34534 | Kid friendly fix for out of memory errors in Froyo | My god-daughter has inherited her mother's old HTC-Desire, it's currently running Froyo, but despite having a huge memory card it still suffers constant out of memory errors. I can move things on to the memory card, but being 12 the god-daughter in question just gets confused and deletes stuff. Is there any kid-friendly permanent solution to the problem or an upgrade route to gingerbread. |
26603 | Auto-Enhance Multiple Photos In Gallery? | Is there a way to auto-enhance multiple selected photos without picking one by one which supposedly takes more time since it returns me to start of photos list and I have to navigate and find last photo I shot and once again navigate to "Auto-Enchance" option. If there's only app that can accomplish that, it is fine, I would like to know which one is it. **Andorid 2.3.5** **HTC Desire S** |
26601 | USB transfer speed ridiculously slow | My Android connection to my computer is ridiculously slow. Just previous to this, I used Banshee to transfer some songs to my Android, and it took nearly two hours two transfer 23 songs. _(The problem is not limited to Banshee, but any file transfer.)_ I thought this might be a problem on the Ubuntu side of things, but I'm starting to think that the problem is either limited to, or more pronounced with, my Android device. While I was doing variouos tests to try and diagnose the problem, by adding and removing various USB devices on my system and then testing file transfers, I saw speeds of up to 2MB/second, which I could live with. However, no matter what I did, and regardless of what speed I have been able to achieve, after some amount of time, the problem returns. The speed becomes something more like 50KB/s or less. Two hours to transfer 23 songs is practically unusuable. Assuming for a moment that maybe my Ubuntu machine is not the problem, how can I determine if my Android phone is doing something to hold up the USB transfer speed? * * * Samsung Galaxy S2, Model number GT-I9100, Android version 4.0.4, Kernel version 3.0.34-Siyah-v3.3.2, Cyanogen 9-20120624. |
26600 | Is there a reason Google Reader drains this much battery? | It doesn't strike me as normal that Google Reader should drain more battery than even my screen. Is this a known bug, or is it a settings issue? I'm using 4.1.1  |
26604 | Strange (unfamilar screen) on my Galaxy Tab? | I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1. It was powered off and charging when my nephew picked it up and turned in on. When he handed it to me on the screen was a graphic of an open box, the android logo with the words downloading. It has been in this state for 4 hours now and I cannot switch the device on or off. Please help me understand what has happened and what I should do. |
75408 | When my android shuts down due to depleted battery, is there any recommended cleanup? | My Galaxy S3 has stopped charging via USB cable. Its a hassle but not a terribly big deal - I bought 6 batteries and two battery chargers and I always have a few fully charged batteries in my pocket. I try to shut down and swap batteries before running out, a couple of times per week I DO forget to do it in time and Android shuts down on me. Of course I need to try to do better at changing my batteries to avoid the shutdown. But given that it IS happening 50+ times per year, I am wondering if there is any sort of cleanup I need to do? Any log files to delete? |
49306 | Copy data from phone to wifi network | USB port on my phone broke (can't transfer data). My phone uses built-in memory, no memory card.

61785 | Samsung galaxy Nexus Dead/ Bricked | I have installed a custom rom (Cynogenmod 10.2) on my _Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250_ GSM three months before, and everything was running good. But starting 4 days ago, my phone reboots constantly after every boot up. I am unable to uninstall apps, not able to do factory reset, also not able to wipe data from TWRP recovery, not able to copy files to internal sd card. I tried flashing stock ROM from google using wugfresh toolkit, using fastboot commands and odin tool. Also tried flashing through adb, given permissions through adb. But none of them seems to work. I erase all partitions through fastboot and created partitions, but everytime I flash a ROM, it stops at writing `system.img` file, giving an protocol error: writing 'system'...FAILED (status read failed (Protocol error)) I tried all the possibilities I know, including wiping `/system` from recovery before flashing. Please help as I am getting frustrated as my phone is not working and is almost dead. |
61784 | Multiple phone numbers per SIM contact | Some time ago I owned an Sony Ericson mobile phone. It was able to store a contact on the SIM card and add information like adress or multible phone numbers. Why isn´t it possible to do the same thing on newer Smartphones? I heard that old phones stored multiple contacts on the sim card by creating a contat for every information and combine it in the view, could that be true? |
61789 | Transparent notification bar after Android 4.3 Update on Samsung Galaxy S3 | I've just updated my Galaxy S3 to the OTA 4.3 update and whilst its fine, there are a couple of really annoying niggles. The main one is the notification bar at the top - where the little icons are shown. This used to be black with white icons and they were easily visible. Now its transparent. I use a nice landscape image as my wallpaper, so I have pale blue sky and white clouds, and you can imagine the white icons on white cloud background isn't exactly what I'd call usable. short of editing my wallpapers to have a black bar at the top, is there a way to revert this? It seems the update is fine but for the lock screen that has so many pointless changes that result in usability problems I'm tempted to downgrade. |
22380 | Tasker and Locale Execute Plugin root command not working in 2.3.5 | I just rooted my phone and have been trying to create a task in Tasker with the Locale Execute Plugin to control the LED lights for different things. **Phone Type:** HTC Evo 4G **Android Version:** 2.3.5 **ROM:** AlterROM 0.0.4.1-RC1 I have followed instructions on every website I could think of except here so far and none of them work. Is there a bug in this version or something not allowing root commands from running? Here's the command I'm trying to execute with Tasker & Locale Execute Plugin: `@! echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/wimax/brightness` (commands from here) If I use a Terminal IDE to do the following: $ su # echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/wimax/brightness It works, but no matter what I do in Tasker, it never asks me to grant it root access. Any ideas? |

50690 | Is there NTP like time syncing for non rooted phone? | I need from time to time sync clock on android phone from internet. Traditional way on non mobile devices is to use NTP servers and daemon. To run NTP daemon and automatically set time on android phone one requirement is to have a root access. Is there really any similar solution for non-rooted phone? |
50693 | Sporadic SMS on Galaxy Nexus after upgrade to 4.3? | I have an unlocked Galaxy Nexus I bought directly from Google and use a T-Mobile plan. Last week, I got the OTA update for 4.3. Since then, I haven't consistently been able to send text messages. The usual scenario is: 1. Send a text message. 2. It hangs at sending (Messaging eats up more battery than normal during this.) 3. It'll sit there indefinitely until I send another text. Tested this by waiting all day on two occasions. 4. After I send another text, either a.) that one hangs too or b.) that one, and any ones that are stuck at sending, will all simultaneously send. It's like the successive text wakes up all the other ones. This happens enough to not be coincidence, and as I said I've let the stuck messages sit there for about eight hours without sending any more messages and they would not send until after I did. Anyone have any idea what's going on here? |
23381 | What determines if a phone will accept a microphone in the audio jack - hardware or software? | I have two Android phones: a Nexus S and a T-mobile G2. I just bought a new set of headphones that have a built-in microphone. The Nexus S seems to recognize audio input but the T-mobile G2 does not. Is it a hardware limitation or because I am running Android 2.3.6 on my G2 and Icecream Sandwich on my Nexus S? |
23380 | Why is CyanogenMod zip not being found when I try to install it? | In order to help fix my problems with USB connectivity, it was suggested to me that I upgrade my kernel and ROM. I upgraded the kernel fine, it seems, but for some reason upgrading the ROM, which is CyanogenMod, keeps failing. I have tried both ways of upgrading, via recovery and via the ROM manager (for which I purchased the full version). However both fail the exact same way, which is that I get an error message in the recovery interface that says the zip file for the ROM is "not found", despite the fact that the location it says it can't find the file is exactly where the file should be. Here's what it looks like:  It says there is a log in `/sdcard/clockworkmod/` directory, but when I look at that directoty, all that I see is a file called `recovery-update.zip`. There are no log files that I can see anywhere. I have re-downloaded the zip a couple times to be sure it is not a corrupt file or anything, so I think the file is okay. How do I get the zip to be found so that it can be installed? |
28655 | Using Apple Lossless with Google Play Music | I have a lot of music encoded in Apple Lossless (ALAC), but Google Play Music doesn’t seem to support it. Instead Google Play Music supports FLAC, but iTunes doesn’t support it. I don’t care how encoded my music are, but want to encode these without any loss. How do you guys manage your lossless music using iTunes + Google Play Music? I believe it’s not only my problem. **Edit** : Okay, I finally gave up, and encoded my all files encoded in ALAC/FLAC to normal AAC. There seems no way to use both at a time as of now. |

Do I need to change any other values in any of the files? And will it work, theoretically at least? |
23387 | Is it possible to leave some apps in the internal memory while using S2E? | Well, is it possible? I have a Galaxy Ace with the official CyanogenMod ROM.

74935 | my phone says it can produce 5.1 audio. Can it? | I have the Samsung SCH i 110, which is essentially a Galaxy S rebranded for Verizon. it uses the Samsung hummingbird chipset single core 1000 megahertz, with 512mb RAM. anyways, in my audio player it gives me the option to have 5.1 surround enabled. if the Audio chipset can do 5.1, how do I connect to it? does anyone with this phone or a galaxy s device know where I can get an SPDIF cable to plug into this phone? does it signal SPDIF through the headphone jack or the USB port? |

66787 | Phone connected as USB storage but PC can't connect to SD card | I have a Huawei Prism II, and my laptop is running Win7. When I connect it to my laptop's USB port, I get a notification that says "Connected as USB storage," but when I go to My Computer, the phone is showing as: CD Drive (E:) Mobile Partner 0 bytes free of 7.75 MB CDFS So the SD card's memory isn't available to transfer files. When I go to the Notifications screen and tap "Connected as USB storage", the radio button for "USB storage device" is already selected. I can select the "Media device (MTP)" option and successfully perform file transfer to/from my SD card this way, but I'm wondering why the "USB storage device" option doesn't make the SD card available. |
66784 | Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 USB Debugging Detection Issues | My PC - well, specifically, Flashtool - doesn't detect that my X10 has USB Debugging turned on, even though it displays that it has been activated both in the Settings menu and the notification shade. I've tried the modded Flashtool from XDA-Dev, and the latest versions, but to no avail. Any suggestions? I believe the drivers are up to date, as I can turn storage mode on when plugging it in and transfer files just fine. Rooted, running stock. It was fine pre-root, but as soon as I rooted it the first time around, it hasn't been able to detect. Recovery can't be flashed due to the lack of debugging. |

22033 | How do I change the number identification format (to associate with a contact's number)? | I have a Sony/Ericsson Xperia Arc phone with Android 2.3 In my country, I can receive calls with the following number patterns (it's the formatting used by my operator): 12345678 0aa12345678 0bbaa12345678 However, my system won't identify the second and third options as being a number from the same contact. That's the behavior that I want: if some contact's number is 12345678, the phone software should always match with the contact if the 8 number from right to left match. Is this possible? **EDIT** The 'aa' and 'bbaa' fields are just numbers. An example of a number could be: 01122223333 **aa** is a kind of region code and **bb** is the operator's code.In this case, if I have 22223333 in my contacts, it won't match. If I have 0441122223333 in my contacts, it won't work either. But it should (and I think that some cheap cell phones sold by operators have this behavior in my country). |
22035 | Aborting Bootloader process | I wanted to superroot my Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250 and then I got to the bootloader and couldn't solve my problem.

I cannot open the folder for the tab, and the tab just went to connecting to MTP or something. |

61253 | Setting a Hardware ID on an Android Tablet | I wonder if I could get some guidance. We purchased 6 android tablets for our kids over Christmas and shortly after we also purchased McAfee Live Safe so that we cold protect all these devices. Now, McAfee's installation depends on a unique Hardware ID and it appears that from the manufacturer, the hardware ID on all devices are the same and have been rooted (Android 4.2). Now, McAfee have no solution apart from refunding us our subscription as they are not able to resolve which means their application is not doing what it says on the tin. this is all good but I have only found McAfee to provide an antivirus solution that will protect multiply devices. I want to know if there is an easy way to set a Unique Hardware ID (like using the serial number of the device or the MAC address) so that I can install McAfee with no issues. Anyone's help and guidance would be very much appreciated and I apologise in advance if this is the wrong place to ask but I have found many solutions from here in the past and thought I'd give it a go. |
61252 | Prevent autocomplete of addresses from gmail in android email application | I use my Galaxy S3 for both work and personal email messaging. I use gmail for personal and the stock email application, synced to Microsoft Exchange, for work email. However, when I compose an email in the stock email application, it sometimes autocompletes with an address from gmail. This is very irritating (and has resulted in some mis-sent emails), and I want to disable it entirely. I do not want to see ANY addresses from my "Gmail Contacts" in the stock email app. I only want to see suggested emails from my Exchange contacts. Possible? Also, in the meantime I have enabled the "delayed send" feature to remind myself to check email addresses before sending. |
73058 | Screen becomes totally unresponsive intermittently | I have a HTC desire X with Android 4.1.1 & HTC Sense 4+. I have recently started facing this issue - not after any particular update. When the phone is sleeping and I get a call, I cannot occasionally answer the call - I see the accept/reject circles on the screen, but pulling the ring doesn't do anything. The screen becomes totally unresponsive. Even after the call goes off because I don't answer it, I cannot unlock my screen by pulling the ring. I have to press the power button, put the screen to sleep and press power button again to make the screen responsive. This isn't happening for each and every call but around 30% of the calls. This is highly irritating and does anyone know a fix/workaround for this. It's not just with calls. Occasionally, when I bring the phone out of standby, it is unresponsive when I touch anywhere. And then I have to put it standby again and come out of standby again & it works fine till this happens again. UPDATE: I did a factory reset a week back & the problem disappeared. Everything was great for a week, but today the problem has started happening again. What do I do - I am at my wits end - I am thinking of getting rid of the phone and buying a Lumia 620. UPDATE: I did another reset. Post the 2nd reset, the problem started happening immediately. I don't have anything installed post the factory reset. Anyone has any ideas what I can do. |

31962 | Samsung Galaxy GT-S5300B dead / bricked (?) | I own a Samsung Galaxy Pocket (GT-S5300B) and, last week, I mistakenly erased a partition issuing the command: cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 > /dev/zero (It was either that or /proc/mmcblk0p1, I can't remember o.O) Now, my phone is dead. It doesn't turn on at all, in either download, recovery or any other mode (PS: It has no fastboot mode, as it appears - it's a cheaper Samsung smartphone). I've tried using a "USB Jig", kind of outta nowhere, just to see what happened, but it remains dead :/ If I plug it to a power source, either usb data cable or the charger, it does get warm, like the battery was charging, but it won't turn on by clicking the turn on/off button, no way... :S Does anybody know how to fix such thing?

31964 | Why is sftp (client) so slow on Android? | I've encountered this across numerous Android clients on several devices and I don't understand it. Why is sftp so slow? For instance, transferring a single large file from my laptop vs my Nexus 7 on my home LAN I am getting a factor of **20** difference in speeds. The Nexus 7 is getting about 250-300KBps while the laptop is getting 5-6MBps. The server (debian sid) is connecting to a 802.11n router via a wired connection and both wireless devices are supposedly n (though the laptop reports 150Mbps connection and the Nexus 7 only 65Mbps. I know there's overhead and interference and whatnot but this just doesn't make sense to me. Is there some trick here or some way to speed up the transfer? I'm even willing to switch protocols if it would help. This problem has been floating around for a while but I haven't seen any constructive solution. The fact that >4.0 forces MTP which still has flaky linux support makes this issue all the more pressing. |

23926 | ODIN vs. Nandroid backups? | I've been told that ODIN backups are preferred to Nandroid ones, but I've only ever used the latter. What are the features that differ between them, and how is one better than another? Also, if it is true that ODIN is better, and I want to use it, can I without a Samsung device? It seems to me that I won't be able to use it if I have an HTC, which is a bummer if it's really that good! In that case, is there another utility that is available for sans-Samsung Android users? |

51121 | Google+ app does not launch live video hangout | Device: Nexus 4 Android: 4.3 When there is a live video hangout, the Google+ app makes a button available on the post called `Watch Hangout On Air`. However when I press it, YouTube launches the What to Watch screen, but the hangout video isn't in the list and nothing auto-plays. The live Hangout is occurring.

The Hangouts app has no defaults set yet. My apps are all the latest versions.

This tends to happen every few weeks, and it's been happening basically ever since I bought the phone a few months ago, so I'm pretty sure it's not a charge memory issue, especially when combined with the fact that the problem is intermittent and very infrequent. Does anyone know why this might happen, and what I could do to fix it? |
967 | Are there any devices that are like an iPod Touch, but run Android? | A lot of people like iPod Touches because they're almost identical to iPhones, but without cell service (and the monthly fees that go along with it), while still being able to connect to a wireless network. Are there any alternative devices that run Android? Bonus points if it has at least 24 GB of storage. |
157 | Does access to logcat need root? | My device is already rooted, this is why I'm asking. Do you need root to monitor the logcat stream on the phone? If I ran the logcat command from within a Terminal on the phone, would that work? |
25562 | Shaking notification bar | On an Asus Transformer Prime, my notification bar at the bottom of the screen will randomly start dancing up and down, and sometimes just scramble then go normal. When it does either one of these behaviours, I need to restart my Android to get it to stop. When it scrambles, the rest of the screen is fine, and I can click on areas of the bar that are messed up as if it wasn't, and access their functions (i.e. Back, Home, etc) |
25567 | Unable to Sync Evernote? | I have a new Samsung Galaxy Y, I am able to sync in GMail, Google Calendar and also completely use Google Maps, but I am not able to Sync in the Evernote App. What's Wrong? |
25569 | GO SMS conversation grouping by number, not contact | I installed GO SMS pro today and it looks good, but there is one thing that is a deal breaker for me. Some of the people I know use different numbers (grouped under one contact) to text me, however when I open GO SMS conversations aren't grouped by contact, but instead it looks like they are grouped by number (3 separate conversation threads for one contact). Is there any way to group them by contact? This is how the default messaging app works (conversations grouped by contact, reply goes to last number used from the conversation). |
19633 | Samsung S2 reads out message aloud | Some one has changed my phone settings, so when I recieve an SMS from any number the message is read out loudly. Can someone tell me how to disable this? My driving mode is turned off too. |
4132 | "Cannot download, not enough space" when "Phone Storage" clearly lists enough space | I just installed Android 2.1 on my Pandigital Novel. Anytime I try to download an app (via WiFi), I get this error: `Unable to download. Not enough space on phone.` However, the phone lists the free space as being 125.57Mb, about 25 times the size of the file I wanted to install. I took the APKs I was trying to download and put them on my SD card. I was able to install them to the device from there proving it does indeed have space. What should I do? |
63680 | MotoG. Dual SIM. Hide unused SIM icons in the notification bar | I just bought MotoG (kitkat) Dual SIM variant in India. Currently I'm using only one SIM but in the top notification status bar I see both SIM icons even for unused SIM with red cross mark which is bit annoying. I tried to google but couldn't find a solution for this. Appreciate any help to hide the Unused SIM notifications in the status bar. |
39807 | How does MHL work? | I've done (quite) some googling, but I still don't get it. You need an MHL converter, or adapter, or something. On one end of the adapter, all resources say, there is a "standard micro-USB" port, and on the other a "standard HDMI port". If they are all so standard, what's the fuzz about 5-pins vs. 11-pins? The HDMI port must be standard for all displays to work with it I guess, so it must be something on the (apparently not so standard) micro-USB side in the phone. Looking in my phone, I can only see a 4-pins female micro-USB connector. Or are these 11 pins (I have a Galaxy Note II) buried somewhere deeper inside? Secondly, there is often talk about this "switch" that's thrown as soon as an MHL adapter is connected. USB-OTG is disabled and it becomes a display input/output port only (input for the remote control, if available). I guess that means it's not possible to connect it through a USB hub to the phone? I need a bluetooth mouse and keyboard instead of a USB mouse and keyboard if I want to do this? Or is this only applicable for the 5-pins MHL devices, and is the point of the 11-pins one that I can connect my USB hub to the micro-USB port on the adapter? Thirdly, I've also seen USB 2.0 to HDMI converters. They're twice as expensive as MHL, but they have a normal USB connection and output HDMI, so that would fit directly in my USB hub. (MHL would also fit through a microUSB->USB converter, but it seems there is something special about the micro-USB end that I don't get.) The question is whether my phone (a Galaxy Note II) has drivers for that kind of hardware, and whether the hub is fast enough. Any ideas? Lastly, if anyone knows this, I'm curious about how this works on the inside. The graphics chip of the phone sends the video-out to its micro-USB port, just like it would with HDMI, or does it have some custom protocol that the MHL adapter then converts to HDMI? What about HDCP, how can you prevent someone from reading the output stream if every TV in the world can decrypt it already? Or is it like SSL a way to setup a secure connection to the TV so that others can't read your data stream if they were to capture it? |
39803 | Why My android device show less RAM and Slow at Jelly bean? | I bought a new Samsung galaxy S Advance(GT-i9070). It came with Gingerbread. It was actually a phone with 768 RAM. I clearly verified this with the shop when I bought it. Last day I upgraded my phone to Jell bean with official Russian firmware and reset to factory default settings. But now the phone seems very slow . Also full RAM Capacity seems 521 MB at Application manager. All applications are now consuming memory from total 521 MB memory. My question is- where is remaining memory? How can I obtain the remaining memory to speed my phone? Some people on the web say to root the phone, install ROM manager etc. Are these approaches good? Please give me a solution |

36582 | Is it safe to install cyogenMod on my rooted, bricked , then unrooted Samsung Captivate | My Samsung captivate was running the latest version of Android available to it which is 2.3.5 Gingerbread. I rooted it by installing ClockworkMod Recovery, (flashing zImage using heimdall on Ubuntu), I then installed CyanogenMod 10. It worked up until the point I went and tried to restore the data or db data(can't remember) part of the backup I made in CWM. This broke the ROM I had to revert to a stock ROM I found. Firmware version: `2.1-update1` Baseband Version: `I897ucjf6` I then tried to restore the custom ROM to no avail. The CWM recovery log said something to the extent of I can't re partition the device or mount the device due to a bad sector. The long and short it did not work. When I start the phone normally, it does not boot. When I hold 2 vol keys the screen looks as if a VGA cable is not connected properly - everything is colorful, but distorted (no text is recognizable). Is there a way to get an official (or official-ish) version of Android 4.1 on my phone, preferably using Odin 100% of the time so I am not having to boot into recovery and apply update from zip (Although I can do this if needs be). Should I use Kies Mini to update to Gingerbread and try again? Should I just forget about my Android 4.1 dream? I followed this guide the first time I rooted the phone. I downloaded CyanogenMod 10 from their seemingly official website under the Samsung Captivate section. |
58211 | Alternative way to perform factory reset | My friend's daughter was playing with the unlocking screen and of course she used up all the attempts and locked the device for good. Since this tablet was bought some time ago just for her amusement, no one remembers what was the google account they used - possibly a phony one created just for the purpose of using the device. This discards google recovery as an option. It's a cheapo tablet sold here by Walmart under ONN brand. I did some research and have found it's being made by YiFang Digital and marketed as M7000NBD http://www.yifangdigital.com/product/M7000NBD.aspx According to the manufacturer, it's powered by AML8726-MXS Dual Core + Mali TM-400 and it's running Android 4.2. Unless it came like that from the factory, it's not rooted, and it has only 3 buttons: PWR, VOL UP, VOL DOWN. My friend doesn't care about the data stored on this device and I offered to help thinking that I will be able to perform a factory reset the usual way. I was wrong. When I use the PWR + VOL UP key combination, to enter Android system recovery, first thing that shows up after the boot is an Android figure with a red triangle and an exclamation mark. If I press the PWR+VOL UP again, the system recovery menu shows up but I can not navigate through its options. At least not using the VOL UP/DOWN buttons. The only button that works is the PWR, but since "reboot system now" is the option selected by default, it's the only action I can perform from within this menu. When the above failed, I thought about ADB as an alternative way. Unfortunately the USB debugging seems to be turned off so, as far as my limited knowledge goes, there is no way of running ADB shell in that case. For obvious reasons, there is also no way of switching it on. Is there any other option to factory reset this device? Or maybe there is a way to make the system recovery menu respond? If it makes any difference, I have a Windows 7 desktop and two notebooks running Windows 8 and Ubuntu 13.10 respectively. |
18953 | What is the "Duplicate Provider" error? | I have installed Angry birds from the official android market. I tried installing the Angry Birds Seasons free version today, and while installing I got a pop-up message saying "Duplicate provider" and the installation terminated. I am running ICS on Nexus S, if it's relevant. |
62888 | HTC Desire save files to phone memory | I recently had problems with my SD card so I'm using the phone without it for now. I'm not able to download any files except apps from Google play. For example a pdf through the web browser or a picture attachment trough gmail. I get error messages saying I need an SD card. There is enough space in the phone memory. Is there any way to bypass this? I don't see any options for it in settings. Thanks in advance. |
41375 | Connecting Galaxy S3 to DisplayPort via MHL HDTV Adaptor | I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, and I just bought the Samsung HDTV Adapter (MHL to HDMI). However, my Dell U2412M monitor only has VGA, DVI or DisplayPort. So I also bought an HDMI to displayPort converter cable. Alas, the connection doesn't work. I know that everything is properly connected. The Samsung MHL is properly connected to both the phone and the (official Samsung) charger. The HDMI cable goes from there to the displayPort to HDMI (female) adapter, which in turn is properly fitted to the monitor. Then, I switch the input on the monitor to DisplayPort, and sadly my monitor goes to power save mode. Is there anything I can do to make this configuration work? If not, have you got any advice? |
41376 | Copy all sdcard contents to larger sdcard | Recently I've run out of room on my small (2GB) sdcard. What I want to do is copy all the contents of this card onto something a little larger. I have an FTP server (the one that comes with ES File Explorer) installed on my phone, and that's pretty much the only way I can copy from the card mounted in my phone to a computer or vice-versa (my computer has never recognized my phone's sdcard and only displayes /data). What's the best way to copy all of it (including hidden files, non-readable files, and apps stored on the sdcard)? |
41372 | Is it possible to pull data using Android Debug Bridge on an N7 while soft bricked | I've tried countless fixes for my N7 being softbricked (No idea how it was done). I've resorted to using Android Debug Bridge, however I cannot get access to the device (device not recognized from CMD using "adb pull"). The last time the device was used it wasn't set to USB debugging mode and now that it is always stuck on the nexus loading screen I can't change the options. Right now I'm stuck on what to do from here is there anyone out there with the time to help. The only reason why I'm so eager to not just send back the device is because I have photos on the device I cannot afford to lose. Both Google and Asus, have stated they would not recover any of the files for me and that I have to do it myself if I want them. Alternatively Could I Wipe/factory reset then use a photo recovery software on the nexus to get the images back. Just to state, my Nexus is stock nothing modified in anyway. Any advice would help me greatly thanks Anya~ |

37187 | 4.0.3 emulator has Internet connectivity, but can't ping other hosts | My situation is strange. I can open any website, like google.com, in my emulator's web browser. However, when I use adb shell to connect to my emulator and try to ping any other IP or website, it always fails. I'm running the emulator on Ubuntu under VMWare. Why am I not able to ping other hosts? |
37180 | how can make two android devices show the same video simultaneously? | I would like to attach two android tablets to the back of my car head rests so that my two children can watch films on long journeys. I want them to be watching the exact same video at the same time, and I want them to be as in sync as possible, because the sound will be played over the car's speakers. I am open to any solution: whether it's having a separate machine as a streaming server running windows, linux, or another android tablet. Another solution might be that the two devices have both have the files on them, but control data is being sent from one device to another - master/slave style. In a truly ideal world, it would be controllable by a device by someone sitting in the front, but that's a nice to have. My question is - are there any apps that allow any of these scenarios? I have been looking for about three hours myself and haven't found anything. nb: Pressing play simultaneously on the two devices is not a viable option, and neither is getting the children to wear headphones. |

15856 | Where are the settings for stock swype? | I have a Samsung Galaxy S from Sprint that has Swype pre installed. The latest OS update included some changes to Swype that are making me completely insane. The biggest issue is that it auto-corrects words when I'm finger tapping accurately. So a message to my sister that meant to say "Pfft. Just come." got auto corrected to "Orgy. Just come." I'm totally exasperated! I can't find Swype settings on my phone. I looked at http://www.swype.com/tips/swype-basics/ but the only thing I get when I longpress the Swype key is the option to toggle between input methods. I can't access any further settings. |
15852 | Flashing Android Source - Droid X | (I previously asked this on StackOverflow and was directed here.) I'm hoping for some clarification on the requirements and/or process of flashing a custom build of Android to a device. I've built a stock version from the AOSP and tried a few different times to flash it on my Droid X, all unsuccessful. I was thinking (or hoping) that the process of rooting the device would also unlock it to allow this, but maybe that's not the case. It looks like the phone still can't be touched at kernel level. Anyone know what's up here? There's a lot of ROMs for the DX, so it seems like there's a way, or do all those ROMs modify only a superficial level of the Verizon image? I just want to know what's going on under the covers. |
15853 | Quickly switch input methods (swype->other) | I'd like to be able to switch from Swype to Hacker Keyboard from within programs, especially ConnectBot and TerminalEmulator. Hacker Keyboard comes with a shortcut to switch to others, but Swype doesn't. If there are workarounds to reduce the number of clicks needed to switch input methods, those would also be welcome. |
15858 | Where is this Twitter App hiding? | I changed my twitter password a while ago, and periodically, when my phone has been off or totally offline, I'll get an alert: "Twitter sign in failed" but the Icon looks like a twitter icon, not Seesmic or Tweetdeck, the two apps I use. I'm assuming the problem from the app perspective is that my password isn't working. From my perspective, the problem is that I can't even figure out what app is sending these prompts. Seesmic and Tweetdeck have my new password, and I don't see a "Twitter" app in my applications anywhere. How do I even begin to figure out where this alert is coming from? |
18376 | Samsung Galaxy S2 on Sprint sudden Drop in Battery Life | Since I got this device in mid November to now, I have had great battery life usually lasting almost two full days and never having a problem for one day unless I'd been using it excessively. Suddenly yesterday I started losing power and the device is dead in just about 8 hours, with the graph of battery loss showing only Skype and Android OS. I haven't used Skype at all and don't know why it would even show up on this graph, but Android OS usually hadn't been showing up as more than about 5-15% of my total battery usage, much less overshadowing everything else. I uninstalled Skype thinking it may have updated and have noticed no difference at all. I've started looking for solutions online, and found forums for "android OS bug fixes" but nothing that detailed anything similar to this situation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135033 I have had Gingerbread 2.3.3 since I got this phone (annoyingly.. where is ICS Samsung??) I'm pretty sure and have had no battery drain problems such as this at all until just recently. I had not made any changes to the system nor any applications or widgets and see no reason why suddenly the OS would start to consume my battery erroneously. I don't have WiFi on typically unless I'm in a zone where I do have it and sketchy service such as at work sometimes (I am a student and only work about 15 hours a week on top of classes) and at home if I'm updating apps or using my phone a lot and want the quicker service. GPS and Bluetooth are always off, along with 4G unless I will be currently using it a lot in a 4G zone. Basically, I see no reason why my battery life should suddenly become awful when I had been having such a wonderful experience with this phone for months. What could have caused this and how can I reverse it?? Thanks! |

18373 | Application in Market that Open click returns you back to the market | I had NetFlix installed on ASUS Eee Transformer and since I am not using it, I uninstalled it. But now Android Market tells me there are updates, which I do not wish to do, and it acts as though it is still installed. Ok, I went to open it to see the app, and Open just takes me back to the Android Market page. I see the same behavior on Mobo Video player. I installed it, it said to go get the codecs, so I did, then when I open it, I get sent back to the Android Market page. Tried uninstalling, same basic behavior. How do I clean these up? They seem to be in some kind of installed/uninstalled limbo. Running the latest update from ASUS, so Android 3.2.1 and latest firmware. |
18370 | Video Streamer that can connect via proxy | Hello I connect my phone to the internet via wifi, using connectify, my internet is via a proxy. I've managed to set wifi proxy, but this works for only the Internet app, my video players fail to stream, probably because they're going direct and not passing through the proxy. My question is ; Is there a video player that works via proxy? I'm not rooted. |
33958 | Tethering data allowance from phone to laptop via usb | I don't have a problem doing this, I can use my phone and connect to the data allowance from my sim card and I can also connect my phone to a wireless network. I can then plug my phone into my laptop via a usb cable and I can enable tethering from the phone. I then end up with internet connection on my laptop. That is all well and good. However, when I click the connected connection on my phone, it comes up as 192.168.0.5 and when I check ifconfig on my laptop, it shows up as 192.168.42.209. Why is that happening, shouldn't my laptop also be showing at 192.168.0.5 as I am using the internet connection on my laptop via the phone? This really isn't a problem in terms of using the internet on the laptop via the phone as it works nicely. The problem is when I try to configure my home router to do some port forwarding. My router has an ip address range from 192.168.0.1-254, so I can't port forward using the 192.168.42.209. I have tried setting up a static ip address for my laptop using the routers ip address range, i.e. I tried 192.168.0.50, and the internet stops working. I clearly don't understand all this, why is this happening? So basically, why is the ip address on my phone different to the ip address on my laptop even though i am connecting to the internet on my laptop via the phone, and why does my internet connection stop working on the laptop if I tried giving the laptop a static ip address within the routers ip address range? I have an old phone with Froyo 2.2 and I have a laptop with Ubuntu 12.04 |

15580 | Alerts & Reminders based on SMS content | At work I get paged by our automated system.

34985 | Why does my device turn Wi-Fi on by itself? | Similar to Why does HTC Incredible S turn Wi-Fi on by itself?, it seems my Samsung Galaxy Victory will turn on Wi-Fi at random times. It establishes a connection if certain networks are in range (i.e. any open Wi-Fi). I notice a Wi-Fi setting which allows this phone to keep its Wi-Fi on during sleep, but this is currently disabled. Is there a way to prevent the device from looking for Wi-Fi networks? If this is specific to Samsung devices, has anyone figured out how to take care of this issue? |

30608 | Why does accepting Calendar invites open a browser? Can I prevent it? | I'm on an unrooted Galaxy Nexus, and using stock Gmail and Calendar apps on Android 4.1.1. But I am using Chrome rather than the stock browser. When I get a invite from a Gmail user to my Gmail account, it appears with "Yes/Maybe/No" option links and an invite.ics attachment (which doesn't do anything: "No app can open this attachment for viewing"). * Clicking one of "Yes/Maybe/No", whether I have already done so or not, opens Chrome with a warning "You are trying to use the desktop version of Google Calendar from a mobile browser [...] use the mobile version instead?" * If I click "OK" I get the mobile browser version of Calendar, but it's a view of today's appointments. There is no mention of the event I've responded to or any confirmation message about my response having been registered. * If I click "Cancel" I get the desktop version of Calendar showing the details of the appointment and a messaging confirming the response I have sent. * In either case, the event is in my calendar; the invite remains in my inbox. I guess the core of my question is whether I can prevent the browser opening at all - surely the mechanics of accepting invites should be performed in the Calendar app and thus work offline? _Note that this question is about invites from Google Calendar and not about handling .ics files in general._ |
