41339 | Galaxy Mini bricked: black screen | I have a Galaxy Mini GT-5570 phone. Last night I installed "ROM Manager" and tried to partition my SD card. It requires to reboot my phone and I confirmed that, so it shut down my phone. Then it can't boot anymore -- all I get is just a black screen! Unfortunately, I read that ROM Manager can cause hard brick for Galaxy Mini lately... I tried all possible solutions found in the Internet but nothing works. So I decided to try the USB JIG method as it can force my phone to boot to download mode. The point is that I can't find 300k resistor then can I try 330k or it's dengerous? Is there another method to revive my phone back ?? |
41330 | Cannot connect my Galaxy Ace to my Google account | I have 'Market' and every time I attempt to log into it using my Google account it says that it 'Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.' Any idea what could be done to get it working? |
41331 | Deleting a device from the Google Play Store? | Yesterday I bought a new Android smartphone & performed a factory reset on my previous HTC handset. Naturally (I think) I set up my new phone under the same Google account as was registered for my HTC. If I login to the Google Play Store, I was expecting, and maybe naively assumed to find, a way to delete the HTC handset, but I cannot seem to find a way to achieve this! As this is only my second Android device, I have not encountered this situation before. (Perhaps there were steps I should have taken on my HTC, prior to performing the factory reset.) I am however surprised that Google does not allow you to carry out such a basic task. Did I miss something? Does Google wish you to create a new account every time you change phones/tablets? |
41335 | Rooted SGS3 and Kies doesn't work with my ROM, Looking for contact list files | Recently rooted my SGS3 and installed a custom ROM, so I had to import my contacts number back into my phone and I had them saved as a vcard... When I imported all the names, I thought it had buggered up so I imported them again, now there are two of every name and it's a very lengthy process to manually remove every 2nd name (I have 800+ contacts). I'm trying to find a way to remove my contacts completely, but seeing as Kies and Kies Air don't work properly with this ROM, I'm trying to locate the path in my phone that has the contact files so I can remove them that way. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. |
40062 | How do I check if I have Cyanogenmod on my phone? | Is it possible to check using shell whether or not Cyanogenmod is installed on a device? In other words, something like `uname -a` (which tells the system Linux version and architecture). Can the version be determined as well? |
14149 | What happens when bluetooth headphones run out of battery while playing music? | I have a Motorola Xoom 3G with Android 3.0 and use it with a bluetooth headset. I'd like to know what happens when the headphones run out of battery? Does the music just stop in the same way it does when I unplug wired headphones? |
77496 | Lost ringtones sound | I have an LG P700. A few days ago I tried to use LG PC Suite to back it up. PC Suite got stuck at some point of the process and asked me to disconnect the phone and restart it, in spite that the screen of the phone had a warning not to touch it. I rashly followed the PC Suite instructions and restarted the phone. After doing so, I found that no backup had been created and all the events in my calendar had disappeared, as described in an earlier question. Now I have also realized that my phone doesn't ring when I receive a call (haven't received many lately), although it does vibrate. In Settings -> Sound -> Phone ringtone I have a list of all the original ringtones that came with the phone, but when I touch them nothing happens, no sound. How can I restore my ringtones? Thanks. |
15812 | Restrictions of a Kindle Fire in Canada? | I wanted to order a Kindle Fire in Canada but I saw that it wasn't available. Now I really wanted one and I could always just cross the border and get one. What I want to know is how restricted will it be in Canada. I hear it's probably only the Amazon content distribution system that won't work, meaning I still get a full-featured Android tablet with the Android market. I should be able to get any apps and any books from the Android market that I can normally with my phone in Canada. Is that how it's looking? |
18672 | Market enabler not working (anymore??) | I own a MIUI-powered HD2 and a Chinese tablet on which I would like to install a couple of free apps that are intended for Italian market. I can see these apps from an A500 tablet but not from these two devices. I tried Market Enabler (all are already rooted) on both the devices but it seems that it doesn't work. I can still see Chinese apps on the tablet and I'm still on an unknown market from the phone. I would actually like to install Skype on the tablet. Does somebody know if Android Market now prevents Market enabler to do the trick? I also tried a couple of other enabler apps, but one said that operator change failed. I understand that my question may look duplicate because lots of people ask how to install other-countries apps, but I'm asking if Google implemented some countermeasures. Thank you. [Update] I tried the following * Clear Market data from Settings\Applications\Manage\All\Market * Ran Market Enabler, set current market to Italy - TIM (should be 22201), said NO to prompt to switch to market at once. Checked that status bar reported "Current market: Italy" * Rebooted * Checked that ME ran on startup by `su` notification * Started ME, noticed that current market is `Unknown` * Switched again to Italy from list, chose YES to boot market * Accepted Android Market license, still saw Chinese apps and no trace of Skype or other apps that I need |
33918 | Minimum micro SD size | Whats the minimum Micro SD card size that my phone HTC Explorer can detect? I used a 2GB card, partitioned it into two sizes, 1GB - `ext4` logical & 700+ MB as primary `Fat32` ( the default that it was before). Now when I insert the card back to my phone ( I used a card reader to partition it ) , my mobile is not detecting the Micro SD card. thanks in advance |
33255 | How do I turn off speech search in Jelly Bean? | I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S 2, and last night I updated it to Jelly Bean in hopes that it might solve a few small bugs. Most everything seems to be working as hoped. However, one new inconvenience has popped up. Before the upgrade, I controlled my MP3 player, Poweramp, by pressing the button attached to the wire of my headphones. One short press to stop and start songs, one long press to advance forward. After upgrading, whenever I press the button, the phone goes into voice search mode. That is, it turns on the microphone and is waiting for me to say something to search for using the Google search app. I have tried to look in system settings, and also in the settings for the Google search widget that's on the top of every screen. However, I can't find any way of turning this off. I want to give priority to Poweramp so that I can control music playback. How do I get voice search to stop getting in the way? |
14492 | IMEI invalid after applying factory reset on gooapple 5 | I have a gooapple 5. After I did a factory reset it says invalid IMEI. I followed the solution from here: * How to fix "Invalid IMEI " after Factory reset? but no luck because: 1. I did the factory reset before I saved the original modem.img (I didn't know I had to do it) 2. When I go to the data folder there are NO files whatsoever at all. It is just an empty folder named data. This extension `nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001` is not there! I am using the z4root and rootexplorer to access the files. Please can someone help with detailed instructions on how to fix this problem? |

18336 | ROM Toolbox claims backups are blocked; how can I work around this? | I was looking for a way to backup my phone's ROM (Samsung Exhibit II SGH T679 (android 2.3.5)); android market had ROM Manager; reviews were great, my phone was listed as compartible, everything looked perfect While trying to actually backup ROM, ROM Manager needed to have ClockworkMod Recovery installed first; my phone was not on the list of supported devices and I had to cancel ClockworkMod Recovery installation Ok, no sweat, I'll try something else - so I uninstalled ROM Manager and installed another app (ROM Toolbox) And here came the big surprise! With ROM Toolbox, when trying to backup ROM I get the message: **ROM Manager blocked other apps from creating backups in recovery unless ROM Manager Premium is installed. Once you install ROM Manager Premium you can use ROM Toolbox to backup your ROM.** (mind you, ROM Manager was uninstalled by that time) I would have no problem spending a few bucks and getting ROM Manager Premium, but the problem is even worse: someone did try this already and it did not help (ROM Manager Premium still doesn't support the device -> we are back to square 1) Here is the question: would it be possible to remove the lock placed by ROM Manager? If not, are there any other ways to backup the ROM? * * * **Update** : According to Koush, "other applications are not "blocked" from creating backups. They are just being lazy, and not actually building/flashing their own recovery image. " |

18675 | How can I configure an unlocked HTC Sensation XE for 3g connectivity in USA? | I bought this phone in India and brought it home to USA. In India I had no issues in connecting to 3G network but after coming back to USA I am no longer able to connect to 3G network (AT&T).

I got excited when I saw a similar link posted on another forum but that did not work on my phone. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks... |
38036 | Sync contacts on android device with G+ information | I have a contact on my phone that doesn't show anything but a phone number.

38035 | Syncing between Windows 7 and Android Jellybean with Winamp | I want to sync my Samsung Galaxy S3 4G to my Windows 7 PC with Winamp so I can easily sync playlists to and from my phone and computer. So I followed the instructions in Winamp's official blog: http://blog.winamp.com/2010/11/30/wirelessly-sync-music-to-your-android-phone/ It didn't work. When I click on the Discover button, nothing happens. When I right-click Devices and click Start Discovery... you guessed it - _nothing_ happens! I am connected to a windows domain and connected via an Ethernet cable. Could that be preventing me from accessing the same WiFi network I have my Galaxy on? I've done some research on this issue and it is a common problem. If anyone has found a solution to it, I'll be very glad to hear it! I love using Winamp and don't want to use any other media player. |

It shows up as nexus 7 when I view it on my PC as a drive. When I drag a photo to the tablet from the pc, the photo file on the nexus 7 shows up there. I cannot view the photo no matter what I do on the tablet, it says 0 photos. I also cannot get any video file to play on the tablet after I drag and drop it. No sign of it on the tablet, but I can see it in the folder on my pc. I am using USB. This is so frustrating. |
51557 | Help identifying tablet manufacturer and model to get specs | I received a 7" tablet as a "gift" when I attended a presentation recently. I'd like to find out some specs about it (processor details, who the manufacturer is in case I need support, etc.). I hope someone can help point me in the right direction... The device came in a white and blue box that said "Android" and "Tablet PC" on it. There is no mention of any manufacturer, so my guess is I got an extremely cheap Chinese tablet. The instructions seem to indicate so...the English in it is horrible. Based on the "About tablet" section in Settings, it seems to be running stock Android 4.0.4 and its model number is "TWD_MID". I did some searches but couldn't find any conclusive manufacturer/specs. It has 1GB of internal storage, another "internal storage" worth 1.71GB, and it has a "TF Card" slot...which takes MicroSD cards. Thanks in advance... Kevin |
47040 | How to see mobile operator proxy settings | My mobile internet suddenly has stopped working. Chrome complains Error 130 (net::ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED). Google app store and other apps those load content from servers now work only when I connect through wifi. I set in firefox about:config network.proxy.type from default value 5 (use system settings) to 0 (no proxy) and firefox has started working. Proxy Settings app shows empty fields. As I don't use any proxy I would like to see that system wide proxy setup which broke my mobile inet |
47041 | Tablet not connected to N wifi | I have bought a cheap tablet, and it was not able to connect to my N-only wifi. When I set it to NG or G, it connected fine. So I took it back to the shop and had it replaced. The new one has the same problem. I have tried several channels and even disabled the encryption on the router, nothing helped. The interesting part is, I asked my neighbour to change his network to N-only, and the tablet connected to that one. Both of us have TP-Link routers, mine with DD-WRT, his with stock rom. 3 other android devices and a Win7 laptop connects to my N-only wifi without problems. G is fine for browsing, but not enough for streaming. Any suggestions? |
47044 | Making Android phone locked using the SIM card password | When I press the power button. the Android phone will go into sleep mode. When I press the power button again, the Android phone will wake up and ask me a password. So, how do I make the Android phone ask me the password that belong to the SIM card instead of the phone itself? What I mean is that the SIM card was locked with a password. The phone itself was not locked with any password (also not locked in pattern password). So, how do I make the Android phone prompt me the password of the SIM card every time when I wake it up regardless if I just power up the android phone or I just wake it up from a sleep? |
47045 | Restoring APKs + data from 4.1 to 4.2.2 | I migrated from `Android 4.1` (Omega) to `Android 4.2.2` (SuperNexus) on my Samsung Galaxy S3. Before I did the migration I did a backup of apps with `Super Backup`. After this was done I moved all the files from the `SmsContactsBackup` folder to SDCard. After flash, I've installed `Super Backup` again from the Play store and putted the `SmsContactsBackup` folder in `/storage/emulated/0/SmsContactsBackup`. Now I see all the backups in the Super Backup app. After I do a restore/install of an app, the settings are not being picked up by the apps. Plague Inc.: I see the settings in `data/data/com.miniclip.plagueinc`. But the app crashes on launch. Lazors: I see the settings in `data/data/net.pyrosphere.lazors`. But my progress is gone. Do they need to be somewhere else? Or do I need to use some other tool which can use my previous backups |

15363 | why can't I scroll Wikipedia pages horizontally? | I have found that Wikipedia pages with image content larger than my Droid X's screen size cannot be resized or scrolled horizontally, this means that these pictures are only partially visible. obviously this is very frustrating. I have already tried different browsers (Dolphin, Boat) and have also tried different User Agents (iPhone, iPad, and even Desktop) with no effect. I should also note that I have the exact same problem when viewing Facebook photos in the Browser. The only thing that **sometimes** works is rotating the aspect ratio to landscape, and then only if the horizontal size of the photo is less than ~850px. horizontal scrolling and zooming is still disabled. Strangely - googling this problem returns _no_ results! so maybe I'm the only one with this problem??? somehow, I doubt it tho. does anyone have a solution? or even an explanation? |

Apparently, something was and now my Samsung Epic Touch 4G will not boot into either odin mode or cwm. The only thing I get is the blue power indicator, which will blink once after a couple seconds and then go steady again. Have I bricked my phone or is there something I can do? Thanks! |
62501 | Tasker (switch off mobile data automatically) causing trouble under CyanogenMod | I used to use this tasker profile for nearly a year now already and it used to work fine, untill I recently switcht from the Samsung default UI TouchWiz to CyanogenMod on my Galaxy Note (1). The Task triggered by the profile (which I'll post further below) looks like the following: <TaskerData sr="" dvi="1" tv="4.2u3m"> <Task sr="task15"> <cdate>1390655578675</cdate> <edate>1391243001675</edate> <id>15</id> <nme>mobile data [off]</nme> <Action sr="act0" ve="3"> <code>30</code> <Int sr="arg0" val="0"/> <Int sr="arg1" val="11"/> <Int sr="arg2" val="0"/> <Int sr="arg3" val="0"/> <Int sr="arg4" val="0"/> </Action> <Action sr="act1" ve="3"> <code>37</code> <lhs>%SCREEN</lhs> <op>1</op> <rhs>off</rhs> </Action> <Action sr="act2" ve="3"> <code>433</code> <Int sr="arg0" val="0"/> </Action> </Task> </TaskerData> And this is the profile which triggers the above task: <TaskerData sr="" dvi="1" tv="4.2u3m"> <Profile sr="prof16" ve="2"> <cdate>1390655626259</cdate> <clp>true</clp> <edate>1391189579981</edate> <id>16</id> <limit>true</limit> <mid0>15</mid0> <nme>auto mobile data [off]</nme> <State sr="con0"> <code>123</code> <Int sr="arg0" val="0"/> </State> <State sr="con1"> <code>110</code> <Int sr="arg0" val="1"/> <Int sr="arg1" val="1"/> <Int sr="arg2" val="1"/> <Int sr="arg3" val="1"/> </State> </Profile> <Task sr="task15"> <cdate>1390655578675</cdate> <edate>1391170165892</edate> <id>15</id> <nme>mobile data [off]</nme> <Action sr="act0" ve="3"> <code>30</code> <Int sr="arg0" val="0"/> <Int sr="arg1" val="11"/> <Int sr="arg2" val="0"/> <Int sr="arg3" val="0"/> <Int sr="arg4" val="0"/> </Action> <Action sr="act1" ve="3"> <code>37</code> <lhs>%SCREEN</lhs> <op>1</op> <rhs>off</rhs> </Action> <Action sr="act2" ve="3"> <code>433</code> <Int sr="arg0" val="0"/> </Action> </Task> </TaskerData> Now what the profile should do is switching the mobile data connection - if it's turned on - off 11 seconds after the display turned black. Seems not too tricky. But running CyanogenMod, it doesn't work anymore; what now happens is: after I booted my smartphone, everything works like a charm (connection via mobile data is stable and accessible immediately after you turn it on). But after the first time you swith off the screen (that's when tasker kicks in), nothing works anymore. The mobile data is switched off, yes - or at least, there's no connection anymore. But the system itself seems not to realize this properly as both, in the settings as well as in the notification bar, it's still displayed as "on". You can switch it off there too, but either way, there's no way to turn it back on (yes the switches still work, but they don't have any effect). Description: Profil: mobile data [off] (16) Status: Displaystatus [ Ist:Aus ] Status: Mobiles Netzwerk [ 2G:An 3G:An 3G - HSPA:An 4G:An ] Eingang: mobile data [off] (15) A1: Warte [ MS:0 Sekunden:11 Minuten:0 Std.:0 Tage:0 ] A2: If [ %SCREEN ~ off ] A3: mobile data [ setzen:Aus ] Sorry it came out in german, but since I use Tasker in german, that's how it is... |
19464 | Kindle fire CM7 barebones: how can I get the home screen into portrait mode? | I recently installed the latest (2/9/2012) build of cyanogen mod 7 for my kindle fire.

I'd appreciate any help. Unrelated: this rom is awesome! |
19460 | How to schedule shutdown of a phone? | I want to use my phone as a wireless router. Since I am on a time-based data plan, I want the phone to automatically shutdown after a specified amount of time (or at least close the data connection after a specified amount of time). Basically, I want to prevent to exceed the data limit, and the shutdown is a plus. The phone is running gingerbread but I will probably install cyanogenmod 7.2. |
19463 | Why Automatic App Updates In Market Don't Work? | Every time i see a few of apps trying to auto-update themselves but just stalling when it says "Downloading". In other words, automatic update for apps does not work and I am only left with cancelling download/update and doing this manually. Is there a reason why automatic updates do not work? Additionally it would be good to know if there was a way to schedule updating of apps or somehow to update a few at one time because updating many/most apps after accessing internet after a long period of time just bogs down system. |
39074 | Galaxy S3 missing "Accounts and Sync" | I have Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 version 4.1.2 and I lost the "Accounts and Sync" under settings.

How can I control Auto sync mode on each application? Thanks |
39076 | Sim card failed | Ever since that I got the cyanogen 7 it says that no SIM -- but it is in there. I was wondering how to solve the problem It has been ... quite and adventure. **What I've tried:** First I tried Heimdall from Ubuntu (didn't even connect to the phone). Then I tried from Windows, using its graphical interface. It had the "repartition" flag activated by default, when it shouldn't, so I bricked my phone. After lots of trial an error, I managed to install a ROM in my phone, using Odin as root, the stock cable, and a different USB port than the one I was using (go figure...). And from there I was able to install cyanogenmod as it says on the instructions. Then I had to reinstall them, because they were bootlooping. END TL;DR **Current Status:** So, now I've got a Samsung Galaxy S with Cyanogenmod 7. But it complaints that it doesn't detect any SIM card. When it boots up, it says `No SIM card. Emergency calls only`. Notice that it doesn't say "incompatible SIM", nor it asks me for a password of any kind. It just doesn't seem to detect the card at all. **Question:** What steps can I follow to solve this issue, or at least get more information about it? |

69242 | How do Android reverse engineering tools extract packages/ package hierarchy present in Android apps? | I have been involved in disassembling Android apps using baksmali and dexpler. Whenever I disassemble an app, I find the packages and package hierarchy (that would have been available in development scenario) intact. For instance, when I disassemble a task manager app (MD5: 3377f8527479ab4e72bf9fa5eec62abe), I get the package hierarchy as shown in the figure below.. In this context, I have the following questions, 1. Will this hierarchy of Java packages be preserved and retained while building apps. When we develop apps, of course, we use many packages and we put them in a hierarchy while we build the app. But, all the code written by developers will be converted into a single classes.dex file. Will the packages and package hierarchy information be retained in this classes.dex file or any other part of the apk file (like META-INF)? 2. If this information is not available from .dex, where does this come from? How does every disassembling/ decompiling tool manages to extract this package hierarchy? 3. Where to find documentation/ literature relevant to packages and package hierarchy in the app building process? I tried skimming thro' Android documentation in vain. |

43740 | Why is internet switched off when switching 2G/3G? | I have a stock Android 4.2.2 on Galaxy Nexus, so I think this can be related to all Android phones. When switching from 2G to 3G and vice versa internet connection is switched off for a few seconds, even though when I browse in 3G I can connect to EDGE and GPRS too: why does this happen? |
43745 | What is the difference between CFAutoRoot and CFRoot? | I wanted to "root" my Android phone. Therefore I went to the XDA forums to download the root package. I found two versions of it: CF Auto Root and CF root. I thought one has to modify the kernel to obtain permenent "root" rights. Therefore it was justified that the CF Root package is nothing but a modified kernel. However, I didn't quite understand what the CF Auto Root does that is different? Isn't it also a modified kernel?? What does the author mean when he says this: > CF-Root (non-Auto) are manually built rooted kernels and/or flashables that > usually provide more than “just root”. CF-Auto-Root is built on an > **automated** system that I am constantly improving that takes a stock > recovery image and returns an automated rooting packages. These packages are > designed to install and enable SuperSU on your device, so apps can gain root > access, and nothing more. What does he refer as "automated" system?? |

46713 | CM10.1 now cannot record any inbound audio on phone calls | CM10.1 now cannot record any inbound audio on phone calls I was running Jellybean stock on my i9300 and used Total Recall to record telephone calls, recording both inbound and outbound audio correctly. I have now flashed CM10.1 and tried Total Recall to record telephone calls and I can no longer call inbound conversation. I have also tried Sanity, Call Recorder Demo and Digital Call Record. Whenever I change the source for each of these respective programs to MIC everything works - except of course I cannot clearly record the inbound audio (the voice of the person on the other end). When testing this I was sure to uninstall the other recording applications as I understand that 2 or more recording applications may cause conflict. Any ideas about what I should do? |
46716 | How to auto unlock SIM/UICC on trusted devices? | I don't like manually entering PIN1 of SIM/UICC everytime I reboot my Android smartphone or switch SIM/UICC between multiple trusted devices. How to auto unlock SIM/UICC on my trusted devices? The case is similar to auto-decryption of external hard disks on trusted devices. **Update:** I don't want to remove security so that one needs to enter PIN on untrusted device. |

987 | Are there any Android browsers that support loading a Java Applet in-browser? | We have a client who are switching away from Windows Mobile (and IE Mobile) to Android based devices. We have some specific software that we deploy to their WM workforce by an ActiveX applet that loads in IE Mobile, but obviously Android will have no support for ActiveX. So we will need to re-do our application to an Android- specific platform, and Java is the obvious choice for this. Are there any Android browsers that support loading a Java Applet in-browser, in much the same way an ActiveX applet loads in IE (i.e. it fully integrates into the browsing experience). |

17438 | Does 4G work with new ROM on 4G phone? | In general, how can I know whether my 4G phone with a non-stock ROM still has 4G functionality? I've read in various forums and how-tos that rooting and flashing a new ROM on your 4G Android device may disable its 4G functionality. These forums say that 4G working all depends on which device, rooting method, radio driver and ROM you use. For example, I have an HTC Evo 4G with MIUI. > _Model:_ PC36100 > _Android:_ 2.3.7 > _Baseband:_ 2.15.00.11.19 > _Kernel:_ 2.6.37-cyanogenmod-01493-g70877de, shade@toxygene #1 In my settings, I have options to switch from 2G to 3G, but I don't see anything in the menus that even recognizes the existence of 4G. However, that doesn't necessarily mean 4G doesn't work, but I can't seem to find this information anywhere on the internet. So how can I know whether my 4G phone with a non-stock ROM still has 4G functionality? |
38859 | Stock Google Music app does not scan subdirectory in Android 4.2.1 | Is it a bug in Jelly Bean 4.2.1 that subdirectories within the Music directory are not scanned for music files? UPDATE: I just verified that copying using `cp` or using `Nautilus` on Ubuntu or `Windows Explorer` works just fine. They are scanned immediately by the player. But if I use `rsync` they are not! This is very strange. I also checked file permissions and they are the same in both cases. I am trying to sync the music collection on my desktop to my Nexus 4. On my desktop my music is organized as follows. Artist1/ Artist1/Art1_Track1.mp3 Artist1/Art1_Track.mp3 Artist2/ Artist2/Art2_Track1.mp3 Artist2/Art2_Track2.mp3 ... When I copy the same directory structure into the Music directory the stock music player does not scan the music in subdirectories. It works fine for files in the base Music directory though. FYI, I use rsync to sync the music collection to the Music directory. I am using Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean on the LG Nexus 4. The device is mounted using `go-mtpfs` on a Ubuntu installation. * * * ### Update: Some summary from the comments (by Izzy) * the problem only exists when files are transferred using `rsync`. While `rsync` is in progress, files get a temporary file name extension like e.g. `.test.mp3.xdGHsk` \-- but they are correctly renamed to `.mp3` once the transfer is finished (normal behaviour for `rsync`) * there are no `.nomedia` files in the affected directories * Rescan Media is used to force the Media Scanner to update the library _after`rsync` completed its job_ ### Update: More summary from the comments and correction (by Srinath) * USB connection mode is MTP, on the Linux PC the device is mounted using go-mtpfs (MTP file system implementation in Go language) * The files transferred using `rsync` can be viewed and played using a file browser app like `ES File Explorer` |

13322 | Media Storage: what is it, and why is it using all my data? | I am only 5 days into my Billing cycle, and noticed that already like 1/3rd of my data has been used (thanks to My Data Manager)... So I looked to see what has used all this data, and it says it is "Media Storage" that has used up most of my data (it's used up over 35 MB!). This is a system process if i'm not mistaken, so my question is: is this in fact a system process? And why would it be using up so much of my data? What exactly does this process do? Would it be safe to deny it network access? |
38850 | How can I remote support an Android tablet? | My mother is considering to get an Android tablet - probably a Nexus 7 or 10. Because I don't live near her, I might need to provide some remote assistance -- and you probably know that _talking her through things on the phone_ is not very efficient, especially when I can't actually _see what's on her screen._ I **don't** want to access the file system, read SMS messages, download photos, etc. **I just want to _see what she sees_** so that I can talk her through whatever she needs help with. **Is there an Android equivalent of running a VNC server** so that I can _see_ the exact screen my mom is currently seeing? The "VNC server" apps I've seen in the Play Store are more like _remote desktop_ apps and they all seem to require to launch an app from the device -- then you can see Android on your pc _but not on the device_ which wouldn't help my mom. **Is it possible to do some kind of screen-sharing** on Android, similar to a PC running VNC? Could this work via a PC (Windows, Linux), or would I need another Android device, or perhaps even an identical Android _tablet?_ |

48656 | Samsung Note 10.1 USB Ethernet | I'm trying to get USB Ethernet support on my tablet, which for some reason is apparently disabled even though 4.1.2 directly supports it. (My Note II can use it...) I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to need to essentially write everything on my own. I'd prefer to write an app that can be used by other 10.1 users, but right now I'm just trying to get it working at all on my own device. (I'm using a BobJ Ethernet->USB Adapter) Here are my current setbacks: 1. USB Host seems to shut down randomly. This is the most irritating part, because it means I have to restart the device to use USB at all, mass storage included. What should I use to diagnose this? I've tried three different USB-specific apps from Play, but none of them give me much information besides the obvious. (That the host is not working.) 2. Even when the host controller is running and can detect the adapter, 'netcfg eth0 dhcp/up' doesn't work, claiming no device detected. Does this mean the adapter driver is missing completely? |
20120 | Connecting a Bluetooth keyboard with Google Nexus S Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) | What is the best way (if there is any) to connect a Bluetooth keyboard to a Google Nexus S with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) installed? There seems to be some applications that allow you to connect a keyboard. But reading about them is a bit confusing, often earlier versions of the Android OS are mentioned, it only works with a few keyboards, users giving negative reviews that it didn't work for them etc. I'm looking for something that does work, and has as few drawbacks as possible. If someone knows why Google doesn't support it "out of the box" that would be interesting too. |

I do know how to boot it via **eclipse** , where you open the AVD list and then select an AVD and click Start and then Launch. But I don't want to go through these many stages. Instead I would like Launch it using a single command line viz. the _emulator_ command, which I found on the website developer.android.com. I followed installation instructions.

29988 | Failed upgrade, now stuck in recovery mode | My Galaxy Note is stuck in recovery mode and I'm not sure what to do next. Here's what happened: 1. After connecting to wifi, a software update was downloaded and a message asked me to install it. I accepted, because otherwise it said it would remind me in 3 hours... 2. I left it plugged in and went out. When I came back, there was a screen warning me of the dangers of installing a "custom OS" (?) The options were to press the volume-up to install it, or volume-down to reboot. Neither option did anything. Hard rebooting went to the same screen. 3. Later, I tried to charge it, but got this repeating sequence: the symbol showing a charging (but empty batter) for a couple of seconds, then a picture of the android robot with blue polyhedron thing (like here), then blank screen. A few seconds later it repeats. 4. Finally I try rebooting into recovery mode: Android system recovery (3e) ... reboot system now apply update from external storage wipe data/factory reset ... MANUAL MODE \-- Appling Multi-CSC... (sic) Applied the CSC-code : INU Successfully applied the multi-CSC. Now, I don't really care whether I get the update or not, or whether I lose some data - I just really want a working phone again. I'm travelling atm, so it's a bit inconvenient. But mostly I'm asking for help to avoid making the problem worse. So: what should I do? It's a (unlocked) Samsung Galaxy Note with ICS. I haven't (intentionally?) rooted it, but the recovery screen shows the android with a red exclamation triangle. |

I made a 30 mins test Wifi OFF, Flight Mode On, where the 29 mins of them showed me l2_hsic under Kernel Wakelock -> Since Unplugged. Does anyone know what causes this and how to prevent it ? Thank you. ( I am running Stock ICS 4.0.4 rooted) |
