69415 | How can I stop Android from synchronizing videos while still synchronizing photos? | I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 which is great for watching movies. I move them from my computer via USB to the "Movies" folder and it just works fine. But one thing that I don't like is that the movie is synchronized. It gets automatically uploaded. I can see it on https://plus.google.com/photos/yourphotos. And I don't like that. How can I prevent Android from doing this? |
69414 | Transferring files between PC and Android Sony Z1 Compact (KitKat) without needing app (i.e. via standard USB mass storage) | When I plug my Sony Z1 Compact Android phone into my Mac or PC, the phone prompts me to install a program on the PC/Mac. Can I not just have the phone behave as a standard, common USB Mass Storage class (i.e. like a USB pen drive, hard drive, or SD card), without having to install a program on the host PC? This is an inconvenience as if wanting to transfer to a PC that's not my own, I may not be in the position to install such a program. **Update** This was so easy on Android 2.3 on a HTC Desire Z - plug it into a Mac, PC or Linux desktop (i.e. the host), phone asks which mode it should be in, select the USB storage / harddrive option and then the phone appears as an ordinary external disk on the host machine. |
69411 | How to be alerted when to get off the train? | Let's say I'm playing a game, reading a book, surfing the net or watching a video and I'm getting close to my stop. Is there some way (perhaps an app) that can alert me that it's time to get off? **Other situations where this app would be useful** * Dark platforms at night where it's difficult to see where I'm at * Crowded services where I just can't see out the window reliably * Travel in a foreign country where signage is in a different script * Travelling along unfamiliar routes * Useful for other modes of public transport as well **How it would work** I imagine an app like this would allow the user to configure the location of the stop via maps and set the amount of lead time (e.g. I want to be alerted five minutes before we arrive). The app would then monitor progress along the route and also estimate the lead time based on progress so far or some other smart means. Any ideas? |
77020 | Samsung s3 makes "plugged in" noises while charging | I have recently bought a third party USB cable. I am still using the original wall adapter that I got. Now, I noticed that while charging, it sometimes makes the "plugged in" sound as if I had just plugged in the cable onto my phone. It does that several times randomly and I thought I just hadn't plugged it in correctly, but I've checked and that is not the case? Is there a problem with NON-Samsung USB cables (if such thing even exists)? The phone does charge, it never stops charging, but it makes that notification sound as if I had just put it to charge, even though it has been charging for some time already. |
77028 | Cannot flash factory image to Google Glass | Sometime from last month, my Google Glass keeps rebooting "ok, glass" screen, and I cannot run and test my app. The firmware was XE17.x (I don't remember what was .x unfortunately.) I tried to flash factory image via adb based on the instruction below. https://developers.google.com/glass/tools-downloads/system After I tried $ adb reboot bootloader $ fastboot devices $ fastboot flash boot boot.img the last operation (flash boot.img) doesn't return. Then I tried unlocking the device. The first trial worked, and I got below response. $ adb reboot bootloader $ fastboot devices $ fastboot oem unlock ... (bootloader) Warning: Unlocking your device will void your warranty (bootloader) and erase your personal data from the device. (bootloader) Run "fastboot oem unlock" again to confirm. (bootloader) Device still locked. OKAY [ 0.001s] finished. total time: 0.001s But second trial of unlocking failed like below (i.e. no response returned). $ fastboot oem unlock ... Is there any way to flash factory image on Glass under such situation ? Right now I have no way to make my Glass work normally again. Thanks. |
43462 | How to disable duplicate calendar notifications? | My stock Nexus 4 (4.2.2) is giving me multiple calendar notifications every day. It gives me one notification which is a reminder for a specific upcoming event, and it gives me a second notification which is sort of a general roll- up of upcoming events. Here's an example of the two notifications:  Screenshot (click image to enlarge) I rely heavily on the reminder notifications, but I find the rollup to be useless for me. I've verified that both are coming from the Calendars app by long-pressing on the notifications and clicking on App Info. How do I disable the second "roll-up" calendar notification? |
43461 | How can I root my Yarvik Tab411? | How can I root my tablet, the yarvik tab411? I tried to find information on the internet, but had no success.

4728 | Moto Droid - Screen Going Crazy / SD Card Contents | So about an hour ago I was texting and noticed that when I would try to hit certain letters using the on-screen keyboard that it would think I pressed the keys to the left or right of a certain area. It seemed like a deadspot to me and already I was disappointed but it wasn't a giant issue as I could just use the hardware keyboard til I got it fixed. Now, however, after ~1 minute of being booted up, the screen just starts going crazy, loading random applications, zooming in on stuff, flickering left and right like I was swiping it. I was wondering if anyone had any experience as to what can cause this (other than hardware failure) and if you think doing a factory reset will help at all (assuming I can get through the options fast enough before the screen goes nuts). Also, before trying a factory reset, I was wondering what all is stored on the SD card by default. I'm not really worried about apps (I'll just re-download them) or contacts (synced with Google I believe), but more media (pictures / videos [both that I took and downloaded] / music). Now common sense would suggest that media items would all be stored on the SD card, but I know from experience not to assume things like this. If you could fill me in it would be much appreciated. |
4724 | Bigger Notification Bar? | Is there a way to make the Notification Bar thicker? I recently bought this case and it makes it incredibly hard to pull down the notification bar. I was wondering if there was a way to thicken the notification bar, without completely hacking the phone? I have a Motorola Droid X |
43468 | WiFi Tether Causes a BSOD in Laptop Using Intel WiFi Hardware | On a rooted Nexus 4 using stock 4.2.2, if I enable Wifi tether then connect my laptop (a Lenovo T520 using Centrino Advanced-N 6205 hardware with driver v15.3.1.2) I get a BSOD within seconds. I am using the stock tether app. I read elsewhere that I am not the only one with this problem, but Intel refuses to acknowledge it. I even waited for an updated Wifi driver to come out, which I installed today, but the problem persists. According a thread on XDA-Dev, the workaround is to set the Local IP to 192.168.1.100 instead of 192.168.1.1 and the DHCP starting IP to 192.168.1.101 instead of 192.168.1.10. But since I am using the stock tethering app these settings are not available. **Is there a tweak app that would allow me to do this? Or are there other workarounds to this issue?** TIA |
4722 | How to optimize energy consumption during GPS tracking? | Very often I use my phone and the app MyTracks or GPSTrackerLite to track my hiking/biking tours. This really works great and I'm thrilledy by the lot of possibilities in combination with google maps, facebook etc. However there is one problem: If I'm tracking the battery lasts only a few hours. This is enough for most hikes, but for daytrips, it isn't sufficient. Do you have any tips how to save energy? For example using plane mode? Would this decrease the energy consumption? Are there any other functions I could disable? I'm using HTC Desire. |
19706 | Are there commercially available devices that support more languages than those officially supported by Google? | According to Google, there are some 57 languages/dialects that are officially supported by stock Android. Of course, since Android is open source, there is nothing to stop a device manufacturer, or cell service provider, or even end user from adding support for new languages/dialects. Now, just because it is possible, that doesn't mean that it has been done, or at least that it has been done on a scale large enough to make an impact. For example, I would likely not spend my time translating my app for a language that 5 people have manually added to their own devices, however if a manufacturer of devices has decided to add support for an additional language that is now in the hands of some thousands of users, that may be a useful translation to make even though it is not officially supported by the AOSP. So, is there any way to find this out? Or if not officially, is there any anecdotal evidence out there that this type of thing is going on? |
19707 | Can I USB-tether my Android tablet to my Android phone? | IIs it possible to USB-tether my wifi-only Galaxy Tab to my Galaxy S? I know how to wifi tether but it is a huge battery hog. Is there a mini-USB version of the Galaxy Tab cable? If so, can it be used to tether? Thanks in advance... |
19702 | Can I use a pin/password/pattern lock and safely have basic phone functionality while in car? | I would like to lock my phone with a pin for additional security. Also, I try to minimize my phone usage in the car, but in the event that I do need to call someone, I would like to be able to do so without having to enter a pin. I would like to do this by automated means if possible. I see two possible directions, but there could be others 1. Use some third-party lockscreen app that supports pin/password/pattern while containing shortcuts to a few apps. I've seen lockscreens that have shortcuts to certain apps, but they don't provide a pin lock. 2. Have a Car Home app that automatically launches when I plug in the headphones. Car Widget launches on headphone plugin, but it provides access to other screens as well, which I don't want. It has to be headphones though, I don't have a car dock or bluetooth or even a car power cable. |
19708 | How do I get rid of the "shut the screen off" animation on Droid 4? | I just want the screen to go black. No fade, no "old style tube tv" animation. Is there a way to make it do this? |
17622 | Are there any distributed-computing Apps for Android? | I've just found out about Boincoid: a port of the BOINC platform to the Android operating system as a platform for computing using volunteered resources (like SETI@home, Climateprediction.net, Rosetta@home, World Community Grid, etc). There isn't an actual app for Boincoid but just a zip package with a list of instructions dated from 2008. Are there any other applications being developed for distributed-computing on Android? |
17625 | Where is debugging mode on Kindle Fire? | I want to connect Kindle Fire with Eclipse to develop apps but I don't see any entry like "Development" in "Settings". What's wrong with it? If it doesn't exist on KF, is there any way to do that? When I open Manage on Windows XP, a yellow exclamation mark appears on Kindle. Is its driver missing? |
17624 | One-click full backup & dropbox sync in Titanium Backup? | Is it possible to make a full backup of everything and then it sync into dropbox (and repeat if syncing was unsuccessful) with a one click? I'd like to just launch a backup procedure and go sleeping knowing that when I wake up, everything that could be done was done... and Titanium Backup's interface is so confusing to me. I've got a pro version. |
41828 | CM7 messaging shows only date, not time | I have installed cyanogenmod 7.2.0.1-bravo on my HTC Desire. For messages received before today the messaging app shows only the date without the time. (For today it shows only the time.) Furthermore there is no "message details" option in the menu to view the complete date+time for any message. How can I view the time of older messages? |
13530 | How do I stop com.google.process.gaps force closing randomly? | Motorola Xoom running Honeycomb 3.1, for the last few days, every few minutes I get a popup in the middle of the screen saying: > Sorry! The process com.google.process.gaps has stopped unexpectedly. PLease > try again. Force close This happens when I'm running pretty much any app: browser, Google Reader, Gallery, GMail, File Manager HD, etc. Can't work out any pattern to i, sometimes it happens every couple of minutes, sometimes I can go for 10 or more minutes without seeing it. What's causing this (or how can I tell what's causing this) and how can I stop it? **Update** This does appear to only happen when I've got a network connection (mine's a Wifi only tablet) - after installing alogcat, I did a 40 minute commute on a train using Google Listen and playing Angry Birds, with no errors popping up at all (and therefore no way to catch anything in the log. Will have to wait until I'm home again to investigate further. |
13533 | How can I merge contacts in CyanogenMod? | Can I merge contacts in CyanogenMod 7 like I was able to do in HTC Sense? Let's that I have my contact 'John Smith', then I import contacts from Facebook and a new John Smith appeared. I want these two contacts to be merged under one single contact. Can I do that somehow in CyanogenMod 7? |
13532 | How to add an old podcast episode to Google Reader, so I find it in my Google Listen app? | I subscribe to podcasts via Google Reader, which puts them on the Google Listen app on my phone. But there are some podcast episodes that are very old that I can see in reader which I want on my phone. How do I tell reader I want a specific old podcast episode to appear in Google Listen on my phone? Searching old podcasts from the phone is a miserable task. |
41820 | Phone only charges when plugged into AC adapter or computer | I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 x. It only charges when plugged in to the AC adapter and my laptop, and doesn't charge using battery packs or in the car. I use the same cord for everything. Why is this? |

57953 | How to re-update Android version 4.4 KitKat? | 3 days ago, my Nexus 4 smartphone started to update its Android version from 4.3 to 4.4. During the update process, there was an internet problem. Because of that, I guess the new version 4.4 Kitkat was not completely installed. Some functions are missing; some of them are installed. Can anybody tell me what to do? |
20730 | What kind of upgrade procedure can I expect after rooting my tablet? | I am considering rooting my Galaxy Tab 10.1, mainly to get rid of some obnoxious bloatware that really annoys me. I've read this post, and this one, and found these instructions which are nice and clear. I think I'm set as far as executing on this process. What is not clear to me is down the road, when new versions come out, what the upgrade process will look like. 1. Will I be notified in any way shape or form of any upgrades? (my current non-rooted phone alerts me when a new OS upgrade is available.) 2. Will I have to go through an equally complicated procedure with every upgrade, or is it much simpler once the initial rooting is done? |

20739 | Adding tags to photos in the Gallery | The Gallery has an option to group photos by "People" and "Tags". Does anyone know how to set these tags? There doesn't appear to be a feature to tag photos taken with the phone's camera, and I've tried copying an existing tagged photo onto the phone (both via MTP and email) and the tags were ignored. |
20738 | Restoring messages from ClockworkMod backup | Here's the story. Today my phone (modded with Cyanogen mod) started bootlooping. So, I did a ClockworkMod backup and went about installing the latest version of Cyanogen mod. When that was done, I restored the backup, but it started bootlooping yet again. So now, I have a fresh install of Cyanogen mod but none of my texts or call logs etc, all my contacts were sync'd from my Facebook anyway so I can get them back easily. Does anyone know how I can extract my text messages from the ClockworkMod backup without sending my device back into a bootloop? Cheers! |
62503 | How to disable screen lock during Android development? | I am developing Android app with my daily phone, I want to turn off screen lock only during development. I can done this manually, but that is too troublesome and sometimes I forgot to enable it back after development. Are there anyway to done this automatically? i.e. turn off screen lock when connected to USB? |

62506 | Nexus 5 won't connect to PC | I have a Nexus 5. It is fairly new - I bought it about 2 weeks ago. I have previously plugged it into my Windows 7 PC and been able to access the files on it. However, today when I plugged it in, the PC couldn't find it. Some googling and investigation found that the device driver wasn't installed - and then it said that it didn't exist. I have downloaded the Google USB Driver from the official site. But when I told it to update/install this driver, I was told the driver didn't exist. The LG Driver installed, but the PC still doesn't "see" the phone to let me use it as a USB. I don't want a complicated solution. I just want to be able to get my photos off my phone and onto my computer. |
13289 | Android 2.2.3 - long delay after phone call end | There's a long delay between the call end (even when I press "End Call" button) and when I can use the notification bar again for example. The in-call green phone icon stays in the notification bar for another few seconds. Is there anything I can do about this, please? |
13282 | How can I record high quality audio with my HTC Desire? | I would like to record interviews, edit them on a computer and include them in a podcast. There is a 'voice recorder app' built in, but the sound quality is awful, much worse than a dictaphone. It also records in .amr format, but I want a lossless format (either, flac or wav). I would also like to record up to an hour, which should be possible as the SD Card is nearly 4GB. Is there a solution for this? |
46653 | How do I keep given apps always running? Looking for how to relaunch them periodically | Throughout the day, my phone's kernel kills my memory-resident apps at random, probably because the phone had run out of memory. The apps are Backitude, Dropsync, Llama, MightyText, and Screebl. (All five apps run as background services, yet my phone's kernel still kills them.) The workaround I did is to have a Llama event that relaunches the other four apps every 3 hours. The fourth app is tricky because Screebl doesn't turn on when launched. So far so good. **The problem is .. if the kernel kills Llama.** I'm looking for a timed launcher, I think. It needs to launch Llama every 3 hours, so that llama can launch the other four apps, _and this timed launcher_ , every 3 hours. The set-up is sort of like those old Windows viruses that come in two executables; each exe makes sure the other is always running. I cross my fingers the kernel doesn't kill them both. I'm looking for suggestions. How do I keep given apps always running? P.S. Heh, I see that this is the opposite of this community wikied question. |
46650 | speaker option enabled by default when answering the calls | Can any of the applications change the call settings? All of a sudden have observed that when an incoming call is answered, Speaker is enabled by default. After uninstalling some of the applications related to calls, it became normal. But I would like to know what/which caused the change in settings. Apps I deleted are TrueCaller, Call Recorder. Any information related to this is helpful. Thanks in advance.

42339 | Google Now suddenly disappeared | I'm running Android 4.2.2 on a Galaxy Nexus with the February 13, 2013 update of Google Search installed. **Google Now was working great until it suddenly ceased to appear today.** Widgets now display "Get Google Now", and the Google Now screen itself only contains a search box, not even showing the Google Now- related items that were in the settings menu previously. I rebooted the phone multiple times and upgraded all apps, but the problem has persisted for the last few hours. What gives, and **is there a way to "reset" Google Now?** |
42335 | Can't install Google Play Services | I just upgraded Google+ to 3.6.0.44338848 (released late March 2012) and now it won't launch. It says: > This app won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your > phone. If I tap "Get Google Play services" I'm brought to Google Play where I tap "install" and "accept and download" but then I get "Error: No connection." (I do have a connection. I can browse the web just fine.) Now, I should mention that Market/Play has been odd the whole time, I've had this phone, a T-Mobile myTouch 4G running Android 2.2.1. Whenever I want to install an app, I have to go into Applications, tap Google Play Store, and tap "Uninstall updates" to restore the Market app. Then I can install applications. Over time, some process upgrades Market to Google Play but I can't install applications until I downgrade to Market to avoid the "Error: no connection" message. The processes is frustrating. On my old LG phone (also running 2.2 Google Play worked just fine). I'm been putting up with all this downgrading because it's not often I install apps and usually there's no problem after installing or upgrading an app. But now the Google+ app is unusable so I'm motivated to do something about the "No connection" problem. I've read through posts such as http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/01/14/fix- google-play-store-no-connection-retry-error-message/ and Google's help page at How to access the Google Play Store app - Google Play Help but I'm stuck. Please help. |
42337 | Download Region or State for offline Map | Is it possible to download an entire state offline map for Google Maps via a 3rd party app? I know that if you download the offline map through Google Maps it allows you to download an area roughly equivalent to a city. Currently I've been stitching the offline maps together but its a very long and tedious process. I'm not concerned about size or bandwidth that it may use. |
42336 | Was Firefox ever the default browser for Android? | Before I bought my Android, I heard that Firefox was its default browser.

Was Firefox ever the Android's default browser, and what is it now? |
42330 | TTS and STT while driving - Samsung G3 (BlueTooth) | I have a few cell phones, and have never had a problem with TTS/STT with my 2012 Rio until I got a Samsung S3. My Rio has build in blue tooth. My HTC WP7, iPhone, and BlackBerry read messages out loud to me in my cars built in blue-tooth, and let me talk back to re-send the message. With Android, it just beeps. What I expected (and what I got from my other phones): Car: New text message from "so and So". Do you want to read, or ignore. me: read. Car: Reads message. Car: Do you want to reply, or cancel? me: Reply Car: [beep] Me: say what I want. car: repeats what I've said to verify Me: Send done. This works on all my other phones without the need to install other software. Any thoughts on how to get this working on my Samsung S3? |
42332 | Push a ROM to Galaxy S3 (d2att) while in TWRP/CWM? | My friend has royally buggered up his phone and we can't get a file onto the phone in order to reflash the ROM. We are able to get into the recovery (either TWRP or CWM) and reflash the recovery via Odin- but not able to get anything to onto the phone to flash! CWM doesn't seem to have an `adb sideload` option on version 6.0.1.2 and adb wouldn't recognize the device in TWRP. Any ideas? |

48558 | Where does Google MyTracks store recorded files? | I am not 100% sure of this but I seem to remember that in previous versions of MyTracks the recorded files were stored at **/mnt/sdcard/MyTracks**. But this does not seem to be the case any more. By previous I mean version prior to _at least_ version **2.0.4** which is what I currently have. I have recorded several tracks but can't find the files at **/mnt/sdcard/MyTracks**. In fact there is no such folder name on that location. So where does it store recorded files now? I need the GPX files. I tried searching for "mytrack" and also "mytracks" (case insensitive) in File Expert app at **/mnt/sdcard** but it found no folders. It did find some files. com.google.android.maps.mytracks /mnt/sdcard/android/data/com.google.android.maps.mytracks cache_vts_com.google.android.maps.mytracks.0 /mnt/sdcard/android/data/com.google.android.maps.mytracks/cache/ And additional 4 files in the same location. But I can't see any GPX files in here. Attempting to search at root causes File Expert process to crash. |
20085 | Do external booster antennas help with 4G reception? | I have a Sprint HTC-EVO 4G. Today it's snowing, I'm in a downtown high-rise, and I'm only getting 3G. Would a booster antenna help (either now, or in general)? |
48553 | mobile network problem after jellybean upgrade | I upgraded my sony tipo dual to jellybean using cyangenmod 10 using this tutorial. I was able to do most of the things without any problems. But after upgrade I am unable to connect to mobile network. Even unable to save APNs in the phone. I tried restore factory settings. I tired to set my network APN to default but am entirely unable to save my APNs (any APNs). I tried re-installing the whole process again. But nothing has helped yet. |
20082 | Adjust long press of back button to kill app in CM7? | As you may know, CM7 has this nice feature where you can hold down the Back button to kill a misbehaving app (Settings > Applications > Development > Stop app via long-press). Unfortunately this feature kills apps too quickly for my taste; I find myself killing apps that I didn't intend to kill at least a couple of times a day. Mostly this is a mere inconvenience, but I fear that at some point I'll corrupt some file by accidentally quitting an app that's writing to it. Is it possible, perhaps through some hidden settings file, to adjust how long the long-press for this button must be? I'd like to at least double it. |
20081 | adb command to search the filesystem | Is there an adb command similar to "locate" or "grep" that would help me find a file on my Android device? I'm curious about adb specifically, not a search app. EDIT: "find" has been suggested, but on my ICS device: hydrangea@turnsole:~$ adb shell find / -name *maps* /system/bin/sh: find: not found On my Gingerbread device it works, though. (Except I haven't rooted that device so it lacks permission.) hydrangea@turnsole:~$ adb shell find / -name *maps* find: permission denied |

10398 | Android Honeycomb Stock Email Font | I'm using the stock email on Android 3.1 (ASUS Transformer) and I've configured my corporate email. I need to know if it's possible to change the font used when creating or replying to emails. The font used, whilst nice enough, is a little too large. Whats worse is when I view those sent emails in Windows 7/Outlook 2010, it gets rendered as Times New Roman. |
10399 | Google contacts stopped syncing | I've had my HTC Evo since it came out a year ago. My Google contacts synced flawlessly numerous times during this period. I rooted my phone on 5/23 with unrevoked, and everything still seemed to be fine. I only add this for the small chance that rooting is involved. I have not applied the gingerbread update, and I haven't done a system update since the last OTA forever ago. According to the accounts and sync screen, the last time my contacts synced was on 6/7. Since this was a week ago, I can't really think of anything I could've done that would break my contact syncing. When I go and try to resync, it acts like it's trying, and it doesn't change the sync date. Also, data isn't going between my phone and my Gmail account. Gmail and calendar syncing seem to work fine. I haven't noticed any other issues. Any clue as to what could cause this and how to fix it? |
7219 | How do I change the function of the earphone button? | I have a Nexus S running Gingerbread and I use the stock app to listen to music. The bundled earphone has a button that plays/pauses music, but I find this redundant since I can either reduce the volume or pull out the earphone jack when I want to interact with the rest of the world. It would be really awesome if I could change the function to "Next Track" instead since it'd be easy to skip a track while I'm on my bike. Is there an easy way to achieve this? |

6211 | Can't see Nexus One as a USB drive when connecting to Windows 7 | I've connected my N1 to my Windows 7, and I don't see it as a USB drive.

Now I don't) What should I do to access the files? |
54418 | Kies - Reflashing Samsung Galaxy Y | My problem is that I messed up some binaries in the ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Y (GT-S5360L). Specifically, most of the binaries in `/system/bin` are gone, thanks to Busybox Installer. This means I can still use my phone for basic things (calling, texting, music), but advanced things like connecting to wifi, turning on "find my mobile," etc, are now broken. Naturally, I got Samsung Kies, put my phone into download mode, and tried to reflash the firmware. The only problem is, after Kies downloads the firmware, gives the appropriate warnings and disclaimers, and says "preparing firmware," it gives me a random error in Chinese. (I can't read Chinese, sadly.) I rebooted my phone, its the same deal, nothing has been changed. (Luckily, my phone has not been hard bricked.) I have already tried flashing with Kies again, same problem. I tried connecting the USBcable to another port, and using a different USB cable, nothing worked. Why doesn't a firmware upgrade with Kies work like it should? All help is greatly appreciated. |

6219 | Do I have to calibrate my battery after a reinstall? | When I installed Cyanogen Mod 7, I 'accidently' clicked 'Wipe Battery Status' even though my battery wasn't fully charged. Now I have no idea what this exactly does (even more reason I shouldn't have clicked it), but I'm wondering whether the phone has anyway of knowing when or if the battery's full. So should I calibrate my battery and if so, how would I have to do this? |

41179 | How to increase internal memory of the HTC Wildfire S finally? | I've been spending a lot of sleepless nights trying to fix this. I know there are a lot of threads like this on the internet, but I want to go a bit deeper. I have an HTC Wildfire S with only 512 MB internal flash memory. This internal memory has a partition layout allocation around 130 MB for the `/data` partition and around 290 MB for the `/system` partition. Both of them are full. (In addition I got a 16 GB SD-card.) Installing apps, upgrading apps, running most of the apps - impossible. Now, I knew it's possible to move apps to SD-card, the so called **apps2sd** procedure which offers very limited functionality to move _some_ of the application data to the SD-card. Anyways after moving every possible data to SD the internal memory was still full and the phone unusable. I was reading about more sustainable methods like **data2sd**. I gave it a try. I used the instructions from htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader, I installed the latest ClockWorkMod Recovery and rooted the device permanently. Finally, I used the rooted device to install Android 4.1.2 AOKP Jelly Bean Custom ROM and Data2SD like discribed in the linked articles. But I was stuck the device was not booting until I removed Data2SD. The AOKP-ROM was working pretty well and stable, but installing Data2SD simply did not work in combination with Jelly Bean (SD-card formatting: 11 GB FAT23, 4GB ext4 and 256 MB Swap). Now, I tried to go for the **link2sd** approach. I reformatted my SD-card (14 GB FAT32 and 2GB ext4) and installed Link2SD on my phone as described here. I was able to move additional data and apps to my SD-card and could link some apps to the card. And now after some days playing around with all that usefull tipps from the internet, for example this thread: What can I do to manage my phone's internal storage? \- **I am at the point where I started**. This is my result: Internal memory is still full and the phone is still unusable. (I would love to post a screenshot, but taking screenshots simply does not work currently.)  How to finally fix my internal memory on the Wildfire S? Why is Data2SD not working with the Jelly Bean ROM and why is Link2SD so ineffective? Is there anything I'm doing wrong? The main problem seems to be the Dalvik Cache on the `/data` partition (around 100 MB). Is there any way to completly use the SD card to somehow get partitions mounted at `/data` and `/system`? |

41176 | Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) released for AT&T HTC One X .... but how to install it on unlocked AT&T phone? | Though there are few questions already existing about AT&T HTC One X in the forum but this one is a bit different. AT&T has recently released long awaited Jelly Bean update for HTC One X. But when I am trying to update the software on my phone using Settings --> AT&T Software Update, nothing happens. I have read that other users are also experiencing this problem and this is probably due to phone being Unlocked! Moreover, I have read that normal Jelly Bean ROM cannot/shouldn't be installed on AT&T HTC One X as the specification of AT&T's model is different. Can anyone please tell us how to update software on our Unlocked phones? Thanks! |

59620 | "Youtube for TV" device compatibility | I have a Genesis GT-1230 tablet, running Android 4.0.3. It has an HDMI output that I can connect to my TV. My goal is to use Youtube Remote on my phone, paired to the the Youtube for TV app watch videos. I already have Youtube Remote on my phone, and I can pair it with a browser on my computer. However I'd like to try it on my TV, and I got no HDMI devices other than this tablet. So my plan is to at least try Youtube for TV on this tablet and see if it suites me. I'm trying to install the "Youtube for TV" app but Google Play says it is incompatible. So I tried to install on other device, and sideload it to the tablet (I have done this before sucessfully). The problem is, I can't find any device compatible with it. I have tried with Motorola MB300, MB525, Moto Spice, Moto G, Genesis GT1230, (and "emulated" Nexus 4, Galaxy S3, Nexus 7 and ASUS Transformer Pad TF300TG). None was successfull. |

40880 | Android phone ICS cannot connect to internet through LAN | I have an Android phone that connects to my local area network via WiFi. The LAN consists of a switch and a Debian box that acts as a router, with two interfaces: one external and one internal. For some reason, after updating to Ice Cream Sandwich, my phone can no longer get through to the internet although it can connect to all machines on my LAN. Any thoughts on what might be causing this routing problem? When I try to access the net from the phone, I see `ARP, Request`s that seem to go unanswered, eg: > ARP, Request who-has yyz06s05-in-f7.1e100.net tell ... It seems as if traffic isn't getting routed back to my phone properly. I run my own DNS, one internal and one external. Thanks for any ideas. P.S. I downloaded an nslookup utility onto the phone (using cellular network, which does work) and the phone properly gets served DNS from my home network. Also, FYI, other devices connect to the WiFi fine. Finally, the phone MAC address _DOES_ appear in arp -i eth1 output. I am thoroughly confused. |

11116 | Is there any known full device/disk encryption software for android 2.2? | I have not found anything in the app store or other stores, Is there any known full device/disk encryption software for android 2.2, that you have test on your device? if so what is the device? FYI:I know honeycomb supports this natively, but my device does not support HC. |
8717 | Strange data plan speed on Nexus S | I have a Nexus S and a GPRS plan activated, from what customer services of my mobile carrier have told me is that GPRS will give you max of 10-15 kB/s download speed. In my Nexus S if i don't select "Use Only 2G" in "mobile network" setting i get speeds up to 80kB/S and the symbol in the status bar shows 3G symbol. As soon as i select the "Use only 2G Network" my download speed drops to 10 kB/s. I have used spedtest application to check speed. I have verified with my Mobile carrier and i do not have any 3G plan activated. How is this Possible, i don't want to get any kind of shock when i receive my Mobile bill :) Edit : My mistake, corrected capitalizations. |
50880 | Can I program Tasker-like programs to do stuff if specific WiFi network is in range? | I'd like to try out Tasker, Llama or some such automated program. However, I do NOT want to program events based on GPS or other location information (for a variety of reasons not germane to this question). Is there a way to trigger tasks in Tasker or some equivalent program based on the fact that a WiFi network with a specific SSID (or other signature) is in range or goes out of range? To clarify: one of the main tasks is to turn on/off my WiFi when I float in/out of the range of known networks. Therefore, merely being in range should be the trigger, NOT connected to the network. |
50882 | Looking for a good library of Tasker scripts/recipes | I am looking for a library of Tasker scripts/recipes. By "Good", I mean the following features are a must: * Sizable (say, 1000 recipes total at least) * Fully categorized recipes * Fully searchable (don't care if internally or via Google) * Preferably, has user based voting/ratings, and a user base of 1000+ people who rate. I don't really care what format the recipes/scripts are (e.g something that is code readable by Tasker, or instructions readable by a person, are both fine). * * * What I am NOT looking for: * Some blog article with 'top 10 Tasker recipes * Actual tasker scripts posted as answers |
50884 | Phone frozen for a short time after unplugging from charger | When my screen is off and I unplug my Nexus 4 from the charger, the phone is frozen with the screen off for about 10 seconds. Power/volume buttons have no effect and the phone will not wake. If the screen is on when I unplug, there is no problem and the phone is responsive. This isn't really a big issue, but I'm just curious as to why it happens and what's going on with my phone during that time. Any ideas? |
50887 | Which app can create a background image without distortions? | My device is a Nexus 7 (2012 edition), running Android 4.3. I downloaded some nice wallpapers from http://vathanx.deviantart.com/art/Impulso-114624053 and placed them in the SD card. Resolutions are 1920x1200 or 1600x1200. To set the wallpaper I long-click the background, select Gallery, then the folder & the image & keep the cropping as suggested. However, once this is set, the image is distorted and not smooth. Besides, it seems some color information has been lost as well and the gradients are not smooth anymore.  Screenshot after adding the image (click image for larger variant) Is there any App which handles this properly? I can accept a little blurriness and reduced colors, but the current result is simply too low quality. |
66979 | Way to root s4 without triggering knox | I've heard about root De la vega but it seems too complicated for me and I just have a feeling I'm going to brick my phone with that. Are there any other (less complicated) ways to root s4 without triggering knox? |
66974 | Selecting a large range of files in Astro File Manager | After I've put Astro File Manager into "multi-select" mode, how do I quickly select a large range of files? Like in my directory I have over 25,000 files! I want to delete say maybe the first 3,000 of them. So I put Astro File Manager into "multi-select" mode, but then I can't figure out how to select so many files quickly. I don't want to have to select the 3,000 files one-by-one you know! I would like it to be as simple as: 1. I put Astro File Manager in "multi-select" mode. 2. I select the first file I want to delete. 3. I scroll. 4. I select the last file I want to delete. 5. It automatically selects all of the files between the first one I selected and the last one I selected. 6. I can delete them all very fast fast fast! Is there any way to do that? Is there any other file manager app that will let me do what I so badly need to do? |
66971 | How to turn on USB connection to PC | I bought a KingSing K5 Android phone, and there doesn't seem to be an option for turning on USB connection to PC (to transfer files).

66970 | Make RAMDISK world writeable | From this question: Is it possible to create a RAMDisk / Ramdrive for Android 4.x? the question is answered how to create a RAMdisk under Android. The problem is, no matter how I try to create it, I am not able to create any files on it (I get Permission Denied). This is with `chmod 1777` on the mounted directory. |
66972 | Does rooting void s4 warranty if the thing that is wrong is not the fault of rooting? | I have a galaxy s4 from AT&T with knox on it. And I just want to root (no custom roms) but if my phone breaks or something I don't want to void my warranty because it's rooted. So is my warranty voided automatically with root or is it voided only if the root is the cause of the problem. |
78528 | How to flash Android onto an empty Samsung GT-P3100 (OMAP4430) | I'm about to purchase a replacement motherboard for a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3100) as the original one has developed a hardware fault. Unfortunately the sellers (eBay) won't say if Android (or anything else) is preloaded on the boards. So assuming that the boards come completely empty, how can I flash this board? Would the OMAP4430 be configured so that it follows a boot sequence similar to the one described on OMAPPEDIA. For example, could I load ClockWorkMod via a SD card or USB? If USB is included in the boot sequence, what tools would I need to flash the system? |
56109 | Is there any way to dump the Data Usage log through the ADB shell? | The reason I would need to dump these data is because in smalls display (S5301) doesn't fit everything and data is cut. I couldn't do anything to move that graphic. Look,  I've searched in Google but without success. |
56102 | Text-to-Speech Going too fast | I have recently installed this app into my Samsung Galaxy Y mobile phone running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

I am not able to find any settings too. What should I do? Is this problem solvable? |

57270 | Power Drainage Issue Note 1 | I am having an issue where my battery will drain normally but sometimes when I begin using an App, the phone can go from 76% battery to dead. The phone will try to restart and then dies. I will plug in my phone and it will show 0% battery but moments later it will return to 76%. This is happening more and more frequently where if I am using images it will die. I have the phone on power save mode and turn off all unnecessary applications and it still happens. Can someone tell me why? |
