46355 | Kindle Fire HD 8.9 stuck in boot logo after root | After rooting my KFHD, which was successful, I rebooted into TWRP. The screen went off after a while and did not respond to any buttons, so I hard reset it. Since then, KFHD has been stuck on boot screen (orange, not blue). ADB is offline, fastboot won't find the KFHD, anyone knows what is going on? **EDIT** : I have noticed that Lab126 (KFHD 8.9) device shows up soon after I push the power button, but only for about 3 seconds. ADB and Fastboot still don't work during that period. |
49127 | Flashing new rom, are old files deleted or hidden? | I'm not sure whether I'm doing something wrong or it's something normal. I had CM9 on my Galaxy s3 and decided to try another rom (Paranoid). I didn't like the new one I installed and downloaded another (Carbon). But I am noticing that my internal storage is close to being full now. But when I browse the phone from my PC, I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary. I copied Carbon zip onto the phone, but clockwork mod is not even seeing it, I am noticing a lot of files from the sd and I'm still seeing the Paranoid zip from clockwork mod, but I cannot see it from my PC. Did I skip a step somewhere? What should I do? |
46358 | How to enable SD MSC mount in Jelly Bean? | Since upgrading to CyanogenMod 10, the dropdown notification when I connect my phone to the computer no longer appears. How do I mount the SD card via USB MSC in Jelly Bean? Note that the drive still appears to the computer, just empty. My phone is an Xperia Arc S. Update: I see no mass storage mode under USB connection settings:  Settings screen (click image to enlarge) |
49122 | What to do if Galaxy S2 firmware upgrade failed and the phone is not working at all? | I was upgrading my Galaxy S2 from Gingerbread 2.2.3 to Jelly Bean 4.1.2. In the middle of the process the USB cable just got disconnected and I only see a picture of mobile connected to a PC and a warning symbol in the center. I have tried hard-resetting it but its not working. |

81062 | Pictures are missing in Internal memory in Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 | _Tab Model - Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P3100, Android version - 4.1.1_ Files in the DCIM folder both Pictures & Videos are missing in the internal memory. I'm sure that I haven't deleted them. I tried below options, but no positive results: 1. Tried connected to my Windows 7 PC, but its detected as Portable Media Device (as MTP mode) and not able to trace the files with the file recovery software as they detect only logical drives. 2. Tried with Wondershare Android data recovery software (Trial Pack), but still I didn't find even a single deleted Picture/Video file in it. 3. In order to convert to USB mass storage mode (this option is missing in android 4.1.1 by default), as recommended in few sites, I've rooted my tab, downloaded the terminal app and changed the config file but no use. Windows 7 failed to detect the tab as USB mass storage device. I don't want to lose my pictures & videos. How can I retrieve my files? |
81064 | What can I do about apps disappearing with Link2SD and FolderMount? | I have been using Link2SdPlus and FolderMount Pro for a few weeks, with no problem with folder mount (awesome). But Link2sd Plus makes some of my APKs disabled. I mean: in appdrawer it shows, but in `Settings > Apps` it doesn't. For example, suppose my APK is Instagram and I try to re-link the APK or lib files. Nothing happens. And when I go to "clean 2nd partition" it shows Instagram files. That means files are still in the 2nd partition. Maybe something happened in linking, but I don't know what. The only option I can see is to clean 2nd partition then reinstall from Google Play. This happens to me every day. Sometimes with WhatsApp or another app. (I removed link from main APK: WhatsApp, ES file Explorer, etc.) |
81065 | Galaxy XCover2 keeps shutting down(and occationally restarting) on standby | My Galaxy Xcover2 keeps shutting down when on standby and sometimes - though rarely - when in use. Before this started to happen my phone complained of some sort of filesystem corruption on the SD card. After formatting the SD card I started having problems with it shutting down on standby. It reboots occationally, but it's not that common. I have to manually restart the phone and it asks for PIN-code every time. I checked for all possible updates, RAM- memory usage, phone's memory usage, but nothing's working. |

57163 | My WIFI doesn't work | I have a Samsung Galaxy Stellar from Verizon. It's unrooted. I can connect to a Wi-Fi network (input the network security key, etc). However, I can't use the network. I've tried it over three different networks and none of them worked. I've also done a factory reset still it doesn't work. It worked just fine until a few days ago. This is my wifi screen:  And this is my notification bar, where it says it's connected:  |
57161 | Prs t2 not recognized in pc | I tried to root my Sony PRS-T2 using this guide (which is in Spanish). I tried installing `rupor-enable-asec`, and the command prompt said it was successful. I restarted as I was asked to do – but then something when wrong: my PRS-T2 didn't load after the opening book screen. The arrows rotated endlessly; I waited for about 3 hours and nothing else happened. I restarted again, and still nothing. Then I went online to find a solution. I followed the same guide as in the bottom, there is a solutions section. Then I used the recovery set at the end. I copied in the sd the os firmware folder. I restarted it and keep the home and back button pressed. Then it updated with the recovery I suppose, then it started and was fine, the format of the buttons changed and the menu was different but the most problematic thing was that I could no longer connect by USB to any computer. I tried severals with different OS (Windows XP,7,8): it is not the cable it seems like it does not recognize computer USB ports, as I charged it on the wall using an adapter but on PC it does not charge and the screen asking to be recognize does not appear either if I turn it off and connect the USB, the readers turns on automatically as it is supposed to do. **tl,dr:** The reader is not recognizing USB connections and is not sending out the recognition screen as a result I can transfer files from it. |
57167 | HTC Rhyme keeps shutting down full cache on start | I have an HTC Rhyme, that has been working fine until I updated to the latest version of watsapp. After the update, my phone suddenly switches off like it ran out of battery. Furthermore upon starting, the phone seems to have loaded a host of apps I hardly ever use. The apps show up in task manager>Advanced>Running Apps. As well as the cache. This used to not happen before. I'm not sure if it's really the watsapp update or something else that may have caused it. However the shut-down happens only when my internet is "on" and Im using watsapp. I tried shutting down watsapp and leaving the network "on". Problem solved. I try putting the internet off and then get into watsapp, still problem solved. So basically the problem seems to occur only when the network is turned on with watsapp running. Strangly the problem seems to persists even in safe-mode, which leaves me baffled. I'm on my way to hard reseting the phone, but would like to know if there's an alternative that I could use. I'm using ginger-bread 2.3.5. |

57165 | Switching app with physical keyboard, with one click "alt + tab" | I love android's exensive support for keyboard, even "app switching" works almost exactly as in Windows/Mac OS/Some graphical Linux disitros. When you click "alt+tab" it shows:  But what bothers me is that after you click "alt + tab" this window shows "actual app I used before" so you need to click "Alt + tab, and then keeping alt pressed again tab" So those are 3 cliks instead of 2. Is it customiazable ? Maybe I'm able change this behaviour? Thanks in advance. |
43651 | If you root a phone can you still get the upgrades to to the O/S? | If I root my Motorola Droid Razr M, can I still get O/S upgrades? If so, will they just happen automatically? Or do I need to install them (and if so where might I find instructions for that) ? |
43650 | If I root a Droid ( Razr M) does it get factory reset (erasing all installed apps, etc.)? | I'm considering rooting my Razr M. If I do that but don't install an alternate ROM, will this erase anything on my phone or simply "unlock it"? |
57168 | How to debug "wlan_wake kernel wakelock" on an unrooted device? | The question is as short as the title. I've a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 & it has started showing issues where the CPU remains in lowest possible frequency (250Mhz) and it doesn't go to deep sleep. I tried uninstalling all the apps that I installed in last 2 days but I can still see the issues. Searching on google isn't helping either. Most of the posts that get in search results are the posts where people paste the betterbatterstats output. On the official wiki, https://github.com/asksven/BetterBatteryStats-Knowledge- Base/wiki/wlan_wake , it's mentioned that a sniffer should be used to debug. I saw that most of the sniffers actually require root. So, how do I debug this wakelock without rooting my phone? |

17075 | Phone will not vibrate for incoming text messages | No matter what I do, I can't get my phone to vibrate for text messages anymore. I am running Cyanogenmod 7.1.0. It vibrates for phone calls and for haptic feedback, so there's obviously nothing wrong with the hardware or notifications in general. * Settings → Sound → Vibrate: Always * Stock messaging app → Settings → Notification settings → Vibrate: Also vibrate when notified, Always, and Vibrate Pattern: Multiple short (which used to work) I don't get it. |
17076 | My Droid phone won't sync my email subfolders automatically | In order to read or even know I have emails in my Outlook subfolders, I have to open each subfolder individually and allow it to sync.

17077 | Is there a widget available that duplicates the Launcher Pro Calendar Agenda widget? | Here's what I'm talking about:  I want a widget that shows me an agenda of my Google calendar just like this.

52600 | How can I transfer my all contacts from old HTC Wildfifre android 2.1 to LG Optimus Vu | I just want to transfer all contacts from old HTC Wildfire with android version 2.1 to new LG Optimus Vu with android version 4.0. I have used different apps but still I am unable to transfer contacts and an unexpected error occures. Another issue is that I can't move contacts to SD card because LG Optimus Vu does not supports SD card. Please recommend a simple and easy way or an app which is helpful to transfer contacts to the new LG optimus Vu from HTC Wildfire. |
17072 | Does rooting Kindle Fire disable your default Kindle Fire functionality? | I am thinking on getting a Kindle Fire due to the good reviews and the price tag. I see that there are a lot of links showing you how to root your Kindle Fire so that you can have regular Android OS and be able to benefit from the Android Market. My objective is to be able to **have both worlds running side by side**. I was planning following these tutorials: http://www.gizmowatch.com/install-android-sdk-root-kindle-fire.html http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-the-amazon-kindle-fire-36015/ ## My questions are as follows: 1. If I root Kindle Fire, do I lose all the functionality that the Fire was designed to do? 2. If I root Kindle Fire, do I lose access to the Amazon Appstore? 3. Will following this instructions above leave me in a situation where I cannot revert back to the original functionality? 4. Does anybody know if the Fire will be upgradable to ICS (Android 4.0)? 5. Why is Kindle Fire running a 2.3 version of Android rather than the latest Honeycomb? |

60771 | Does anyone sell new smartphones with root access "preinstalled"? | Is there a company that sells new phones with root access enabled? Maybe a manufacturer, retailer or any other business... of course if the retailer roots the phone it might viod the manufacturer's warranty but for instance I as a customer would not mind this because I would want to root the phone anyways. |
60776 | My "Avast: Mobile" security is giving me massive warnings about Trojans such as: "Android:SMSSend-DC[trj]" | I got these warnings on my Samsung phone by the "Avast: Mobile" Security application about having malware (mostly trojans). So I scanned my phone and Avast said that i had over 50 applications infected with at least 20 malwares each. Is this a malware of some sort that hit all my applications? Or just hit Avast? I downloaded Malwarebytes mobile app to search for the viruses, and found nothing. What should I do? |
9699 | Unlocking Nexus One without pressing the power button | The power button on my Nexus One doesnt work smoothly any more, sometimes taking nearly half a dozen attempts before the unlock screen appears on the phone.

62736 | Screen size off after porting ROM to my phone. How can I fix X and Y values of the screen? | I am trying to port JB 4.1.2 to my phone using a kernel from another phone of the same spec as mine. I have 98% of things working but the screen is probably the most troublesome. CPU MT6577 Android version 4.0.4 ICS Phones Display is an LG 720x1280 but not sure exactly which one. The Screen driver is contained in the kernel and I wondered if there is anyway to make adjustments to center the screen either during the boot process with added commands in the init.rc or via adb and even after boot as completed with any kind of apk. I have tried adjusting the screen with am and wm commands via adb which work but it is all contained within the frame. If that makes sense. What I think I need to do is adjust the x & y values to shift the entire frame. Please see the image and all will be clear lol. Please bear in mind my level is Noob so if this requires kernel decompile and rebuild then its a none starter and there are no sources for my phone anyhow :(  full size image here |

Every once in a while I get a notice that these synced photos are ready to share. I've looked in drive and don't see them, I've looked on plus and only see the ones I've said it's ok to share, but it's syncing them somewhere online which in the case of these particular articles is illegal no mater how "Secure" this may be. So where the heck are these going? |
62733 | Smart e Machine tablet stuck on "Boot into recovery..." screen | So I finally got my first android tablet, some cheap brand "Smart e Machine". It has android 4.0 on it. They just barely have a website and no type of support pages or anything, and apparently the phone number listed is for the company that designed their web page. But anyways, It was working fine, but I decided to do a factory reset anyhow. Then it rebooted and got stuck on a "Boot Into Recovery..." screen. Let it sit for a long time, and still nothing. I can power it off and on again, but it does the same thing. If I try to boot into recovery manually by pressing the vol up and down and power buttons it asks me if I want to boot into recovery and to long press power to do so. I do that and it freezes on the same screen. Even if I do that but then don't long press power to confirm I want recovery mode, it still freezes on the same screen. It does have a pinhole reset button, and pressing it seems to just reboot the machine. Tried holding it down for a while, and tried holding it along with the power button, but it doesn't do anything different. It has a usb port, but it looks kind of round. A usb mini cord fits in just fine, but I get no response from my computer and the charge light doesn't come on either. I'm not sure if it can charge through usb, it came with a standard power adapter and no usb. I'm also not sure if it just isn't booting into a mode where it can connect to a computer yet. I have not been able to get the back cover off to try and pull the battery, I need to get a new screwdriver so I'm going to try that tonight. I cannot get into the recovery menu. If anyone has any ideas or has encountered something like this before I would love any advice. Thanks |
62731 | Transferring videos from Android to iOS Camera Roll | Trying to find the easiest method of getting home videos (up to 3 minutes long) taken on my Nexus 5 (Android) phone and sending it over the internet to the family to save to their iOS (iPhone/iPad) camera roll. Needs to be quite idiot proof on the receiving end (for the family) Ideally it will compress the video so it doesnt take up too much space as well. I tried uploading from my Nexus to Dropbox then sending a dropbox link via email so they can open in their Mail app however it will not let you save the video to the camera only view it in Safari. |
58383 | Permission denied when trying to mount USB storage | I'm trying to mount USB storage using the "Terminal Emulator" app with the following commands: `mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/sd* /storage/usb1` or `su mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/sd* /storage/usb1` But I get a `permission denied` message. I've tried different su binaries. One of them is: http://e2e.ti.com/support/embedded/android/f/509/t/279726.aspx The shell command which I'm using is working in adb, but I have to execute it within an app. Without permissions, I cannot do that. So: 1. Is it possible to root this Android image (I'm using TI release for Beaglebone Black)? 2. OR, can I give permissions using chmod? If I can, which files should I give permission? 3. OR, is my approach wrong? |

20567 | HTC G2 crashes, comes back on falsely saying battery level is 0% | Recently my G2 has started dying whenever I use it for more than 5 consecutive minutes. When I reboot it I need to plug into a power source or it will not reboot and it reports that I have 0% battery even though I actually may have 95% or more. Removing the battery does not help - only a 5-minute wait period - could it be some overheating issue? It does not feel warm to the touch. If I leave it off for about 5 minutes and reboot it, it then correctly reports battery life. I have had this phone since September 2010. I am running Gingerbread 2.3.4. Has anyone else experienced this? |

57835 | I have multiple Gmail accounts; how do I tell which contacts belong to which Gmail account? | I have several Gmail accounts running on Android via the Gmail for Android app. When I open my contacts, they are **all** together, and I don't know who belongs to which Gmail address. I thought that the different colours of the "no photo" placeholders to the left of the contact's name in the contact manager possibly was an indicator of which account the contact belonged to, but no such luck. The only way I have figured out is: 1. Open the contact and click "edit" and the associative Gmail account for that contact is listed directly under the contact name at the top of the edit window; 2. Actually go and change the view parameters so you are only viewing contacts for 1 account at a time. Both of these methods are time consuming, susceptible to a myriad of erroneous keystrokes when the dog jumps on the chair with me, and INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. Or maybe there is something better to use as an Android email app that can handle 6 different Gmail accounts? |

I tried searching for an answer, but everyone seemed to be testing their own app and received this message. The game is fully running, so I wasn't so sure what the problem may be. The game was limited to a country I'm not living in, so I had to get the APK file and install it directly. Could this be the problem?

24398 | How can I disable shortcuts from being created after install from Google Play? | I own a Galaxy S2 with the Samsung ICS stock, and I've noticed when I download an application from Google Play (Market) it installs it and automatically places the app shortcut on the first free space it finds on the launcher front. Is there any way to disable this feature? |
29494 | Is there anyway I can disable the posting of app shortcuts on my home-screen when an app is installed? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > How can I disable shortcuts from being created after install from Google > Play? Every time I install an app a shortcut gets created on my home-screen, I don't want this to happen so I am wondering if there is a way to prevent the creation of shortcuts unless I want them created. |
641 | Android phone lost, what data can I get onto new phone? | Sorry about the clumsy question. My Android HTC Magic was lost/stolen last night. I had an unlock swipe code, power-on SIM code and have called the phone company and had it blocked, so not too concerned about the phone itself being used by someone else. What I am thinking about is when I get a new phone, what data/info can I get back easily as I can't just copy it from the old phone now? Obviously GMail/Contacts/Calendar are all stored on the web, any purchased apps are linked to my Market login, and I'm not concerned about photos, music etc that were on the SD card. What I'm more concerned about are my preferences, settings, SMS texts, list of installed apps, prefs, data from those apps, etc. Are those all gone? Addendum: I was thinking of rooting the phone, so did take a standard Nandroid backup a week ago that I have a copy of on my PC, if I get an identical model of phone and restore that, will my data come back? Also what happens if I try to restore that onto a different model of phone (I'm assuming bad things would happen)? |
1536 | The loud speaker on my Samsung Captivate stopped working! Is my phone broken or can I fix it myself? | The speaker at the back of my phone, used for ringing and playing sound without headphones, is completely silent. Do I need to have it repaired? |
1535 | shutting down hasn't finished (2.1) | my battery was getting flat so HTC Desire 2.1 decided to shut down. That's fine but the shutting down never finished. Put it on charger. And when clicking Power Off nothing happens. The phone is slow to operate. Is there anything else I can do except taking the battery off? |
1533 | How can I access the /android_asset/ folder on my phone? | or in other words: 1. Where is it? 2. Can I access it without root access? I've been searching in ASTRO file manager but I can't find it. What is the full path? |
23148 | How does the safe/fastboot/recovery mode differ from the normal as seen from windows pc? | This is a related question to: How to install fastboot drivers? I have trouble using the command line fastboot program. I think that I don't have the correct drivers installed. How can I verify this? What there should be on device manager -> driver details when you are in fastboot mode? What is the correct term for this mode? |
23147 | Copy Text from SMS pulls wrong text | On my ICS 4.0.4 Nexus S when I go to a message that I've just sent to a person and select it, then 'Copy Text' and somewhere else 'Paste' the text it seems to pull the 4th/5th message above the one I've selected. However it only does this behaviour 2 out of every 3 times or so, I can't reproduce it at will. Is there a fix for this and/or is it a known issue? |
648 | Is there any way to get Swype on my Moto Droid? | Is there anyway to get Swype from outside the Market? Its not available there, and I see its already running on Droid X, so I was thinking it'd probably work on Droid as well. |
28497 | during reboot stuck on "Samsung" logo | After installing CM9 on my Samsung Galaxy S+ (Plus) it gets stuck in the "SAMSUNG" screen whenever I restart, the very first screen (I guess). I have to press the Power button 10 seconds to restart when I come to that point. Did someone discover that kind of problem before, how can I solve the issue? |
22230 | How can I forward a port when using PdaNet? | I'm using PdaNet to connect my laptop to the Internet. From there I'm using an ethernet cable and Internet conection sharing to connect my PS3 for online gaming. Works pretty good for most games, but one in particular will not connect to the server. I need to know how to adjust the router settings when (I think) the phone is the router. In particular, how can I forward ports and enable UPnP? If this isn't possible, is there another setup i could use to get what I want? I've got my laptop running Win7 64 bit, a Belkin Play N600 router (not used currently), a stock LG axis AS 740 Android phone (2.1 OS) and the PS3. Oh, and the game I'm trying to play is Modern Warfare 3. I'm just not very tech savvy. |
10422 | How to fix broken display on Samsung Galaxy Tab? | My Samsung Galaxy Tab felt on the street and the glass on the touch screen is broken. The display still works fine, but it is "danger to touch it", especially for kids. When I visited repair shop, they asked for the price almost equal to the price of new device. As it seems to work still fine, my hypothesis is that only the glass is broken, and actually display (electronic device) behind it is ok. And if I would be able to remove the broken glass and get new one (from some ordinary "window maker") and glue it on the display, everything should be ok. Is that crazy idea or do I have a chance? |
77539 | Is there a hardware or software limitation to how long smartphone can record video? | Besides the obvious battery and storage limitations, are there any limits to how long can a smartphone record video? For example, could the image sensor overheat after an hour or more? Would the camera software explode? |
77538 | cannot change languange on external keyboard | I have a smart tv (pilot) which run android 4.0.2 . I connected it an external keyboard (through USB). I have English and Hebrew in the keyboard. The problem is that I cannot switch language through "alt+shift" . In the android keyboard I can switch through the GUI in the tv , but not through the external keyboard. What can I do ? Thanks! Tom. |
77533 | Is there a way to divert calls during a time interval? | I want to know if there is a way to set-up my phone so that from 8:30 to 17:00 the calls are diverted? |
77531 | Unexplicable battery draining on Galaxy Nexus | Okay, so first some details: * Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM version) * Stock rom (rooted) * Brand new stock battery (1750mah) I started suffering from unexplainable battery draining a few months ago. And with that I mean draining from fully charged to empty in less than 10 hours with almost no usage at all. I must add that I frequently flashed custom roms on there, particularly unofficial 4.4 roms for maguro (galaxy nexus). As a last resort, I installed the original and last release of JB on it again, for me 4.3 yakju. Since that also did not fix the problem I bought a new stock battery on ebay. I thought that obviously the battery must be broken, since it would also drain battery even when powered off. Except the fact that the battery drains less slowly, the battery is also draining spectacularly (it now drains in 12-13 hours approximately) As a final note: I am now running stock 4.3, with virtually no apps installed. Syncing is off, no wifi, no 3G no nothing. Even with my old battery, it would last a day with moderate usage.  **So my question is whether you guys have any ideas or leads of what might have happened? Did I fuck up my phone by wrongly flashing it? If so, is there something that can still save my phone?** |
77535 | Qi Charger is Cycling | I have a Samsung S5 with a WOWTOU receiver. It was working fine, but after a week or so, it now cycles, even when the S5's battery is not full. I've tried multiple different brands of Qi transmitters, and they all do the same thing. It does get hot at times, but there is no correlation with the temperature and the cycling. Different transmitters seem to cause different rates of cycling, but I haven't done a real experiment to see what those are. Any suggestions? |
10426 | Can't access emails in Gmail labels | This is a problem that suddenly appeared (or rather didn't!) on my Nexus One running Cyanogenmod 7. It was fine and then all of a sudden I could no longer load any emails in any of the labels, it just says "loading conversations" but never loads or times out. Search is affected the same way. I don't often have to use labels so I put up with it. However, it is still happening on my new Samsung Galaxy S2. Choosing to sync specific labels for offline access means I can get to them fine, but it's impractical for all labels. As suggested by Google mobile help I tried deleting the data for the Gmail app (though there is no additional "gmail mail storage" app) and rebooting before re-syncing, to no avail. During all this I have always been able to access labels on my 2.2 tablet and having just reinstalled CM7 on my Nexus One am now able to access them fine. Any ideas? |
24695 | Why sometimes does my lower menu (ADWLauncher - Dockbar) disappears? | I have the following Android Desktop, using Cyanogenmod:  Sometimes, I don't remember how or why, it becomes like this:  As you can see, the lower menu (dockbar) just disappears, and only Browser's icon is shown. I have to restart my phone so I can get my menu back. I'm using ADWLauncher. What am I doing to lose my lower menu? Where am I clicking? I have no idea how to return to the previous state unless I restart my phone... :/ |
9312 | How can I verify the authenticity of an apk file I downloaded? | The latest update of Google Maps is unavailable in my country, so I downloaded a version by googling for "Google Maps 5.4.0 apk". I did in fact find it, but now I wonder how I can tell if this is in fact the same version as in the market. How can I be sure that it hasn't been tampered with? Are apps signed in any way? Is there any way of checking the signatures? |
79467 | Which BusyBox is legitimate on Play Store? | BusyBox is a collection of *nix utilities. I am attempting to install it via the Play Store (I've had a lot of trouble in the past trying to cross-compile BusyBox). The problem I am having: there are six or eight apps using that name, and I cannot tell which (if any) is legitimate. The desktop search is search?q=busybox, but it only lists about half compared to what's listed on the device using the Play Store app. I spent some time searching on XDA and Android Enthusiasts, but I could not determine the app. Would anyone know which (if any) BusyBox is legitimate? |
33048 | Galaxy Nexus slow on WiFi wakeup | Performance question here : my Galaxy Nexus is really slow right after I connect it to a WiFi network after long periods not being connected to the internet. That doesn't happen on EDGE or on 4G, and after a while it goes back to normal. My first guess for the culprit is : the low latency of WiFi networks, combined with the (potentially large) number of apps waiting for a connection to wake up, can spawn a lot of threads, which get data almost immediately, and start processing it right away, all at the same time (unlike EDGE where data can take a while to download). Which obviously clog the CPU and RAM. Is there an app or conmand-line tool (phone is rooted and running CyanogenMod 10, btw) that can show me which ones are doing too much work? _Off-Topic: As a developer, do you know of any tricks that can minimize that effect when syncing in background? Other than not doing it when unnecessary, of course!_ |
55159 | Is there a way to change apps shown in s-view window on Samsung Galaxy Note 3? | I have the note 3 and the s-view case. Its great but only lets you have a few widgets accessible from the lock scree. Is there any way to change or customize these widgets? |
55158 | Suppress "autoplay" when external USB drive connected | On some phones, when an external USB drive is connected to the phone, there is sort of an autoplay function where it automatically brings up the "My Files" screen. Is there a way to suppress this? This occurs on my Note 2 with Android version 4.1.2, but not on my Note 1 with version 4.0.4. Just to be clear, I want the drive to automatically mount in the background as usual, but just not bring up the "My Files" screen. I have an app that expects a USB drive to be plugged in and searches for specific file types and this behavior is annoying because it takes the screen away from my app. |
79460 | Note 3 on OSX. Stuck in "Connected as a media device" | I'm studying tutorials on Android development. After struggling to get an AVD running on my system, I'm using my personal cell (A Note 3 on Verizon) to test the small programs I'm writing. I enabled developer options and USB Debugging on my phone. When I connect it to my computer (an iMac running OSX), it behaves as most people want it to: It notifies "Connected as an installer" for ~30 seconds, then displays "Connected as media device." The Android File Transfer application starts up. My problem: I need it to stay in "Connected as an installer" mode. So long as it's "Connected As Media Device" Eclipse and the Android SDK can't copy programs to it. For the last few days, simply closing Android File Transfer on the computer caused the phone to revert back to "Connected as an installer". Lately, though, that doesn't do the trick. I open and close Android File Transfer, but the phone is stuck in "Connected as a Media Device" mode. If it helps: Eclipse can see the device. When I plug it into the USB port, Eclipse's log show all the messages coming off the device. But Eclipse won't run programs on it so long as it's in Media Device mode. |
28143 | type "adb shell su" in terminal (cmd in win or console in Linux ) let the terminal hang | I just want to input more shell commands after typing `adb shell su`, but the terminal just return an "#". It appears to be unresponsive to further commands. How can I solve this problem? Recompile the `su` binary? Any other suggestions? Other information: I use `ddmlib` to communication with Android phone, if I use `device.executeShellCommand("su", receiver)`, an exception occurs( _com.taobao.wireless.testlab.ddmlib.ShellCommandUnresponsiveException_ ). |
55157 | Automatically have my frequently-used apps handy | I recently wiped and re-installed my phone. In so doing, I lost my home screen layout. In any event, my layout wasn't all that great. What I'm looking for is an app/other method that would determine which apps I use most frequently and place them on my home screen automatically. I imagine this would need to be either a launcher or a widget. This way, I wouldn't have to spend time scrolling around for my most commonly-used apps. Does such an app exist? |
3891 | How can I abort a voice mis-dialed call? | When I use voice dialing, the wrong contact is selected often enough that I'd like a chance to abort the call before it starts. If I tap the call button on my headset, it seems to transfer the call back to the phone; by the time I reach for the phone, and hang up, I've left a missed call on a random person's phone. What is the proper way to abort a call _from the headset_ when the dialer picks the wrong contact? Is there some way to get a bit more delay before the call connects? Moto Droid (stock), 2.2, Moto H720 headset. |
55150 | Alarm Volume On A Motorola Citrus | I'm using a Motorola Citrus. Basically my alarm volume is low. It is low in settings, but it is even lower, barely audible when I run a timer. In settings I have the volume bar maxed out. I also have the volume bar maxed out when I press the volume button on the upper right side of the phone The phone is fully charged. I'm using the sound of an alarm clock. I'm new to Android and smart phones. Any ideas on how I can make the alarm louder? Thanks |
79469 | How to change Android's default key press sound? | The phone is rooted, I tried changing the file/s; /system/media/audio/ui/*.ogg and their permissions; -rw-r--r-- but still plays the default. Restarting the phone doesn't work also. Am I missing something? |

73347 | No WiFi connection on Note 3 after update to 4.4.2 | I recently updated my SM-N9005 note 3 to the 4.4.2 kitkat firmware(N9005DXUENE4)Then I rooted the phone with CF-Auto root and After that I flashed Omega v16_DXUENE4_md5...ROM It is running smooth, fast response and everything BUT no WiFi connection. Not even scanning... I searched about this issue in forums if anybody has the same problem and I found recommendation about how to fix it. First I tried to change 'ro.securestorage.support=true' line to '=false' but nothing happened... I saw somewhere somebody said to check 'getenforce' command and if it's come out like 'enforcing' then I have to change it to 'permissive' This Omega ROM is with permissive kernel but still no WiFi. Now I don't know what can be the problem. Is there anybody who can suggest something or give me the solution please? |
18866 | How do I fix the permissions on /system/app on my Kindle fire | I attempted to root my Amazon Kindle. That seemed to go well, but when I tried to add the Google App Market, I apparently made a big booboo, because now I am in "constant reboot, 'kindle fire' screen of death". That is, the fire won't boot, and it just stares at me with "kindle fire". I've googled around, and found people with my exact problem, but no way to fix it. And my problem is this: The permissions on my /system/app folder are as follows? d--------- root root 2012-01-28 13:26 app Yeah, I know, not good. So, how can I fix it? I've tried the various methods out there, but basically, because the directory is so hosed on permissions, I can't do anything. For instance, I can't run mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system because I get mount: Operation not permitted and when I try adb root I get the cryptic adbd cannot run as root in production builds So I am dead in the water. Can anyone help me fix my permissions on /system/app? |

50220 | is it possible to emulate previous OS in an Android Device? | Well, I see no one else have asked this, may be a dummy question, but is it possible (through a menu setting or an app or something) to emulate a previous version of Android OS? For example, my device is running ICS 4.0.4 and I want it just for a moment to try an app have it in GB 2.3.6 or GB 2.3.3 or even further? I know about the AVD (Android Virtual Device Manager) but it's just that is not smooth enough for me, that's why I want it in a physical device. Any help is appreciated. **UPDATE:** I'm not worried about if an app is supported or not, I'm a developer and what I want to test is the behavior of an app I'm building in different versions of Android. Since I have JB, I want to try my app in ICS and GB to see how it works, minimal details such as action bar that was added in HC. That's why I ask if it's possible to do it with my own device or if I have to get other devices with previous OS |
61416 | Customise lock screen on samsung phones | I have a Samsung Galaxy Fame running Android 4.1 One day, I was fiddling with my phone's lock screen and accidentally removed one of the shortcuts on the lock screen. I had 4 and there is now 3. I have searched and searched but nowhere will show how and it's not obvious on my phone. Please help! |
61414 | Sending out android devices; official way to handle device gmail accounts? | I tried asking this question on the android google groups, but it would appear the group is no longer moderated and new users can't post there. Let's say I have an app that we setup and distribute on our own devices to clients via the play store. What is the "official" way to handle the device email accounts? Setting up a new gmail account for every device could become time consuming, and if the number of machines grows arbitrarily high (let's say 1000 devices), seems like a bad solution. Creating a single gmail account is also a bad idea, if someone changes the password than all devices are locked out, etc. I can't imagine it's a use case nobody else has, so is there an official google way to do this, or is it a free-for-all find what works best for our particular use case kind of thing? Thanks edit - The application can be installed either on a user's private tablet (hence it being on the app store) with their own gmail account, or can be distributed by us to them, on our devices. Since we already had the app on the play store, it makes sense to use that distribution method for updates. But that requires a gmail account for the device to connect to the play store. |
