9652 | Why does my Galaxy S now displays 'couldn't connect' when I press the microphone key | I have been entering numbers using the microphone key on the keyboard fine yesterday. All of a sudden, when I tried to enter numbers with the microphone key some time later, the message 'couldn't connect' is displayed when I press the microphone key. Anyone any idea how to fix this ? Restarting the phone, does not seem to help. |
9655 | Data only plan on Motorola Atrix 4G? | I finally made the switch from iPhone to Android. So far it has been quite nice with the Atrix. I got the phone with the intent of having 3G data and WIFI only, no voice or SMS. I got a data only service from a company called FOMA, installed the SIM and the phone comes up with: SIM not provisioned MM#2 Google searches say the SIM is bad, but that is not the case for me. Here is what I have been able to test: 1. SIM from another carrier in Atrix that has voice service - OK 2. FOMA SIM in a Blackberry, Blackberry comes up OK and recognizes the network The provider says the SIM is active, which makes sense since it works in my Blackberry. If I go into the network setup the phone can see the two major providers here, but can't operate on either of them. Is it possible the phone is saying the SIM is not provisioned because there is no voice service available? Anyone know how I can go about debugging the problem? |
36992 | How to use Tasker to kill apps on/after device boot? | I have several apps auto start at boot, and it's really not necessary. So I'm trying to use Tasker to kill them on/after device boot. Tasker has a "Event - Device Boot" option, but it seems that does not work. Tasker just cannot catch this event. I'v also tried to trigger the profile when another app (which starts after Tasker) starts. It works but the problem is that each time the app starts, Taker performs the action, but I only need the task to be performed once. Can anyone think of any trick to do this? PS: please no recommendation on third-party apps or permission change method |
36993 | How to upgrade hboot | I have an HTC Desire and my end game is to get custom md partitions. I'm at step one trying to get S-OFF. I've downloaded the tool from revolutionary.io and it tells me my device is: Found your device: HTC Desire (bravo-0.75.0000, Android: 2.3.5, ROM version: bravo-user) Your device: bravo, with HBOOT 0.75.0000 is not supported at this time. So I've looked into how to upgrade the HBOOT and I read that I need S-OFF first? It's a classic chicken and egg scenario. Where do I go from here? |
36990 | How to transfer data of jetpack joyride from one phone to another? | I have played Jetpack Joyride for a while now, and I have a lot of missions completed, along with money, gadgets, etc unlocked. My Droid Razr recently broke, and Verizon sent me a new one. I want to transfer the saved data from the broken phone to the new one, but I cannot find the data anywhere. Could anyone help me out with me? Finding the data, transferring, etc. |
9659 | Why does the clock think he's in Detroit? | We have brand new phones, and my husband's HTC Evo Shift 4G clock app seems to think he's in Detroit. He isn't. We've never even been to Michigan, which is probably our loss, I'm sure Michigan is beautiful, but the point is that it isn't like we've got a billing address in Detroit or a Detroit area code. The map knows where we are, but the clock shows his "current location" as Detroit. I can't find a way to change that in the clock settings. We've tried with `Settings > Date & time settings` on both "Automatic" and not. I even rebooted after enabling automatic date/time. Doesn't seem to make a difference. |
36996 | A Music listening app that lets me delete song from it's interface | So, is there any app that lets me do that? I generally copy full folders which I take from my friends so there are many crappy songs that come to my playlist too. I really need a way to delete the songs from the Music Player interface itself rather than using a File Manager to delete them. |
1468 | Do you know other Android keypad commands (dialer codes)? | There a lots of differents keypad commands in Android. Which one do you know ? Some of them are listed here : `*#*#checkin#*#*` Phones home to check for updates. `*#*#info#*#*` \- Enters a detailed phone information menu. `*#*#1472365#*#*` : Access to the GPS config menu (useful for patching Galaxy S GPS failure) |
70110 | Android secret hidden code to open settings | I have rooted the phone. After few days I reset the phone. Thereafter it didnt showed anything .My phone is Intex Aqua 4.0 with android 2.3.5 Can you tell me the telephone code to open the settings option or to enable USB debugging mode. |
8194 | What does the *#*#4636#*#* dialer code do? | Has anyone tried the `*#*#4636#*#*` or `*#*#7780#*#*` dialer codes on HTC phones? They're not working for me. Secondly, what does it show, means what kind of information? Is it safe to run on brand new phone? |
3769 | What special phone numbers can be used to display (hidden) info on Android phones? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Do you know other Android keypad commands ? In another post someone mentioned the special phone number `#*#4636#*#` to list CPU specific information. I would like to ask you to list such **special phone numbers** in this post. Mind you, I am _not looking for a list on a web page_ (I'm sure that such a list is available somewhere). I am looking for **special numbers you actually used yourself** , so you can vouch for the fact that they actually work. Please mention your phone, because I can imagine some of them are phone specific, no ? |
37024 | Remotely send music to Android device | There are multiple questions in _Android Enthusiasts_ addressing the possibility of streaming music to an Android device, _where the point of control is the said device._ I need something slightly different. Suppose when I come home, I plug my Android device on my stereo system, and work on my laptop. Now, I want to play an mp3/webradio/the sound of a movie/white noise in my stereo system, using my Android device while not moving from my chair. What are the softwares to do so? Simply put: I want to beam sound through wifi, to my Android device, from **and controlled by** my laptop. The only solution I can think of is to open a tunnel to the Android sound device and ask my playing software to send the sound to it. _Technical details_ : Tablet Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1; Laptop with Linux. Thanks a lot. |
37027 | How to disable autofocus and set focus to infinity? | I almost never take any close up pictures with my Galaxy Nexus (and when I do, it'd be more convenient to manually switch into some kind of macro mode). How do I stop the auto-focus from trying all possible focus positions every time I take a picture? Such behaviour makes me lose all the good moments that I want to capture in the first place (due to a focus delay of about 3 to 5 seconds), and often results with pictures being taken out-of-focus, especially at night or through a windscreen or something. Is there a way to disable such bogus autofocus? |
37029 | Is there a SD card in the HTC Desire C? | Is there a SD-card in the HTC Desire C, when you unpack it? I just got mine today, but since there isn't registered any SD-card I wondered, if you have to buy that seperately. This might be a stupid question, but hope to get an answer ;) |
78194 | How do I reset the input language to English when I can't read the current language? | I have a **Nexus 4** with the latest OS. I accidentally set the input to **Arabic**. Now I don't know how to reset to **English**. I tried re-booting but it did not revert to **English**. I would like to avoid a factory reset, if possible. |
78195 | Does a broken screen on a Nexus One automatically mean the touch screen digitizer needs to be replaced? | After 5 years of faithful service, my Nexus One finally cracked (literally) today when it fell from my vehicle. The screen is severely cracked but remains intact in the frame and the display has no problem at all (other than the obstruction by the fractured glass itself). Even touch sensitivity seemed to be intact though I have to risk my fingers on the broken glass to use it. From some googling, it seems like touch screen digitizer is the part that's recommended to be replaced in such cases. Will that have to be the case here too, or since the touch sensitivity is intact can it end up a cheaper replacement than that? The digitizer seems to be >$25 here in India and I'd prefer not to spend that on an old soon-to-be-replaced phone. |
78193 | Why am I being charged after having disabled mobile data? | I have very recently purchased Mote E. I have disabled Mobile data and work only with Wifi. Even after this I see I am being charged with 0 MB data usage.  I don't understand what is happening here. It is coming very frequently. I am very sure none of the Apps are using it since I uninstalled almost every app that I installed after this problem has arisen. I have checked data usage logs and it says 0 MB data usage and that none of my app have used any mobile data. Why is this happening? Probably some check after wifi gets disconnected? I checked with android debugger but there is too many log statement... anything particular I should be looking at? Any help or suggestion is appreciated. |
81648 | How can I use Public Key Authentication for SFTP in ES File Explorer? | I want to use SFTP to transfer files from Android to a Linux box using Public Key authentication rather than a traditional user name and password. Ideally I would like to use ES File Explorer (as I use it for everything else). Can anyone tell me how to generate a suitable public/private key pair to allow ES File Explorer to authenticate with the SFTP server? * When I try to connect to an SFTP server using a Private Key, I can select a file containing the key, but when I click OK, I get the message "Error, cannot find the SFTP(mysite.com) server". * I know that ES File Explorer is capable of using SFTP because it worked when I was using password authentication. Now that I have switched passwords off on the server, it reports "Login fails. This may be caused by: Auth fail", which is pretty much what I would expect. * I know that the Android phone still has connectivity to the SSH server, because I can connect to it using Connectbot with Public Key authentication. * I know that SFTP is still working over SSH, because I can connect to it and transfer files using BitKinex running on a PC. * CLARIFICATION: I am not running a firewall on the Android phone. * CLARIFICATION: When the phone fails to connect, the SFTP server logs `Received disconnect from my.ip.ad.dr: 3: com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Auth fail [preauth]` I have successfully authenticated with the server using 2048-bit keys generated by PuTTY KeyGen, both in PuTTY's .ppk format (in PuTTY itself) and exported to OpenSSH format (for BitKinex). These keys didn't work; neither did exporting them to SSH.com format. I've also got OpenSSH / OpenSSL available on the Linux box as an alternative for key generation. Connectbot manages its own keys, but doesn't seem to be able to export the private key (option greyed out). I guess the problem could either be that I am using the wrong key file format, or that I've got the wrong options set on the key itself. I haven't been able to find any instructions in the ES File Explorer documentation or on Google. It ought not to make a difference, but I am using a Huawei Ascend P2 with Android 4.1.2. It is not rooted (and I'm not going to). The linux box is a Raspberry Pi with OpenSSH 6.0p1 Debian-4+deb7u2. |

67237 | Prevent Google Play from reinstalling apps after factory reset | I've got multiple Android devices and have a plethora of apps. I've just done a factory reset on one in order to use it for development purposes only, however there are a couple of apps that I need that I've already paid for. If I attach my Google account to this device, by default, the device will begin downloading **_all_** of my apps.. and while this is a good feature for some, I don't want all that crap on this device. How can I prevent my device from automatically downloading apps when I attach my play account? |
67236 | Nexus 7: Can I set its WiFi to monitor/promiscous mode? If so, how? | Related question: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/21057/nexus-7-or-any-other-good- android-tablets-for-pen-testing I need to turn a Nexus 7 with Android in it into a wireless packet sniffer. I need to keep track not only of my own traffic but also of the traffic my WiFi interface can capture (hence the need to set it in monitor mode) I've installed the Cyanogen mod to gain root's access so that's not a problem. It also has BusyBox to get some command line tools. Heck, I even compiled wireless-tools (following this thread) I'm not even certain that even doable with the embedded wireless _card_ in the Nexus 7 allows monitor mode? If it does, would it be possible setting it using regular commands (such as `iwconfig`, `ifconfig`) I'm old, and that's what I'm used to **:-D** (opening a terminal and typing things) The about tablet says: Kenel version: 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-gb7efce1 build03@cyanogenmod #1 Mon Feb 3 15:26:37 PST 2014 CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v7) CyaongenMod version: 10.2.1.-flo I know it only has a WiFi interface (no 3G/4G) and also that it's a 2013 model Since my Wi-Fi's MAC address starts with `AC:22:0B`, I guess I have some kind of `ASUSTek` card, but I haven't been able to find the specific model. Thank you in advance. **PS:** If I can't monitor wireless traffic with a Nexus 7, I'm open to buy a new tablet with a network interface that accepts monitoring. I'm open to suggestions about what to get. |

68570 | Any way to set up a Google Voice number to ring multiple cell phones? | Anyone have any hacks or tricks to be able to add multiple cell phones to a Google Voice number? We set up a GV#, and want to have it ring our 1) home line, 2) my wife's cell and 3) my cell. Can a GV# forward to another GV#? I'm wondering if maybe I set up a separate GV# for my phone, and then have the shared one forward to mine, which will then forward to my phone. Anyone out there found a way to do what we are looking to do? |

68579 | How do I get my Android to recognize my portable charger? | I've bought a portable charger for my phone recently but once I switch it on, it charges for a minute tops before switching off. It seems as though the charger doesn't recognise my phone... is there anyway I can get the phone to recognise the charger or vice versa. Other things to point out: * The portable charger recognises my iPod touch and it charges quickly so I know the charger works. I've also used the charger on another android phone. * **Phone** : HTC Sensation * **Charger** : not anything branded cause I got it cheap from Hong Kong. |
3363 | App to hand write notes | I am looking for an app that would be good for taking hand written notes on a 10 inch screen tablet The closest app that i found is "note everything" What makes it short of my requirements is 1(most important) Drawn notes that i can write on are each 1 tablet screen size. I want something that can be scrolled down forever as i need more space. Something the way a normal document works. At worst it should let me instantly page another full canvas forward, not have to create a new note for every page 2\. text notes and hand written notes are separated into separate files. I would like the whole note to be hand written, but be able to add typed ares 3\. There are no lines in the paint section. Makes it hard to write Can anyone suggest anything better? |
30271 | I can flash Cyanogenmod though my bootloader is locked | I am using a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and CWM as recovery. Even though I locked my bootloader after installing the recovery, I can flash Cyanogenmod 10 using CWM without any errors. Now I am wondering why this works? When I unpack the Cyanogenmod 10 `.zip` on my computer, there's also a `boot.img`, so I guess it also replaces the bootloader? Maybe when the bootloader is locked, this step is skipped (but no error shown) and the stock ROM bootloader is also OK? This ends up in my final question: While it works, am I maybe missing a bootloader update when flashing Cyanogenmod while my bootloader is locked? |

35313 | Unable to connect Galaxy S3 to PC via USB | I've had my Galaxy S3 for a few months now, and have always been able to connect to my PC via USB. A few days ago, it suddenly stopped working. I've found many other Android.SE threads, but none have been able to answer my question. **Symptoms:** when I plug the phone in via USB, the phone beeps, I get a lightning bolt on my battery, but that's it. There are no USB options in the pull-down status bar, and the PC does not recognize that a device has been plugged in. Click screenshot for full size.  **PC System:** Windows 7 x64 with the latest drivers and Kies software from Samsung. **Phone info:** * Samsung SGH-i747 * Android version 4.0.4 * Baseband version I747UCLG1 * Kernel Version 3.0.8-704434-user * Build number IMM76D.I747UCALG1 **What I've tried:** * My wife has an identical Galaxy S3--I plugged her S3 into the same cable, and it was recognized immediately. So I know the PC and cable are both working correctly. * Uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers several times anyway -- alone AND with the Kies software. * Every USB port on the box * Factory data reset--both from the setup menu, and the diagnostic bootup menu * USB debugging mode, both on and off. * Changing the UART and USB settings in the *#7284# PhoneUtil. After my last factory reset, it's set to PDA/MTP+ADB. Anything else I should try? Is there a way to determine if the USB plug on the phone is bad? Edit: screenshot from my wife's phone, using the same computer, same cable:  |

23181 | Reason SD cards come FAT formated instead of Fat32? | I found my SD card to be FAT formated instead of a modern filesystem (at least fat32). This comes with the disadvantage of large allocation unit size (32kb) whilst most of the files are less than that. Is there a reason behind that and can I safely format sd cards to be fat32 in order to use another allocation size (8kb or less) ? Phone: Xperia Neo V |

I want to use stock 2.3.6 which I got from https://sites.google.com/site/baroqueworksdevandroid/offcail-binary. In recovery mode I get this error: assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "crespo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "crespo" Error Status 7 Installation aborted` Now I realize at this point that this has SOMETHING to do with the variety of cryptic code names for the Nexus S phones as well as a possibility that the current ROM I am using might have the wrong code name embedded in it, making my downgrading difficult. 1) What is the code name for the Sprint Nexus S 4g which is a CDMA phone but not the Verizon codename? 2) Does that link have the proper ROMs for this phone? 3) Other options? I need to flash this back to 2.3.6 |

25920 | The Way Numbers Are Displayed/Broken Up | I live in Jordan and just got a Galaxy SIII. I have a problem with the way numbers are being displayed on the dialer and when you actually press the green button to place a call. Basically, the phone breaks up the number, including the prefix, by inserting spaces. For example, let’s say my number is `0787777707` (078 being the prefix of the phone operator). The phone displays it as `07 87 77 77 07`. How can I fix it so it displays it as one series, `0787777707`? My iPhone has a simiar issue, but that could be addressd once you change the regional format. I can’t find that on the Galaxy though. |

23452 | Can I make a web browser accessible without unlocking? | Is there an Android app like this, or an easy way to make an arbitrary app accessible while the device is locked? https://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=com.lazyday.luna&applicationid=9741 For those who are not familiar with it, WebOS Exhibition mode activiates automatically when the device is placed in a dock and displays dedicated apps like a screen saver or clock. As far as I can tell, the only major difference from the Android dock mode is that WebOS lets you switch between dock apps without unlocking the device, whereas Android just displays one app. The device on which I'm interested in doing this is actually an HP Touchpad dual-booting CyanogenMod 9. Android runs much more smoothly, even the CM alpha, but I'd still like to let my friends look things up without having to unlock the device for them. |
23454 | How can I restrict a user's ability to modify settings or install apps? | Our team is planning to buy around 10 Android phones for the team members. We don't want them to install any applications other than the ones provided. Is there a method or an application which would allow me to restrict the ability of a user to install apps? As an analogy, on Windows the admin can configure the system so that other users cannot access Internet settings, task manager, or install new software. We'd basically like to do something similar to that. One idea I had was to download the Android source code itself and then program it according to my needs and install it on the devices. However, I would prefer to avoid doing that, if possible. |
23456 | Android voice search doesn't recognize Exchange contacts | So I'm sure this is primarily because the contacts aren't listed in one of the linked gmail accounts. It's killing me because my dad can't use voice commands to call his contacts like he did on his BlackBerry. The only solution I've found so far is to export the exchange contacts to one of the linked gmail accounts. But obviously this must be redone EVERY time he changes something in outlook. So, is there some way to get voice commands to recognize the Exchange contacts? Or do I have to look for some sort of 3rd party solution that will sync the contacts between the two services? Also, he doesn't like how the contacts are listed by the person instead of by the company. Any way to change that? |

76953 | how can I control the second internal clock | My alarm clock app has been occasionally failing to ring in the morning, but I don't believe the problem is due to the app. In other news I recently added a lock screen app that happens to display the time in two locations on the screen (one from app itself and other my widget) and on days when the alarm fails to ring I noticed that the second clock just stops, (which today says 3:52 am) I have been checking the two clocks before bed, but last night when I checked it was good, yet the alarm failed this morning and now the times are different I presume there are two internal clocks and the lock screen and alarm app are both using the problem clock, which is probably being killed by some task killer.

But when I open the storage in Windows explorer I can't find the folder that cotains so much data. There are bunch that sum up to 50 MB only (the total size is 1,13 GB) and many folders show up as "0 bytes" in usage, which is strange. DiskUsage app shows that "system data" takes 90% of the storage, but I can't figure out what to delete or uninstall to free some space. How or what can I delete to free up space (I believe that apps themselves can't take up this much storage, I don't have that many I think). NOTE: I moved hopefully all the apps to the SD card before.

I was playing a while, and after a couple of minutes my phone rebooted and got bootlooped.

73527 | How can I save and protect sexy pictures sent by my girlfriend? | I'm traveling and my GF wants to send me some racy pictures. Of course I will accept that offer, but I need to save them on my phone in a safe way. My phone uses Activesync, so it's possible for my office to reset my pin code and so I need an extra layer of protection for more intimate pictures. She has an iPhone so I think she will send them over SMS, but I can ask her to do it a different way. What are my options? |

26632 | How can I deal with unwanted system applications without rooting? | There are a lot of system apps in my mobile that I do not use, and have no intention of ever using.

77603 | Nexus S GPS reception quality has dropped : Can it be fixed? | My Nexus S GPS unit seems to function more poorly every week. Sometimes I can't get a lock at all: using a GPS monitor shows it perpetually stuck at three satellites. I frequently loose GPS coverage when moving on my bicycle, a car, or even walking with the phone held above my head. Is there a fix beyond replacing the entire phone? |
77602 | GSM vulnerabilities | I heard that there are inherent flaws in the GSM protocol that make it possible for someone to impersonate a network operator and do all sorts of nasty things remotely, even if your phone is off. Is this true? Is it also true of today's Android phones? |
77609 | VPN app in Google Play Store prevents me from connecting the Internet | I was using the app called VPN 1-Click for a long time. Recently I got root and granted it permissions when it asked for it. I recently removed the permissions from the app because the servers weren't so stable. Now my phone won't connect the Internet at all. Neither wifi nor mobile data works. |
77608 | Galaxy S4 restarting and freezing after root | I recently made the mistake of rooting my Galaxy S4, accompanied by a few more customizations. Problems that occur: * TouchWiz freezes. One way to unfreeze is to hold down the Home button to see recently opened apps and then go back, so that Touchwiz wakes up. The other way is to pull down the Notification bar and click Settings or anything else from there that'll send me to a different app so I can avoid it. If I don't do any of these within 5 seconds the freezing occurs, the device restarts. * The device also restarts when the CPU is _suddenly_ expected to work hard. For instance, within the first minute of a call, or when the screen is locked/unlocked, a couple seconds after opening a music file. This happens 3-5 times a day, depending on usage. The restart is not always preceded by a freeze, but often there's a freeze before the restart. Recent changes that may be causing such behaviour: * Rooting using AutoRoot by Chainfire. * Giving CPU Master root permissions after SuperSU is installed. * Installing busybox. * Patching modded Google Play Store (involves patching Core.jar package) What I did so far: * Uninstall CPU Master. * Delete cache and data of Touchwiz * Remove busybox * Remove all custom patches from core.jar * Install the original Google Play Store and update to latest version I don't think Touchwiz is causing the crashes because somethimes the phone restarts while an app is in use. Thanks in advance. |

75602 | Does Chrome for Android sync passwords? | Does Chrome for Android currently sync passwords to Desktop Chrome through your Google Account? I found the issue at https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=113164, but last they say you need Chrome Beta for it. I'm asking because I added a few new passwords from Desktop Chrome, and they still are not synced to Android Chrome, so I started to doubt if sync works. Both are signed into my Google Account. |

75600 | Why doesn't Google Now's place-specific reminders remember my home location? | I have my home and work locations set. These show up accurately in Google Maps and also in Google Now if I go "Wand" -> "Places" at the bottom. However, whenever I go to set a place-specific reminder, Google Now reprompts me to enter my home location. The screen looks like this:  As you can see, the "Home" field doesn't actually have an address below it. This is never remembered. How can I fix this? |
75606 | Android contacts integrating, how to stop it? | I have bought my first android phone(sony xperia m)! I'm so happy. But very strange things happen. I have installed a skype and it's contacts are migrated to contacts of my phone. I do not ask it to do this! There are no phone numbers in my skype contacts. They are useless there. I create a google play account, then all apps are connected to my mail. I do not ask them. I have separate accounts at youtube, in mail, in google and in other services. And _I do not want to anybody associate me as one person with all of them_. Now I understand, I do not know how my data is organized, what relations avoid me create my device, what data it throws over from one to another. How can I stop it? |
51820 | Nexus 7 Not Booting; Backlight Turns on while Charging | A friend of mine has a Nexus 7 2012. Although it used to work, it now won't turn on. I would mark this off as a broken battery or screen if it were not for this one oddity: the backlight turns on while the device is charging. I am unable to reach the bootloader or recovery mode. He does not know what Android version it runs, so I can be of no help there. He also says that this happened after he let his Nexus turn off due to low battery. Is there any way I would be able to fix this issue (say jumpstart it and use USB debugging to fix it?), or is the device truly broken? |
78320 | Set up a host to IP mapping in unrooted Android 4.4 tablet | I've a website running on my computer, and I want to test it from my nexus 7 tablet. I.e. over the local wifi LAN. If I type in the IP address it connects, but shows the wrong web site, because I'm using named virtual hosting. So, what I want to do is be able to type "mysite.local" in to Chrome/Firefox on the Nexus, have them convert that to 10.1.2.3 (or whatever the local IP address is), then call the 10.1.2.3 server giving mysite.local as the Host to request. _My Question:_ Does an Android 4.x tablet have an /etc/hosts files, or equivalent, that I can edit? (Without having to root the tablet, or anything like that.) On my linux computers I do this by adding an entry in /etc/hosts: 10.1.2.3 mysite.local (Or `Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts` on a Windows machine does the same.) BTW, this is a semi-duplicate of Manually set a hostname for IP address (i.e. /etc/hosts equiv.?), but that question was for Android 2.2, where apparently it was not possible. (One of the alternative ideas suggested there was configure DNS at the local router, but as far as I can tell my router does not do DNS locally so does not have that option. I could set up my own DNS server to do this, but that feels like a Big Job Solution.) |
33142 | Is there no way to get scripts to run in Android? | Since Android is Linux at its base, I logically think it should be possible to run a script on Android, like a Python script or PHP script (with executable bit obviously). If not conventionally, is there any way to do so? |
8979 | What is the relation between ROM Manager, ClockworkMod and Nandroid? Which one(s) do I need? | So I understand the first thing I need to do with my phone, after rooting, is to back everything up. But I was confused about 3 of the apparently popular tools used for this. For example, is Nandroid an application I run on a computer connected to the Android device, or on the device itself? I understand ClockworkMod is a "custom recovery". What does that mean? Why do I need it? What does it mean to "flash" it? Asides from browsing and installing new ROMs, how does ROM manager interact with the other two? Does it include them both, so I just need to download it from the market and be done with it? I will appreciate any answer that can sort out the differences, with emphasis on what I, as an end-user, actually need to do, and whether there is any risk on those actions. |
38401 | Having Strangers' Names in Caller ID Display | Tired of not being able to tell who's calling me at all, I ended up putting out the additional monthly cost and getting caller ID display in my phone plan. And since I took it, I... still cannot tell who's calling me most of the time. Let me explain. When you have a home phone and have caller ID display in your plan, it displays the number of the person calling you as well as the name associated to that number in the phonebook. But that doesn't happen on my mobile phone. Unless it's a contact of mine, it's Unknown / No name that comes with the number. But the absence of such information makes the feature half as useful as home phone caller ID display (for the same price >_>). I realise this is more of a network / carrier issue, and that there's probably no way for me, myself, to change it (or is there? :D), but I'm wondering if there's a workaround. For example, a way for me to create my own phonebook with some names. Of course, I could just add them to my contacts, but adding people who aren't actually contacts would clutter my contacts list a ton. And categories don't really work on my phone. you can't manage them on the phone at all. You need to create contacts at the root of the contacts, and then log in to the Google website with your computer and sort them. So... Yeah. Is there any remotely convenient way for me to "fix" caller ID display, so I know who is that non-contact who's calling? **Edit: I forgot to say. I did ask my provider about it. They said the system is different for mobile and home phones and they can't do anything about it.** My phone: * Samsung Galaxy Q (SGH-T589W) * Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread * Processor: 600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 * Internal storage: 152 MB * RAM: 279 MB * SD card: 2 GB * Carrier: Videotron |
38407 | Is there an Android Equivalent to iMessage? | I don't get mobile reception at home and would love to be able to send and receive SMS either via the phone or by computer. I currently use Skype to send SMS but can't receive that way. I have tried a few apps but nothing seems to work unless you're in mobile range. My daughter has an iPhone and she can send and receive SMS with ease. I have a Samsung Galaxy S III. I am in Australia so I need a service that is available here. Google Voice is not available here. |
38405 | How to insert Unicode characters by their hex codes using USB keyboard on ICS? | Is typing hex codes to insert Unicode characters possible when using USB external keyboard on vanilla ICS or Jelly Bean? Any root modifications available to achieve this? Or, if not possible system-wide, are there any text editing apps that will allow such behavior? Inserting Unicode characters such as various bullets, subscript and superscript numbers, Greek letters and so on has been very useful while studying. I normally use gedit on a netbook running peppermint distro, because it's very simple and nondistracting while typing my summaries. I've ended up knowing by heart the most used hex codes. I'm planning to replace the netbook by a cheap vanilla ICS tablet (already factory-rooted) and a comfortable, decent USB keyboard, and the described feature would be mostly appreciated. Thanks in advance! |

70072 | HTC One SV: Preditive dictionary turns "I was" into "I WAS" every time. How can I turn this off? | Whenever I type "I was", the preditive dictionary chooses "WAS" as the first choice, rather than "was". However, it does not do this if I type "was" on its own, only if it follows "I." Obviously this is very annoying when typing out quick replies on my phone. I have next word prediction turned off, "WAS" does not appear in my dictionary so cannot be deleted. Why is it doing this only with this phrase, and how can I turn it off? |
22541 | How to download an audio file from a web site? | Is there a way to download an audio file, such as a mp3-file from the Android browser to the device so I could listen to it later when I'm offline? Is there a way I should program the web site to make this possible? I'm _not_ looking for an additional app to help me achieve this. |
70076 | Does Nexus 7 has Bluetooth Smart technology? | I've read here http://www.bluetooth.com/Pages/Bluetooth-Smart-Devices- List.aspx among other pages that it has this technology, but i'm trying to connect to a beacon with it and the app says that "Device does not have Bluetooth Low Energy". Are there maybe any Nexus 7 devices without this kind of bluetooth or what is the problem? The device is updated and the beacons are working because i can find them with other devices. |
71389 | My Nexus 4 shutdown randomly? | I'm living in India. Last year I bought my Nexus 4 in the US. For a couple of months now my device is getting quite hot, and shuts down randomly. I have done a factory reset 2 times, but no use of that: the shutdown continues. This mostly happens when I'm on 3g, but not when I lock the device to 2g. The problem started about 5 months after purchase, so it didn't exist from the start. Has anyone experienced this issue? Can anything be done to solve it? |
71382 | How can I have a different lock screen photo every time? | is it possible to always have the same lock screen photo and wallpaper, I want a different photo every time I open my phone. I got an app that can change my wallpaper but is it possible to make it change (or a different app) the lock screen also? My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S 5. |
71383 | Galaxy S4: bluetooth remote audio not supported | Hi I have a (AU) Nissan Navara D40 2012, when i got it my phone always worked perfectly for streaming music and phone calls. Now when i start my ca, the phone connects to the stereo system ok but, when i try to play music (by selecting bluetooth via car stereo) it says "remote audio not supported". If i then turn off my bluetooth (via the phone) and turn it back on and connect back to car. Everything works perfectly. The same goes for phone calls. Cannot hear or talk to anyone until i turn of BT and back on, manually reconnecting to the car. The other thing I seem to continually get is ghost calls (when connected to the car), invariably always get when when it first connects. It doesn't register a call on the handset but does in the car, doest ring it just goes in to the "in call mode" with the time counting up. Between the working and non working state I had rooted the handset and put a custom ROM on it, I have since removed this and put the latest factory ROM on it. Off memory I don't believe the custom ROM had issues. Has anyone seen simiar issues? * Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) * Android 4.3 * Baseband Version: I9505XXUEND1 * Kernel:3.4.0-2082040 (dpi@DELL311#1) * Build #: JSS15J.I9505XXUEND1 |

To my surprise, the phone started redownloading all of the apps I had on my other phone over my cellular data connection. Conveniently enough it was the exact same versions of the older apps I had on my old phone, and in some cases the same data preferences. I cancelled the auto downloading, and now I can't figure out how to resume it. On the play store under `My Apps` under `all` it shows me the apps I have downloaded under that account at one point in time, but no way to mass resume downloading them. It seems to only have options for individually installing the apps |

18608 | Unable to boot Galaxy S - only see a picture of phone -> "triangle with an exclamation point" -> computer | I just bought a Galaxy S phone for my son last month. He was trying to download Clockworkmod firmware and probably loaded the wrong version. It initially was in a boot loop. After I took it to the dealer, an inexperience staff tried to reset the phone back to factory mode. The manager saw the hat logo on the phone and stopped us right there. The manager told us that we void the warranty by downloading an authorized software. Now, when we power up the phone, we wonly see a picture of the phone -> "triangle with an exclamation point" -> computer" . There are no other responses. Can anyone help. |
33201 | Why does my tablet reset every time I reboot? | I bought a tablet a few days ago. I was playing around with a wireless mouse and a USB OTG cable and decided to restart the tablet for some reason (I don't remember why). After that, when the device booted I saw the setup wizard that started when the tablet was turned on for the first time. The device now resets whenever I reboot, and I can't download & install apps from Play (error says that theres no memory), and I cannot enter recovery mode.

18603 | What happens when Google removes a purchased app from Market? | Google removes malicious and copyright-smasher apps from Market. And, I think paid apps are equally treated in this case. Fortunately, Google hasn't removed any app purchased by me, yet. So, I don't have any idea. What happens when Google removes a paid app? Google returns its cost to buyers or not? Can I continue to use that app with infringing law? Another situation: When I purchase an app and do its FIRST installation after even month, the 15-minute refund option is provided. In case of app removal from market, can I utilize the refund option? |
33203 | How to select Wi-Fi access point? | I am at the hotel trying to get my stuff connected. Had no problems with phone and laptop, but when I'm connecting with the tablet internet is unavailable. As far as I can see, it's connecting to some other access point and is being put to other subnetwork (see screenshots, the phone and the tablet). I tried different places, different floors - it's all the same - WiFi level is OK, different subnetwork, no internet. Is there any way I can fix it by myself, while waiting for hotel staff to "call the programmer to reboot it"? (other than installing Connectify, which I've already done). |
