more detail what exactly is causing this process to use so much CPU, e.g., by seeing what other process is accessing the SD card? Could re-formatting the SD card help? Or could CPU Usage Plus be leading me astray? I have some apps installed on the SD card, and I could try moving them all back to the phone, but it would be nice to figure out a more detailed diagnosis before trying random solutions. |
42271 | Why did my wallpaper stop working? | I just upgraded to Android 4.1 Jellybean (OTA carrier update to my Verizon Droid RAZR MAXX), and my Multipicture Live Wallpaper app is not loading any pictures. Previously, each screen would load pictures from a folder on my SD card. Now, it says "Picture is unavailable. Need to setup or reload". I checked, and the path is still the same in the settings, and the pictures are at those locations. Why did this stop working and how can I fix it? |
42275 | Galaxy S3 stuck on boot loop, Factory Reset didn't work | My Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) was rebooting itself for the past few days, randomly. Today, it did it again, but didn't boot back up. Instead, it is now stuck on an infinite boot loop - it gets as far as the splash screen (Galaxy SIII logo), then reboots, and this goes on forever, until I remove the battery. The first thing I tried was to remove the battery, SIM card and MicroSD card for 5 minutes. I then wiped the Cache Partition through the Android Recovery Mode. I then did an Emergency Firmware Recovery through Samsung Kies. This didn't help - the phone is still on the same boot loop. I then tried a Factory Reset through the Android Recovery Mode. This also didn't help. I tried to view the boot logs through the Android SDK tools, but of course, the phone won't stay on for long enough to connect via USB. I'm not sure what else to try. Is there any other way I could possibly access the device's logs? Or should I try Odin instead of Kies? **Update:** my S3 was had the official stock firmware on it, with official OTA upgrades, it was never rooted. **Second update:** I've now tried flashing with Odin3. I used the firmware version appropriate for my region and carrier. Everything was successful, but I'm still having the same problem. I'm guessing there's not much else left to try except bring the device back to the dealer? ... |
7396 | How can I flash back to the stock rom for HTC EVO 4G/Supersonic using just the phone and clockwork mod recovery and/or rom manager? | I need to flash back to my stock rom for just a few minutes to get my GPS working again (http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2090&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Version%20Model%20Network%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars%20Priority).

7391 | How can I manage/track the data use on a HTC Inspire? | I thought this would be a popular question but couldn't find it here so if you do please let me know. My mother just got a new HTC Inspire and is brand new to using a data plan. Since she is worried that she might go over her cap I want to know how can she track how much data she has used in a certain time (preferably within a billing period). I am on Sprint so I've never had to worry about how much data I use. My question is: **Can you recommend a method to manage/track data?** Also, I figure that apps like weather and news should be changed to check less frequently... **any other _default apps_ that should be changed to check less frequently**? Thanks for the help |
7390 | Is my Samsung Galaxy Tab using wireless or 3G? | I recently got a Galaxy Tab #G from Verizon, but I'm cheap so I only got the 1GB data-plan. How do I know if the Tab is using the wireless connection I'm connected to, or if it's still trying to use 3G to load data? Is there a setting, or maybe a free app that I can get to tell me what apps are using what connection? I haven't explored much on the device itself, so there may be something built- in that I just haven't found yet... |
10058 | droid x bluetooth volume too low | Does anyone know how I can get under the hood and modify the db output for my bluetooth media levels? I've read numerous posts of people complaining about this problem but am unable to find a solution.

50232 | How to access and/or delete an invisible Exchange account? | I seem to have somehow developed an invisible exchange account on my rooted (but otherwise stock) 4.1.2 AT&T HTC One. I don't know at what level to attack this problem -- is it a Sense issue or an Android issue? What app or data should I delete / uninstall or clear? If I go to Settings -> Accounts & sync -> under the "Manage Accounts" area there is no Exchange ActiveSync account even listed. If I try to add an "Exchange ActiveSync" account I get the Error message in a popup box that says **"You have already set up this Exchange account."** Googling for that message or searching for it on xda did not yield anything helpful. I'm not sure if this developed at some point from a Nandroid restore or what... Does anyone know how to delete this invisible Exchange account that it says I have already set up? I can't see the account anywhere to delete it, but it's data must exist somewhere inside "Accounts & sync" and so it thinks I have already set it up... I'd like to delete it for real and then re-add it. **UPDATE #1:** I don't use any Exchange services (Outlook Web, nor MS Outlook). |

42859 | Link2sd boot issues | I've got a stock, rooted firmware on my LG Optimus One (P500) handset. I installed Link2SD, and I've got roughly 100 apps installed. Whenever I boot my device, however, it takes 5-6 minutes to boot to lockscreen, and then, for ten-fifteen minutes after that, it gives me the "Internal Storage full" error, and a negligible amount of free memory. Then, Link2SD finally seems to kick in, and I get my 90Mb of free memory. What's happening? May I solve this issue? |

42857 | I cannot use a USB cable to access my version 2.3.6 phone's SD card with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | I have a problem. Googling shows that other people have similar problems, but unfortunately the solutions that worked for them didn't work so me, so I'm going to have to ask myself. I have a (rooted) Samsung GT-S5830i ("Samsung Galaxy Ace") running Android 2.3.6, and when I plug it into my Ubuntu 12.04 desktop using the usual kind of usb-to-micro_usb lead...nothing seems to happen. The command (on the Ubuntu machine) $ lsusb gives the same output whether or not the phone is plugged in. In particular the phone does not seem to be being seen by the computer at all. Similarly the phone does _not_ give me the usual "you've just been plugged into a computer" symbol in the toolbar at the top, and in particular I am not being asked by the phone at all whether I'd like to connect via USB -- the phone offers me no new dialogues or options after being connected; it just sits there charging [in particular it's not the case that e.g. the wire is completely broken, or the port is completely dead; I've tried more than one port on the computer anyway]. I have tried more than one USB connector wire. I have tried more than one USB port on the computer. I don't know where to start debugging this issue. I can access the files on the phone using various other methods, for example via Dropbox, Software Data Cable, bluetooth etc. The issue is simply that this particular method doesn't work and I don't know why. [Note added later on: I suspect this assertion is actually false -- I think that what I should have said was "yesterday I could access the files on the phone using various other methods; today I couldn't access them on my ubuntu machine, but it hadn't occurred to me that in fact I couldn't access them on any machine at all via any method."] |
42852 | Is it possible to use the Google Play Store without having a mobile provider? | I am trying to install Skype and other applications on my brand new Android tablet but I keep getting stuck with a message: > > Can't establish a reliable connection to the server > This could be a temporary problem... > If it continues, call Customer Care > The tablet is running Android 4.0.3 It's a cheap tablet that I ordered from a website for the purpose of doing my own software development.

I updated the Google Play Store apk version 3.4.7 with version 3.10.10 which I downloaded to my Windows PC and transferred with an SD card to the tablet. It's getting quite frustrating after almost one week of fighting with this problem. I would appreciated any help or suggestions. Thanks. |

5092 | Stop droid x from security locking during a call | I have noticed that when I am on a lengthy call on my Droid X, the phone locks itself. This seems to happen within the expected timeout period, so I don't believe that the phone is malfunctioning. Instead, I just think that just bad design (if I am on the phone making a call, I would expect that to register as an activity and keep the handset from locking). My question is whether there is any way to keep the phone from doing this (other than setting the timeout to off before I take a call). I have Tasker on the phone, so I have been toying with the idea of setting up some workaround, but does anyone have any other options? **UPDATE** : To be clear, I am talking about the phone locking (requiring you to re-enter security PIN or pattern to unlock) during a call, **not** the screen turning off when the phone is in proximity to your face. So basically after a 20 minute phone call, if I want to check my mail, I need to enter my PIN. I find this annoying and would like to avoid it if possible. |

4497 | Can I use ext4 on my SD card in a non-rooted phone? | I know that on a rooted phone, it's reasonably normal to create a small ext4 partition for App2SD to use, but I'm not asking about that case: I have a non- rooted HTC Desire running Froyo, and I'd like to format the whole of my SD card as ext4 instead of FAT. I'm aware that this will mean that Windows PCs won't be able to use the card, but all my PCs run Linux so they should be fine. Will the phone be able to access and use the card in this case? |

4494 | Are Android chargers universal in terms of power (Voltage, amperage)? | I would like to buy a car charger, wall charger and USB cables for my Samsung Intercept. However, $20 for a charger seems expensive and I want to avoid getting ripped off. The Samsung Intercept Manual doesn't show the specs for the charging port on the phone itself. Can I use any Android charger with any Android phone? Does Google require Android manufacturers to follow a standard for charging the devices? Or do most Android devices follow their own proprietary standards. The form factors (Micro-USB, Mini-USB) and voltages (~5V) seem universal, but I'm more concerned about amperage. It's not unheard of for some chargers to ignore the USB 2.0 standard. Do some chargers try to force 3000 mA down the wire to supercharge their devices? If so, that could destroy a device which is intended to receive only 500 mA. I can charge the my Android phone using a powered USB port on any computer. How many milliamps does this provide? I read that USB 2.0 will provide a standard 100 mA or 500 mA. Are there another standard amperes which are used for charging? I found what appears to be a generic wall charger for any Micro-USB device. The product description doesn't say how many mA this provides, but from the comments it appears that this charger provides 950mA. Which this overcharge my phone? |

5321 | Motorola Milestone problems | Before I start, please let me say I've tried pretty much everything, including, of course asking my providers for a new phone, but it didn't work. I also posted a similar question on a programmer's site but they couldn't/wouldn't help me. So here it is: I got the Motorola Milestone and it just has so many bugs, it's ridiculous. When I searched online I saw people complaining exactly about the same issues. 1. Phone switches off randomly, sometimes during a call. 2. Phone switches ON randomly, sometimes during a meeting (!) 3. Music from the MP3 player turns on randomly, so I always have to turn the volume off before turning the application off. I also tried upgrading etc, but nothing helped. :/ |

18724 | Adding direct contact to the "Share via" menu | The Share via menu is awesome.

11097 | How to modify functionality (skip song, play, pause) with side phone volume keys? | This is a really requested feature in a lot of forum, but I haven't found any convincing solution. I'd like that my volume keys: * If simple (short) press both together, pause/play. * If simple (short) press of single key, change the volume up or down. * If pressed and hold change track forward or backward. My options in order from preferred to less preferred are: 1. Do it with Tasker 2. Download an app to achieve this (not a media player) 3. Develop an app to achieve this (any advice?) 4. Download a media player that has mentioned functionality. Thanks, Diego **Note:** With volume keys I don't mean keys in the headphone, I mean those which are at the side of the phone. |

I put it into my Blade `/system/app`, I changed permissions, restarted the phone and nothing. There is no new gallery inside the app drawer. What am I doing wrong? The emulator is running Froyo. I've tried different galleries from Google play but none suits me, specially due to Picasa integration. I've tried different Gallery.apk from other forums with the same luck. I even tried to install them but it end with an "App is not installed" message. Thanks. |
66839 | Does the phone consume less power when 3G disabled Vs 3G & WiFi Enabled? | I found couple of questions about it but they are two year old. So Is it better to disable (in the top panel) 3G when I have an active WiFi connection and disable WiFi (in the top panel) when I doesn't have active WiFi connection and enabled 3G Data connection? By better I mean consumes less battery power |
47987 | Why can't my laptop detect my phone? | I want to upload pictures from my S3 to laptop. There is no problem with my cable and laptop because my phone was able to charge when I connect my phone with the laptop. However, my laptop didn't detect any device when I connect my phone in with the cable. Hence, I am unable to upload images / add songs to my Samsung Galaxy S3. |
47986 | Blank screen when trying to boot into recovery mode on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 | I am in the middle of trying to install Cyanogenmod on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 according to Wiki instructions and I'm getting stuck when I try to go into recovery mode. I tried to flash it to koush's ClockworkMod Recovery (recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.3-p5110) I've tried using `Power` \+ `Vol Up` and by using `adb reboot recovery` in the terminal on my PC. It seems to start into recovery mode with a message in blue stating it's entering recovery mode, however, it just goes black and I can't progress passed this point. I can still boot into the stock and into Download Mode fine. It's possible there was a problem installing the custom recovery as I never saw a progress bar as described in the wiki. Instead, it seems to stay at the "Don't power off target device" screen, despite the message in my terminal stating that it was finished. If the custom recovery was botched, how can I remedy it? What can I check to narrow down the problem? I'm running off a PC using Linux Mint in case that helps. |
47981 | ls command works but not with options? | In my terminal app when I type `ls /?` it gives me `ls /d`. Where can I find the other options? For example I want to list the file attributes and file length. I have tried also busybox to no avail. |

66836 | Default Messenger Missing | My default messenger is no where to be found on my Galaxy S4 Active. It was there yesterday, and gone today. I don't know how or why it is no longer available. Any suggestions on why or how to restore it? Please and Thank you. |
69908 | Phone restarts when I reboot into Recovery | I have an android phone, Qmobile A500. Which last night I tried to Root, I tried out a new software instead of Bin4ry to root my phone. MtkDroidTools was used by me. Which in turn shell rooted my cell phone; this is the term I came to know after tons of Googling, that a partial kind of root is known as Shell Root. I can even see that in the main page of the Software too. Yellow light of it, tells me that the Phone is not fully rooted, once I click on **Root** button. It gives me Rooted phone, but (shell rooted). I have tried using MobileUNCLE Tools, to update recovery. I was able to get to recovery 2 times, but had errors. Now, everytime I reboot into recovery it attempts to restart into recovery and then restarts my phone back. I tried uninstalling the SuperSU application, but it doesn't get off of my phone. I don't know what to do now. All I need to do is to gain root access to install CWM recovery, I do have the recovery.img file. But I am not able to update the Recovery of my phone. Or if I can reverse this process and unroot my phone and reroot it using bin4ry that would be helpfull too. Any help guys? |
41897 | Cell Broadcasts for LG lucid with android 4.0.4 | I've looked at the wikipedia article and it is very informative. But my husband had a Verizon LG Lucid with Android 4.0.4. NO WHERE can I find a way to adjust the cell broadcasts! I have a Samsung Galaxy and there is a page to check what kind of emergencies to receive notifications. I can turn any/all of them off. What about the LUCID?? |

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setData(Uri.parse("com.glass.videoglass://")); intent.putExtra("startFromWS", true); startActivity(intent); The only thing I've seen so far is adb shell am start -n com.package.name/com.package.name.ActivityName |
63659 | Remove "Folder Open" "Folder closed" announcements without disabling Accessiblity | I have a Galaxy S3 4G. I also have a Pebble watch. The Pebble watch uses the Accessibility service in order to project messages etc to your wrist. Unfortunately, this means certain other "features" apparently get enabled - like a voice announcement every time I open or close a folder. Which is less than helpful. And really annoying. Is there any way to disable these particular advisories? I'm leery of disabling all voice apps entirely, since I still occasionally want access to things like turn instructions from Google Maps. |
82073 | Google play store does not show all persmissions at app install | So recently, I was searching for a news app that needs few permissions as possible. I found an app called Flipboard. Google play said I need to allow the following: * Identity * Photos/Media/Files  I was satisfied with those permissions and installed the app. Then I went to Privacy Guard (I have CM installed) to check if the permissions match:  The permissions not only not match but there are additional that I would never allow, like reading my **SMS** or **Read Calendar information**. Another strange thing is, that on the google play web page there is another set of permissions: **_This app has access to_** : Identity * find accounts on the device Photos/Media/Files * test access to protected storage * modify or delete the contents of your USB storage Other * receive data from Internet * full network access * prevent device from sleeping * view network connections I know there can be additional permissions added with updates, but I never updated the app. To me it seems google/apps are misleading users and it seems very illegal to me. Am I missing something here or is my complain justified? |
12545 | Can I use a larger battery in my Galaxy S? | I have standard 1500mah battery in my Samsung Galaxy S phone and it lasts around 24 hours. Can I use a larger (say 1650mAh) battery so I can get a bit more battery life? |

82076 | Can I "Wipe data/Factory reset" a phone that doesn't even boot via USB? | I have a Razr HD (XT925 GSM) which suddenly shut down and can't be turned back on (pressing or long pressing the power button does nothing, nor does connecting it to the wall). I have a lot of sensible stuff in the phone. I'd like to wipe it before taking it to the repair service but I don't know if it is possible at all. The phone doesn't even show up when connected to the USB port. Is there a way to wipe the on board flash in these conditions? Knowing that the answer is most probably not, how would you approach the issue? Should I just throw away the phone? Thanks! ps: some context. The phone's screen cracked some time ago. For a few months nothing happened. About a month about the phone started rebooting itself about 10 times a day, with no discernible pattern. It just shut down, apparently for good; I had last checked the notifications a few minutes before. |
12542 | What is Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 usable screen resolution? | The screen is 1280 x 800 pixels but the system bar uses up some of the vertical height. So what is the screen resolution minus the black system bar at the bottom? This is needed to configure an RDP client to exact screen dimensions. |
12541 | How can I change the Locale in the default browser? | I have a Nexus One with Android 2.3.3 and I use the default browser. My phone doesn't have "Swedish" as language setting, so I use English. But now when I use Google, I'm not redirected to the Swedish edition (google.se), probably because the browser doesn't use a Swedish locale. Is there any way I can change the locale for the browser? I have looked in the settings but couldn't find it. Any suggestions? |
82079 | Is it safe to update my Samsung Galaxy Neo to KitKat? | The Samsung Galaxy Neo is officially receiving a KitKat update, which is supposed to bring fixes and performance improvements. Will I experience any problems if I update to the latest version, like lag, shutdown problems or battery issues? |
7479 | How do you move an app shortcut between launcher screens? | So I have a few icons and folders on the leftmost launcher screen. I want to move them to the middle one. You'd think that you'd do it by dragging the icons to the dots on the lower left/ lower right corner, but that doesn't work. I know it's possible to do because I've actually done it few times, somehow, but I can't figure out how to do it in any kind of reliable way. |
50928 | What should I do before sending my bricked phone to repair? | There are similar questions here, but this one is about a phone that doesn't turn on. I can't reset to factory. What should I do? Change my Google password? What information will the technician have access to? |
50926 | Apps that use video. error video cannot be played | I Have downloaded some applications that have video backgrounds instead of images. these games seem to play the locked levels videos fine although they are distorted since they are locked but as soon as I unlock the level. I can no longer see the background video sometimes it's has a strange green and blue mash of colours and then the app will crash. any ideas on how to fix the problem. I have a samsung galaxy s ace advance. The application also says it should work on this model phone |
50922 | How can I see the fingerprint of my adbkey? | You should know that Android 4.2.2 (or just before) introduced RSA key checking for adb access. – The device asks now if you want to allow access. To avoid asking every time, the computer presents an RSA key, which can be permanently accepted. The dialog on the phone shows the RSA key fingerprint. – On Linux, the public/secret key pair is here: `~/.android/adbkey(.pub)`. How can I show the fingerprint of that key file? (I’m looking for a command line to do that on the Linux system.) |
29630 | My IMEI was deleted, but I wrote down the number. Can I restore it? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > How can I restore IMEI code after factory reset? I have an SGS2. During an OTA update the IMEI was deleted. I didn't have a backup of the EFS directory, as the phone wasn't rooted. However, I copied down the IMEI on paper beforehand. Is there any way to restore the IMEI if I have the number? |
19090 | How do I prevent applications from restoring after a factory reset? | I have a lot of apps I don't really use, and my phone has been misbehaving as of late. I'm thinking about just doing a factory reset, but the last time I did one, it restored all my applications, I believe based on my Google/Android Market account. Is there a way to prevent this so I have to 'opt-in' to all my stupid apps? Or at the very least be able to remove the apps from the web interface versus going to the app on the phone...hitting uninstall...waiting...repeat a few dozen times? |
16041 | Why can't I overclock a rooted Samsung Galaxy GT-I7500 beyond the default maximum 528MHz? | I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy GT-I7500 running stock Donut (Android 1.6). I tried a couple of overclocking apps such as SetCPU and CPU Master, but none of them let me actually "over"-clock the CPU, because I can't set the maximum to be more than the default 528 MHz. I have read about speeds of 624 and/or 710 MHz possible with either the Galaxo custom ROM or GAOSP, but I want to achieve those kinds of speeds with stock Donut. I've tried GAOSP b3 (Gingerbread) and Galaxo 1.6.3.4, but I prefer the feel of stock 1.6 (that's why I love my stock Nexus S running 2.3). Is it possible to set the CPU speed beyond 528 MHz in my rooted Samsung Galaxy GT-I7500? How? |
58148 | What is this "com.android.backupconfirm"? | What is the package on my phone that is called `com.android.backupconfirm`? I tried Googling and found an answer on a random forum that said that is the UI for the backup confirmation dialog. While this sounds correct, could you explain why this isn't a part of the core but instead a separate package? |
65711 | No 3G connection in HTC Desire 500 | I am not able to receive 3G network (the area has excellent 3g coverage) on my HTC desire 500. I have activated 3g on my carrier. It receives only EDGE 'E' Symbol but when I select WCDMA only the symbol changes to G for few seconds and entire network is lost, I tried with two different carriers. Should I need to add more details like my carrier name , APN settings for this question ? |

65716 | White Background In Landscape Text Input | I'm sorry to bother you but I couldn't find anything anywhere on this: I installed CM a couple of days ago on my Samsung i9305 (Galaxy S3 LTE - CM stable release 10.1.3 based on Android 4.2.2) and so far am very happy about it. There is one thing to annoy me though and I couldn't find a way to change it. I'm using my phone a lot to write, especially when it's dark, so naturally I've chosen dark themed text editors. On portrait, text input is as it should, I can write simply within the dark themed app. As soon as I put the phone in portrait mode (which is desired for longer texts), I get this awful white text input thing popping up with the "done"-button on its side which really takes me out of it (Form editor?). I have searched the settings high and low, tried changing the theme and have tried installing other keyboards (which has nothing to do with it but it was worth a shot) but no success. Is there any way to get rid of that function? It may be possible for it to just be an Android 4.2.2 feature, which I would find odd since it breaks the immersion into an app, so the question remains. Thank you very much for your effort. |
65717 | Odin detecting Galaxy S plus only in Ramdump Mode | I have a Galaxy S plus (GT I9001), I installed Tiger Jelly Bean recently, which was working fine. But phone was lagging a lot so I decided to install the stock rom again. I installed Kies(latest version) with drivers and connected my phone to my PC, but it was not detected by Odin. Every time I got Samsung Composite USB Device driver installation failed. So I searched and installed drivers from Here and Here . But they didn't worked either. I tried again after changing USB Cable but still no luck. Then I installed Kies in my Laptop and tried to connect the phone. Still it wasn't recognized. Things were not working with downloading mode and Stock rom tar file cannot be flashed with recovery mode. So I searched a converter for .tar to flash able .zip file and found THIS. I installed this tool and tried to convert the tar file to zip. Didn't noticed that it require knowing "Mount Point", so I converted the tar file to zip without changing the mount point and copied the file to internal storage of phone and flashed the zip file. After that phone restarted , and stuck at Samsung Logo. New I can't even to recovery Mode, nothing happens when I keep Pressing **Vol Up + Power**. Phone starts and stuck at samsung logo. Odin was already not detecting the phone so I tried connecting the phone on **Ramdump Mode** and some how drivers were installed and odin detected it correctly. But odin can't flash phone in ramdump mode so it didn't worked. So now the problems I am facing are: 1- Phone is stuck at samsung logo, can't go in recovery mode. 2- Odin not detecting phone in downloading mode. Is there something what I can do to fix this? Please help! Thank you. |
19542 | Xperia Arc shows 3G signal but not connecting to Internet | I have an Xperia Arc L15i about 5 months old, suddenly I have started experiencing problems with my 3G/2G service. I have the _Access Points properly set up_ (confirmed the same also with my service provider) and when I start the Data Service it shows up the 3G signal (full strength) but cannot connect to Internet. Tried with the inbuilt browser, Opera mini and neither is the market accessible. Network mode is **WCDMA/GSM** and even if try with **Only GSM** still its the same issue with 2G. Is there anything else I need to look into or could it be a handset issue (not sure since I can see the H symbol). Any idea ? **EDIT** It seems i can access the net via WiFi, now i am puzzled (in case some wonder my data plan is valid) |
19547 | How to protect my Google Account? | I am very concerned with security of my Google account in case I lose the phone (as in: lose it, have it stolen/robbed, etc.). Right now it seems that whoever grabs my phone will also have full access to mail, calendar etc. I would be perfectly happy to sync manually and/or have a password prompt every time I try to sync, but I don't see this option. How can I protect my account? Is screen lock any good? How hard is it to bypass it? The phone is HTC Desire should it matter. |
19544 | Screen size and density of Samsung Galaxy Y | I want to know about the screen size and density of the Samsung Galaxy Y. Which category of screen size (small, normal, large,x-large) or density (ldpi, mdpi, hdpi, x-hdpi) is its screen? Any references would be helpful. |
