76961 | looking for a kernel hack | I have am Samsung g4 with borked code and for forensics and repair reasons, I need to extract/pull a copy of the running kernel from the /boot sector which is only accessible via Odin. I have the framework repaired but without the device hardware configuration file, of course there is no way to boot the device using the defaults. cat /proc/config.gz -> file not found. There is no access to any defconfig for a proper build of the driver system and all I need is a working copy of the current kernel and boot files to flash the device with. How do you extract/pull a copy of a rom image (this device is a g4 sgh-i337 with a .md5 file)? Anything obvious won't work. |
34873 | Youtube videos open in browser by default | When I'm browsing the net using the Internet app (the default browser), youtube links open up in the browser and not in the youtube app. I don't get to choose any option like before. In Applications Manager > Internet **there are no defaults set**. I tried clearing cache & data for Internet & Youtube app but I still have this problem. Same thing with Facebook youtube links, they open in the browser, no option to have it opened in youtube...it's driving me crazy I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 with Jelly Bean. Turns out this problem is also on the HTC EVO (http://forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688866), something to do with an Apple lawsuit. If I remember correctly, **I didn't have this problem when I had Ice Cream Sandwich on.** Also, if I long press a YT link in the browser, no option shows up to open it in the app? What gives? |
23447 | Can I set up my Galaxy Tab to boot from the external SD card? | I'm having some issues with my Samsung Galaxy Tab, model SCH-I800 (VZW). It started giving me a reboot loop one day (completely stock at this point). I've flashed ROMs and whatnot in the past, so I thought this would be an easy fix. Based on the symptoms that this thing is exhibiting, I believe that the internal flash storage has gone bad. However, I do not have the desire to take this thing part and desolder the chip. So how do I get this Tab to boot off the external SD card? I've tried everything google has to offer thus far: * Manually (and correctly) partitioned SD card. * Edited `/etc/fstab` in addition to vold.fstab. * Flashed numerous ROMs. * Data/cache wipe in CWM 3.0.0.5 (for some reason, the newest version won't flash). Running `ls /dev/block` in an adb shell shows mmcblk0, mmcblk1p1, and mmcblk1p2. For some reason, after every reboot, `mount /sdcard` throws an error that references mmcblk0 instead of mmcblk1. I am at my wit's end. I think `/etc/fstab` isn't sticking after reboot, but I honestly don't know. My knowledge of *nix-based systems is somewhat limited. Is there any way for me to get this to boot from the external SD card? |

6154 | Is it normal for Android System to be the top battery user? | Over the past couple of days, the battery usage of my new phone has been as follows: > 34% - Android System > 28% - Cell Standby > 21% - Phone idle > 10% - Display > 03% - Google Goggles > 02% - Angry Birds > 02% - Majesty This feels very off to me. I would have expected the games and display to rank much higher in terms of battery use. Could the high usage of Android System indicate a potential problem, or is this fairly normal? Additional information: I typically end up with around 15:00 hours uptime and 3:45 hours awake by the end of the day. Daily use so far includes short bursts of playing games and Internet use, but no listening to music. I haven't had a day of heavy calls/texting with the phone yet. These numbers are all from the built in battery use screen under settings. |

When these things happen i cannot do anything. even if i try to power down by pressing the power key the dialog box disappears because of this random behavior. i observer this behavior mainly when i travel in bus. so i'm thinking that the vibrations are affecting the accelerometer and thus causing the random movements. When i'm in a stationary place i rarely see this issue, but it has occured. now i disabled 1) **Auto rotate** 2) **Disabled** all options in **Developer options** except **Force hardware rendering**. the system update will happen and i cant turn it off(atleast i dont know). my main useage in the Tablet are 1) pdf reading 2)videos 3)small c programmin(using CCtools). please help me with this issue. its is very very frustrating. last thing,i brought this device 28 days ago. also i would like links on reinstalling android. |

Other than what that blog post says I'm clueless about the process. As far as I know I need to revert back to the original bootloader and then install the original ROM that came with my phone? Does anybody have a link to the stock ROM that I need to use? My phone is a HTC One V on the 3 network (UK) and I got it in October. I'm also not sure if my phone is CDMA or GSM (from memory I think it's GSM). Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks! Edit: just found out my CID is HTC__001 |
75611 | How can I find a Device Compatible with a Given App? | I am desperately looking for an Android tablet that can run the App Carrot Fantasy. It does run on a _Samsung Galaxy Note 3_ smartphone, but I have not yet had any luck with any tablet I have tried. I managed to have the Play Store on a _Google Nexus 7_ show the app, but it would not offer an _Install_ option and just said _This app is not compatible with your device._ , without any further Information. On other devices, such as _Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014_ , the app does not even show up in _Play Store_. **Certainly, there must be a way for me as a user to diagnose why the app is deemed incompatible, what specific requirements it has, and then pick an Android tablet type that fulfils those requiresments - how?** I have searched for other similar questions, but they usually seem to be asked from the _developer_ point of view, i.e. how to modify the app manifest or how to check one's settings in Play Store. They did not provide any insights into what to do on the user side. |

33215 | How to monitor signal strength? | I own a Samsung Nexus S 4G on Sprint, and I am having terrible but intermittent problems with my signal quality on my phone. I have reasonably high certainty that this is a hardware issue (my wife has the same phone on the same plan and her phone usually works where mine does not), but due to the fact that the problem is intermittent I have not been able to duplicate it in the Sprint store. What I am looking for is a way (perhaps an app) that will periodically poll and record the signal strength on my phone, as well as recording when my phone fails to connect on a call (during the periods when my phone is acting up this will sometimes occur 10-15 times in a row). Are there any apps that provide this functionality, or would have anyone have any advice on developing this app on my own (I am a decent programmer, but I have never developed an Android app). |

41767 | Google settings permanent uninstall | Is it possible to permanently uninstall the **Google Settings** application? **update** Thanks for reply! My device is `LG Optimus Me`, Android version `2.2.2`, rooted My problem has 2 aspects: **1.** _Simple technical_. Due to quite low internal memory of device I had `memory low` message after automatically installing `Google settings`. I solve this problem by moving applications to SD card. I did it before manually, but after installing `app2sd` I found that I miss some movable applications. **2.** _Vague psychological_. I know, it's quite stupid, but I feel that my device is out of control in some way. Someone can decide what apps to install on my device and I can do nothing with it. I understand that it's part of (eco)system, but I don't feel that I need that `settings`. Also it's not very lightweight in terms of size. Maybe I'm too paranoid?.. |
41766 | Samsung Note 2 phone log not showing all logs? | The phone log does not show all the calls received or made. It's odd as it will show some but not all the time. e.g. When calling my husband's cell phone or receiving calls from him today, it shows some of the calls but not all of them. When calling my office, it doesn't show the call at all. Both the office & my husband are in my phone as contacts and speed dial? What am I doing wrong? |
41764 | Nexus One stuck in a reboot loop after a failed system update | I think that the device may have lost power during a system update and it now won't boot. It sticks in a reboot loop. Can I re-flash it easily? I suspect the firmware is broken. |
12941 | How anonymous are ratings/reviews in the Android Market? | I can see from reviews other people have given to apps in the market that at the very least your account name is made public. However, I was wondering: 1. Is that the only thing made public? 2. If I only give a star rating to an app (but no comment/review), is this anonymous? 3. Is there any way to leave anonymous review comments (i.e. without visibly associating your account name with it)? |
12947 | Access an Android purely via VNC enabling Tablet resolutions | I can currently access my Android via VNC on my iPad. Can I set the screen resolution of the Android to be the same as the native iPad resolution, giving me a pseudo Android tablet? Even if there is an answer which corrupts the screen on the phone itself is fine, seeing it will be accessed via the tablet. |
12944 | Android phone doesn't pops up with "USB connected" message | We have a Samsung GT i5800 with Android 2.1update1. When I put a memory card in it, it recognizes it, great! But: When I want to connect the phone via USB to my PC: this picture DOESN'T comes up:  And I can't see my memory card through my phone from my PC! On other phones, the memory card is OK. (tried another android phone). The USB cable is good, tried it with another phone. What could be the problem? Are there any settings that I missed? |
17741 | Sync issues Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 on MS Exchange mail account | My MS Echange mail sync won't work properly on my Samsung 10.1 Tab. It shows two flaws - whatever I try: 1. INBOX Mail sync is simply not complete. On Push, Manual or Timed delivery I will nog get all my mail in. 2. In my INBOX a lot of "empty mails" appear, dated 1-1-1970, the beginning of computer time. I simply delete them, but since they do not appear in my corporate email account or on the phone, they must be due to sync errors. Interesting background input is that I also have a Samsung Galaxy SII Phone, looking at the same mailserver and account and this perfectly gets all email in on the Phone. It looks at the same Exchange sever using the same details in settings. So it obviously can't have anything to do with Exchange, but is has to do something with the Galaxy Tab. Or am I very wrong? The tabmodel is GT-P7500, Android 3.2, kernel 2.6.36.3 The phone model is GT-I9100, Android 2.3.4, kernel 2.6.35.7. Please help - I'm getting no response from Samsung and can't find a clue on the net yet. Thanx in advance!! Rob. |
7078 | How Can I get Google Natives apps in Samsung Galaxy S? | As you know Samsung Galaxy S comes with yahoo apps (mail, chat, etc). My First Android Phone was a G1 and I really love the google natives apps like gtalk, search widget, etc.. The problem is that these apps are not in the market and I dont know Where to find them. I know That I could install another Rom that brings theses apps, but I really like How works my samsung with Eclair. I just need back my google apps. Some help? |
37775 | Activate Voice Actions from Lock Screen | Is there a way to activate Voice Actions from the lock screen? I've abandoned the iPhone world, and only miss this one feature. On my iPhone I could press and hold my home button to activate Siri. From there, I could run all kinds of voice commands... The way I see it on my lg-nexus-4 is that I have to unlock the phone and swipe up. Then say "google" to activate Voice. |
37774 | Is there a way to speak "Send" in order to send an SMS? | I know I can pull up my SMS app and press the microphone to activate speech. I speak my message, but then I need to press the "send" button to actually send my message. Is there a way to activate the send function by saying a keyword instead of pressing the button? Coming from an iPhone where Siri does most of this for me, basically I can say > Tell my wife, I'm running a bit late. Siri responds > Here's your message to _wife's name_ , would you like me to send your > message? I say > Yes and off it goes. I'm looking for something similar in Android. |
37776 | Using a USB game controller on Android | I have recently acquired a USB gamepad. It has two analog buttons, four L+R buttons, but is not a Playstation joystick -- it is recognized as a "Human iterface device" on Windows 7. Is there a way to make it work on ICS? I have a 4.0.2 Android tablet with a USB port and I can use a mouse or keyboard by just plugging it in, no other action needed. However the same doesn't happen when I plug my joypad. According to this question, "USB controllers follow a spec, any USB controller is supposed to work as long as it's not proprietary". My controller is generic (costed $20 and was recognized by windows without the need for a driver), but when I connect it on my tablet and nothing happens. |
37771 | Tethering / Portable Wifi Hotspot Samsung Captivate | Repeated attempts to get WIFI tethering failed, even after a reboot. I can turn on the wifi hotspot. I used these steps. 1. Settings > Wireless & networks > More... > Tethering & portable hotspot > Set up Wi-Fi hotspot, 2. (put in my settings - SSID, security "WPA2 PSK", and password) 3. Save 4. Check "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" At this point the hotspot turns on and is discover-able by other devices, but when they connect to the hotspot, they can't access the internet. Anyone have a solution to this? Am I doing something wrong? Need this fixed before I travel... TIA Here's my device details: > Samsung Captivate > > Device Model: SGH-I897 > > Android version: 4.1.2 Jelly Bean > > CyanogenMod version: 10.0.0-captivatemtd EDIT: Ok, I got it working. I connected my laptop using USB tethering, which worked immediately on the first try. Once I had done that I disconnected from USB and tried enabling the portable hotspot again. This time, connected devices could use the internet via the hotspot. Hope this helps other people. |
14391 | How does android transfer with bump apps work? | I've come across several apps which allows the user to transfer data (like files, photos, contacts) when they "bump" their phones. An example is Bump, which use the the bump to transfer files and add friends. The FAQ stated that this app uses various sensors and algorithms to "feel" the bump and the server will find matching bumps according to the sensor reading and algorithms. The FAQ also says that this app was designed with personal and data security in mind. How exactly does it work? How does it know that I am toasting/bumping with another person? I mean I don't think GPS can track the phones _that_ accurately. And how does it transfer the contacts and photos? And how can it correctly determine who is toasting with whom if there are multiple users in the same room? How is the security and confidentiality protected? |
18630 | Gmail notifications aren't working as expected | Gmail notification doesn't work correctly for me. I think it happened after the latest Gmail application upgrade. I tried to clear Gmail data and cache, but to no avail. * I get new email notification after I mark read email as unread. It didn't used to happen before. * I have new email notification so I access inbox from android and the notification disappears.

18639 | Gingerbread phone only queries for AAAA records? | Since yesterday I have (in addition to the regular IPv4) IPv6 in my LAN at home (native IPv6 is provided by my ISP). I have Windows XP, Windows 7 and Linux desktops and an Android 3.1 tablet (Asus Transformer 101) that all work fine. They can access IPv4 and IPv6 websites on the internet. The problem is with my Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android 2.3.3). The system gets a public IPv6 address and an internal IPv4 address. When typing the URL of an IPv6 enabled site (like google.com or xs4all.nl) I get to see the site just fine. When typing the URL of an IPv4 only site (like android.stackexchange.com) I get an error stating the site cannot be reached. When I enter the IPv4 IP address I CAN reach the mentioned site with this phone. So I enabled debugging on my DNS (dnsmasq) server and I noticed that * all the clients that work do a request for the AAAA record and if that fails they try the A record. * the Android 2.3.3 phone ONLY does a request for the AAAA record and if that fails the whole thing fails. All clients (including the phone) get the same network settings. How do I fix this? |
18638 | Unable to move files to external SD card on SGS2 XXLP2 | Running a rooted Galaxy S2 with ICS XXLP2 official leaked rooted build. I have a 32GB microSD card mounted at /sdcard/external_sd in addition to the 16 GB internal storage. I'm unable to copy files to it now, it says write error or permission error. I use a terminal emulator to create a file touch /sdcard/external_sd/test and this works fine. If I use a file manager (ES File Explorer, which supports browsing / on rooted devices), I can't copy files from internal storage to the external SD card. Also, earlier I used the external card as the camera photo storage location, now I can't do so and the camera defaults to internal storage (which is low on space). If I do an ls -l of both sdcard and external_sd, I see the difference - sdcard has all files listed as belonging to sdcard_r, while external sd lists them as '1023'. So is this a leftover UID from a previous ROM install? I'm scared to do chown -R sdcard_r:system /sdcard/external_sd Is that the way to go about it..or is there any other way to fix permissions? |
12491 | ADB constantly disconnects, shows device offline | I'm not 100% sure if this should go here or the main Stack Overflow, but I decided to go with this area in hope I might catch someone with more specific experience with a similar problem. I have a Samsung Captivate (love it minus it's crappy GPS). I do development for it from 2 different computers, one at home, one at work. The machines are both Windows XP, Service Pack 3, 32 bit. I have the same Samsung drivers installed, same versions of Eclipse, etc. The phone is currently rooted running the Serendipity mod, though this issue was exactly the same on the stock firmware. My home machine (the problem one) is an Athlon 64 2.2 Ghz. My work machine is a Core 2 Duo, don't recall the model. At work, I can do anything, mount the sdcard on the phone and copy easily, use adb to push, pull, uninstall, install. I can debug in ddms, install through Eclipse, etc, etc... At home, if I reboot both the computer and phone and pull up a command prompt without having Eclipse open, I MIGHT be able to see the device by typing adb devices. Usually then, I can clear the logcat or run the logcat fairly stable. If I open Eclispe (my development IDE) and try to run a new build of an app, I'll generally lose the connection. The same thing happens if I try to copy files either via mounting or using pull with adb. Some files will copy, and suddenly the connection will be gone and the device will show offline to adb, or not in the list at all, or listed offline twice. Rebooting the phone sometimes helps, but not always. There are times I close Eclipse and every other app, reboot my phone and still end up having adb completely unable to detect the device. I'll use adb kill-server and adb start-server but this generally doesn't help. I use Avast for my anti-virus at home, but have tried without any anti-virus installed at all and it's the same. I've recently reinstalled Windows due to a hard drive crash and it was the exact same. I've tried every different USB port on my tower. I hope VERY much someone can tell me what's wrong as I've been dealing with this for a year and a half now and it's about to make me lose my mind. -Jeremiah |
30744 | HTC One X switches to silent on its own? | My HTC One X constantly is switching from vibrate to silent on its own. I put it on vibrate, put it down, and next time I look at my phone, it is on silent. This is extremely annoying because I am missing phone calls and texts because my phone is on silent, when I put it on vibrate. Anybody else have this problem or know how to fix it? |
12492 | Reusing old Android phone? | I was curious if there is anyway to reuse an old Android phone? I have a Motorola Droid 1 that has been sitting around since I got my HTC Thunderbolt.

15441 | Using Odin to flash a custom rom | Nearly bricked my Samsung Epic Touch 4G. Managed to boot into Odin Mode with a USB jig. I'm back where I started now and need to re-evaluate what to do next. The phone is rooted, won't see the SD Card or Internal anything. My only option is using Odin to get a custom ROM back on there. Can someone point me to a step by step? My last attempt at this led me to having to work with the USB jig to get another crack at it. Thanks! |
12496 | Notification snoozes alarm? | Found a pretty interesting feature/bug from the combination of K-9 Mail and the stock Alarm app on my Galaxy S (rooted + Darky's Rom 10.2, 2.3.4). This morning, just as the alarm started to ring, I got an email. This caused the alarm to snooze and the short email notification sound I have to play. I'd think that an alarm would have preference over an email notification, and thankfully I had a regular alarm clock as a backup. Has anybody else run into this problem or is it just me? Suggestions how to avoid in the future? |

6978 | How can I fix notification vibration? | When I receive calls and alarms go off, the phone vibrates. However it won't vibrate for any notifications. Changing the vibrate setting from vibrate always or vibrate only when in silent mode has no effect. Does anyone know what can cause this and how to fix it? Is there a separate hidden setting for notification vibrations? For what it is worth I'm running a HTC Magic with a custom 2.3-Gingerbread ROM installed. This definitely used to work. Not sure what I did to break it though. * * * Update: I've got it working again by playing with the settings. Under Settings->Sound settings->Volume 'Use incoming call volume for notifications' was ticked. When I un-ticked this setting the notification vibration began to work again. This seems really strange to me and if anyone could help me understand what is going on it would be much appreciated. * * * Update 2: Installed an app called AudioManager. It has separate vibrate checkboxes for alerts and ringer. Using this helped too. Not 100% but it seems to indicate separate settings that are not exposed through the regular settings interface. |
40416 | Is the Nokia BH-214 bluetooth headset compatible with Android? | I have a Nexus S with Android 4.1.2. I purchased a Nokia BH-214 headset. The audio output works. The buttons work. But for some reason, the headset's microphone seems to be ignored by the phone. When I make a call, it uses the phone's microphone instead of the one in the headset. Is this some compatibility problem or I am doing something the wrong way? |
40414 | How can I undo the “Do Not Ask Again” for using my home screen wallpaper as my lock screen wallpaper as well? | I use an app called "Live Video Wallpaper" or LVW which is basically a live wallpaper that allows you to select a video as your live wallpaper. I have no problem with it but I accidentally checked the "Do Not Ask Again" option when I was asked whether or not I'd like to use my home screen wallpaper as my lock screen wallpaper too before I pressed no. Now I have the problem that I can't set my home screen as my lock screen as well. Before, I used LVW as my home then set my Galaxy S2 to use it as my lock screen wallpaper as well but now with the option set to "NO" and the default set to "Do Not Ask Again", I can't do it anymore since live wallpapers normally cannot be set as lock screens (LVW was my way to get around that). Is there a way I can "Unset" that "Do Not Ask Again" option for using my home as my lock screen wallpaper as well? Sorry if I'm redundant. |

28961 | Power button not working. Phone wont boot? | I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GTS 5830i. I somehow messed up the power button of my phone and now after the battery drained completely, It will not start. I tried looking up online for going into recovery mode (without using the power button) i.e keeping home key pressed while inserting the charging but nothing works. Finally, I thought I must have an option to boot up my phone through Eclipse DDMS but I cant find any option there either (See screenshot) Please help. * * * EDIT : Thanks to the answer by Sparx, I have solved this problem. Connect the phone via USB to your computer. If you have installed the Android SDK, go in the android-tools folder and execute adb devices (if on a mac, run ./adb devices) If your devices shows up in the list run ./adb reboot |

13720 | Can Android phones be set to automatically wipe all data after a certain amount of failed logins without an app? | A new policy at my work is being drafted regarding email access on phones. A requirement will be that the phone must automatically have all data erased after a certain amount of failed login attempts. Let's ignore the fact that it's pretty silly to a.) be allowing work email access on personal phones when such stringent expectations are in place, and b.) expect to be able to enforce something like this across a variety of phone platforms. Is it possible to set this up in vanilla Android without any apps? |

69966 | stuck installing cyanogenmod on htc one X+ | After using the standard android on my one X+ for a long time, I decided to get started with cyanogenmod today. I started by using this manual: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_endeavoru I already rooted it a long time ago, so I skipped everything up onto installing recovery. First I tried installing the enrc2b, but this gave me the error that my phone was a endeavoru (A bit strange, because everywhere they say that's a HTC one X, while mine is definitely a HTC one X+). After that, I continued with the version for the endeavoru and successfully installed cm-10.2.1-endeavoru.zip on it. After rebooting it, I got stuck on a endless boot screen of cyanogenmod. I noticed this line in the description: > his device, if unlocked with HTCDev Unlock, must have its kernel flashed via > fastboot. Extract boot.img from the CyanogenMod .zip package and flash it > from the bootloader with: fastboot flash boot boot.img I have no idea if I rooted it with HTCDev Unlock, I did it a long time ago, but I thought I would give it a try. After executing fastboot flash boot boot.img I rebooted, and now I am stuck at a endless HTC splash screen. I can still get to the fastboot and recovery menu, but have no clue where I wned wrong and how to continue. I already tried a factory reset, but to no avail. I also tried getting the backup that I made back from recovery, but it says it can't find any backups. any ideas how to continue...? * * * I got a little fit further. When I look at the boot screen, it should clearly be a enrc2b  I downloaded cm-10.2.1-enrc2b.zip , extracted boot.img and flashed that onto it. This at least brought me back to getting stuck at the cyanogenmod screen instead of the HTC screen. After that I tried to install cm-10.2.1-enrc2b.zip onto it, but that's giving me this error:  |

The problem is that I cannot use `stty` (or anything related to `tty`s) to set my terminal environment variables, and therefore I cannot use command line TAB completion or arrow-up, to fetch last command, or using `CTRL-C/D/Z` etc. I've also tried to play with various `set -o` options, to no avail. Now the strange thing is that this problem is not at all present when using a local shell through the Android terminal Emulator app, which seem to correctly assign a pseudo terminal with full job control. I've been searching high and low for how to resolve this, but gotten nowhere. My Samsung phone is using an SELinux (AOS 4.2.2) enabled version and I'm rooted with CF-Auto-Root (v1.94), and using the latest `ADB`. The stock mksh is `@(#)MIRBSD KSH R40 2011/10/07` and thus perhaps not fully compatible with SEL AOS's, but I cannot find a newer (~R49) MKSH ARM binary, to try with. * * * **EDIT-1** : I am using SSH server. **EDIT-2** : I just tried SSHelper which seem very nice (although 6 x larger).

The way to do this is by issuing: `su 0 setenforce 0` in whatever shell you can get, and then logout and login again. This will last until you reboot phone. **EDIT-5** : From what I understand, using the `ssh -t` option, is used to force allocation of a pseudy-terminal, and terminates the connection if that fails.

81432 | How to jump to next chapter when playing back videos? | I'm trying to play back .mp4 videos that have chapters embedded in them. They play fine on desktop players like VLC, and on my iPod, but I can't select/choose/jump to these chapter markers on Android. What am I missing? |
11375 | What is a tool to sort apps by their data size? | During development, internal storage size is severely needed. Cache cleaner is ok, however, apps have another component called data which can be cleared. Is there an app out there that organizes by an app's data size ? I'm not interested in app size, I'm interested in app's data size. |

19145 | Home screens maxed out (oops)... now I can't edit? | Someone was playing with my coworker's Samsung Galaxy Gio (Froyo), and added an eighth home screen. Now hitting Settings->Edit makes the phone crash, as does minimizing (pinching) on any home screen - in other words, there is no way to jump between home screens or delete the four or five screens she has no use for. I'm thinking a home screen launcher app would be a workaround, but is there any way to actually recover her original home screen setup? |
19143 | App installs result in "Process System Not Responding" message | After installing or updating an app in the newest version of the android market I receive the warning "Process System is not responding" with the option to either force close or wait. I choose "wait" and everything continues as normal. It's not a major issue just a mild annoyance, also it interferes with automatic updates. I have tried fixing permissions, wiping dalvik cache, etc. but to no avail. Has anyone else seen this issue? I have googled this problem but haven't found too many relevant threads.

In the slow motion settings it has (x1/2, x1/4, x1/8), please explain me which one to choose and how does these different options effect FPS ? |
60346 | How do I distinguish apps with in-app purchases from completely free apps on Google Play? | As far as I can tell, Google does not provide a mechanism for searching for completely free apps in Google Play. When using the `FREE` filter, you get both completely free apps and apps with in-app purchases, where some elements are unavailable without paying, so they are not completely free. In some categories, most of apps' content is available via in-app purchases only, so it's misleading to have such apps in the free list. In the Google Play application, I am able to detect that an app isn't completely free If I open the details page and see "In-app purchases" on the left side. It is inconvenient having to open every app page just to verify this, but at least it's a workaround. Is there some way to include that criteria into the search function? Additionally, when searching Android apps through a desktop browser (Chrome) instead of the Google Play app on the device, "in-app purchases" does not appear to be displayed, even in the details page of the app. The question: How to detect or filter out apps that are not completely free, on Google Play? |
60340 | Rooted phone wont boot | Okay so I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Express about a week ago using Cyanogenmod, and everything was working fine up until tonight. As I was in a middle of a text, m phone began to go black and when I would try to turn it back on again the buttons would light up but the phone wouldnt come back on. Since my battery was almost about to die anyways, I figured this was the problem and let it charge, which it did. However, when I went back to turn it on, it wouldnt boot up all the way. It would only go as far to show the words Samsung. Sometimes it will show the CyanogenMod symbol but it will only stay up for a few short seconds and then turn off. I tried rebooting it from recovery mode but as soon as I get it there, it turns off and tries to turn on itself and fails. Does anybody know whats going on with my phone and how to fix it? |
52252 | Disable repeating email sign in error notification | When there are problems with IMAP server that I'm using, email app makes a notification every few seconds or minutes (inbox check frequency is set to `every hour`): `Couldn't sign in` which leads to another message: `The username or password for foo@example.com is incorrect. Update them now?`. There is nothing wrong with my password, it's just temporary problem with server. How can I disable such notifications while keeping new mail notifications ? All I can see in options is a single `Email notifications` checkbox. |
