46622 | Application trying to access in app billing | Getting a message at the bottom of my screen: In app billing is not supported for this device. Try again later. The problem is, I never authorized an app for in-app billing in the first place. What's going on? |
46627 | com.phone.android keeps crashing immediatelly after factory reset | I am having the very-well known problem where com.android.phone keeps crashing all the time. I have done a factory reset and the problem had immediate effect just after the 1st reboot. So, we can exclude cases like crappy applications. I know that this is a common problem, but as far as I couldn't find any working solution I decided to ask your help. My phone is Samsung Galaxy S, Gingerbread, rooted, no custom ROM installed. Any help appreciated. |
46624 | Cannot find downloaded files | My phone is a Galaxy S3 i9300 and is rooted. I do most of the time download files via the Internet. So the files I downloaded are in the `documents` folder. The weird part is after I check it in my file manager, the downloaded file is nowhere to be found. I am 100% sure that I finished the download. Have anyone experience this scenario? |
41812 | Can't make or receive calls or texts, or connect to the Internet | My Samsung Galaxy S2 wont allow me to make or receive phone calls, messages, or texts. My provider is Vodafone; my Android version is 4.0.4. I have tried my SIM in other phones and it works fine. It is just in this one that it doesn't work. I have preformed a factory data reset and still have the same problem. How do I fix this? |

17678 | How can I access an Amazon cloud drive from a Kindle Fire? | I randomly remembered that I have an Amazon Cloud Drive on my account recently, and I'm curious if there's any way that I can access it from my Kindle Fire. As far as I can tell, the "Documents" tab on the shelf doesn't link to it, and I don't see any other built-in methods of getting to it. I'm okay with third party apps or other solutions, it need not be an official method that's baked into the Fire. My Fire is rooted (stock 6.2.1) and the Market is installed if that provides any extra possibilities. |
17679 | Changing contact to canonical form (adding + country_code) | I am using Samsung Galaxy S2. Is there any automated way or app to change all my contacts with appropriate country code into canonical form. I just found that lot of my contact are there without the country code. And few apps like whatsapp, viber etc does not recognize the contact unless + is appended with country code. Is there any better way to do it than editing all my contacts? |
17670 | How can I prevent the Google+ app from showing the wrong thumbnail before I share a photo? | When I go to the Google+ app to share a picture I've taken on my phone, it shows the wrong thumbnail. I select the thumbnail anyway because experience has taught me that I can trust the date, and I when I share the picture the correct picture is shared. This is incredibly frustrating, however, as I'm effectively "flying blind" when I share photos with the Google+ app. I've developed various coping mechanisms for dealing with this problem. I go into the Gallery app and delete all but pictures I want to share on Google+ and count the number of pictures I want to share. Then I select the first few pictures (say, four) and share them on Google+. Even though the thumbnails are wrong because I've already done the legwork to know which picture is which. I've sent feedback to Google about this multiple times (it bothers me that there is no public record of this) and have been updating the Google+ app regularly, but the problem persists. As of this writing I'm using version 2.3.0.240337 of the Google+ app on Android 2.2. I don't _think_ this has anything to do with how I manage pictures on my Android phone, but I'll describe that anyway. Every so often I put my phone in USB mode and import my photos into iPhoto. Then (after safely ejecting the device), from the phone I do a "select all" and "delete all" of all the pictures. |
17671 | Superuser not prompting | I recently installed ICS(Android 4) on my Samsung Galaxy S, and it seems that in the process my superuser app broke. Everything went fine, my phone is working better than ever, but when an app requires superuser permissions, it gets denied and I never get a prompt. Checked the settings, cleared superuser's cache and data, restarted it, tried to put it on automatically allow, nothing works. How do I fix this? P.S. superuser has no problem prompting for itself(when updated it prompts "superuser asked for permissions"), but doesn't work for other apps. |
13568 | Seems like my SD Card just died... can I insert a new one? | So today my HTC Desire randomly froze, then started acting strangely - only showed the background image, nothing else. Didn't respond to power-off or anything so I pulled the battery. After this, it simply would not boot up, just gets stuck on the boot up screen. The phone is flashed with InsertCoin ROM so I can still get into fastboot but can't make backups - it can't load the SD Card. Error given is: **E:Can't Mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (Invalid Argument)** When I try to mount the SD Card to my computer it fails (ie. computer doesn't recognise it at all). Tried other random SD Cards and they mount no problem (thus shouldn't be a problem with the reader) Main question... can I insert the original SD Card that came with the phone, and will the phone bootup and be usable? (note: this SD Card would be pretty much 'as-is' since I used a diff SD Card pretty much from day 1) Sub question... anyone with ideas on if I can salvage what is left of this original SD Card? (can't seem to get anything to recognise it at all...) Thanks in advance! |

62535 | Root permission doesnt appears for me to accept | I rooted my Android (HTC Desire 2.2) permanently with z4root, and it was rooted successfully. Root checker confirmed that it has been rooted. I downloaded DATA2SD, when I opened it, superuser was installed and asked me to confirm/accept root permission for DATA2SD. It was working properly. After a few days my phone was updated from 2.2 to 2.2.2 according to my system scheduled check for update online. After updating, I realized that DATA2SD wasn't working: it says "DATA2SD cannot work without root permission"; it never asked me to accept root permission anymore. I then checked again with root checker and it said "No root" but when I try to root it says "Your phone is already rooted, do you want to root again?" root checker says its not rooted. SuperUser is still installed, but I don't see any root permission to accept. Any help? What should I do? I want to unroot but can't unroot. |
62538 | How to create link to app that does not appear in the apps menu? | I just purchased a Galaxy Note 3 and was surprised that the Voice Recorder app is not included on the screen with the rest of the apps. However, the Voice Recognition feature opens the Voice Recorder app when I say "Open voice recorder". Thus, obviously the app is installed. **How can I the app to either the list of apps or even better yet, to one of the "home screens"?** Note that my device in not in English, so I'm not sure of the English names of all the windows. However, to open the app I do say _in English_ "Open voice recorder" so I know that is the name of the app. Previous Samsung devices, such as the S3, had this app on the screen with all the other apps. |

81883 | Explanation for Google Log ins (relating to android) | So I see activity for logins I know I am creating. However, there are some im not sure where they originate from. My pc uses chrome 37.0, and my android device uses 36.0. Signing into the actual chrome android client will display a log in from 36.0 from the device. Now, ive noticed in the sign in history, past 15 days, every day or couple days, there is a log in from the android device from the right ip address (mine), but as chrome 30.0. I cant seem to recreate the log in by removing the account from the device and logging in again to apps e.g google + or youtube. I cant reproduce this so im wondering what are the origins of these log ins? Im sure i read somewhere that android 4.4.2 is misinterpreted as chrome 30.0 (I think github) so maybe its just a general login from booting the device every now and again? |
81881 | Making Android not respond to connecting headphones | My android (Galaxy sII, CM9) has this thing where if I connect/disconnect headphones (either audio jack or bluetooth) it responds to it. (Like turns the song on or off.) I use Poweramp for music. The idea is great but the execution is horrible. It tends to just turn on random audio files in my phone that I don't want to hear, or just switch songs arbitrarily, lose the point in a podcast that I'm at so I have to reopen the file and find the point again, etc. How do I cancel any and all Android responses to connecting or disconnecting headphones? I don't want my phone to do anything when I connect or disconnect headphones. |
20766 | Is there a alarm clock app that uses UTC time? | Is there a alarm clock app that uses UTC instead of local timezone? The reason I ask is that I am tired of this daylight savings time idea, so my plan is to set 1 time in a non DST timezone like UTC and then use that time as wakeup in the morning time all year. |
20765 | How to sync old Google Calendar events on Sony Ericsson XPeria X10 Mini? | I have got a replacement phone for my HTC Desire while the latter is in repairs. It's Sony Ericsson XPeria X10 Mini. Since it's also an Android-based device I hoped I could sync my contacts and calendar events. However, as it seems it only syncs one of my calendar in full (namely Ukrainian Holidays, which is not as important) and new events for other calendars. I wasn't able to find option for selecting which calendars to sync as in HTC Desire. How can I sync my old events (including ones that are recurring in future)? It would be sufficient to just have my primary calendar on the phone. P.S. I tried cleaning Calendar Storage data and synching manually again (from Settings -> Data Synchronization -> Auto Sync and then select Calendar). It took substantial time (~5 minutes), so I hoped it have synched old events, but they are still not in my calendar. It has even removed events that I have added today. New events get synched as previously. |

81888 | SuperSU binaries won't install to my HTC One M8 | I am following this guide to root my HTC One M8. I just need root, I don't need a custom ROM. I have gotten to step 7 (weaksauce). I can install weaksauce fine and it roots my device (at least, it says it roots it). However, when I try to run SuperSU (downloaded from the Android market, latest version) it says `The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?` It says this in my notification bar as well. I click `Continue` and it says `Installing, please wait. If you see this message for more than five minutes please restart and try again`. After about 30 seconds, it says `Installation failed ! Please reboot and try again`. I've tried it multiple times with all forms of rebooting (adb reboot, holding power button, etc) as well as a factory reset (which put me back down to 4.2.2), however it keeps giving me this error. |
81889 | Cannot enable Ad Block plus for Galaxy S5 | I am trying to use Ad Block Plus for my Samsung Galaxy S5. I recently upgraded from a Galaxy S3 on which ABP worked flawlessly.

52576 | Control of apps while driving. (Macros?) | I want to create a few simple macros which I can activate while driving. At the moment, for safety I would need to park the car in order to use the GUI. What I'm after (if it's possible) is to assign to a trigger (such as shaking the phone, which I can do while driving without taking my eyes off the road) to a series of taps or the clicking of a button etc. Can one app control another in this way? And can macros be recorded which would for example, click on an item in a list, and then when a new screen pops up, click a GUI button in it? Specifically, I listen to a number of di.fm radio station streams in the car and want to be able to change between them. DI.fm has a custom app for this, but their stations are also available as standards-compliant streams (mp3, aac) for 3rd party programs like WinAmp (which might have more accessible controls for switching between streams which could be managed by an additional 3rd party app) |

48501 | How to force my tablet to remember which video files it was playing and make it easy to resume playing these files next time device is powered up? | I am using Samsung Note 10.1 to watch lots of instructional videos; each course is composed of 10-40 video files, stored in folders, subfolders etc I have tried bunch of video players; most of them can play videos ok, but once the device is rebooted I have to do the whole process again (start video player, point it to certain folder, scroll through the files I have seen already etc) Here is my question - is it possible to force video player to start playing from the last position the player has been stopped at? (and later been able to jump to the next file from that folder etc) _As an alternative fix_ \- would it be possible to switch my tablet into "deep-sleep" ( **hibernation**?) mode so it could stay in such mode for a _long long time without draining the battery_ and, once waken up, restore last work session)? |
62285 | How can I ignore the AT&T software update? | I keep getting this message every 10 minutes or so on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (non-rooted Android 4.1.2):  How can I ignore it? I want to skip this update as the penultimate one introduced some nasty bugs. EDIT: Apparently I cannot kill the AT&T service:  Also, I restarted the device and the AT&T service is launched at startup. So I tried to remove the AT&T service from the startup using Startup Cleaner 2.0, but the AT&T service still get launched...:  |
62284 | Too many repeat notifications from Google Now | I do appreciate a lot when Google Now tells me when my team plays but the thing is.. every game shows me like 4 notification. I clear it and then it comes back again. I don't like most notifications, almost all of them are muted on my phone, even e-mail, but this is one that I actually like but I don't like getting so many of the same one. Is there any way of tweaking this? I'm on a Note 3 if that's of any importance |
62281 | Is it possible to write video directly to external device while recording | I have a Nexus 5 that I'd like to use for some video recording. The meetings I'd like to record are likely to run long enough that they might cause my phone to run out of space mid-recording. I am wondering whether it is possible to connect my phone to my Macbook (or some other device) such that the file is written directly to my Macbook SSD while recording; in other words, to use the phone as a peripheral. Is this possible? |
7246 | Default launcher app hangs at boot up. Unable to do anything with phone (NexusOne) | My NexusOne's builtin launcher is suddenly hanging at bootup. Since the main lock screen is hanging the screen touch is not working, soft buttons are not working -- I am just completely unable to do anything with the phone. When I tried calling the phone the call comes through, and I see the "Activity Launcher is not responding. Force Close?" popup, but when I force close it and the call ends, it goes back to the hanging lock screen and once again I am able to do nothing. Since it is stuck at lock screen there is literally nothing I can do to kill it or try other apps or settings or anything else. Even connecting USB cable didn't work since I need to enable USB storage from the notification bar and the hanging lock screen wont allow any touch response anywhere... What can I do or try? I guess hard reset is an option to try, but I want to keep it as a worst case option. |
44662 | Android and Google contact sync: "Starred in Android" | How can I sync Android contacts directly with Google? The problem is I have several groups under my Google account ("contacts", "contacts2", "Starred in Android"). When I try to add a new contact from my Android device, under the groups tab I can see only "contacts" and "contacts2" named groups, but not "Starred in Android". And when I choose to sync contacts with Google, it syncs with contacts which are under the "Starred in Android" named group. So as you can guess every time when I add a new contact from my phone, I must change this contact's group to "Starred in Android" from Gmail. |
44665 | Installing Orbot as a remote SOCKS server for other computers? | I installed Orbot on my Android device and I want to make it a remote SOCKS server so that other computers can connect to it. The TorFAQ – Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki suggests that for Tor on Windows, the user should edit Tor's directive file **torrc**. So I did the same thing with Orbot on my device. Here is the contents of my **torrc** file on Android: SocksListenAddress 0.0.0.0 SocksPort 9050 SocksPolicy accept * SafeSocks 1 Log notice stdout ControlListenAddress 127.0.0.1 ControlPort 9051 CookieAuthentication 1 RelayBandwidthRate 20 KBytes RelayBandwidthBurst 20 KBytes AutomapHostsOnResolve 1 TransListenAddress 127.0.0.1 TransPort 9040 DNSListenAddress 127.0.0.1 DNSPort 5400 HardwareAccel 1 SafeLogging 1 TestSocks 1 I added the first and third lines to the original file.

44666 | How to prevent caching of music in Gingerbread? | I'm using android 2.3.6. It automatically caches all the music that I add. This kind of annoys me because every time I delete a song the name of the song still appears in the music list. Therefore every time I make any changes I have to clear data from the Media App. I've been doing this for a long time and now I've had enough of it. Can someone tell me how to prevent auto caching of media files? |
44669 | Android launcher not working | Unfortunately the launcher has stopped working. I get this error again and and again with a just OK option to press, which I do, but after some time this error comes again. I have not downloaded any other launcher application. The launcher is version 4.0.4. Can anyone please help me? Tried restarting the phone but that doesn't work. I've even tried downloading a new launcher but I'm not able to do so. I'm getting gasps process error. |
44668 | Google Now suggest I leave work early every day | I have flexible working hours. My work days are eight hours. I usually arrive at work between 8 and 10 am. That means I should leave at 4 pm or 6 pm. Google Now, however, insist that I should leave work every day regardless of when I arrived and take the bus home at 3:30 pm. How can I calibrate how Google Now behaves? Location services and sharing of that data with Google is enabled. I have been using the service for four weeks. |
7249 | How can I update my Nexus S manually? | I just bought a Nexus S from the USA and it works fine here (Spain). Just realised its version of Gingerbread is 2.3.1 though. While it's no surprise it finds no OTA updates with the local carriers, I wonder how could I get the phone up-to-date, _offline style_. Suppose I don't have to root and tinker with it right? |
54445 | Improve mic sensitivity; phone partner can't hear me | Whenever I use my phone to actually call someone, I often hear the complaint that I'm speaking too low, even when I'm using a loud enough voice. **Is there a way to increase the sensitivity of the mic, or to boost the volume?** This problem is bad enough when using the phone without accessories, but if I use my iPhone 4 headset I have to nearly swallow the mic to be heard. My Bluetooth headset is as bad as the phone but better than the Apple headset. I'm using a Nexus 4 and this has been the problem on every software release: Android 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.2.2, and CM 10.1.3. My searches haven't revealed any solution, but it seems to be a problem on many different brands and models, not specific to my current hardware or software. |

54448 | How is Whatsapp delivering notifications? | I am having some issues with Whatsapp notifications and I'd like to better understand what's the root cause of the problem. It seems that the application is somehow bypassing (at least partially) the system notification system. In addition to ignoring Touchwiz blocking mode, the application works weirdly because its notifications do not turn off music volume when I receive them while listening to music, and it is able to manage by itself the led colors. How can they do that from a technical point of view? Is there any way to disable this behavior and have Whatsapp to entirely rely on system notification system and completely follow its rules? |
59674 | Change system font on 4.2.2 | On my GT-I9105P with 4.1.2 there was a section in the Settings where I could change the system font. But now I've done the 4.2.2 upgrade and the Settings have been redesigned I can't find any option to change the system font. How can I change it? P.S. I would not use any applications to change the font, so I wanna know if the option to change the font have been removed or simply I can't find it. EDIT: I found the solution. |
41102 | Sync only on screen on | I just bought a Nexus 4 (4.2.2), the problem is thta whatsapp/gmail/facebook (all apps) only show notifications when the screen is turned off (so I'm not notified if a message arrives with a led, sound nor vibration) until I actually check my phone. I have deactivated the wifi baterry saving option, set the wifi to always on (instead of off during sleep), and nothing :S I had a motorola razr and this problem never happened to me. |
59676 | Unable to reach Google Play does not recognize my device | I have the HUAWEI G520-5000 mobile phone which was bought in April 2013 from China during a business trip. The device, despite of being locked for China Mobile carrier, is working properly for my carrier (Cosmote) in Greece. I don't have problems with talking or accessing the internet. My problem is that my Google account does not recognize my device and I can not use the Google Play store and it is impossible to install even the simpliest application. I suppose that the problem is the Android OS on my device which seems to be modified by China Mobile and Huawei (only Chinese apps are accepted by the device and the s/n of the OS is also pretty strange (something like 123456ABCD).

I've got a Droid 3, and about once a day I get a notification that there are updates available for my apps. When I tap the notification to be taken to the market place; however, there are either no apps to update or the wrong number of apps (i.e. notification says 2, only one app is available).

44086 | Which modem firmware for Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) works best with the mobile networks in Russia? | Trying to use a Samsung Galaxy S device coming from China or Korea in Russia lead to the observation that the quality of the connection to the mobile network is much worse than on Samsung Galaxy S we used previously (which was bought in Russia). I have installed CyanogenMod 10.0 on the device in the hope that the mobile network connection quality would improve. But that doesn't seem to be the case. Now I see information that there are different firmware available for the modem; one should try to flash them to get modem working well in a specific region --http://android.stackexchange.com/a/44021/13117: > Well, I guess you should flash another modem file, which is working well for > your region/carrier (use google . A modem file defines how the radio part of > your phone works, it has an influence on signal strenght/network speed (and > might have influence on battery life, too). and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783 lists a lot various modem firmware for the device. Which one to choose for Russia, Moscow (Megafon mobile network)? (The one that was working bad for us is XXJPK, and--on another device from China or Korea--SPJG2, which also has bad/unstable signal, but not as bad as XXJPK. After the installation of CM10, XXJPK on that device was replaced with XXJVT, which again has very bad signal.) |
9563 | How do I turn on the battery full notification sound? | Similar to this previous question, but I want to enable the battery full notification sound, not the opposite :) My Galaxy S used to make a nice beep and switch the screen on briefly when the battery was fully charged, since the Gingerbread update (official Samsung 2.3.3 JV9 release) it still briefly switches the screen on, but no longer makes the noise. This used to be great because the plug socket on my desk is right at one end, so (if I don't want a long cable getting tangled in everything) the phone's out of my line of sight and I rely on the audio notifications to tell me there's a reason to glance over at it. Now, since Gingerbread, I don't get any audible notification for the battery full, and never know when it's been fully charged. Unlike a lot of people here I don't plug my phone in to charge overnight (why would I, when I have to pay for the electricity at home :D), so was never bothered by the noise waking me up. I've hunted through all of the Sound and Notification settings that I can find, and already have System and Notification volumes turned up, so it's not those. I'm slightly worried that they've listened to the moaners and removed a useful feature, but hope that buried somewhere there's a nice setting that can keep everyone happy. |

9863 | Can I use Asus Transformer power supply and dock as with regular laptop? | I couldn't find this information in all reviews, so I am asking here about it -- I would like to get such experience with Assus Transformer: 1. I put everything together -- I plug power supply into the dock, I put tablet part into dock 2. Tablet part gets power from AC outlet, not from battery 3. I need to go, I pull out tablet from dock, I leave dock and power supply on desk 4. Tablet part works on its own battery 5. I get back home, and cycle repeats -- (1) The crucial part is, I don't charge tablet directly, but indirectly, via dock, which itself is powered with power supply -- of course this is my wish, **the question is** \-- is it actually possible with Asus Transformer? |

I'm running the following in putty (Windows SSH client): **am broadcast -a net.dinglisch.android.tasker.ACTION_TASK -es task_name Silent** On which I get: **Broadcasting: Intent { act=net.dinglisch.android.tasker.ACTION_TASK dat=Silent } Broadcast completed: result=0** However, despite the existence of task "Silent", nothing happens. Could it be because SSHDroid doesn't have the net.dinglisch.android.tasker.PERMISSION_RUN_TASKS permission? If so, how can I fix that? If not, what else can be the cause? Thanks! |
9867 | How can I backup my contact list without rooting my phone? | Up until now, I was always storing my new contact phone numbers on my SIM card because that way, when I buy a new phone, I have all my numbers transfered automatically. However, it really is nice to be able to store pictures and more information next to a phone number. I am thinking therefore, on beginning to store new contacts on my phone. **How can I backup and restore all contacts on a new phone without rooting my current phone** ( which is a Samsung Galaxy S, by the way ) ? |
28304 | Can I turn off Google/Google+ notifications on Samsung Galaxy S3? | I know you can turn off notifications from the native email client, but is there a way to turn them off for Gmail, Google+, and other Google apps? I have my Google account set up on my phone, which is useful, but if I can't specifically turn off Google notifications I'm going to have to unsync it, because as it stands I have to either silence all notifications and miss important text messages, or get woken up by G+ comments and NYT emails at 4 AM. |

11143 | MS Exchange ActiveSync-underscore issue | I'm usign a brand new Samsung Galaxy S II, running on 2.3.3. Trying to add an account to sync agenda/mail/contacts with our corporate Exchange Server. Steps: 1) Create a new account for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. 2) Fill in e-mailadresse, Password, Domain\Username and Exchange Server. However, as soon as I enter the underscore character (_) in the exchange servername (which is effectively part of the name of our exchange server) the "NEXT" button is disabled. As soon as I delete the underscore character (_), the "NEXT" button is enabled... An underscore is a valid character, so the next button should not be disabled because of this underscore. |
11141 | Why doesn't my Desire S support RTL? | When I bought my Desire S in Israel I was under the assumption that it's OS (Android 2.3) came with built in Hebrew support. When I turned the phone on I discovered that there isn't an option to choose Israel as a locale and that I don't even don't have a Hebrew keyboard. That doesn't bother me (despite the fact that it should be supported) as much as the fact that even after I downloaded a Hebrew keyboard my SMSs and other little things in Hebrew appear left to right and not right to left (RTL). What can I do to make it appear in the correct RTL way? |
28309 | Resetting Galaxy S 3 to factory default ICS | I am a new Android user, and recently I have upgraded the default ROM of Samsung Galaxy S 3 to Jelly Bean MIUI ROM using the steps mentioned at the International Business Times. Now I want to revert it back to default ROM but I am unable to do so. Although the blog says > If you want to return to your previous ROM for some reason, boot into > recovery (using the procedure explained in step 3), choose backup and > restore, then restore your previous ROM by selecting it from the list. But I didn't find anything within the list. I tried wipe data / factory reset but still not getting the default ROM. What do I need to do to get back the default firmware? |
36806 | Does Android have a formal release cycle? | I have been tasked with documenting Google/Android's release plan so that our company has a policy of advanced testing our software on new mobile operating systems. It seems like Apple/iOS has a fairly routine plan where several rounds of betas are available to developers. The most detailed report I found was this: http://reecewagner.com/post/21956240240 but it is a little lacking in official sources, and is less relevant for application developers. I would like to know when they offer the SDK/emulator with new OS image compared to when phones ship/platform updates roll out. |
52749 | Stolen Phone: How can I purge my data if my Google password was recently changed? | Suppose that the cellphone is stolen and that to avoid the thief to use the email I've changed the google account password. In that case, is there something I can yet do to delete personal stuff like photos and so on? The point is, I know there are lots of tools from google, the problem is just that I've changed the password, so the cellphone is probably not connected to the account anymore. Is there something that can be done yet? |
51256 | How do I remove a data restriction? | A couple of months ago I set my phone to have a data limit so that it would stop at 1GB. I have a plan that I share with 2 other people so I thought 1GB would keep my usage down. After a couple of weeks it just started turning my data off, even if I was just using Wifi. I disabled the data limit because it was super annoying. Now, I get notifications that tell me that I have a data restriction (not limit) set. I don't know how to turn it off and it is super annoying. It says: Data Restriction Enabled touch notification to remove restriction How do I turn this off? * * * Device: Motorola Droid Razr M Android Version: 4.1.2 (JellyBean) |

25077 | Sprint Galaxy Nexus stuck in boot-loop | I have a stock Sprint Galaxy Nexus device. This device is unrooted, I have made no changes to the OS / Rom whatsoever. Today this device froze, it was showing a completely black screen except for the system bar at the bottom of the screen (with back, home, and the app tabs button) None of these buttons would respond to any input. Nor did the power button have any effect. It sat in this state for several minutes. Eventually I pulled he battery, upon re-inserting it and turning the device back on it booted up all the way but shortly after the boot was complete it just started rebooting again without warning. This happened several times (enough that I feel it would have gone on forever if I had not intervened) My question is: how do I recover my Galaxy Nexus device so that it can get out of this boot-loop that it is stuck in. This seems to be the same issue that was faced in this question: Galaxy Nexus Suddenly restarts but there is no real resolution given there. |
10253 | How can I get my Android Phone to use its SD card by default? | I've installed an Android ROM on my HTC HD2, and it's working smoothly and responsively. I've gotten calling, SMS, MMS and internet to work flawlessly. I do however have one small problem. With only Android installed, my phone only has a few hundred kilobytes of space left in it's internal memory. I have an SD card inserted with 16GB available that's not being used. After 6 hours of use I'm already getting error messages about SMS message memory being full, and I can't download apps due to the lack of space. Any way I can get my Android phone to treat the SD card as "default" location for saving files, including images from the camera, images recieved from MMS, apps, text messages, mails and application data? |

I tried calling `setuid(0); setgid(0)` in my wrapper, but that doesn't work. How do I run suid scripts on Android? |
56154 | can't use adb shell in recovery mode | I have a china tablet named Quest. I have accidentally repeated pattern lock more than 5 times. Now I have also forgotten the email address. So for a factory-reset of my tablet I simply booted it into recovery mode. But it shows an Android bot lying with red exclamation mark. After a spending hours I found a shortcut i.e, `vol +` and `power` to access recovery menu. But my tablet doesn't go to recovery menu even when I pressed the keys. So I simply connected my tablet to my pc via USB and installed drivers. In adb command prompt I typed `adb devices`. Now my tablet is listed as `20110301 recovery`. I can simply use only `adb pull`, `adb push`, and `reboot` commands. But I cant access adb shell to unlock my tablet: it simply says `exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)`. What can I do? |

56157 | Android PTPP VPN session stalling after precisely 30-31 minutes | My Android 4.2.2 device (MINIX neo X5 TV-box) uses PTPP VPN connection to Netflix via a HideMyAss VPN server. The problem is that the Netflix session always stalls precisely 30-31 minutes after the VPN connection was established, claiming there is no data connection, although the VPN status (in android settings) says "connected". It works again (for another 30-31 minutes) when I disconnect and reconnect the VPN connection. I usually take the occasion to get myself a new cold beer, but it adds up :) does anybody have an idea how to fix the problem? |
56152 | How to stop notifications of OTA update after rooting? | I recently rooted my device (4.1 version Asus tablet). However, when I connect my device to internet, it automatically search for and download system firmware update every time. Then it asks me to tap the notification to update the system.

Edit: My device is Asus MeMo Pad tablet. |
82213 | google play store crashes | Seems like impossible to fix: I have a _ZTE Max_ which I've rooted. I downloaded a ROM but didn't quite install it: just ran to recovery and hit factory reset, thinking it will just ask me for update to load. Anyways, I've rebooted the phone and when I click _Play store_ it crashes immediately. I tried enabling but nothing is disabled. Cleared data and cache for anything with "download" or "play store". Got agravated, removed the root and factory reset about 10 times after repeating the steps over and over again. Also when I click to add a google account it doesn't respond. Any idea how to solve this issue? |

Is there any way I can disable or block these messages? I found the "Balance Update / USSD blocker" app in the Play store, but it specifically states it does not work on 4.2+ versions of Android.

64443 | Logic behind battery icon and 50% charging in android emulator | As per the answer on Android StackExchange, one can change battery capacity within range [0,100]. But emulators runs in the host machine, so one can assume that the emulator is always charged unless the host machine runs out of battery/power source. Is the number 50 in 50% charging arbitrary? On the other hand, I tried setting the battery capacity below 5%, but it didn't generate **battery low** notifications. When it was set to 0%, it didn't shut down like the real Android device. Is the battery icon redundant in emulators, just like the Easter Egg? |

81749 | Why do launchers not support all widgets? | Why is it, that when you attempt to add widgets to two different launchers on the same device, that each launcher seems to present a different list of available widgets? There are always some widgets available to both launchers but others are available only to one or the other. For example, I have just purchased an LG G3 and quite like the look of its Home launcher. But it doesn't seem to offer shortcuts like Nova launcher does so I thought I could simply recreate the look of the Home launcher in Nova launcher, but most of the widgets that were on the Home launcher desktop by default are not available to Nova launcher. |

64449 | Unable to connect phone to normal Wifi networks after using corporate WiFi | I use my office network which is a Corporate WiFi set-up secured with 802.1x (and requires me to use my company credentials - Username and Password). But when I'm back home and try to connect my home WiFi router which is protected by WPA/WPA2 PSK security (which requires just a password), I can't get it connected automatically (even if I have the network remembered). All I can do to fix it currently is; * Restart my home router several times. * Restart my phone for 2-3 times. * Forget all remembered WiFi networks on phone. and only after above steps it can connect, otherwise I get **Authentication Problem** as error if I try to connect. I'm on Android 4.2.1 (almost stock android, just some custom icons by vendor) device running on MediaTek chipset (MTK6589T), Micromax Canvas Magnus A117 to be specific. While this same problem is with my other friends as well who use our company network at office in their phones (which are varied from Samsung, Sony, and even Nexus). What can I do to avoid this daily hassle when I return home and connect home WiFi? |
