3951 | Text messaging Force Close issues after OS upgrade | I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S GT I 9000 to Android 2.2 yesterday...but I just can't open my messages...it says Force Close every time I try...any solutions?? If not, how can I downgrade to the original 2.1 Eclair? |
55090 | Why can't I upgrade my unlocked Sony Xperia Z (C6616) to Jelly Bean 4.2.2? | I got my Xperia Z not too long ago from craigslist. In Canada this phone is exclusive to Bell (model C6616), but since mine came unlocked I've been using it with Rogers (another carrier). I have access to LTE and in general never have had an issue. However, after a quick visit to xda I noticed that the latest OS that this phone is running is Android 4.2.2. However, mine is stuck on 4.1.2. I read that in order to upgrade I need to use flashtool and switch my firmware to model C6602. But I was wondering, why do I have to do this in the first place? Is it because mine's an unlocked phone? Bell hasn't rolled the update yet? Something else? Any help would be appreciated. I really want to take advantage of the native Sixaxis controller support introduced in 4.2.2, but I don't want to wipe all data and affect the performance of my phone in order to do so. |
55091 | Clear or reset my lock screen password/PIN | I have a similar problem as the one described in this question, but that question doesn't solve my problem. Summarized here: I recently installed CyanogenMod 10 on my Galaxy Nexus. I enabled encryption. The first time I rebooted the phone, I was able to get past the lock screen with no trouble. I tried to change the screen lock PIN, but the settings app wouldn't accept my PIN. Later, the screen locked due to the timeout being reached, and I wasn't able to unlock it. My password kept being rejected, and the "Forgot password" button that I read should come up never appeared. I rebooted my phone, and though I can easily decrypt it, I can't unlock it. This answer suggested going through `adb` to fiddle with an SQLite database. However, I can't seem to access `/data` on my phone. I get the following error when I try to do an `ls`: opendir failed, Permission denied I tried to use `su`, but again, I got a `Permission denied` error. The phone is most definitely rooted, as I regularly use several root-only apps. I really don't want to have to wipe the phone. Is there any other way to unlock this phone? # Edit After posting this question, I came across this answer. I was able to get my phone unlocked by exploiting the phone hole mentioned (involving calling the phone and mashing the keys repeatedly--though instead of hitting the non- existent home key I swiped up Google Now). I deleted the password using the SQL mentioned in the answer I cited earlier. However, upon rebooting the phone, I'm back in an non-unlockable state. In other words, I can exploit a hole to unlock my phone, but I can't reset the PIN, and I have to make sure to turn my screen on before 30 minutes elapses and avoid rebooting, or I'm toast. |
34748 | Is there a way to enable the headphone output for audio while using HDMI for video? | I have a yarvik tab464euk tablet, which I'm mostly happy with in an it-was- cheap kind of way. However, there is a particular annoyance. I have a monitor which has a rarely-used HDMI port (my PC connects via DVI). I don't have a HDMI TV, or any kind of TV at all. Sometimes, I'd like to use my tablet as a media player using the HDMI monitor. I can connect the tablet to the monitor without any problem, but of course it's a monitor - like many monitors, it doesn't have speakers. That's fine - the tablet also has a headphone jack socket. I thought I'd do exactly what I do for my PC - connect the tablet to the speakers separately. Unfortunately, this doesn't work. The headphone socket works fine, but not when the mini-HDMI cable is connected. As soon as I have a HDMI monitor connected, the headphone output is switched off - I checked with two sets of headphones as well as speakers to make sure this wasn't a dodgy cable issue. Giving priority to HDMI seems very odd to me. First, monitors with HDMI but no speakers are quite common. Second, even if I was using a TV with speakers, the obvious reason for having headphones plugged in is because I want to use those for the sound, not the TV speakers. So... Is this a general thing with Android tablets? Is there a setting I can change to control it? Or is there any other way to get the headphone audio output to work while a HDMI monitor is connected? I've seen this question about splitters, but the price is out of proportion plus the convenience isn't there. Part of the point is to reduce hardware clutter, tangled cables etc. I already have a media player that works with separate HDMI and audio just fine, but it never gets used because it gets put away to avoid the clutter and tangle, then it's just not worth the hassle to set it up again later. And it just seems so stupid anyway that the headphone socket is there and works, but it switches off when I most want to use it. |

34742 | Install Android-x86 on USB drive | I am live booting the Asus laptop version of Android-x86 4.0 on my Acer Laptop from my USB Pendrive. Everything is working fine, however I want to install the OS on the USB drive instead of live booting it. The USB drive is 16GB in size. I want to live boot the system and then install on the same drive without using any other drives. If possible, later on, I would want to mount some part of the USB drive as the SD Card. How can I do this? |
34744 | Help with LG Optimus Logic Memory | I recently purchased an LG Optimus Logic for StraightTalk, which runs Android 2.3.6. The phone was advertised as having 1GB internal Memory and also came with a 4GB Micro SD. I've used the phone for about a week now and noticed something which I believe is drastically wrong with the Memory Scheme. As I've downloaded apps, they seem to not be using the internal memory properly. On the Applications Manage screen, the apps take up "System Memory", which is about 190MB maximum. As you can imagine, this space is used up rather fast after only a few apps installed. So I tried to see if I could move apps to the SD Card, but there's the hitch. The option didn't refer to an SD card at all, but was a greyed-out "Move to Internal Memory". A few of the apps had this option, and when I selected it they began to take up the 1GB Internal Memory, which was not used at all before. The option for memory management then read "Move to Phone". Also, I noticed that as I installed more apps RAM was being used even before the Apps started running. My theory is that the phone was poorly configured. A section of RAM is being treated as the Internal Storage or Flash Memory or whatever you call it, which was labelled "System Memory". The actual, 1GB Internal memory is being treated as external storage much as an SD card would, which leaves the real SD card out in the cold. My best evidence for this is that I removed the SD card and the apps I moved to the other memory still functioned. I have two questions: 1. Am I correct in assuming this, or do I not grasp Android memory properly and your knowledgeable minds can enlighten me? 2. If I am correct, is there any way I can fix this manually, as LG and StraightTalk seem to be of no help on the issue. Thank you for your time. |

61557 | Documentation/reference for fastboot | Where can I find the documentation for `fastboot` in Android SDK's `platform- tools`? I know that running `fastboot` on its own gives a quick help for the different commands, but I'd like to know about details such as: * `update`: What does _update.zip_ need to look like * `flashall`: Where do the _flash boot + recovery + system_ come from, what format, etc. * `boot`: What is the format of `<kernel>` and what is the `<ramdisk>` option * `flash:raw boot`: What is the difference to `boot` and what is it used for I am surprised that in the Android Developer's Tools Help there is documentation for `adb` but not `fastboot`. |
61554 | Is there a way for 3G to not disconnect when connecting to WiFi? | WiFi is unreliable, I wouldn't trust WiFi for SIP calls, I've disabled WiFi within CSipSimple. Now every time I connect to WiFi, my SIP registration seems to go away, and I'm not receiving any calls at all. It's also unclear what happens when you do receive a call, unlock the phone to pick it up, and then the phone connects to WiFi (which it presumably didn't do during the sleep in order to conserve the power). Is there a way to make this work? |
61550 | Recovering data from a phone that doesn't boot | My Samsung Galaxy SII started an OTA update yesterday and got stuck along the way. It's now stuck on the Samsung splash screen and I'm trying to get my pictures off of the phone. I tried flashing the firmware with Odin but that also failed. The phone is old and due for an upgrade now anyway, so fixing it isn't top priority, so long as I can get my pictures and recordings off. Is there a safe way of doing this considering I can't get the firmware installed? |

61559 | Is there a "clean" Android I can reinstall on my Galaxy S4? | I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 and the OS that came with it has many problems IMO. It feels equivalent to the bloated Windows install that would come on my Dell PCs in the 90's, so I'd like to re-install a "clean" version of Android. Does such a thing exist? Is it the case that there is a "clean" Android with a basic UI, Apps container, wifi functionality etc. from which most other distributions extend? Or do I have to search all the various ROM forums and try different ROMs out (hopefully I'm using the right terminology here) until I find one that I like? I want something as close to iOS features as possible - just a sticky list of apps at the bottom of my screen, app groups, minimal number of pre-installed apps to name the main features I'm hoping for. |

24039 | Turning off cell broadcast messages in Ice Cream Sandwich | The phone is a stock HTC One X. The settings menu does not include a checkbox to enable/disable CB messages. They just keep popping up. **Update** : Halfer already gave the link to the wikipedia article about CB, which should explain it in more detail than I ever can.

(The statistics at at that link show 0 successes and 13 failures for GNex owners who tried it. However, it works for many other devices.)

20457 | How to clear the keyboard autocomplete suggestions | I need to completely clear the autocomplete words my Sony Ericsson Xperia arc has learned.

73199 | How do I paste my password on Google Signin? | I change the password of my Google account on a frequent basis. My password is always a quite long alphanumeric string generated by a password manager. Typing it is really annoying, specially on a touch interface, so usually I copy and paste it. It works in-browser, but **I can't use long pressing to copy and paste on the "Google Signin" screen**. * * * Let me be more clear. When I change it from the desktop web interface, a few moments later my phone complains about an "Account action required".  Clicking the notification shows me a (native, browserless) screen that says: > Couldn't sign in: you typed an incorrect password or your account has > changed. Re-type your password. If you forgot your password and need to > recover your account click here.  Then it shows me another non-browser screen where it expects me to type my password. On this screen, I can paste as usual, by long-pressing near the cursor and then waiting for a "paste" button to apper.  So far, so good. However, I have two-factor authentication turned on, and just typing my password isn't enough. I see a second screen that says: > Couldn't sign in: To access your account, you must sign in on the web. Touch > Next to start Browser signin.  Then it opens what seems to be a browser-within-a-window, with my email address already typed and waiting for my password. The problem is, **I can't paste on this screen.** Long pressing does not show the "paste" button.  And if I trick it into showing me the button, then I can't submitting the password: I have followed this answer on a related question (writing a single characther and then long pressing), but then pressing the submit button produces no result at all. |

77430 | Dual epub reader | I have started using my tablet for reading epubs and I have found a lot of different versions of the same book. So, is there any application that allows me to compare, i.e. to see both versions in a split screen? I thought it would be easy to find this because it is such a useful utility! I have tried the 10 most used application for reading epubs and no single one allows me to do this. |
77434 | Is it possible to change mount points of internal storage? | I have an off-brand rooted tablet built on MT8389 with 8GB internal memory. The problem is that manufacturer partitioned this in some weird way making `/data` folder mounted to a partition that is only 1GB large. Basically I have approximately 4GB of free space mounted as `/storage/sdcard0` but it sits unused while all installed apps occupy `/data` making the device close to useless as only core apps after updates eats over 60% of available space. After all Android is just another Linux flavour, so I would expect I could run console and do this: 1. Copy `/data` to `/storage/sdcard0`. 2. Umount `/storage/sdcard0`. 3. Mount `/data` to the partition that was mounted as `/storage/sdcard0`. 4. Mount that 1GB partition as `/storage/sdcard0` instead. Is it possible? How to do it "safely"? Note that I don't want to change partition sizes - I only want to swap mount points or create symlink to make `/data` point to a larger partition. In theory this should be pretty straightforward ;) |

73223 | Not recieving messages from only one WhatsApp contact | When I first met the love of my life, he insisted that we use WhatsApp to communicate. He lives in Brasil and uses WhatsApp on his Windows Phone. I'm in the United States and use WhatsApp for Android on my Motorola Photon Q. Over the past few months, our ability to communicate through this app has deteriorated. He says he receives my messages, and that he replies to them, but apparently I don't see them. This is frustrating, to say the least, and puts a lot of unneeded stress on both of us. I've worried myself sick over it. He says that I'm the only one this happens to, and that communication with his Brazilian contacts works just fine. One of my friends in the Philippines just got WhatsApp for Android and I can communicate with him perfectly. I'm really clueless. I've scoured the Internet for answers, but I can't seem to find any. I can send messages, and in the rare time that I do receive the messages from my boyfriend, it is late at night. I never receive any during the day. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app countless times, and my WiFi connection at my house is perfect. But this seems to only be getting worse. He says he sends me several messages a day, but I only get some of the messages about every other day--usually every two days. I'm not a tech by any means, but it seems like there might be something wrong with the different versions of WhatsApp. Android communicating with the Windows Phone. So if this is the case, then my question here is unneeded. I've contacted WhatsApp Inc. with my concerns and have yet to receive a reply. This sucks, to say the least. UPDATE: I have contacted one of my boyfriend's friends in Brasil. I can communicate with them perfectly. They said y boyfriend said there was an issue with his phone. But I'm not sure that's the case. I uninstalled WhatsApp and downloaded it through WhatsApp's website. I can now see when my boyfriend is online and when he types. But I do not receive the messages he sends. |

51643 | How much RAM should I allow an app to use, and how much should I always leave free? | I have a chess app on my 2012 Nexus 7 (running stock Android 4.3, with a few small background services) that allows me to set the size of an internal hash table used by the chess engine. Larger hash tables increase the performance of the chess engine, but it is ultimately limited by the RAM available on the tablet. Typically, the Settings app indicates that around 450-500 MB of RAM is free. How much memory should I allow the app to use, and how much should I leave free for the system? As I don't want to change this setting too often, can I rely on this amount of memory being available every time I use the app? (Note that the amount of memory used must always be a power of 2.) The other questions and answers I've read haven't really answered this question, so I don't believe this is a duplicate. |
32749 | SD card won't mount when Xperia Neo V is connected to Ubuntu 12.10 | I upgraded my Ubuntu set up to 12.10 and realized that the SD card can't mount like it used to every time I connected my Neo V (running android 2.3.4). It can't be a hardware issue as it mounts successfully via a card reader. It also mounts successfully on Windows 7 too.

I've had a look but I haven't seen any accounts of malware distributed Android OS's, but I'm sure it can happen.

36246 | Samsung Galaxy S having internal sd card problems | I have `Samsung Galaxy SLCD` having android 2.2.1 which is around one and half year old. Around one month back my it started showing message in notification bar '`internal sd card removed unexpectedly`' and after that sometimes phone hanged and I got black screen with samsung written like we get at boot time and sometimes there is multiple '`force close`' pop-ups of different apps on phone. Whenever phone gets hanged or it automatically shutdown I am able to restart it only after removing battery and putting it back again and it takes long time to boot up every time I restart. Now from last 3-4 days I am having following problems that were not there earlier- 1. If I install an app from market or through eclipse and I restart phone the app is not there. 2. If I uninstall an old app and I restart phone the app is not uninstalled, it is still there. 3. If I copy a file it does not show up or if I transfer a file through Bluetooth it is gone after restart of phone. However I am able to open old files or app. I don't have external SD card on my phone. Is problem with internal SD card of phone or some other OS or phone related issue. Anyone know how to solve above problems. Thanks in advance. Anuj |
36242 | Replace audio cable with wireless solution | I want audio from my Nexus 7 to play through my amplifier (without replacing it). I think this would be possible with the iPad/AppleTV combo. I don't want to be locked to a specific app that only plays certain files etc, but more like being able to select another Audio Out destination. Also, I'd rather not use Bluetooth, since it needs to compress the audio. You could probably say I want Miracast, but for audio. Sorry, lots of demands. Is there a device/protocol to make this happen? |
36243 | How to switch between touchscreen and mouse (or enable both)? | I have a BeagleBone with Android 4.1.2 and USB Keyboard and USB Mouse connected. With the DVI-D cape, keyboard and mouse work. But with the LCD7 cape, only the keyboard works. I assume that the touchscreen driver takes over and disables the mouse driver. How can I switch between touchscreen input and mouse input, or enable them both? (The reason that I want to use the mouse with the LCD is that the resistive touchscreen of the LCD7 cape is not enough responsive to use some Android applications. With the touchscreen it's e.g. nearly impossible to scroll within the Android settings dialog). |
41275 | How could I set the default contact store? | I have an LG L5 (E610), running Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich MR1). Recently, I moved all my contacts that were stored as Phone or SIM contacts to Google contacts in order to get them synced. Now, I have only Google contacts. But, when I create a new contact, the default store seems to be the Phone store, and I find no option where I can set Google as the default store. Googling around a bit brought up one solution that _sounded_ reasonable: display only the Google contacts, in the address book, then Google will be the default for a new contact. But, even this doesn't work; if I only display Google contacts, my phone still selects the Phone storage as default and I **cannot see my newly created contact.** Any suggestions as to how I can set the default contact store? Or is this impossible? |
41274 | Samsung Galaxy P1000 stuck on black screen | I Have a Galaxy Tab GT-P1000N. Its Android version was updated via Odin 3, from Android 2.2 to Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread [XWJQ8]. Everything is going fine but after the rebooting my Device (it's auto reboot) is stuck on a black screen. I have tried some other Firmware, but the problem persists. I have tried to enter Download mode by pressing the `volume down` and `power` key, but I can't see anything on my screen -- just my PC gives me a beep like it detects a USB Device, and Odin ID:COM turns in yellow color and message say ‘Added!’.

41277 | Can not copy files from PC to Galaxy SIII | I have a Galaxy SIII GT-I9300 and 32-bit Windows 7 PC. When I connect the SIII to the PC it gets detected and I can browse phone and memory card. But I am not able to copy files from PC to SIII neither using Windows Explorer nor Kies: The copy window starts and is stuck there only with little bit progress bar progress. My PC can detect my other device (Samsung Galaxy Pop) and copy files fine. I checked for updated drivers etc but everything is latest, USB debugging is turned on. Any idea what I could try to solve this issue? |

77404 | Faulty battery status indication | I have a Huawei Honor U8860 with Android ICS. I use two Mugen Power batteries. I always use one battery until it's empty, then charge it to full while using the other battery. Recently Android battery level has started to behave incorrectly. The battery level drops dramatically, then stays at the same level for a long time. I experience similar behavior with all the three batteries I own: the Mugen Power batteries and the original battery. Below is the battery status chart at this moment. Suddenly the battery level dropped to 3 % yesterday, but it stayed there and I've been able to use the phone actively for another day since then. Clearly the battery is still performing well, but Android gets incorrect information about the charge, sometimes even shuts the phone down. I tried calibrating with Battery Calibration app, but the problem has only got worse. Any ideas what's causing the problem? How does Android get the battery level? From the electronics integrated into the battery or by deducing from the voltage level? What does the calibration actually do?  |
42892 | How to pack a firmware update image | I've downloaded a several firmware versions to install on android tv stick to take it out of its boot loop.

42897 | What kind of power saving smarts does Android already have? | I just d/l tasker and it's been really interesting (although not as interesting as I would've liked since I feel a lot of the good features require a root). I would like to optimize my Galaxy s3 so that it uses less battery power in a way that has minimal effect on my usage. I have a few suggestions but they seem fairly obvious things so I'm not sure if they are already implemented in the OS and I don't need to create a tasker profile for it. * Turn off 3G when I've got WIFI on. I only need the mobile networks for phone calls when I've got wifi so I would prefer not to have 3G on. * Turn off 3G if i'm in a low signal area - I hear if you're on the edge of 3G connectivity, it'll use lots of power constantly connecting to 3G. Does android have a way to stop that from running the battery down or should I create a tasker profile for it? * Power saving mode on when the screen isn't on. There isn't much the phone needs to do when I'm not using it so are there already processes built into android to turn the CPU down etc. or do I need to create a Tasker profile for it? It can chew up to 25% of my battery life overnight sometimes. Anyway, do any of those profiles seem worthwhile to do or are they already built in features of android? |
39651 | Why don't I get Google Talk notifications on my Android from people using iPhones? | I'm using the stock Google Talk app. I don't seem to have a problem getting Google Talk notifications from people on a PC. However, I don't get any notifications at all from people using iPhones (or, at least certain apps). I can still see their messages in my Google Talk app if I open it manually. I just don't get any notifications when a message arrives. Why would the _other party's_ device affect my ability to get notifications? Is there any way to fix this, or is there a third party Android app that handles notifications better than the stock one? My device is a Verizon Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535) running CyanogenMod 10.1-d2vzw (Android 4.2.1). |
32948 | How can I use Flash Player now that it's no longer supported? | I know that Adobe Flash Player is discontinued for Android devices, but is there an alternative way to continue using Flash on an Android 2.3 device?

39285 | How to get Flash player on android phone and tablet w/o rooting? | So, Google decided not to have Flash player compatible with the Android system a few updates ago, and it sucks... since a few websites I used to venture to heavily use Flash. I'm not going to get into the reasons why Google decided to do that or how I feel about it, but I do want to find out if any of you guys know how I can get Flash content to work on my Droid X phone and Nexus 7 tablet without rooting them or putting them into any sort of potentially harmful situations? |

18819 | Why does Android Wi-Fi not get disabled? | I have Android 2.3.4. I have noticed that even When I turn off Wi-Fi, I still keep getting notifications, like - Gmail, Gtalk and Google+ notifications. If I open the said App then it says that it is not connected to internet. So, my hypothesis is that maybe when I disable Wi-Fi, Android does not terminate currently established connections. It only denies new connections. But this does not explain why in this case the notifications are usually delayed, sometimes, by few hours or a full day. What is happening and how do I actually disable the Wi-Fi? PS: I use the "Status Switch" widget to turn/off the Wi-Fi. UPDATE: the phone doesn't have a data plan, so data isn't coming in that way. |
22124 | How to change the Messaging and keyboard apps to stock ones on LG Optimus Net P690 running Cyanogenmod7 ? | Is it in any way possible to replace CM7's boring messaging interface with the stock messaging app from the LG stock roms (the one with chat bubbles), also, where would I be able to get a keyboard similar/exactly the same to the stock LG keyboard on the Optimus Net? This is what the stock keyboard looks like (I couldn't find a picture in portrait mode, sorry): . I found a ported stock LG keyboard, but as you can see in Cyano, there is a useless smilie button and every single button is bigger than what they're supposed to be from the LG keyboard. Could someone help me/direct me to how I might be able to replace the messaging app and keyboard from CM7 with the apps I'm looking for? Thanks! |

37327 | How can I remove unwanted app icons from the screen? | I'm new to using an android.

39562 | How can I determine what app put a spam shortcut on my home screen? | Recently, I discovered that some app on my phone had taken it upon itself to place a very nice "Free Games" shortcut on my home screen. I haven't installed any new apps in the recent past, so I would be very curious to find out what Application is behind this. I've dumped logcat (with 'logcat -v time > log.txt') and gotten the last several hours of logs, but I have no idea what intent to search for. Is it possible to find the culprit this way? If not, how can I proceed with my witch hunt? Thanks for any advice! |

33030 | Android device can support SD Card of up to 32 GB, so FAT32 is more suitable? | May I assume that there is no point to format your SD Card (assume you have the 32 GB size) to NTFS if the device can support SD Card of up to 32 GB and FAT32 maximum limit is also exactly 32 GB? The reason for asking such question is that since the device can only support 32 GB, so I can assume that NTFS will likely not be supported by the device, or I cannot assume in this way? And this FAT32 will be more suitable and likely to be accepted by major android devices? |
33031 | Android devices with 2 SD Card Slots | As android devices support SD Card with up to 32 GB. Are there any android devices that support and have two SD card slots? This is to remove the hassle to remove a SD card and insert another SD card into the same slot, which might result in faster wear and tear to both the SD Card slots and the SD cards. Also, it will also mean that the android devices can support 2 x 32GB = 64GB space. Also, I will not need to spend lots of money on Internet bandwidth to access my data in the "Cloud"! And lastly, I will not be limited by the storage space capacity in my phone. |

The Google Maps app does not store maps reliably, so it is risky to rely on it without an Internet connection. |

To back this up, I have found that the list of contacts downloaded from Facebook is incomplete, so I am wondering if it is crashing halfway through the sync process. Rather than just disabling it to stop the error, I want the Facebook contact sync to work properly. Is there a way to fix this? |

71481 | ADB Push not keeping file permissions, specifically execute permission | I "inadvertently" wiped system on my tablet with adb. No critique needed. I've already called myself all the names. What I need now is a way to put at least the "sh" program back on using adb or other program with “x” permission so that I can adb shell once again. Currently, adb removes the “x” permission when using the push option. I examined the adb source code and found one line in the sync section that seems to change permissions to 644. This is a project/challenge to recover this brick. I already have a replacement. Any solutions are welcome. Motherhood comments are not necessary please. Thanks. P.S.

71483 | Volume reset to 'safe level' on Charge Complete | The volume on my GS4 was automatically reset to the Android defined "Safe Level" when my phone reached 100% charge. What happened is that I was listening to music through headphones in Google Music. I also had my phone charging at the same time. When the battery got to 100%, it decreased the volume for a second so that I could hear the notification (normal behavior). After the _Full Battery_ notification, the volume of the music didn't return to normal. When I went to turn it back to where it was before, I got the "Listening to music at a high volume could ..." notification on the screen. Why would the phone being fully charge make the music volume to back to the Android defined safe level even though I had it set higher and was currently listening to something? (P.S. I looked through this Stack Exchange and didn't find an answer to my question, but if there is one, just let me know.) |
71482 | Why does predictive text stop suggesting anything except custom words and contact names? | Without changing any settings or installing any apps that would (as far as I know) have any effect on the keyboard or dictionary, **the keyboard's predictive text randomly stops using any common dictionary words and only suggests words that I either manually added to the dictionary or words included in the names of my contacts**. * Galaxy Nexus * The default keyboard (not a downloaded app) * Using Android 4.2.2 * Input language setting is "use system language" * Add-on dictionaries installed: English and English (US) I've found similar questions, but they all seem to concern new phones or phones with new OS versions that _never_ had working text prediction, whereas mine did for years until recently and its OS hasn't been updated in over a year. **This happens inconsistently** , maybe a third of the time I fire up the keyboard and start typing, and with **no obvious pattern** regarding what app I'm typing in, what contact I'm texting, what other apps are open, etc. Obviously, this makes narrowing down the problem a nightmare. Why does this happen and how do I fix predictive text so that it uses the common dictionary again? |
