65635 | list phone numbers by date added, other attributes | Is there a way to list phone numbers and contacts by date added, perhaps even location they were added in like if you travel alot and meet people along the way? Seems like a fairly simple feature in the age of relational databases I'm willing to consider third party apps that do this too |
65634 | Synchronize Gmail but not contacts | I have a phone with Android 4.2.2. I want to sync my mails but not my contacts. The problem is that it seems to be joined in my phone. When I go to `Settings > Account > Google` I can activate synchronisation but not choose which one. Does anyone knows how to do this or an app that allows this? |
69931 | How to reinstall google play store app in jellybean? | I have telus samsung galaxy s2x with android jellybean 4.1.2 (non rooted). When going on play store I got an error about authentication needed. So I did uninstall updates from application manager (as described in this answer). Now the play store app got replaced with `com.android.vending`, which is like the old "market" app. That app seems to crash frequently. How can I restore the new play store app again? |

81463 | Samsung S4 Active turning itself off | I hope this is the right place to ask this question. I'm using a Samsung S4 Active with stock Samsung-branded Android. Since I updated the OS from `4.2.2` to `4.4.2` my phone is sometimes turning itself off, trying to restart and failing, trying again. Maybe around 3 times until nothing is happening anymore. The only way I can restart the phone is, that I connect it to power. Furthermore I feel that it only happens when my battery is lower than 60% - but still way higher than 0%! I updated the phone via the Samsung-thingy which keeps popping up. So nothing external... I factory-resetted my phone because I thought it might solve the problem - but unfortunately it didn't. Any ideas what could be the solution for my problem? I googled quite a lot but couldn't come up with a hint... Thanks, Ron |
69939 | Encrypted Android phone - sharing files | I am using Sony Xperia M with Android version 4.3 (Jelly bean) with official update. Android allows me to encrypt my files.

43259 | How do I view/mount nandroid file on device? | From Android's terminal, I tried to mount a nandroid img: losetup -f gives "/dev/loop0". However, when I try `losetup /dev/loop0 /sdcard/nandroid/... data.img` it says no such directory. Same thing when I try to mount the file. According to this it should be doable, but it seems there must be some trick to mounting it in Android? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_device |
43254 | How does NFC Task Launcher toggle Power Saving and how can I get Tasker to do it? | So I've noticed that NFC Task Launcher can toggle the Power Saving mode for the Galaxy s3. Obviously then, this is not a secure setting that requires root access (eg. turning GPS on / off). So is it possible to automate this (the turning on and off of power saving mode) in Tasker (without rooting my phone)? I've tried to use the Load App functionality but the most I can do is open up the Power Saving control panel. I'm thinking the toggle is most likely an Intent that NFC Task launcher is calling but I don't know what the intent is as I can't seem to find any documentation about Samsung specific system functionality. My objective is to create a tasker profile which toggles Power Saving mode when I turn the screen on and off, instead of using NFC to trigger this event. |
13716 | Audible difference in bluetooth A2DP sound quality - how change A2DP settings? | After moving from Symbian to Android, I noticed an audible* drop in audio quality when listening to music via bluetooth (A2DP). I woudn't say the quality is _poor_ , but bad enough for me to investigate the issue. While it probably is audible all the time in some way, it's not easy to pinpoint - I can only notice the difference in some music passages. Unfortunately it's usually most audible in the passages with most impact, where it also bothers the most. As audio quality issues are notoriously subjective, I did wonder whether I'm just imagining the effect or not. Turns out, I'm not - I haven't done any blind testing or anything, but comparing the same file A2DP streamed from my computer to the one streamed from Android (and for control doing the same comparison with wire-plugged headphones) it's easy to spot the difference. Doing a bit of research into the issue, it seems A2DP can be used to stream audio into bluetooth receiver with multiple different codecs and setting. As far as I've understood the discussions related to this, it looks like this could be either caused because Android is using SBC codec instead of MP3 or because it fails to use high enough bitpool setting. There seem to be multiple reports of this problem around the net. So my question is: **How do I fix the sound quality?** **Is it possible to change A2DP settings to get bluetooth audio quality matching that of Symbian and my laptop?** My Android device is GT-S5570 running 2.2.1. _* - I don't consider myself an audiophile, and I don't spend money of pro audio gear. This isn't something that's hearable only in perfect conditions at a sound analysis studio - I hear it using the cheapest stereo bluetooth headset I could find (BH-505 at 50€)._ |
81655 | How to transfer a Clash of Clans Village into an old Android device without Google Play services? | I can't install Google Play services on my old device. I tried a lot, but I can't.

52287 | Run/Download Android Apps on a PC (Windows) | I tried running android 4.1.1 in virtualbox, but it was to slow and sluggish to do anything. I came across Windroy which runs Android as a windows app. I found a google play apk but it won't run when I try to run it. Before I sold my tablet I used it to develop some apps, and now that I got a new laptop I want to continue developing those apps, and testing them on Android. I spent $10 on AIDE because there wasn't anyway I could submit my apps to Google Play on a Android as that's all I had at the time. When I buy something I expect to use it, and I'd like to use it on my laptop. So does anyone know of a way where I can download apk files on my pc? After it's downloaded I can move it to `C:\Windroy\windroy_root\system\app` so I can use it with Windroy. Therefore I'll be able to continue working and testing my apps. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
81793 | What ROM could be used on an HTC Desire bravo with non-functioning physical buttons | I have a HTC Desire (bravo). Currently I use it with the old Oxygene ROM. Basically It's fine, but the physical buttons (menu, back, home) are very hard to press. Sometimes it takes more than 5 hard presses until it reacts. There might be other ways to fix it (maybe fixing the buttons or just cleaning them?) but being a software engineer I thought that I might be able to find a ROM that can be used without those 3 physical buttons (just like the newer phones usually don't even have those physical buttons) What ROM-s are worth to look at? |
81790 | Provision/Availability of Android Updates | My Nexus 7 receives Android updates directly from Google, regardless of the cellular service provider of the SIM card in the device. My Galaxy S3, with a SIM card in it, receives updates when my cellular service provider releases them. I have a Galaxy Note, running Android 4.3, without a SIM card in it. Where/when will it receive updates? I did recently insert a SIM card into the Note. Will the device now receive updates according to the timetable of the SIM service provider? |

51882 | Media scanner ignores .nomedia on external sd card | I have my music on the external SD card on my phone, and use FolderSync to automatically sync podcast files to the same SD card from my computer. There are .nomedia files in the podcast folders (they are synced from the computer), but not in the music folders. When I start SongBird, both music and podcast files show up. Why? What can I do to fix it? If I wipe the media cache, SongBird shows no music and no podcasts. When I run rescan, it only says "Scanning /storage/sdcard0" (internal SD) but afterwards the media files on the external card (/storage/sdcard1) show up in SongBird. I use DoggCatcher with virtual feeds (watched folders) to listen to podcasts. Phone: Samsung GT-i9000 running CyanogenMod 10.1.2-galaxysmtd |

69407 | How to fix "unfortunately , the process com.android.systemui has stopped" error? | Recently, I flash `cm-11-20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-maguro.zip` to my Galaxy Nexus GSM. And I flash PA gapps. And after that, I used Titanium backup to restore all my applications. However, I met this `unfortunately , the process com.android.systemui has stopped` error sometimes. How can I fix it without doing a factory reset. PS. If I enter the recovery and clear cache, it will be OK. However it is too annoying to do it each time. Is there other way to fix it.

46025 | Services Google Play and Shop Google Play why both? | Why I do I have to have both **Services Google Play** and also **Shop Google Play** applications on my phone? They take quite a lot of memory space, which is quite small on my **ZTE SKATE**. I have an SD card with about 6GB space, but I can't move these over there. And when I try to delete Services Google Play it downloads on its own when I go to Shop. Why is Google doing this? When I got my phone I had only Google Shop there. Now this. I'm running out of space and there aren't any other apps that take a lot of space like this and I could delete/uninstall them. Can anyone tell me what exactly is the difference between these two apps and why I need to have them both installed? And if I don't need them, how can I get rid of one of them so I have more space? |
46027 | LG Optimus L5 e610 randomly reboots | I have got the phone of my sister in law. It is a LG Optimus L5 e610. While trying to flash CM it has been bricked. It is constantly rebooting after media scanning. It reboots even in the bootloader (CWM 6.2.8). The bootlaoder shows that the sdcard can't be mounted. The time the phone stays in android is to short to use adb. The phone has been rooted using this guide. This guide has been used to flash CWM. Well hence I can neither use adb to replace anything in the filesystem nor use the recovery to install a zip. Is there any way to get this phone back working? |
64270 | LUKS Manager mounts directories as root on CyanogenMod 10.2 | I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 running CyanogenMod 10.2 and I am using LUKS Manager to mount an encrypted volume. However, I can only access my volume from the X-plore file manager with root access enabled. Issuing `ll` from the command line reveals the directory gets mounted as root. I am hesitant about switching from CyanogenMod's own superuser app to Superuser or SuperSU, I can't shake the feeling that it's going to cause trouble. How can I get LUKS Manager to mount volumes as a regular user or with the ability to read the files from apps that do not use root access? |
45598 | Is there any old style keyboard (numpad style) available for Android? | I have a smaller screen Android Phone (LG Optimus One P500). **Does anyone know whether there is a keyboard available for Android phones that has an "old phone" style?** Like a numpad style? Here's an image example:  The reason I'm asking for this style of keyboard is: 1. This style uses only 12 buttons. So the buttons are large and very spaced out. You can click on them easily without having to strain your eyes too much. 2. You can quickly keep clicking away without having to spell out each word because the dictionary will take care of that. So "moon" becomes 4 clicks on the numpad 6. How fast is that? I sure personally feel that lots of people are used to this kind of keyboard layout (from the times before Android became so popular). I don't understand why I can't find keyboards with this kind of a simple layout but I would be very grateful if someone could help me find an app like this. **Edit:** Forgot to mention. I'm not looking for paid apps right now but would consider it if they have a trial. |

48347 | Keyboard on Android phone disappears after starting VNC server, and reappears only after restart | As the title says, I want to remote control my Android phone (LG-F160K) using a VNC server. I tried `droid VNC server` and `VNC server`. I can connect to my Android phone, but after connection is made, the original keyboard (I am using Google Chinese IME keyboard) is gone and replaced with a single row with a few buttons. The keyboard cannot be restored after I close the server, and it restores only after I restart the machine. Considering that as a nuisance, I wonder if there is anyway to restore the keyboard automatically after closing the VNC server? |
45597 | Get list of filenames via Tasker | I'm using Tasker and have a step of List Files. I grab that result and stuff it into %files. I then go into a For loop reading %files and under items %files(). However, this is giving me the full path to the files such as /storage/emulated/0/Tasker. All I'd really like is the file name. Is there a step I can do before I enter this loop to truncate the variable results? Goal would be to just get a list of file names and not the full path. Thanks. If this should be moved over to stack overflow please let me know. |

16873 | Market on phone showing different prices to web browser? | Has anyone experienced this weird problem with the Android Market when accessing on the phone. Firstly, I'm in Australia, so expect prices for apps to be shown in AUD, but when I first open the Market on my phone... * The 'featured' listing prices are in pounds. * When viewing say the 'games' list, a search list or drilled down to a specific app, prices are in AUD (but some with incorrect amounts) * When going "directly" to an app (eg. search 'Doodle Jump') price is listed as 99c (even though on the web-market it shows 10c) * Instead of doing a search, if I browse through the game-list and then going into 'Doodle Jump' it shows as 10c... I've cleared market cache and forced stopped it... still see the same problems :S ps. Android Market on the web works fine for me, but just a bit puzzled by the on the phone behaviour. pps. price of 10c is from the 10 billion apps promotion thing Google has going on. |
16872 | Connect camera to the Android phone via cable | When travelling I usually bring my camera for pictures and my Android phone for communication. Camera is better than the phone for pictures, since it works faster and has better quality sensor. But what if I want to send fresh pictures to someone? Then I need to transfer the files from the camera to my phone in some way. Since the camera doesn't have any wireless connection, the only way is to connect it to the phone is via cable. I can of course purchase a micro-SD card and put it into an adapter to fit into my mini-SD slot in the camera and then put it without adapter into the phone. However, I would rather avoid this as exchanging micro-SD on my phone is not easy and requires me to open the case that is kept together with some fragile pieces of plastic. If I do this too often, it will break soon. |

59878 | Keyboard keeps crashing in Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 | I am running Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 on my Samsung Galaxy SII (GT-I9100), and starting yesterday my keyboard continuously crashes with the following message: > Unfortunately, Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped. This message pops up very 10 seconds or so even when I am not trying to type.

59874 | Can I configure my device or computer to stop trying to install software when I connect them? | When I plug my HTC ONE into my computer via a USB cable, it always wants to try and install a bunch of random things on my computer that I really don't want nor need. Just plugging it in with the current drivers installed, it shows up fine in my Portable Devices list on Windows 7, as seen here:  Even with it working _perfectly fine_ already, it still insists on installing other stuff. It wouldn't let me capture a screenshot of the User Account Control dialog: > **Do you want to allow the following program to make > changes to this computer?** > > Program name: TL-Boots Application > Verified published: **HTC Corp.** > File origin: CD/DVD drive **Is there any way I can configure either my phone or computer to stop trying to install all this crap ever time I plug my phone into the computer?** It's really annoying always having to click No on that popup every time I plug it in. I really don't want all their excess software that I'll never use on my computer. I can't seem to find anything in the USB settings that mentions auto-installation. Last time I installed this junk it made my simple storage access through My Computer stop working (my phone stopped showing up in the list when connected). That's literally the only feature I even use, so that was rather inconvenient. |
59873 | Cracked screen 4 months ago, now Black screen | I have **Samsung Galaxy S3**. Fractured the screen 4 months ago, camera worked intermittently for about a month, then failed, but phone essentially worked, so I ignored it. Now I have dreaded BLACK screen, after drunken bike ride. Don't know if knocked it around. No functionality, but phone is still working I think. Can't tell if I am negotiating the security screen, but phone powers up, and vibrates with incoming texts and calls. Can't call out, lucky if I can swipe correctly to answer, and certainly can't text out or see texts that have been received. Back button on bottom right, and menu button bottom left come on, but are not responsive. Also, indicator light comes on for charging/on status. But screen proper is totally black, no way to use phone, apps, etc. My questions are: 1. I would like to back everything up right now, including contact list, pics, downloads, attachments, etc. Can I do that with a black screen? Connecting to PC? I tried, but I couldn't swipe screen properly, so PC didn't recognize the phone as camera vs storage drive or whatever. 2. The FIX. I think I need a new glass screen, and lcd screen (digitizer?). Is it possible to do myself? Cost? From ebay? Or send of to a pro? Or just get new phone? Frustrated! The get you addicted to this modern tech, and I don't even know/remember the numbers of my brothers and Mom! |
45044 | Updating apps in multi-user environment? | When you have multiple users, you have a different app collection for each one. However, it seems there's some intelligence to installing apps from the play store, in that the same app is only installed once, and the multiple users only gain access to that same app. When you update an app, does the app also get updated for every user using that app? Does every user have the access to update those shared apps? How does this work with apps installed manually from .apk files, or by some other app store system? |

And, it seems on a non-rooted device, when the phone boots up, we are logged in as a non-root user. Where does Android control the log-in user's privilege level? Is it in the `init` process? |

63138 | Android music pauses when using headphones | This started happening a few days ago but my phone stopped to play music (pausing) on headphones when I: 1. Screen off 2. Notification menu is pulled down 3. Opening all applications on the default stock launcher Music plays only if the music app is in foreground or if I went to the launcher and not selected anything. I am using custom rom but it stopped working on it after using it for over a month. I tried to update the rom to a newer one but it still doesn't work. Music plays fine when not using headphones and just using the speakers.

21740 | App optimization on every reboot? | I received the official OTA Google update to Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 on my HTC Sensation. Every time now when I reboot the device, the system displays a notice stating that it is optimizing the installed apps. This should be just on the first reboot after the update and not every time? |
21746 | Phone memory full and it shouldn't be | I have a weird problem with my android phone: for some reason, I'm getting a 'Low phone memory' error message, and before getting the message the phone was slow and unresponsive. I have 2 GB internal storage; in the app manager, it says 1.2Gb used, 27Mb free. Where did the rest of the space go? I noticed this slowdown after installing an app (QR droid) from that Play Market (or whatever name it has now). When I first saw the error message, I had like 100 mb free in the app manager, and each time I reopened it the space was decreasing. The phone is a Motorola Defy, rooted and using Miui, android version is Gingerbread. So how can I fix this issue? |
21745 | Galaxy S firmware before Value Pack | Can someone tell me which was the previous version of Galaxy S firmware before the current/latest Value Pack (XXJV4)? I am considering to downgrade, but I am not sure about version/code of that. Thanks! |
21744 | Where are drafts saved in gmail android app? | I wrote an email in gmail android app and saved as draft. Then I accidentally pressed send, although I have no connection (roaming).

63133 | Can't flash ClockwordMod onto Verizon GS4 | I just got a warrentied Galaxy S4 (running VRUEMK2) and am trying to install ClockwordMod and CyanogenMod onto it like I had on my previous GS4. I rooted it, installed ROM Manager, and flashed ClockWorkMod Touch 6.0.4.4, and ROM Manager shows that it is in fact installed (top of the app shows current recovery as ClockworkMod 6.0.4.4). Problem is, when I reboot into recovery, I still see the stock Samsung boot loader. I think this is the root cause that is preventing me from being able to install CyanogenMod. Tried installing it manually as well through here, but didn't do anything. Any ideas? I've scoured most threads on multiple message boards and still haven't figured out what the issue is. |
49699 | Why has my Android become half-rooted? | I had rooted my Samsung Galaxy S 4G, and for some reason it seems to be only partially rooted now. What I mean by this is that while SuperUser is installed, apps such as BusyBox and Titanium Backup are complaining that they cannot get root access. Using apps from the Google Play store, I can neither remove the root or re-root the device. I cannot get to the Recovery menu because the key combinations done at startup just end up rebooting my device. Why is this happening and what can I do to fix it? Resetting the phone to factory settings does nothing. Despite all this, AVG Antivirus is complaining that my device is rooted. So, what's up with that? |

62841 | How to use adb to back up more than 2GB? | I'm trying to back up my Nexus 7 before installing a new factory image. (There is an issue preventing OTA update from succeeding.) But when I run ` adb backup -f android-nosystem-backup.ab -apk -shared -all -nosystem ` the backup gets stuck after writing 2147483647 bytes. This number is 2^31 minus 1, and I recognize the problem as a lack of Large File Support somewhere. I'm running the `adb` that ships with my current Debian Linux distro "Jessie." The problem occurs whether I try to back up to a local file or to a remote NFS-mounted file server, so I suspect that something in the `adb` toolchain has been compiled without Large File Support. The Nexus 7 reports total storage in use of 4.2GB, so I'm expecting a backup file on that order of size. Is there some workaround I should be using? Is there a way to split the backup into pieces? |
62845 | How do I connect my tablet to my tv? | I broke my Coby Kyros' screen and now I want to make an emulator console out of it. The problem is my model did not have an HDMI out. I noticed that there is a ribbon cable connecting the tablet screen to the rest of the tablet. So I need a way to connect my tablet's ribbon cable to a television. Is there any way to convert that ribbon cable slot to a VGA/HDMI/RCA port? Or is there some sort of ribbon cable to VGA/HDMI/RCA cable? |
62844 | Daydream goes to standby when touched | My Nexus 4 runs Android 4.4 and is set to use the standard "clock" daydream while charging. It has no screen lock. This works fine so far. Expected: I would expect the screen to **wake up when I touch the daydreaming screen.** Problem: **Sometimes the screen turns off** when I touch it, rather than waking up. Symptoms: There might be a time element because this seems to happen when I have not touched the phone for many minutes, but it seems to work OK if it had only been daydreaming a few minutes. AC or USB charging does not seem to make any difference. -> Why does the screen turn off instead of waking up, and how can I "fix" that? |

8962 | About how long will my touchscreen last before it starts to lose sensitivity? | I've read on various posts on the net that touchscreens lose sensitivity over time, but I have not found any detailed information about why and how I can prevent this.

21375 | Disable screen compatibility mode as a user | My phone (HTC Sensation) has recently been updated updated to Android 4. An app that I already had installed now expands to fill the whole screen but looks very pixelated. Is it possible to disable the auto screen resize for this application? Looking at the SDK docs (http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screen- compat-mode.html), the developer of the app can disable it in the manifest file, but as that's not me I'm wondering how I can do it as a user of the app? Any ideas? |
8967 | Should the phone be fully charged before flashing a rom? | In posts like this, and from other sources, I have heard that the handset should be fully charged before flashing or installing a customer ROM. I assume this is because the calibration for the battery is kept somewhere within the ROM, but I don't know for sure. Is this really necessary? |
8966 | Do I need to revert to stock firmware and/or wipe data before installing a custom ROM? | Several sites I've visited mention that I need to revert to the stock firmware and possibly wipe my phone data before installing a custom ROM. Is this recommended or completely necessary? I have a Samsung Captivate (Galaxy-S), running Froyo 2.2 (installed via Kies). My phone is rooted. In case it matters, I have Windows XP. |
26919 | Why did my phone lose the ringtone configuration? | I've assigned a default ringtone and one other ringtone to my wife. She called me two days ago and the phone played the Galaxy SII ringtone. Next day, somebody else called me, and the same happened. So, I assigned the ringtones again, but I was wondering if this happens often, does it happen to others, is there a reason it happened to me (did I do something wrong)... Probably it's a bug. Last night, the OS updated itself, and the ringtones were not affected. |
26911 | Periodic Nexus 7 touch responsiveness issue | Occasionally my Nexus 7 will exhibit poor touch responsiveness. This manifests as a need to drag my finger for an inch or so before scrolling happens, and a need for a firm touch in order to register a tap, and even then it's sporadic. I'm trying to determine if this is software or hardware. My guess is software: exiting the current app sometimes seems to resolve the issue. Putting it to sleep and re-awakening it often seems to resolve it. This happens maybe once every day or two, and only tends to last for a few minutes when it happens. (I'm still uncertain if things I do fix it or if it abates on its own...) As this is my first Android device, I don't have anything to compare it to. Has anybody else experienced this? Any good techniques to determine if it's hardware or software? _EDIT 30-OCT-2012:_ I haven't experienced the problem since upgrading to 4.1.2, so I'm inclined to think it was a software problem that's been fixed. |
49968 | Facebook and Office suite preinstalled on new Gingerbread device? | I just bought a Gingerbread phone and I was surprised to find Facebook and Office Suite already installed.

I apologize if this seems a stupid question. |

67720 | Updating to CM11 - (Status 7) Installation aborted (i9300) | I'm trying to install CM11 onto my Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300) so I can have the new Google Camera and Chrome Remote Desktop apps. I tried to install initially via the usual update menu, but got an error and it went to ClockworkRecovery Mod. After much messing around, I downloaded this zip and put it onto an SD card and tried to install it using CWM but I get the following error: > Error in cm-11-2014005-SNAPSHOT-M5-i9300.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted Any ideas please? It sucks being without a phone, and I don't want to wipe everything and start again if I can help it since I'm pretty sure I have things on there that aren't backed up (that'll be my first job when I get this working again!)

44318 | Repeating Tasks | How do I create a repeating task in Jorte? I don't want to create a repeating event - just a repeating task. For example, say I want to create a task "Grade papers" that will happen once a week. It's not an event. It's a task. |
24213 | Flash_image clockworkmod recovery for Samsung Fascinate | I have a Samsung Fascinate for a while that I've wanted to flash a new rom to, but the USB port simply will not work on any PC. I've tried it on 6 different PC's with a mixture of XP / 7 along with numerous installations and reinstallations of the Fascinate drivers. It charges but will not be recognized by the Windows, Odin or Heimdall, so I've given up in that respect. However, the phone IS rooted. I know this because I can give su permissions and I'm seeing the # in the terminal emulator. So I would like to know if I can get clockworkmod recovery onto it through the "flash_image" command - I've seen tutorials for other phones that are able to do this. However another problem is that I can find no .img Clockwork recovery files for the Fascinate anywhere. I can find the .zip that's provided on Rom Manager's website (and also the .zip downloaded by Rom Manager itself), but I'm not sure if that's the same thing as a .img. So my question is, can I flash a .zip as a recovery image? If not, is there some kind of directory of official Clockworkmod recovery .img files, or at least one for the Fascinate somewhere? If not, can I take a .tar or a .bin and somehow mess with those files on the Fascinate without having to utilize Odin / Heimdall? Thanks a ton! |
24210 | Is it possible to stop notifications of an OTA update? | I rooted and modded my Samsung Prevail (Gingerbread) a couple weeks ago, and all is going well there. However, I am now getting notices about an OTA system update, which I have no intention of installing. I will wait for the makers of my mod to produce a parallel version. In the meantime, is there any way to kill the constant notices about the update? |
24216 | What's wrong with the MHL connector (for HDMI output) on the Samsung Galaxy S3 | MHL is an emerging standard for connecting mobile devices to HD displays. A lot of new smartphones support MHL via a dual-purpose connector that supports both micro-USB cables and MHL-HDMI adapters. Samsung advertises the Galaxy S3 as having one of these micro-USB / MHL connectors. The micro-USB works great, but my MHL-HDMI adapter doesn't work with it. |
24215 | Wi-Fi not working on home router after ICS update (Galaxy S2) | Can someone help me? I'm really frustrated now and eating through my data like theres no tomorrow. Since I did the ICS update I can't connect my samsung galaxy s2 to my home wireless router (belkin n1)! It says `obtaining ip address`...`authenticating`...`saved secured with wpa/wpa2 psk` and then repeats over and over again! But no Wi-Fi, and I cant get online etc... Does anyone know what would cause this? How do I fix it? |
2803 | Wi-fi is auto-enabling | I don't know why but the Wi-fi on my Droid (Froyo) keeps auto-enabling. I can't figure out what is causing it and want to make it stop.

62265 | What is the mysterious "CDC Serial" device and why do I needed it? | I've built my own PC computer from parts I purchased online, I did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with SP1 (full version, no OEM bloatware), and I ran Windows Update several times to get the latest and greatest updates from Microsoft. I was pleased to see that everything worked as expected, no issues whatsoever, not in software nor in hardware. Next, I connected my brand new Samsung Galaxy S4 Plus (GT-I9506) phone to a free USB port on the computer. Windows detected following 3 different devices. * USB Composite Device * Galaxy S4 (sg) * CDC Serial  Windows automatically installed and configured the first two devices (see screenshot above). Except the "CDC Serial" device. It didn't install that one. 1. What is "CDC Serial" device? 2. Why do I need it? 3. How do I install it? The very first thing I did was to check the user's manual (the complete manual, not the getting started guide). There is not a single reference to "CDC Serial". I'm not an expert, but I do understand some of this. The "USB Composite Device" is installed so that Windows can communicate with the phone over the USB cable. The "Galaxy S4 (sg)" is the name I gave to my phone during setup, and this is the device that presents itself to Windows as a media player, makes use of the MTP protocol, and this is what shows up in Windows Explorer. How am I supposed to know what "CDC Serial" is if it's not described in the user's manual? I have never seen that before on any Android device when connected to a PC. I did a search for "cdc serial" on Google and all I could find was people doing some hacks to their phones, like rooting, changing ROM, and generally just hacking it. So what if I don't want to do any of that? Is it still important to configure the "CDC Serial" device? How does it impact the functionality of the phone, e.g. when syncing data between the phone and the PC, if I decide I don't want to follow those hacking tips and tricks to try to install this device? I contacted Samsung Technical Support about this and they had no clue what I was talking about. They said they would look into it, but that's it. No help at all. The user's manual says I can change the USB connection type from MTP to PTP. It essentially makes the phone present itself to Windows as a still camera device. I tried that there were no issues with drivers not being installed. Windows detected only the "Galaxy S4 (sg)" device and it was automatically configured and installed.  In this mode, only picture files can be transferred between the phone and the PC. So this is very limiting, in my opinion. But the "CDC Serial" device was not detected. How so?.. |

28543 | ADB Shell command that can test MLS / SPC codes? | I am a Republic Wireless subscriber with the Motorola Defy XT. The Defy is a decent phone, but unfortunately very little space has been dedicated to internal application storage (300MB) and often we are running out of space so we are on a quest to get root access to alleviate our issues. Sadly, RW has not provided us with the MLS / SPC code to modify the device. My question is, is there an Android shell command that I can issue that will directly / indirectly test the validity of an MLS / SPC code. In other words, a command that changes a setting that requires the MLS code to be passed along as a parameter. My hope is that I can write a script that will test all possible combinations of the six digit integer. |

34221 | Nexus 7 won't boot up - could it be due to cell phone sitting on top of it? | I've had my Nexus 7 for about 4 months and it's been working well until about a couple days ago. It ran out of battery so I plugged in the charger. It began charging but something weird happened when it turned on. It started having static lines across the screen and it would work for about 3 min and then the static lines would appear. After that it would turn off. I left it charging for about 6 hrs and now it won't boot up at all. Could this be due to a cell phone sitting on top of the Nexus 7 cover for a couple days? Could it be that the radio frequency from the cell phone messed up the Nexus 7? I'd appreciate some help getting this booting again. |
