53325 | How do I transfer contacts from a Nokia 3110 to an Android using a Mac? | I have about 700 contacts on a Nokia 3110 handset that I want to transfer to my Android phone. Transferring contacts via my SIM card is a slow process as I can only 200 do at a time. Moreover, I cannot be sure of which contacts have already been transferred. Is there a faster way this can be achieved with a Mac? |
36928 | Quick NOTETAKING with Android | I often resort to pen and paper for quick notes like telephone-numbers, because I feel using my phone will take to long. Are there any apps for android that will let me be just as quick (freehand), without beeing "just" a drawing application? Need to somehow sync into cloud or web. Ideally it should be possible to quickly open the mick and attach the input (Like evernote) |

54673 | Is there no option to turn off cell broadcasting messages in HTC Desire 500? | I got the recently launched HTC Desire 500 (Android 4.1.2, Sense 5). Since then I am continuously getting cell broadcasting messages (4 every 2 minutes). And shockingly, there is no option to turn off the cell broadcast neither in message settings nor in Call settings. When I compared my HTC Desire X with Desire 500, I saw the option is there in Desire X but not in Desire 500. The call center people are helpless. The Customer care center people are saying its a defect in the phone's software, so we cant repair it. So by the time the software update comes, does anyone here has any solution. It is really irritating and its sad that HTC doesn't have the solution to such a trivial issue which is actually a headache. |

I have "sms backup and restore" app on phone, but it hasn't backed up any recent messages.

68696 | How to fix the recovery mode error? | I am trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Ch@t GT-B5330 (4.1.2) following this guide. I have reached the point when I am intended to use the recovery mode menu (that is reached by holding volume-up when turning the phone on) but here am I stuck: whatever I choose gives me the error icon  I am still able to boot the phone the normal way (though it has became a little bit slower than it was before flashing and starts Firefox on itself occasionally). How do I finish the rooting process? |
68690 | Multicast dns registers hostname based on IP address | I would like to use avahi/zeroconf to do ssh logins to devices which are connected to the local network by wifi. Since I do not have control over the wifi routers I cannot assign fixed IP-addresses to the devices. Therefor I set up a multicast dns server (on my android phone) which registers the device. Now I see the device using an avahi-browser on my ubuntu notebook. However the hostname is assigned based on the IP-address, which I cannot know in advance. `avahi-discover` displays: Service Type: _udisks-ssh._tcp Service Name: samsungtablet Domain Name: local Interface: wlan0 IPv4 Address: 10-0-0-101.local/10.0.0.101:22 TXT Data: empty I would like to be able to do `ssh user@samsungtablet.local` or something like this in order to log in. It works now with `ssh user@10-0-0-101.local` but I cannot know this hostname in advance. In contrast my Ubuntu notebook appears as Service Type: _udisks-ssh._tcp Service Name: einstein Domain Name: local Interface: wlan0 IPv4 Address: einstein.local/10.0.0.106:22 TXT Data: empty Here `ssh user@einstein.local` will work. Note that the hostname on the samsungtablet is set to `samsungtablet` using `net.hostname`. The multicast dns server I set up on the tablet contained in "servers ultimate" and the name there is set to `samsungtablet` as well. Note that I am aware that `SSHelper` supports multicast dns as well, however I would prefere a solution where I can choose to keep my ssh-server. |

44347 | Simple way to toggle between 2G and 3G connection | ## TL;DR Usually, I have my device locked to "2G only" for multiple reasons: * saving battery-life * no need for "high-speed" to simply be informed about new mail or doing the little contacts/calendar syncs (not much changes, either) But from time to time, I could use 3G: * some area that has bad 2G coverage (data-wise) * the occasional "internet use" e.g. with a navigation app, looking up "a little more" on the web, or installing something from google-play-store For those occasions, I find it impractical to navigate to the settings page and change that manually -- even when done via some "shortcut" placed on a homescreen. Preferably, I want to be able to automate this via tasker, to e.g. automatically switch when entering/leaving the "bad coverage area" or when one of those apps is in foreground (both conditions are covered by tasker, just the "action" is missing). I checked thoroughly on our site here, on the google-play-store, and even did an extensive Google search -- but all that turned up was either a shortcut or a kernel patch for specific ROMs, both no- gos for me. Hence my... ## Question: Is there any easy way to switch between 2G/3G mode? As said, shortcuts to the settings page do not count (so Can anyone reccomend a 2g / 3g switching widget? is no option). Wanted criteria include: * not requiring more than one tap (preferably no tap to trigger the action, see below) * a big plus (and favorite wish): ability to be triggered via tasker * not depending on specific ROMs (should work with stock-rom) * preferably not involving root \-- but options requiring root would still be fine with me * command-line hacks are fine with me as well :) |

59402 | Profile Question on Android Tablet | My background: I'm 30, my mom is 68 and terrified of technology. I gave her her first computer 2 years ago, and she's visibly terrified to use it, so I bought her a tablet for this Christmas. Personally, I hate tablets, but I bought her a Lenovo 10" tablet running Android Jellybean 4.2.2. Now, I'm an iPhone guy, so I have never played with Android in the least. I am trying to install all the programs she will use so it's ready to go... one situation is I know she and my aunt will both want to use it to access facebook. (As horrible as this sounds,) they don't know how to change accounts; to solve this, I would like to create two profiles on the tablet. The problem is, I don't have the "users" option in settings to let me create multiple user profiles. Does anyone know how to get around this (without Linux emu hacks)? Thanks! |
59401 | SwiftKey gets removed as input method after every update | Every time SwiftKey gets updated it is removed from the list of input methods. I don't remember having this problem before Android 4.4, but in the last few days SwiftKey had some updates and it just gets annoying.

59400 | Problems using Whatsapp on HTC One V | I'm facing a problem using Whatsapp. Many times if I received 2-3 pics or a large conversation on Whatsapp, the phone's title bar (where it shows date, battery status & network status) disappears automatically. Also when I open Whatsapp it opens and disappears so in that case I have to select any pic/note & select option share on Whatsapp. Then Whatsapp opens after forwarding that pic/note. I have to use the option of clear conversation and then everything becomes normal. This is really a very irritating procedure. I don't know why this happens. Many friends of mine who use other company mobiles with the same configuration as my HTC One V don't have this type of problem. Please suggest what the problem is. |
34381 | How can I get ADB to properly recognize an Alcatel One Touch 995 device on Windows/Ubuntu? | # The problem I am trying to deploy a custom application to an Alcatel One Touch 995 running Android 2.3.6. I using Eclipse to compile the source code and push it onto the phone. The Android Device Chooser within Eclipse starts up and lists a device however it does not recognize the maker or model. The device shows up as **question marks** for the serial number (see screenshot).  I am able to install the application to a Samsung device. I tried the procedure on Windows 7 running Eclipse 3.7.2 and on Ubuntu 12.04. running Eclipse 4.2. The Android Development Kit is up-to-date on both systems. I enabled "Unknown sources" and "USB debugging" in the application settings. * * * # The USB driver attempt I found a USB driver from Alcatel. The archive contains driver for different Windows versions. When I try to update the "Android USB Device" in the Windows device manager I am informed that the driver version is up-to-date. Here is a screenshot of the "ALCATEL Dream Composite ADB Interface" properties.  It seems as if this attempt was not helpful. I leave it anyways in case someone stumbles into the same situation. * * * # The solutions **Windows:** Strange! I installed almost all available API Versions in the Android SDK Manager and now also selected the images for ARM, Intel and MIPS. The result is that the device is recognized on Windows.  I tried hard to **undo** the driver installation on Windows. To me, the most obvious is removing the "Google USB Driver". So I did and restarted Eclipse and the computer but still Windows remembers the maker and model. I further tried to remove other items **without success**. I will leave my experiments in this question for others to **figure out** the key installation module needed on Windows to recognize the device. I guess its "Google USB Driver" and the `.inf` file has been copy to the Windows system folder in the background. **Ubuntu:** Regarding Ubuntu, I like to grant the answer Flow (please put your comment as an answer). I configured a device rule as it has been explained by vsm and others. There is also an official guide entitled: Setting up a Device for Development. * * * # Speculations It could be that when I tried to update the Windows driver with the USB driver from Alcatel that it actually updated my system without telling me. All I received was the message "Driver version is up-to-date". I missed to check the version before I started. If anyone can verify this theory on a "clean" system I happy to hearing from you. |

34652 | Reducing bandwidth while using Facebook chat | I live in place where the data charges are extremely high (~0,70€ per MB in Ethiopia, for example.) If I wish to chat on Facebook, data charges rack up quickly due to the standard Facebook app's bandwidth use: always updating the stream, downloading all of the images and profile pictures, etc. Is there a way to restrict or minimize bandwidth utilization while using Facebook chat, basically only transmitting the text data? 3rd-party apps would be fine as well. PS: I already tried to download imo.im from the Google Play market - but this one is not available in Ethiopia. |
55182 | Cannot mount SD card, with error "SD card safe to remove" | I have an HTC Desire S, which my cousin bought for me from China. Android version: 4.0.4; HTC Sense version: 3.6; Software number: 1.0.0.S510e The MicroSD card no longer works. Whenever I reinsert it, I get the message, after a few seconds, "SD card safe to remove". I've tried reformatting it and have run fsck on it. I think the card used to mount read-only before, as it used to unmount whenever I took a picture; this started happening after the most recent update. I kept trying to take pictures and reinserting the card would fix it but it seems now it won't mount. How can I fix the MicroSD card so it'll mount? |

It appears to work just as well as my stock battery. I don't know it's actual longevity but it works OK so far. Since I ordered from an official website, hopefully it's not a fake one... I still want to fix the stock battery though, can anyone help me? |

I can tell that my LCD is working because when I try plugging the charging cable in, I see the battery icon displayed on the screen. However, once I try to turn it on, it doesn't start up, even with the charging cable plugged in. Is there a battery issue or is it something wrong with my firmware? Note that this is different from Google Glass Stuck at the “Glass” screen, as that question manages to make it to the Glass splash screen, but in my question, it does not even make it there. |

67840 | Offline Google Maps | Sorry, I'm kinda lost here. I use Google Maps on PC and have some favority places added there. In my phone I wanna use offline map. In my old phone I used RMaps with whole city map downloaded with Mobile Atlas Creator, and manually added favorities and POIs on it. Now I bought a new phone, and found out that RMaps is no longer available. I'd like to add favorities/POIs into Google Maps, and make sure they will be available, with whole city map, when phone is offline. But I don't wanna be somewhere and open Adroid Google Maps and find out some tile for that area wasn't downloaded. The best solution I see is download whole map from Google Maps or OSM and store the map on phone, and use some app that's able to open this offline map file and at the sae time sync favorities/POIs with Google Maps. I tried OSMAND, but when I create a POI on it it fails due to some authentication error. It's not trying to connect to Google, because other apps are able to sync with Google Apps. But there's no setting to add login data or create new account. Could somebody suggest an app able to properly handle offline maps and sync favorities with Google Maps? |

23115 | How to browse securely, anonymously and without blocks on Android? | So here's your Average Joe at a coffee store, using the open Wifi on his shiny new Android phone. Obviously there are the same issues with using a laptop or any other device on an open network, including having the Hotspot owner as well as other users snooping on poor Joe's web traffic. What sorts of solutions exist for dear Joe? Joe finishes his coffee and heads to work, and his work Wifi is set up with a proxy (with username and password authentication) to 'protect' (as well as monitor) their workers from such useful sites as Superuser when Joe would really like to utilize such sites. Of course, Joe is obedient and uses Proxydroid which does allow his browser access to his works' white listed sites, though he can only access sites using http connections, a further let down as Joe really does like to check his email and do some banking on his phone. Joe has tried solutions like Orbot, by Tor, though that doesn't seem to work. **How can Joe get past these issues?** Obviously this is phrased in a rather happy-go-lucky manner, though certainly the first point is a serious issue for many Android users. All comments are taken gratefully. |

23110 | Is there a reason why I need to remove my phone's battery after it crashes before I can turn it back on? | I have a Galaxy Nexus running on 4.0.1. I've noticed that when it crashes it usually requires a battery pull to get it working again. I was wondering if the pulling of the battery to get the phone to work again is a "feature" of Android. The phone will otherwise stay off after a crash indefinitely until you pull the battery out and put it back in. Is there a specific reason why it cannot be turned on again without first removing the battery? Is there some benefit to this? |

61444 | Asus ME302KL tablet halts on loading | I have a problem with my Asus MeMO Pad ME302KL It halts on loading screen - Asus logo and loading spinner and loads forever, until the battery goes off completely. Holding the power button for 10 seconds reboots it. Holding the reset button (the one in the hole) for 10 seconds just reboots it. Tried to enter service menus: 1. Holding the power button and volume down - after 10 seconds the tablet shuts down, after 5 more seconds shows system information. Asus logo and some text on the left. Does not react to any actions, except for holding the power button for 10 seconds and goes to reboot. 2. Holding the power button and volume up - after 10 seconds the tablet shuts down, after 5 more seconds shows "service menu". First for half a second there appears a standing android with spinning blue thing in front of him, and after half a second there appears a lying android with open bonnet and a red exclamation mark and nothing else on the screen. Does not react to any actions, except for holding the power button for 10 seconds and goes to reboot. **UPD:** Tried to hold the reset button while on the "service screens" and it just goes to reboot after 10 seconds. Also have removed the SIM and SD cards. **UPD2:** Before the lethal shut down I've installed a couple of games, ~5 I guess. I'm not sure, if it installed any updates, at least it did not ask m e about it. **UPD3:** With use of fastboot re-installed this system https://mega.co.nz/#!QFEFFRCR!XV2tziLIueLET2aBXWBaXUp5qY5vw7vS740yYxgKO7M and absolutely nothing has changed :( |
61447 | Laggy dialer app | I have an Xperia P with latest update (Build No. 6.2.A.1.100, Android 4.1.2). It's phone app becomes horribly slow as the size of call log increases. Also, whenever there's an incoming call, it usually takes around 4 to 5 secs to respond after the call is accepted. There is a great time lag during dialing too. I tried clearing app data from settings but of no use! The problem goes away when I clear the call log. Also, the scroll lag disappears while operating in landscape mode. Does anyone know of any workaround for this? Currently, I'm using Ex-Dialer (the best dialer app I've ever seen from performance perspective) as a replacement for stock dialer (I'm not rooted and stock dialer is still installed in my phone) but I really don't want to use it or any third party app. One of the reason is that the Ex-Dialer contact list doesn't show Facebook thumbnail images for contacts. Please help! |
61441 | Can't save contacts in Sony Xperia | I have a _Sony Xperia_ with Android OS 4.0.4. Until recently it worked fine but now my SIM contacts are all gone. I can't save in sim either. While saving in contacts I _used_ to get option whether to save on SIM or on phone – but now I don't get the SIM access: this options simply no longer shows up. I tried it with another SIM, but the problem persists. |
61443 | Is there a real solution for "can't connect to camera" issue on 4.3? | I upgraded my Galaxy Notes 2 from CyanogenMod 10.1 to 10.2 (= android 4.3). Unfortunately the camera has continous problems - I end up twice a week or so with a `cannot connect to camera` popup when trying to shoot a picture. Many people seem to have this issue. A similar question some time ago did not get any answers. I even found a somewhow-working-workaround in the form of a permission-setting app (I cannot find the source anymore but will look around if someone is interested). All this make the camera app more or less unusable. * does anyone know about a working solution? * would there be a way to install the previous version (which worked without any problems), without downgrading to 4.2.x, obviously. |
24664 | How do I access .img files with yaffs2? | I've tried mounting them in Ubuntu, no luck, `mount` does not recognize the yaffs2 file system. I've tried `yaffs2utils` and `./unyaffs2` but it doesn't actually unpack the img files, I've posted an issue about this on the Google Code page here. The img files were created by CWM Recovery as a backup, and I'm trying to dig into the file system to find old contacts, and if I could just get the .db files I think I got it from there (I'll just run `sqlite3` and peek into the db and print the contacts on paper or something). Any help appreciated! |
24662 | How to fix the infamous Nook Color / Nook Tablet charging USB cable for good? | The Barnes&Noble Nook Color / Nook Tablet have a proprietary micro USB charging port which is longer than normal and allows power charging with 2Amps. The charging/data cable from BN is infamous to break after some time, most probably the cable's primary plastic coating is not very flexible and starts to split at the point where it enters the micro usb connector and leads to a visible secondary shielding. If nothing is done the situation worsens and in the end the internal power cables may short. I got my used B&N Nook Color with a beginning coating split and cannot get a replacement from B&N because I live outside the US and have no invoice. Seems like this problem is a common one, there are already discussions about a class action lawsuit. What can I do besides looking for a replacement? |

3849 | Wi-Fi Video Conferencing | My daughter will be in Japan soon, studying abroad. And she just got a Macbook Air. Meanwhile, I have Android 2.2 and a Samsung Galaxy Tab. I don't mind paying for an app, but am not too keen on monthly service bills. I want to be able to have video conferencing with her on Wi-Fi only. I imagine SIP would be the way to go. So what is the best app out there for Android right now for doing Wi-Fi video conferencing between a Mac and a Samsung Galaxy Tab, and which lets me do unlimited calling, not charged by the minute? I don't mind paying even up to $50 for the app on each system, just to not have to pay the monthly fees. I looked at the Tango app, but it said it only installed on iPhone and Android. I didn't see a Mac or PC version for it. |

I'm thinking my friends/family could go to a particular website and see my progress on a map in real time. I am aware of apps like endomondo, runkeeper, etc. but they only record GPS data. |

38925 | Does the Kindle Fire original have a camera? | It may be too late to ask for such a thing... I checked my Kindle Fire 1st generation model and found a camera on the top left of the device. At least, it just looks like the camera on any phone or camera enabled device. The listing of features on original Kindle Fire shows that there is no camera. Is this something any others have experienced? Or is it something different from a camera? I have not tried to download any app to use camera on the device. Any interesting info would be helpful. |
22798 | Configure my Droid 4 to AutoConnect via Bluetooth to my PC? | I have paired my Droid 4 with my Windows 7 Professional x64 PC. However, whenever I turn Bluetooth on, on my phone, it fails to auto-connect to the PC. It says the following when I look at the Bluetooth Settings: > Paired but not Connected I have to click on the pairing just to get it to connect. Is there any way to get my phone to auto-connect once it's in range of my PC, or to put the pairing on the desktop so it's a widget that is easy to click to get it to connect? I've googled around but most of the material I've found is for auto-connecting to car stereos. |
75928 | ghost overlay when filming video with stock camera | When playing back a video taken with the stock camera app of Ganbarou 4.4 (built on CM) on a galaxy tab 10.1 (v1), it somehow shows the scene which should not have been filmed just below the video frame as a ghost image over the top third of the video. This is not the case with other camera apps, e.g. not with "a better camera". I cannot find this app in Google play, so i cannot write to the developers there. Has anyone faced the same issue? Any tips on what to do other than change app? |

75922 | Can Llama events call other events? | I find that I have a number of different "trigger situations", or sets of conditions that trigger an event. So I have an event for each one. But I also find that many of these events have basically the same actions, so **I'm looking for a way to separate conditions from actions.** 1) I have an idea to set up trigger events that only have one action each:, which is to set a Llama variable to a specific value. And then I'll set up action events that each have one of those values as their only condition, and put all the actual actions in there. 2) There are also the OR/AND conditions, where I could build something like: OR ( AND ( actual_condition_1 , actual_condition_2 ) , AND ( actual_condition_3 , actual_condition_4 ) ) ... but that gets ugly fast, and hard to maintain. **Is there a more elegant method that I've missed?** |
75923 | Poor NFC recognition after replacing Nexus 4 back cover | After replacing the back cover on my Nexus 4, the ability to read NFC tags has decreased significantly. I replaced the back cover of my Nexus 4 with an original(!) replacement because the glass had broken. Yes, the new back cover has NFC and I've confirmed that by scanning the tags I used even before the cover replacement. It does work, because the tags can be scanned, but it takes a lot of tries and often I have to give up. I test NFC capability by holding a known valid NFC tag at the center of the phone's back, and if that doesn't trigger then I very slowly slide the tag around the back, and repeatedly remove/reapply the tag. All my tags are the "sticker" type, and they're placed on a wooden surface (not metal), so it's not a matter of material or thickness. I don't think I did the cover replacement badly, because it does work occasionally. Is it possible that the replacement is a poorer quality than the first? **What can cause this problem, and how can I determine & fix it?** |

I am running ICS 4.0. |
35525 | Hide contacts with only email address | When clicking on Phone -> Logs, I have hundreds of contacts presumably from Gmail.

31863 | import contacts from sim to phone only | I have to set up an android phone (Orange Boston, Android 2.1-update1) for a colleague. I added two accounts, one gmail and one exchange, both only used for mail & calendar. Now my colleague has several contacts on the sim card that he wants to import onto the phone, and the phone only. But when I click "Import from SIM" in the contacts app I have to choose an account (gmail or roadsync (exchange app)). I do not want them to sync to anything, just be on the phone. I found several guides that showed that there should be a "phone only, unsynched" option, but I don't have that. What can I do to import the contacts phone only? |

31860 | Upgrading Kernel | I am somehow confused about the kernel and how it plays out. I have a couple of questions: 1. Let's assume my device kernel reports its kernel as 3.0.8 (using uname -r).

If I get the latest linux kernel code (or any version above my current one) from its website and build it with my desired config, can I just replace my kernel only? If so, how? |
73371 | Auto-sync killing battery all of a sudden on S3? | I have had my S3 for a good long while, ever since they were new with Verizon. Almost immediately, I bought an extended battery and all was good. In the last week or so, the battery has begun discharging rapidly. 50% in a couple of hours. I had extra batteries, so I switched out thinking I had a bad one. Same deal. Looking around, I read that killing the cache should fix it. Nope. Then someone suggested turning off auto-sync. That did it. Battery drain want back to normal. Why? Why all of a sudden? Then, the Gmail app doesn’t want to manually sync… Annoying. I was hoping to avoid a factory reset, but would that be my next course of action? I’m wondering if the Gmail app is bad. Definitely going to dump that and re-install. Any thoughts? |

73374 | Moto X rooting - ROM doesn't boot, but have Safestrap | I'm in a curious position. I don't have a working ROM on my Moto X, but I can boot into Safestrap, and from there fastboot. If I could get a ROM onto the device I could flash it with Safestrap, but I can't find a way of doing that. The 'adb sideload' feature of Safestrap/TWRP runs, but the only safestrap-able ROM I have is 4.4.2, and my device lacks the kernel. I tried sideloading the stock 4.2.2, but that simply fails without installing, once loaded on the device. Fastboot will recognize the device, but trying to flash anything, or do 'fastboot boot', gives 'permission denied' or 'command restricted'. I can execute commands on the device from Safestrap, so in theory I have a working if crippled Linux OS running. I just can't seem to get files on it. Any help? |
31869 | Is it possible to disable Google Voice Search headset control in 4.1 Jelly Bean? | I flashed my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 with the RemICS-JB 3.0 ROM, and now long- press on my headset is hard-coded to start Google Voice Search, which doesn't interest me. I'd much rather have long-press be available to other apps (I used it as "rewind" in my podcast player). Is it possible to disable this hard-coded headset control, or disable Voice Search entirely? There isn't a separate app for it, and I can't seem to disable the Google Search app. |

52534 | Restrictions of Play Store on custom ROMs | Please could someone correct my understanding? I read that once a phone has a custom ROM loaded, the play store can not be used on it again. However after more reading I'm not sure if this is the case? I'm sure the answer is complicated so to simplify it, all I want to do is convert an old phone (HTC wildfire) into a dedicated device for my toddler that will just be used for offline games. I don't need to remove features as he will be supervised, but I don't mind if the barest of ROMs is loaded as long as I can load games from the play store: I just want to speed the phone up, as at the moment it is awfully slow. (I have already tried restoring to factory settings and installing updates.) Help would be appreciated! |
55237 | Google Maps does not support "geo:" intents, any alternative that does? | In Android Firefox (or HTML viewer), when you click on such a Geo URI link: <a href="geo:37.786971,-122.399677;u=35">Wikimedia Headquarters</a> ... you are asked what Map app to use. * Select Google Earth and it correctly zooms to the right place * Select Google Maps (or Maverick) and it only opens the app, not taking you to the right place :-( My goal is to walk to the said place (so the map app should show both the said place, and my current location/direction using GPS/compass). Unfortunately, Google Earth is not made for this kind of use. It does not "pin" the said place, so you can't be sure where it was exactly. Also, it does not show my own direction. Any app that does it? * When opened from a Geo Intent, pins said place. * Also shows my own location and direction. * Bonus for offline maps. |
51758 | Android SDK: Using the emulator to browse local websites | I'd love to be able to develop mobile websites on my **windows 7 pc** be able to see them instantly in mobile chrome/opera inside the android emulator.

4549 | How can I check which applications have been granted root access? | I have an SGS i9000 with Android 2.1 and I installed a lot of applications before I fully understood what "root" was. Now I naturally want to review which applications I gave root access. How can I do this? |
4540 | Questions About Android Privacy | The permissions warning in the Android Market is very vague. As well, I can't see the app permissions in a collective area of all the apps I have previously installed. So, I have no clue whether an app is accessing my contacts, my email address, my name, phone number, camera, microphone, image gallery, and other private information. Is there a way, or an app I can install, which will indicate some risks to me about my apps and my privacy? |
4543 | Why does the screen come on when my phone is plugged in but idle? | Sometimes when my Nexus One is plugged in with the screen switched off, the screen turns itself on (showing the lock screen) seemingly randomly, and I have the "Stay awake" Development option turned on, so it stays switched on until I manually switch it off again. I suspect that some app is inappropriately obtaining an ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP WakeLock. Is there a way to get a log of WakeLock activity or some other way of debugging this? |
