12416 | Can I install CyanogenMod in Samsung Galaxy I5510? | Hello I have a Galaxy I5510 and I''ve reading about ROMS. I'd like to try CyanogenMod but my phone isn't in the list of supported phones, is there anything I can do? If not (which I assume) which ROM would you recommend? I'm looking to get extra functionality. If I don't like some ROM I installed I can uninstall it and go back to the default ROM or any other, right? Also, I'm kind of scared.. If I get to root my phone without troubles, can installing the ROM break it or my only risk is with the rooting? |

50833 | URL to promote your app on facebook/twitter | I am thinking about adding facebook/twitter buttons in the apps I'm creating, but one thing has been puzzling me. The URLs of my apps are of course Google play URLs, like this: market://details?id=com.mycompany.mygame but if I promote this URL in a facebook message or tweet then the receiver of the message will only be able to click on the URL if they happen to be looking at it on an Android device, if they're not, they will get an error report from their browser. I could instead point to the market web URL like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycompany.mygame But it feels rather clumsy. So my question is this: - is there a way to tweet or facebook-like an app in a way where the receiver of the message will see the most appropriate URL for their device? |

65573 | Internal storage durability | I am about to build an app which needs to use device internal storage memory extensively, a lot of reads, writes and overwrites of the files.

49048 | Android 4.1 with Bluetooth keyboard | Do I need to install an application to use a Bluetooth keyboard with an Android 4.1.2 phone? I am using a Droid Bionic and with an Anker K1280C keyboard ( an Apple keyboard clone). I can pair the phone with the keyboard, but the Bluetooth keyboard does not show up in the input method selection list. I have tried a few applications which do expose a keyboard in the input methods list and connect to the Bluetooth keyboard (BlueKeyboard JP and Blue Input). They allow most of the keys to work, but the key map is not completely correct. I am under the impression that Android 4.0 should not need an special applications to use a keyboard. Is this correct? |

46543 | Adjust magnetic auto-lock sensitivity | I just bought a case for my Nexus 10 tablet (EasyAcc Smart Cover), but it seems the magnetic auto-lock sometimes thinks the cover is closed when the cover is flipped to the back side, behind the device. This especially happens when holding the tablet open in my hand, and it's easy to accidentally adjust the position of the cover on the back. Since this false positive condition doesn't always happen, I'm guessing a simple sensitivity change might be enough to make the auto-lock feature of the cover work proprely. Another possible fix could be to have some sort of delay, os that when the system detects the lid as "closed", it'd wait for a few secs to see if it stays in closed state, and only then put the device to sleep. **Is there a way to adjust the magnetic auto-lock sensitivity?** _(Nexus 10 tablet, running Android 4.2.2)_ |
46541 | Backup Link2sd ext4 partition, resize it and restore | I have messed the ext4 partition resizing it with Gparted, it still works but shows the old size and Link2sd doesn't seem to be able to link all the pieces. I was wondering if I could backup the content with Titanium or other, format the partition at the correct size with Gparted and then restore the content to the new larger partition. I know the ext4 cannot be resize but I guess that it can be deleted and created again, what I am not sure if there is something in the current ext data that is dependent on the size of it. I think that is why I should not be doing a backup image directly but instead backup the files individually. |
64195 | /system/xbin/sh high cpu usage | I'm using OS Monitor to look at CPU usage because I've noticed a drastic performance decrease lately. The app shows that `system/xbin/sh` is consuming anywhere from 10% to 70% of the CPU. This happens constantly, the process never stops appearing at the top of the list. I have a two questions: 1.

64194 | How to recover a System partition that won't mount | A relative of mine brought me his _Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9190_ , which is stuck at boot. When I boot into recovery it gives the error `Failed to mount /system (invalid argument)`. How can I dig through the file-system of an android phone which doesn't boot, except in Recovery? The goal is not to flash it but to recover the data if possible. I don't mind rooting or flashing, but I don't want to overwrite the system partition that may still have the valuable info on it. I've managed to install clockworkmod according to these instructions. **Is there a way to mount it, or expose the raw device to USB, or just back it up to SD, _without_ overwriting it?** **EDIT:** Now I have Clockworkmod installed.

64190 | How do I REALLY sync ALL contacts to a new phone | I have an old phone (LG P350) with Android 2.2.2, where I obviously have a few contacts. Most of them are contacts with telephone numbers, which I manually created (few got automatically imported from facebook or email). Now I have a new LG phone with Android 2.3.6. I want to have on the new phone all the contacts I had on the old one. I mean the contacts that you see when you tap on the Contacts icon. It should be a complete no-brainer, but apparently it isn't. Note: I don't use the GMail application neither on the old phone nor the new one, and I don't want to. I do have my @gmail.com account set as the main account for both phones. On both the old and new phone, under Settings -> Accounts and Sync, the "Auto- sync" option is enabled. Also, under the ...@gmail.com account listed below "manage accounts", I have enabled both "Sync people details" and "Sync contacts", both on the new and old phone. However, my contacts don't get synced. I have a lot of contacts in the old phone that I can't find in the new one. The new phone apparently has imported all the mess of useless contacts from gmail (i.e. email addresses some with and some without names) but no phone numbers. So how do I sync, or export and then import ALL my contacts? |
64192 | How to figure out which app changes pulse notification light in system settings? | The nexus 5 has this "pulse notification light" that blinks when the device is sleeping and you receive an email, sms or something like that. I don't like it, so I turned it off in Settings > Display by unchecking "pulse notification light" That works all fine for a couple of days/weeks but then suddenly the pulse notification light is back! And if I go to Settings / Display the checkbox is checked again! So one of my installed apps must enable this notification light again. I want to figure out which app does that (most likely it is sms, mail or a chatting app). I guess notification light can only be enabled if the app has the System Settings permission, or is maybe the Vibrate permission enough? What is the best way to figure out which app actually made changes to my System? Is this logged somewhere? |
52521 | How can I rename a removable SD card, or create a folder on it. Permission Denied | I am not a programmer, I am a 'user'. I have bought a FonePad and added a 32GB SDHC card, naively thinking I could use it to store the maps I will need on a storage-hungry navigation software. However, I find I cannot rename the device from Removable, I get the message 'Permission Denied'. Same result when I try to create a subfolder. Same result if I try using a utility like SDCard Manager or Card Manager HD. Coming from a Windows world, I am just completely lost. Take SDCard Manager for example: when running it says that it has *Storage -- Modify or delete the contents of your SD card. I note that SD card is the 'built-in' device. |

52522 | Galaxy Note 2 screen problems | I'm experiencing a spot of trouble with my N7105 Samsung Galaxy Note 2 device. It boots up just fine, the screen works absolutely flawlessly for a few minutes, but then the problems start to appear. The screen progressively develops black bars, it stops refreshing in places, beginning from the bottom of the screen and moving upwards, and before too long the entire screen is covered in random noise. Now, since this problem only manifests after the device has been turned on for some time, it makes sense to me if it were an overheating problem. I've pulled the phone apart and have thoroughly cleaned the cables and connectors to the motherboard with ethanol, but it doesn't seem to have improved the situation much. If anyone has any kind of experience with this kind of problem, please report back. |

17137 | eBooks from Amazon Market or from Android Market? | I have finally succeeded at Rooting and installing Android Market on my Fire, but now I'm wondering if there are any complications with using both the Market and Amazon to purchase ebooks. ## Scenario Say that I want to purchase an eBook and that book is available in the Android Market and the Kindle Market for the same price. I need to build some foundation in order to make a decision, here are my concerns: ## Concerns 1. Does an eBook from Android market have a different format than a Kindle format eBook? 2. If so, Which one should I buy looking forward? Android Market seems to be more open while Amazon even though they are using Android they follow closed practices similar to Apple. However, Amazon is a big book seller and a strong innovative technology company. 3. I also have a lot of books in PDF format. Which app do you guys recommend for reading PDF from Kindle or any other Android device? 4. Which is the best app for reading **mobi** format eBooks? |
52526 | Improving HTC Sensation XE somehow | I have an HTC Sensation XE and the smartphone is becoming slower and worse every day, expecially compared to my Nexus 7 and Samsung Tab 2. Android on the phone is slow and lagged ( I have to wait even 6-7 second after clicking somewhere), the battery depletes very fast and the phone itself becomes very hot if I do something "intensive" like using google maps. the Android version on the phone is 4.0.3 and as far as I know, there is no update. What can I do to improve the phone? It's market value makes it not worth to sell and it is still working, so I would like to find a way to fix it somehow, what can i do? I like a lot the vanilla Android of the Nexus 7, there is any way that I can put a plain android on the HTC, keeping all the functionalities? I dont care of Htc Sense, but I want to be able to use the camera, 3g, wifi, GPS and so on. Maybe some kind of reset would be enough to bring it bask to it's best days? |

60437 | SuperSU rooting issues | I just rooted my phone and after rooting there was a ap called **superSU** that came with the root, and I guessed this app allowed me to give other apps the root access, but everytime I try to open the ap it says "the sun binary needs to be updated, continue?" And it gives me two options: 1. **"normal" update** , but everytime I click on it it says _update failed_. 2. **twrp/rwm** : everytime I click on that option out says it sol reboot my device but then nothing changes. I tried to unroot my phone but the application itself is still installed. Any ideas on how to uninstall it? |

28284 | Move Nokia Backup (NBF) contents to Android Phone | Recently I started using Android phone (Samsung Galaxy Y Duos) with Gingerbread. Prior to this switch I was using Nokia 6303c (S40 Device). Before I exchanged my Nokia for this phone I had made a backup using 'Sync & Backup' option provided by Nokia on phone onto its memory card. I had to do this as I did not have access to Nokia Suite to sync/backup contents to PC at that point in time. Now I am not able to find any way to get the contents stored in .NBF file to my Android phone. Does anyone here know about any solution? Looks like NBUExplorer can open only .NBU files created by Nokia Suite. Fortunately I could get all my contacts as they were synced a week before to a virtual machine running Windows (I use Ubuntu as my primary OS). However message sync had failed that time and I could not sync calendar as I do not have MS Outlook on virtual machine. Now I need a way to retrieve those messages and calendar entries. |
64223 | How to factory reset android (4.1) tablet without boot menu? | My 8-year old son have a Denver TAC-76001, he loves testing settings etc. After setting a pin-code password he cannot recall the code. Since we cannot start the tablet I have tried make a factory reset without success. This is what I have tried: 1. Shut it down. 2. Press power and Vol + (or Vol -) until the boot android robot is displayed. ( at this point there is no (visible) boot menu ) 3.1. Press Vol + (or Vol -) as if there was a menu and press on/off as enter- option. No success - pin-code needed. 3.2. Wait about a minute (which leads to reset according to a youtube-clip) until it restarts - pin-code needed. 3.3. Download firmware for the tablet, follow the instruction in order to format and re-install. No success - nothing happens when I try to format the tablet. Now I am out of ideas... * New ideas, tools etc. are warmly welcome! Regards! * * * I moved the problem from stackoverflow.com since this seems to be a more accurate forum. |

48395 | Snapshots suffer from Short Term Memory Loss? | I have seen that despite repeatedly saving to snapshot, periodically (once in about 3 attempts to launch from snapshot) I get the error: > emulator: ERROR: Unable to load VM from snapshot. The snapshot was saved for > a **different** hardware configuration This forces me to go the old way (boot and wait 150-200 seconds) again try saving to snapshot and then launch. This phenomenon has been happening for quite some time now. That said, I have settled for a system configuration (after all the only change in configuration from the default is that in the preferred setting all IMEs are disabled). That is it. No system apps installed like Google Play, etc. No system apps removed either. I have not changed the system/hardware configurations for the last one week. I later came to know a command whereby the emulator can load from snapshot so that on closing it, the SDK doesn't save it to snapshot. Just run emulator -no-snapshot-save -avd Andreud in the terminal. I was relieved since 1. It will be good to not save to snapshot and save processing time, when you know you aren't making any more system/hardware configuration changes. 2. I suspected that there were some unknown aberrations in saving to snapshots sometimes and is what resulted in the error, so avoid it rather than cure it. Yesterday I discovered that the problem persisted! It persists to this day! What amazes me is that when I **no longer write** to the snapshot image, it still **forgets** the configurations stored in the snapshot so soon! I even tried to do it after freeing up RAM space by running solely the emulator and none else! Any help to rectify this is welcome. P.S.: I have given `-no-boot-anim` option to the `emulator` command as well. So if not loading from snapshot, at least the boot happens in less time. |
48396 | Calling address book contacts in Skype 4 | I've just updated to the new Skype 4 on my Nexus 4. I regularly use Skype to call numbers saved in my phone's address book contacts, but can't find where to do this in the new version. The previous version of Skype 3.2 had an address book icon at the top right (as seen here) but this is missing in the new Skype 4 (as seen here). Is there no longer a way to call my phone's address book contacts without adding them as a Skype contact as well? I'd rather not set Skype to sync my contacts as I regularly jump back and forth between personal & work accounts. |
42643 | How to fix Cyanogenmod 7 hanging on boot animation after NO firmware changes | I've been using my Google Nexus S with Cyanogenmod 7 for about a year now. Sometimes it rebooted out of the sudden or locked up but all in all worked well. Today I rebootet the phone und since then it hangs during boot at the animation with the rotating circle. **How do I fix the phone and get it booting again?** Unlike many issues I found on the web I did not play with the firmware recently. Unfortunately it's been quite long since the last backup. **I need to dig my data from the device.** Ways acceptable for me to go: 1. analyzing and fixing the issue 2. getting all my data and install new firmware (while updating to CM10) **Analyzing the issue** I installed the Android SDK on my computer (for `adb` and `fastboot`) and successfully ran ClockworkMod Touch Recovery image which proves the the phone hardware is actually fine. Copying files from the `/sdcard` directory worked and I could open a shell but `adb logcat` doesn't work for me. The program keeps "waiting for device". This is what I had done before: * phone hung and restarted by removing and reinserting battery * date and time were set to 2005-01-01 00:00, reset (never had that before) * installed or updated several apps through F-Droid app "store" * installed And Bible * updated Barcode Scanner * maybe updated/installed something else, but can't remember because I browsed through F-Droid quite a long time and read dozens of app descriptions * status bar crashed, phone still usable but started reboot to get status bar again * Booom! Phone hangs forever on boot animation I have the feeling that the Google logo with the open lock which is displayed before the CM boot animation begins stays longer than before. But I am everything but sure. **Making backup** As I cannot run any backup apps I have difficulties doing a **reliable** backup. I set up my phone not to sync most of my data to Google. Yes, I missed doing regular backups for some time because I find doing so is not elegantly possible with Android (compared to `tar c /home` or even `mksquashfs` or `rsnapshot` on Linux). What I need at least in declining order of priority: 1. calendar 2. contacts 3. some app's data 4. saved wireless credentials What I already got using ClockworkMod Touch Recovery: * copying `/sdcard` with `adb pull` * Running backup from the ClockworkMod Touch Recovery menu -- I have no clue what is actually backed up The ideal way would backup the whole phone so I could install CM10 and retrieve any missing data from the backup or restore the backup to get the current state. Any suggestions? |
42642 | Fast, easy, reliable way to transfer large files between Android devices? (aka. WiFi Direct stories from the field) | I'd like to be able to easily transfer large files wirelessly, fast, between Android devices - preferably without requiring root. As a secondary objetive, it wouldn't hurt if the same solution could be used, to transfer files between the Android devices and a Windows PC. Specifically, I'm trying to exchange files between my Nexus 7 (Android 4.2.2) and Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android 4.0.4). * Bluetooth is simply too slow, so that's out of the question * Transfer via the Internet is also not an option, hence so is cloud-based solutions * Only Nexus 7 supports NFC, so that's out too * Fast File Transfer looked promising and very simple, but does not work on "Devices that don't have WiFi Tethering setting, _such as the Nexus 7_ " Wi-Fi direct (supported from Android 4.0 and up) seems to be a decent lowest common denominator between my two devices, however... Galaxys S2's native **Send via Wi-Fi Direct** sees the Nexus, but seems to get stuck in the "Connecting..." most times. When there finally seems to be breakthrough, I get "Waiting..." and a spinning circle. Even if it worked, it would only allow me to send from the Galaxy S2 to the Nexus 7, as a similar option os not present on the Nexus 7. J4velin's **WiFi Direct** is no longer available in the Play Store, with the following explanation: > WiFi Direct drivers are broken on many devices, which led to users leaving > negative reviews for this app. As I don't see any sense in keeping a free > app published when only getting 1-star-ratings (for an issue which only your > device manufacturer can fix), the app is no longer available at the Play > Store. Nick Adams' **WiFi Direct File Transfer** seems flaky at best. Invations from Nexus 7 to Galaxy S2 are never received. Invitations from Galaxy S2 are mostly received, but even when accepting promptly, the peers doesn't always show as connected. When they finally do, usually after quite a long wait, I can select a file to send but it's never transferred - "Transfer failed" it says almost immediately in the notification bar. budius inc's **WiFi Shoot** is working slightly better, but still very unreliable. I actually managed to (occasionally) send files both ways, but never when attempting connection from the Nexus 7. To send from the Nexus 7 to the Galaxy S2, I had to go through this akward manoeuvre: 1. Share the file on the Nexus 7 via the _WiFi Shoot_ intent 2. Start the _Receive WiFi Shoot_ app on the Galaxy S2 3. Invite the Nexus 7 from the Galaxy S2 (never the other way around!) 4. Accept the invitation on the Nexus 7 5. Press the _Shoot_ button on the Galaxy S2 Take the whole switching back and forth between devices, and garnish with random delays or failures in any step of the process... Is there really no easy, reliable, fast way to transfer files directly between different Android devices? Generally, my experience with Wi-Fi Direct is all but positive... * A device often won't even see a device lying next to it * Sometimes, it will see the other device, only to have it disappear from the list, before I have the chance to connect * When I do have a chance, invations are not realiably received (from Galaxy S2 to Nexus 7 mostly reliable, but never worked the other way around) * When invitations are received (and accepted), a partnership rarely manages to be setup ("invited" or "connecting") * And even when that happens, some apps can't seem to transfer files through it... * ** _Sigh_ *** Maybe J4velin's explanation pretty much sums up the sad state of Wi-Fi Direct on Android, which otherwise seemed as the best solution to my quest? |
48026 | Transferring data (contacts, SMS, call log(s), browser history, application data) from rooted phone | My understanding is that, even with access to the filesystem exported over USB, one still does not have access to SMS data, for example. I have a phone that needs to be sent back to my insurance company (the screen broke and I received a replacement), but it is important that I get the data off of the phone, mainly so that I don't lose it. I've tried a recommended app for saving SMS data on the filesystem with no luck (its output was garbage). Is it impossible to just dump the phone's internal storage, or wherever such things reside, to an external medium for later analysis/extraction? |

48028 | Google Drive app on Nexus 7 doesn't allow offline editing | Okay, so I have a problem. I have a Nexus 7 (rooted, unlocked bootloader, but no other changes to the system). I have a few google documents (native gdoc format, I'm the owner) that I'd like to edit in my spare, off-the-net time. The problem is, when I select 'make available offline' in the application, the document appears in the offline tab, and I can edit it as long as I'm connected to a network. When I disconnect, wham, offline documents are set into read-only mode, I can select text, but I can't do anything else (also, there's that blue-ish bar on the top with ios-like "all docs" button). So, what's going on? I really need to be able to edit some documents when I don't have an internet access. |

I have managed to get this site working in Ios and Windows, but just can't get it working from Android (4.2.2) I have tried many different methods of importing the certificate including converting between formats - I get as far as it being recognised and "installing", but, it never actually seems to get installed or be visible anywhere (checked under trusted credentials > user). I have read here and the only solutions seem to involve downloading/modifying files and reuploading then restarting - or to have modified firmware/similar.... I really want a supported way of doing this and don't really want to consider a hack as I need a scalable solution. |
8936 | Phone won't connect to mobile network | As of yesterday my phone was okay as I know I had a missed call and checked it on voicemail, but today I noticed that it is showing no signal when there should be one. The last thing I know I did was to try *#61# to check the voicemail numbers as I was thinking of setting a longer timeout, but I didn't actually change it. If I go into Additional call settings I get 'Network or SIM card error', but I expect that is linked to the lack of network. However, I wonder if something on the SIM is messed up. I've turned it off/on a couple of times. Also tried a different SIM from a different service and that worked. It there anything I can try resetting? It's an htc Tattoo on Android 1.6. |

8931 | How can you tell whether you are running a official Android program or one modified by your phone maker? | So many times , in this forum , I see answers with descriptions of their phone, contacts or messaging application, with options, settings or feature I don't see on my Samsung Galaxy S. I presume that either I am running a modified version ( made by Samsung ) or the questioner is. But how can you tell ? **How do you know your application is not the stock application of Android** ( btw: _is that the correct term ? stock application ?_ ) If I look at `Settings - Applications - Manage applications - Running`, I see f.i. `Email`. Clicking this tells me it's version 2.2.1. Same with `Dialer`. `Contacts` on the other hand , shows version 1.0. But since no manufacturer info is present , I cannot tell whether this is the official Google software, or some other program. And following that, can you download the stock application from somewhere ? Maybe it's better than the version on your phone ? |

78361 | How to root SNT-210, an Android 4.4.2 chinese CarDVD (no standard methods work)? | The device: * Model SNT-210 * Android 4.4.2-0140516-sntb-HOMEMADE * Kernel 3.0101-gdaab9de-dirty * QDroid@DevServer #9 * Build omnisntb-eng 4.4.2 KOT49H eng.QDroid.20140516.133512 test-keys I found out that my 3g modem is ok (there are modem drivers in Android 4.4.2, Android finds the modem and the usb port the modem is attached to). All the problems probably result from a wrong APN list in \system\etc\apns-conf.xml. In my case there is <apn carrier="PlusGSM" mcc="260" mnc="01" apn="internet" type="default,supl" /> but it should be <apn carrier="Plus" mcc="260" mnc="01" apn="internet" type="default,supl" /> But the next problem is - it is not editable (the device is not rooted). So I need to root the device in order to change APN connfiguration to be able to use 3g modem. And I tried to root the device using a shor tutorial by an XDA user KID52 for a similar device. I connected both: the device and my laptop to a router so that both devices see each other (ping confirms that). I installed ADB ("15 seconds ADB v1.3.exe") on my laptop. Then I tried to connect. In my cmd (laptop) I run C:\Users\Grreg>adb connect 192.168.170.3 * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * unable to connect to 192.168.170.3:5555 C:\Users\Grreg>adb devices -l List of devices attached C:\Users\Grreg>adb tcpip 5555 error: device not found I tried to install adbWireless.apk in the CarDVD device and run the commands again. Without change. I found that in order to use ADB via Wifi / TCPIP you still have to be able to connect with an USB cable. But I can't do it. Neither the CarDVD noticed the connection with 'USB type A plug - USB type A plug' cable, nor laptop. Maybe I am doing something wrong? The device seems to be in ADB mode by default (after clicking "Build number" once in the "About CarDVD" menu it shows "No need, you are already a developer", but there are NO "developer options" in the Settings menu). Is there an alternative way to root the device? Or am I doing something wrong? I'm not sure even how to debug and log everything to search for answers myself. |

59532 | How can I calibrate the tilting sensor on Android | I have some Android mobile which seems to be a Samsung, or at least a clone thereof. I got it form my wife as a present, so I don't really know which one. Under the batterypack it says "Model: 19502" when I look through the menus there are abolsolutely now identifications as to which it is and the settings only allow rather high level stuff, like setting backround images, and similar, but nothing system relevant. When I play games I noticed that the tilt is not correct, so I installed "App Sensor Box" which allows me to test the sensors. It shows a board with a ball on it, and I can see that the ball rolls off when I keep it balanced. Unfortunately this app doesn't allow me to calibrate it, so I wanted to know if such an app exists, or what I can do to calibrate it, because there are not setting to trigger this. The apps I found in PlayStore all seem to just read, but don't change it. |

34276 | Always reminded of an unsuccessful backup | I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace and roughly every hour, I receive a notification that a backup attempt had failed. Could this be due to the fact that I am not connected to the Internet? How can I stop this? EDIT: I have turned off, wifi, 3g, sync, background, data and still the notification appears! How can I turn this off? |
79097 | Can I restore my contacts on new phone | I was using a samsung galaxy s duos cell, which was stolen 2 months back. I now have a new android phone - the Micromax. I thought I lost all my contacts, but somebody insisted that you can restore it using gmail account even though I never manually performed a backup of my contacts. I remember the day when I took the phone, and it asked me for a gmail account. For my profile and I gave "XYZ@gmail.com" and also always "account sync" option was on in my mobile. Now my questions are: 1. Can I still get those contacts restored on my new mobile? I have not manually done a backup, just the gmail account that I set when i got that phone was in sync. 2. If yes, can i get it on Micromax cell also? Thanks in advance |

37892 | Text Messaging: Group Text Message | I have a DroidX running Android 2.3.4. When somebody sends me a text message that goes to other devices too, is there anyway I can tell? Usually the only way I find out is when somebody else does a "reply all" (probably using a newer version of Android), and I get some random message from a number I may or may not recognize. Also, what about when I reply to the message? Does it only go to the person who sent it to me, or does it somehow auto-reply-all behind the scenes? |
37893 | Missing edit icon on Galaxy S launcher | I am trying to change the 4 icons that are along the bottom of the screen on my Samsung Galaxy S.

When I press `Menu` I see: * All programs * Add to home screen * Wallpaper * Search * Notifications * Settings Where is the edit button? |
37895 | How to free up more storage (upgrading to 4.2 made me lose 6GB)? | So this morning, I bought a new game and it required a large file download. I went to download it and a message told me that I had 0mb of space remaining. This seemed odd to me because last time I checked I had plenty of space. I looked at my storage and saw a little over 6GB in Apps and a little over 6GB in Misc. I uninstalled 2 games which both had large files (around 2GB each). After uninstalling, my App storage updated to what is shown in the image (1.82GB). The Misc storage did not change at all after uninstalling the apps. I understand that Android now has a `/sdcard` and a `/sdcard/0` for the multi- user feature. There are many duplicate directories in these two locations. For example, there exists both `/sdcard/Downloads` and `/sdcard/0/Downloads`. The `/sdcard/0/downloads` has all the downloads from _before_ I updated to 4.2, and `/sdcard/downloads` has all the downloads _since_ I updated to 4.2. This makes me think that `/sdcard/0` is like a backup, but from the research I've done, it seems like the multi-user support effects more than just this sdcard stuff that I'm seeing (something about emulated storage). Right now, I am trying to free up as much storage as I can, but I get so confused when going into the file system now. **Questions:** 1. What is this Misc stuff? More specifically, what is the obb and 0 that is taking up all my storage? 2. What can I delete to simplify this mess and free up storage?   |

66263 | Google Play Services and Play Store crashing | I have very little internal memory (user memory 150mb), so after the auto update of Play Service and the Play Store, I took a back up (using ES File Explorer). I have root access, so I pasted those back ups in the `/system/app` folder. After that I restarted my phone, and that's when the problem started. The Play Store opens but can't see a thing, and Play Services crashes every time. What I have done: * I installed 3 version of the Play Store. No positive result. * Installed the latest version of Play Services. No positive result. * Searched many blogs. They say it might happen as not com.android.gapps, but I can see the service running. However, after installing Play Services, both Play Services and gapps are crashing. What can I do? |

24249 | How do I disable receiving calls and messages? | I use my HTC Evo 3D (currently Android 2.3, soon Android 4.0) to record cycling workouts (GPS + Endomondo). During workouts, I don't want to receive any calls / messages for the following reasons: * I don't want to be disturbed when relaxing * I want to conserve the battery * sometimes I listen to music and calls/messages interrupt the music, which I don't like, especially when the calls are business-related during my non-work time How would I accomplish this? The flight mode doesn't allow GPS to be enabled, therefore this isn't a solution. |
66266 | Why no consistent headset control? | I'm a recent convert to Android (I have a Moto X on AT&T) and I'm running into a problem that I never had with my iPhones: the button on my headset sometimes works; sometimes doesn't. It upsets me greatly, especially since I recently purchased a $300 set of Bose headphones (Quietcomfort 20) that are specifically made for Android devices. I've even tried three apps from the Google Play store that purport to make the inline control work—none of them do, however. Why is this happening and, more importantly, how can I fix this? **07/30/2014 EDIT:** So I've been using this Moto X plus QC20 headphones for several months now, using the recommended Klipsch Control app to allow the button on the QC20 to work better. Well, it only seems to work about 50% of the time. I have yet to figure out what is causing the interference, but some days, the button works perfectly. Other days, it will work, but it may take anywhere from 0 to 15 seconds before a button press is actually registered by the Klipsch Control app. It just seems to be completely random. Still other days, the button doesn't work at all. It might have something to do with either the time of day and/or when the headphones are plugged in / removed. For example, one morning, it'll work fine. Then I unplug the headphones and go to lunch. Returning from lunch, I plug the headphones back in and the button no longer works. Or the reverse could be true: The button doesn't work before lunch, but works great after. Because of this odd behavior, I'm sure you can see why I am fearful of unplugging the headphones for the rest of the day once the button on them starts working. I know that if I unplug them and plug them back in later, I only have a 50% chance of the button working. I hope this makes sense. More importantly, I hope someone can see some sort of pattern that I have yet to see in this behavior to identify the cause(s) of this problem. Any ideas? |
66269 | Google Hangouts - Can not send or receive MMS | About 2 weeks ago, I updated CyanogenMod on my device, and Google Hangouts, and began experiencing this problem. I did an immediate restore from before my update, and there was no change. I can not send or receive any MMS's on my device. When I get an MMS, I am shown a message containing the details of the message, like the time stamp, and the size of the message, along with a prompt to download the message, however it downloads forever. When trying to send picture messages, via MMS or Hangouts, connected to either 4G LTE, or WiFi, it sends forever, and never goes through. In Hangouts, I click `Menu -> SMS -> APNs`, and the list is empty. Clicking `Menu -> Reset to Default` does absolutely nothing. Is there anything that I can do to get support back for sending MultiMedia Messages? > Device: LG G2 > Network: Verizon > Hangouts Version: 2.0.303 > Android ROM: CyanogenMod 11 > Kernel: 3.4.0-CM+ > Android Version: 4.4.2 |
24244 | How to see the back cover referenced on page 2 in Google Books? | In Google Books app, page 2 of "Bleak House" by C. Dickens or "Faust" by J.W.

See the back of the book for more detail.` How do I see the _back_ of the book and what is the information presented there? |
24242 | Galaxy S3 Emails showing in different colours | This is an extremely minor but extremely frustrating issue with my Galaxy S3. Basically the email client out the box (synced to my Exchange Active sync account) has a black background and white text...so far no problem. However as people have been sending emails to me the phone seems to (arbitrarily is seems) to render either a white background or black background. I then thought no problem I will switch the font colour to white...which works great when the email is rendered with black but renders the email text invisible when a white background email comes in.......has anyone had a similar issue?? |
