motorola DROID xt926
My phone has a cracked calibration ( the fore glass) with a good screen but yet it freezes while loading and then restarts. i never get to even see the homescreen before it restarts over again. Nw, I'm confused because i'm not sure if its going to work properly once i change the screen/calibration or its just another hardware problem from the board. Can someone please enlighten me on this?.. i want to know if the cracked calibration is liable to make the phone hang while booting. Thank you!

Escape key on bluetooth keyboard
I have a bluetooth keyboard connected and working with my Android phone, but with one annoyance: the escape key does not appear to do anything. This is particularly problematic for a _vi_ user like me. Is there a way to fix it so the escape key works, at least in the terminal application? Is /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl a potential approach or is this something harder? Hardware specifics: * SMK-LINK Bluetooth compact keyboard, Model VP6630 * Android Dev Phone 1 with Cyanogenmod 6.1

What is this annoying sound on my S3 running CM 11.0?
I'm running CyanogenMod 11.0 on my Galaxy S3 I9300, Android version 4.4.2. I didn't have this issue before installing CM, so I'm thinking it may be a CM sound. Basically, sometimes this sound keeps playing when I have my phone on loud. It sounds like an error sound, as if I'm trying to complete an action that's not allowed. It plays even when I'm not even touching my screen, and I think there is actually a small issue with my screen. I'm not too fussed about any issue with the phone, I just want to delete the sound so it can't play anymore! It really drives me mad because sometimes I can't have my phone on loud without this sound playing constantly. I tried looking and listening to all the sounds on my phone to try and find it, but I didn't have any luck. The sound can be heard here (at about 0:02):

How to improve camera shooting responsiveness?
Is there a camera application (or other solution) that has quick response time between button press and taking the picture? On HTC Hero, the delay from button press to shutter is painfully long - focusing, etc seem to take a lot of time with the stock camera app. On HTC EVO with the stock Camera app, distant shots focus and shoot quickly. However, closer shots can take some time focusing.

Network security in Android
My question is quite simple. I've been digging around in the subject for quite a while now, but I can't really get a hang of how it works. Scenario: I use Facebook on my phone to chat with some friend of mine. The question is: How does network security in Android work? Is there any equivalent to a firewall on a computer? I want to know how the data is transported from the phone to the destination, which ports are used (if any), if not what is used instead. But also which protocols are used. My intention with this question is to learn how my android phone communicate with other devices on Internet. I don't mind getting redirected to a forum or site where I can read about these things. But as I mentioned before, I can't really find anything about it.

How to drag in the web browser without moving the page?
With the stock browser when using a web page has a feature that requires dragging, how do you drag without moving the page? For example, cropping an image on the Gravatar site requires dragging the boundaries, but whenever I try to, I end up moving the page... but not dragging. UPDATE: I did notice on a third-party page with Google Maps embedded that the map did drag correctly. However, the above example still holds.

ICS Bluetooth Losing Connectivity
I have a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket on AT&T that is currently running Nexus ICS Zero Build 2 Rev.12. I've been trying to pair the phone with my car. It will initially connect, but when I try to either use the phone or a music player, the bluetooth disconnects quickly. I've read about this happening to many people using ICS, but haven't found a solution. Is there another ICS ROM that would work better for Bluetooth? Am I better off going back to GB? Let me know if you need more info.

What is the zygote process still doing in Android L?
I am trying to figure out the specific differences in the Dalvik and ART runtimes. I realize that ART no longer uses the Dalvik VM, however, one of the first things I noticed after installing the Android L preview was that the zygote process is still running. If they truly got rid of the Dalvik VM, wouldn't that render the zygote process useless? Furthermore, upon inspecting the source code released via AOSP, a large portion of Dalvik still remains.

Play Store 4.9.13 insufficient storage error and icon issues
I've been having issues with the Play Store's recent 4.9.13 update on my Blu Dash 4.5. Every time I try to install or update any app that is more than 1 MB, I keep getting an "insufficient storage" error, even though I have about 120MB on the apps partition free. Apps do install and update on an older version, however. In addition, the icons on the Play Store have weird black borders. I have searched all over the internet and I have yet to find a solution for either of these problems. Apparently, most devices affected by these bugs are using MediaTek chipsets and have Android 4.2 on them. My phone is using the stock ROM and is not rooted. ![This is what it looks like when I enter the Play Store. You can barely see a black border on the Ice Age Adventures icon.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/dFRvc.png) ![A better look at the icons.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/NMlGm.png) ![This app in question is about 2 MB.](http://i.stack.imgur.com/faq4L.png)

Change Input Method without unlocking the phone?
Recently, I've installed a WiFi Keyboard application to my Android phone. This way, since both the phone and my computer were connected to the same WiFi network, I could access the phone's keyboard from my computer. After, the phone disconnected from the WiFi network. And got locked (I had a password set at the lock screen). And now I cannot enter it, because I cannot enable any other keyboard than the WiFi one (which doesn't work because phone has no WiFi). Can I enable it via adb or any similar way? Are there any solutions to this problem? What I've tried: * I can do nothing on the lock screen, everything's blocked. The swipe doesn't work to change the keyboard. Also there's no settings box. And I cannot drag the notification bar. * I tried the `adb shell ime` command, but without luck. It doesn't seem to do anything. `me@myPC:/$ sudo adb shell ime list -s me@myPC:/$` Additional Data: * Phone is Samsung Galaxy S3 mini unrooted. Android version is 4.4 I think. * Storage and SD card are encrypted. SD card has important data, so I can't simply wipe the phone. * I am able to enter my password in the Decryption screen as the normal keyboard shows up, but not in the lock screen. * * * * * * **This problem was solved. Solution:** This problem was solved by booting into **safe mode** , as proposed by ak11234. I did so by holding the volume down key while powering on my device (pressed the power on button, waited for the phone logo to show ("Samsung" and the model number), released the power button and held the volume down key until the lock screen appeared). However, these instructions vary from phone to phone. The ones described worked for Galaxy S3 mini. You can find instructions for the most common phones that have Android on this webpage: http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-boot-android-devices-into-safe-mode/

Technical problems with Nexus 7
I have a one year old Nexus 7 and recently my tablet acts on its own. It starts to action commands without me doing anything. The only way I manage to recover control is to power it off and on again. This problem has become much more frequent in the past few days. I've a Kaspersky license and it hasn't brought to my attention any threats. Prior to having Kaspersky installed, I had McAfee Security, but I was never able to uninstall it because I can't deactivate its device administrator status. I don't understand why. What can I do to overcome these issues?

Tried hack to force 4.2 update, result is a broken play store. Theories?
So I'm on a Galaxy Nexus. Still on 4.1. I tried the 'hack' where you clear data on the Google Services Framework, then check update, but no luck. I shrugged and got on with my day. Now I'm noticing that I have several updates in the play store. And if I choose "update" all I get is an instant "Update for [app name] could not be downloaded". Repeatedly. I've tried clearing data for the play store, rebooting, but nothing. Yay. Any theories?

It used to work just fine then I upated to 4.2 and enabled developer options (one or the other must have broken it) and since then it has stopped working, it shows up as a camera device but if I change it to MTP it doesn't work. I tried turning developer options off, I tried re-installing drivers and a few other things. How do I make it work again like it was in 4.1 when it worked even when usb debugging was enabled? Now it won't work at all.

Wipe everything after failed decryption attempts, but make it usable?
I have CM10 running on my rooted Galaxy Nexus and I just enabled the disk encryption. However, I can't find any options what happens after a few failed attempts? I would like to reset and wipe my data and files so that it **will be usable, but without any of my data**. Cerberus is flashed, so I think I'll have a better chance at recovering my phone if it's usable and not completely locked. I have set a profile with tasker + secure settings to shutdown after 3 failed PIN attempts (which is different than the encryption password), so I should be save there and a thief would be forced to guess my much safer encryption password. I know that I can do it with cerberus, but only manually. @Robert answered a similar question, that is possible with encryption, but doesn't get specific. Bonus point: Is there any possibility to use a pattern instead of a PIN for the display lock? It's unavailable after encrypting..

Finding out the intents an app uses internally
I have an app (Smart Tools) that consists of mutiple distinct subapps. I would like to have an shortcut for a single subapp, so I wouldn't have to open it through the app's main menu. I'm pretty sure the app uses some specific intent broadcast to open any of the subapps. I know Tasker can be used to broadcast a custom intent to the Android system. If I understand correctly, if I just mimic the intent the Smart Tools main menu uses to invoke the specific subapp, I could start the subapp directly with a Tasker shortcut. But for that, I need to be able to mimic the intent. Since Smart Tools isn't open source, **how do I find out what intent the app uses "internally"?**

How to share a Google+ public post outside of the Google+ app?
Most apps share their content out to other apps based on intents on the phone. The Google+ app's share feature only seems to generate another Google+ post. How can I share a Google+ public post outside of the app from the app itself? For example, to send a link of the post to Twitter, Messenger, Facebook, etc. I can't believe Google would cauterize sharing from a service as important to them as Google+ when most other popular social apps can share freely among each other. Copy & paste of the URL is dated and onerous on Android.

Can I see what apps I own that have been pulled from the market by developers?
Last year I purchased the app grüvtron by Sound Trends LLC. Presumably they later removed the app from the google play store / market. Their website used to have a "buy android version" but now only mentions ios. The app can no longer be found by searching the market (neither on the device, nor on the web). I can no longer see it under "all apps" / "my apps" (again, neither on the device, nor on the web). The only reason I knew this app was "missing" was because I remembered owning it. Using google I could find an old market link in a forum to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.soundtrends.gruvtron This link normally gives "We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server". However, if I happen to be logged in to my google account that owns the app, I get a market page for the app (!) from which I can chose to install it! Doing so, it indeed gets sent to my device and 'everything works' (though, the app graphics are broken -- but I don't think that is relevant here.) This is worrying. Obviously I have no idea how many of the ~100s of apps I own that have silently disappeared from "my apps", and thus are left out when I browse that list for things to re-install. And even if I remembered a specific app, how would I find the corresponding market link so that I could re-install it? So my primary question is: **Is there a list anywhere on the web or on the android device that lists all apps I own -- _including the ones pulled from the market_?** and **preferably with market links?** I have the google market receipts, but those are a pain to go through (it is not really a "list") Worse, in there I only see a company name and textual app name, i.e., no market link. If there had been any reference to the app id (e.g., here, 'com.soundtrends.gruvtron') I could at least have re-constructed the market url. * * * Edit: a few clarifications follows: 1. A satisfactory answer must describe a way to get a list of apps which includes those I have purchased, **but which after the date of purchase have been pulled from the market by developers.** The list should include either market URLs or package-names. 2. The single one of my purchased apps where I know this has happened (grüvtron) **does not appear under my "my apps" list** (Menu > My Apps in market app), and I assume this is intentional design for apps that have been pulled (though I find it an odd design choice). 3. I am currently on ICS, with market 3.7.13. The device is the ASUS transformer TF101 tablet.

The Play Store(web) doesn't show my device on my default Google Account
So I had three different Google Accounts set up on my Nexus 4: 1. personal google account - personal device 2. personal google apps account 3. company google account - two company devices (both no longer active) Until 4.3 I had absolutely no problems, with the 4.3 update - some of the apps stopped updating (Error RPC:S-5:AEC-0). I removed all of my accounts of the device and then re-added only my personal google account. Now my Nexus 4 won't show up in my personal account's play store on the web but looks to be attached to my company google account, so I can install apps from the play store on the device but not through the web interface, which simply states: "You don't have any devices". Although on my personal google account I can see my wishlist being sync'ed between the two, and apps I install on the device show on the "My apps" screen, I cannot locate my device either through the android device manager. What could be the cause, and how can it be fixed? ## Extra Info 1. I currently only have my personal google account set up on the device. 2. I've tried setting the default account through the Play Store app, but it still doesn't work 3. Locate my device settings on the device are active, and I'd assume it to work with my personal google account as there aren't any others active.

strange music played, no virus
An hour ago I was walking around my apartment when I heard some music playing very soft. It turned out to be my phone. It was the kind of calm music that you'd hear in the background of a nature program on TV, totally unlike the hardcore stuff I have stored on my phone. The moment I pressed the screen button the music vanished. I thought it may be a new type of notification I've never heard before, (especially because recently I lowered the notification volume relative to the others), but I found nothing in the notification bar. I looked at the running programs but found nothing I don't know. Fearing that it may be a virus or hijack, I installed AVG Mobility antivirus, and it reported that my phone is clean! Any idea what this may have been?

How can I replace the apps in the SGSII's stock launcher dock?
When I turn on my Galaxy S2, on the very bottom, there are the default icons for "phone", "email", "web", and "applications". On the Galaxy Tab (running Android 3.2), if I want to free up any of those apps and replace them with my own, I simply press and hold like any other app and just delete and replace with my own. On the Galaxy SII Skyrocket (running 2.3 Gingerbread), I press and hold and nothing happens. Is there a way for me to change the shortcuts in the dock on the SGSII, similar to the way I can on the Galaxy Tab?

ICS stock email client consumes too much traffic for POP3 accounts
I have two different POP3 accounts under two different domains. I was using my Samgung Galaxy S2 (I9100 unrooted, unlocked) with stock Gingerbread (2.3.6) and my monthly data usages for emails were ~100 MiB. But, after upgrading stock ICS (4.0.3 I9100XWLP7-Turkiye), in a single day it was ~50 MiB. Due to this reason I've switched K9 client. But, it constantly deleted all of my account settings in a random interval. After realizing it's a known bug for a long time, I've desperately returned stock email. After several tries, a friend of mine advice to "mark all messages as read" immediately after setting accounts to prevent excessive traffic usages. At first, this doesn't make sense to me, but he explained that some old Windows-based email clients were acting in that way (unread messages were constantly downloaded over and over again). Interestingly, it worked. But, after using it for a while (precisely 1-2 days), "Onavo Count" started to warn me again about that email client consumes too much traffic. While investigating the problem, I've noticed that for a single check, it consumes 1-3 MiB traffic even though I've marked all messages as read. And now email client reached ~300 MiB traffic usages in total (I've only 1 GiB/month data plan). As a summary: 1. I was happy with Gingerbread email client. 2. ICS client consumes too much traffic for each check. 3. K9 was tried. It's very buggy. 4. I don't want to add my POP3 accounts to Gmail to avoid excessive traffic usages (using push notification and such). 5. I don't want to pay an app due to such thing (why should I use Android if even I can't read my emails properly!?). I was happy with stock client. If there is way that I could use it, I prefer that way. 6. I don't want to root my device due to such problems 7. As a last attempt, I could even write my own client which could optimize traffic usages (check only header on 3G connection, download all emails on WiFi etc.) Any help? **EDIT:** Seems something is not right with Onavo Count. It frequently warns me about email client (now ~650 MiB) even though I've increased check interval "5 min" to "once a day". And what's more, Onavo Count reports my total traffic usage as ~6 GiB now (still increasing). **But** , according to ICS's built-in data monitor and my operator I didn't used that much traffic (only ~1 GiB). **But again** , this doesn't changed the fact that email client consumes too much data (around ~200 MiB which means x2 after upgrading to ICS, it's verified by both ICS's built-in data monitor and my operator reports).

I need a way to trace GPS trails in the background
I have tried several GPS apps over the months, but so far all have fallen short of what I want. My needs are: 1. Takes a location at short intervals, and writes it to a file (KML or similar open format). 2. Keeps the GPS active between points, rather than turning it off and restarting a fix each time. 3. Starts tracking a path as soon as it is launched, without needing to press buttons or choose menus. 4. Continues tracing in the background or with the screen off. Applications I have tried: * GPS Trace: Meets criteria 2, 3, and 4; fails 1. Defunct (no longer on market) * GPS Logger: Meets criteria 1, 3, and 4; fails 2. * GPS Essentials: Meets criteria 1 and 2, fails 3 and 4. * Tasker: Meets criteria 3 and 4, 2 partially, fails 1. Is there a solution for GPS tracking that meets these criteria? I would be happy to pay for such an app, especially if it included additional features such as the ability to be turned on or off from Tasker. Thank you.

Multiple Pattern Locks at the same point of time
Is it possible to have multiple pattern lock implemented in an android device to increase it's security. I know that it must be possible to design an app to do that, but my question is whether any app has already done it? Asking a Similar Question, is it possible to install more than one app that lock my screen with pattern lock and use them simultaneously? Will it cause any kind of clashes or other troubles?

Android can't boot -- displays booting splash until battery drains
My Android can't boot. It displays the booting splash (a sci-fi planet-like image) until the battery drains. Is this condition what's referred to as a `boot loop`? Is there any chance to recover? The condition came gradually. Each new time booting, it would take longer but it would eventually boot. As of yesterday, it can't get through the boot step and just stays there until the battery is out. Another thing that was happening in the last couple of weeks is that the phone would randomly (on its own, without user interference) go out (but not power itself off) for like 10-15 min at a time, pressing power wouldn't do anything, then it would wake up and the 4G service would be reinstated. The hardware is a `Motorola Razr Bionic`. I also tried going into the recovery mode but all it did was display an android robot lying down with a ! (exclamation mark) sign above it for a few minutes, then went back to the splash screen hanging again. I also tried following these instructions (Alternate Method) but I am stuck in part 5: I press volume up/down but it doesn't change the lying android with an exclamation mark. Eventually, it goes into the infinite boot splash and I have to take the battery out to get out of it and power it off.

How to change /system mount point in booting
In init processing, my Samsung Note 2 mounts filesystem according to `fstab.smdk4x12`, by `mount_all fstab.smdk4x12` in `init.<vendor>.rc`. In this file, the `/dev/block/mmcblk0p13` is mounted as `/system` partition. I want to use "mount" command to mount `/system`, `/data`, and `/cache` partitions manually, but the phone cannot boot when I substitute `mount_all fstab.smdk4x12` to several mount script. How can I mount `/system` partition manually in `init.rc` or `init.<vendor>.rc`?

Why are preinstalled apps not registered in play store on new devices?
This is the 2nd time I noticed this. Once with a new Samsung galaxy s3 (with newly created Google account) and now with a new Samsung Galaxy Note (also with a newly created Google account). I've just registered 2 new Samsung Galaxy Note tablets. One with my personal, existing Google account. And one for a friend with a new Google account I just created. On my personal tablet, all installed apps where registered in the play store and they all said "update". On my friends tablet with the new Google account, there are **NONE** apps installed on the device, according to Google play. What this means is that I need to find each and every one of the installed apps in the play store **manually** and update them. Or else I wouldn't receive update notifications from those apps. This is very annoying. Especially with the loads of bloatware preïnstalled on new android devices these days. Is there any known fix for this issue? How can I have Google Play store register all apps installed on device and show them in the **my apps section**? Thx in advance!

How to authorize other email adress for google play store?
I can install apps on our family tablet using my personal Google account. Somehow I've set this up in the past, so I have all my devices under one Google account. Note that the tablet is officially registered on an other Google account. I want to do this again for the tablet of my grandmother, but I don't know how anymore how I've done this in the past. I have my grandmother's tablet here. How can I authorize myself to install apps on her tablet using my own Google account? Thx in advance!

Gmail stuck on "Waiting for sync"
My Gmail app recently stopped working. I'm on a SGS Captivate running this custom ROM \-- while I realize there might be some ROM-specific glitch, I thought I could ask here for general troubleshooting tips. I stopped getting new emails last week, so I cleared the app cache, toggled sync off and back on, then finally uninstalled and re-installed the app. Nothing seems to make any difference -- mail will not sync, sitting at the "Waiting for sync" message with a blue spinner for hours. Am I missing anything? Is there any way to get a handle on what exactly is going wrong here?

How to disable automatic picture upload to Google+
I've got Motorola RAZR (XT910) and I decided to install the Google+ app to stay in touch with it. Whenever I take pictures with my phone it would upload those pictures to my Google+ account even though I have set my Instant Upload settings to OFF. How can I really disable that without uninstalling the Google+ app? I would like to hand pick photos from my phone to be uploaded to my Google+. Thanks

What can I do when my GPS doesn't work (or if my tablet doesn't have GPS)?
The problem: I want to use an (offline|online) navigation app but: * I have an Asus Transformer Prime with very bad GPS reception * I have a tablet without GPS (e.g., a Nook Color) * My phone has a very low GPS signal (Samsung is infamous here, Galaxy S, Nexus S, Gio and so on all have users complaining about it) * My phone often loses track of GPS satellites My device has Bluetooth however. What can I do to get a working and precise GPS signal?

"Save as draft" option missing from the default message app?
I have a Samsung galaxy Y mobile phone, and I have just discovered that the option to save messages as draft is completely missing in the app named "Messaging" that I got pre-installed. I am really shocked, as this is a very basic and common feature in the cheapest phones today. My Question is: What kind of design/usage philosophy/idea/concept/thought is behind this? Also, is their any good alternative to this pre-installed app which has the option to save drafts?

Strange Behaviour of HTC One X battery
maybe someone recognizes my problem or has had it himself. My problem is as follows: Normally I turn my phone of over night. Battery Monday evening 50%, Tuesday morning 23% Battery Tuesday evening 79%, Wednesday morning 45% Turned of accelerated start on Wednesday as I read this might help. Wednesday evening: 64%, Thursday morning 74% Didn't turn off my phone tonight and the battery lvl stayed the same at 84% tonight. As this behaviour makes absolutely no sense, I'm not sure wether my battery is going to die soon or whatever else the problem might be. EDIT: After a week of not turning it off during the night, the battery keeps stable over night (about 5% loss in 7 hours). Only thing worth mentioning: When using Apps, the battery drops faster than normal

I can't connect to a device that is connected with GPRS
My android 2.3 phone is connecting to the internet using the GPRS network and I get a new IP everytime I reconnect. So now I try to connect to my phone which is connected to the internet - the internet is working on the phone because I can use the browser. I also installed a FTP server and enabled to allow all connections. Unfortunately I can't get even a ping. It all works when I connect the phone to WIFI (and use the local IP) So is it just me or is it not possible to connect to GPRS connected phones?

How to stop Android asking for permission before permitting access to USB device
I have an application running on a rooted no-name Android tablet running ICS 4.0.3 that controls a USB device via the USB host mode interface. The android.hardware.usb.host.xml file is present in /system/etc/permissions and everything works wonderfully. Except... When I run the app for the first time following a reboot and then plug in the USB device I get a popup window saying "Allow the app APPNAME to access the USB device? [] Use by default for this USB device. Cancel OK" and I have to tap OK before it can start using the device. I need to turn off the user confirmation so that the app can use the device straight away. How do I do this? I've seem some suggestions about using a keypress generator to simulate the user tapping the button on the screen but I'd prefer to avoid that sort of approach and set things up so that the confirmation request simply doesn't happen. I probably can't get the supplier to do a custom kernel build for me, but I should be able to get the firmware signing key from them so I can sign my app as a system app, if that will help. One associated problem: ticking the "Use by default for this USB device" box doesn't appear to help - if I unplug and replug the device then I get the confirmation prompt again. I have noticed in this situation that the device number in /dev/bus/usb/001/ changes each time I unplug and replug (001, 002, 003 etc) which perhaps explains this particular problemette.

Difference between GINGERBREAD.DDLJ1 and GINGERBREAD.DDMA3 build number on Samsung Galaxy Y Duos?
I am using Samsung Galaxy Y Duos phone. Today, my phone showed the notification for software update. So, I clicked on it and installed the updates. The update was more than 12 MB in size. Before update, my phone was showing GINGERBREAD.DDLJ1 build number. Now, it is GINGERBREAD.DDMA3. I Googled for it, but did not get any information about it. Is this build number given by Samsung or Google? How will I know what this update changed, or what new features it added to my phone? How will I know what performance impacts it has on my phone? Normally whenever we update the app, it shows changelog about changes or new features to be added to that app. But, they are not providing any kind of changelog after the OS update.

Default video player not automatically expanded since last update?
Lately I've noticed that the default video player on Android is not automatically expanding to the full size of the screen, instead it is playing videos at the original resolution (which can be quite small). We noticed this problem on our tube site, and since confirmed it happens with every other tube site that we've tested. We also tested on 2 different Galaxy S3's, one with the latest updates and one without any updates in the last few weeks. The one with the latest updates plays the video at the original resolution (very small on these phones) and the one with the latest updates plays the videos automatically expanded to use the full screen. I'm wondering if there is a way to force Android (from a website) to always play the videos expanded, and if not, if this is a bug of one of the latest updates? Thanks!

Is it possible to connect a USB stick to Samsung Galaxy S2 Phone?

I am just wondering if the micro USB port can also be used to connect a USB memory stick. Is there something like a USB stick with a micro SD connection? Perhaps the easier option is to use the existing cable. Can a USB Stick be connected to the phone in the same way the phone is connected to a PC using the existing cable?

Is there any way to have certain apps automatically turn on GPS when they launch (or at least prompt me if I want to)? For example, if I use voice commands to ask for navigation directions, and GPS is not turned on, I'd like for it to enable GPS instead of guessing from cell towers. Bonus points if it turns it back off when I close the app.

Problem with Facebook sync - All instead of existing
I have a problem when time comes to sync my Facebook friends with existing contact.

But the options works 'cause as soon as I select "Do not sync", everything from Facebook disappear from my contact on my phone.Is anyone else having this problem, or a solution perhaps? By the way, my phone is a Galaxy S2 running ICS (4.0.3) with the latest version of Facebook (1.9.7). Everything use to be all right before... I don't know which update messed up. Thanks!

How to Repair IMEI of rooted phone without backup
I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 AT&T phone (SGH-I777) with KitKat AOCP version. I used ClockworkMod 6.0.4.6 recovery. However, I encountered a problem "E: Cant mount storage/sdcard0" . I formatted my sdcard0 and then it worked. However, in this process I deleted my efs folder which supposed to have the IMEI information. Hence, now the phone can not get telephone service, so I can not call. I have gone through the forums explaining how to restore IMEI if you have a backup, or how to edit a corrupted imei file. However, I coudn't find a suitable solution for my case.I don't have anything inside my efs folder to start with. I know my EMEI number, since its written on the back of my phone. Is there any way I can generate a fresh IMEI file for my phone from the number. What steps I need to follow to get my phone running again. Thanks for help.

How to activate voice wakeup in secure lockscreen on S4?
I have the T-Mobile Galaxy S4, with the newest (kitkat) update I use the pattern draw security to wake up from lock screen. I think it is important to have some such security, so that if one leaves one's phone somewhere by accident, someone else cannot pick it up and find out all kinds of personal and financial information. Yet, when driving a car, it can be difficult (and unsafe) to draw the pattern, or even more so a pin or password, if one wants to make a phone call, navigate, etc For driving, it would be good to be able to unlock the screen with voice. (One could set an unusual wake-up command (no, not "Hi Galaxy" ;-) ), so that others would not be able to wake it up with voice. ) I would like to be able to open from the lockscreen with either the pattern OR voice. There is a post on a forum that shows how to do that: http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-samsung-galaxy-note-3/361730-how-use- s-voice-google-now-hands-free-via-bluetooth-security-lock-screen-your- note-3-a.html However, that is in the forum for Galaxy Note 3. I tried it on my S4. I turned off the pattern security, and set it to swipe. I followed all the listed steps. Except--one command I could not find on the S4 [Quote from forum post]: LONG PRESS Voice Wake-up to reveal the hidden command> √ "wake up in Secure Lock".[end quote] I could not long press anything to get that hidden command "wake up in secure lock". After following all the other steps, with no security, I could wake from the lock screen by voice command. But only with no security, with lock screen set to swipe (which is no security at all). Once I re-enabled the pattern security (also tried it with PIN), I could not wake the phone by voice any more. Does anyone know how to get this to work on the T-Mo Galaxy S4? I think it is important to have some security, but would like to be able to wake the phone up by voice while driving. If it is not possible from the phone's own setup, is there an app one could install that would add that functionality? If totally impossible to do with the current update on the S4, is there a way to give suggestions to Samsung, to ask for that feature on the S4? (Which from that post, certainly looks like it is possible on the Note 3.) Thank you in advance for your input.

Word Processor/text editor Apps?
Are there any decent word processing applications for android? I've looked through the market and it seems that they all seem to suffer from the same issue, they fall over and sometimes overwrite large documents. I don't necessarily need formatting but the ability to handle large amounts of text (upwards of 50k words ideally) is a must. The reason I want this is so that I can do my NaNoWriMo on my phone. A word count and any other features that help me track how much I've written on a given day/towards a target would be good too. Basically I'm looking for Focus Writer for my phone...

Android phone does not charge with powerbank
Does anybody know how to fix this; I have a powerbank, it has 2 USB outputs, one is 1 A and the other is 2.1 A. The problem is, when I turn it on, it charges the phone for about 10 seconds, and then turns off. It's supposed to turn off when the device connected is fully charged. But, it's not fully charged. It works perfectly fine with an iPad or iPod. Even with a cheap Bluetooth headphone, it stays on and charges it. It's not the cable, because I tried the supplied cable and my phone's cable Extra info: My phone's default charger gives 1 A, and that works perfectly. Also, it's a rooted Wolfgang AT-AS45D1 with stock android on it, with only a few UI customizations. Wolfgang is a Dutch brand, and you can compare it to a 'normal' android phone.

Ubuntu connection woes, device not showing up in lsusb any more
I have a really weird issue in connecting my Samsung GS2 to my Ubuntu 14.04 system. I found the ID via lsusb at first, and added a udev entry. Everything was perfect and I was happily ADBing away for a few minutes. Thereafter, I begun getting "Unable to mount samsung device" (or something similar) popups. Since then, my GS2 doesn't even show up in lsusb. When I plug it in, the phone behaves as if it has just been connected to a wall charger; MTP doesn't work any more, while it used to fine. I've tried removing the udev config file, restarting phone and pc, and enabling/disabling debugging mode, but still there's nothing in lsusb. Everything works perfectly on my other windows machine. What on earth is going on here?

Does encrypting the Xoom tablet use battery faster?
I recently decided to encrypt my Xoom tablet. The process went smoothly (full power, plugged in the whole time, took about an hour) but since the encryption, it seems like my battery life has decreased. With moderate usage, I used to get close to two days worth of usage before the encryption, but now my battery usage meter has me at 15% after 23 hours. I found this thread on the Motorola Owners' Forums but that is about it.

Can I set the minimum brightness of auto-brightness?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 and I'm getting frustrated with how dark the screen goes. I do find value in using auto brightness but is it possible to limit the minimum or lowest point that the brightness will go? Is there an app that does it better, and I should just turn off the default auto brightness? I would prefer a solution in which I modify a config file though, over installing an app. A calibrate option would work too, as the issue is worse when in a dim light situation. It seems to bottom out the brightness as if it's a pitch black room, when in fact the ambient light is quite a bit brighter. **Update:** I thought maybe my Otterbox case might be interfering, but after some basic tests it doesn't seem to be the case.

If there is such a standard, is it available for reference online?

Gmail app doesn't sync email at all when on Mobile Data
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I love the new Gmail app. Works awesome. My only problem is that it doesn't sync emails (I don't receive any new notifications when new emails arrive, I have to manually click refresh in the app which is annoying) when I'm on Mobile Data. When I'm on Wifi I receive notifications almost instantly. I've searched on Google Help but couldn't find anything. I guess I could use the Email app but I don't like that as much as the Gmail app. What could be the problem?
