Samsung Galaxy s3 can't edit contacts much
When I click on the 'edit' icon for a contact, the only options I get are to change their name, phone number and email address. The default profile picture disappears so I can't change their picture. Can't add additional information. Can't favourite them. I know you can go to favourites, or image gallery (and pick an image), and then pick a contact to allocate (as a favourite or the image), but my contact list turns up empty when I try this route. Even though I have contacts. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

View local website on an Android device
Web developer here. I have two devices, a Samsung Galaxy S3 & a Samsung Note 10.1. I have developed a website which is running on PHP and I would like to view my website on these two devices without having to upload it to an online server. My local server is a WAMPSERVER. I've heard that you could use Wi-Fi and connect to my PC's IP address however my wifi signal is very weak (I use a desktop upstairs, router is downstairs) so I would like a setup that requires me to physically connect my devices to my PC through a USB cable. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance! :)

system.img file is missing after building Android source
I am attempting to flash a modified Android build to my Nexus 7 tablet. I am following this tutorial from Google, and using the specific build commands found here for my device, `full_grouper-userdebug`. With the device in fastboot mode and connected to the PC, I run the following commands: `$ . build/envsetup.sh` (Initialize build environment.) `$ lunch full_grouper-userdebug` (Configure the build for specific device.) `$ make -j8` (Build the source.) `$ make fastboot adb` (Build fastboot and adb.) `$ fastboot -w flashall` (Flash build to device.) At this point, I receive the following error: `error: cannot open '~/<source path>/out/target/product/grouper/system.img'` When I issue a find command, nothing is returned: `$ find ~/<source path>/ -name system.img` `$` Why does the file not exist? Without it, I do not know how to flash my modifications. Any ideas? I am using Ubuntu 13.10.

How to change notification pane image
I've just installed an ICS Rom (HTC Nameless) which has background images in both the notification pane and app drawer. These images don't appear to be well planned, because I can't read anything very well on top of them. I'd like to either change or remove both images, but don't have the faintest clue of where to start looking. I have tried a few apps that have utilities for this, but none of them seem to work. I know my way around the filesystem alright, so I would like to change them manually. My device details are as such: Phone: HTC Desire C Rom: Nameless (ICS 4.0.3) v7.3 build 4 Rooted: yes If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be very glad :)

Can't install from market: INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT
I have an LG Optimus V with CyanogenMod 7.1. I cannot install/upgrade anything from the Market. I keep getting "Package File Invalid". I think it may have something to do with s2e, though I only have apps and download cache moved to SD-ext. I tried to install an app from the Market, and it gave me "Package File Invalid". I then ran `adb pull downloadfile.apk` to get the downloaded apk. Running `adb install downloadfile.apk` gave me: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT] How can I fix this, so I can install apps? EDIT: Could this be due to not having enough space for my new apps' dalvik cache? I tried to use s2e to copy the dalvik cache to sd-ext, but it's not working. It says "reboot required", and after I reboot, it still says that; I don't think it copied the files at all.

Why an android device overwrites the header named message-ID?
I do not understand why android devices (I think mobiles devices in general) overwrite the mail header named message-ID. I need to pass some parameters through this header to build threads but each time I try, is overwritten. My apps works very well with webmail and mail clients like Outlook and Thunderbird. Any idea? Do you know some apps to debug mail headers within android devices? Thanks Adam

Are there any solutions other than flashing Gapps, to have Google accounts on CyanogenMod?
I've flashed CyanogenMod, nightly, and it is working perfectly. When I flash Gapps, then battery is drained fast, and the device is getting overheated. **So, are there any solutions other than flashing Gapps, to have Google accounts on CyanogenMod?** P.S. I extracted the Gapps.zip, there was a folder named "apps" there, none of which could be installed. I tested installation using "adb", and got error related to certificate. I think by having ONLY Google Play Store, other apps can be installed, if I'm wrong, then please tell me what else is needed. Thanks in advance

Tap to pay issue GS4 CM 10.2 is there a fix?
Recently flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2 to my sprint variant of the galaxy s4 and I've noticed that my tap to pay through Google wallet no longer works at all. I've tried some online solutions involving changing build properties and such and flashing mods and such but have had no luck at all with fixing this. If anyone could help or let me know it's hopeless at all it would help. On a side note any one know how to get the ir transmitter to work in CM so I can control my TV?

Why does my Android device generate more heat on an AC charger?
My Huawei IDEOS u8150 is new and ever since I used the AC charger that was supplied with it, my device gets a bit hotter (a noticable 5 degrees Celsius extra compared to charging via USB from laptop). Why is it not that hot when I try to charge it through PC/laptop? I hear a whirring noise from the AC charger always and the adapter gets a little warm too. Also, my device charges faster on the AC charger compared to the laptop charge method. Is this normal on all devices in general? Or all Huawei devices? Or is this something faulty I should worry about?

Water Damage to Droid 4 Non Removable Battery
I dropped my Droid 4 in a clean toilet. The battery is not removable so I am concerned that waiting 2 or 3 days while it "drys out" in rice is a complete waste of time. I am hoping someone can tell me if there is any hope that it may function normally again or should I buy a new one. I'm not a patient person so waiting for it to dry out is sort of annoying.

Convenient way to retain accounts/settings/icons/logins between installs?
I like installing the latest CyanogenMod nightly now and then. I do so by putting the zip on the SD card and installing it through ClockworkMod Recovery. But every time I do that, I have to do a lot of manual backup and recovery to get the system back to where I started: * Email accounts * Text messages * Home screen icons and widgets * Login settings for apps such as DropBox and Remember the Milk. * Wifi settings My contacts and installed apps are carried over automatically as soon as I've connected the phone/install to my Google account. Is there a convenient way to get the above points carried over automatically?

Are there any video players with commercial skip for Android?
I have a TiVo Series 3 and the TiVo Desktop Plus software, which I use to convert shows for playback on my iPod Touch. I'd love to find a video player that would have 30 second/commercial skip for an Android phone (future purchase). It's hard for me to adjust the slider on the video player with that degree of precision.

Can I use ODIN to just back up my phone's data?
The goal here is to be able to quickly get all my settings and apps back when moving from ROM to ROM, but do so without overwriting the kernel, themes, etc., in the new ROM. I know I can use Titanium Backup, but ODIN would definitely be faster (and half the time with my Droid Charge, it's what I'm using to flash the new ROM anyway).

regularly refresh Chrome tab
I have a Transformer Prime TF201 which I sit next to my main pc to display a webpage that shows stats about the systems I work on. However this page is a bit rubbish for updating and will time out and log off and generally just not work all that well (its a home made iframe that just shows data from other sites). On a windows system elsewhere I used a line of VBS to, effectively, hit F5 every 30 seconds and this basically resolved all the issues. Can anyone think of a way to do this on Android?

Is it possible to use the Maps app to save a location and give it a name so that all the saved locations appear as a layer?
This seems like a option that should exist in the Maps location app but I cannot seem to find it. Backstory: My previous phone was a Windows Phone. On this phone the default location app HERE Maps showed maps. Long pressing an area on the map area gives an address which if tapped would allow to name the place and mark it as favorite. All the favorites would show up on the map above the base layer. Now: The Maps app with the android phone has a similar option. Long pressing the map area will give the address of an area. Tapping the address allows you to mark it as a favorite. And all the favorites show up on the map. However it is missing the option to name a place to show up on the map. Is there anyway this can be done with the Maps app?

Configure Android for ONLY IPv6 on T-Mobile
I figured out how to configure a dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 "Access Point" for T-Mobile connectivity on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, with stock Android 4.2.2. For some reason, when I visit http://myglobalip.com, I'm still getting an IPv4 address returned in addition to the IPv6 address. **Question:** How do I configure the "Access Point" so that it **only** gets an IPv6 address, and **not** an IPv4 address? My current IPv6 "Access Point" configuration looks like: APN: epc.tmobile.com Proxy: Not set Port: Not set Username: Not set Password: Not set Server: Not set MMSC: Not set MMS proxy: Not set MMS port: Not set MCC: 310 MNC: 260 Authentication type: Not set APN type: Not set APN protocol: IPv6 APN roaming protocol: IPv4 Bearer: Unspecified

How to disable Verizon backup assistant?
My friend has an HTC Droid Incredible and his phone's battery is draining like nothing else. He says Verizon Backup Assistant seems to keep getting hung up while his battery is draining. During this time he also can't get Google to snyc. From what I can tell Verizon Backup Assistant offers no useful features once your contacts are already in Google so I'm thinking just disable it. Does anyone know how to do this?

It is charging from the computer, but I can not download any of the stuff I've done. Running windows 7 on my computer. I've turned it off and on again, it is not working. I probably have added an app or two, I am not sure. It has been a while since I uploaded from this phone, but I plug it into the computer every night.

How to sync my iCloud email acct using the stock email app?
I am using cyanogenmod11 on both my phone and tablet which comes with AOSP email app. I've also tried the latest stock email app that Google released recently on the playstore. No matter what I do, I can't get my email. The server settings (both imap and smtp) validates fine but nothing happens. I've looked at various guides available in the net. They are very much the same. The settings used are the same. I have tried K-9 mail app using the same settings and that works fine retrieving my data. So I believe I'm using the correct settings. Any ideas what I could set in the stock email app? Thanks :)

Suddenly can't find several apps in Market
So I've been using several apps for a while now, and all of the sudden, I can't seem to find them in the Market anymore. If I look on the "My downloads" page in the Market, it does show as installed, and I can even update them if I hit "Update all". However I can't seem to navigate to the apps's page, neither through the "My downloads" page nor through simply searching for it. It just says it can't find the item. Note that this doesn't occur with all apps, just specific ones. As mentioned before, the apps were installed earlier and I didn't have this problem back then. The apps I've run across that have this problem so far are the following * WhatsApp * eBuddy * PingChat! * ebuddy XMS I've tried uninstalling them through app management, but this leaves me with an uninstalled app with no possibility of re-installing it through the Market. I'm using a UK Motorola Milestone running the official Froyo update. Any ideas anyone? :D

How to change the color of specific calendars?
I'm using the default calendar application that came with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S 2), which is kept in sync with Google Calendar. I have multiple calendars there, but I was not able to find a way to change the colors of specific calendars, which is unfortunate as calendar #1 and #5 share almost precisely the same color by default. Those are _not_ the same color I see in the online Google Calendar. Is there a way to control the colors of specific calendars, or is there a similar, alternate calendar or tool I can use that will allow me to do so?

ICE Emergency Contacts on Emergency Dialer Screen
On my Samsung Galaxy S 4, I can add contacts to the "ICE - emergency contacts" group. When I initiate the emergency dialer, there are four gray buttons with plus signs. Pressing any one of them brings up a list of the contacts I added to that group. Each of the buttons acts the same. I would think that you should be able to assign one contact per button and have the button show a name or relation. Is it possible to do this? How? ![emergency dialer](http://i.stack.imgur.com/jdSgg.png)

This happens despite the fact that I have Data roaming off. I have to turn Data enabled to off or go to Airplane Mode to get the phone to stop using data roaming. Is there a way to actually disable data roaming so that I can set it and forget it?

Cannot copy files in recovery mode which made Google nexus S unusable
I have a Google Nexus S, bought last year and it was working fine till last week. It came with Android Ginger Bread, and I rooted the phone and installed several custom ROMs including Cyanogenmod. Recently I installed Android Jelly bean ROM, and it was working fine. Last week, I wanted to try the Cyanogedmod 10 (on Jelly bean). I went to recovery mode for taking a backup. But I saw a recent backup which was taken before 2 months. I thought that should be fine. I cleared all cache and did a factory reset for getting ready for the new ROM. Now something went wrong! I tried to reboot the device, but I could only see the usual animated CROSS logo( with four colours) for ever. I even left the phone for more than a hour. But it is not rebooting. //SO CAN'T RELOAD THE PREVIOUSLY WORKING OS I tried restoring from the previous backup.. It shows that "installation complete". After that while rebooting the device just hangs in the same place. //SO CAN'T RESTORE FROM MY PREVIOUS BACKUP I thought of copying the new rom in the device. I could not succeed. I tried adb command through my SDK. ADB is not listing my device. In all the forums it is mentioned that to enable the USB debugging from the phone. I cannot do this, because I cannot go into the device OS other than recovery mode. I even tried some GUI stuff like Android commander / QtADB but every thing needs USB Enable from the OS Menu. Finally I tried mounting disk from recovery mode. Whenever I mount the disk, Windows 7 is fixing the file system errors and bad sectors for a while and shows "no problems were found" and it is ready to use. Here something weird happens. I can copy the files in windows explorer and can see the files in the device thru explorer, BUT when I unmount and browse from the recovery mode the files are not there. (may be the files are copied in cache) //SO I CAN'T COPY ANY FILE TO THE DEVICE.. ( May be here I am doing something silly. ) My phone is now unusable! Any advice/tips is highly appreciated! Cheers Kum

Wi-Fi of Galaxy S2 is not working after ICS update!
I updated my Galaxy S2 with the official OTA update to Android ICS 4.0.3 After the upgrade, my wireless worked for a couple of hours, but after a restart it doesn't work at all (for a week now). I tried a couple of tricks (none of them working): 1) `*#*#526#*#*` combination 2) WiFi Direct activation 3) Static IP 4) Changing to 2.4 GHz None of them are working!!! Somebody has any other ideas? BTW: I'm not getting an IP from my router. The router is working fine with other phones.

Samsung Galaxy S2 wifi - Connected but no internet
My Galaxy S2 (ICS I9100G) connects to my home wifi but sometimes does not actually transmit data. I took it to the shop and they did a factory reset (which I could have done on my own) and then was told to take it home and see if it was any better. It wasn't. O2 tech support didn't really have much to offer so I tried various different online fixes. None worked. We got another router (for the back of the house) which used WPA2 whereas the initial router uses WPA. My SGS2 works absolutely fine on this new router. What's going on?

Is there a way to select text directly in Android?
I would like to edit some text on my way home, however I found that in Android there is no way to simply select some text to delete or change it. You have to first locate the cursor or long press the screen to enable selection, then drag the cursor for selection. This is quite inconvenient. I tried Jota Text Editor, 920 Editor, Note Everything and Evernote - no one offers a simple method to select text directly. Is there any way to do this?

Is there any battery-less Android-based device
I'be been working on some Chinese (bit crappy) device, with own system, that had one wonderful (at least for me) feature. When constantly powered-up (plugged to power adapter) it could work without the battery inside. Is there any Android-based phone or device that does the same? Or the only option here is to keep battery inside, keep it powered up all the time (I have some reasons for that) and replace battery quite often, since it will be charging and discharging it the same time (will it), thus lowering its life- span.

Market won't show some apps on custom rom
I installed cyanogenmod 10.2 on my samsung galaxy s3 and asus tf101g, and it looks like both of them have one problem with apps showing in play store. For example I have buyed Mantano Reader Premium and it's showing on "All" section, I can install it and it'll work, but it wan't show in "installed" section, so i'm not getting any update notifications or such. I tried to restore market links with Titanium backup, but it did nothing. In fact, i think the links are ok, because it was installed from market. App reinstall obviously not helping too. Searching solutions i got some varians: 1) Use Market Helper by Jummy: com.jrummy.apps.google.play.api Didn't help. I tryed to delete market cache and data, modify device properties in Market helper and reopen market. Nothing helped 2) Modify build.prop and set ro.build.fingerprint to some "good' value. Didn't help. Actually i found that cyanogenmod already have some value from samsung s3 stock rom, and I also tried to modify it to something from other devices, remove data and cache from market and restart device. Also got nothing. So, is there any good solution? What exactly is restricted: * Device name? * Android version? * Region? How I can find and fix that? For example here is some affected applications: * Facebook * Mantano reader premium * Whats app They appears in "all" tab, u can install, but it wan't came on "installed". Wan't appear in search also. I'm using market 4.4.21. Thanks for helping.

Samsung Galaxy S4 "Prevention Information" USB OTG
I am trying to connect things to my S4 with a USB OTG cable. Standard devices such as mass storage, keyboard and mouse all work fine. My problem seems to be with vendor class devices. I connected an FTDI USB to UART bridge (TTL-232R-3V3) to a USB OTG cable and installed the FTDI app. I plugged in the OTG cable and the phone reccognised the FTDI chip, launched the app, waited a few seconds and then closed the app again. I got the message: "Prevention Information, An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device". (Including the grammatical error) I have the same problem with my Arduino Uno using the ArduinoDriod app. I tried both devices on a friend's Huawei p6 and they both worked fine. From what I can tell, this issue is specific to the S4 and seems to be related to the recent update to Samsung Knox. Does anyone know of a work around that doesn't involve rooting the device? I am still in the 14 day trial period of the phone, so I could swap it for a different one. How do I tell if the Galaxy Note 3 or the LG G2 will have the same problem?

Huawei Ascend P6, Moving maps to external sdcard
I bought an Huawei Ascend P6, which comes with 8GB internal phone storage. But only ~4GB are available for the "internal storage". I installed my apps, which include Tomtom Europe and Copilot Europe, which respectively have maps of about 4 and 2 GB. Both of them only install the offline maps in the internal memory for this phone. I am trying to find a way to install those maps into the external SD. I tried, without success, the following solutions * trying to move the apps to SD card after installing the maps. The App gets moved, but the maps remain in the internal storage. * trying to create a symbolic link installing a terminal app and using the `ln -s` command. But it doesn't work since the /mnt/sdcard (internal memory) is VFAT. * I tried some apps to move applications to the external SD card, but no success yet. (tried Link2SD) Any help would be appreciated. I read that FolderMount App can solve the problem, but it only works for rooted device. But my device isn't rooted (so, if anyone does have a good tutorial on how to root this device, it would be appreciated). But if possible, I would avoid rooting. I still have the last try in the arsenal, which is enabling the debug mode in the cell phone and trying to use the command `pm set-install-location 2` via adb or a terminal emulator app. I didn't try this yet, since at the moment my phone is installing the firmware update. Any help would be appreciated.

Samsung galaxy s4 long vibrate time on 'vibrate' mode.
I have Samsung Galaxy s4 - GT-i9500, running Android 4.2.2. Im using Facebook messenger to chat with my friend on Facebook.

Any suggestions how to get back to the '2 short vibrates'? * in' sound' mode, I get the normal case - 2 short vibrates. Thanks!

So far, when I "force-stop" and "disable" an app like LINE, I still cannot connect. So, I thought: _it's possible that the phone is reserving the app's networking info, somehow._ **So, I went so far as to uninstall Line from my phone and reset the phone and PC. Still unable to use Line on the PC. Furthermore; Skype works simultaneously on PC and Phone.** 2. **Perhaps it's a PC or OS issue?** I still have yet to tether my phones to a different PC or OS. 3. **Perhaps it's a DNS issue?** I still have yet to test this, but I believe I get a similar error with OpenDNS when trying to access localhost. 4. **"Activate EasyTether or use it with UDP and secure sites BLOCKED**? This message appears at the top of Easy Tether's settings screen. I'm very curious to know whether or not this is the cause. It seems highly likely.

When taking pictures with GPS enabled, is the 'has the "GPS searching/locked notification icon" been disabled?
Background: In stock (i.e. pure Google with no manufacturer customizations) Android 4.3 using the built-in camera app, I am using the geotagging feature of the camera app. Description of the problem: When the geotagging is turned on I don't see any GPS status in the notification bar. Previously when in the camera app on older version when geotagging is turned on I would see an icon appear in the notifcation bar. The icon that appears would indicate your GPS model is in use and a circle would indicate 'searching for GPS' and then the filled in circle would indicate 'GPS acquired and locked'. Question: **When you enable geotagging in Android 4.3 built-in camera app, has the 'GPS searching/locked notification icon' been hidden even though GPS is being used?** Motivation: The reason I ask is because the previous method is akin to a video camera's red blinking light . Where the red blinking light tells you that you are recording and then you can take appropriate action. Without the red blinking light on the video camera you would have all sorts of recordings when you didn't want and other problematic scenarios. Returning back to the Android camera app scenario, if the GPS icon doesn't ever appear to the user... even if GPS is actively being used --> that would lead to situations where I would record the GPS location for a photo when I didn't want to record the GPS location.

Setting gmail to sync / push / notify on wifi only?
I have a droid mini that is running 4.2.2 and I want gmail to only sync automatically on WIFI only; never on 4g / network / whatever. How do I do this without rooting the phone? When I first bought the phone, gmail allowed me to chose to sync on wifi only (and by sync, I mean that it would notify me of new emails and download them or what not on wifi only). This is how it was originally set up. I work for a local cable company and this was great. I know this is how it was originally set up because 1) I set it up that way and 2) when I setup up new internet connections in customer's homes, I would use the wifi on my phone to verify that their internet was working. As soon as the wifi would connect I would usually hear my phone announce I had emails, letting me know the wifi was connected. Then today, I was having an issue with Google play store. I took my phone into Verizon where they claimed to only have 'soft reset' the phone. Now, not only does gmail download / notify /syn (whatever) whenever it wants but the setting for wifi only is completely gone. I distinctly remember something like 'sync on wifi only' or 'push on wifi only' or something like this. I assume there has been some update or something recently and I have no idea how to check this. I would, however, be happy to uninstall the update if i could get it to work on wifi only again. So long story short, how the hell do I get gmail to 'whatever' on wifi only without rooting?

In my new Galaxy GT-I9100 Android version 4.0.3 everything expect WI-Fi is working fine. When I am connecting my wireless it's getting connected, but not able to browse the internet. I tried changing from DHCP to Static IP Address, restarted mobile/Wi-Fi router, removed the battery and checked, it's working for only a few minutes and again the same issue.

Connect physical Android Wear watch to emulated phone
I have found many tutorials that explain how to pair an emulated Android Wear watch to a physical phone. However, I would like to do the opposite. Is it possible to create a Bluetooth connection from the pc to the watch and then tell ADB to make the phone emulator use this connection?

How to store currently downloading file via mobile directly on PC
I have a very big file that needs to be downloaded and I am using my Android phone to download it. Is there a way to directly store or sync it on my laptop? It is too big and there is not enough space available on my phone, so I was thinking of a way to directly choose my laptop's hard drive as default storage for the downloader, so that it downloads and save the file on my laptop's hard drive instead of phone's memory.

Why does my ZTE Score have so much trouble emulating video game consoles + games?
I have an ARM v6 600 MHz revision 5 CPU with 512 MB RAM. The GPU is an Adreno 200 with 245 MHz clock speed. It seems that anything in the 3-D realm, including some 2-D games, have trouble emulating perfectly smooth. I realize that 600 MHz CPUs are pretty poor these days, especially single-core and with dated microarchs. Some emulators also exhaust the CPU. My question is, is this ability to perform emulation based more on the hardware or software on Android-powered devices? It has to be a little of both, but I'm using Gingerbread. Do any newer Android OSes have better demand, or am I limited solely by the CPU?

Block Connection to Specific BSSID's?
I am setting up my friend's network for his kids. I have Tomato firmware running on their Linksys with OpenDNS filtering as well as timed Access Restrictions (ie, no more internet access after 11:30pm). That's all fine and dandy as long as my friend's son's phone stays on his network. However, he is getting access to a friend's router nearby (however, he does not have data on his phone; so I don't need to worry about that). In Tomato, I can go to Tools > Wireless Survey and I can see all the BSSID's that are all around their house. I also have rooted my friend's son's Android phone. Is there any way to block the phone from connecting to specific BSSID's? I have AirDroid installed and can access the root files from my house. Is there some file in there that I can edit?

How to get rid of this orange highlighter
Recently I've noticed a really annoying orange highlighting feature that I can't find a way to get rid of. It usually appears in the default browser and apps that use webview (websites that act like apps). So I was hoping someone would know of a way to get rid of it. Some info about my devices: * Archos Platinum 50 * Runs a vanilla flavored stock ROM (android 4.1.2) * Rooted I've attached a sample image with it. ![annoying orange touch-highlighter](http://i.stack.imgur.com/wjXEL.jpg)

How to create duplicate bookmarks in Android?
I'm using the stock browser on my new Samsung S3 mini (Jellybean) and am having trouble with the browser. When I go to the bookmarks page it seems to have two sections, one called "My Device" and one for my Google account, which seems to contain my bookmarks from my desktop Chrome browser. I have 100 or so bookmarks on my desktop browser since I have a mouse and a nice big screen to go along with it but on my phone I don't expect to be able to browse more than a few very often so I'd like to create a set of bookmarks to access from the phone quickly and easily. I don't want to navigate around the complex directory structure that I have for my desktop. I'm running into a problem though. It seems that the browser won't let you duplicate any bookmarks. When you try to add them it just says "already in use" if the bookmark exists anywhere under "My Devices" or my Google account and no matter where I'm adding the bookmark. Have you all run into this problem and how have you solved it? Should I resort to stupid tricks like adding a "#" after all the bookmarks for the mobile version simply to convince the browser that it's a different page when it's not really?

How can I determine if my device has USB Host Mode (OTG) support?
Some Android devices can act as a USB host, so that you can use other USB devices attached to them. For instance, browse or import the photos stored on a camera from your phone, or copy files onto a USB memory stick attached to your tablet, plug a full-size USB keyboard or mouse into a tablet, or use an external GPS or wifi device. How can I tell if my device can do this?

How do you transfer a programs database to another device
I am using the **Book Catalog** program to scan and enter my collection of books. This program provides an export/backup and import feature, so I can transfer the entered data onto another device. But I am wondering now: programs can create databases on one device. **Can you transfer these database onto another device ?** More specific, could I buy another Samsung Galaxy (or any other Android powered device) and transfer the database onto it for use with the same program (without the export/import feature ) ?

Who is creating icons?
Some application (malware? adware?) is creating garbage icons on my Android desktop. How to know the application who does this? I heard each application is a Linux user on android. Is it possible to see icon file owner ID then? My device is Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Android is 3.2 **UPDATE** Icons are different. Some of them mimic existing icons, other are entitled with question marks. I can delete them, but they appearing again. I need to have general way to know icon creator.

How to get out of broken home screen replacement?
I was writing my own home screen replacement, and while trying it out on my ZTE Blade I got into a bit of trouble. I have hooked the HOME-button, and set my app as the default for it. Too late I realised there is no (easy) way out of such an app. I have tried: * holding down VOL DOWN to get into FTM-mode, but that just gives me screen that says "FTM" and nothing more * Using adb, but it just says my device is offline. Debug mode is not enabled on the phone. So, how can I: 1) get out of an app that has hooked HOME-button? or 2) reset the phone with a button-combo or over USB (since I cant access the menus) Installing new ROMs is something I rather not do.

Opening sms thread goes into incorrect thread
When using my mobile (HTC Desire), I would say I use sms more often than actually using it as a phone. Because of this, I have a fairly huge history of sms threads (I really like how HTC Desire displays the sms conversation). However, I've realised that every so often when I hit on say sms thread with "person A" I actually get sms thread with "person B". At first I thought it was just me accidentally hitting the one below. However, today this happened three times (tried to open personA, but got personB instead) and the thing is there is a gap of ~8 between person A and personB... so impossible for me to accidentally hit the wrong one...(plus the repeated occurrence is quite annoying!) Was wondering if anyone has a similar experience or know why this is happening... also preferably how to fix it :)

Can't Access iPlayer via Internet Pass-through - is there a workaround?
My HTC Desire HD plays nicely with Windows 7 and while at work I use it for personal web access, quicker than H/G/E connection and free. However when attempting to view/listen to content on the BBC's iPlayer I get a message which asks me to switch to a wi-fi connection to access their content. Is there a way of getting over this? Seems like very odd design ... Thanks.

Using YouTube under Orbot
I'm trying to put my YouTube app's traffic on Orbot (Tor) in my phone due to filtering issues in my country. When Orbot is in **Tor Everything** mode, it works, and all of the traffic used by YouTube is gone through Orbot. But, when I choose **Select Apps** (and I select YouTube in there) it stops working. The point is that the video is not behind Tor on this state. Should I add another app to that list? What should I do?

Cannot upgrade Samsung gt-i5800 firmware from 2.1
Hi I cannot upgrade Samsung gt-i5800 firmware from 2.1 using kies, it tells me that the phone requires 3000 mb (or 3gb) but it doesn't even have this as internal memory as far as i know! Has anyone else had this problem? Also the storage space is always getting full and won't save on my external sd card - will the update change that? Any help would be great as I don't know what I'm doing and I'm sick of a phone that can only have 5 extra apps or so on top of the ones it comes with :(

Galaxy Tab 3 won't boot - dead battery?
I'm kind of disappointed, this morning I wanted to start my GT3 but I get this logo instead (sorry for the poor quality) : ![Battery Logo](http://i.stack.imgur.com/4PxR5.png) I've try AB testing with my Nexus 5 battery loader, both works on my Nexus. The GT3 flash sometimes and boot a few times but stop after less than 1 min. I can't launch the tests (`Power` \+ `Vol +`) because it "needs battery to be above 3.4V. Is the battery dead ?
