69912 | adb backup probably fails when trying to backup a single application | Following the advice here http://android.stackexchange.com/a/38277/27533, I am trying to migrate the application from Nexus 7 to ASUS ME302C. (Actually, my daughter desperately needs that -- you know, all that work with Pou ;) It seems I have successfully installed drivers for both Nexus 7 and the ASUS on my PC with Windows 7. I can copy files from and to both devices. The backup process seemingly works correctly as it creates the `backup.ab` after running the command `adb backup me.pou.app`. I did not use the `-apk` as I want only the data. The created `backup.ab` has about 2.5 KB which seems reasonable. However, the `adb backup –apk me.pou.app` and `adb backup –apk –shared me.pou.app` commands produce the `backup.ab` of exactly the same size (2623 bytes)`; however, they differ when compared in binary mode. There is no error reported. The Nexus 7 (the source of the backup) shows always `Backup the data` button at the bottom right (translated). The first toast says the process was started, the second toast says, it was finished. I do not know what should I try, check, or whatever to make it working. |
69913 | Is there a difference between the CyanogenMod 11S Rom (for OnePlus One) and regular CyanogenMod? | How does the CyanogenMod 11S Rom on the forthcoming OnePlus One smartphone differ (if at all) from regular versions or nightlies of CyanogenMod that can be downloaded and installed on other Smartphones ? Would this be another unique selling point (from a software perspective) for this particular handset? OnePlus |
81440 | Slow home screen load, applications restarting | The problem has a few symptoms. 1) Whenever I return to the home screen it takes a few seconds to redraw. 2) Most applications restart when I switch back and forth between them. 3) If I go to the Running Apps menu many of the apps are listed as "Restarting". 4) Some background applications quit unexpectedly (like playing music in the background). This is on a Moto G Android v4.4.4. The phone is a few months old and the problem appeared about a month ago. At all times free RAM is ~200 MB out of 870 MB. Could anyone give me some hints of what is going on? The Internet tells me to factory reset my phone, but that's a bit of the "Reformat your C:" of the PC world back in the day. |
5787 | How can I disable auto-updating of Market apps? | Is there any way that to turn off auto update of Android Market apps? My phone prompts me for available updates and it runs in the background, and I think it's sapping precious battery power. |
5781 | How come my my HTC Desire Z sometimes doesn't notify me about a new SMS? | My HTC Desire Z has developed an issue (well several, but just one for this question) where it doesn't always notify me of a new message. When a new message arrives, I expect: * the phone to beep (well ring tone), and * there to be an indicator in the notification area until I look at the message or clear notifications. This does happen the majority of the time, but sometimes neither of these things happen. But if I open the Messages app, there is the new message. This is really quite annoying, so does anyone know ways to fix this? Are there alternative SMS apps that might be different, or is this functionality an OS thing? Would using, say, CyanogenMod fix it, or at least be worth a try? Is it possible that the formatting of particular contacts would cause such a problem? Any other ideas? Version info: * Phone: HTC Desire Z (Vodafone UK) * Android: 2.2.1 * Kernel: 2.6.32.21-g540976a htc-kernel@and18-2 #1 * Build Number: 1.72.161.1 CL296256 release-keys |

60392 | Nothing is working after updating Android 2.3 to Android 4.1 | I have Samsung Galaxy Ace Duos S-6802 (originally Android 2.3). I followed the steps described here to update it. In short, I installed `ClockworkMod` and then `JellyBlastGenED.signed` in my phone. After this update, My phone is showing Android v4.1.1 under settings. The icons, fonts etc are looking very small.

19228 | No notifications during the night hours | I had juice defender installed on my phone for a few weeks but then I decided to remove it. One of the settings that I set up was to disable the vibration and sound notifications during the night (from 0:30 to 6:30 or something like that). Anyway, now that the juice defender is removed from my phone this settings still remain. I am not completely sure it's like that because of JD, but I don't see any other reason for such behavior. I tried installing juice defender again, disabled all these options, but the settings are still there and I still don't get any sound or vibration during the night hours. Did anyone else had such a problem? How could I fix this and restore these settings to the "default behavior"? I am using CM 7.1.0 stable (Android 2.3.7) if that helps anyhow. |
17100 | How can I add a reminder to a calendar event at a specific date and time? | On my Samsung Galaxy S2, I can't add a useful reminder time. The calendar only offers 5 minutes, 10 minutes, ... one day, two days, ... This is utterly useless. What I usually need is "19:15 the day before the event" or remind me 12:00 on the 13th. How do I do that? |
17101 | Setup (Premium-)Push in SGS2 Social Hub Facebook SNS | I have linked my device with Facebook via the Social Hub which is quite compact and exactly what I need. Messages and status updates... however I don't get Push notifications by the Hub, only the official Facebook for Android app sends me live push notifications. When I react on these the Facebook app pops up and not the Social Hub. I want to get live push notifications of the Social Hub so I can get rid of the official app (it crashes too often...). After some time doing research on this I found out that I need to activate Premium support if available... but I haven't found any way of doing this. Can anyone explain me why I haven't found any solution? |

I plug my Kindle Fire to my computer (Windows 7 Professional) and I get the message in the Fire screen that states that I can now start to transfer files to my device but two things are happening: 1. Every time I plug the USB end to any USB port on my computer my Internet goes down !!! WTF!!!! 2. When double clicking on my computer the Kindle Fire does not seem to be recognized correctly as it shows under Devices with Removable Storage. When clicking on that drive mapping I get a pop up saying: "Insert disk" Any ideas? **UPDATE:** I have installed the Kindle drivers by adding **0x1949** to the **adb_usb.ini** and now under **Device Manager** I do not longer see "Kindle" under Others. Now I see **Android Phone/ Android Composite ADB Interface** I double click on My Computer and I still do not see the Kindle anywhere.

52518 | Cannot mount internal SD card in Semaphore CWM Recovery v5.0.2.7 | I Installed CyanogenMod 10.1.2 in my Galaxy S I9000 using Semaphore CWM Recovery v5.0.2.7 following this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd Before flashing the new ROM I made a backup using Semaphore CWM. After installing CyanongenMod I've noticed that I didn't saved my contacts inside my Google Acount so I tried to restore the backup I've made using CWM Recovery. An error occured while restoring and after that I can't boot in normal mode (I didn't remember the error message). When tried entering in the recovery mode to reinstall the CyanogenMod I got the following error messages: > E:failed to open /etc/recovery.fstab (No such file or directory) > > E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command] > > E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command > > E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/log] > > E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log > > E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/last_log] > > E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log > > E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log > > E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command] And when I try to install CyanogenMod from the SD card I got the following errors: > E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard/] > > E:Can't mount /sdcard/ I tried reinstalling CWM Recovery but nothing changed. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this issue and flash a new ROM? Thank you. |
958 | Why does my Samsung Galaxy S crash ("Not enough space in music database") when sorting by artist? | Had my Samsung Galaxy S for a week or so, and my new micro-SD card arrived a few days ago, loaded all my music onto it, listened to various albums no problem. Now when I go into the built-in Music Player app and select the "Artists" tab at the top, Music Player closes with a "Not enough space in music database" error in the notification bar with a red warning triangle sign. All the other tabs (All, Playlists, Albums & Genres) work with no problem, but as soon as I hit the Artists tab it crashes out. It's a 32GB SD-card with about 25GB of music on it, the internal SD card is almost empty with no music on it at all. On the PC I'm a SqueezePlayer and Last.Fm user, so I'm pretty sure all my tags are setup right (Last.FM lets you know in your feed if you've got incorrect artist/track info, and SqueezePlayer lives or dies by the quality of your tagging). Searching for this on the web, all I can find is other people with various sized music collections and SD-cards (8, 16 & 32GB) all having this problem and the only suggestions are to download different music apps from the Market. No one seems to have a real solution. That can't be right can it? I previously had an HTC Magic Android phone with a full 8GB micro-SD and much of the same music with no problems playing. There must be some way to get the built-in music player app working properly? Does anyone know what file/where is this database and whether wiping/clearing it would help? |
951 | Kindle Android - Refresh a book cover? | I use the Kindle app for Android. I had 'bought' one of the classic titles which they have - _War and Peace_ , which, like many of the classics, had no cover image. They have since updated the title on the Kindle store with a picture for the cover. I would like to update the title on my device so that it shows the cover art. How can I do this? I tried "deleting" the title (it then goes to "archived items") and then redownloading it but this did not work. I also checked in _Quick App Clean Cache_ to see if there was a cache I could clean, but Kindle is not listed. I also tried doing a 'sync' from within Kindle. None of these steps has helped. My device is a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate, running Eclair yet (I think I'm getting my Froyo sometime this month). If possible, I would certainly prefer to do this in such a way as to not lose my positions in the books I'm reading. |
953 | How can I get Google Navigation (navigation in Maps) on Android to navigate walking directions? | I know how to get walking/public transportation/biking _directions_ , but driving directions are the only ones I can navigate (tracks the location, shows turns coming up, compensates for wrong turns, etc.). How can I navigate on the walking directions? And yeah, I know that I can show the walking directions on the map, and try to follow them myself, but then it's always north up instead of track up and it doesn't make any attempts to snap the GPS location to the street. |
955 | Samsung Galaxy S : Why can't I set cursor position in text boxes in browser? | When using the default browser on my Galaxy S, I can't see a cursor in text boxes that have focus. With no cursor I don't know where letters I type will appear. This seems to occur on all sites I have tested. Can someone with this phone confirm there is something wrong? Note that the address bar at the top is fine and behaves as I would expect. Input method is the Samsung keyboard. No third party apps or firmware installed. Feel free to ask questions if you need more info. Thanks |

80795 | My phone got factory reset and all data wipes, can I find out how? | Today morning after a long taxi ride (I am travelling this week, persobal vacation), I took my phone from my pocket and it seemed to be turned off. I switched it on and the phone started up as it was the first time. All my settings, config, apps, widgets were gone. I think the phone was factory reset. Not sure if it was locally (accidental click in settings?) or may be remotely. (The phone _was_ fine earlier in the morning). I tried to get the data from my Google account backup (which I remember setting up when I got this phone) but I could not (no 'Restore' option was enabled in settings. But that would be a different question). I had to manually (painfully) set up things again. All my photos ate backed up to google and I think I can get them back. Same for apps, most of the should have data on the cloud somewhere. Is there a way to know what happened? I have a HTC one (M7), and use Google for most services including back ups. |

Whenever I switch my phone back on, I'm presented with 2 "Sending Failed" dialog boxes from 2 emails that I've sent in the past - originally, when I tried to send them, I had network problems, so they wouldn't send straight away. However they were sent weeks/months ago, and are no longer in my Outbox - or even my Sent folder! Just wondering how I can stop this dialog from appearing. It doesn't affect the functionality of the handset, I just don't see why i still get it. |
64257 | How do I retrieve timestamps from my Firefox download history? | I'm looking for a way to retrieve timestamps of my download history at the full precision that they are stored at, preferably to at least second precision. Unfortunately though, without obtaining root permission over my phone, I don't have access to my own user data at `/data/`, so I'm trying to figure out a way to do this through Firefox using JavaScript. Situation: I made the big mistake of moving pictures and videos from the internal storage of my phone to a microSD card using Android's stock tool to do so (‘Settings’ → ‘Storage’ → ‘Transfer data to SD card’). Unfortunately, this bumped the timestamps of all of the files, and also messed around with directories other than `DCIM/` (images and videos were also moved from the `Download/`, `image/`, `Pictures/`, and `video/` directories). In hindsight it seems silly that I used such a tool (I'd normally use Ghost Commander), but it appeared as a notification when running low on internal storage space and it just looked so easy. I've since been trying to piece back together the timestamps of the various images and videos. I have restored the timestamps of photos and recorded videos in `DCIM/100ANDRO/` based on timestamps in their embedded metadata (see this Unix & Linux Q/A), and I've figured out how to restore the timestamps of all of the images and videos in the `image/`, `Pictures/`, and `video/` directories, but I'm still stuck with how to restore the images in `Download/`. The embedded metadata of these files isn't going to help me to restore their timestamps, because I want to restore them back to when I _obtained_ the file (i.e. downloaded it), so I need to get access to my Firefox data and obtain the download timestamps. Once I have the timestamps, I'll then be able to `touch` the files to approximately the correct timestamp that they had before Android lost them. I'm using mobile Firefox 27.0 on Android 4.3. |

59894 | MMS video auto compression | I have a new Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I love the device, but sending a quick video MMS seems to be a challenge. On other devices I have used, the video will automatically get compressed to a very low quality and will just send it. This is all I want. I don't need to send super clear video, just a small compressed video to family and friends. Are there any apps that will handle this automatically without making me upload to a cloud service and sending a link or some cumbersome process? I also don't want to have to choose a low quality recording beforehand, I would like the good quality stored on my phone, but send a simple low quality clip over the air. |
45024 | My Samsung Galaxy Note won't charge but will turn on for 1 second | I got my Samsung Galaxy Note about 5 months ago and three months into having it I dropped it and cracked the screen.

About a month or so after having dropped it I started using my mum's phone for a while, as the size was starting to be a problem and I was about to go to a festival. I have come to want to use my Note again and it hasn't let me charge it. Is this because of how long it has been since it was last charged or the strength of the charger that came with it? Or could be be something to do with the screen? |

29211 | Which directories can I remove in internal SD in Galaxy SII w/ Cyanogenmod? | I used ClockworkMod to wipe my Samsung Galaxy SII and install Cyanogenmod 9.1 on it. However, when I mounted my phone on my computer, I see that lots of folders were left on its internal SD by apps from before I flashed my phone. I was tempted to just delete everything on the internal HD from my computer (running Mac OS X 10.6.8), but I noticed there seems to be critical directories on it like one for Clockwordmod. Here is a list of the directories on the internal SD via ls -a:  Are there directories in here that are essential to the normal function of the phone?

10452 | What are some of the effects of flashing my HTC Desire with cyanogenmod? | Recently rooted my HTC Desire (GSM) and considering flashing it with cyanogenmod. However I have a few quick questions related to flashing with cyanogenmod (or any ROM in general I suppose). Firstly, will flashing with the ROM delete my apps/data? ie. will I be starting from a "fresh" state? (I have done a nandroid backup and also backed up all system apps + data with Titanium backup, but just curious). Secondly, got my phone online so it's actually from Taiwan, thus it has a **locale=en_TW** keyboard. I quite like this 'keyboard' because it allows me to input Chinese in many different ways - namely: handwritten, pinyin, zhuyin and strokes. Will flashing with the ROM remove this 'feature' from the keyboard? Thirdly, according to cyanogen's wiki it says: > NOTE: the ClockworkMod version 2.5.0.7 installed by Unrevoked3 is widely > reported not to work with new "PVT4" batches of the Desire. I checked and I am in that boat - have 2.5.0.7 and a PVT4 Desire. So does that mean I need to follow the below steps to install a newer version of clockworkmod? Also, once flashed, how will I get future updates of cyanogenmod? Will I have to reflash the phone to get the updates? Thank you! pyko |

29217 | Changing file permissions with root, will they remain if I unroot? | I currently use the run-as command through adb to be able to access the data folder of an app that I am developing directly on my phone using AIDE. When connecting to the phone locally, using connectbot, I can find the run-as command in `/system/bin/` but it has no executable permission. There are other programs/scripts in that folder that do have executable permissions and I can run them. My question is this. If I root my phone, I can change the executable permissions of run-as. If I then remove the root, will these permissions remain? I'm not totally averse to rooting my phone permanently but if I don't need to, I'd rather not. This is on a Galaxy Nexus. * * * I'm aware if I leave run-as executable then I'm possibly allowing myself wide open for security risks. But I am willing to risk it, even just to see if its possible. |

53648 | twitter app crashes recently on HTC Sensation with Android 4.0.3 | I know it might be not an OS relevant question, but I hope it is also fine to post it here. Since a few days, the twitter app crashes every time I search for a tagword after a few seconds. Then the app goes to the startscreen. Reasoned by there was no update for this app I guess a backend problem or incompatibly to other apps or services. Does anybody has the same problem or know how to identify it correctly? Best Tom! |

78318 | Package Name Info for Android Apps | Hi I would like to know if there exists a website where in once you enter the name of the android app gives you all the related info of that particular app. I am especially interested in the `Package Name` of the app. I know about the site `Droid Icon`(Link) and also the app called Package Name viewer and have tried both out. The App `package name viewer` works excellently but only returns the info of the apps installed on my device and not all. So for the information I need I have to install the app first. Which is a tedious job if we need to do it for 10 or more apps. Droid Icon web site gives numerous package names which are at times not correct. So I would like to know if there exists another source for my specific requirement.( i.e package names). |

63151 | What exactly is Device Memory and is it possible to see it's contents? | I'm using Sony Xperia L (Non-Rooted, Stock OS) which shows me I have 1.52 GBs of Device Memory. "Apps and Media" are taking up 0.98 GB and ~240MB is remaining free. I don't understand where all that extra memory has gone to. So what exactly is this Device Memory? I read that it's "the memory where Android installs Apps". That doesn't really answer my question because I'm trying to get a better understanding of the missing space here and I hardly have Apps installed. So does anyone know: 1) What is the location on the Internal Memory that is considered as Device Memory? I mean is it a Folder? 2) How exactly does Android go about calculating that "Apps & Media" 3) Is there any way of seeing the File/Folder contents of Device Memory? If we go to Settings> Storage we have a section called **Device Memory**. Here is a screenshot from my phone. Notice how the space breakup doesn't add up here.  |

8903 | Samsung S Galaxy II (i9100): possible with stock Google Android OS? | I'm in the market for a new Smartphone. Except for iPhone's, I'm new in the field and probably have some misconceptions. My first choice was the Google Nexus S, but I was offered a great deal on the Samsung S Galaxy II (i9100). The only issue is that I read that it came with an "enhanced" version of Android. Being familiar with PC's, I know that these enhancements are almost always bloatware: I always do a clean install of Windows to get rid of it. My question is fairly simple: is this possible to use the stock Google Android OS on the Samsung S Galaxy II (i9100)? That was the killer feature of the Nexus S for me: coming directly from Google, easily upgradable. Would that be possible and if yes, how? Thank you for enlightening me. |

26934 | Wifi access point with USB-OTG ethernet? | I want my phone to act as a ethernet capable wifi access point (WAN via ethernet). When I use USB-OTG with an ethernet USB adapter attached to my Galaxy Nexus (non-rooted stock Jelly Bean) I get regular internet access just fine. Only thing I'm wondering about is the fact that 3G is shown in the status bar although mobile data connection is disabled. The connection goes over ethernet. My Problem appears when I want to share this connection via wifi (hotspot). The hotspot is enabled and the other device (or whatever) is connected but it doesn´t get internet access... Is this a known problem? Any ideas how to get this working? _**Edit:_** It's not about 3G tethering, thats works fine. The problem is tethering while the phone is connected with the LAN over an RJ45-Ethernet adapter. |

24275 | Android failure to boot on LG | I need to recover data from my AT&T LG Thrill Android Phone Background: My AT&T LG Thrill phone's battery died a couple of days ago because I forgot to charge it. When I charged the phone and tried to turn it on, it showed the LG logo followed by the dropping balls and the AT&T "Rethink Possible" screen. I then get a mesage that the Application Google Services Framework has crashed and the phone goes into a loop with the dropping balls showing again followed by "Rethink Possible" screen. This sequence repeats itself over and over and the phone does not get out of this loop. I have been able to go into the recovery screen (both Safe Mode and the Android Recovery Service) and have cleared cache, etc. However, I DO NOT want to wipe user data and restore to factory settings as this will wipe all of my data (pictures, application data, etc). Solution Needed: I need a suggestion to a way of accessing my data so that I can back it up onto an SD card/computer. I DO NOT want to root the phone as this may void the warranty. What I'm looking for is a way of perhaps putting the original flash image on the micro SD card and then have the phone read that image. Or some other similar solution that will get the phone out of this loop and allow me to get to the data. |
26689 | Problem connecting Nexus 7 as mass storage device on Windows 7 | I have an Asus Nexus 7 tablet, and was trying to connecting it in MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) mode to my Samsung Series 5 laptop running Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium Edition. I have a bunch of Android development tools installed also, and typically have my devices connected using the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) driver. When I first attempted to connect my Nexus 7 to my laptop to use in MTP mode, it simply _refused to show up in Windows Explorer_. Finally, I figured out that I had to uninstall the ADB device ("Android Phone") from _Device Manager_ and then it would work correctly in MTP mode. Any ideas why this is? Is MTP mode trumped by the ADB USB Driver? **Note** : I always had _USB Debugging_ disabled on the Nexus 7, so it wasn't that. |
26688 | Strange/troubling behavior when putting phone in car dock | I have a Galaxy Nexus (rooted, running stock Jellybean). When I place it in the car dock, my screen gets flooded with notifications for "shell granted superuser access," and after a few minutes something attempts to send an email, which I know because it raises the "Select an application to continue" dialog box with choices between Gmail and Email; if I allow it to continue, it simply provides me with a bug reporting email message with no pre-filled recipient, a screen shot of my lock screen, and a 4.7MB(!) textfile. When I check the superuser log, all of the last 200 events are for "shell," all within a second of each other, which tells me that the actual count of superuser accesses is far higher than that. Consulting the log indicates that the `su` process is being used to run a bunch of different diagnostics (one for `lsof`, one per running process, one per sqlite database, and so on). So this tells me that it's actually the bug reporting process that is causing the "shell granted superuser access" messages to pop up. Also, the `su` instance being used is not the third-party root one but `/system/xbin/su` \- and this process is terminating with exit code 127. I have never seen this behavior occur anywhere else - it is only when I dock the phone to the car dock when plugged into my car (plugging it into a USB AC adapter doesn't cause this behavior, which is especially strange). I have written a small application that uses UiModeManager to artificially enter car mode, but doing that does not cause the issue to occur; aLogcat doesn't show anything interesting while the issue is actually happening. I am running Apex Launcher instead of the default, but these notifications occur regardless of what's in the foreground (the first time it happened, Maps was running in navigation mode), and whether I have a Car Home-specific shell installed or not. |

50348 | How can I get information what happend with my Galaxy S4 | I bought new Galaxy S4 before two months and from the beginning I have started to experience some serious software issues. Every evening before I go to the bed I connect my phone to charge and in the morning it is frozen (dead, no response) with red light indicator and no response of buttons. To start the device I have to hold for a long time the power button and only then the device boot. I have sent it to the service and after two weeks they return it with new software and the problem stopped. Yesterday I made a flash with some xda ROM with serious review and this morning the issue has return. I know that is my fault and changing the ROM will broke the warranty, but after no one else is experiencing that problem with this ROM I have started to search for an explanation. The question is how can I record the moment when the phone freeze and view the log after that... Is there some kind of a text file where it holds some information about the processes? The tricky is to view that file after the phone is down and I switched it on... Thank you! Sorry for my bad English.. :) |

58782 | 64gb SDXC Cards in Galxy S2 | I spent _hours_ looking for a solution to my issues with my 64gb Micro SDXC card that my girlfriend purchased me for my birthday. From what I understand only capacities up to 32gb are officially supported. But thread after thread informed me that users of my phone had successfully used one. When I first plugged in my SD my phone said "Preparing SD card" and then, after a brief pause, "SD Card safe to remove". The card wasn't mounting. I tried inserting it into my SD adapter and formatting in NTFS on my laptop. Side note - whoever designed SD adapters and ports can go straight to hell. I was terrified of damaging my expensive new card since it got stuck in the adapter, and the adapter left 1mm of space outside my laptop. Holy crap. After formatting in NTFS the phone informed me it'd have to reformat the SD card. Progress, I thought, until after the formatting message I had the same issue. I thought maybe my firmware was the issue and spent a couple hours trying to figure out how to jailbreak. Long story short I gave up. |

They have huge amounts of navigation/advertising on the sides, and the actual article text is ridiculously small. Even zooming in does not help. Is there something on Android similar to iPhone's reader feature? I'd like to strip a site's bad layout and read just the main text (larger font, wrap- around based on my screen width, etc.). For what it's worth, I'm on a Galaxy S III. |

This contact obviously has the same name as me, just the email is my work email. I tried to give my work-self contact a different phonetic name so that I can use voice commands to select it. This seems to work if i want to place a call, but if I try to send an email, the voice search keeps saying that it can't find a contact. Does the voice search really search contacts differently depending on the action? Is there anything I can do? |

Now I'd like to give my 5 year old my Gnex as a basic "game/kids app device" that he can mess around with since he was used to playing a few kid games before on it. I still want WIFI access so airplane mode is out. However, **I'd like to be able to completely remove the PHONE functionality** from the phone. The phone has no service, but can still make Emergency calls and I'm concerned about him possibly doing so before I can explain to 911 that it was an accidental call. **So, is there a way to completely disable:** * the phone dialer * the ability to place emergency calls * the contacts/address book Bottom line: If you think in Apple terms, I'd like an "iPhone" to become an "IPod Touch", but for my Android. |

66254 | web browser exits after a few hours | I wanted to use an Android tablet for a browser-based info frame, displaying an autorefreshing page. I installed a program that disables screen timeout / blanking, I set the webpage as the homepage, I just need to click "browser" on startup and... ...and about 2 hours I'm back to desktop. Browser quits all by itself. The webpage code is fairly trivial, little chance for any memory leaks (simply reloading the target URL of an image inside a function launched with `setInterval()` ) and there is no manual intervention of any kind or any other activity performed by the tablet. Is there any way either to keep the browser from quitting, or to have it restarted in case it does? The tablet runs Android 2.3.3 (or thereabouts) and can't be upgraded to anything newer - it's a fairly obscure model with no rooting procedures available and the manufacturer doesn't provide any higher upgrades. |
