23288 | Xperia Arc S typing problem while connected to PC? | (First of all, sorry for any errors in my bad English.) I am having a problem with my Xperia Arc S, running Android v4.0.3. When I connect my phone to PC with USB cable, and I'm trying to type anything while it's connected, my phone detects a single touch as a multiple random touches (e.g., I press "w", and it writes "wgjr4"), and when I'm trying to delete errors, it deletes one letter and types several. It's annoying, and there's gotta to be some solution. Can anybody tell me where is the problem, and how to fix it? |

23286 | software update available -- how to find out the details? | My UK HTC Chacha phone running 2.3.5 since the last few months shows a notification since the last couple of days that there is a software update available. But the menu only says that it's a bit over 7MB to downloads, it doesn't specify what software update this is which version -- how to find out the details? |
51599 | Nexus S in reboot loop | My Nexus S (completely original) is stuck in a reboot loop. I don't know why. It just reboots, shuts down, and does the same again and again. I tried removing the battery, loading 100%, removing SIM etc. I no longer care about the phone, but more about the pics of my two sons. The pics are on the iNAND flash memory (inside). I tried to connect to the PC, but its asking for Android 1.0 driver. Even with SDK 2.3 the Nexus isn't getting recognized. Is there a way I can connect onto my Nexus and save my pics? Thx for any help I can get. A desperate dad. |
51598 | Firefox freezes when typing into forms | Experiencing freezes or slowness of Firefox (current and beta version) on a Nexus 4 using Android v.4.3, only when typing into forms. I've read on Mozilla support that it was a known problem and that is could be solved using the Nightly build of the browser. However, using a _tests only_ build is not sastisfacting. I don't know what to do to get a better diagnostic for this issue, any help is welcome, thanks. |
32819 | Google Nexus 4 on Verizon? | I currently own a Motorola Droid 3 on Verizon. I wish to purchase a LG Nexus 4 directly from Google - will it work on my Verizon Network? Or would it be a waste of time? |
32818 | Why has my GSIII's battery life dropped from 50-60 hours to 16 hours? | I have a GSIII (Sprint) running Android 4.0.4. In the last three days, I have not made any changes or installed any new software that I know of, but my battery life has dropped such that my phone, when fully charged in the morning, now powers off sometime before I go to bed. This would make sense if I spent a lot of time using it, but I generally will check a few emails (every 20 min or so) and make maybe 4 calls of 5-10 min each in a typical day. I have not varied this pattern lately. I used to have to charge my phone maybe every other day, sometimes when really slow I could squeak 3 days out of it before charging. Battery usage screen shows 'Cell Standby' taking up 40% of power usage. I hadn't been looking at battery usage lately, but it strikes me that when I first got the phone (3 months ago) I checked these a few times and Cell Standby was fairly low, around 10% as I recall. I usually keep the phone on WiFi because of Sprint's crummy network, and the phone was in my house the entire time it was on battery, so was on WiFi for data...and WiFi takes up 3% of the total. Display takes up 2%. I remember on my previous phone, the Evo (original) there was a Dialer bug that caused a wake-lock of some sort...I'm presuming something similar here. Several hard power cycles have not improved matters. What do I do to stop it, or find out where the CPU cycles are going? Edit: taking a look at the battery pane of the settings app reveals that the phone is staying awake 100 percent of the time that the radio is on. It did not used to do that. Putting the phone in airplane mode lets the phone sleep as usual except for a few times in three hours, as expected. So, apparently this is a wake lock condition again. |
55036 | Slideshow wallpaper using files in hidden folder | I've got some nice photos in one folder and their specially cropped versions in another hidden folder (the name starts with a dot). How can I use the cropped photos from the hidden folder for a wallpaper slideshow? No matter what app I try to use, it doesn't allow me to use the hidden photos. I don't want to make them visible; I don't want duplicated photos in my gallery app. Is there any way / app that would allow me to use the hidden photos for a wallpaper slideshow without having to make them visible in my gallery app? |

32817 | How to troubleshoot a lockup/freeze | I have a GNex running on CN(A) 3.8. It has started to lockup/freeze when the screen is off. So far it occurs mostly overnight while it's charging. I have to pull the battery to resolve. I believe it started a couple of ROM updates ago. I have not gone through the step of doing a factory wipe (but have cleared the cache/Dalvik), etc, but I was wondering what tools does Android have to troubleshoot freezes, etc. Is there a system log, etc that I can look at to see if there's a pattern of what is occurring at the time of freeze? |
51596 | How does back up data works in doing a restore factory in android device? | Im planning to do a restore factory in my android device but I'm quite curious about this back-up data thing. How does it work? Does back up data means it will automatically restore my apps and other files after doing a restore factory setting (given there is a choice of auto restore). _Edit by Izzy:_ OP refers to _Google Cloud Backup_ , as the link to a screenshot in the comments shows. |
73286 | "Battery Usage" page irrelevant | I have been doing battle with the battery vampires, apparently similar to a lot of people on here. I have a _Samsung Droid Charge_ (SCH-i510), and service with Verizon. I have noticed my battery life growing shorter and shorter. As I've had the phone for at least a couple of years now, my very first step in the solution was a new battery. No difference. Even with a brand-new battery, my charge would last less than 24 hours. So, I began my research. Discovered all the settings to correct, and changed them, (wifi, GPS, 4G, etc.). Still, my phone charge would barely last from when I unplugged it in the morning until I plugged it in to charge overnight. I dove deeper into the phone settings. This weekend, I noticed that my phone battery lasted all weekend. **ALL WEEKEND ON A SINGLE CHARGE**. As I live in a rural area, my service is a bit spotty. This got me thinking. I started reading all the permissions that the apps on my phone call for, looking for one that would cause increased battery drainage while in urban areas (around more cell phones, towers and wifi hot spots.) I found one such ambiguous app: "Bluetooth Test". This app is a "default app" and is automatically granted permission to MODIFY BATTERY STATISTICS, (apparently to hide its tracks from the user,) as well as pretty much permission to do whatever it wants, right up to internet access. Apps granted such permissions pretty much makes the Battery Usage page irrelevant, as any app can reassign its battery usage to " **Display** ". As of yet, I've found no mention of it on this site. Does anybody have any info on this app? |
73283 | Compuer shows no sign of tablet connection (SGH-T779 Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for T-Mobile) | How can I get my computer to recognize I have attached my tablet? I have tried every trick online with no luck. Couple notes: * No indication at all from computer that a tablet is plugged in (No yellow exclamation marks in device manager, no sound upon plugging in) * I have tried multiple cables ( I believe this may be a hardware issue), multiple usb ports * I have tried all sorts of driver install methods as well as usb debugging modes * The only indication I get is a red x on the tablet over the battery when plugged in. The tablet charges fine when plugged into the wall charger. * My other galaxy tab 10.1 original communicates with the computer fine ( I have since reformatted the tablet and computer and have tried multiple computers) Currently using: \- Thinkpad T61 with aging battery \- Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (SGH-T779) T-mobile \- Windows 8 (Have tried with a fresh copy of Windows 7) \- Running Android 4.1.2 The only indication I have gotten from the pc that the tablet was plugged in was the mouse changing from an arrow to a thinking symbol for less than 1 second. I feel as though I have tried everything and it is a broken port on the tablet. It charges fine when the tablet is off. Overall, I wish to root the tablet to put a custom rom on it. I have tried rooting the tablet using various apk's w/out a PC but have had no luck (I will probably post another question about troubleshooting root process with no PC). Thanks in advance |
35458 | Flashed my phone without rooting and now it doesn't work | I have an international Samsung Galaxy SIII i.e. GT-I9300. Few days after the official upgrade to v4.1, it started freezing. So I removed the battery and inserted again and it did not boot and was stuck at the boot logo. It doesn't start with the recovery mode either but it does start in download mode. So I flashed it with odin to leaked Galaxy SIII v4.1.2 build. Now it shows 'custom binary count to one'. But when I boot it, it still doesn't start. (same issue; it gets stuck in the boot logo). I'd also like to mention that the phone was **not** rooted prior to flashing. I don't care about data now, I just need my phone back. |
35459 | Can Android 4.03 send file/image batches? | I'm looking around on the play store for an app that would allow me to select a set of images to send via smail. Because there's a 3 mb limit per e-mail (probably imposed by my provider), I was hoping a developer was intelligent enough to create something that perhaps used multiple smails (or somehow otherwise hacked things). Batch upload/download so I can send a bunch of pictures to my friends without hassle, basically, without logging into things. If there's an easy way to do this, please let me know? |
35451 | Is there such thing as an android game market that forbids apps with in-app purchasing? | The Play store and Amazon app store are just full of these horrid, "free" games that are actually crippled unless you want to spend (a lot more than a game like that is really worth). You know the ones. I'm wondering if, among the various alternative app stores out there, there exists a curated game store that focuses on games with real content and transparent, up-front prices. Something reminiscent of the quality control present on the consoles of yore (at least, prior to the modern-day abuse of DLC). |
35454 | Will flashing ROMs multiple times degrade the performance of phone? | Will flashing ROMs multiple times degrade the performance of phone? If yes, is it possible to retain the performance? If no, then is there any procedure or sequence to flash a ROM on a Samsung Galaxy S? |
23866 | Taking pictures using an external (USB) camera on a Samsung Galaxy S2 | Question: How can we take a picture using an external, USB camera, on a Samsung Galaxy S2 (setup in host mode, using an OTG (On The Go) cable), running Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Details: We are trying to build an app as part of a project, where the phone will be out of sight (e.g. in someone's pocket), but the external camera can take a picture (on demand) that our app can process. We have seen evidence of success using OTG and flash drives/mice/keyboards, but are unsure of what difficulties may arise (and how to approach them) for a USB webcam. Given that we are trying to write an app (API level 15), other pointers (with regard to interfacing with the external camera) would be appreciated (as a starting point, we really would like to just prove that the camera CAN work - that is, using any existing app, take a picture using the external camera). Beyond basic recognition and potential problems, we are concerned (perhaps needlessly) about the power that the phone can provide to the USB camera - is it likely that this will be sufficient to power the camera? If it is not possible to use a USB webcam as an external camera on an Android phone, other suggestions as to how we can setup an external camera to work with the phone, would be appreciated. **Specifications:** Android version: 4.0.3 - Ice Cream Sandwich API level 15 Device: Samsung Galaxy 2 Model GT-I9100M Build Number: IML74K.UGLD3 |

23862 | How to hide updates from market? (Given Titanium backup "detach from market" doesn't work) | I have an app that a recent update has removed functionality, so I would like to make the market think I no longer have this app so it'll stop trying to update it and I can safely use the "update all" feature again. If this question looks like an exact duplicate of this question, it is because it is, EXCEPT the titanium backup solution which I've tried dozens of times, while android market is stopped, restarts, rom flashes, etc will not work under any circumstances. The titanium backup "detach from market" doesn't appear to help in the slightest. I'm not actually sure what that does. My assumption is that recent versions of the market broke the detach functionality. **Titanium backup "Detach from market" doesn't work.** |
61531 | Removed storage/emulated/0 file and lost access to all files | I was cleaning up my files using the PC and I accidentally removed `storage/emulated/0` file completely. I can no longer access images, music or files in general. Is there anything I can do at this point? Android 4.4.2, original, untouched. The phone is a Nexus 5. Using ES File Explorer going to `storage/emulated/0` (the `0` here is a folder) shows me and `Android` folder. This is where my data was. The `0` I removed didn't look like a folder on Windows, it looked like a file with no extension. |

27159 | Using Google Voice with Android phone and a SIP appliance (Obi) | I just purchased a Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ with Jellybean(4.1), and have an Unlimited account with Straight Talk. I would like to use Google Voice to handle voicemail for the phone. Currently, I am using my Google Voice account as a SIP provider for my Obi100 internet phone appliance, but I am using the phone's aswering machine rather than GV to handle missed calls, and I have the Google Voice account set up to act as the phone's voicemail (activated through AT&T, which is Straight Talk's SIM provider.) The problem is, missed calls to the android phone number, not the GV number, triggers the answering machine at home - calls ring to both the Nexus and the Obi100 device! I have "Go straight to voicemail" checked off under advanced options for missed calls, rather than "ring my other phones first." Do I need to port the mobile phone number (which I've had for ~10 years) to GV, request a new number from Straight Talk, and use the new Straight Talk number as the "physical phone" for both accounts? Am I missing something in the phone or the GV configuration to make this work as-is? |

36223 | Lock screen orientation on Nexus 4 | Is there a shortcut to lock the screen orientation on the Nexus 4 with android 4.2.1? I read you can swipe down from the top right corner on the Nexus 7 but haven't found any info for the 4. |
36224 | Backup using adb on a phone with a dead screen | I have a Galaxy S3, screen is visually and touch impaired. It is USB debug enabled, un-rooted. I'm able to use Droid@Screen to see my screen, which i'm able to unlock. I then run this command: > adb backup –apk –shared –all –f /backup/mybackup.ab Which then initiates a backup on the phone. On the screen I can see it asking for an encryption password, which i provide by keyevent through adb. The final sticking point, is being unable to find a keyevent which will press the "Backup up my data" button. I am able to tab to it, and have it highlighted, but the 'space' and 'enter' events do not trigger it, as well as 'soft_right'. I'm getting my keyevents from HERE. ![\]!\[Backup Scr\]\[2](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tfyL0.png) If there is another way for me to dump the ab, that would be awesome. |
25427 | Turn-by-turn navigation screen orientation | I had a question about screen orientation in the Google turn-by-turn navigation app. Previously the screen would orient as you would expect with the maps/arrows pointed in the direction of travel(with a 3D-esque view of what's coming). However of-late(I suspect after an update or so), the maps are always oriented to point north and the app just plots your current location giving you a top- view of the map(as you would see in the normal Google Maps app). Is there any way to change this back to how it previously was? I am using a Droid Incredible running Android 2.3.4(Gingerbread). Also, just to clarify the above post is about the turn-by-turn navigation app(which can be fired up from Google Maps or as a standalone - 'Car Panel' or 'Navigation') and not Google Maps, per se. Any help would be appreciated. TIA. |
36226 | How exactly does operating system update work on Android devices? | Today I have received my first Android device, to be more precise a GOClever Tab A102.2 tablet. I have noticed that it runs as operating system Android 4.0.4 so I though why not update it since the latest one is 4.2? I went to Settings > About > System Update however it asks for a update.zip file which I have to place in NAND or SD card. Searching through the internet I have found that some devices connect to the internet and check for updates when prompted while others need to be updated with vendor specific versions (I guess that's the case for me). Now I wonder, why do some devices need to be updated with vendor specific versions? The way I see it, Android is just an Operating System and thus not tied to the device so theoretically if I wanted I could ditch it in favor of some other operating system (say a linux distro) so whether the update comes from the vendor or not should be irrelevant. Also, can vendor specific versions of Android be updated (through some other means) even though the vendor didn't release an update for it? |
75850 | Is it possible to set or configure the "supported preview sizes"? | Two of my colleagues both have a 8 MP Android phones, but of a different model. Both of them install an app call `Elixir 2` to check on their phone specs. They notice one special spec - `supported preview sizes` under the camera function. Although both of them have the same mega pixel (8 MP) Android phone, they have different `supported preview sizes`. One of them support more `preview sizes` than the other. (Also, they have different `photo quality`, which one of them have 100%, while another is 80%.) So, they were wondering if it is possible to configure this particular setting. |
75851 | Installing Clockwork Mod using .img | I would like to install Clockwork Mod recovery on my Motorola Cliq running Android 2.1. Unfortunately, it seems that the app to install it is no longer available in Market, only in Google Play, but Play doesn't work in 2.1. I was able to download an image, but have no idea what to do with it. Can somebody walk me through the process? Sorry for the basic question but I'm rather new at this. |
75857 | Either downloading images directly to SD card or moving to SD while retaining original time stamps? | I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 with 4.4.2. When I read manga online and save the images the files in a given sequence are generally in a 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. numbered format. When I copy these files from the DOWNLOAD folder to the SD card though it ends up arranging them like 1, 10, 2, etc. regardless of the file manager I use AND it changes the time stamps at the same time so that it's permanently stuck like that. At the worst, I had over 5k images get scrambled and I am NOT looking forward to sorting them out one at a time on a desktop computer. I would like to avoid this problem in the future. I would either like to have them save to the SD card right away, or I would like to be able to have the files retain their original time stamp when moved to the SD card so that I can retain the order of viewing regardless of the name, or both. (Renaming one at a time to 001, 002, 003, etc isn't really an option.) Note: After the update (which AT&T forced on me without my permission), I rooted my phone with towelroot and Superuser and edited permissions to regain the ability to copy without problems, so if there is a solution that requires a root I am ready for it. |

36480 | NFC Peer2Peer Mode - Android Beam - ISO 18092 | I need to find out how in Android Beam the P2P-Mode is managed. I found some general information about P2P: There is an active P2P Mode (not recommended by NFC Forum) and the passive One (recommended by P2P) where passive device works like a SmarTcard (Card emulation mode). I also know that an NFC Reader Device does usually the following steps: Field on Check for a card or a P2P passive device If found then communicate with the device, if not then field off Field off Check for external field for around 500ms-1s at least If external field detected act as a card or P2P passive target. Receive commands and perform the transaction as a target Wait until no more field detected Goto 1 Now my question is, in Android Beam what happens when the 2 phones are put together? 1.) I think they both create the field for scanning, and they both recognize them, by showing then the Android Beam Interface (the smaller windows with the information for sending) 2.) Then, the user types on the screen, and gets the iniator, while the other one goes to the passive receiver. 3.) They pair by P2P passive and change the information over LLCP 4.) The callback is sent to the iniator and the end. I don't know if this is correct, does someone have information herefore? What happens in Android Beam when the 2 smartphones/devices are put together, in which mode are they, and who gets when active/passive and which mode is used (p2p active or passive)? In LLCP there is no Master/Slave so both are master and slave what exactly means this? Thanks for your help! |
75277 | Vold makes my SD card disappear | I flashed a newer (unofficial) version of CM on to my phone, and whenever I try and use this version the SD card disappears moments after it is inserted. The kernel finds the card, vold detects this and does something. I'm not sure what, but it essentially causes the card to disappear from /dev/block before it can be fsck'd. If I run this script, however: while true; do if ls /dev/block | grep mmc; then killall vold fi done The SD remains visible and also mountable, and it also remains mounted after vold has caused its block files to disappear (`/dev/block/mmc*` disappear and `/dev/block/vold/179:*` (the SD card) remains, but in an unusable state, but the mountpoint still writes to the SD card) The card has one fat32 partition that works in TWRP.

37579 | Automatically update all Apps | I have some problems with the update feature for some apps. I cannot update them via Google Play, because there is no "Update" button, only the "Installed" button. However, there is clearly a new version (I've checked the version number of the installed app with the one offered by Google Play). Also, under "My Apps" in Settings, these apps are not listed, even though they are installed and run just fine. What do I have to do, so that ALL apps can be updated, either automatically or manually through Google Play? I am using a Nexus S with Android 4.1.2 installed. Thank you very much for your time! |

I have tried doing the force stop many times when the app is not at all required.Also visited the site for some solution. But when I enable the mobile data I observe that FB messenger was active all the while in the background and I automatically get notifications without activating the app. Any suggestion or help accepted. |
75279 | Does the Play Store app verify the APKs? | Many people (including me) are downloading/installing/updating applications in public networks where we cant be sure of a secure connection without MiTM attacks, does Google's Play Store transmit the APK files over HTTPS?

41219 | Can I remove the gray triangle in the lower right of a contact icon? | I added a contact widget to the home screen of my Droid Razr M (running stock Android 4.1.1), and the icon has a little gray triangle in the lower right corner. Is there a way I can remove that from the image? I see these little triangles in my contacts list also. **Update:** Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing (it took me a bit to figure out how to take it):  If it's any additional help, my contacts don't seem to sync properly, and I don't know why. When I go to _Settings > Accounts - Google > {My account}_ , I see the "refresh" icon next to "Contacts." The last sync date for that item is older than all of the other items on the list. I've manually cleared the "Contacts Storage" data, and did a resync that way, but subsequent sync attempts seem to fail. |
41217 | my samsung galaxy 2 battery is draining to fast! | I have an Samsung Galaxy S2 GT i9100. I have had it for quite a time, but today I noticed something strange: First my battery had not been charging while I was sleeping: when I woke up I had only about 13% charge left. So I put the phone on the charger while I was making breakfeast. When I came back to the phone some time later, it had nearly not charged at all: in fact the phone was using more battery then it was charging. Why is my phone battery's charge dropping when I'm charging? I had this problem the whole day -- it won't charge more then 30%, then suddenly the battery level drops. How can this be solved? |
41215 | What's a quick way to turn on the torch? | In my accessibility settings on my Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus (GT-S7500), there is an "Assistive light" option that "Turn[s] on torch to see better". It activates the light on the back of the device. Is there a way I can activate the light quickly without having to go through the accessibility settings? ps: If someone could tag this with "torch" and possibly also "gt-s7500", that would be great. |
41212 | Blue arrow pointer in Google Maps won't update whichever way I'm facing? | On the Google Maps app, I see a blue arrow pointer. I've seen this on a previous version of maps back in Gingerbread. I think at some point in time, they removed this feature and made it look simply like a circle. But now I see that it's back. However, it seems to be stuck on the same direction regardless if I rotate my phone in whichever way. Android reports on the notification bar that the "Location set by GPS" already so that rules out the possibility that it's still waiting for GPS data. The weird thing is it will sometimes change direction but on random occasions only. Is there a way to force it to re-calibrate or something? I find it really useful back then for navigating places where I'm not familiar with and would like to use it again now. I'm now on Ice Cream Sandwich. Same phone. EDIT: I have downloaded 3rd party compass apps from the Play Store and they work without problems. The phone is ST17i. |
41211 | Cyanogenmod 7 OpenVPN DNS not working | I want to route all the internet traffic of my phone through my VPN. I configured OpenVPN on my htc Desire with Cyanogenmod 7.2.0.1-bravo through the integrated VPN settings dialog. When I activate the Redirect-Gateway option, DNS resolution (e.g. google.com) doesn't work anymore. So not like others where the resolution of there local hostnames doesn't work (that wouldn't be a problem for me). The device hast still a connection to the internet (through the VPN) but it can't resolve domain names anymore. The nameservers look correctly configured (adb shell): # cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4 I've also tested the OpenVPN Settings app but as soon as i add 'redirect- gateway' to the openvpn configuration file I get the same problem. What could cause this problem? |

40162 | Have I lost my phone forever because of samsung firmware? | Okay so I've had my s3 for quiet a while but never actually used it properly until today. First issue was it didn't get past the samsung boot logo, it showed the carriers boot logo( three UK) followed by the samsung one but didn't go any further. I thought oh crap I guess it's time for a reset. I do the usual factory reset through recovery mode. But noticed that it started saying E:/ removed or something. Now not only no network carrier to be seen but stuck in samsung i9300 screen. Boot loop. Next action fire up Odin and see if I can use the link on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610) to get back and downloaded THREE different firmware as I wasn't sure of which one to download as I couldn't access my settings. Next thing I know Odin says pass but it is on this constant loop of green android man and samsung!!! I removed the cable and closed Odin but still stuck on it. I can't access recovery mode only download mode. What do I do guys?! P.s all this time I had no root installed |
40161 | How do I set my Android Nexus 4 via bluetooth MAP to get messages in car | I have a Nexus 4 and I am trying to get it to work with my car computer, and for most parts via Bluetooth it works, especially for audio. I cant get the text messaging part to work, and that has to do with MAP profile for bluetooth. When I had a samsung SIII it worked, but for some reason, with this it doesnt seem to work.. I heard from someone that it may be an issue and you need to install a custom rom. Is that true? Is there any other way around this? |

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and a Galaxy Notes 2. There is no "always use this application" choice (similar to the ones I had when clicking on a link for the first time - which popped up an app panel with a choice of "this time only" or "every time"). Is there a way to force the assignment of an app to an event? Thank you! |

38751 | Changing input format for Android calendar | I have a Nexus 4. For the calendar, you have to scroll to enter a time, which is inconvenient for events starting at :30 (30 minutes past the hour). On the same phone, for the alarm clock, you manually enter the time using a keypad- type display. Is there anyway to use the keypad-type display rather than scrolling for the calendar function? |

18162 | Where did the internal space go on my HTC Desire? | I know this a common problem, but my experience has been a little freakish. I am using an HTC Desire 2.2 and usually try to maintain approximately 40 MB space free. I have installed the bloody gigantic Google+ which took up about 20 MB and there was an option to move it the SD card, which I did. Apparently only some of the 20 MB was moved, I think about 12 MB. Okay no problem, I thought, used Google+ for some time, not my thing, so I uninstalled it and couldn't believe that I'm still short the 8MB of space! My question is where did it go? And can I get it back? 8mb is precious on the Desire. |

38280 | What part of android is responsible for alerts? | Some time ago I customized my Android phone by removing all the bloatware and by setting the permissions for a lot of system apps with lbe security center to a more privacy-friendly state. This included disabling access to my phone number, IMEI, SIM number, Internet access for apps that shouldn't have it, and other things. I only removed which I considered bloatware, such as several Samsung apps, Google junk I didn't need such as search, widget, sync adapters,... And I customized the permissions of for example Google services framework (no SIM number access, and other set to on demand), Android market (no phone number and location), maps (location on demand, no phone number/IMEI)... After that I ran into a problem, namely my calendar alerts don't function properly and I noticed that my alarms don't activate the second time (using galaxy s3 app). The calendar alerts sometimes function correctly but sometimes either not on time or not at all, and I found on the Internet that some people are experiencing the same problems with the calendar and exactly the same way as for when the alerts do work and when they don't. Some apps that seem to rely on the Android system for alerts (such as wordfeud, buienalarm), don't work correctly either. I noticed, but cannot say this for certain, that the alerts do work once or several times after I enable WiFi for the first time (or was it mobile Internet?) I have to mention that apps that have their own alert/notification system do work correctly, such as chaton (using Samsung push app), whatsapp and Trillian. Now I'd like to know if anyone can tell me which app or feature is responsible for these alerts and notifications and/or how to fix this properly. I installed a custom version of the Galaxy S3 Android 4.1.2 ROM of wanamlite using the mobile Odin app but my problems aren't solved. specs : Android 4.1.2 wanamlite Galaxy S3 international I9300 |
5512 | How does power usage for data over WiFi compare to data over 3G? (Ignore LTE for now) | If you have unlimited data over 3G so that cost is no option, which is more power efficient? Using the WiFi or 3G connection for data usage? Extending battery life being the goal |
5515 | How do I change the delay between rings? | I have an HTC EVO Shift running Android 2.2 (Froyo). When I receive an incoming call the ringtone plays constantly.

Short of editing the audio files, is there any way to set the delay between subsequent ringtone cycles? |
537 | Can I turn off wifi, GPS, etc. on Android phone overnight? | I'd like for my Android phone to automatically turn off some features overnight to save battery, and re-enable them in the morning. Among the things I'd like to turn do: * Turn off wifi * Turn off the GPS * Use only 2G data networks I don't need any fancy idle detection. I'd be happy with the ability to do this from, say, 12am to 6am. What Android apps are good for this sort of thing? |
532 | Should I buy a HTC Desire or an Nexus One (in Australia) | I've done some research and there seem to be advantages and disadvantages to each. I'm fairly confident that I can physically run both in Australia, however which will give me the best experience given the mobile bands and technology available here? The main things I'm concerned with: * Reception for phone calls - probably fine in the US, but what about AU? * Data speeds - Are 3G and/or HSDPA available? * Handset speed - specs are similar, but which one actually performs, and will it perform within Australia? |

77826 | How to access bricked phone /system folder? Fix corrupted file | I have a SK504, brazilian phone. Well, i was trying to change my boot animation, but downloaded and installed a corrupted one. So, when i rebooted, the phone shows ANDROID like always, but after, a black screen appears and stays forever. I can acess recovery, and the phone is rooted. No backup. Is there a way to get into the phone trough USB and change the bootanimation.zip file to a valid one? Because i don't want to reset it or install another ROM, unless necessary. Besides the corrupted bootanimation.zip file, i have two more on the /system/media folder, they are bootanimation.old (the original one) and bootanimation(2).zip, a valid one that worked before, so there is no need to transfer something from pc to phone, just rename the files.

39154 | How can I enable/add USB OTG support to my rooted stock LG P500? | I have a rooted LG P500 running stock 2.3.3 with kernel 2.6.35.10. I would like to use USB OTG features and connect a flash drive to my phone. I have a USB OTG cable that I use with my Nexus 7. The same cable and same flash drive doesn't work with my phone. I have tried to install StickMount, but unfortunately it is not compatible with my phone and so is the USB Host diagnostics \- however, their database clearly says P500 does not support USB. Other than going the route of custom ROM, can some thing be done for enabling USB OTG like patching kernels etc? I am not sure even the previous statement is valid, but just thought of asking as in the database under "Rooted API Claims support" column, the value for LGP500 is said as Yes. And, I checked this XDA thread, which also says that the chipset MSM7227 which my phone uses has limited OTG capabilities. Also that thread's title says `Update: Working now`, but I couldn't find anything relevant within its posts. All these just gives me a faint hope. Update: My phone's has three files `libra.ko, librasdioif.ko, wireless.ko` in `/system/lib/modules` |

74843 | Huawei Ascend P7: Problem with Push Notifications | I've just purchased 2 brand-new Huawei Ascend P7 phones and have problems with both: The Push Notifications do not work properly: messages come in delayed, sometimes only when I enter the corresponding app. This is not restricted to a specific app, and occurs on both Wifi and mobile data. I have given all apps push notification permissions within the Notification Manager, I have also disabled Smart Power Saving Mode and enabled always-on mobile data (hope that helps keeping the GCM connection alive). One of my phones already received the new system update to P7-L10V100R001C00B121SP01, the other one is still on L10V100R001C00B116SP3. I've googled a bit, this seems a common problem with those P7s. Any ideas? |
