67753 | Is there any way to check the phone before buying a new device | My friend is buying xperia Z1. The actual price of the phone is around 40000 INR but he is getting it around 25000 INR. It has 1 year seller warranty with all accessories.He said the phone is imported. I dont understand why the price is so low. The software bug can be fixed. But I am concerned about the hardware issues. Any idea on how to check whether the chipsets were original. I planned to run a benchmark tool after he gets the phone. Also to check the service menu. Any other ideas to check? Also I have the doubt on benchmark tool. Will it read the hardware correctly or it just read the phone name and based on it, it will produce the specs from the database? **What i fear is the clone models. I heard about them but I didnt get any chance to see them. Is it difficult to separate clone from the original.** Thanks in advance. |

For that first i installed android sdk in my pc and connected my Device in USB debugging mode.

67759 | How to extract GPS data from my phone | I am a database programmer, and I want to learn about geospatial pattern matching by using the gps data from my phone. I would like to install an app that uploads a record about the location of my phone every few seconds - to somewhere - pardon my ignorance as I am not a mobile platform developer. Presumably I can point the uploading process to some sort of a listening process on an Amazon AWS machine, where I can install a database and then analyze the data. Is there any android application that I can install that would allow me to do this? By using an app, I can ask some friends to do the same so that I can then analyze data from multiple devices. Whats the best approach for this type of task? |
23604 | How to disable double tap for page-home on Samsung Galaxy S2? | After wondering and getting annoyed by my phone sometimes just jumping to the beginning of a web Page, I finally found out that it's a new Feature of the internet browser.

23607 | Android ICS spell checker does not know how to spell (English)? | English (United Kingdom) is set as the system language and regardless of whether I set the Android spell checker to use the system language or "English" it just doesn't know how to spell. Almost everything is underlined in red! Basically, the spelling dictionary (which should be built in to Android 4) appears to be empty? The same goes for French (I have not tried the other languages). How do I correct this? I have not seen these Android spelling dictionaries available for download anywhere. This does appear to be the same as the Android completion dictionary - which appears above the keyboard as you type; suggesting possible words. The only suggestions that show are names from my Contacts List! (I have later realised that "fox" in the example below would seem to be part of a name in my Contacts List!)  I mentioned in the comments below that I have installed the Hacker's keyboard. Together with this I have also installed the (Hacker's) English Completion Dictionary \- this works great, but only with the Hacker's keyboard and only in portrait mode (I don't really have enough room in landscape). Could this break Android's own spell checking dictionaries?! |

66400 | Galaxy S2 device memory filled | I have a Galaxy S2 (4.1.2), with 2 GB for app storage, and 16 GB of storage. I have no external SD card and no desire to buy one. The 2 GB app storage is now almost filled, and I can't find a way to move apps to the 16GB internal storage. My internal storage is almost empty, but I simply can't utilize it. The move app to SD option does not work because the internal storage is not recognized as SD. How can I deal with this? |

51448 | How to display touch points on screen | My Galaxy Note with stock ROM had an option via `Settings > Developer > Show touch points` (or something like that). Now, I updated to CyanogenMod, based on Android 4.3 but I can't find an option similar to that anywhere. My screen was damaged once. Since then, I needed to see the detected touch points on screen at all times, so I can see when the touchscreen gets stuck. Is there an option (or even an app) for that? I Googled around and looked at the Play Store, but only found multi-touch tester apps. I need something that shows the touch points at all times and in all apps. |
51447 | Connecting android tablet as testing device | I have a problem related to connectivity between my desktop (Windows) and tablet (Android 4.1). I bought a new device (Colorovo City Tab Vision 7) and now I want to use it for testing of my applications, because emulation of android is very slow on my computer, although I forced it to create snapshot every run. I have downloaded SDK with Google drivers and also some unofficial drivers I found on web. When I connect my device, it first appears 'Other device' (label is CTVision7) and it's marked as unknown. I tried to install drivers (Google) for it, but windows said that they aren't suitable for my device, as it's not able to find them in specified directory. After these attempts I tried unofficial drivers. Their installation worked and now my device appears as Android phone, what seems to be good. But when I run `adb devices` or launch application in eclipse, there's no avaible device. I have turned USB debugging on, so it should work. Am I missing some step to make my device avaible for debugging, or are my drivers wrong? Is there any way to get drivers which surely work? |
51446 | How can I make files available to a restricted profile? | For example I have an emulator and I want the restricted profile to have access to the ROM directory but it seems like the restricted profile has it's own directory structure separate from admin.

51445 | Possible to backup an android by just copying all the files? | Is it possible to backup an android by just copying all the files onto a PC? Is it really necessary to use a backup program? I just dragged and dropped all the files from my android internal storage, and they appear to be all there. The question is whether they can actually be used if I need to restore something. Seems like everywhere I look there are programs to archive everything into one backup file, and then save the backup file on a cloud or you copy it to your PC. Is this really necessary? Is it possible to get by just copying all the files? |

51442 | Cant flash any new firmware - Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet with CWM | I have problem with my Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet. One day it just stopped working and get stuck on Lenovo logo on start. I tried to use recovery mod (pushing VOL UP several times during start), it says that it cant mount /cache directory. I tried Wipe cache and Factory reset options, non worked, still same problem. So I googled and found, that I am not the only one with this problem. I found and read this http://forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318140 and then this http://forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745450 and flashed CWM on partition 6, so now I have CWM-based Recovery (v6.0.1.2). I downloaded CyanogenMod (CM10 Alpha 0.8.1), copied to my SD Card (formated as FAT32) and tried Install zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from external sdcard. But I get E: Cant mount /extern_sd/ and I am stuck. Tried to google this, but I found only alternative recovery mod (TWRP), but it cant be used for my device (at least I think so, since Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet is not listed in supported devices list). Can you give me any pointers what to do next? I am kinda lost now |

59312 | MS Access database integration | Do you know about any app that i can use to read and write MS Access based databases on android? The reason i want to do this is because in my company i was asked to create the necessary infrastructure so our technician can edit our repair database from a tablet that is to be bought, and Android tablets, not only offer a lot more options, because it's Android and we know it... but they are way cheaper than any windows 8 or windows RT tablet, and this is inclining my bosses to go for Android, but to go for Android, they must make sure it works, and for that, I must work on it and show them it works... What i need to do is not only use the form and create new entries for the table, i need to edit the tables, so my co-worker doesn't nag me every time he has to add a new component to the database. I can consider converting the existing database to an SQL database and actually that would be great if i could include it in the company's website. But i can only do that if it doesn't cause any data loss of the oldest entries on the table... Thank you for your time :) |

59310 | "Low on space" message, but nothing appears full | GalaxyS (SGH-I897), running Android 4.0.4 ## Short problem description I keep getting "Low on Space: Phone storage space is getting low" error in my notifications bar, but neither the SD card nor the phone appears to be close to full. ## More Details Please see below for screenshots showing the error, and also showing that both internal storage and SD card storage have plenty of space. Nonetheless, this error notification has been persistent for 2 weeks, and sometimes I even get an error when using gmail that says it can't sync because there isn't enough space. This similar thread recommends the tool DiskUsage, which I installed, but the numbers reported by it match the numbers in the screenshots below.

59316 | Huawei Ascend Y210d Firmware Damaged While Rooting | I am having a _Huawei Ascend Y210D_ , which got damaged when I updated the firmware. But updating is not possible, so for that I have rooted my phone with _kingo root_ and downloaded an root explorer. With the help of _root explorer_ I replaced one system folder called `bin`.

So in that I have tried some SD card update files in `.zip` format, but it shows an error `E: signature verification failed, installation aborted`. Can anyone help me please? |
61751 | How to play video on mobile browser's webpage WHILE ON the webpage? | On any browser I try, even with SkyFire 4.0 and Flash, when I play a video on a webpage, what happens is the video is actually played by another program(Moboplayer, SkyFire's client, HTML5 browser video player, etc.). What I want to do is play a video and watch it streaming while still being able to: 1.Move the webpage around, scroll, navigate, select other buttons, radio boxes, hyperlinks, etc. 2.Be able to have Flash run other streaming media, such as top-bar Flash ads, flash games in the manner described above, etc. 3.Access webpages more like they're intended and viewed on a non-mobile targeted site, but through a mobile device and browser. Here's a picture to illustrate what I mean crystal clearly:  What I want to know is what the problem is here: 1.Is it the way the browsers are programmed/configured? 2.Can't a browser app developed for Android/iOS/Windows Phone/Symbian/etc. (theoretically) be used identically with touch gesturization like if with a keyboard(such as pressing articulate little buttons, scrolling iFrames properly, running Flash runtime). In other words, is it possible for Flash to run like it does on Windows on Android? Why and why not? PS: The problem is that on my device I can't find any tricks to get this done right, and I'm very limited with Flash video playback in this manner(and Flash altogether). **Just to clarify, no, I'm not unaware of the YouTube app. What I want to do is all of the aforementioned tasks (video streaming, viewing Flash ads/animation, etc.) right from a single webpage which the .swf data lies upon(no "transferring" of data to other programs and leaving the webpage).** |

35145 | Where to find the Kernel Source code for my Samsung Epic 4g device? | I'm trying to recompile a module for my Android device (I'm pretty new to both kernel level stuff and android stuff) I have an Epic 4G CM9 with a Kernel 2.6.35.7-g502e35e, pinky-ghost@cyyanogenmod#1 I've found out that to create a module I need the source code for the Kernel of my device. Initially I went to kernel-epicmtd, but I discovered that this was the wrong place, since they are using kernel 3.x.x. I am now going through the cm-kernel, but I noticed that for kernel 2.6.35 there are 3 different branches. So my question is how do I go about finding the kernel source that I need? and if I pulled the config files from any phone with the same kernel version, would it work? |
35147 | How to get the camera's auto white balance to work on a Nexus 4 | I've been taking pictures with a Nexus 4 for a few days now, and noticed that the colors are off on many pictures. Finally today, I decided to do a Nexus 4 vs. iPhone comparison, with the same scenes, and it seems to me that: 1. The auto white balance on the Nexus 4 / Android 4.2 isn't always working; in particular, with incandescent lights, in Auto mode, at times whites are greenish. Forcing the incandescent light mode fixes this. 2. In all cases (incandescent or fluorescent, Auto mode or correct mode specified), the image lacks contrasts: whites are grayish and dark areas lack details. Just walking around with a Nexus 4 and an iPhone while pointing are things around makes this very clear. Is there a way to improve this, or should I just resign myself to the iPhone camera (lens, sensor, DSP, software?) being overall better than the of the Nexus 4? (And my apologies if this sounds a bit provocative, as I seriously hope this is not the case!) |
35143 | How to take a picture and uploading it with a comment to Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter? | I am coming from the iPhone, and there was using an app called Camera+, which worked well for my workflow. On Android, I am now looking for a way to: 1. On the go, _take pictures_ , and store them somewhere. (I don't care where they are stored, they could very well be in a private store specific to the app.) 2. Allow me to go through the picture I took, delete the one I don't like, and for the others, _enter a description_ , and upload them to a combination of Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter. I want to just enter the description _once_ , click on checkboxes for Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter to select where the picture will go. I could do this with the standard Camera/Gallery, with the Flickr and Facebook apps installed, but it requires way to many steps. I'm looking for something simple, that allows for a fast workflow, not for an editing workhouse. Is there any solution out there that would allow me to do this? |

32490 | How to get root back after OTA update | When I updated to Android 4.1.2 on my Galaxy Nexus, I lost root. Everything is still there, but the permissions on `system/bin/su` no longer include the `setuid` bit, which prevents `su` from working. I don't want to go through the whole re-rooting process if possible since I used root to re-lock the bootloader and unlocking it without root will wipe the entire phone, including `/storage/sdcard0`. As far as I can tell, the only thing I need to do to get root back is to fix the permissions of `su`. How should I do this? Of possible relevance: * I'm using the stock ROM. * The phone is the international GSM version. * I tried to get into recovery and got an android with a red exclamation mark. Is this due to the bootloader being locked or is it a different problem? * Since the update and losing root, a process called `system_service` has frequently started comsuming 100% of my CPU and slowing my phone to a crawl, forcing me to reboot. |

74725 | Save Applications to SD Card | I recently purchased an LG Optimus F6 Android phone. Apparently it only has just over 1GB of internal storage, and after having installed just a few apps during a lunch break, the phone was already out of memory within 24 hours. I purchased a 64GB SD card, inserted it, and formatted it. The `Storage` pane accessed through `Settings` shows the 64GB free memory as does the file browser on my laptop when I plug it in. I have managed to get the phone to save some pictures to this location, but when I try to install even a 1MB wallpaper from the Play Store, I get an `insufficient storage memory` error. I can't figure out how to make the phone utilize the SD memory card for apps... is it not possible? To make things more weird, I have used a memory cleaning app to delete junk files, but even after it says that it freed up almost 300MB, the phone still reports insufficient storage for my 1MB wallpaper and other 2MB app I need to install. I tried restarting it. |

65981 | Can you fully remove Google system apps from Android including the Play Store updates? | Believe it or not, but I want to remove a few Google Apps which I have no use for and want to free up space, resources and mobile data usage by not having them on my phone at all. These include: Google Currents Google Play Music Google Play Movies Google Play Newsstand Google Keyboard Google+ I have ‘uninstalled’ them via the Play Store, but they still appear in my ‘Installed’ items in ‘My apps’ in the Play Store and instead of ‘UPDATE' and ‘UNINSTALL’ for any other app in my ‘Installed’ list, they stubbornly remain and only have ‘OPEN’ AND ‘UPDATE’ options. Also going in the ‘All’ list in ‘My Apps’, all these apps are also different from other ones, where unlike other locally uninstalled apps that have their payment status (‘FREE’ or ‘PURCHASED’) and a ‘X’ at the top to remove it from your Google Account entirely, these Google Apps that I don’t want on my Android and want to be completely optional for my Android experience, only have an ‘UPDATE’ and no X up the top of their listing. I don’t mind them remaining on the Google Account if Google insists on this, but I just want listings to ‘update’ them in my Google Play updates list to be removed, given this is Google basically forcing me to reinstall them against my will. Is there a way to do this? I’m on stock 4.3 Gnex. |

8441 | Scrolling behaviour for apps (in general) | I have a HTC Desire and I've realised there appears to be, for most apps (in general) 3 types of scrolling. 1. Drag/pull with finger and the contents scrolls (slowly) depending on how much you've moved your finger 2. 'Flick' your finger across the screen and the content scrolls (relatively fast) and slows down towards the end 3. "Do something" and the contents scrolls insanely fast - usually goes to the end of the content... My question is what is what do I do to 'activate' #3? Reason is, every now and then I somehow activate #3 (often when I don't want it) which makes it very annoying. But sometimes I do want to scroll insanely fast right to the bottom/top of the list/page but end up just flicking multiple times (very annoying again). Would be nice to be able to control/choose which scroll type I need. |

10339 | wifi problem with android | Hey all this might not be some programming problem rather a usability problem. I am new to android world. I have bought an android mobile [Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510] couple of days ago. I am trying to connect it to internet with wi-fi connection. But the problem is that normally when i connect my laptop to that router i need to repair the connection to get proper ip address like 192.168.1.2 etc. other wise i got 10.38.132.90 or rather something like this. And in that case i can't access internet. That's why i normally repair the connection on pc. I am also using this router's wi fi with nokia E5 mobile and it gets proper ip address after 2 or 3 attemts (enabling and disabling wlan scanning) But with android the ip address remains the invalid one i mean 10.38.132.90; not the correct one like 192.168.1.2 etc. So how can i repair or set static ip address with this phone. Please help. Thanks in Advance |

56697 | Gmail keeps loading forever when open email | I have a LG Optimus L3 II (Jelly Bean) and the latest version of Gmail, although this problem happened also with the stock version. Whenever I receive a new email, I have to open it twice, since the first time it keeps loading the email content forever.  Then, after return to the email list and open again, the email instantly opens. When I delete all the data and re-login, it works fine for a few days, and then this bug start again. Has anyone faced the same problem? |
52937 | What are the signs your (stolen) phone has been wiped/hard reset? | I had my 2-week-old HTC One stolen. Unfortunately, I was not aware of the Android Device Manager or the ability to turn on remote wipe functionality (nor I had any remote tracking/wiping apps installed). My phone had a lot of private stuff on it. I really dread this stuff being in someone else's hands. Since the theft to restrict access to my private information, I logged out all other Google sessions, changed Google account password, switched 2-step verification to another device, revoked access permissions to apps on my stolen phone and the phone. However, the best case scenario for protecting my information would be to wipe the phone. I would like to know the following: 1. Having changed Google account password and done all of the above, will I still be able to push apps to the phone through Google Play (e.g., Plan B or Android Lost)? 2. Having effectively stopped my phone from syncing with Google (change passwords etc), if it is switched on with data connection will it still show up on Android Device Manager? 3. Is there a way - taking into consideration all the stuff I have done to prevent the thief from logging into my apps/account - to find out if the phone has been wiped? e.g., Android Device Manager will stop showing it as registered? |
56695 | Tab bar in Chrome browser | I have a Galaxy S4. I use Chrome browser. Anytime I play with an Android tablet, Chrome has a tab bar like on a desktop OS. I want to enable this on my phone, but I can't find an option to enable it. I tried looking into the prefences file but didn't see anything pertaining to this. Is there a way to enable this? I'm rooted, and don't mind messing around so I don't mind if there's a "hackish" way to do this. It seems like Chrome is a universal app, so I don't see why it acts different on a phone versus a tablet. Or at least provide an otion for it. |

I just tried the hard reset thing where you hold the power button until the notification light blinks and then let go and quickly hold volume down. I did this 5 times, still no luck. I really need help with this. I just followed the boot-loop tag-wiki and none of it worked. I'm not able to get into safe mode or my bootloader. It just keeps booting no matter what button combo I do. Except, I can get into download mode, but I don't know how to fix it with that. I have the Canadian LG G2 D803. How can I fix this?

24955 | Does Android suffer from the same "over a period of time" performance degradation that OSes like Windows do? | To clarify, yes, I run a custom ROM on my phone. I thought to myself "I'm going to flash this and keep it stable because I need to depend on it for work". Almost a full month later, I'm finding that the interface is lagging, apps don't spring open with the same swiftness that they used to, and in general, I'm finding I need to reboot more often. Nothing is critically wrong, logcats don't seem to show any malfunctioning, it's just.....sluggish. Flashing the ROM over again is starting to feel like Windows; I reinstall fairly often to keep it running smooth, but if it's something I'm doing wrong, I'm entirely open to suggestions. As I grow older and less obsessed with flashing anything I see on XDA, I want to keep something stable and dependable. |

I have Odin 1.3 which I used to install Froyo, but that was following a detailed step by step list of instructions! It says in the thread I need the latest stock firmware before trying to install Tegrak, but it doesn't state what that is or where to get it. It also doesn't really go into detail beyond saying "use Odin to install it". Additionally, how do I go about making sure the apps I have bought from the market are saved so I don't have to buy them again? I'm a web developer, so it's not as if the tech stuff is alien to me, but the Android specific stuff is! |
75453 | Can I create a stock recovery from Nandroid backup or from OTA? How? | I am looking for a stock recovery for my phone (HTC One M7, rooted, s-on,CID: HTC__102, Software number: 4.19.401.11). But I cannot find it. The reason I want this recovery is that I want to experiment if it is possible to keep my phone rooted but going back to Stock recovery so that I can get OTA updates. I have a nandroid back up of my stock ROM (I created it in TWRP, so it is after flashing the TWRP recovery), and also I have downloaded an OTA for my phone from forums. Is it possible I can get an stock recovery image from OTA zip file or Nandroid backup? Thanks. |

19737 | Open Source "My QR code" app to quickly share my contact details? | Especially in Japan/Korea, there are many proprietary apps to quickly share your name+email+phone. Example here. They all work the same way: * At first use, enter your name, email, phone: It generates "your" QR code. * Whenever you meet someone and want to keep in touch: * Launch the app, it instantly shows your QR code * The other person scans it, and can add you as a contact without typing anything. Key features: * Extremely fast, should take less time than a web page load. * Fit to screen size for easier scanning, maybe even make the screen brighter temporarily. * Options to show a different QR code for carriers that use a special format. **QUESTION: Is there an Open Source app that does this?** _If not, I might create one, but I prefer to ask first._ _Almost nobody usesBump here in Japan, making it pointless._ |

75187 | What factors constrain the highest possible Android version for an Android device? | I've read on the Sony's website that the increasing amount of RAM required for newer versions of Android is the limiting factor for upgrading the operating system of Android devices: > ... if a lower amount of free RAM is available to applications after a new > release of the operating system (due to increased capabilities in the > system), phone speed will eventually be impacted (this is the main reason > that a certain device cannot be indefinitely upgraded to newer releases of > Android™). But in the newest release of Android (KitKat) it is asserted that the new version needs lower amounts of RAM. So, my question is what are the limiting factors that eventually constrain your device's OS from upgrading to newer versions of Android? I mean, what (hardware) factors should I consider when buying an Android device to increase the chances of getting the newest OS updates for a longer time? |

For customization I have found Themer, which unfortunately is not compatibile with the tablet. Then I came across Desktop VisualizeR this one looks promising, but customizing manually 100 tablets will be ages of manual work. At the end I will have lets say 20 APKs with educational games. I would like to change the home screen so every one has different background and customized big icons, preferably 4x bigger than original size. The 'icons' should have custom descriptions. At the end I would like to fully customize one tablet and have some kind of solution to easily port all settings and customizations to rest 99 tablets. I would kindly request specific answer to my problem, not links to general tutorials. Please help me out! The kids will grately appreciate your help. |

There is one thing that's been really irking me since I did the upgrade: DoubleTwist no longer successfully syncs songs from iTunes onto my Galaxy. On my PC, I set up the playlists I want to sync, and tell it to go, and it only syncs about 1/3 of the songs, telling me that the others failed with unspecified errors, and only 1 of the 5 playlists I selected appears to be able to play. I've done factory resets of my phone data twice now, and I also tried to format the internal SD card as well (Settings --> SD Card --> Internal SD --> Format SD card). Hasn't helped. I'd switch to WinAmp, but that's having it's own problems (it's not saving when I change the sync options and wants to put all of my library on the phone). Anyone seen this and/or know how I can fix it. Even a lower level log file so I can get more information rather than some unspecified error would be good. Thanks |

How can I change this very specific setting? There doesn't appear to be any setting to change from within Google Voice Actions, and in Settings>Apps>Messaging there are no defaults associated with the app at all to reset. I have no text messaging plan with my carrier--I use Google Voice via the Messaging + Google Voice app--so I now can't send SMS directly via Voice Actions. (Note: Voice Actions actually has two distinct apps associated with SMS. One is for selecting the app with which you can edit a message partially composed in Voice Actions. I have that one set up correctly. The other default app setting for SMS in Voice Actions is which app will auto-send a message composed entirely with Voice Actions, and this is the one that I have set incorrectly.)

I have tried handcent sms and have the same issues with it 1) Is there a fix for slow/freezing text messaging other than factory reset? 2) Is there an app that deletes text messages over 2 weeks old? 3) Is there a better text messaging app than the onboard android messaging application for android 2.1 with better reliability, ease of use, and speed? |
8142 | A problem with finding apps in the market on the Phone | I want to install the app Where. But when I did the same search in the Android Market app on my phone, I couldn't find this app. Since my phone does not have service, I cannot install this app through the Android Market website. Does anybody know why this app does not show up on the phone? How can I install this app in this case? I couldn't find its apk file either. Thank you. |
34952 | Improve Nexus 4 Vibration Intensity | This is basically the same question as posed here: Increase vibrate strength I thought there might be a different answer for the Nexus 4, however, seeing as how it's a different manufacturer and the OS has changed slightly. I came from using a Nexus S which had a really good vibrate. With the Nexus 4, however, even with nothing else in my pocket sometimes I can't feel it. I'm used to being able to get a slight buzz or something if I set my phone down on my desk but with the Nexus 4, the best I can hope for is a slight buzz if it's on a hard surface. Touching papers or something else? Better hope you were looking at the phone, otherwise you're going to miss incoming calls. For other Nexus 4 owners, is this a noticeable issue with your phone? Maybe mine is slightly defective. If not, is there any way to boost the intensity or strength of the vibration through settings? I've seen that the Galaxy phones have a vibration setting that can be adjusted but I can't seem to find something similar on the Nexus 4. |
