65694 | nexus 4 “storage space running out” issue | I'm using Nexus 4 which is not rooted. My phone started to giving me the low memory warning after have lot pic n video recording.

65697 | Mobile data is not working after missed call | I have this strange issue in Sony Xperia U. Currently I am using 6.1.1.B.1.100 bulid ICS 4.0.4. There is no option in mobile network to select 2g or 3g or 2g/3g. All I have is `Use only 3g networks` in my settings. But I managed to select 2g network from the code `*#*4636#*#*` ( **Phone info** ) and select `GSM only` in `Select prefferred network type`. But the problem is this when I am using 2g data( to save juice) whenever I get a missed call after that my mobile data is unavailable( I know unlike 3g in 2g you cant use data during voice call but this is after the missed call). This is not happening if I am in 3g and only for missed calls alone. The only way I am able to use the data again is I have to enable 3g again and change back to 2g. Is this normal? Any workaround for this? I didnt find this when I am using previous build. |
65691 | Synchronising files over SSH | I have an SSH server providing access to my files at home, secured by a private key. I'd like to be able to synchronise those files with my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy Note, running Cyanogenmod 11 (Android 4.4.2). I need two-way synchronisation: edits and deletes on the phone should be synchronised to the server, and edits and deletes on the server should be synchronised to the phone. Ideally, this tool would run in the background, but I would be able to trigger it manually if required. Does such a tool exist? I've been unable to find one either in the Play Store or F-Droid. |
16230 | Application ROM Manager is uninstalled, but market wants to update it every day | I uninstalled ROM Manager. Since I did so, I've received daily notifications from the Market saying there's an update. I've logged into the market via the desktop browser and ROM manager is not listed as an installed application. (Though many I have uninstalled ages ago are listed, but that's another matter). The notifications are annoying. How can I kill ROM Manager once and for all? HTC Desire running Cyanogenmod7 |
16233 | Downloading a .ics file from a url without opening the browser? | Ok, this is a little complicated. My uni allows my academic calendar to be downloaded as an ics file from a particular url that is specific to my calendar. I have downloaded ICS Bot which transfers ics files into google calendar so I can view it on my HTC Sensation in a calendar. If I download the .ics file and then the calendar's events change I will not have the up to date events. Therefore I need to regularly update the calendar myself by downloading the updated .ics file from the url. I want an app/a single button that can download my .ics file without me having to open my browser, go to the page displaying my link and then clicking save as to get the new calendar. Is there a way to do this??? Many many thanks. **EDIT** I found some interesting discussions but I have no clue how to get a app from code: http://www.helloandroid.com/tutorials/how-download-fileimage-url-your-device http://androidforums.com/developer-101/166103-downloading-file-url-caching- android.html |

51826 | Is there a way to start a torrent on my Android stick remotely? | I have a Windows home computer with uTorrent installed. With the BitTorrent WebUi addon to Firefox I am able to start downloads from my office computer. I am planning on buying an Android stick, is there an app combination that can do the same? So I browse from my **Android** tablet, find a good magnet to download, do something not too complicated, and the **Android stick** starts to download it? |

9509 | What's the difference between "sd card" and "usb storage"? | Under Settings -> Storage, I see entries for both "SD card" and "USB storage". What's the difference? What should I be using each of those for? In addition, how can I control what data goes where? since so far, everything I've copied into my mobile (via USB cable and via Kies Air) seems to go to the "USB storage", as the "SD card" is almost completely empty of data. Finally, where can I find the base folder of each of these, using a file explorer? |
9503 | Mice and Keyboard support in 3.1 | Apparently, Android 3.1 will support USB devices such as mice and keyboards. 1. How much of an issue is driver support? If you have a "normal" keyboard or mouse, will it just plug and play? 2. Does the OS provide support for these input devices through standard Android controls, or will each program have to be modified seperately to support these input devices? |

49098 | Displaying Android Screenshots | I have a few screenshots of an application that I want to display on a website. I remember there used to be a web site that had all the "frames" or "skins" of Android devices; you would upload your screenshot and it would embed them in the frame and you would get images like this:  I can't seem to be able to find the site or these "frames". Can anyone please point me to a direction where I can get these frames? p.s. I can do photoshop myself if I can get these "frames" (or whatever they're called). |

65528 | My Gmail account has many emails. If I add another Gmail account to my phone, can I make the new Gmail primary and still use my apps | I have an (old) Android phone (HTC Incredible ADR6300) which I have configured with 1 Gmail account. I have downloaded a bunch of apps from Google Play. Most of the apps are Free, but I have a few dollars worth of purchased apps. Over time, that Gmail account now has many emails (over 2 Gigs). This seems to be a problem for the phone as it won't finish syncing emails with Gmail anymore (appears to hang), and it probably uses lots of phone memory and time trying. I know I can associate another Gmail email address with my phone, but I'm not sure if that will work in my situation. I'd like to use the new Gmail address for emails (as the "Primary" email address for the phone), but still access the apps I have, which are associated with my old Gmail address. I guess there are a few ways I can do this, but I'm not sure which (if any) will work: 1. I can add another email address to the phone under: `Menu -> Settings -> Accounts and sync -> Add account` but I don't know if it will allow for me to choose this new account as the "Primary" email address for the phone, for syncing emails, etc. If it does allow that, will Google Play be able to figure out (or will I be able to tell GP) which Gmail account to use to authenticate the apps I already have? 2. Similar to #1, on the phone under: `Menu -> Settings -> Accounts and sync -> Manage accounts -> [old-Gmail]` I see an option: `"Remove account"` I could (perhaps in some specific order) add a new Gmail account, then remove the old account, then add back the old Gmail account. (Will this make the new Gmail account _"Primary"_ ?) Again, I don't know if this will work, but if it does, it should solve the email sync issue, but I might still have the issue with Google Play and my existing downloaded apps. 3. I could back up the phone (as much as possible), and do a factory reset (I will probably do this at some point anyway), and configure the new Gmail account as the "Primary" email address for the phone. I should then be able to sync Gmail, etc. And, I could add the old Gmail account under: `Menu -> Settings -> Accounts and sync -> Add account` This would probably be the best option, but I might still have the issue with Google Play and my existing downloaded apps. 4. I could just start over. Reset the phone, configure the new Gmail address, re-download (and some re-purchase) my apps, and forget about using the old email address on the phone. This will work for sure, and it might be the **_only_** way, but not the best way if other options will work. So, will the easier options #1 or #2 work, or perhaps the more involved option #3? Or am I stuck with the least desirable option #4? (Perhaps some other option I'm not considering?) |
49096 | Sony Live With The Walkman : Phone is restarting continuously | I have a problem with my **Sony Live With The WalkMan** phone, it has Android 4.0 (ICS) and was working well before last week, the problem started a week before when I tried turning on my phone's Bluetooth. When I turn it on, my phone just restarts, and the things happened around 10 times and stopped. Again I turned my phone on and then everything was normal until I found that my Bluetooth is showing me " **Turning on..** " and I just couldn't turn it off, so I restarted the phone again, and now its **_starting and restarting continuously!_** I don't know what's wrong with the Bluetooth and my phone? Does anyone have any idea? |

2511 | How to Set 'Play' Button Behavior on Bluetooth Remote | I have a RocketFish Bluetooth headset paired with my MotoDROID v1 (Froyo). The BT headphones have multimedia controls (volume up/down, next track, previous track, play/pause) and a button to trigger voice dialing. I have it paired both on the handsfree headset profile and the advanced audio profile. When I click the play button on my headphones, the behavior is unpredictable. I might have the Music app up, but clicking play will cause Listen to launch and begin playing a podcast. I might have Listen in the foreground, but clicking play will cause the Music player to start playing from a playlist. Other times, the play button will behave as expected and cause the app in the foreground to play. Is there any way (outside of rooting my device) that I can indicate which app should be acting on these button presses? |

I uploaded the app to the phone but clicking on the .air file doesn't provoke an installation process, instead, it just opens the browser and attempts to display it (and fails, obviously). What to to do? |
49327 | Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini blackscreen startup | I just got my _S3 Mini_ from my service provider yesterday. When I got it, everything was fine and working well. When I woke up today I checked on it and the screen still stayed black. I tried charging it but I got no beep or vibrate as a response that it acknowledged the charger and the screen stayed black. I also tried restarting it like it said on the manual in case it freezes up (hold the power button for 8-10 secs) but the menu and back button just lit up and nothing happened. No welcome animation or anything. I'm planning to have a nearby service center to take a look at it but is there anything I can try first? |

49329 | SD Card Unexpectedly removed error | I have a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 which I bought 4 months ago....love it! Decided to add an external SD card......so I bought a 16 G. After a couple of weeks, I got a notification "SD Card Removed Unexpectedly!" Of course I never removed the card but I could not get the tablet to recognize my SD card. In doing research, I noticed that the instruction said I need a Class 10 card, so not being sure I had a class 10, I went out and bought a 32 G Class 10. Worked beautifully for a week and the error returned......intermittently In turning on the tab, I never know if the message is there and I can see the card on my tab (at times).....other times I can't. If I put the SD card in a reader connected to my PC, it is fine. I complained to Samsung and they said I can return it for repair since it is under warranty. Do anyone know if Samsung CAN repair this problem? I don't want to waste the money or time if it is not going to do any good..... Also have anyone discovered a fix or cause of this problem? |
68113 | Download of something bad | Yesterday I clicked on a link on my phone which started a download of an .apk file. My phone told me it had downloaded and like an idiot I clicked on it in the notification bar so I could try and delete it... that was the last I saw of it. Today my phone downloaded live_18_audiotel.apk while I was attempting to download LFConnect - a legit program from Life Fitness. I can't seem to find the .apk for the file listed above on my phone to delete it. I do know that when I click on it I get informed that it will NOT install as it is not allowed based on my settings. ( I thought this happened on the prior one, too) But I'm worried. A search for the above .apk comes up with ONE hit on google... that makes me even more concerned. Any suggestions out there?

Ever since I received it I instantly installed Skype and for some reason, when ever I'm calling any of my friends their voices cut out. I have borrowed several other devices in my house to try and see if it was a local/generic problem but that was inconclusive as Skype worked fine on all of them. It's really quite irritating when I'm trying to talk to my friend and when he replies I don't hear him, either at all or only a little bit. What's my problem? Also I've tried re-installing Skype several times as well as cleaning caches etc. |

Even more, when I browse file system I noted that internal SD card now contains folders for applications data (WhatsApp, GoLauncher, etc), of course they all are empty. So how can I set up the old path for application settings and data to my external card instead of internal?

54991 | Suspicious directory ".MySecurityData" in internal storage | I have a Galaxy Note (N7000) device running stock Android 4.1.2. I was browsing the internal storage and noticed a directory named ".MySecurityData", which contains one single directory "dont_remove", which contains multiple directories whose name consists of hexadecimal characters of length 32 (presumably MD5 hashes). All those 3rd level directories contain three directories - ".image", ".thumb", and ".video". A search through `find` command reveals that all the directories are empty containing no files. Fact that the parent directory is hidden, directories have suspicious and obfuscated names, and a web search returns no results for ".MySecurityData" has raised concerns of some malicious activity. Can anyone identify the application that may have created these directories? I'm a paranoid person and usually shy away from installing apps, and double check the ones that I'm installing. There is also a SQLite3 file inside "dont_remove" (name is again in hexadecimal characters of length 15). A SQLite3 `.dump` on this file results in following: PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF; BEGIN TRANSACTION; CREATE TABLE android_metadata (locale TEXT); INSERT INTO "android_metadata" VALUES('en_GB'); CREATE TABLE medias (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,album TEXT, from_path TEXT, dest_path TEXT,thumb_path TEXT,file_name TEXT,file_type TEXT,file_ext TEXT,timestamp LONG,rotation INTEGER DEFAULT 0); COMMIT **UPDATE** : After a `grep` through dumpstate logs in `/data/log`, I noticed that the SQLite3 file was being accessed by `com.domobile.applock`.

78627 | My Tab 3 will only charge from the wall adapter from Samsung | I'm going on holiday soon and we planned to take a USB hub to charge all of our devices rather than take several wall adapters, however when I checked that my 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 would charge I found that it didn't. After investigating I found that my iPad charger wouldn't charge it either and in fact the only that would charge it was the USB wall adapter that came in the box with the tablet, even though the port on the USB hub and the iPad charger are rated at 2.1 A (5 V). When I plug the tablet into to a non-Samsung adapter powered off however, the screen flashes lighter and darker but nothing else happens which seems odd behavior to me. What is the reason it will not charge by any other means, and is there a solution? |

27553 | How do I enter recovery mode on my Motorola Milestone 2 to unbrick it? | I own a Motorola Milestone 2, also called A953 (apparently this is different from the Droid 2 Global). It used to have Android 2.3 with Motoblur middleware. It was bought independently from any phone carrier (so it was not bought from Verizon for instance). I rooted it, installed ROM Manager, Droid 2 Global Recovery Bootstrap and ClockworkMod Recovery. From ROM Manager, I could successfully reboot my phone into Recovery mode, allowing me to back-up my data for instance. Until this stage everything went fine. What lead to my problem : I also wiped the cache and installed CyanogenMod 7.2 and the Google apps from ZIP files and from the Recovery Mode interface. But now my phone is broken. When it now boots, it shows the stylised M logo, but then switches to an entire black screen. The phone is still on so I have to pull the battery to shut it down. I would like to reboot into Recovery Mode but this doesn't work : I am never able to see the Recovery Mode logo (a warning sign with a little android). How should I do it ? What I have tried : I tried to boot while holding the Power and the 'X' button, as adviced on different forums. This still leads to the black screen. At this state, pressing the Search hardware button does nothing. Holding the Power and the Volume Up button has no more effect. I am able to enter Bootloader Mode by holding Power and Up Arrow.  I also tried to use a live CD from here with ezSBF, but I get errors in the process and then my phone reboots in Bootloader mode and shows the following error: Critical Error: FEBE 0047 After that I still cannot get to Recovery Mode. |
27554 | Samsung galaxy S3 phonenumber sync facebook | I had the HTC wildfire S like a week ago. It managed to automaticly fill my contact list with phone numbers and pictures from Facebook. Is this function not in the galaxy s3? If so, how can I get it? |
27555 | How to log and visualize resource usage stats (to identify resource hogs)? | I want to be able to collect up to, say, a couple of day's worth of resource usage statics for my android, at the resolution of individual apps, and ordered according to their shares of the resource. And I would like then to be able to view this information in such a way that I can easily identify the worst resource hogs. Any suggestions for how to do this would be appreciated. (FWIW, my phone is rooted.) Thanks! PS: There is a bazillion of apps for monitoring CPU usage, memory usage, etc., but all the ones I have found give only global statistics. I.e. they will tell me that, e.g. 84% of my phone's CPU is being used, but none will give me a weighted breakdown of that percentage over the apps responsible for it. Monitoring apps that do not collect and display statistics at the resolution of individual applications are of little use to me. And of course, it goes without saying that "task manager" apps, or even for apps like Watchdog are even farther removed from what I'm looking for; these apps may be very good at what they do, but they simply are not designed to do what I want done. |
27558 | How do I turn off my maps app (that's taking 93% of my battery) on the Smart II? | I have the new Smart II. Maps is using 93 percent of my battery and I can't turn it off. I keep pressing force close but it comes back on a few seconds later. |
27559 | What is a good guide that shows new Android users how to properly backup and Flash a new ROM? | I've had my Samsung Captivate for almost a year now, It's my first smartphone, and I've just recently decided to root it. Being new to root and not having the greatest understanding of the Android system or the Linux/Unix system I still want to install CyanogenMod. Does anyone know a good guide for someone like me? It doesn't have to be CyanogenMod specific. |

48059 | Rooting a Toshiba AT100 running ICS | I have been trying to root my Toshiba AT100 running ICS 4.0.4 however I am unable to get it to work. I have tried several tutorials and they either don't work, are for tools running on Windows or only work in Honeycomb ROMs. I have also tried MotoChopper Universal Root Tool which worked well for all phones I have currently rooted with it but it fails to root the tablet. Does anyone know of a root tool for Linux (I'm running Ubuntu 13.04) that will work on the AT100 tablet? |
67161 | Factory reset generic android device | I have a cheap generic Android tablet (a Groupon special) that won't boot. ~~My theory is that the storage is full because this happened to two different tablets after installing apps.~~ _update: I learned how to use adb to remove apps and this problem persists._ It gets to a Android logo screen in the boot process and hangs there. The only hardware buttons available are the Power and Volume buttons. I have already tried holding down the Power + Vol Up + Vol Dn buttons, and that does not reset the device. I tried `adb reboot recovery`, but that only reboots the device and then continues to hang at the same screen. I tried `adb shell` `recovery --wipe_data`. This causes the screen to flicker a moment, and then I get a _Segmentation fault_. I'm stuck. I'm not a big Android guy so all this is from searching online and I don't quite understand what all is happening. Any other tips are _GREATLY_ appreciated!! |
67165 | What options are there for permanently connecting a rooted Android Phone to a NAS? | I keep all my documents, pics, music, etc. on a home NAS so I can access the data from around my home. For work I mostly use DropBox. But as my free 50GB are going to expire soon, I need to find another solution. So I thought I could move all my stuff from DB to my NAS and access it from there. I could use VPN but they aren't allowing outgoing connections and won't enable it for only that reason, which I can fully understand. BTW I have a FritzBox 7390 as router and I plan of purchasing a low-power Shuttle PC for simple server-stuff. My Nexus 5 is rooted and runs the latest OmniRom build. Are there any options here? If possible, it would be nice if my NAS could be mounted so I can move files around easily with an app. |
67169 | How to restore stock firmware on HTC One mini | I've bought HTC One mini as my first smartphone and I would like to know: how do I revert to a version of Android that my phone came with? Will I always have this possibility by default, or should I do take specific measures to this end? (e.g. back up my firmware, back up certificates or have my phone rooted) |
29291 | Wi-Fi connection dropping | Lately I've been having trouble keeping a connection to Wi-Fi, first at home and now at work. What happens is that after a while I'll notice that my phone is using 3G. If I go into my Wi-Fi settings, I'll see a strong signal from my router. When I try to connect manually, I often get the message, "Failed to connect to network" with no further details. (There's a special place in hell for those who write error messages that give no indication of the nature of the problem.) Other times I can connect, but the signal is reported as weak and drops quickly. My computers can connect with no problems and report strong wireless signals. My roommates have no similar problems. I have a Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean. My roommates have a Galaxy Note and a Galaxy S2, respectively, both on ICS. What's wrong with my phone? # Additional details * My phone is rooted but running the stock ROM. * My phone is the international GSM version. * I first noticed this problem while using Tasker to implement a Bluetooth wireless leash. I've stopped using the leash--and Bluetooth entirely--but the problem persists. I'm still using Tasker for other things. * In trying to track down this issue, I disabled "Avoid poor connections" but that change had no effect. * I'm willing to consider flashing stuff to my phone as a last resort, but I strongly prefer alternative solutions. I didn't have problems initially, so I doubt the radio is to blame. Furthermore, I will down vote any answer that provides an incompatible ROM/radio, etc. or that provides it from a non-reputable source. |

29292 | Sync Chrome Mobile with Desktop Firefox? | On my desktop computers, I use Firefox with the Firefox Sync service but on my mobile Android device I prefer using Chrome Mobile. Is there any way to sync Chrome Mobile with Firefox Sync? (I thought of syncing at least history, bookmarks and password). **Comment** : For now, I'll use XMarks and LastPass to synchronize my bookmarks/history (and passwords for Chrome Desktop only). But that's indeed not the ideal solution because I need a running Chrome to have the synchronization with my Chrome Mobile running. Because of this, I plan to write a small tool, that hooks into the web APIs of Firefox Sync and Chrome Sync to sync them against each other. |
29297 | Private setting in standard calendar from ICS | I switched from 2.3 to 4.0 on my SII and miss an option in the standard calendar app: There used to be a setting for private appointments, which could be seen at the very end during creating a new appointment after selection of extra options. Neither the option, nor the setting seem to exist anymore. Does anyone know how to set this or has the option been deleted? I need the feature, since I use my synchronized company calendar for both work and other appointments, where privat ones are marked as private in Outlook. I know that there are other calendar apps around, but I like to keep the setup as it was before if possible. |

68802 | Images are not being scanned in Kitkat | I have nexus4 with Kitkat 4.4.2. I added .nomedia file in DCIM/Camera folder. After restarting the phone, Gallery didn't show any of the pics from that folder. I removed the .nomedia file from the folder, but the gallery doesn't show any images. After rebooting the phone couple of times and trying few media scanning apps, it shows new images which I took from the camera. But it doesn't show any old images. What could be the problem? What can I do so that it shows old images too? |

68806 | Is the back Chassis for the Canadian Rogers I747M the same as I747 T999? | The camera protection lens on my Samsung Galaxy S3 I747M broke some time ago. The camera itself stopped focusing correctly some time ago as well due to that. At some point, I had to have the camera replaced, though the establishment did not have replacements for the camera protection lens unfortunately. The gentleman I talked to said I could find 2 methods of replacing the lens. 1. Go on EBay and purchase only the protection lens that attaches with a 2 sided tape. 2. Go on EBay and purchase the back chassis piece of my phone. This was the method he said would be preferable as it's the better option for the phone. I think he also mentioned something about OEM but I don't remember that part. (If someone knows, do tell) After looking on EBay, the majority of Chassis replaces seems to be that of the AT&T's I747 T999. From what I understand, the phones are almost identical. Though, I'm not sure this includes the chassis. So, my question is, is the back chassis of the Canadian Rogers I747M, the same as the American I747 T999? Below is a link to an example of what I'm talking about. This is actually my best option so far. At least, from what I've found. If anyone has anything better or that would pertain more so to my phone, it would be appreciated. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/R036-New-Housing-Back-Chassis-Frame-For-Samsung- Galaxy-S3-i747-T999-Black-Tool-/190875018764?&_trksid=p2056016.m2516.l5255 |

23077 | Can't delete "Layar" app from rooted Samsung 551 | I rooted my Samsung 551 with Android 2.3.6 to delete some useless apps such as Orkut, Midnight Bowling and Layar. In trying to delete the Layar app (from /system/apps) I couldn't find it there and there is no layar.apk file or even another file name with layar's icon. Is there another path where Layar is installed? Should I config something to find its de-installation path? |
59546 | Google maps app works without wifi? | So I have been using google maps in airplane mode. I only connect to cafe´s around Barcelona and once I have searched the directions. I leave any wifi in range. Shouldnt that mean my google maps no longer works? However, on the app, when I walk down a street or make a turn, the little blue dot seems to update where I am, regardless of the presence of internet connectivity... If I try retyping a search or starting a new route without wifi, it says that it cant connect to server, which is expected. My question is basically, how does it know to update once I have established a route? |
59547 | Sending linux commands over serial | I have a question about being able to send Linux commands over a serial connection to an Android device. I have heard of **putty** and tried to use it, but i am ultimately lost with it. Like if I was in the Linux shell of the Android and could type, `reboot` and the device would reboot. The Android device has a virtual serial connection, and I have been able to connect to it using **putty** , but I don't know where to go after that. I know this is confusing and may be completely wrong, thank you for your time in advance. I also have been able to connect to it with **QPST** , and see a 100mb drive come up with some files in it. |
66746 | Recovering the contacts, SMS and call log from SD card | I am using an Micromax A57 running Android 2.3.5. Since there was a problem in the launcher, I reset the phone to factory settings, taking my SD card out before doing so. Since the phone's internal memory is very small, all the contacts, call log and SMS are saved on the SD card. While doing the factory reset, my assumption was that I could restore this information from the SD card afterwards. However, when I re-inserted the SD card, my phone could not get any of my contact, SMS or call log information. I searched the Internet for the past 2 days and tried several applications to get it back but all in vain. My questions are: First of all, would it be possible to get the SMS, contact and call log back from SD card (as I reset mobile alone taking SD card out)? If possible, how to restore SMS, contact and call log? Phone is rooted and I am sure the data lies somewhere in the phone as bits and bytes. Experts advise please. |
59548 | Galaxy S3: Ad-Hoc | I'm running Linux (Kubuntu 13.10) on my laptop and have created an Ad-Hoc network. My mother's iPhone instantly sees the Ad-Hoc network and can connect to it, but my Android, (Samsung Glaxy S3, no root) can't see nor connect to it. Why? |
59549 | Persistent download notification on Galaxy S3 running Android 4.3 | My Galaxy S3 from Sprint keeps showing me that a file (a picture) has been downloaded. I deleted the downloaded file after a day or two, yet the notification still pops up and when I tap on it, it says _item not found_. I believe there is a bug in the software that this keeps happening. How can I get rid of this? _Note_ : **I don't want** to get rid of download notifications at all, just this one. |
29127 | My phone is giving inaccurate readings of battery level | I have a Huawei u8160 running Cyanogenmod 7.2 . my phone is giving inaccurate readings of the battery charge level (e.g one day morning it was 33 that day evening it became 34 without touching the phone) is that an indicator of malfunctioning battery,or the sensor is reporting false readings? |
25898 | How to transfer files over wifi without a hotspot? | I'm looking for a way to transfer files between an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S2, rooted) and any computer system I may need to interact with (this means preinstalled software on the computer, besides a regular web browser, is not an option) **without** connecting to an actual wifi hotspot. Essentially I'm looking for something that works the same was as wifi direct (allows two phones to transfer files over wifi) but that would be compatible with any computer with wifi. So far I have tried creating an ad-hoc connection from the phone (as I can't take the computer being ad-hoc-creating-able for granted) using Android Wifi Tether and connecting the computer to the device, testing the different modes it offers (WEXT, Netd & Softap). I have tried to connect to and from the computer over LAN, FTP and SMB without any success. I feel like I'm missing some small step over here. I've looked through multiple other posts, but I couldn't find any that would show a way to do this **without** actually connecting to an already available wifi network. |

24262 | Cannot make changes to specific folder | My phone is rooted with aokp build 38 on it. It is a Verizon Galaxy Nexus (toro) There is a folder `/sdcard/data` that I can't make any changes to. Some of my apps are trying to use this folder but are not able to because any changes to this folder fail. I tried deleting it but was unable to. I even used `adb shell` with root access and tried to `rmdir`, but it says "Permission Denied" I also tried to `chmod 777` to give full access to the folder, but I still was unable to make any changes to it. I'm at a loss as of what to do to make this directory writeable again. |

24260 | Low space on HTC Desire with CyanoGenMod 7.1: how to solve it? | I have an HTC Desire GSM. This phone has the known problem of limited memory, so that it was impossible to install more than a couple of apps without running into the "Disk space low" problem. So I rooted it, installed CyanogenMod7 and App2SD. I moved to the SD card almost all of the application (except those that needs notifications: those won'd work if moved to the SD). Still, I periodically get the "Low space" message; it is as if the apps were storing their data on the phone memory. If I go to settings -> applications and clear some application's data, then clear the browser cache, I get rid of the message for a couple of days. How can I definitely get rid of the "Low space" notification, while keeping my applications installed? Please note: * I've read that it could be possible to repartition the SD card and "mount" it so that it extends the phone own memory. I've seen several conflicting instructions about the procedure (and, e.g. the order of the partitions on the SD card) and, while I managed to partition the card, I never managed to have Android "mount" the extra partition. I've also read instructions saying that recent versions of Cyanogenmod don't support the sd partition anymore. * The phone is already rooted, hence solutions requiring root are OK * I installed Cyanogenmod 7.1.0, but I have not particular preference to that mod. If necessary, I am open to install any mod that works on the phone and is stable for everyday use. UPDATE: This wiki page is the reference that says that the sd partition is not supported anymore: > Apps2ext (previously called apps2SD) moved all user installed apps to a > secondary ext partition on your sdcard. This method had the advantage of > being straight forward and simple, However, it had the drawback of being > difficult to set up. This method is no longer officially supported by > CyanogenMod |
79517 | Can't log into my email using Nexus 7 email client | I want to use the email app on my Nexus 7 to access my university email. These email accounts are provided by Microsoft. After I enter my account name, on the second screen, it asks me about Account Type. POP3, IMAP or Exchange. I tried * with POP3 > enter password > Incoming server settings(used defaults) > When trying to sign in "Couldn't finish : Couldn't open connection to server." * with IMAP, it asks for "sign in with password" or "sign in with google". In both cases, I get the error "Couldn't finish : Couldn't open connection to server" * with Exchange I get the same error. But in this case the email server asks for a "client certificate", I haven't selected anything for that option. What are the options (POP3, IMAP, Exchange) and how to setup this email client for my university account? |

34530 | Use a USB Controller with Xoom without adapter | I would like to use an X-Box 360 Controller with my Motorola Xoom tablet, however the Controller uses USB to connect and I do not have the required USB OTG adapter to plug it directly into the tablet. I've searched this site and Google but cannot find information on an alternative method of connecting the controller to the Xoom. I'm hoping for a solution to pair these devices that involves either connecting both into my computer and bridging them somehow with adb or pairing my Xoom to my laptop using Bluetooth and sending the controller signal over this connection. I've tried poking around the properties of the tablet and controller while they're plugged in but I haven't had any luck combining the two. Does anyone have experience/know any techniques for doing either of these things? Is there some other way for my Xoom to recognize the controller? I could use either Windows 7 or Linux to make this work. |
