69313 | Contacts app disappeared | I've got a rooted Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean). Since a week I can't find the contacts app. Seems like it disappeared. It is NOT disabled (I've already checked). I also tried to re-install it, using the .apk placed in /system/app, but the installer fails ("Application not installed"). Does anybody know how to fix, or should I better factory-reset my phone? I know this is a solution, but I'd prefer to fix it... Thanks in advance Giacomo |
69318 | How to flash a kernel image without building Android from source | I got the following msm kernel branch for my Nexus 7(flo) msm/remotes/origin/android-msm-flo-3.4-jb-mr2 added some files and then built an image(zImage). I then downloaded a factory image of Nexus 7 for JB - 4.3 (JSS15R) [This said razor which I dunno why. I thought it was flo] Anyway I took the factory image. Split the boot.img file into the ramdisk.gz and zImage. Then I got the zImage from the kernel I build and replaced it with the zImage from the factory image. The I combined the zImage and ramdsik.gz to create the boot.img and tried to flash it. But the device goes into a bootloop. The zImage works when I build android 4.3-JB from source. But aosp seems to miss some packages I need. I wanted to know what I'm doing wrong and why android goes into a bootloop when I combine it with the factory image |

49618 | Call app needs long time to start | The call app on my Samsung Galaxy Ace takes a really long time to start (about 20 seconds).

49615 | Nexus 4 phone speaker not functioning | The speaker phone of my new Nexus 4 is not working. I am able to hear the calls without the speaker phone, but on switching to speaker mode I hear voice from speaker for a fraction of second and then I hear no voice and it shifts back to speaker off mode even though it shows that the speaker is on. I have no problem otherwise in the hearing on speaker as I am able to listen to music etc. I tried reformatting my phone and it solved the problem temporarily, but the problem reoccurred within a few days. My phone is only a month old, and is fully updated to Android 4.2.2. Is there a permanent solution to this? |
49335 | How is usb debugging mode related to root detection? | I have a game in my GalaxyS2(i9100) that if it detects the phone is rooted, it terminates. My phone is rooted but I still can play this game using OTA RootKeeper to temporary unroot the phone. I would like to use some apps that required usb debugging mode enabled when I play the game, however, the game terminates as if it detects the phone is rooted. I have some friends that they can play the game with USB Debugging mode enabled (although their phones are not rooted). So I bet its because usb debugging mode enabled would do something affecting root detection. How the usb debugging mode enabled affect root detection and how to solve that? |

1932 | Can I make home screen contact icons update their picture? | I was just wondering if anyone knows how to make contact icons on the home screen update their picture when the contact's picture is changed, without needing to delete the shortcut and recreate it. Can this be done? Make the contact-shortcut's picture "live" as it were? e.g. some of my contacts are linked to Facebook and their pictures on their contact records sync as expected, but the shortcut on the home screen will still show whatever their picture was when the shortcut was created. I thought maybe rebooting the phone would cause it to refresh the icons, but it didn't. Running on a non-rooted Galaxy S Captivate. |

58162 | External SD Will Not Mount | Just installed EOS v199 (a ROM from xda) on my Motorola Xoom tablet, and I find that it will not mount the external SD card. I've found that the ext SD device is at `/dev/block/platform/sdhci- tegra.2/mmcblk0p1`. When I manually mount that in Terminal, I can ls -al it at /storage/sdcard1. So in / I symlink it to /sdcard-ext and reboot, but the system still doesn't see any of it. Settings|Storage doesn't see the card, nor does ES FileManager, or Titanium. /system/etc/vold.fstab had it set to: dev_mount microsd /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmc_host/mmc1 ... but there is no mmc_host under sdhci, so I changed that to: dev_mount microsd /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmcblk0 ... and rebooted, but it didn't help. ls -al shows mmcblk0 permissions as root rw....... but ES File Manager Properties shows it as root rw.rw.rw. . Anyone know why? |
58161 | Keyboard punctuation | I just updated my phone (Galaxy S3) and I don't like the new way auto prediction works, it keeps trying to predict the next word instead of giving me quick access to the punctuation. Does any one know if there is a way to have the auto prediction just give you a list of punctuation once you hit the space bar instead of trying to guess the next word? When I originally got my phone last year when ever I finished texting a word and hit the space bar, the auto prediction bar would show all my punctuation and that was great. Than I did an update a several months ago, and the auto prediction started giving me next word predictions instead, the only way I could find around that was to double tab the space bar, than hit backspace/delete, and that would allow my auto prediction to once again show the punctuation available. It was a few extra clicks but at least it was still quick access to punctuation and didn't slow down the flow to much. But with this latest update auto prediction only seems to give word suggestions, I can't find anyway to make it show me punctuation. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks all. |
58167 | After activating the device encryption on my S2 running CM 10.2 nightly, my CDMA radio stopped working | I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (Sprint, codename d710), and I just installed the latest CM nightly (10.2). Everything worked until I encrypted the device. Now the radio doesn't work (network: UNKNOWN, no service, etc.). I looked at each of the mobile network settings and didn't find anything; I also tried about 10 different modem updates (packaged as .zip, installed through Clockwork Mod). I verified that it happens immediately after an encrypt from a fresh install of CM nightly 10.1-2013-11-17. Is there anything to do short of wiping and reinstalling? What's the source of the problem, and how can I prevent it from happening again? |

13230 | How do I improve photograph quality on my HTC Desire? | I think that I have my HTC Desire on the highest quality settings for taking pictures, but the quality of the photographs is awful. Is that a weakness of the Desire, or is there something that I can do to improve things? In response to @George_Gaal's comment below I have uploaded two pictures. The top one was taken quite a long time ago and the quality is fine.  This one was taken last week and is completely out of focus. I wonder if I haven't inadvertently changed some settings? My phone did have to get a new board after it overheated. Could it be something to do with that?  |

54311 | WhatsApp contact has wrong name associated with it in contacts (but correct name within WhatsApp itself) - How to fix? | In setting up my new Samsung S4 mini one contact (guy) got confused with another (girl). When the girl would phone me, I'd see the guy's picture (via google) and name. Somehow I changed the number and saved the girl as a separate new entry.

17172 | Taking a screenshot in ICS without rooting | Is it possible to take a screenshot in ICS (Galaxy Nexus) without external apps and without rooting? Most apps on the market seem to require rooted phones. I did find this app which claims to not require the phone to be rooted but it costs $4.99 which is a bit steep for an app that only takes screenshots. |

59698 | Is Nexus 7 2013 LTE usable as a phablet? | I've stepped into a B&M the other day, and they had Nexus 7 in stock; I've realised how small it is, and it occurred to me that it might be usable as a phablet. Other than being unable to use voice over 2G/3G (and 4G?), and size distinctions, are there any other features that are different between Nexus 7 and Nexus 5, especially as far as phone usage would be concerned? |
79060 | Help me reinstall Gapps in my Rooted Xperia SP | Recently, I rooted my Xperia SP (running on Stock Jellybean 4.3). Out of excitement, I uninstalled a few Google Apps (gapps) from my phone. But I think I require the Play Store. How can I **reinstall Gapps** on my phone? Let me clearly explain you my **current status →** for uninstalling those apps, I used ES File Manager (Root Explorer-->Uninstall System App). Though some apps like the play store, gmail, facebook etc. were uninstalled, I found that apps like google account manager, google backup transport cannot be completely uninstalled. So, now I have an incomplete set of Gapps. I compared this list of **essential** gapps with my file manager's system apps' list and found only SetupWizard.apk missing. So, I downloaded SetupWizard.apk from here and tried to install using ADB but I got this error: `[INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]`. Another interesting thing is that when I try to install SetupWizard.apk using my file manager, I get these screens, out of which the **first screen suggests that Setup Wizard is already installed** in my phone. What the heck is all these, man???   Now, I am a total newbie to flashing and other super-geek things, so I am pretty scared to flash the gapps' zip using CWM. Please give me an alternative way, if possible. |
59696 | Is there a TRUE brightness controlling app? | I need to set my brightness below what Android allows me, and thus I'm testing a bunch of "dimming" apps. What they all have in common though is that they put on a filter over other apps so while they protect your eyes they do nothing to get you more battery life. Is there an app that has low-level access to the screen brightness so that when you go beyond the default minimum brightness it actually gets you more battery life? RootDim might be fitting, but I need something without root access. |
40874 | Android input language adding phonetic variation | I'm looking to add a Russian Phonetic keyboard layout to the default list of input layouts in Jellybean 4.2.2. Going into Settings->Language & Input->Keyboard & Input Methods/Android Keyboard->Input Languages On that menu I see Russian, but it is the standard Russian keyboard which doesn't have Russian letters mapped to the English QWERTY layout. There apps that do this but I lose the gesture typing capabilities for example. I was hoping there was a way of adding a Russian (Phonetic) layout to the list by somehow modifying the standard Russian layout and readding it as a phonetic variation. |

40870 | Repartitioning internal storage and installing custom roms on ZTE Blade GEN2 | I have a ZTE Blade phone, which was sold in Hungary with Android 2.1 and GEN1 radio (Ask Mr. Pigfish said so). About a year ago I updated it with the official 2.2 update released by T-Mobile (the operator). Here is a link to it (the site is hungarian): http://www.t-mobile.hu/lakossagi/keszulekek/szoftverfrissites/telefon/zte_blade_2 Basically the update installed Froyo (2.2). I was content with this. I have also rooted my phone with z4root. Installed a few apps that benefitted from it. Now I decided to install Swedish Snow as it seems to be a stable and fast ROM which also preserves battery reasonably. I have decided to go with the "All-in-one TPT installation method", as it does the following: * Updates from GEN1 to GEN2 layout * Repartitions internal storage to 128mb /system, 326mb /data, 2mb /cache, 0,1mb /oem. This is a very big plus as the current 220mb /system, 162mb /data, etc... does not allow for a lot of applications (even with moving apps to the SD cart). * Installs ClockWorkMod 4.0.1.5. I need a ROM manager for custom roms. * Installs Swedish Snow RLS7 After backing up all my data (I did not back up the ROM, just my personal data) and verifying the files with AFV I decided it it all set to go. The image folder is in place, I just need to install it's contents. I wiped all my data, switched the phone off, pulled out the battery, and switched it back on with menu and volume up held. But nothing happened. The phone booted up regularly. I have tried it like 10 times, but the phone still booted up regularly. After a while I gave up and installed TPT Helper as it was suggested somehere. I also installed Blade Checker, and it told me that my phone looks like it's a Stock/Windows updated GEN2! What? It was clearly GEN1 a while ago, and I have a feint recollection that Mr Pigfish said it's still GEN1 after I installed the official update (though I'm not sure now). I redownloaded Mr Pigfish and it was also telling me it's a GEN2. Well OK. If it's a GEN2 it is. The official update might have to do something about it. **Is this possible?** So **how do I install Swedish Snow on a GEN2 phone?** I have to do all the steps manually now. Repartitioning the internal storage? How it is done? Will the stock rom still work after I repartition the storage (by downloading and installing the Gen2v1a package (128 system, 311 data, 2 cache) through TPT Helper)? If not how do I install the new ROM at the same time I repartition my storage? Should I even dare to repartition it? What version of ClockWorkMod do I install on my phone and when? Before repartitioning? I think this is what I'm looking for but not sure. What is the most robust way of doing this? There are a lot of tutorials for a lot of related stuff on the internet and they tend to directly contradict each other so I'm not very confident after reading them. I basically want to install Swedish Snow and possibly repartition my internal storage (if it is relatively straightforward and not unreasonably risky). |

59340 | Connect android device to server in emulator | **Background** I've been search AE, SO and Google for many hours and found many examples of people wanting to connect their PC to the emulator. I've also run across some that wish to connect their device to their server on a PC. I want to connect my device, to an emulator running on a PC. I've tried the examples given in the documentation but I still haven't gotten this to work. I would like to have my device (real device, Nexus 7) create a Hotspot that my PC is connected to. In the PC, an emulator is running that has a socket open on port 40000. I'm getting ECONNREFUSED errors when trying to connect my device to the emulator. Here's what I'm doing: **Connecting device to emulator (through PC)** Device tries to create a Socket connection to the emulator through the PC. The IP of my PC is 192.168.43.198 so that is what the device use as destination IP. The connection fails however, with an ECONNREFUSED message. **Forwarding using ADB and telnet** On the PC I've tried to forward port 40000 to the emulator using: `adb forward tcp:40000 tcp:40000` and `redir add tcp:40000:40000` over telnet to the emulator. When running the adb forward command I get a listening port on the PC as such: `TCP 127.0.0.1:40000 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING`. Notice that the listening IP is 127.0.0.1. When running the `redir` command, I can see no listening port using netstat. **Testing connection from device to PC** To test the connection "parts", I've used `SocketTest` (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sockettest/) on my PC. If I use it as a server, listening on port 40000. Then my device connects to it just fine using 192.168.43.198:40000. **Testing connection from PC to emulator** When using SocketTest as a client to connect to 127.0.0.1:40000 it also connects fine to the emulator. _However, when using the external IP: 192.168.43.198, SocketTest also gets connection refused!_ **Possible problems** It seems to me that my PC doesn't realise it should route 192.168.43.198:40000 to 127.0.0.1:40000 although the commands I've entered claim to do so in the docs (http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/emulator.html#redirection and http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html#forwardports) Firewall is turned off. |

63481 | How does Android determine if it has an Internet connection? | My Nexus 10 (Android 4.4.2, unrooted) is not playing nice with my wireless network. Although it can connect and I don't have any problems browsing the web, for some reason Android thinks that it doesn't have an internet connection. As a result, the wifi icon in my Quick Settings is dimmed to orange, and, more importantly, apps seem to be unable to check for updates in the background (e.g. I have no problems opening Gmail and manually checking for mail, but Gmail won't give me notifications while running in the background until I'm on a different network). This issue usually only happens on one particular wireless AP in my house, so I believe the problem lies with that AP rather than with Android itself. But I don't know how Android determines whether or not it has an internet connection, so I can't do much to try to solve the problem. I've heard that Android checks with Google services to test for internet connectivity, but given that I'm not having trouble using Google services otherwise, I don't know what the problem could be (well, the YouTube app seems to take an unusually long time to load video metadata, but that might not be related). So, _exactly_ what does Android do to determine whether it has internet or not? What might be causing that check to fail while not affecting anything else? Thanks! |
55442 | How do I fix my NATPC M010SE (Allwinner A13) touchscreen/WiFi/camera? | My tablet wasn't booting at all but my dad managed to install this firmware update, now the touchscreen doesn't work, or the WiFi, or the (front) camera. Any help? I've tried installing some TS drivers but these are designed for a specific Jelly Bean ROM, not ICS (which my tablet runs on). I've tried flashing the suggested the Faaast JB ROM suggested in the forum post where I found the TS drivers but I can't seem to get into update mode (and I've tried holding down the volume up button and then the power button and then plugging in the USB connection and pressing the power button lots or just holding it down - I've also tried `sudo adb reboot-bootloader` with the device connected but it just reboots it, not into the bootloader.) Edit #1: I can get into the bootloader with the command previously mentioned but it is in Chinese...can anyone give me a link to a translation somewhere? Because Chinese doesn't use the Latin alphabet I don't think I'll be able to type it into Google Translate... Edit #2: Windows 8 doesn't have a driver to connect to the device and I have no idea how to get it. Can I flash the ROM using Ubuntu (because Ubuntu can detect the device)? |

55440 | Does Google back-up application settings? | In `Settings > Backup & reset` there is a "Back up my data" option under which it says "Back up app data...". Does it really work? Because I got into one of those "boot loops" and had to do a factory reset. After that I re-installed the apps I had previously installed, but the application settings were not restored by Google. Do I need to do anything? |

8413 | Galaxy 5: GPS always stops working after phone has been in standby | My new Samsung Galaxy 5 (also named Galaxy i5500, and running (android 2.1) has some GPS issue. The GPS works fine (i.e. it can find satellites when I use the app GPS Test.) directly after powering up my phone. However, as soon as the phone has been in standby, the GPS no longer can find any satellites. After restarting the device, the GPS is working again until the next standby. The device has been upgraded to the latest firmware using Samsung Kies, and following Samsung's support advice I have already performed a factory reset. Is there something that can be done to fix this (apart from waiting for Samsung Support's follow-up)? **Edit** : I _think_ this androidforums post describes the problem and solution (still have to test it) quite well. |

50549 | Use SIM-only contacts with Nexus 4 | I have bought an Android phone. My first And phone ever. It's Nexus 4. I Had SonyEricsson K800i before and i was satisfied with it. I got new phone only because my company gave me money for it (it was a reward) and i tougth it would be fun to have something "just like K800 with capabilites to offer better 3D games". Now, i'm kind of disappointed because, contrary to my old phone, it turns out that i must have some sort of online account in order to use my phone properly. What do i mean? Well, first of all i have all my contacts on my SIM card and i don't want to change that, but in order to show those contacts on my phone, i have to "sync" them / add them (or whatever) with some online service like FB or gmail. Tell me, if i just want to use my phone only for games, casual browsing the web (i don't even have wireless at my home), sms and calls - how do i avoid syncing ANYTHING with ANYTHING online? I don't have Twitter, Picasa nor Instagram, i'm barely using FB (once in 10 days i check for new messages when i'm on my home PC), i have a "fake" gmail account (opened just so i can use "Google Play" from my office and register at sites i need for one time visit only. For true emails i'm using only my mailbox that i got from my ISP 15 years ago), i don't want to merge and "bundle" any of my contacts from the phone with any social network but with Android i have a problem "isolating" my phone from any online activities. Please, tell me, how to make my Nexus 4 (with Android 4.3) use ONLY my SIM contacts, save new contacts to the SIM card only and not asking me to tie any contact with any online service? :) Also, i don't want even to see "gmail" contacts (if any) in my contacts list because contact with only mail address is useless to me (i'm never sending an email from my phone). |
50548 | moving a contact to the bottom of the list | I have a Galaxy Note 2 with CM 10.2 and gapps installed. I keep my contacts in Google and synchronize them to the phone. This works fine. I would like to move selected contacts to the bottom of the list (usually service contacts which I want to have handy but "on the side") In other words in my list of contacts I would like to move from Adam Green Bank Claire Jones to Adam Green Claire Jones Bank I tried to prefix Bank (in the example above) with various symbols (`_`, `~`, `|`) but even though they are before or after normal lettres in ASCII, such entries always end up (grouped) at the **top** of the list. Any idea how to move them to the bottom? (short of prefixing them with `ZZZ`) |
9805 | How do I disconnect Bluetooth headset while in call | Does anyone know how to disconnect from a Bluetooth headset/handsfree device while in a call? Sometimes when I'm getting into my car while on a call, the handsfree in the car will take over the call before I'm ready to hand the call off. I've been turning off the Bluetooth to take the call back, but that is cumbersome, my palm phone before had an option on the call screen whenever on a call with Bluetooth to simply disconnect the hands free device. |
66451 | "Message Not Sent." | I'm on Edge connection because I have a third party device which I love. It's pretty fast most of the time, but today I think something happened. Android (4.2) keeps telling me "Message Not Sent" whenever I try sending a text. I even whiped my phone and it's still happening.. Like I said, it's on Edge but most of the time it isn't that slow. Not like this, at least. Why do I keep getting that error message? I open Dolphin Browser, goes straight to any URL I type in. Weird that texts specifically are acting strange. Quite slow, but at least it works. Texts don't. |

61108 | How do I get a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids to preference the SD card? | My son's Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids edition is running low on space after I added several applications. I added a micro SD card (external card) to compensate for storage. I confirmed I was capable of standard Read-Write-Delete tasks against files on the external card from within the standard files app. Unfortunately, I discovered that the system is unable to move applications to the external card (the option is simply never offered!). I'm also having problems setting various applications (camera, music, etc.) to preference storing their data to the external card rather than the internal card. Android version 4.1.2, Model number SM-T2105. How can I best leverage using the external SD card? |
22502 | How do I enable the password/pattern lock on HTC 2.3.5 (Sense) mobile? | I have an HTC (Sense UI) mobile running Android 2.3.5 and I am trying to enable the password/pattern lock but it is not working.

22503 | Connect a portable USB modem (data card) with Samsung Galaxy S II | Is it possible to connect and use portable USB modems such as Reliance net connect, MTS, etc., using an OTG cable with Samsung Galaxy S II and use it? I went through many forums and haven't got any promising answer. I'm currently using Android version 4.0.3 along with SiyahKernel 3.0. In this kernel, I'm able to connect flash drives, mouse and keyboard. |
61104 | How can I test if my GPS has a hardware problem? | Some days ago, my GPS stopped working. It doesn't lock, no matter how long I leave it on. I've read this question but had no luck. Sometimes it reports that it found one GPS satellite available, but most of the time it gets none. I also read about stability test, but is doesn't seem to report GPS problems. So, is there any test I can perform to detect if I really have a hardware GPS problem? My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S2, with android 4.2. |
22509 | How to mount the internal storage of the Droid 3? | My father just got a Droid 3, and it has something like 12 or 16 gigs of internal storage. I'm trying to mount that storage to his laptop so he can transfer over music, but I'm not getting the USB Mount prompt that I've come to expect with my own Incredible 2. The phone does have a Micro-SD slot underneath the battery cover, and I guess we could put music on one of those and then stick it in the phone, but that'd be a hassle whenever he wants to put more music on, and I find it hard to believe that that entire 16 gigs is reserved for app space. |
26474 | Jelly Bean OTA Update failing on Nexus S ("assert failed") | I've got a Nexus S phone. It was never rooted or modified. It currently runs the most recent version of Ice Cream Sandwich (that was installed as an Over The Air update, without any issues). Couple of days ago I received a notification from my phone about Jelly Bean upgrade being available. Unfortunately every time I try to install it there is a problem. The phone reboots and starts the upgrade process, but after about 30 seconds it stops and displays an image of a red triangle with an exclamation mark. When I press power+volume up to see what happened, this is the message it displays: > Finding update package... > > Opening update package... > > Verifying update package... > > Verifying current system... > > assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/etc/gps.conf", " _[random letters > and numbers - probably a hash]_ ", " _[different combination of random > letters and numbers]_ ") > > E:Error in /cache/9ZGgDXDi.zip > > (Status 7) > > Installation Aborted. I tried "wipe data / factory reset" and "wipe cache partitions" options, but the issue persists. |
26476 | Ringer and Notification Volume | Before icecream sandwich, on my HTC I was able to make my notification volume on zero (so it would vibrate) while my ringer was at full volume. Now with icecream sandwich the ringer and notification volumes are to be set at the same level. Is there any way to put the notification volume back to vibrate while there is still volume for the ringer? |
26477 | Cannot take pictures without SD card inserted. Any solutions? | I have no SD card in my Android phone's SD card slot. Therefore I cannot take any photos or upload any. I have tried installing other camera apps to see if one of them might have its own storage but really none of them have worked (all need an SD card to store their files on). Does anyody know any apps for taking pictures that do not need an SD card and have self storage? Or is there even an option? |
26472 | Spelling correction language | I have installed Team EOS's version of ICS on my Motorola Xoom. I'm missing some languages in the spelling correction. Just to clarify, this is the setting I'm speaking of: `Settings -> Language & input -> "Settings icon" on the right of Spelling correction -> "Globe icon" on the left of Android correcton` The only languages available is: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Is it possible to add more languages (Danish for example)? |
52946 | Start with Second Tablet on Google Play | My old tablet was a LePan II from QVC. It quit on me. It wasn"t worth the money to have a pro look at/repair it. So, I got a Proscan PLT9045K (from ShopNBC). After I got it charged, I went straight to Google Play, but I do not see how to add a new device. I understand that there's not really a way to delete the original device from my account (and if there is I'd like some help there). How can I connect my new tablet with my existing Google Play account. I really don't want to set up a new gmail. |
60549 | No menu entry for mobile network mode after installing CyanogenMod | My phone doesn't get a mobile signal anymore after installing CyanogenMod 10.1.3-i9100 on my Samsung Galaxy S 2. The IMEI is the same as printed in the battery compartment, Wi-Fi is working fine, and it finds mobile network operators, but even after setting it to "Choose automatically" it doesn't connect. When I try to phone someone, it says "Mobile network not available." According to a CyanogenMod FAQ there should be an option Settings → Wireless & Networks → More → Mobile Networks → _Network Mode_ , but there is no such option. In "Wireless & networks" I see the following: * Aeroplane mode * VPN * Tethering & portable hotspot * Mobile networks * Mobile broadcasts In "Mobile networks" I see the following: * Data enabled (checked) * Data roaming (unchecked) * National data roaming (checked) * Access Point Names * Use only 2G networks (unchecked) * Network operators According to the Android Testing Menu (`*#*#4636#*#*` → Phone information) the network type changes between "HSDPA" and "GPRS". I'm not sure if the "Set preferred network _type_ " setting is the same thing as the "network _mode_ ", but changing it from the original "WCDMA preferred" to "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)" doesn't seem to help (tried restarting radio afterwards as well). |
60859 | Native USB tethering of wifi (not mobile data) | I would like to know if later versions of Android natively support USB tethering of the phone's wifi connections. If so, after which version? I know that there are custom ROMs that allow you to use the phone's wifi connections via USB tethering. I'm asking if this functionality comes out of the box for all manufacturer ROMs as well. |

32446 | Google contact sync photo rotated | I have enabled contact sync with my Google account on my Google Nexus phone running Android 4.1.2.

32442 | Jurisdictions where camera shutter sound is mandated by law | I found some claims that it is illegal to disable the shutter sound on phone cameras in some countries. However, I found few reliable references on the matter. Do you know of any laws in your part of the world that mandate the loud clicking sound every time you take a picture? Here is what I was able to find: **Japan:** ?? (seems device manufacturers voluntarily made shutter sounds mandatory; found no references to an actual law) **South Korea:** 64-decibel shutter sound mandated by law since 2004 (secondary source; could not find a primary source in English) **EU:** ?? (found no references) **USA:** ?? (there was a bill proposed in 2009, but it did not pass) **Help me determine the legality of turning off the camera shutter sound in various countries / states.** PS. There is an obvious tension here between (1) my freedom, as the device owner, to turn off the shutter sound, and (2) my expectation of privacy, i.e. that others will not take pictures of me in public without my knowledge / consent. This question is NOT about whether (1) trumps (2) -- that is subjective. And yes, I know you can disable the shutter sound if your root your phone. This question is ONLY about where the legal boundary lies in various parts of the world. |
32443 | Where can I find hidden wallpapers on Nexus 7? | I used to have this picture as Nexus 7's wallpaper, but the desktop restored to a blank wallpaper after I killed the UI process a few weeks ago. I tried to bring back this picture but it was no where in the wallpaper collection. Meanwhile, the gallery does not have this particular picture. As I searched for this picture on Google, I found there're other people who use it as their Android wallpaperhere. Therefore, I suspect that this picture should have come with Nexus 7's pre-built bundle. Moreover, I honestly didn't remember I deliberately downloaded it from somewhere else in the first place. So, Nexus 7 or other android device owners, could you please check your wallpaper collection and let me know if you find it there? Also, if anyone knows where to obtain it, could you please let me know as well? Many thanks. P.S. This is post is totally about my android device and what I'm trying to solve is an issue caused by Nexus 7. Android users are the mostly like group to help, so please don't downvote it for close.  |

75424 | Normal behaviour of Quad Core Android device? Is mine normal? | I have a MINIX X7 Pro, with 2GB Ram and 16 GB ROM Quad Core 1.6 Ghz, which seems to me a very powerful device available on the market though now may not be the high-end end. What surprises me though.. even when on Idle I saw pretty much plenty of CPU resources taken up !! some 40-60++ percent of CPU power were consumed, and 50-70% of the plentiful 2GB Ram on a daily basis.. it might not be much if it's on a Windows device.. but I assumed Android had a better management of memory and core processing efficiency which lead to much slender design of ROM and Ram! What I want to know what is causing it to freeze frequently, whenever I browse the internet using any browsers alike (Opera , stock, etc) but most frequently when on the Mozilla firefox it's causing the service to stall or even freeze, occasional restarting on its own and even rebooting (PC restart!!). And some really pesting persisting software which would pop out of nowhere... esp the PLAYstore which keep on flashing now and then, informing new and trending softwares (which I don't find it useful other than fanciful). Is there a way to permanently shut this off? I have tried many task killer (I used 7Zipper) to turn off but it's a no go for Playstore.. CleanMaster and 360 Security as well.. well, the thing is.. when I'm on the net the figure would shot up to 100 % for the CPU consumption and up to 90%+ for the memory usage !! Is there a bug on the RK3188 chipset that causes it? and are there any blunders to ward off these shortcomings, like a Kitkat update of the stock or even customized softwares, designed specifically to address these issues? Please leave your thoughts and recommendations, dear power users!! Thanks!! :-D PS: this is the 5th time I wrote on the firefox and it restarted quite the same behaviours as I described/ mentioned above..what a chore !! X_X |

72921 | Samsung galaxy s4 audio static issue | I just upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S4 and I'm noticing a distracting static sound both in headphones and through the built in speaker. I notice it overlaid on the audio itself but it's very faint and it doesnt really bother me. However, it becomes distracting because whenever there is a pause and silence, right before the audio starts up again there is a burst of static leading in. This is not much of an issue for music but where it really makes a difference is when listening to audiobooks or podcasts because every time someone pauses and starts again the static is very noticeable. Is this a common problem? Is it fixable? Should I just return my phone to the store for a different one? Thanks! |
