18352 | How can I get Tasker to set my Google Chat Status? | I'd like my Google Chat status to update by task; specifically '@Work' and '@Home', on the obvious criteria. Is there a plugin or script that will allow me to set the status in a task? With additional work, could I do it via something like SL4A and trigger it from Tasker? I'd prefer to avoid a graft like this as a plugin would be more efficient, but it's better than nothing. |
18353 | Is there music player that supports both AAC and MIDI files on Android 2.3? | Update from 2.1 to 2.3 broken playing from aac files in most players. The only music player that is more or less usable is PowerAMP (and also video players like MoboPlayer and MX Player). But it won't play midi files. The only player that can play both aac and mid files I tried is MoboPlayer. But it is video player (so no useful widget/play queue).

38019 | Nexus 7: does ruining the bootloader hard-brick the device? Or is there still a chance to recover? | So, I've got a Nexus 7 and would like to start expirementing with images, etc (primary goal being installing Ubuntu in multiboot with Android, probably loading from a flash drive over an OTG cable). My main concern (and hence the question) is: _I've heard, that rooting, unlocking the bootloader and flashing ROMs involve some dangeorus operations (like "fastboot erase boot loader") that can render the Nexus 7 unbootable if something goes wrong (i.e. the bootloader ends up in a messed state or erased)._ Is there always a strong guarantee (not "99 out of 100, I'd say, if you're lucky") I can get the Nexus 7 to boot an OS with software-only means (i.e. USB cable, PC, and my hands pressing the hardware buttons on the tablet) if the above-described scenario takes place (i.e. the bootloader is ruined and the device refuses to boot)? I've discovered that there exist different opinions on that matter, with some (obviously quite experienced) people telling one should not really worry about possible problems during image flashing and alike operations, and still others seem to struggle with what appears to be a Nexus 7 hard-bricked after an unsuccessful flash attempt. For example: * This thread is a story of several Nexus 7 devices (hard) bricked with essentially a wrong sequence of fastboot (or alike) commands. * This fresh thread bears an example of "a knowldgeble guy" telling everything can be fixed. **Please note: this question is specifically about Nexus 7, and not about unbricking in general!** |
38018 | Gmail Notification stopped working on Nexus 4 | I have to press the refresh option in Gmail just to get new messages. I have checked the application and the notification setting is on. I stopped it and then again started it but still it is not working. Is anyone else facing such issue? Android version is 4.2.1 In my accounts it is showing that "Sync is OFF". Has this something to do with this? I always see this option like this and have to go inside it to change Gmail, Currents, Photos, etc. to sync. |
38014 | How do i find apps which weren't installed from Android Market | The _Sky Go_ application will not work for me because it thinks my Samsung Galaxy Nexus is rooted even though I have never rooted it. According to the Sky customer service agent I chatted to, this can be because of apps on the phone which weren't installed from the Android Market/Google Play. I know that I have manually installed an apk or two in the past[1], but I am not sure which apps still on the phone (if any) were installed manually. So, how can I tell which apps on phone were installed manually and which were installed from the Android Market/Google Play? [1] Amusingly, the only app I can remember installing manually was the Sky Go app, when it wasn't available to download for Galaxy Nexus phones. It didn't work however, and I removed it. |
38017 | Will Android tablets have issues if they are always on? | I plan on using an Android tablet in an always-on scenario (a fancy self-coded alarm clock, but this would apply to numerous uses). Is there any problems with keeping an Android tablet on and charging all the time? Is this likely to cause screen issues? |

62748 | How to disable GPU rendering on Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8" | You're reading it right, I'm trying to do the oposite as others. **I want to use CPU for rendering.** The reason is simple. My tablet is freezing very frequently. I have no warranty, so I'm trying to solve problem by lowering performance of device. I isolated a problem and I'm sure freezing is caused by GPU. It freezes on gfx intese moments(few seconds of video playback), or on overlay (Eg. opening search dialog in google play causes almost instant freeze). So the question stands: **How can I disable GPU rendering on my device** (I have terminal with root access if it helps)? What I already tried: 1\. Underclocking CPU has no effect on freezing. I tried powersave mode with 200MHz, with no impact on problem. 2\. Underclocking GPU has also no effect on freezing. |
5653 | Is there an android phone that fits these criteria? | I'm not asking for recommendations, just if there is a phone that fits these criteria, and if so, what is it? 1. Android (preferably 2.2+) 2. Physical Keyboard 3. HTC 4. Verizon |
75042 | Android L Preview upgrade | I was about to flash the phome with the command prompt, but an error came up saying that the device was locked. Does this mean is has to be rooted? If I root it and upgrade it will it be unrooted again because I don't want to loose my warranty. |
47069 | Problem importing CSV/vCARD contacts to S3 | I have an _S3_ I'm attempting to import contacts to. I started with a list I've converted to `.CSV` and then used an online converter to create `.VCF` files from for each of the contacts. The _S3_ will not import the `.CSV` or `.VCF` files. I've combined the `.VCF` files into 1 and it still refuses to import them. Is there any other way to do this without creating a _GMail/Google account_ to first import them into? (Device is setup with an IMAP account so no need for GMail). The _S3_ reports "`Couldn't import vCard`" then within notification it reads "`The format is not supported`". The `.VCF`'s I have created are _version 2.1_. What versions of _vCard_ does the _S3_ support? |

36631 | samsung galaxy s2 battery shuts phone down when plugging in charger | I have a Galaxy S2 and when I plug in the charger on one battery the phone shuts down and will not reboot.

15303 | I have multiple Google accounts on my phone. How can I delete some of them? | I have an annoying problem with this Samsung Epic 4G touch. I set up a new Gmail account, which I use for Google Talk and the Android Market. However, I logged in to YouTube under two usernames at various points. I am not logged in and when I click Market it defaults to one of the YouTube accounts instead of my Gmail account. Under accounts, it shows all three. How do I delete the two YouTube accounts? I don't want them to access the Market and it does every time even though I no longer log into YouTube. |
19482 | How to put a lock screen with security code on a Arnova 10 G 2? | I have a Arnova 10 G 2 with Android 2.3 which works very well, but it has no unlock screen and no security options.

5994 | How can I make the button on my headphones control something other than the stock music player? | When I press this button, it plays/pauses the stock music player. I don't use the stock music player--I use a comination of Last.fm, Grooveshark, and Winamp. I would like to make the button play/pause whichever player I am currently using. If this isn't possible, I would like it to simply control Winamp, instead of the default player. I am using Android 2.1 (unrooted) on a Samsung Fascinate. |
39051 | My dialler app is severely lagging | I have a HTC Sensation running Android 4.0.3 (HTC Sense 3.6, 3.33.401.53). Of late I've been having increasing problems with global lag, however this is really most noticeable on the dialler/phone app itself. By more noticeable, I mean several times worse compared to anything else. I can open the contacts menu in the dialler without difficulty and filter by name to get the number I want up, however I get no response when I click the name (aside from a green flash of it to indicate I've pressed sucessfully). There's then a pause of I would say up to a minute in the worst cases before it actually dials. Usually I've pressed it multiple times in the hope of it working, whereupon it calls the person multiple times and I end up with several calls to the same person 'on hold'. Is there any known cause for this or _even better_ any likely way to fix it? I could do a factory reset if this doesn't get resolved as it makes the phone close to unusable. The effect isn't really on answering calls, though there is a lag on that too (but not to anywhere near the degree). |
5990 | What are the pros/cons of using the JIT (Just-in-Time) compiler on an older phone? | On an older phone originally designed to run Android 1.5 or 1.6, what are the pros and cons of using a newer Android feature like the JIT compiler? |
214 | Any tips for phone stability? | My Moto Droid has seen great performance improvements with each new Android version, and has been much more stable and reliable with each version release. Recently I was in a situation where the phone just didn't think it had a cell signal, and then wouldn't disconnect the call that it couldn't place because of the non-existent cell signal. Ultimately I had to reboot the phone to get it to be usable again. This happened when I really needed to make a call and was a huge hassle. Having a smart phone with tons of data network features is great, but I still pay more for minutes than I do for data (thank you US carriers...) so not having it function as a phone when I need it is very frustrating. I'm running Android 2.2 and don't use many widgets nor do I keep many programs running that use background services (don't usually keep GTalk connected, etc) Does anyone have any general tips or apps to avoid to help keep my phone stable and reliable? |
213 | Can I screenshot my HTC Legend without rooting it? | I've been told rooting is the be all and end all, but at the moment, I want to see how far I can extend my device without rooting it. One thing that would be good is screenshot functionality, but I can't seem to find an application on the marketplace that does this without a **** ROOTED PHONES ONLY **** disclaimer. Is there any way to get screenshot functionality without a rooted phone? And what is the reason for this functionality being disabled by default. The iFail can get screenshotted with 2 button pushes, why not the Android? |
16769 | Change the location of on screen buttons bar | The on screen buttons bar "Back, Home, menu" are not convinently located at the bottom of the tablet screen as it is in close proximity of controls of the program being run.

219 | How Do I Keep My Droid X's SD Card from Mounting as a Drive in Windows? | Stock Droid X, running 2.1. I have the USB Connection mode set to "Charge Only". Whenever I connect the phone to my computer to charge, the SD card mounts as a drive in the computer. In the phone's USB Connection settings, it is still listed as "Charge Only", but the SD card is not available to the phone. They only way to get it back is to: 1. Change the connection mode to "USB Mass Storage" on the phone 2. Unmount the SD card within Windows. 3. Change the connection mode back to "Charge Only" This works, but it is a pain to do this every time, when I should be able to just set the connection I want and plug it in. Is there anything I'm missing? Edit: This happens with more than one computer - one running Windows XP, one running Windows 7. Neither have the Android SDK installed. **Update** \- The upgrade to Froyo seems to have fixed this issue. |
12073 | Download free-software apps from official Android Market without logging in | The Android Market has some apps which are free software, which entails that anyone can redistribute them; and that are also zero cost. (An example is Theremin, but I'm not interested only in that one specific app.) So for those apps, there's no good reason for me to register with the Market in order to get those apps and install them. I have no interest in registering with the Market. It would be good if such free-software and zero-cost apps were available at more places, like the FDroid Repository, which doesn't require anyone's credentials in order to get the apps. (Please note: this question is **not a request for other app stores** , that's not the issue.) But the Android Market doesn't have an obvious way to download apps without logging in. How can I do so? |
12071 | Hide or autohide top bar | Is it possible to hide or autohide the top bar which is still present on the top of Android screen? My version of Android is 2.2. The top bar is distracting for me while reading. I'm using `Aldiko`, `ezPDF Reader`, `Infinity` for reading. Most **distracting** is the **wifi icon** which is changing when something happens with the connection. And the top bar is **using space** on a **small display** which can be better utilized (e.g. in `Teamviewer`) Some **video players** can hide the top bar (default `Video player`) and some can't (`Act1 Video player` \- which I like more but don't use because of the top bar). Thank you. |

46739 | Can I share some Google stuff without sharing Gmail? | I have a Nexus 4 and my wife just got an HTC One. I'd like to share accounts in Google play so that we can share app purchases. I'd also like to share Google music, contacts, and some other things. I don't want to share Gmail, Keep, and G+ I saw there were answers like this: Can I share my Google Play "cloud" music with a family member? But that was last updated a year ago. I'm hoping things have improved. I understand I can turn off email syncing, but that doesn't stop someone from just going into the mailbox manually. Creating a separate account for just music is cumbersome and is not an option. I'd rather just setup Spotify. **EDIT to clarify** : The solution everyone gives is "new account." I'm asking: **Can you share Google Music and purchases and NOT share Gmail?** |
21678 | Phone call quality suddenly choppy, even though signal is good | I have a Sprint HTC EVO 4G running the Fresh Gingerbread ROM. The call quality in my apartment has always been great. However, this week the call quality has been extremely choppy to the point of not being usable, no matter how I hold it. I haven't really done anything to the phone or my apartment, even though all its signal bars except one are full. If I remember correctly I still have good call quality at work, so I don't think its solely a phone issue... Any idea what's going on? |
46735 | Reregister device with Play Store | I was recently going through my list of devices on the web Play Store to remove an old device. While looking at the list, I saw that I had two entries for my Nexus 4: "LG Google Nexus 4" and "Nexus 4". As I installed CyanogenMod shortly after getting the phone, I wasn't surprised to see the second entry. I decided to delete the one called "LG Google Nexus 4" as it was registered when I first got the phone. Yesterday, I went to install an app to my phone using the web Play Store, but I no longer have any devices listed there. I tried reselecting the account to use in the Play Store app, and also wiped data for the app using TitaniumBackup and relogging into the Play Store app. Neither approach caused my device to be added back to the web Play Store device list. How can I readd my Nexus 4 to the devices attached to my account? |
21672 | How to check how much battery the data network is using? | How do I check how much battery the data network is using? When I enter `Settings->About phone->Battery usage` I get the following: * Voice calls * Android OS * Display * Android System * Dialer * Cell standby * Phone idle Which one is hiding the data-connection part? Is there a way to figure out how much the data connectivity was? I barely use Wi-Fi, but I'll be also happy to know where that is (if its separate from the connection through the cellular company). Using Android 2.3.5 on Galaxy S 2 I tried searching google, but it just gave me stuff about how to make the battery last longer, nothing about how to check that. |

I want to add a new entry in the option menu. I know that I have to use a flashable update zip for this but which files are required for this? Or is this not possible?

I had flashed the phone back to stock, and was attempting to install Clockworkmod recovery when I did this. I had specified a PIT file and a PDA file. The PIT file was probably a mistake.

58010 | Android 4.4 on Galaxy S I9000 stuck at boot with ART | I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy S-I9000 to Android 4.4 KitKat, It was successfully updated and KitKat worked fine until I decided to try using the ART RunTime instead of Dalvik. When I changed runtime to ART and rebooted the phone it never started up. I see the Samsung Galaxy S I9000 logo and then comes the running CyanogenMod circle which never stops. I let it work for more than four hours and it was not fixed. Note: Once when rebooted for changing runtime phone was powered off. Charged and resumed the process, the same result. I also tried installing cm11 update once again, no change. If there's a way I can fix this issue, I would be grateful to know how. Thanks in advance. UPDATE[FIX]: I wiped everything, Including Dalvik cache, partition cache and data, then tried installing the ROM, problem fixed. And screw ART for now, it needs some time to get stable and ready for everyday usage. I'll just stick with dalvik. I couldn't respond faster due to my noob account restrictions. |
38832 | SGN 4.2.1 - stuck at < waiting for device > | I own Samsung Galaxy Nexus, it has been unlocked, rooted, I'm using CWM Recovery Touch and a few weeks ago I updated firmware to `4.2.1` (build `JOP40D`). It seems that `Superuser` is no longer working on `4.2` versions and I must use `SuperSu` (so I installed it from the Play, but probably it's not at all). Problems: * can't start Recovery in fastboot mode, it shows something like `no command` on some error screen (but in my language). Before this screen it tries to boot or something (Google logo for a while). * can't do anything with ADB or Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, after reboot to the fastboot I stuck at `<waiting for device>` message. * can't update CWM Recovery from CWM Rom Manager, probably due to `su` problem. I haven't found any solution within discussions (useless as always), but everybody's asking about `adb devices`, so my output is: `0149A5310A021040 device` I can hack it with my Windows or Linux, but need some advice, thanks. |

17415 | Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus will not enter recovery mode | I have recently gotten a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus (Wifi only). I am attempting to boot it into recovery mode for the sake of rooting the device, but it is not working as anticipated. When I start the device by holding down power + vol down I see the warning screen that prompts me to press volume up to "continue", or volume down to "cancel (restart tablet)". When I press volume up, it goes to the Odin Mode screen, showing the green android robot, and the words "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!". It remains that way indefinately until I hold down the power button to turn it off. Kies is installed on my PC, and I have tried to reboot it into recovery both with it plugged in to the PC and without. If it is plugged in to the PC while it is stuck at "downloading", eventually a popup appears in Kies stating "Device not responding. To resolve the issue reboot the device." Does anyone see something I am doing wrong? Thank you very much for any help! |
13302 | Media volume issues | I've a Samsung Galaxy i551 with Android 2.2, not rooted and with stock rom. I'm having two volume issues (don't know if they have anything to do with each other): * When using the external speacker, not headphones, sometimes I have "normal" volume, but some other times even **max volume is _unhearable_**. I really NEED to put the phone near my ear (like if it was the headphone) to be able to hear it. I think, not sure yet, after reboot it turns back to normally, but I don't know what makes it fail again. * When I'm listening music with the headphones **some times the volume just changes**. It is really crazy, I don't touch any key or the screen, don't even touch the phone and the volume cahnge. I have already checked and it's not because of the audio file if anyone was thinking so. It is like if the phone has two different volumes and change between them whenever it wants. I've been reading a lot of issues with the volume, but haven't get any luck yet. Has anyone had any of this problems? Solutions? Thanks! Diego _Update_ : Now I'm rooted (in case someone has anything to offer that needs root). _Update_ : Assuming the up-voters are having the same problem, are you using the same phone or even another Samsung? _**Update_** : I've recently discovered that youtube app uses the speaker used on regular calls (the one on the same side of the screen). And its volume was actually very low. So when I'd that trouble again with some app (Navigation in this case) that should use the speaker (on the back of the phone) I realized that it was using the other speaker, and that's the problem. Who decides which speaker use each app or when is used each one? I e, my navigation app sometimes uses one and some other times uses the other.. Why?? Can we change it to force it? Please if someone understands this last paragraph it would be very helpful to edit it using the right terms that are unknown by me because english is not my native language and my phone isn't in english. Thanks! _**Extra info:_** I've a friend who have the same phone I had (the Samsung Galaxy i551) and is also having this same issues. Also the phone I had was stolen from me and now I bought a Samsung Galaxy Ace and again the same issues.

Firefox doesn't show in the list of possible shortcuts, nor do I see any option in Firefox to create one. Btw, I like Firefox, but I'm not ready to make it my default browser yet, so I really want to continue to use the stock Browser for everything but this one shortcut. I'm running Firefox 7.0.1 / Fennec 7.0.1 on Gingerbread 2.3.4 |
14824 | One purchased app stuck at "Starting download..." but others download fine | I purchased an app from the Android Marketplace and the download will not start. It is stuck at "Starting Download..." and none of the suggestions on the support site worked. **I can download other apps** just not the one I purchased. My credit card _was_ charged for this app -- it was charged twice in fact (I think that could be the issue maybe?) I emailed Google support, and they responded with the following: > * Cancel and restart the download(s) > * Reboot your device > * Sign in and out of Google Talk repeatedly to restore connection to our > servers: > > 1.

Their second response told me to **perform a factory reset**! Before I do something that drastic, what else can I try? **UPDATE:** I went ahead and did a factory reset and I still cannot download this app... any other suggestions? |
45288 | Sunspider : performance of 3rd party apps relative to stock browser | Hi my aim is to get an idea of the slowdown 3rd party apps face on android, relative to the stock browser, on the SunSpider JavaScript benchmarks. In this post I would like to focus on Twitter since it is available on both iPhone and android. As everyone is aware there are restrictions on iOS which means that 3rd party apps perform significantly slower on JavaScript functionality relative to Safari (the stock browser on iPhone). I have an iPhone 4S with iOS 6.1.3. When I run the benchmark SunSpider 1.0 JavaScript Benchmark (see lower down for how I run SunSpider inside Twitter) then I get the following : > Safari : 1833ms +/- 1.3% > Twitter : 6900.1ms +/- 0.3% (Chrome browser etc also perform around this > time). Therefore I see a slowdown of 6900.1/1833 = 3.7 times. **What sort of slowdown do people get on Android (when comparing Twitter to the stock android browser)?** Note I run sunspider inside twitter by doing a search for "sunspider h". Then the 5th result from the top is : > "The H - News > JavaScript benchmark Sunspider reaches version 1.0..." I click the hyperlink and then in the resulting webpage scroll down to the hyperlink in the line : "The new version of Sunspider is available to use...". In this way I run sunspider from within Twitter. |

20108 | No access to Android Market after loading Ice Cream Sandwich | I followed the instructions on the source.android.com website to download, build, and install Android OS v4.0.3 on a Nexus S. Everything seemed fine, I could take pictures, access WiFi to surf the web, etc. The problem is that there is no Market app and I have been unable to install anything via the Market over the web. The apps I had on the phone prior to loading ICS all show as "installed" on the website but they will not sync with the device. Any time I try to install a new app, everything seems to go ok and then it says the download will begin shortly but it never does. I have tried many different things described on posts such as resetting to factory defaults, clearing cache, etc but nothing works. Does anyone know how I can load the Market app or somehow download apps from the Market to manually install? |

45285 | Disable splashscreen - BOOTLOGO disabled | First off all I must start by saying that I am not an Android Expert. I Have some android TV box ( not a phone ) which is of some unknown third party chinese vendor . it is already rooted . I need to personalize it as much as I can, and I have already made the wallpapers, launcher, and bootanimation The only thing I have left (and the most annoying one ) is the splash screen. Now, I have read a lot of posts / articles about it , and I even made a rgb656 .img file, but the whole process is very complicated ( and potentially dangerous ). So now all i want is to totally disable it . I opened `init.ec` and there I saw : ... export LD_LIBRARY_PATH /vendor/lib:system/lib export ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 1 export ANDROID_ROOT /system .... So I wonder , does changing the `ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 1` to `ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 0` will disable the splashscreen ? Is there any other easy way of doing it ? Any advice ? (If you can avoid answers like "try and see" - I am afraid to brick it .. |

Setting _Menu_ -> _Settings_ -> _Privacy Settings_ -> _Remember form data_ and _Menu_ -> _Settings_ -> _Security settings_ -> _Remember passwords_ in the browser has no effect.

41054 | Battery getting charged with ultra speed and continuous at 1%charge for more than 9 hrs | My neo v battery getting charged with in ten min from 0 to 100 percentage( Exponential growth graph ) with ultra speed and getting discharged to 1%( it also give alert showing last 1% left, keep charging) with in 3 or 4 hrs. The last 1% charging is left for 9 to 10 hrs even then its not getting switched off.. Again i started to keep charging , charging process is started but Charging percentage shown 1% for the first 5 to 8 min. Later i removed my battery from neo v and kept again.. later after switching it on , it showed 46% already charged.. Again i kept charging , remaining 54 percent charged with in 10 min.. If we think there is a problem with battery.. The last 1% should not come for 9 to 10 hrs... and should not become 100% within 10 min.. And I also checked with one of my friend Neo V replacing my battery in thier mobile.. it worked normally and shown correct percentage of charging left Similarly i kept their battery which is of 46% charge left in my mobile.. then it showed a decrease of 1% for every 1min.. But when i placed my friend battery in his mobile.. it showing 46% as it is which was earlier seen. So surely there is no problem with battery. According to me the issue is with the battery indicator which is misleading me.. As it showing wrong percentages. I read some of the blogs related to this issue.. Battery indicator is not a hardware related thing.. its a back ground service that is technically always running but is essentially always sleeping and using basically no system resources (because it doesn't do any polling -- it just sleeps and waits to be notified by the OS when something changes), then when the battery charge (or plugged-in status) changes, the system wakes it up and tells it what the new battery charge (and status) is. Then it takes just a few milliseconds to change its icon to reflect the current charge (and status) and goes back to sleep. So i think there is no hardware issue.. I also did software repair from sony pc companion.. But there is no change.. I am facing this issue for the first time from yesterday morning .. Can u pls say what's happening to my battery.. And I bought this mobile last year March 4th 2012 from "The Mobile Store".. 1 year completed.. I have extended warranty of 1 year. Is it a software problem or Hardware problem. Is there any solution for this? |

In Sony and HTC phones this problem doesn't exist they've got great versatality in supporting diffrent languages. |
59768 | Will flashing a custom fix lag on my Android? | I have a 1 GB RAM tablet running a pretty much vanilla Android Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and it's been running very slow. Apps startup time have been slow, noticeable lag exists while scrolling between the home screens, and apps crash sometimes. Browsing on the Internet has scroll lag and I have many more problems. I know that 1GB of RAM is more than enough to run Jelly Bean smoothly without any lag. How will rooting my device or flashing any custom ROMs help?

That option will cause all photos and videos to be automatically uploaded to a Google Plus event during the event. However, I noticed that the party mode kept turning itself off for no reason. The party was for a couple days, but the party mode would only stay on for a few photos or a few hours. I kept having to go in and enable party mode every so often when I noticed it had turned off, and uploading any photos manually that were taken when it was disabled. Does anyone know if there is a way to keep party mode enabled for a long period of time? Does this sound like a bug, or is there some feature I'm missing? |
44480 | A way to get the current resolution size and DPI from the command line/terminal/adb? | I've got `adb` access to my android phone. So I know that I can override screen density and screen resolution with the `am` command provided with Android. That's great and dandy, I guess. But is there a way to grab those two numbers from the command line? I know the `pm` utility can do some information gathering, most notably `pm list features` to see if the Android device has wireless, bluetooth, gps, etc. `pm` doesn't seem to do much more information reporting than this, though. It would be helpful to know what versions of Android that the command is supported for. Ideally I would like something that works on Android 2.2+ (Froyo), but taking something that only works from 4.0.3+ (Ice Cream Sandwich) is fine too. I would also like it if there was a way to figure this out without root access. I know that it's possible to get the screen resolution and density programmatically, as described in this question. |
44483 | How to mount a remote FTP share as local folder/directory? | I would like to mount a remote FTP share as local directory (or drive) on Cyanogenmod and be able to access it like it was a regular folder and browse files on it.

The folder need to be browsable by any application afterwards. Can anyone suggest a solution? Thank you in advance |
44485 | How can I print web pages from my Android to a wireless Printer? | There is a system I log into online that generates web pages for a printing. This works great on the PC using Chrome, Firefox and IE. I would like a way to print these web pages from the tablet (Galaxy 2, Android 4). Unfortunately, these web pages I am referring to require me to be logged in. Many print apps I have found simply re-visit the URL without using my login credentials. That will not work for me. The best solution I have found was to use Firefox's save PDF feature, then open the PDF with the Cloud Print app, which would then print to my PC or one of the Google Cloud ready printers. Ideally it would connect using WiFi or Bluetooth, but the Cloud Print over Internet idea is good enough for now. * Unfortunately it takes 7 clicks at this point (menu -> tools -> save pdf -> open status bar -> open the pdf (at this point Cloud Print is set as default) -> click print (with default printer) -> click back to go back) * Not to mention, there will be many pdf files just sitting on the phone that should eventually be cleaned up. Can you recommend a better solution? |

29700 | Make screen lock after call if it was locked before? | I think that I had this feature in my Galaxy S way back in the 2.1-2.2 era, but now I can't figure it out on my Galaxy Nexus (takju, 4.1.1). What I'm looking for is this: if I have the phone locked in my pocket and I receive a call, after I finish it, I'd expect to be able to return the phone to my pocket with no extra hassle. However, after the call I'm thrown into the recent calls list and have to `back` my way out from the app and lock the screen. And despite the oh-so-buttery experience of Jelly Bean, this usually means frantic `back`-tapping, waiting for the phone to exit to the launcher and annoyed grunts, or - if I have an app open under the lock screen - accidentally closing said program, reopening it, browsing to the wanted section and, well, annoyed grunts. This is by no means a difficult task, but it's annoying as I have to do it **every time.** Oh yeah, another thing: if I call someone and the line is busy or he/she rejects my call, the **screen locks**. Doesn't matter what state the phone is, you'll be thrown into the lock screen. Why? Why can't this happen after received calls? I apologise for the ranty (is that an adjective?) tone, TGIF. |

I doubt the one who repaired a phone changed display IC of other phone, that's why the brightness control is not working. So, is there any alternative way to control the brightness in android phone ? Whatever app so far I have installed regarding brightness control seems to do the same thing what system brightness control does. So, nothing worked for me. |
54221 | Mount point information for Motorola XT925? (partial fix) | I seem to have messed up my mounting partitions while trying to deodex Stock JB Central Europe. I basically used xultimate to pull the files and deodex then tried using adb shell to mount the system partition and copy them over. After I rebooted the phone, it would get stuck on unlocked bootloader warning or on the motorola logo. I hard reset into recovery and restored a nandroid backup and once booted into android found so many folders under the Storage folder such as `asec`, `obb`, `rfs0` and so on. Now, when I try to wipe dalvik-cache in recovery, I get the following error: `E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]`. Also, when I try flashing custom rom's and reboot, it gets stuck on the unlocked bootloader warning and wont load – while in recovery after flashing, i also get another error something like this: `E: cant load /cache/recovery.log` or similar. I also sometimes have issues mounting `/system`, `/cache` partitions, data and internal storage, all depending on which custom recovery I am using. I read on another site that downgrading to ICS might solve mounting problems so I forced a downgrade to ICS but that didn't work either and I am still on ICS. Is there a way to restore the partitions correctly or are they stuck this way? Would mounting and remounting solve this problem? Any help would be much appreciated and would very much appreciate it if someone could upload their mount point info so I could use to try and fix it. EDIT: I have now managed to successfully flash a custom ROM using OUDHS Recovery without wiping the 'cache' or 'dalvik-cache' at first. After first reboot, phone would hang on the boot logo so I reboot into recovery and wiped both 'cache' and 'dalvik-cache' and it worked. Now, I still don't have an '/sd-ext' and some apps can't find the external storage to backup or download to. In addition, still have the additional folders showing '/mnt' folder. Would appreciate some advice on where to begin in order to restore the mount/unmount points correctly, if at all possible. |

1113 | Is Appbucket a legal app store? | I just found an Android web store called AppBucket. When you pay a subscription, you can download non-free software from their service. The site doesn't really explain what kind of deals they have with the developers of these non-free apps, but I guess they buy software once and then sell it to all their subscribers, which seem a bit illegal. What do you think? It is very tempting to subscribe to this service, as my Android market in my country has just free apps available. But I don't want to break the law! |
28077 | Bricked my Asus TF300T? Manual JB update | First, my device failed to get the OTA Update **because I deleted some system apps** (see my original post). Then I found this post where another user restored original APKs in /system/apps and managed to **manually update to JB** by downloading the dlpkgfile in this post. So I proceed, **restored** my /system/apps (with 755 permissions), **rooted** with OTA RootKeeper and SuperSU, placed the **dlpkgfile** and **command** files, restarted to fastboot ( **Power+Vol Down** ) and entered Recovery mode. The green android with the **blue progress bar** went for over 10 minutes, then ... the android with the **RED TRIANGLE** appeared After a minute or so the device restarted, an ASUS logo with a blue progress bar ran, but then it got **stuck in the ASUS logo**.

Thanks! **UPDATE!!!** OK, I found this tutorial about flashing ASUS firmware with fastboot: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to...back-to-stock/ The problem is that the following commands: fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip both produce the error: "Signature mismatch" I guess it's because my fastboot has newer version, since it was actually installed during the JB update, but I'm trying to flash a older .30 firmware. I guess I will have to wait ASUS releases the new firmware for manual flashing it. Just guessing... * * * **More info here** : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846661 |

To narrow down the problem just a little bit, appropriate solutions would meet the following criteria: * Can be applied to a stock ICS ROM without replacing huge pieces of the stack (e.g., it would not be acceptable to replace Bionic with glibc and the Android graphics stack with Xorg) * Requiring root access is anticipated/fine * Modifying/recompiling the kernel is fine * Modifying userspace utilities is fine * Modifying configuration settings is fine (preferred, actually) * Should, at a minimum, affect bufferbloat for data coming from the cellular baseband; i.e., 3G or 4G data. Affecting bufferbloat on the wifi/ethernet/bluetooth links is praiseworthy, but _is not what I am looking for_. A few things that I don't think would be practical: * Upgrading the kernel to a new mainline version (so ideally any kernel modifications should be applicable to the 3.0.x series). This is impractical because all the proprietary blobs and hardware-specific drivers for your phone are probably not portable to a new kernel series, so you would be sacrificing major pieces of functionality (wifi, graphics, cellular baseband) for the sake of bufferbloat. Not cool. * Patching/modifying the firmware in the cellular baseband. While I'm sure the baseband for most devices carries an unhealthy amount of bufferbloat, addressing the problem within that IC will most likely require the voluntary cooperation of carriers, baseband manufacturers (e.g. Qualcomm) and hardware manufacturers (e.g. Motorola). Any appropriate solution to this problem should be _testable_ and the results should be _reproducible_. The ideal test would be something similar to what Wikipedia's article on Bufferbloat describes (linked above). Your solution should show a consistent, measurable decrease in the latency of the ICMP pings on the saturated (full buffers) 3G/4G link. |
26503 | Bluetooth file transfers from Sony Arc S always get interrupted | I am not able to transfer files completely over Bluetooth because the the transfers keep getting interrupted. My phone model is a Sony Arc S LT8i. I tried to send a 700 kb image file to my Mac and it started to transfer but got interrupted when 90% of it was transferred. Similarly, I tried to send the same file to a Samsung Galaxy Ace phone and it sent 99% of the file when it got interrupted, at which point the receving phone (Ace) showed a message stating "Remote device disconnected". How can I fix this? |
26507 | Stop sideway movement of menu revealed from top | On my Galaxy S3, when I slide my finger from the top edge of the screen down, a sort of quick menu is revealed to switch WiFi, GPS, sound... When it is revealed, the animation goes from top to bottom but also slides sideways. I would like to stop this sideways animation, but I don't even know how this menu is called to Google it and I found no setting for it so far. |
