Troubleshooting the Android Emulator
When starting up my emulator at home, the emulator takes forever to start. Sometimes it does not start. If the emulator starts, it is hit or miss if I get a network connection. When it does finally start, and I do get a network connection, it is incredibly slow. I have the same set up at work, and the emulator flies. It is a joy to work on it, while at home it is a borderline nightmare. My work computer and my home computer are both Windows XP. My home computer has 8 gigs of ram, while my work computer has MUCH less. My home computer has plenty of more processor. What should I look for in comparison or analysis in getting the emulator at home working better?

Samsung Galaxy S3 stock email app - Load more details
I use the S3s stock email app for my Hotmail account, but I haven't been able to find a setting to allow the emails to be automatically loaded in HTML view. For each email I have to scroll to the bottom of the email and select "Load more details", then the email loads in HTML and all the hyperlinks are converted to graphics. On my old Evo there was a setting where I could choose to receive emails as text or HTML, but I haven't been able to find that setting in the stock email app on the S3. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Get RSS link from page into RSSDemon
When I tap on an explicit RSS link shown in a web page, I have the opportunity to complete the action using RSSDemon. But no such thing happens for hidden RSS links, whose presence is revealed via the RSS icon in the address bar. When I tap on that, I can only add the feed to Google reader. Then I have to import the link from Google reader. How can this be bypassed? I want to go straight to my preferred RSS app.

Command or script to read a binary file and skip some bytes every X bytes
I am trying to find an Android shell command that is able to read a file but that has the power to skip, for example 512 bytes every 1024 bytes. Does such a command exist and is available for Android devices? I have looked at **dd** documentation but couldn't figure out if it is possible to use dd for that purpose. You can make dd skip bytes at the beginning of the file, you can make it read X bytes from a file, but I do not see how to get the feature that I described. **EDIT:** For my purpose the command/script should output to stdout, and the processing will read the output like a stream, so it will **not** be something like **"cat a file, do processing, cat a file".** It is like **"while true; do cat a file; done | processing".** The list of available commands is here: http://www.busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html

Does Rooting Exploit a Security Weakness?
According to the Wikipedia page for Andorid rooting, > The process of rooting varies widely by device, **but usually includes > exploiting a security weakness in the firmware of the device** _[emphasis > added]_ , and then copying the su binary to a location in the current > process's PATH (e.g. /system/xbin/su) and granting it executable permissions > with the chmod command. A supervisor application like SuperUser or SuperSU > can regulate and log elevated permission requests from other applications. > Many guides, tutorials, and automatic processes exist for popular Android > devices facilitating a fast and easy rooting process. Now, I wanted to know what exploits are being used in this process so I started looking around. I did find a couple references to Android exploits (notably RageAgainstTheCode), but a couple questions on here (this one and How does su regulate app permissions?) give me the impression that no actual exploit is being performed. From what I have gathered the process works like such: 1. Unlock bootloader (wipes device for security concerns) 2. Install custom recovery (will allow flashing arbitrary ZIP files) 3. Flash SuperUser.apk app As I understand it, the custom recovery is able to flash the ZIP file because it exists at a lower level (so to speak) than the ROM, and as such, can modify the ROM to install the `su` binary and SuperUser app. That is, no real exploit is being used to attain root. Am I grossly missing something here? Is some exploit being performed implicitly during one of these steps? As a note, I'm talking about a user rooting a phone, not about a malicious piece of code getting root access.

auto brightness not working in vertical position
I am having Samsung galaxy note 3 with android 4.4.2 kitkat. In my device the auto brightness does not dim the brightness when outer light sources are turned off and my phone is placed in VERTICAL POSITION. Apart from it, the auto brightness works fine when phone is placed horizontally on a flat surface like table. So why it is not working in vertical position?

Bootloop, Stock Recovery, USB debugging off
I'm using a _Samsung Galaxy S DUOS GT-S7562_ running Android ICS. Before my phone got bootlooped, I used to change the `build.prop` in `/system/build.prop` to add a navigation bar to it. I added `qemu.hw.mainkeys=0` at the end of the texts, and did a reboot. Now my device is bootlooping. I only had a stock recovery, and did a factory reset – but still no luck. It only boots to the Samsung boot animation. I tried to enter Download Mode to use Odin, but it surprised me that I can't even go to USB state; so it's impossible for me to do it also. And lastly, I don't have a backup either. But I found a firmware exactly for my device. Can anyone please help me?

LAN not working properly from one specific device
I have a Nexus S running cm10, which can connect without problems to the internal LAN. However my Nexus One running cm7, for reasons that are completely beyond me, fail to connect to it. I'm totally clueless, I have no idea where I could investigate any more: * it is connected to the internet via Wifi, and access to the Internet works * access to the LAN, i.e. 192.168.1.0/24 addresses, doesn't * except that it correctly gets its IP address and routing informations via DHCP, just like the other device Any idea? * * * They are all in the same net * 192.168.1.152 cm7 * 192.168.1.156 cm10 * 192.168.1.169 osx * 192.168.1.1 router Investigating further I've noticed it fails to connect to my laptop (running OSX), but can successfully ping both the router (obviously) and the other android device. _(I'd stress that the other android device successfully connects to the laptop, instead)_ `logcat` didn't provide any useful info: * ping returned "destination unreachable", and didn't log anything (even at Verbose level) * browser just returned a useless `E/Tab ( 8901): onReceivedError -6 http://192.168.1.169:8888/ The connection to the server was unsuccessful.` * vlc remote reported that it found two computers `I/*** bonjour ***( 8801): dbg: *** Added Computer [Palace of the Nine Moons] on 192.168.1.169 I/*** bonjour ***( 8801): dbg: *** Added Computer [Andalù IV] on 192.168.1.170 `, but nothing else * * * Strangely, if I turn on the wifi on OSX, they detect it: they only have problems reaching the ethernet, for some reason that I still totally miss (yes, not even cm10 can't access it any more). Disabling the firewall didn't work, but unless someone has a brilliant idea, I'd be inclined into thinking that is either OSX or the router that is going mad, rather than android. I'll leave this open, though, since I really can't yet rule out android being crazy.

Can't get past the pulsating boot screen after complete battery drain
My phone ran out of charge this morning after I made a couple of phone calls in bed. I was too lazy to get out of bed to plug it in. When I plugged it in later, and pushed the power button, the phone is continously looping the pulsating X loading animation. The only way to switch it off at this point is to replace the battery. I read about the hard reset and tried that too. It didn't help. Update: I also tried setting the battery aside for over 15 mins before replacing and trying it again. I was able to get into recovery by holding down the POWER + VOL UP buttons. Tried the "wipe cache partition" option thinking that the phone refused to start due to some stale cache. It didn't help either. What else can I do to revive the phone? I would like not to lose data, if I can. But it's more important to get the phone working.

27 MB + 4.2 MB = 28 MB? Where'd my space go?
After getting the "low on space" message on my Nexus One for the umpteenth time, I went to into the "manage applications" screen to uninstall applications I hadn't used recently. I waited for the screen to fully load before I did anything. It said I had 27MB free on my internal phone storage. I then clicked on the "Fooducate" app I had installed. It said it was using roughly 4.2 MB of my internal storage for the application, plus about 12 KB of data. It was installed on the phone and moving it to the SD card was not an option. I clicked "uninstall" and the uninstall process ran. After that, the "manage applications" screen claimed I had 28 MB left. What happened to the other 3.2 MB? I would think that if you have 27 MB, and you uninstall a program that's using 4.2 MB of space, you would then have 31.2 MB of free space. **Update:** After turning my phone off and then back on again, and then going to the "manage application" screen, it now says 32 MB free, which is more like what I'd expect. So I guess my revised question is - why wasn't the space immediately available, and is there something I can do to free it without cycling the power?

I recently learned about Google Voice and was wondering if I could apply it to my current cellular situation. I have a pre-paid minute plan with an Android phone. Ideally, I'd like to use minutes whenever I'm not under a Wi-Fi network, and when under a Wi-Fi network texting and talking would be free. Is this possible with Google Voice?

Setting wallpaper - wrong orientation
I'm trying to set the wallpaper on my Nexus7, and no matter what I try, the blue "crop" widget that lets you specify the area of the image that is the wallpaper is always in the wrong orientation. So when I make this widget as large as possible, it's only covering part of the image. The image size is 1280x800, so I should be able to use the whole image, but I can't because it seems to be always getting the orientation wrong. I've tried rotating it, this doesn't seem to make a difference. The resize widget is always the opposite of what I want it to be. It's almost as if it's detecting the image's aspect ratio and doing the opposite of what it should be doing. I've made sure the image doesn't contain any meta data which could be specifying another orientation. I'm sure there must be something I'm misunderstanding about how this widget works. It's driving me nuts though! I've attached a screenshot to make it more clear what I mean: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Zimse.png)

How to stop Skype starting on my Android phone when someone calls me on Skype and I answer on my PC
Whenever I answer a Skype call on my PC, my Android phone opens the Skype app (and starts using cellular data if it is not within wifi area). How do I prevent this occurring, since I do NOT wish Skype to start on my phone unless I choose to start the app there. Note that someone else asked this, but it was marked as a duplicate to a request as to how to turn off Skype on an Android and closed without an answer.. Thanks

Is there a minimal installation of ADB?
When it comes to troubleshooting, I often read recommendations like "Use `adb logcat` to find some more details". Looking for a good way to backup all my apps including their data, Full Backup of non-rooted devices refers to `adb backup` and `adb restore`. In several places one can find ways to remotely do on an Android device with the use of ADB, such as transferring files using `adb push` or `adb pull`, accessing the command-line via `adb shell`, and more. So ADB seems to be a good thing to have for an Android user. But how to get this "ADB thingy" on my computer? Not being a developer, installing the entire Android SDK seems a bit overkill. Is there a more minimalistic approach available?

How can I modify the phone model in build.prop to get unsupported apps?
I currently have a rooted HTC Legend. In light of the current Android Market sales, I would love to be able to purchase some of the apps on sale without a compatible handset, since I plan to get a GNex in the next few weeks. I've read that it may be possible to modify my build.prop file to a more modern handset, however beyond this suggestion, I can't find any more specific details, nor which phone model would be ideal for this. How can I do this? I note that a number of people complain they've bricked after messing with build.prop. Is this a real danger or would it just require fixing the build.prop from adb, or reflashing the ROM?

Video recording asus transformer
I would like to record video of the screen of my asus transformer. I don't need high fps. 12 to 15 fps would be more than enough for my needs. I tried searching for an app on the market for this purpose. But there doesn't seem to be any app that allows me to record video of the screen of my asus transformer. So, I was wondering if there was any app that i am not aware off or maybe some other way through which i can record some video of my asus screen. Someone at #android proposed the idea of using the hdmi out on my asus to connect it to an hdmi input on a pc. But unfortunately i only have an hdmi out on my pc as well... If hdmi is the only option I have, could anyone please tell me if there is any way of making my laptop receive hdmi signals? Thanks

MID android an ME
Asking this question to get a better idea of where to look for software for what i want to do as i have exhausted Google Play for apps that might do what i require, so if you could advise me if the Code exists for: I have a Behringer BCF 2000 that I would like to use as a controller on a Android DAW, The BCF 2000 Is a MIDI controller that sends velocity or other live input to a Computer. I have and specifically bought a Asus Transformer (TF 201) because it has the one USB port so I can use a MIDI keyboard to input notes. So I would like to know: Is it possible for a program to be inserted inbetween my DAW 'Caustic' and the controller that will enable for MIDI velocity messages to be recieved without any further coding for Caustic? / Does Android have the capability to receive messages other than note's; Does anyone know of a app that will possibly allow the control to be used in a live mixing format, i can see that similar apps have come out to use this controller for lighting use..

How to reinstall corrupted Android applications with ease?
The other day I woke up, my Android phone was frozen and only removing the battery helped to reset it. It looks like overnight something terribly went wrong as the memory card was not readable anymore and even after formatting it, it got a few bad sectors in the report. I have about 150 applications installed and some of them which were moved to the memory card obviously do not work anymore. I had backup of my data but not the apps, as I thought I could always download them again. However, I can not find an easy way to do it. First of all, the corrupt applications still show up under settings/applications/manage applications, but the only way I can tell if they are missing or not is that their icon is some default Android robot with an SD card next to it and the names are not human friendly but more like `com.biggu.shopsavvy`. I tried different apps to solve the problem, but I could not find any which would be better than doing it manually. What I need is to either reinstall all apps with a tap of a one button or install a list of apps in batch from the market.

After a relaod of the card still shows the same.Applies to all of the above palimpset -- Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/sdd1 : I/O Error gparted -- Attempt to write sectors 128-128 outside of partition on /dev/sdd None helped. So my question is. What can i use to make it work again. Any low-level formatting tools? Can my card be somehow in R/O mode? Also ClockworkMod Recovery seems to not be able to partition/format it. It just says it completed the operation but nothing changes.

Why does the number of apps "optimized" not reflect removed apps?
I've read the details on what optimizing does here: What kind of app optimization does Ice Cream Sandwich do at the first reboot? And my question is slightly followup. I run CM nightlies on my TF700T using TWRP to flash and erase the Dalvik cache each time. I understand the Optimizing process rebuilds the Dalvik cache, but it appears it tries to rebuild the cache using every single app I've ever installed, not just the ones currently installed. The total number of apps it optimizes never goes down, always up. I presume this means there is a list somewhere in the system with all the apps this process must go through. Is there an app or utility that can update this list and justify it against a list of apps actually installed? Or am I making incorrect assumptions and is this process also running through system apps that are not subject to user removal?

Can a dual SIM Android phone receive voice calls to both SIMs?
I am looking for a dual SIM phone, that will allow me to receive calls (not simultaneously of course) to both SIMs without any manual switching. From what I have seen Android 4.0 seems to support voice call for SIM #1 and video call (which seems to imply voice too) for SIM #2. That seems like you get 2G voice coverage for SIM #1 and 3G voice coverage for SIM #2. Is this true? I guess this may vary depending on particular phone model, but what solution is Android dual-SIM industry mainstream currently?

Combining Facebook contacts with SIM card numbers
I have a new HTC One Mini and I can only import _all_ of my contacts from Facebook, not just the ones I want in my phonebook contacts list, so that is really annoying. Also, I added a few numbers to the SIM card, but I can't combine them with the Facebook contact that ubersync has come up with; I also can't add numbers to the existing Facebook contacts. In addition, I can't edit the contacts I've added so far to the SIM card, so they can have images like in Facebook. Adding contacts to this phone is really annoying the hell out of me, am I being stupid?

How can I clear the cache(s) of my g2x from adb?
I installed clockworkmod as the recovery, then installed cyanogen 7 nightly for the g2x. I used Rom Manager to do so. The problem I'm having is cyanogen shows the boot loading screen in an infinite loop. From what I have read on the Internet, I need to clear out the cache on the phone, and it should boot. I can `adb reboot recovery` but it does not go into clockworkmod. Instead, it shows the icon of an arrow leaving a box - I suppose an indication it is trying to install an update. I cannot get it to boot into recovery mode. Is it possible to do so? Or can I clear the cache or reflash the LG G2X using adb? My poor phone! I am lonely without it!

What will I lose if I manually upgrade Galaxy Tab 7" to Honeycomb 3/3.1?
I have a Galaxy Tab 7" WiFi running Android 2.2.1. This particular device will be used for business purposes (I am working on developing some local custom apps for my department), and I would much prefer to use Honeycomb instead, due to the encrypt device support. However, reading around I understand I will lose some functionality if I manually upgrade. What will I lose? Also, as an addendum, if I upgrade but it does not work out, I assume I can do a factory reset. If this is incorrect, please let me know. Thanks! Jared

Upload a downloaded file
I downloaded a zip-file with the browser to my phone. Now I want to either upload it to a web site (form POST) or mail it as an attachment. In the stock browser (HTC Desire with Android 2.2) I can only choose to upload from Gallery, Voice recorder, or Music. In the Gmail app I can only attach photos and in the Exchange app can't seem to attach downloaded files either. And finally, in the list of downloaded files in the browser I can only choose to Open (fails for zip) or Delete the file. Is there another way?

Battery Boost?Drain?
I recently updated my Note 2 to 4.3 and it has been working quite well. But today in the train I was using it and the battery level drained to 20%, Since the battery was low, I switched it off and came home. When I put it on charge and turned it on- the battery level said 67%. How come it got such a boost? When I took it to work today, it had only about 56% and I come home with 20 and all of a sudden its 67% How?

How to create a link on Android without installing a 3rd party app?
I installed some apps but I do not have a shortcut to it anywhere (these apps include Google Maps). The only way for me to start those is through Google Play. I want to create a link to an app on the "desktop" in Android (not sure what the thing is called on Android, it's the screen that you get back to when you press the Home button (the symbol with the little house)) without rooting or a 3rd party app (except maybe for a terminal app, like Terminal IDE, which does not have mklink which might be used to achieve this). Any way of doing that?

2G vs 3G Talktime
When I was going through specs for my Xperia SP, I found the 3G talk time to be more than the 2G talk time. Talk time: Up to 10 h 25 min (2G) / Up to 19 h (3G) More over I went through the specs of a few more new mobiles and in all specs 3G talk time was more than 2G talktime. As per the specs of my old mobile the 2G talktime is more than 3G talktime. 1. How is it that the new mobile are able to save battery by using 3G? 2. And when data is turned off will there be any difference?

Phone response slow, responds 2 - 10 seconds after touching screen or not at all, random lock ups, and power downs
I have a non-rooted T-Mobile G2x by LG running Android 2.3.3. I have had it about two weeks and have noticed several problems. Randomly shuts down. I go to use my phone and it doesn't come on, I press the power button and nothing happens, unless I long press which makes the phone boot. This has happened 3 or 4 times. The battery has a good state of charge, it's happened just sitting on my desk as well as when I wear it on my belt. It's also done this in the middle of a voice call. Runs slow. I turn on the phone, the screen comes on, I swipe my unlock pattern, nothing happens for 2 - 10 seconds, then it shows me the pattern and unlocks the phone. It takes several attempts to unlock the phone because it doesn't always see the whole pattern. I swipe correctly the phone just doesn't pick it up. The phone has locked up a couple of times, the screen is blank, playing with the power button does nothing. The only way I have been able to get the phone to come up is to remove and reinstall the battery. The only thing I have noticed when it runs slow is I seem to be running out of ram. Less than 10%. If I kill the apps, it runs fast again, until the ram is gone which only takes 2 - 3 minutes before all of the apps using RAM have restarted. Should I take the phone back to T-mobile and exchange it? If so any tips? I can just imagine the bureaucracy that I will have to deal with to get this accomplished.

Install Bash on rooted Kindle Fire
I just rooted my Kindle Fire and installed QuickSSHd, an SSH daemon app. I can log in via SSH (using Putty in Windows 7) and become root, etc. It appears, however, that the only shell installed is `sh` which lacks many of the niceties of other shells like Bash. So, is it possible to install Bash (or a Bash-like shell with more features than `sh`) on a Kindle Fire?

Google IO Galaxy Tab 10.1 refuses to power on, any hope of revival?
This is one of the some thousand limited edition Google IO handout Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 devices. Was known working for quite some time, and susceptible to the "sleep of death" that left it not powering on until you long press the power button while touching the screen. Device has never been rooted, used only lightly, never dropped, everything points to a simple software/firmware problem (doesn't even have the screen glue problem like others in its batch). Charging cable works (and has worked in the past), device "should" be charged (left plugged in overnight), though they designed it without **any** hardware indicators of charge status. Things I've tried that numerous forums like XDA and android Forums recommended **(but do nothing)** : * Hold power button for 30 seconds * Hold power button for 30 seconds and touch/wiggle finger on screen (used to help, no longer does anything) * Hold power and up/down volume alternatively (or any combination thereof) At this point, this is theoretically just an expensive paperweight, therefore I am quite willing to do damage to it to get it working again, or simply use it as parts. This must be a "simple" firmware problem, so I feel that I shouldn't have to take a spadger to it and wrench out the battery or solder in a debug cable just to get it to do something. Any ideas? **EDIT:** To note, on neither Windows or Linux does any device show up or get mounted when the device is plugged in during any of the procedures mentioned above. Nvflash sees nothing. **EDIT 2:** To those reading unfamiliar with the Galaxy Tab 10.1, it seems to be a mostly poorly designed device with only three physical buttons (Power, Volume Up/Down), and possibly zero indicator lights. This makes the number of options left for the consumer to debug it next to nil. I'll wait a week, and unless anyone has a better idea, I'm literally cracking the sucker open and physically removing the battery. **EDIT 3:** Okay Android peeps, I couldn't wait any longer and went ahead and cracked the sucker open. They were right, the back plastic is very delicate (and snapped in two places, purely cosmetic though). It's fairly tidy inside, and the battery and guts are easily exposed. My attempt to read the voltage of the battery revealed it to be.. basically dead. No real voltage at all. My best guess at this point is that somehow the charging circuitry requires some kind of minimum current available in the battery before it will attempt to charge it (or perhaps enough to boot and allow the software to handle it). Seems pretty stupid to me. If I can get my hands on a replacement battery, or a something to charge the existing battery directly, **OR** a wall wart to provide the 3.7 volts directly, I will try that. Other than that, looks like I'm totally SOL and I'd have better luck posting into the Hack-a-day QA forums than a respectable software specific support forums like Android Enthusiasts. Thanks again guys! Maybe I'll be back again later for assistance getting Ubuntu installed on my Droid 1. **FINAL EDIT!:** After a quick jaunt over to Hackaday, I got some confirmation that the actual read voltage across my battery terminals was BELOW the minimum for Li-Ion, so they battery was basically dead. Another quick run to ebay found me a "new" one for ~$35. 5 days later and I shoehorned the new battery in and tada! It works! .. sort of. Due to the undue stress of being discharged (or perhaps being so lonely), the boot process was broken and it was stuck in an endless boot loop. AFter about 4 hours messing with it trying this method to do fastboot and user wipe, but finding out that windows failed to recognize the it as anything but "Unkown Device", after another 2 hours of hacking around i come to find out it's my horrible cheap chinese knockoff cable that's the culprit!! Found the original cable, plugged it in, fastboot works, try to wipe with fastboot -w, just hangs. Fooey. Next I follow this unbrick method using the odin download to flash a "Stock" rom. This works! Yay!!! Unfortunately it's back to android 3.2... but I can't complain, as I am now the proud owner of a $35 (+ 10 hours of work) android tablet. _What_ an adventure. Hopefully this log will help someone else along the way in their own tablet adventure.

Need to retrieve sms from a wildfire s with broken digitizer
my problem is that I need to retrieve my sms for court from a HTC Wildfire S with a broken digitizer. The phone is not rooted and so far, everything I have tried has not worked. The problem I seem to have is that when I connect the phone to the laptop, the phone is in charge mode and I have no way of changing the connection mode. I'm quite new to android as you can probably all gather. But short of replacing the digitizer, I'm stuck on what I should do. Any help would be brill, thanks

loosing data after automatic shutdown due to critical battery!
Recently I have been suffering from various battery issues ranging from fast battery drains to unexpected shutdowns at safe battery levels. But most striking is the fact that I lost all system data (like system app data, WiFi Access points, etc) after my most recent shutdown! The strangest thing is that i have not lost any data of any non-system apps! I guess my question would be: **Can a shutdown due to critical battery cause my to lose only system data? If yes, how did it happen and how can i prevent it?** **The Shutdown:** The shutdown involves a short flickering of the screen (in a rare case it also made a soft high pitch sound with a very soft pop) followed by the screen going completely black! All happening within a fraction of a second right in the middle of an app without any warning or prompt making it less like a typical shutdown and more like a crash! Also worth mentioning: * After the phone freezes sometimes, I force a restart and after powering up the battery would have dropped up to 30% (that makes a 30% battery drop in under 2 minutes!) * The frequency of these shutdowns increased after using a battery hogging app (EveryCircuit) * I have 2 Samsung Galaxy SII batteries which I occasionally exchange * I once kept my phone for charging at 3% but instead it discharged to 0% before the charge began to climb * **(Edit)** I have not overclocked or over-volted any hardware manually, but I have for a short amount of time under- **volted** the 200MHZ power state as an attempt to save battery (but I cant say whether the ROM itself has done any Over/Under-Clocking/Volting) Things are starting to get hilarious with my phone! Any insight is appreciated! Specs: * I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy SII (18 months old) * Running Kitkat ROM (CyanogenMod 11) _Similar symptoms addressedhere_

Active auto correction like in iOS
I'm pretty new from Android, just dumped my iOS device. I find it pretty annoying with this feature missing that is auto correction and auto-complete. In iOS whenever you misspell a word or type a keyboard key near the desired one, the system will automatically change it to the correct word unless demanded otherwise. Also the auto complete contains hell of a bigger dictionary. Do you know of a similar app/setting in Android? It takes me much more time to type in my Android.

Outer-shell music buttons like in iOS
I just dumped my iOS device for the sake of Android (iTunes, flash lack and other reasons). I'm trying to retain the features I got used to on the iOS. One of them was the ability to start, pause, skip etc. in music while screen is locked: **Important:** I'm an Android noob (I'm a .NET dev), I believe there has to be a way to control the device's music in a player-agnostic manner, so I'm rather looking for a "music controls lock-screen" or "music controls FOR my lock-screen" application rather than a "music player with ls controls". ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7Ygvs.png) Is there any similar app/feature on Android? My device: Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 (YP-G70). **Note** my device is locked with a lock pattern. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/KCEAV.jpg) *Pictures are downloaded from the web and are for illustration purposes, they do not reflect my own phone / settings.

how does battery calibration work?
There are several posts on how to calibrate android batteries but none describe its working. How is it that the system can determine at what voltage the battery is considered to be charged (100% or say 4200mV) and what voltage is considered to be discharged (0% or 3400mV)? "Android stops the battery from charging when reaching 100%" but if it is calibrated wrong, how come it wont stop charging at another voltage (say 4100mV) or even continue discharging at a voltage below its normal operation (say 3200mV)? Expected answer: * The actual technical insight on how android determines the current battery level **Edit 1:** I am stressing that my question has nothing to do with battery statistics and how much battery apps have used but solely on the procedure involved with determining the battery % _This is my first question please excuse any conventions I may have missed_

Fuhu Nabi 2 tablet bricked <3e> recovery
Total noob here, sorry... I've spent the last three weeks reading up on my issue with no progress at all. I think I have the answer, but need to run this by someone who probably knows! I modded a stock UK Nabi 2 with nabilab2 from the xda forums, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101277 I needed to do an ota update from Nabi and needed the device to be returned to stock. I lost my original backup so I used the generic stock backup that comes with nabilab2. This put the device back to US stock, with no root privileges or serial number. There were three ota's, during the instal of the third one, the device crashed - a ton of text sprawled up the screen the device shut down-restarted and booted into <3e> recovery. At that point I had lost TWRP recovery. Several weeks of reading and falling at every turn... Here is where I am now; The device boots and is usable, I can install apk files and use the tablet normally, however I cannot update. The last ota I need to install downloads via the update service, but fails with errors upon install. I also downloaded the ota manually via the xda forums nabi 2 wiki page and tried to install from the sd card but that fails too. (maybe as my UK stock with serial device, is now a US stock with no serial device, which is causing a signature fail during install of the latest ota?). The device is no longer rooted, so no shell r/w access. I cannot see the device in fastboot. Using the command 'reboot recovery' reboots the device but then it freezes up and is no longer seen via usb. When 'Fastboot recovery' option is chosen in <3e> recovery the device locks up, and the same thing happens when choosing 'Forced recovery'. All signed recovery .zips I have tried to install through <3e> recovery fail with the message 'file verification failed'. I'm kinda going round in circles with this... I know I need to root to get TWRP back, which allows a custom kernel/recovery to be used, but as I have no Su permission I have no r/w privileges to install the super user files and/or recovery image files to the necessary places. So unless there is some way to get the required recovery files onto the device by the adb command without su access (I'm doubtful of), or via a modded/signed recovery image zip file within <3e> recovery (which again I'm doubtful of, as other signed .zips fail), I'm guessing that the device is bricked? Any feedback to help solve/answer will be gratefully appreciated.

no password field on internet connect
So I got a new phone (Moto G) about 3 days ago (newest version os) and I've tried to connect to my school's internet, which requires usename/id and password. However, when I try to connect on my phone there's no place to enter my password, only the username. I can hold and select modify network to set the password there, but connecting after that always seems to trigger "authentication issues", even though I know my password is correct because I can connect on other devices.

How do I get wireless hotspot (tethering) working on an SGH-t999L with Andoid 4.3 LUVUBMK4
I have a galaxy s3 SGH-t999l which is the t Mobile G3 LTE version. I'm rooted using the root 66 MK4 stock recovery tar in odin. I'm running TWRP recovery as well. The problem is that I cannot get wireless tethering/hotspot to work no matter what I try- here are the things I've already tried- Wifi Tetherr Treve Mod - I've tried nearly every version of Wifi Tether as well, with nearly every possible setting. Tried setting it up with s3 profile, with galaxy nexus profile, etc. All this ever does is start with errors, tell me to check the log and then when I do tell me that there is no log file. Native Hotspot mod - this is an odin tar that is supposed to work, but there's no version for my baseband (Mk4), just MK3 and all that does is make android hang at boot to where I have to reflash android back to the t999l root66 MK4 stock. Wifi tethering 4.3 enable- there are a number of these, from zip files to install in cwm to directions on what files to edit and how in the android system. Nothing has worked. I got this app Wifi Tether Router that supposedly worked, but while I can get it to actually start up without any errors, as far as I can figure wlan0 doesn't exist. When I do a netcfg in terminal no wlan0 entry appears, at least. I can currently use FoxFi to tether with a usb cable and pdanet, so I'm not that pressed I'd just like to figure out how to get it to work.

Icon Editor for Android platform
I was looking for an app that would let me create and edit icons on my Android device. It actually doesn't need to be able to open .ICO files or anything like that, but rather normal image files like jpeg, png, or gif. There are a lot of normal photo editors available, but none of them are well suited to creating icons. I would like to be able to place the individual pixels, like when using the draw tool in gimp or PS. Thanks.
