29434 | My Google Now App does not speak | I tried out the Google Now feature that comes with Jelly Bean and it's not working as I expected. It answers my questions as a search result but does not show the exact result as a card nor does it speak to me. I am using a Galaxy Nexus and 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. I checked the audio volume and I enabled Google Now. How can I get it to speak results to me? |
29431 | Ice Cream Sandwich for Samsung GT-S6102B? | I have been looking to see if my device (the Samsung GT-S6102B) supports the new Ice Cream Sandwich Android version, but have found nothing. I thought perhaps more knowledgeable people would be able to answer me, so here I ask: Does my device support the OS? |
29433 | Battery drops 20% after reboot! | Battery on Samsung Galaxy S2 on ICS likes to drop after reboot. Actually it happened when I was on Gingerbread as well. Anyone can help me fix this? Screenshots:   |
18023 | How to sync with iTunes acting as an iPOD | Is it possible, and what is the best / best free way to sync iTunes to an Android device, having all the music transferred that would be transferred to an iPod? Is it possible to have more transferred? * * * The main purpose is to transport the files from a mac to a windows machine so we can process it there, playing experience on the device is secondary. We have music from many sources, in many formats, inside/outside of the library folder. Some are not stored but streamed from the Internet when we play them. (When we try to burn CD's, or export with some app, typically only a few files are exported) |

23657 | Can I schedule a night restore/wipe? Or other management solution | I (will shortly) have a small (5-10) android tablets for use in my school. I want them to automatically wipe clean at the end of each day (specifically, remove any user data, even more specifically, browsing history/downloads). I'd mostly likely have the devices locked down to just web browsing using surelock or similar. How can I do this? Titanium backup doesn't seem to have a scheduled restore function. Alternately, are there other management tools that would achieve a similar result? |

28380 | What do "faster GPS fix" apps do? | There are at least a dozen "Faster GPS Fix" apps in the Play Store -- one is even a $5 paid app -- and they remind me of those RAM Booster/Optimizer utilities of the 1990s.  What do they do -- and the better question is: why doesn't Android do this by itself? |

2535 | Will constantly having Bluetooth on drain my battery too fast? | I'm thinking about making an app which will require Bluetooth to be available at all times. However, if this reduces battery charge life significantly, then that's kind of a show stopper. Can anyone give me a general idea about how much drain constant Bluetooth use will put on the battery? |
27722 | ICS Photo editor weird behavior | I have just installed CyanogenMod and, while testing the Gallery and Photo editor apps, have noticed a very strange behavior. Whenever I try to apply some effects such as Lomo, Documentary among others, the Photo editor applies the effect only to a circle in the center of the image. The problem happens with any image from my gallery, no matter the resolution or the camera (back or front camera). I have already rebooted the system, and have tried to "clear data" of the app. I have searched all the possible configurations and could not find anything related to this problem. (The funny thing is that I tried an app called Photo Editor ICS, which is a clone of the original Photo Editor, and it worked fine. But I don't mean to keep using it, I expect that the original app works)  |

59367 | Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 doesn't recognize double-clicks | I wanted to buy a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 to demonstrate a web application I wrote, but the one on display was not able to sense a double-click (double-tap?). The salesman said it only had a mobile browser, which didn't know about double- clicks. Isn't there a way to put these machines into a mode that recognizes normal desktop-type input, like left-click double-click, right-click? Thanks. |

35117 | How to make use of the entire screen area on Android 4.1 in full-screen mode? | The system bar (aka notification bar) on my new tablet (ASUS Transformer Pad) is always visible, even when watching YouTube "full-screen".

78802 | How can I copy a NFC badge to my (rooted) Android phone for Daily Usage | For the Cafeteria a school we have NFC badges with which we pay meals or drinks. I was wondering how is it possible to have the card on my phone? I lost it 5 times last year. I've tried to copy the data on the card this didn't work so I possibly need to emulate the card on the phone. Like i said it would be usefull to use it in such way and gives me something to brag about to my non geeky friends. B-) My phone is rooted, Xposed Framework is installed (when this helps) I have Android 4.1.2 on My Xperia P it's stock. Thanks in Advance |
78800 | ACRA init crashing after new rom flash | I recently flashed CM11 on my GS2, it was slimkat 4.4.2 earlier. I believe I did a dirty flash because all my apps and settings were present when I booted it. I used the "recommended" wipe on TWRP. Some apps gave issues (particularly settings > developer) but wiping app data fixed that. However some apps, watchdog lite in particular is having crashes before it starts (everytime). From logcat, this looks to be due to ACRA init. Clear app data or even app reinstall doesnt fix it. Anyone have any idea? The lowest exception I see is E/ACRA (10931): Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException E/ACRA (10931): at org.acra.ConfigurationInspector.toString(ConfigurationInspector.java:129) E/ACRA (10931): at org.acra.ErrorReporter.init(ErrorReporter.java:363) E/ACRA (10931): at org.acra.ACRA.initAcra(ACRA.java:297) E/ACRA (10931): at org.acra.ACRA.init(ACRA.java:238) E/ACRA (10931): at com.zomut.watchdog.library.WatchdogApp.onCreate(WatchdogApp.java:31) E/ACRA (10931): at android.app.Instrumentation.callApplicationOnCreate(Instrumentation.java:1007) E/ACRA (10931): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleBindApplication(ActivityThread.java:4468) This is for both Watchdog and Travel pocket, the other app that crashes. Any idea if I need to clear files on the SD card or something? Is this the right forum for it? Or Superuser? or SO? |
78806 | HTC Desire X doesn't come up after software upgrade | _I want to apologize in advance if this isn't the proper forum for my question; it might be a hardware problem._ I got a message on my HTC Desire X that a software upgrade was available. (IIRC I was on 4.1) I checked if there was enough juice in the battery, enabled WiFi, and downloaded the upgrade. But when I clicked "install" the display simply went black, and the device hasn't given any signs of life since. **What I tried** 1\. Remove and re-insert the battery 2\. Recharge the battery. This shouldn't have been necessary, since it had enough power, like I said. But strangely, even after 24h of charging the power LED remains orange 3\. Factory reset: volume down + power button The battery thing bugs me. It was a good battery (normal charging times) and now it doesn't work anymore. Does the charger rely in the CPU? For instance, if the upgrade really went bad and the CPU doesn't work properly, what about charging. _IF_ the upgrade didn't succeed, is there a way to get the device working again? |
55465 | how to only get one alert until i read gmail | I have my gmail app set to "sound on, notify once", and "notify for every message" unchecked. I also have all my inbox categories unchecked so I get all my emails in one inbox. Most of the time, I get only one notification until I open the app (as I would expect). However, sometimes I get another notification for new mail before I've looked at previous emails. Why am I getting these extra notifications? I'm running android 4.1.2, gmail 4.5.2-714156, on an LG Spectrum 2. |

We're working on fixing the > issue. Please try again later. [BM-PPH-01] I've been trying to get this fixed for almost two months. Android support directed me to the app developer's support, who in turn directed me back to Android.

There are many articles like using `ODIN...`.Is that safe or is there any other official way to update that(like google)? |
55466 | Audio problems with my Vizio Tablet | I have the 8 inch Vizio tablet Model VTAB1008. The audio stops working out of no where. Even if I plug the headphones in, it doesn't work. Usually when I completely turn it off, and then turn it back on again, the audio will work for a while, but then it will eventually stop working again. The apps I use are just facebook, twitter, youtube, or instagram. No game apps or anything. I've tried reformatting it, putting it back to default settings, didn't work. I've also tried SoundAbout, didn't work either. The customer service guy told me to kill my apps before going to another app, saying sometimes one app doesn't give permission for another app to play sound, so I have done that using the Advanced Task killer, but no solution. Anyone know what could be wrong? Thanks for the help. |
55463 | Android Unknown Memory Usage | I have been having a problem with my Android 2.3.3 Samsung Galaxy S, that it was shutting 2 essential applications down: messaging app and call protocol. I have been tracing the cause of that by looking phone logs with SDK in eclipse. I have spotted this error: I/ActivityManager(524): Low Memory: No more background processes. So I assume this is the reason for the crash... eitherway I want to understand, why I do not have enough memory. I do not have many apps running in the background and I am very careful with what I am installing. I have looked at the memory allocation in eclipse DDMS view and there were: 217 MB (75 %) was unknown, 8 MB (3 %) free 1 MB (0 %) buffers 35 MB (12 %) inactive 14 MB (5 %) slab 12 MB (4 %) page tables. Of course now I want to know what that unknown place means. Because if I force close some system services or app services I can only reduce unknown allocation down to 55 - 60 %. How can I find out what this unknown memory usage is? |

8475 | Mail client account colors | In the mail client of my Galaxy Tab I have three accounts. In the view "all mailboxes" there is a little line on the left for marking which mail comes from which account. These colors seem to be defined randomly when creating the account. I can't find the setting where I can change these colors. The last thing I want to do is to delete and create a new account. The problem is two of the colors are nearly the same. My Galaxy Tab is rooted but I found nothing in the table "emailProvider.db". How can I fix this? |

I've tried reinstalling many times via the market and by downloading the recent .apk from whatsapp website. I stil cant get the validation to work on both programs.

22524 | Why would /mnt/sdcard/ not appear? | Using ADB shell to view my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7+, I see a /mnt but no /mnt/sdcard/ where according to fable the photos taken by the camera should reside. Why would the sdcard directory not be there? Does the Tab need to be in some special mode or adb need some special incantation? I'm doing this from an Ubuntu 11.something Linux machine. UPDATE: got a new clue. Normally adb works only when the tablet is off, but has USB plugged in. When I hold down the power button, the tablet starts up. First there's a Samsung logo. Eventually the splashy orange screen with the lock-circle thing appears. During the Samsung logo phase, adb shell will show stuff in /mnt, including the lusted-for /mnt/sdcard. But as soon as the orange lock screen appears (maybe slight sooner) adb is booted out, suddenly exiting to the xterm command line, and adb devices shows question marks instead of the device number. So maybe all I need to do is find a way to make the tablet stay in Samsung- logo mode indefinitely, long enough for me to do my transfer. |
22525 | Is there an app like ROM-control for non-AOKP roms? | I found ROM-control very useful in ICS. But it can only work on AOKP roms. So is there an app can do the same job on ROMs other than AOKP? |
22523 | Display turns on at midnight? | Every day at midnight the display on my tablet (Asus Transforer TF101 ICS) turns on for a few seconds. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be a big deal, but I am using the Screebl application, which keeps the tablet awake when it's vertical. Thus, the device turns on in my bag and then never goes to sleep, draining the battery. Is there a way to find out what application (or system component) is waking the device up at midnight, and how does one stop this behavior? |
26456 | What is the difference between the email app and the gmail app? | I know the Email app can fetch multiple accounts at same time, but apart from that are there any other major differences?

I keep receiving chat notification both on my phone and my computer and it's really annoying. I do not want to uninstall/deactivate it because I still want to be able to use it while I'm on the road. |

26189 | How can I customize what notifications show up on my notifications bar (RAZR MAXX running ICS)? | I want to customize what I see in the notifications bar/shade. (eg.

3494 | What's the difference between the various lost phone apps? | I want to get a security app for my phone. I mostly need something in case my phone gets lost or stolen. Researching this I have found several apps: * iTag * WaveSecure * LookOut I am sure there are more out there too. My question is why would I choose one of these over the others. How do they differ? Does anyone have experience with wiping or finding a lost phone using one of these devices? Thanks! |
3493 | How can I know which apps are currently connecting to the Internet? | I have a Samsung Spica running Eclair (rooted). I've noticed on a number of occasions that inspite of the Autosync option **turned off** , the sync icon appears in the notification bar. By default, Gmail, Calendar & Contacts are set to sync whenever the Autosync option is turned on. I don't use any scheduler app like Locale or Tasker. Is there an app or some way to see which app is connecting to the Internet at any given time? Or can someone verify if this sort of behaviour of the sync icon appearing is normal? |
3490 | How to prevent VZW drive from mounting when I connect my HTC Incredible to USB | Since the Froyo upgrade, when I connect my HTC Incredible, with the USB settings set to "Charge Only" to my computer with a USB cable, the phone still mounts a CD type drive that will install HTC Sync drivers. This prevents my phone from using the SD card. How can I stop this from happening? Like I said, my phone is set to "Charge Only". |
2096 | Maximum (micro) SD card speed class for HTC EVO? | What is the maximum class (e.g., 2,4,6,8,10) supported of microSD card supported by the HTC EVO? I noticed an improvement in performance when upgrading from the Class 2 to a faster card on my Hero. I don't want to pay extra for performance that won't benefit my EVO. HTC and Sprint have not included this information in their specs and I can't find it elsewhere. Either I'm not understading something fundamental about SD classes or it's not published where I'm searching. |
2098 | Why can't I get past CAPTCHA after changing Google Account password? | I changed my Google Account password, and now there's a notification about trouble logging into my Gmail account on my Samsung Galaxy S. That's fine, I'd expect that. What I don't expect is a pop-up box containing a CAPTCHA, that I cannot get past. I'm sure I got at least one of them right (despite the auto-caps for start of words tripping me up a few times). It just keeps popping up with another CAPTCHA. What's going on? |

24968 | Chrome crashes on Acer Iconia A200 | I'm seeing problems identical to this issue, where Chrome either crashes, becomes unresponsive, or the screen goes black if I switch between tabs. Logcat shows: > OpenGLRenderer is out of memory According to the Chromium issue, this stems from bugs in the Tegra video drivers. For the Asus Transformer, it was fixed by a system update. (I'm running the most recent ICS update on my Iconia Tab.) Is there anything I can do to get Chrome working reliably on the A200, and is there any hope of Acer fixing their software? |
24969 | How do I make my device dial my phone via Bluetooth? | I have a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 and a Samsung Chrono. I want to be able to be able to call someone using the Galaxy Player through my phone so that I can have the contacts on my Galaxy Player and not on my phone. Using SIP/VoIP is not an option; I don't have a data plan on my phone. So I would like to do this via Bluetooth if possible. In fact, if it means that I'll have to use the phone to talk, that's fine too. |
35702 | How can I monitor and log data connection mode and rate, and log with location? | I would like to understand what connection type and theoretical data rate my phone is using for its data connection, and how it changes with different locations. I'm not looking for an actual data speed test like speedtest.net, but rather a logging of the type of data connection (GPRS, HSDPA, HSDPA+) and the specific modulation and UE Categories (see the table for User Equipment (UE) categories in this article). This information should be available from the phone's radio, without actually sending additional data through the network. I would like to have this information logged, along with a rough location, maybe as a background process (which would only run when a data connection is active so it would not drain the battery). |

20933 | What is the synchronization source for the internal clock | Using a tool to compare the internal clock of my Android device to internet time servers, I noticed my device is 30 seconds wrong. So that made me wondering what is the cause of this error. Where does Android gets it time from, so I can adjust or complain there: I can think of the following sources: * Provided by the cellular network provider. * From GPS. * From a NTP server on the local WIFI network. * A global NTP server (hosted by Google)? |
20932 | Upload my own videos to Google Play? | Is it possible to sync my own video with Google Play Video (like in Google Play Music)? I know that it's not possible on Google Books, I am wondering how about videos. What will be a good alternative for syncing videos? |
20930 | my phone hit a pavement and 3g/4g stopped working. next step? | As I was cycling, my htc rezound fell on the pavement. The battery popped out. There are few scratches but no visible damage. I start the phone and it's fine as long as I don't use data. Once I use data, the phone uses "1" may be it's ev-do. speedtest shows 129 kbps down rate. I tried flashing and installing a leaked ICS. that didn't solve the problem. I would think that the damage was because of the physical shock of hitting the ground (nothing broke). so is there a way to diagnose it? to check if 4g is still working? |

37289 | Finding my Google email and password. I've made too many accounts | I really need help because I just got this tablet for Christmas and only had it for 2 weeks. I wanted to set the security on facelock, so I didn't have to remember the password. Instead, I set it to a pattern and I forgot that I had to use my email if I got it wrong, which I did. I can't remember my emails or passwords. I made too many email accounts, and the passwords were very similar to each other. I really want this thing to work. I went through my mind trying to remember the emails and their passwords. As you can see, I have failed. Please help me. I'm only 12. |
57642 | Soft Keys stopped working after KitKat upgrade | My wife tried to update to 4.4 via the OTA and the phone got stuck in the bootloop mentioned here and here. I downloaded the factory images and did the flash-all.sh fastboot without the -w flag and the system updated, restarted fine and updated all the apps. However, just like this users mentions in this comment here. I have all the same issues. The middle "home button" soft key isnt working. The pull down notifications draw is empty and the settings icon in the top right doesnt respond, and holding down the power button only shows "Power off" not the full list of menu items for volume/vibrate/silence like normal. Any ideas on how to restore this or is a full wipe and restore required? I phone seems to "recognize" the tap event. The home icon lights up like normal and returns the haptic feedback and "click" noise, but the OS does nothing in response. |

58803 | How do I get my Dell Venue 8 to show up in the adb devices list? | I got a Dell Venue 8 that I'm trying to connect to my Windows computer for debugging over adb, see the logs, etc. I had a nexus 7 and don;t have major issues with it, the Adb works fine with it. When I plug in the tablet and run adb devices in Windows I see the autoplay page opens, the android says usb debugging connected. I change to media device or camera and it is the same. The tablet is running stock Android 4.2.2. USB debugging is enabled. The computer is running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64. I have the latest adb version, 1.0.31. Other strange thing that happens is that I am not getting the RSA fingerprint dialog. I really don;t know what else to do. I will appreciate any idea If I plug the tablet in to my Macbook Pro and ru |
58804 | Mobile Lost and some one else is using the mobile with a different sim | I need help to track the person who has my mobile. My account(email) is still linked with google play on that mobile.

Or Erase SD memory card from browse. |
58808 | Is there a way to switch Android users from the command line? | Using the following command, I managed to enable multi-user mode in an Android device that doesn't officicially support it: `adb shell setprop fw.max_users 4`. For good measure I also added the following entry to the build.prop file: fw.max_users=5 There's now a Settings menu for creating additional users in my device. Upon creating a new user, I would be switched to the multi-user lock screen with icons at the bottom showing the user accounts available in the device. From there I can choose my user log-in. Moreover, the account data of the new user survives a reboot. From this, I can conclude that multi-user mode is working. The problem is my Android device, a media player running some version of Jellybean 4.2, normally doesn't display the lock screen. No lock screen appears when I start up the device nor after I suspend or put the device to sleep. In fact, the only time I see the lock screen is immediately after creating a new user. Once I've logged in as the new user, I can't switch back to the lock screen because the device is configured to show only the bottom panel and therefore I have no way to click the User icon in the Quick Settings menu of the missing top panel. It seems a bit overkill to do some low-level system hacks just to achieve the desktop Linux equivalent of Control-Alt-F8, etc. Is there a command, perhaps using some intent or activity available via the Android activity manager tool (am) that would allow me to switch between different user log-ins or at least to switch to the lock screen that would allow me to log in as a different user? |
58809 | Kitkat 4.4.2 and Play music: won't find files | I have a nexus 4 and I have been using the music downloader called _music maniac_. Just recently updated to kitkat 4.4.2 and now when I download music the play music app won't find it in my phone. I can find the file when I look it up in the storage settings, but when I plug it into my computer I look in the same place and it's not there. Anyway I don't know how to make it read the file I guess. |

30179 | How to keep phone powered down while charging with ClockworkMod Touch Recovery? | In the course of setting up CyanogenMod 7.2 on my T-Mobile G2 (also known as the HTC Desire Z), I installed ClockworkMod Touch Recovery. My usual practice before that was to power off my phone and plug it in to a USB cable, attached to a wall socket, for recharging. However, with ClockworkMod Touch, trying to do this results in the phone always booting to the recovery mode, whether I plug in the cable before or after shutting off the phone. This is a nuisance; in effect, I have to leave my phone powered on at all times, and turn off the sound when I'm sleeping. I suppose I could just leave it at the Recovery menu, but leaving the phone at a menu where two accidental touches to the screen could wipe the phone seems like a bad idea. If I recall correctly, I initially had an earlier version of ClockworkMod Recovery installed, which had a menu option for powering off the phone. I only had that version installed briefly. |
30176 | Samsung Galaxy S3 Wi-Fi problems | My Samsung Galaxy S3 has major Wi-Fi problems. It will connect to Wi-Fi for a few seconds, then it quits and won't connect to anything. It happens at home, work, or anywhere else with Wi-Fi. It's not the router. My laptop and other phone works fine with it. If I turn off the Wi-Fi and then turn it back on again, it will work for a little while, but then, nothing, no connection to anything. I've researched the problem for days and seems like a lot of people are dealing with the same thing. There are some supposed 'quick fixes' but none work for me. (dialing *#0011# on the phone to turn off power save mode, downloading a Wi-Fi Fixer app, doing a factory reset, trying to set a static IP - phone won't let me, and everything else, NOTHING WORKS!). Is this a problem with the phone or the software? Do I need to exchange the phone for a different one? I even called Samsung and they claimed that no one else has ever reported a problem with this, even though there are hundred and hundreds of posts online about the issue. Is Samsung doing anything about this or should I just give up and get a different phone all together? By the way, it always says that I am connected to Wi-Fi. It just doesn't actually work. I've read about having to set the router to G or N but I have no idea what the means or how to do it? And besides, why should I have to do that? Shouldn't the phone's wi-fi just work? And how would I do this G or N setting at work? Not gonna happen, so I'd be outta luck there. So frustrating!! |
15632 | Wifi sleep policy not working | I tried some stuff I found about sleep policy. I obviously tried setting it to **Never** , I tried the **Wi-Fi keep alive** app, it doesn't seem to work. When I let the phone lie for a few minutes and then wake it, the wifi icon is grey and i cannot connect to anything right away, I have to wait till it turns green. This also messes up my GTalk, plenty of times i found out someone wrote to me only by manually opening the Talk app and waiting for it to sync (there was the red _unconnected_ line at the bottom). How do I fix this? I have Nexus S, if that helps. Thank you |
15633 | Nook Color with CyanogenMod7 is not visible via ADB over USB | I recently bought a Nook Color. My intentions from day 1 was to install CyanogenMod7 on the device to get a full Android experience. That process worked just fine, and the device is now running CM7. I am running CM7 installed directly on the device, not from an sdcard. I access my devices a lot via command line using `adb`, but with the nook color, I am unable to get `adb` to see the device. I have Windows 7 64-bit, I used the USB drivers, and "fix script" from here and USB Debugging is enabled. If I mount the device to windows I am able to access the sdcard on the device. But no matter what I do, I cannot get `adb` to see the device. |
15635 | Multiple Music Libraries? | I keep a large number of spoken word lectures on my device, as well as my music. This makes it difficult to select ONLY one or the other. Are there any players that will allow me to easily switch back and forth between a "music" library and a "Lectures" library? LG P500 (Optimus One) CM7.1.0 Winamp or PlayerPro or Music (or whatever else will work) |
30171 | Does Bluetooth tethering not work, or am I doing it wrong? | I carry two Android devices: my Nexus S phone, and a Nexus 7 tablet (both running Android 4.1 "Jellybean"). The tablet has Wi-Fi, but no cellular radio; so in order to use the Internet with it when there's no Wi-Fi hotspot nearby, I have the phone set up for Wi-Fi tethering: it effectively becomes a Wi-Fi hotspot, and the tablet uses that for Internet access. This works perfectly. However, I recently discovered what appears to be an alternate method of tethering: Bluetooth. Both devices have menu options that seem to allow it; here's screenshots of how I configured both devices:   Options on Phone and Tablet (click images for larger variants) I tested this by turning Wi-Fi off on both devices, then opening the browser on the tablet and refreshing the page that happened to be loaded. I saw a message that said Unable to connect to the Internet I was, of course, hoping to see the page reload. It's a shame that I cannot get this to work, because it promises one advantage over Wi-Fi tethering: easier security. I want to prevent other people from stealing my bandwidth; with Wi-Fi, this requires that I set up a WPA password, and then get that password onto the tablet somehow (which is quite tedious). But with Bluetooth, all that's required is that I "pair" the devices, which I've already done. So I am wondering if I'm doing something wrong, or if this feature simply doesn't work. |
9007 | How to disable secure credentials password? | On DesireZ running android 2.2 I've run into a rather annoying problem. The phone forces me to make a credentials password for WIFI, and then I have to enter it before the phone will connect to a secured wifi network. I don't care about the security of my wifi passwords being compromised in the event of my phone being stolen, so I would like to disable this annoyance. I cannot find any setting or way of doing this, however. Is it possible? Or is there an app which can remember and automatically enter the password on boot- up? Thanks. [edit]I can uncheck the "use secure credentials" option, but that simply prevents me from connecting to any wifi connection which requires a password. Attempting to enter a password for the wifi connection first prompts me for a new secure credentials password...[/edit] The minimum password length is 8, so it won't let me leave it blank. |
9006 | Bricked Moto Defy | I have bricked my Motorola Defy. I have tried flashing a new ROM using RSD Lite (following this guide). It says 'complete' but my phone will not turn on. Sometimes it will just show the Moto boot logo but never fully boot up. I can only open the boot menu. The ROMs I have tried flashing can be found here (All UK 2.1 at the top of the page). Does anyone have any ideas? **EDIT** I have looked at the answer here but the recommended ROM was not compatible with my handset. Does anyone know which ROM to use for my defy (here)? |
9003 | Do Android 3.0 tablets have standby/hibernate mode? | I am considering an Acer Iconia A500 device as a book reader. Having years of experience with using (and programming) different devices (PDAs, smartphones, tablet PC, book readers), I am used to charge the reading device (whichever I use) only once in a week or so. When I don't read, I hope to have it in sleeping mode consuming only minimal energy (as it's a bookreader, I don't need it running any background apps or hanging on the net). So the question is - do Honeycomb devices have a true standby mode which can keep the battery for a week or so (and let the device power on in less than 10 seconds), and not just "sleep" mode we see in Android 2.2 smartphones? Update: got myself the above mentioned device. It holds power for about a week when not used, so I guess this is close to what I would like to have with sleep mode. |
24036 | Is there a way to use an Android tablet as a wifi handsfree device? | My situation: * Android (4.0.3) tab hooked up to my car stereo using the headphones connector. * Android (2.3.5) phone (HTC Desire HD), which I use to call, text, browse, etc. Since my car stereo's Bluetooth device died I thought I could use the Android tab as a audio relay device. Problem is: the tab has no Bluetooth. It has wifi though. Is there any way to use an Android device as a handsfree adapter over wifi? Some kind of wifi relay between the phone and the tablet, perhaps? |
37235 | is it possible to have the gps location while offline with the nexus 7? | This is a mystery to me, I know that WiFi and GPS use different chips to work, but it seems I can't use the GPS location when there's no Internet access. I already tried to clear the cache, disable/enable it, reinstall it. I just want to use my nexus 7 as a GPS while I'm out, thought that I already downloaded Google maps offline data. Is it supposed to work while offline or not? Is it a real GPS? |
