41553 | How to fix Facebook (Build 14...), download manager process on Samsung Galaxy S2 | I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Model Number (SGH-I727R), running Android 4.1.2. The problem that I am encountering is that there is this Facebook (Build 14....) thing that is running in my drop down menu. Unfortunately, that is all I can read on it because the rest of the brackets are cut off. It looks like it is trying to download something. When I hold my finger over it to get info, it says Download Manager version 4.1.2, followed by a long model number. I am not sure how to end this process or get it to finish whatever it is trying to do. I've tried restarting my phone, uninstalling Facebook and then re-installing it. The problem still persists. Please help me. It's just really annoying to constantly see that downloading icon running all of the time, and nothing is happening. |
39625 | Music covers aren't shown correctly | I have copied my mp3 files to my new Google Nexus 7 (Android 4.2.1) via USB into the Music folder. It can be played with _Google Play Music (version 4.5.910l.560208)_ , but it is always showing one and the same cover for any track. This problem also shows up with other music players such as Rocket player. In VLC and iTunes on my PC the mp3 covers are just displayed fine! Do I have to change something on my mp3's in order to display the covers correctly on that device or is there some kind of bug in the mp3-decoder? I couldn't find such a problem report in the web, so my assumption would be that there might be something wrong with my mp3 files. Thanks in advance ... |
39626 | Connecting phone to PC internet using Connectify | I am trying to connect my phone running ICS to my PC running Windows 7 to the internet using Connectify. Everything goes fine except when the phone tries to connect to my laptop wifi hotspot, it gets stuck at `obtaining IP address` . I tried to set the ip address to static in android but now it says connected but actually the phone is not connected to the internet. As a `static IP and DNS1`, I set the address provided for the connectify network created in windows. I set the network length to 24 cuz without setting any value for network length, I wasn't able to save the setting in my phone. How can I solve this problem? |
39621 | on grid view, when updating an app, this one is taken at the end of the grid | In the app drawer, when an application is updated, its icon goes to the last page, in the last free place... Is that normal? Is there a way to make the application stay where I put it? I mean, I sort everything in folder, but after some days (and some updates) many apps are taken to the last page, outside the folder... This is annoying... This happens on **Samsung S2** **Android 4.0.3** I try to explain it better: in the app drawer, i have a lot of apps, i usually order them in "pages" and each page in folders, so i would like to have the page with all the folders containing all the "work apps" such as google drive, the email client, some editors and so on, then, i've got another page, with all the folders for all the games, i mean, i've a folder with arcade games, with 3d games and so on... now, after few days in this fantastic order, some of those applications get updated, automatically, by google play, you know, when there is that notification "application xxxx is been updated!", you know what i mean. well, when this happens, that particular application is deleted from the folder it belongs, and i found her in the last page, in the last free place, the example i've made has 2 pages, one for work apps, and one for games, if something gets an update, i'll find that app in the games pages, outside any folder, hanging around and looking at me... :D |
39623 | Android ADB Shell Recovery Mounting | *Question: I need assistance mounting an Android phone's internal data using the Android ADB Shell while the unit is connected via USB and in recovery mode. How do I form a proper mount command? See below for more detailed information. *FYI: I have experience developing with the Android SDK using Java/XML. I have found little documentation for the Android ADB Shell for my purpose. I have a Samsung GT-i9000 Android phone with a smashed screen. Screen is black, and unresponsive to touch. The phone does not have USB debugging enabled or USB auto mount enabled. I cannot simply plug the phone via USB to access the desired files (photos, and other internal data). I unfortunately cannot confirm the OS version. The phone has no SD Card, all the desired data is on the internal board. The phone is not rooted. *What I've tried: Doing some research I have booted the phone into recovery mode using the three button method (VolUP + Home + Power) and managed to access the device using the "adb devices" command on my Win 7 machine. It displays as "recovery". This is the only way I have been able to make the computer recognize the device via USB. I've tried Kies, and androidscreencast with no success. I have been able to use the "pull" command to access all the Android system files from the phone. I presume this is because recovery mode only mounts the required system files for updates/repairs and doesn't bother with the internal data. Using the mount command I can see what I consider to be the paths to the files I am looking for: $ mount mount rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0 none /acct cgroup rw,relatime,cpuacct 0 0 nodev /tmp tmpfs rw,relatime 0 0 /dev/block/stl6 /mnt/.lfs j4fs rw,relatime 0 0 tmpfs /mnt/asec tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755,gid=1000 0 0 none /dev/cpuctl cgroup rw,relatime,cpu 0 0 /dev/block/stl9 /system rfs rw,relatime,vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset= utf8 0 0 /dev/block/stl3 /efs rfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx, iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/block/stl11 /cache rfs rw,relatime,vfat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset= utf8 0 0 All my efforts to mount fail, usually with a usage suggestion: $ mount rootfs / /mnt/ rw 0 0 mount rootfs / /mnt/ rw 0 0 Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory |
39622 | Twitter app signs out continuously | I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace running CyanogenMod 7.2.0. The problem is that the Twitter app signs out randomly from time to time. Sometimes it happens in a couple of hours or in a day or so. It's annoying having to sign in almost every time I want to use it. Is anyone having the same problem? How did you solve is? |
39628 | Organizing bookmarks between Desktop and Android | I am trying to manage my bookmarks both on my desktop and on my Android smartphone. My needs are as follows: * I should be able to retrieve my bookmarks wherever I am, for instance on a PC I do not own * there should be an Android client (obviously) * there should be an easy way to add a bookmark from Firefox, for instance a bookmarklet Do you have any suggestions on how to do this? |
71761 | How to regenerate/create adbkey and adbkey.pub from the command line? | I'm starting to mess with Android SDK (on Ubuntu GNU/Linux), and am seeing stuff like running the `tools/android` and its GUI, `adb` or `gradlew` for the first time. So, I'm trying to set this up, and in reading stuff around, I see mention of `~/.android/adbkey` and `~/.android/adbkey.pub`. As far as I understand, these are the automatically generated debug keys - but I cannot tell: are these the same on every computer where the SDK gets installed, or are they different? So I look into `~/.android`, and they are indeed there; and I guess in a moment of madness, I decided to delete them (I guess to see what happens `:)`). Anyways, I soon regretted it, and I tried to look up online how to regenerate them. Unfortunately, I cannot find any explicit reference saying what command I should run, in order to get these file generated/recreated. So that is my question - what tools should I run, to re-generate these keys? * * * EDIT: I tried re-running `sdk/tools/android`, it doesn't reconstruct the keys. Then I tried deleting the `~/.android` folder: rm -rf ~/.android sdk/tools/android ... and after re-running `sdk/tools/android`, the `~/.android` folder _does_ get reconstructed, but _not_ the `adbkey*` files. * * * Answer from comments (better formatted): Ah, found it (via linux - Android Debug Bridge (adb) device - no permissions - Stack Overflow); what I did was: $ sdk/platform-tools/adb start-server * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * $ sdk/platform-tools/adb devices List of devices attached $ sdk/platform-tools/adb kill-server $ ls ~/.android/ adbkey adbkey.pub androidwin.cfg avd cache repositories.cfg sites-settings.cf |
71762 | What package name should I use for a Cyanogenmod theme? | I want to make cm11 theme. But one problem: package name. How does it work? Dialer package has com.android.dialer, so my package could have name eu.mikroskeem.colormelt? |
71764 | Battery drain RATE alert? | i've used multiple generations of Nexus devices, some more stable some less. It seems like there is always some combination of hardware, system image and installed app set that creates a situation where your battery suddenly just drains at a rapid rate. I have seen the battery drop from what i expected 4-6 hours of life down to zero in fifteen minutes in a situation where i really, really needed the battery. Normally you can take action if you notice this : close apps, switch off gps/bt/wifi/camera , shut down services, reboot or whatnot. The really sucky situation is when you DONT notice it and then are left with dead battery. So, wouldn't it be nice to have higher than usual battery drain rate alert ? Havent found an app that would do this, but IMHO that actually should be a system level function. |
71766 | chrome uninstall left behind com.android.chrome[noinfo] apk with active connections | I have an unrooted Samsung Note phone (active service with AT&T). It is almost two years old and became slower and slower. I do not have any unnecessary apps and I mostly use my phone for email and simple browsing. To understand the slowness, I downloaded "Network Connection" (Ref https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antispycell.connmonitor) app and found that the chrome app had 21 active connections maintained all the time (even after reboot). Some of these connections are to *.1e100.net (6 connections) (see screen shot) edge-star-shv-03-sea1.facebook.com la.linkedin.com or 1a.linkedin.com *.amazonaws.com *.akamaitechnology.com *.stumbleupon.net *.softlayer.com *.twttr.com *.cachefly.net I got furious over this weird behavior of chrome and uninstalled chrome. After removal, I rebooted my phone, but there is still a leftover active app now identified as com.android.chrome[noinfo] which continue to maintain the above connections. I am still clueless on what's going on and what type of information is being collected from my phone by these open connections --who is watching and why? Any idea on how to remove the seemingly viral apk com.android.chrome[noinfo] without rooting the device. Please note that this app is not listed by application manager. |
71768 | Flashing and PRL Jumping my ZTE Imperial | So, the ZTE Imperial, nice phone, nice hardware. One annoying issue, I cannot seem to find a solid method of Flashing an Apollo ROM into my current US Cell stock 4.1 android. While there is a bit of how to's they do not point to anything useful about this one particular device. What is the most efficient way to pull this off by either using Ubuntu Trusty based PC or from the device itself? Update: I am also looking for ways to jump a PRL from a separate phone onto this one. A detailed answer that does not link other websites would be a plus. |
71769 | Gmail widget goes empty after a while | I have a Moto G (XT1033) that runs Android 4.4.2. In my home screen I placed the Gmail widget; it works correctly for a while but then it goes empty/unresponsive (like in the screenshot below) and only works when it's removed and added again.  What to do? This started to happen after I needed to do a full reset on my phone. |
12590 | Force all emails to display only the text/plain part | HTML mail is a pain to read on a phone. The screen is too narrow and the images take too long to download. Typically without the images the mail is just useless. HTML mail is only slightly less of a pain on my desktop, but there I can use Mutt and just read the text/plain part if it exists. Is there a way to make my mail client default to reading the plain text part of the mail rather than the HTML part? My mail is on an IMAP server, so I use the default Android mail client. I looked at K9 Mail too but it doesn't seem to have a way to do this either. I don't use Gmail and for a variety of reasons I have no interest in using it even if it solves this problem. Any other suggestions welcome, thanks! |
8045 | Why has speech-to-text stopped working on my phone? | I have an HTC Desire Z with Android 2.2. For some reason my speech to text convertor has stopped working. Everytime the soft keyboard opens up and I press on the small mike button, it says audio problem and closes. Up until yesterday, the phone was fine. What could be the problem? |
8049 | Is there a way to have my device say the callers name when the call is coming in? | I have a HTC Desire Z with Froyo . I am trying to find a way to have my device speak the caller name.

44908 | Google Talk on Android only syncs one-way with gTalk on Desktop? | I use both gTalk on Desktop and Google Talk on Android (phone) - at the same time. However, it only seems to sync from Desktop to Android and not the other way round? At the start of the conversation and providing I stay on the Desktop, messages are received to both devices. Messages I send on gTalk (desktop) appear instantly on Google Talk on Android. The chat history with gTalk (desktop) is automatically emailed to my gmail address. This is good, and means I can instantly pick up the conversation on my phone as I go mobile. HOWEVER, messages I send from the Android app do **not** appear in the gTalk client on my desktop and neither are these messages included in the chat history email to my gmail address. Also, once I continue the conversation in the Android app, the desktop client no longer receives the messages sent to me - they are now only received to my Android device. Is there anyway of "fixing" this? **EDIT:** I have since come across the following question from 2½ years ago, "How do Gmail (desktop) and Talk (Android) chats interact?" - this goes someway to explain _why_ this happens, but that is an old question and I struggle to believe that this behaviour has not been updated in this time. Is there really no other workaround? |

44906 | A few Questions about Recovery | I tried to install ClockworkMod recovery using Rom Manager but my device was not listed on the supported versions. So I tried installing ClockworkMod for a different device using the commands shown here. Now I can't boot into recovery mode, but the phone starts up normally. So I thought of backing everything up before trying anything more with the phone. I found this guide which has instructions on how to back everything up. But my filesystem doesn't have a file /proc/mtd as mentioned there. 1. Can someone point out a way for me to find those partitions? 2. After searching the file system in the phone I came across a file `/cache/recovery/last_log`. Thinking that the file would prove to be useful I have added the contents in this pastebin. Can someone explain to me the contents of the file and how it can be useful to accomplish what is mentioned here? 3. As I have mentioned earlier, due to my efforts to install ClockWorkMod recovery, the phone doesn't boot to recovery mode. Is there a way to use the mentioned data in order to fix that? (Maybe backup the data as mentioned in the link and restore them using some terminal commands using adb?) 4. After looking at the contents, I tired the command `busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 /mnt/sdcard/recovery-test` and it returned the error `mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 on /mnt/sdcard/recovery-test failed: Invalid argument` Can someone explain to me why this happens? |
65058 | Why custom roms are .zip filed than made as .ftf | I am asking about Sony Xperia devices and I dont know this suites other brands or not. The custom roms provided by the ROM cooks were `.zip` files where we need to flash the kernel and then the rom zip to install. Why the roms were not made as a `.ftf` file so that it can be flashed easily via flashtool? |
65052 | A13 Allwinner Camera and Gravity Sensor | I have an A13 Allwinner tablet. Its own ROM was laggy. I found a similar ROM from another tablet comapny and flash it with. It was fine and everything worked perfectly. Now there is a newer version (4.0.4) of said ROM. I flashed the tablet with the new one and Camera and G Sensor doesn't work. I am asking if there is a way to **FIND** the respective drivers and **HOW** to apply them. |
65051 | How to setup K9 Mail properly for free email services offering multiple aliases for same email box? | Tried Googling for a lot of results but did not find any that can show how to setup email accounts that offer using multiple email aliases to users on same email. I am talking mainly about Outlook.com and ability to send from my email account there using different aliases like joedoe@outlook.com or superjoe@outlook.com while all arriving email will arrive to main email box. I also wonder if certain filters can be set up that would establish folders for respective email aliases to keep myself organized) I tried playing with settings, different combinations but nothing worked and brought me errors. * I tried settings like using @outlook.com instead of @hotmail.com or my email address but without @outlook.com or @hotmail.com for my username. * Tried m.outlook.com and snt-m.outlook.com and same with hotmail.com * Tried enabling SSL/TLS security with default port 443 and no security Can anyone suggest me appropriate course of action to setup K9 Mail at least for Outlook.com to be able to use email alias I have there? I think it involves setting up exchange type of account. Thanks. _Android 4.3_ _K9 Mail latest version_ |
65054 | Can you change the runtime on an encrypted phone (KitKat)? | Nexus 5 owner here. Basically, I encrypted my phone a while back while on Dalvik Runtime and recently wanted to give ART a try again (to check app compatibility). The problem is that when I set ART as the default runtime and reboot, it doesn't try to apply to change and reverts back to Dalvik. [it worked fine prior to encryption]. Is this a known/common occurrence (search engines didn't give me much)? Thanks! |

13645 | Is the Google GMail client able to download attachments for arbitrary file types? | I emailed myself an epub the other day and went to the GMail app (v 2.3.5) on my android phone to download it. While it showed me the attachment, I could not figure out how to download it. The email shows a pretty paperclip icon next to it, and at the bottom of email I get another pretty icon with a paperclip. But I cannot click(/press) on it. There is no preview/download button. The menu has no option to download it. So my question is, is it actually possible? I've seen a fair bit on forums suggesting it is not, but those are fairly dated threads. It seems somewhat inconceivable to me that one would not be able to download an attachment - as one person has put it, this seems like a feature shortcoming that is bordering on a bug. An example of what I see is: http://imageshack.us/photo/my- images/703/attachwhat.png/ My phone: Samsung Galaxy S 2 running VillainRom 2.4.2, Gmail 2.3.5, email sent from Thunderbird 3.1.14 on Windows 7. |
13644 | Revert back to factory defaults after rooting and installing CM7 | Rooting your Android and flashing CM7 seems pretty straightforward (SGS2 as an example). I'm a complete notice and notice that you have to replace the recovery partition thingy in the process. Lots of people say doing this invalidates the warranty, understandably. This leads me on to wonder if it's irreversible. Is there a way to completely un-root, put the stock ROM and recovery thingy back onto the handset - so that it is back in the **exact** same state when you opened the box? Are there prerequisites to this, i.e. can I backup the recovery and the ROM before I start rooting, etc, and how? |
69687 | (Android 4.2.2) Sync my contact photos with Facebook? | I'd like to add a contact picture to all of my contacts, but when I first installed Facebook I synced my phone to all of my Facebook friends. I quickly realized this was a mistake as I then had loads of contacts I didn't want, so I removed the Facebook account, and uninstalled the Facebook app. I then re installed the app and this time clicked "sync only my contacts", but this again synced with all of my Facebook friends. If I change the settings to show only the contacts on my sim then I'm back to square one, and none of the contacts have pictures. How can I resolve this? Thanks! |
13641 | Pre-caching limitations and reliability in Google Maps | The latest version of the Google Maps application bundled with Android allows me to pre-cache map areas. Each time a pre-cache a point it saves the map in a 10 km hamming radius of that point. I'm about to take a long vacation in various destination. Can I pre-cache those destinations and reliably use Google Maps there without data connection? Is there a limit to how many areas I can pre-cache (aside from the obvious memory required)? Is the map data guarantee to remain after a few weeks or months, or does it expire after some time? |
69685 | How do I get the maximum video compatibility on my Android device? | I use miniDLNA to stream videos from my Ubuntu computer to my Galaxy tablet running Android 4.4 and BubbleUPNP. Some video files don't play at all. Some play the video, but no sound. It doesn't seem to be just a matter of file format. Sometimes, for example, some `.MKV` files will play fine, and others wont. Some `.AVI` files work, and others don't. All the video files play on my computer without any problem, so I assume it's just a matter of some codecs not being available on my Android device. Or something to do with compatibility. Is there a way I can make my Android device able to play a wider variety of formats, if not _all_ video formats? |

43301 | Why doesn't my phone charge? | Okay, so I already ordered a new battery, but in the mean time. Why won't my phone charge? 1. I have tried every charger/cable in my house and car (over 10 chargers and around 15 cables). 2. Double checked the setups with my tablet to make sure they work. 3. Checked battery temp with a WiFi tether app, shows 27-28 degrees centigrade. Moving so I know it works. 4. Restarted the phone, reseated the battery. 5. Replaced the battery with a brand new one. 6. It is even hesitant to charge when the phone is off. It would show initial charge symbol, then go to the charging animation for 5 seconds and restart. This is the only way to get any juice into my phone by the way. * * * ### Update: If I take the battery out while it's on the charger the screen flickers. At this point if I wiggle the cord I can get the flickering to stop, but I can also get the phone to turn off. So, I bet the solder points on the USB are faulty... |

17347 | How can I watch movies offline on my Android tablet? | How can I watch movies on my tablet (Asus Transformer tablet with Android 3.2) offline? I recognize that this is a very basic question, however, I can not find any step-by-step instructions on this site or online. It is also not clear if any popular sites such as Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu support offline viewing. I think that it would be useful to have step-by-step instructions. If I had the tablet in my hands, I would probably be able to figure something out - even though it is a new device and my first experience with Android. However, my wife has taken it and the children on a trip, and would like to use it for entertainment on the flight home. |
52353 | Copy internal storage from dead phone to new (same model) phone? | Hi Android Enthusiasts! I dropped my Galaxy S3 in water, then pressed some buttons and heard some nasty popping/crackling sounds. hehe Ok, so now I think it's time for a new phone. What I'm thinking is that I can get the exact same model, then copy all the data over (I'm guessing the internal storage is probably not damaged). The question is, how can I do this? I'd like to flash the new phone with the image of the old phone, but the old phone doesn't work so I can't use a simple tool like clockwork to make an image backup. Is it possible to get the data some how? |

64014 | Sony Xperia Z1 Walkman App and Media Go App continue playing song from the position left? | I'm not sure if there's already a feature like this but I'm wondering whether it is possible to make communicate Sony's Walkman application and Media Go application which is a part of Sony PC Companion Application. The idea came in mind while I was listening music the music in my Micro SD card of Xperia Z1 using the Media Go application via usb. By saying make communicate the two applications, I mean when I unplug the phone from the PC's USB port it will continue the current song from the current time position left but with the Walkman application. The idea can be extended integrating NFC Tags to this cycle and make play the same content from it's current position while getting on the car from the car's stereo. Any ideas? Is there something like this or any attempt of Android implementation? |

64016 | Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - Eye detection on non-native apps? | Although I feel that the eye detection still requires a lot of tweaks and performance improvements by Samsung, I would be more tempted to use it and test it if it worked with non-native apps. For example, although Google Chrome comes pre-installed on the device, the eye detection will not work with it. It would also be nice if the feature worked with messaging apps such as HandCent SMS. To put it simply - Is there a way for this feature to work with apps you install on the device? |
64017 | Is it possible to disable logcat logging for an application? | Is it possible to disable logging to the logcat for an application (APK) in Android entirely. Since i make heavy use of my logcat output, I'd like to see only bits that are relevant to me but there are a lot of apps that write to the logcat, it is quite cluttered. I would simply filter the output but it seems that the logcat entries only have the PID for deciding what the application is and the PID is something that changes everytime a process is restarted. |

20871 | How to force Android 2.3 to believe that there is networking? | (unsatisfied by answers in "Let Android believe it is connected to internet", they more about "how to set up networking") The android device is connected to the Internet though my laptop over Wi-Fi in ad-hoc mode, not from any Android interface, configured from console (Android thinks that it is offline: both wifi and data transfer indicators are off). All console tools, browsers, etc. see the network, but Google things (like Google Talk) show "Network currently unavailable. Will connect automatically when available" and [seems like] doesn't even try if the network is _really_ unavailable. Google Market shows pages, but silently fails to download anything in this state. How to explicitly tell Android that "there is network" without turning on Wifi or mobile networking? |

16697 | Map internal Wi-Fi strength? | I'm a system administrator for a school division, and we are upgrading our Wi- Fi network. Is there a way that I can map the strength of the Wi-Fi signal at different places inside a building (where GPS does not work)? I have used some stumblers -- Wi-Fi Analyzer and Meraki Wi-Fi Stumbler -- and those really do most of what I need, but I'd really like to see things on a map. I've tried some standard wardriving applications -- such as WiGLE Wi-Fi Wardriving and Wi-Fi Map Maker - Free -- and they just don't really work without a GPS coordinate. I'd be more than happy to snap a photo of a building map and indicate where I am at different places and be able to see, say, a heat-map of the signal strength (and better still if I could see if by BSSID). I'd also be find with using the phone as a collection device and analyzing the data later on the computer. Is there a way to map the Wi-Fi signal strength at different places in the buildings I'm providing Wi-Fi service to? |
16698 | Securing a young child's tablet | My wife has decided to get the kids a set of android tablets for christmas. These are Coby Kyros 4GB wi-fi only models. The kids are ages 6-10 so I don’t particularly want to let them have free reign of the internet or the app stores. I also want to make sure the tablets are protected from the various forms of malware. Ideally I would like to be able to establish a white list for the websites they are allowed to visit, and make it so that they are not able to add any apps or modify the white list without parental intervention. However I am not familiar enough with the android platform to know where to start on any of this. Google has helped me find out that apps exist which claim to be able to restrict access to other apps, but almost all of them have comments indicating that they are very easy to bypass. Likewise I have been seeing mixed reviews as to the effectiveness and value of the antivirus options that are out there. So far I have not been able to find anything about building a whitelist, or restricting content accessible from the web. So I am asking for suggestions as to specific topics/apps that I should be reading up on, and/or other approaches that I can take to reach these goals. EDIT: I should note that this model does not come with the android market pre installed, it has some third party app store on it. It does come with an apk manager installed, and I have played with one of them enough to get the market and gmail onto it. So I should be able to get most anything installed/removed if I can figgure out what it is I actually need to do. |
45628 | All my apps crashing upon startup, black screen | I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 with a flashed ROM Gingerbread (Kyrillos) and Kernel (EX Kernel). When i power on my phone it loads up to the lock screen, but it just shows a blank screen And i'm prompted to force close on every single app over and over. The only thing i can do Is access my phone in disk mode on my PC. I have tried removing the SD Card, Clearing all the cache files in Recovery but it still doesn't fix the problem (Second Time this has happened) It is very annoying as to why this happens, i wasnt even using my phone at the time, it was just charging. Is there any possible way of fixing this without a reflash or format? |
45629 | What Android versions have captive wifi detection? | A _captive Wi-Fi_ or _captive portal_ being a Wi-Fi network that redirects all websites to a page, usually with a form to log in, enter a code, or accept some T&Cs. My samsung-nexus-10 can detect when I've connected to a network with this behaviour, and brings up a notification to tell me, but my old htc-desire can't. When was this feature introduced? |
10566 | My phone has an error when I want to delete drafts, what should I do? | So, here's the problem: when I want to delete drafts from HTC Wildfire S, I go to drafts and press the three-line-button, which always offers more options. It says "Delete drafts". I press that and it says that there's an error and that I should either force close everything, or report it to HTC. I can delete drafts by opening them and selecting discard from the menu, but I don't want to do that every time, and the lag is just irritating. What should I do? Does someone have the same problem? Thanks in advance! |

42161 | Android: Delay dropbox upload intentionally | Is might seem an odd question for some.. But I often find myself wishing that dropbox would wait 5-10 minutes before uploading my newly taken photos. The reason is that sometimes I take a blurry picture and delete it straight away - but dropbox alwas snap it before an upload it to my dropbox. So I have to delete it on my dropbox.. I actually think that what I need would be total sync - so deleting on my phone would delete on dropbox. But I feel that this solution would be too risky.. so would just be happy with a delayed upload that just upload what I have in my camera folder. Any such solution? |

42166 | Jelly bean screws up Droid 4 keyboard layout | The Droid 4 physical keyboard has had driver/software issues forever, but this update takes the cake. Pressing shift-period and shift-comma no longer produce colon and semicolon as advertised, but instead greater-than and less-than. Is there any way to fix this? Also, in Dolphin browser the keyboard is even more broken—the symbol key acts as a second space bar and holding a key makes it repeat instead of offering alternatives. Help! edit: following directions elsewhere I did a factory reset. The keyboard now seems to work okay everywhere except Dolphin, where the shift key doesn't latch, the capslock key doesn't work, and the symbol key is still a spacebar. Edit 2: The latest Dolphin beta has the same problem. Edit 3: Actually, Dolphin, Chrome, and the plain browser all have this problem. Firefox does not. DroidEdit does not, Gmail does not. |

16967 | Why do some games ask for calling/SMS permissions? | More and more Android apps (games to be specific) require permissions to make calls. Some of them also require permission to send SMS, read bookmarks, history, etc. What is the explanation for this? I mean, why would a game need to have those permissions? If it is some software which provides anti-theft support or a voice/video app or something I understand, but games? Is there some logic which I am missing or are the game developers asking too much? |
53097 | Why/ How do some manufacturers remove the Encryption option? | I've owned two Android tablets now - one a no-name cheapo device (running 4.1.1); the other a more mainstream Asus Memopad HD 7 (4.2.1). Neither have had the "System" -> "Security" -> "Encrypt Data" option; that is, the option is simply _not there_ , rather than being present but greyed out. I'm really disappointed and, above all, bewildered by this: what motivation has a company for removing such a useful feature when it comes built into stock Android? What other devices have people used that don't have this feature? ~~As an addendum: does anyone know of any e-mail clients that will encrypt all your e-mail and passwords _as they are written to disk_ , so that if the device falls into "enemy hands", as it were, they won't be able to read them, even if they have root access? I'm thinking specifically as a workaround for the confusing lack of whole device encryption, here.~~ Thanks! |
52684 | Fail in restoring whatsapp chats | I followed the steps below to restore whatsapp chats: 1) on my old phone, I backed up my chats to SD card 2) Insert the SD card on the new phone 3) Moved the whole whatsapp folder to the new phone from the SD card 4) Install whatsapp on new phone and register and then it said there is a backup file founded, asked if I would like to restore it. 5) I clicked restore, so whatsapp processes.... for around 1-2 minutes, whatsapp quits itself, prompts "Unfortunately, whatsapp has stopped" The whatsapp version on both my old and new phone is the same.. So how can I restore my chat history? Thanks! |
52685 | Galaxy S3 Wifi no internet on Comcast/xfinity router | Brand new stock Samsung Galaxy S3 will connect to Comcast-provided wireless router (Arris brand), but cannot get out of local network - I can ping other devices on the network, and I can even browse the admin page of the router, but cannot get on the internet. Other devices work fine. I've tried turning off security. I don't seem to have the disconnect problems others have reported - the connection is consistent. Oddly, I don't see the S3 listed in the "connected devices". If I run ifconfig wlan0, it shows the IP address, netmask but no gateway. I can set a static IP, but I still am unable to get internet. I can connect to other wireless networks without problems. Any ideas? Yes, other devices can connect - couple of laptops, kindle, wife's phone, my old phone (both androids) and ipad.. |
52686 | Transfering contacts from one Android smartphone (with smashed screen) to another | So my mother in law used to have an Huawei ideos X3 (U8510) and due to an unfortunate event the screen of her smartphone got smashed. That wouln't be a big issue if it wasn't for the fact that she wasn't saving her contacts in the cloud on google servers, she was saving them only on the phone. Since her screen is unresponsible to touches, I can't get her contacts into the google cloud. I gave her my old Samsung Galaxy S with CyanogenMod but I can't get her contacts over there. What I did so far is, root the Huawei phone through adk to gain access to all files and databases. So far so good. I extracted the database with the contacts (contacts2.db) and overwrote the contacts2.db from the Galaxy S, which resulted into major force closes when opening the contacts app. Any other suggestions? She needs her contacts badly. |

52682 | Should I update those pre-installed programs that I never use? | There are quite a number of applications that came pre-installed onto my phone when I bought it. I am unable to uninstall any of these without rooting my phone. Every now and then, Google Play will send me notifications of new updates for these software. Some of these, such as Gmail, YouTube and Hangouts belong to Google, others belong to third parties linked to my telco. Whenever I perform an update on an application, I have to go through a list of App permissions and decide whether to grant those permissions. Some of these may request permission to access my address book, others may request certain controls on my Android system. These are privacy issues as well as security issues that I supposed many people will be facing. In any case, how should one deal with these "unwanted" programs? |
12270 | How can I find why I'm using so much data on mobile network? | According to my provider, I've used 6.8MB of data within 3 days. The thing is, I don't know how. I've installed DroidWall and WiSync and only used Waze (a navigation app). I installed Traffic Monitor which shows Waze using less than 800KB and other apps even less (some of them used traffic before I setup DroidWall) Any clues as to what is using 6MB?? |
12273 | Is There *Any* Way To Increase Internal Memory? | Ok, even to me this question sounds stupid but I let's just go with "the only dumb question is the one not asked". I have nearly 14Gb free on my SD card but the Motorola Droid only has 128Mb internal so I am constantly fighting "low memory" warnings. I have moved every app that I can to my SD card. This is not only a hassle, for some apps (*cough*AnythingGoogle*cough*) I have to choose to either have Widget functionality or sacrifice my precious internal space. **Question** : Is it physically possible for me to upgrade this internal memory? Although I believe answering that question will cure my woes, I will open it further to ask: Do you have a recommendation on what I could do differently (other than _just delete your crap!_ ). As I said, I have plenty of (SD) space so I find it asinine to have to make sacrifices because of these short-sights in this phone's design (after all, who would _ever_ have an app larger than 1k, right? You'll never come close to using 128Mb...). |
53554 | ADB on Ubuntu does not recognize Nexus 4 | I'm unable to get my Nexus 4 phone recognized by ADB on Ubuntu (12.04 with a newer kernel installed: 3.8.0-30-generic).

I found many posts on the internet about this problem but none of them solves the problem. There are two solutions. * Add a rule to _/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules_. I found various variation for the content of this file. In most cases a _idVendor_ and _idProduct_ value should be set based on the output of _lsusb_.

63240 | Custom Alarm sounds removed? | This is what I am currently running: Verizon Motorola Droid 4 Android Version 4.1.2 System Version 98.72.189.XT894.Verizon.en.US Last update Nov 21 2013 Prior to this Nov 21st update, I was able to set a custom ringtone, notification, and alarm on my phone. Custom meaning I can upload a sound file of my choice and have my phone play it. After the update, I am still allowed to set a custom ringtone and notification, however I am prohibited from setting a custom alarm sound. Is it possible to still choose my own alarm sound **without** rooting or installing an app?' _Note: Previous question/answers don't concern this update or suggest installing a third party app._ EDIT: To change alarms, I go to: `Apps -> Clock -> Set Alarm -> Settings`. When choosing an alarm sound, I am only allowed the default selection from the phone, whereas with ringtones and notifications (in `System Settings -> Sound`), I am able to select from my custom made sound files. |
63241 | Where is the temp file of recorder in Android? | Galaxy Note2 4.3 Samsung firmware. Recording for 1 hour with the highest quality, accidentally pressed "back" button, nothing saved. Usually the file would be saved automatically even if "back" is pressed. But maybe 1 hour is too big for the simple recorder app. Any chance that there is a tmp file somewhere? Or recorder just stores everything in DRAM before hitting save button?(that would be too naive..) Thank you |

63248 | Nexus 5 touch response is slow while charging | My problem is simple. Touch response of my Nexus 5 is very slow while charging. I can't even unlock the pattern while charging. I need to draw it very slowly. My OS is Android 4.4.2. I have been charging from Laptop USB port. **I am seeing this issue for the first time on my mobile. I have used it while charging before.** I am charging with **original USB cable** that comes with phone. I also tried USB cable of my old nokia C5. Both responds similarly. (Earlier both worked fine). **I checked it in safe mode and problem still exists.** **UPDATE 12-Feb-2014:** 1. The above-mentioned problem occured when I connected my phone to laptop USB via stock USB cable in my **college lab**. After reaching home, the phone works fine, both in USB charging and AC charging. 2. I tried charging with both USB and AC power in my lab. And the problem exists. I even tried them with Debugging mode turned off and problem is still there. _So I strongly suspect some problem with AC power supply in my lab. Anyway to check it?_ Does anyone face this issue? Any fixes? |
21479 | How can I change the behavior of the volume buttons vs. the orientation of the screen | On the Acer Iconia A200, when you change the orientation of the screen, the function of the volume rocker flips. In landscape mode, with the volume rocker on the right side and at the top, you find that 'down' on the rocker turns down the volume. Now, flip the device 90 degrees left to a portait orientation, with the volume rocker on the top left. Now the same press that was 'down' before is 'right' and it turns the volume UP. In other words, the action of the volume rocker is sensitive to the orientation of the device. I haven't found any way to control this yet in the settings - is there any way to change this behavior? I'll eventually get used to it, but for the moment it's driving me batty. Added: After seeing Zuul's answer talking about the gpio_keys.kl file, AND getting a bluetooth keyboard, I did some experimenting. When using a bluetooth keyboard, the bluetooth vol up/down buttons are independent of tablet orientation. So either some bit of software checks where the key is coming from and remaps or not as appropriate, OR the swap is happening at some lower layer (i.e. before it becomes a key code). |
