44846 | Sync Office 365 (Exchange) calendar with Android | I have a Nexus 4 and an Office 365 account. I cannot setup sync between Office 365 exchange server and the Android builtin Exchange account manager (called "corporate" in Android settings). What happens is that Android settings seems to approve my input of Exchange information from Office 365 including username, password and server host, but then no sync of Email, Calendar, Contacts etc. takes place. I've tried 3rd party apps such as MailDroid, Touchdown, RoadSync and RemoSync work. Of these, only Maildroid is great but doesn't have calendar support. Touchdown and the others are very clunky, and I've no particular desire to try anything else unless someone can make a strong recommendation. What I'd really like to do is use the native Google calendar app with my Office 365 account. Is anyone able to help me get that working? |

47635 | Digital magazines on google play/android Market: does it work like Apple newsstand? | I apologize if I may seem a bit confused but actually I need some direction to make up my mind about digital magazines publication on google play /android markets. I'm comparing to the Apple store/ Apple newsstand just because I already know the general work flow on iOS devices. I'm from Italy and I see the google play magazines has been enabled lately in for my country. Last week it wasn't available. So questions are: If i have a Android device where am I supposed to search for digital publications? (I ask the above since I can't find the same famous publications I find on Apple Store) Is there a counterpart of newsstand? |

69873 | Apps are not running in the background in certain networks | When hangouts, Gmail or other apps that receive messages are not active, they are staying suspended. For instance, in hangouts I will only receive pending chat when opening the respective chat window. This happens at home but not in my university. I connect to eduroam at home and in school, but at home we have some restrictions (like most ports are unavailable) Is this a problem with Android or my network or both? Any workarounds? |
63626 | photo backup and google play services | On my 80 dollar straight talk phone i deleted google play services. somehow that erased all of my photos. i put the application back on. I've been trying for two hours to find out how to get my photos back. I'm unable to figure it out. I was fairly certain google had all my photos stored online somewhere or something. Is there any way to get my photos back? I re-installed google play services. google + won't connect to the server. so i can't get anywhere. What do i do now? |
69879 | Install older version of apk on to newer installed version or root SH-06E 1.00.08 | Is it possible to install an older version of an app (via `.apk`), when a newer version is already installed on the device – without rooting and patching system with Lucky Patcher or previously uninstalling the newer version? ### Some background This may be a weird question. I'm having the situation that I want to root Sharp SH-06E firmware 1.00.08, as described in this blog post. Firmware newer than 1.00.07 has new root protection. This new root protection involved preventing installation of hacked `VpnFaker.apk` to data partition. Hacked VpnFaker is required for rooting process. The blog says that root is possible if VpnFaker is already installed (used to root on firmware older than 1.00.08), but VpnFaker in data partition on my phone is removed during firmware update. (I was on 1.00.01, root, then unroot to update firmware) Sharp has a lot of root protection, even on firmware older than 1.00.08, the rooting process uses a workaround that mounts system image file in data partition on boot instead of directly writing file to system partition. VpnFaker is indeed VpnDialogs of Android System 4.0.4, while newer version installed in system partition is version 4.2.2-1.00.08. ### Final question So, is there a way to sign 4.0.4 VpnFaker to have the same signature as 4.2.2 VpnDialogs. Here is the link to the files. |

11515 | How to copy files from tablet to PC - Not all files show up in PC | When I connect my Xoom to my PC via USB cable I get a Xoom "Portable Media Player" showing up in my Windows Explorer. When I browse the drive, I can only see half the folders compared to if I browse the SD card directly from within Astro file manager on the Xoom. Why aren't all files and folders showing up? In Android (3.2), I've tried copying a file from a "hidden" folder to a folder that I can actually see on the PC but the file does not show up. Someone suggested it was because it didn't get mounted as "USB Mass Storage". How can I copy the files? (same functionality works fine from my HTC Desire) |
65177 | Can I use Tethering to Access Internet on Desktop PC using Kindle Fire HD with PDANet? | So I heard of PDANet, an android/desktop app used to access internet on computers by tethering android phones. I'm using android, but it's a Kindle Fire HD tablet. I have a newer computer that hosts the WiFi for my Kindle Fire HD, and an older computer in another room that has no internet access. I don't want to run an ethernet cord from one room to another. I have the PDANet 3.02 desktop installer and android installer. Does this only work with Google Android phones? Or could I install PDANet on my old computer and my kindle fire HD, connect my kindle via usb, and use tethered internet on the computer? Soon I'm ordering a WiFi PCI Adapter so I can access WiFi on my old pc, but in the meantime I'd like to tether it to my Kindle Fire HD if it is possible. I don't know if this is relevant, but I'm using an HP Pavilion a1010n running Windows XP Professional SP3. |

51960 | Is there anyway to backup current ROM without unlocking bootloader/ installing clockworkmod recovery? | I'm trying to use ROM Manager app to backup the current ROM of my Xperia Z but it seems that cannot be done without unlocking the bootloader/ installing ClockWorkMod Recovery. Is there any alternative for me to backup current ROM and flash another ROM without having to mess with bootloader or ClockWordMod Recovery? Note that my device is already rooted using this method. According to Sony's website, messing with the bootloader is likely to void warranty which defeats my purpose and so all my attempts to backup the stock ROM here. |
5972 | Are the HTC Desire HD video issues solved yet/solvable by the end user? | I'm considering getting an Android phone, and at the moment, my choice is between the HTC Desire and the HTC Desire HD. As the price difference is minimal, the obvious choice would be the newer one, but some reviews have mentioned video issues on the device. Since that looks like an issue that could be solved in software, and that review was written at the time of release. Are these issues still present on fully update HTC Desires, and can they be solved if they are? |
5971 | Stop auto-scroll in Android browser! | I'm on a web page on my Android phone. When I select a text input, the browser scrolls (about a quarter-screen every 10 seconds). I don't know what causes this -- it doesn't look like any keys are stuck. Further, it cancels the on-screen keyboard, so it's very hard to type. This is _highly_ bothersome. Can anyone help me before I destroy my phone out of pure aggravation? |

It may be related to the fact that Words With Friends was moved to my data originally. How do I get past this and/or re-purchase ultimate pack and other items? I have a few apps that I want back on my phone. Will I have to re-purchase them or is there a way get re-installed with or without repurchasing? |
51965 | How can I get Google Voice Actions to recognize monetary amounts? | I'm using a Nexus 4 running Android 4.3. I would like to be able to have Google Voice Actions recognize monetary amounts properly when adding a reminder, for example. Currently the best output I have been able to get is "$123 45 cents", rather than "$123.45". I have tried phrases such as "one hundred twenty-three dollars and 45 cents", "one hundred twenty-three point four five", "one hundred twenty-three period four five" (which became "123. 45"), and more. Is there some speech format I need to be observing to make this work, and if not, is there a way that I can train or otherwise force Google Voice Actions into recognizing these monetary amounts? |
5974 | is it possible to use a CA-Cert for serverauthentification in WPA enterprise networks with android 2.2+? | I just wanted to know if it is possible with android 2.2+ to use a ca-cert for server auth in WPA-Enterprise networks? A fried told me it is not possible, but this would mean there would be a mayor security hole in every android device, so I would like to know it for sure now: did they removed this important security feature or not? I would check it by myself, but unfortunately I don't have a android 2.2 or 2.3 device. |
60524 | Where did my 16gb of memory go? | I am not educated on Android enough to figure this out on my own. My problem began New Year's Eve with error messages saying device memory was full. My Galaxy S2 Skyrocket began to lag and wouldn't allow me to access photos or contacts. It would freeze. I'd remove the battery when it would get stuck restarting. I looked in "Storage" and found that the device's memory is only 1.97gb. Then I noticed that there was 11.26gb going to USB storage. Where did my memory go? I was told by a tech friend that I may have a "hidden partition." I appreciated a very basic, non-technical explanation on how to fix this. Thanks. |
69294 | Using a local file in dolphin bookmarklet | I've got a local font file on my sdcard. I can open it fine with dolphin browser (it changes the `file://storage/sdcard/` to `content://mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser.htmlprovider/storage/sdcard` but it still works). I'm using it in a javascript bookmarklet which can change the font of a particular website. It injects in CSS with the `@font-face` rule like so @font-face { font-family: CustomFontName; src: url("content://mobi.theRestOfThePath.otf"); } I've made sure the bookmarklet works with a dropbox link to the file, so it's not a problem with the rest of the bookmarklet or with the font file. I've tried replacing the `content://theRestOfThePath` with `file://theRestOfIt` and also with `/storage/theRest` but those don't work either. Is it possible? |
69297 | Nexus 4 does not wake up from Sleep randomly | I have a Nexus 4 running stock rom kit kat 4.4.2. There were few instances, in which when the phone goes to sleep, I see the notification light blinking indicating a new email/message, but it doesn't wake up when I press the power button. I have to soft reboot the phone {press the power button for 5 seconds to turn it off, then turn on}to use it again. This happens more frequently on some days, and some times it doesn't happen for weeks.I tried calling the phone from my land line when it is in this state, I could hear it ringing on the landline, but the phone doesn't actually ring. After rebooting, it doesn't even show a missed call. When I reboot it, the phone's battery is substantially less (down by about 10%). It started happening only since 4.3 JB update, it was fine till then. I tried a full factory reset, and minimal apps, it worked fine. Once I installed all my apps back, this started happening again. I am thinking one of my apps is causing this and it could be an application or a bug in Kit kat/JB itself. 1. Is there any known bug in kitkat 4.4.2 (or >= 4.3 ) or is there any application known to cause this? 2. Is there any way I can look at the logs to see if any specific application is causing this. 3. Force wake up the phone without having to reboot it ? |

56993 | Why is ART not available on Nexus 7 (2012) or Nexus 10? | I just updated my Nexus 7 to 4.4 and was looking forward to testing out ART, but that option isn't available. I got word that the Nexus 10 also lack this option, but I can't find any info as to why that is. Anybody have anything to share? Of course, they would need an AOT compiler for that platform, but how big of a difference is there between Nexus 7 and Nexus 4? They are both ARMv7, although Nexus 4 is A5 based and Nexus 7 is A9 based (according to my research). Why would that make a difference? |
56994 | Google Account activation: What should I consider concerning privacy? | In order to be able to use google-play-store, I will need a Google Account, and activate this on my Android device. Does this give Google access to all my private data? Is there anything I can to to protect my privacy, and still use Google services? **Background:** Not only recently, I've read a lot about Google collecting everything they can get hold of. While there are terms of service, it's not entirely clear to me where my data will end up. It's also reported that their latest changes weaken users' privacy, and that they are going to use my name and profile to sell ads to others. To me, this looks like really worrisome development on a system I originally thought to be "open". |

52434 | Accelerometer problem in Galaxy S2 | In my Galaxy S2 I think that the accelerometer is not all right. When I play games like Asphalt 7 or Temple Run, the character in Temple Run and the Cars in Asphalt 7 always turn left even when my phone is straight. I use this code `*#0*#` and `check sensor> accelerometer> image test` and it gives these results when I hold my phone horizontally and straight (not slanted): x=25-30, y=55-60, z=9-10 (Even my auto-screen rotation does not work properly.) I calibrated the gyroscope sensor, but it did not solve my problem. What should I do? (Android 4.1.2 XWLSW) |
46142 | fastboot doesn't see device | I've read a lot of articles about this problem but I can't resolve it. I decided to install my developer application on phone using wifi. To do this I need to do some things with my phone. The first step is to unlock bootloader. I stack on step 8, `fastboot oem get_identifier_token` shows info `< waiting to device >`. `adb` sees my device but `fastboot` can't. An idea? My phone is `HTC Wildfire S` and these are steps which I am following: 1. I restarted phone and entered into `FASTBOOT USB` mode 2. I tried to run `fastboot oem get_identifier_token` command but without success. I use Windows 7 Professional and my phone is recognized as `HT1CSTR05155`. |

I've also begun having an issue where deleting folders in the "Music" directory gives an error "cannot delete **_** the storage is write- protected.", but I don't know if this is related. I really need these recordings without having to "share" every single one of them individually in ES File Explorer. What is going on? |
69120 | Android camera error | I used to have TouchWiz 4.1.2 on my Samsung Galaxy Express, and now I have CyanogenMod 10.1. The stock CM camera has this weird behaviour of - for lack of a better explanation - not letting go of the camera once opened. The app works on the first launch, then reports that it can't connect to the camera on subsequent launches. Other camera apps, like Retrica and Camera360, work flawlessly. I'm guessing that the problem lies in the proprietary camera libraries, but they come from an official TouchWiz 4.2.2 build for a similar device - actually, a better term would be a successor, since the device is labeled Galaxy Express 2.

69127 | How do I make /sdcard link point to external SD Card on Android 4.4.2? | I've got a Samsung GT-I9505 phone with Google Edition Rom installed. As my phone comes with 16Gb internal storage, I bought a 32Gb microSD. However, the phone still uses emulated SD card to store all data. I looked through the filesystem and found two places which might be of interest: > symlink: /sdcard -> /storage/emulated/legacy > symlink: /storage/sdcard0 -> /storage/emulated/legacy My actual SD card, however, is at `/storage/extSdCard` As far as I get it, apps use the first symlink to access SD card. I tried to use terminal emulator with root permissions to make these symlinks point to the right direction, however, it says that the filesystem is read-only. This is where I got stuck and ask for your help to make my phone use the right SD card. |

I want to use internet to send messages. I'm not talking about android applications like Viber, WhatsApp Messenger, etc. If we are using those services, other devices we need to send SMS must have installed the same application.

45495 | Amazon Appstore reports "payment issue" when I try to update an app I bought a while ago | I remember having this issue months, possibly years ago. The error message is poorly worded and I forget what I did to resolve it last time...  Clicking the link takes me to a page (in the browser) that says that the digital orders page has moved, with a link to the new location. Following that link just shows me my order history and the "pending orders" that the app alludes to don't seem to be available anywhere. My only thought for a resolution was that maybe it was looking at one of the expired credit cards I lazily hadn't removed from my account yet. I removed all expired cards, and I still have the issue. What's most frustrating is that this is an app **_update_**. It should be completely free. Anyone got any ideas? |
45496 | Set different languages for different users | I'd like to set different languages per user in my nexus 7 (Android 4.2), but the only option I've found for changing the language is system-wide, and applies to all the users. Is there any way I can do that? |

When I bought a 4G data plan, I did not realize I had been using 2G data. I tried to use the WCDMA setting, but this only made my phone lose signal entirely.

9229 | How does the Amazon Appstore verify its apps? | A few times after I've downloaded an app from the Amazon Appstore, I get an error pop-up similar to the following when opening the app: > # Amazon Appstore > > There was a problem verifying this application. Please download it again. It hasn't occured on the first launch of an app, but rather the second (or possibly later). Uninstalling it and then downloading it again always solves the problem; it never occurs again for the same app (except Gentle Alarm. I couldn't shut it off because Amazon wouldn't let the app run, just the service. Gah). My question is, why does this happen? If the app works fine, it shouldn't be corrupted, so I don't see why it couldn't be verified (especially since it was verified fine on the first launch). Is there some extra data downloaded? Is it managed by the app or the appstore? (I.e., would clearing data for one, the other, or both solve the issue without needing to re-download?) |
9222 | Apps crash too slow | Every time an app crashed on my Galaxy S my phone vibrates, 15-25 seconds later it vibrates a little longer, shows an error message and asks if I want to close the app or wait. I don't know why this takes so long. I developed an app myself and noticed that the same app crashed instantly in the android simulator, while it would take a really long time to crash on my phone. (I don't think it is because the pc is faster, because the app itself runs slower on the pc just the crashes are faster) That's really annoying somtimes because some of the apps I use crash regularly and I always have to wait this long. So I wondered if there is some way to change this or if this is the same on all Galaxy S/Android phones. |

I have downloaded Samsung's high quality British English TTS engine and set it as "Preferred TTS engine" From Settings -> MyDevice -> Accessibility -> Text- to-speech options -> Samsung text-to-speech engine -> Languages However when I use Google's Navigation app, it still uses Google's TTS engine. Furthermore I actually disabled google's TTS engine so it is not present at TTS options, the problem still persists! The only thing that I have discovered is if I change preferred language from English UK to English US, then TTS engine changes in Google's Navigation App from Google's English UK to English US! I thought the problem is at Samsung's TTS Engine. So I downloaded Ivona TTS Engine and tried same languages and experiencing same problems with that too. Is there a solution for this stubborn Google's Navigation app's voice? |
62962 | How to get full root on a Samsung S-3 | I have a Samsung S-3 which was updated OTA to Android 4.3. Trying to get root, I downloaded saferoot (source) from xda. The exploit works, the process gets root permissions (remounting partitions, read/write system directory, and I was able to add setuid bit to a su executable). From there, I disabled all KNOX related processes. However, the "system" function doesn't work (permission denied) and neither do any "setuid" executables in /system/xbin. I suspect it's because SELinux. Did anyone experience these problems, and what did they do to solve them? |
62960 | WiFi tool which allows copying of MAC addresses | I am trying to find a tool for Android that displays the MAC addresses of nearby WiFi access points and allows me to copy the MAC addresses. I have found a few WiFi analysis tools that display MAC addresses, but they have no copy functionality so that I can seamlessly use the address in another application. Currently I am required to take out a pencil (how barbaric!) and write down the MAC address and open the other application and manually enter the MAC address. |
62966 | Multilingual smart dial in HTC One X | I have HTC One X with default firmware and the latest updates installed. I'm totally fine with the default dialer, but the only feature missing is Russian (Cyrillic) symbols in Smart Dialer. It's where you type T9 versions of names to fast filter your contact list. Is there a way to add Russian symbols to default Smart Dialer? I want to use both English and Russian symbols simultaneously. I can use separate app for that, like ExDialer, it does exactly what I want. But I don't want to blunt Occam's razor. Default dialer is to the left. ExDialer is to the right, since it is doing it right.  |
62967 | Track republic wireless texts over wifi | My son has a republic phone and I'm trying to find a way to monitor his texts without modifying anything on his phone because he's fairly tech savvy so he'd be able to remove it. I was thinking about a way to track the texts when they go over wifi. is there a possible way to do that? |
62965 | Trigger sync of calendar/addressbook remotely | I would like to trigger the synchronization of calender and address book on the command line (using an adb command or a script). The background is that I have set up my own caldav and carddav server which the devices reaches through a forwarded local port. Since the connection will only be available occasionally I need the device to sync at the same time. I could do this using a remote login at the same time when I forward the port. I want to avoid increasing the sync frequency. |
12350 | Is there an Android app that scans a device for vulnerability issues? | Is there an application that scan the phone or the phone image searching for vulnerability issues? In the internet there are several tools that make Network scanning, but I found nothing specific for Android. Any ideas please comment, I'll be very grateful. |
12356 | Not enough time for GPS lock for geo-tagging when taking a photo | I turned on geo-tagging for photos, but the problem is that the GPS locking procedure seems to only start when I open the camera app - but it takes minutes for it to lock on a location and by that time the photo opportunity is gone. Is there any way to enable GPS lock to be ready even before opening the camera app? For instance some phone settings to toggle it off and on, or some service I can get which continuously runs in the background and maintains a GPS lock? And if there is, what will be the power implications of maintaining a GPS lock? Does it drain a lot from the battery, or is it relatively benign? My device is Samsung Galaxy S 2, running Android 2.3.3. |
12354 | Bluetooth headset doesn't play ringtone | I've paired Bluetooth headset Plantronics Explorer 390 with Android phone. I can set ringtone of incoming call on every contact. The issue is that any Android phone I've tested plays ringtone on internal speaker. In headset I hear at this moment standard beep-beep-beep. Is any way to send ringtone to BT headset? Of course, BT headset ideally works in other terms: when I answer the call, sound output is redirected to headset as I expect and phone is using mic in headset. But on every Nokia phone ringtone is correctly redirected to BT. It is very disappointing that newer and more functional Android lacks this feature. I've tested next phones: * LG Optimus One P500 * HTC Inspire 4G I've tested different versions of firmware. From 2.2 to 2.3.4. The behavior is identical. |
12355 | VNC viewer shows only black screen, but sends events to droidVNC | I am using a VNC server on my Android device (droidVNC it is called.) I have tried using multiple VNC viewers and each one has the same results: * the viewer window is a black screen (sometimes a blue screen.) * clicking on the viewer correctly sends the events to the phone (I can see the screen change, etc.) but it is just blind clicking and pretty unusable. I think that since this is the same problem on multiple different viewers (TightVNC Viewr, RealVNC Viewer) that it is a problem with droidVNC server. Do you think the problem is actually with the VNC Viewer? Has anybody experienced something like this before, and are there any tips you can give to make the droidVNC server run faster/better? |
10261 | Arabic text is detached | I have these two issues. The text is detached in tweetcaster. Along with being detached, in the browser, the reading order is wrong. I hope upgrading the current pre installed browser or installing a separate one would solve browser trouble. But how about tweetcaster? What is the fix for that? If there is no fix except wait for upgrade, could you please suggest a Twitter client that displays Arabic text properly? I have HTC desire running android 2.1. |
53474 | How can I control which device gets downloaded apps on the Google Play website? | I have two devices, a Note 2 and a Nook HD Plus. I can download apps to each device with their Google Play apps with no problem. but I don't know how to choose which device gets the app download on the Google Play website. |
10265 | Is there a way to tell when the battery is actually at 100% | I recently acquired an HTC Desire Z / G2, and installed Cyanogenmod 7 onto it. Something I've noticed though is that sometimes the battery drains very quickly, and sometimes it does not. Since I have a tendency to charge the battery very often, even when it has not discharged much, I get the feeling that the battery stats are not correct. As I recall, before resetting battery stats, I should make sure the battery is at 100%. My question to that is, **how can I tell if my battery is at 100%?** Is it when the LED power indicator is constantly green? When Android reports as 100%? |
10266 | Joined Google Contacts do not sync | I can join two contacts on my Android phone, regardless of where the contact is from (Google Contacts, Qik Video, Skype, etc). But when I join two Google contacts, I expect to see the contacts merged in Google Contacts as well, after synchronization, and this does not happen. My phone is a Samsung Infuse. Model number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I997. Firmware version: 2.2.1 |
10267 | How can I use 'Nook for android' to read non-latin encoding epub books normally? | I installed Nook for android on my P1010. When I use it to read English epub book, no problem. But when I read a Chinese book with GB2312 encoding, there are lots of irrecognizable characters. How can I solve this problem? |
53478 | Screen Unlock Issue - Phone Restarts | I am facing problem in unlocking my Micormax A35 BOlt. When i switches it ON it behaves normal and as soon as drag the lock symbol on screen to unlock the phone it restarts immediately. What could be wrong here, and how to fix it? |
53479 | Asus Memopad sd card unexpected removed | At the moment the Asus Memopad HD7 came out, i bought it. I bought also a micro sd card and inserted it. But frequently the sd card will be unexpected removed. Is there anyone who recognizes this? Is it a general problem with the Memopad? |
63389 | Disable Carrier Phone Number for Google Voice Number | This seems similar to this question, but that one doesn't have a clear answer, and this is a bit different. Is there a way in Android to block _all_ incoming calls that target the carrier number, but still receive calls that target the Google Voice number? _General problem I'm trying to solve:_ I use Google Voice and all valid callers have that number. The carrier-issued number was previously used by at least two people who are being sought by many debt collectors, and has started to get a large number of calls from scammers. I have no reason to _ever_ receive a call at this number. I currently use on{x} to manage various functions on my phone, but as far as I can tell, it does not offer a way to detect which of my phone numbers was called, only the number of the caller. I'm not sure if another management app (e.g. tasker or locale) would be more helpful, since I don't own either. I've been blocking numbers as they come up using AVG Anti-Virus, but since what I really want is a white-list for callers (those who know my Google Voice number) rather than a black-list it isn't really doing the trick for me. |
63381 | A real Android ISO File | Most of the ones given can't even play videos, they just crash when I try doing anything remotely heavy. Is there no true ISO file that plays videos and can handle anything that a normal tablet can? Booting on laptop using usb, and have an i5 processor. |
63380 | No Longer Receiving Message Notifications on Lock Screen | I have a SG3 recently updated to Jelly Bean 4.3. When the update ran, I received message previews on the lock screen, accessed them without trouble, and enjoyed the feature. In the last 24-36 hours, these previews have ceased, and I can no longer swipe to the lock screen where the message previews used to appear. The preview setting is still checked, and I continue to receive notifications and previews in my status bar. |

49801 | Transfering mp3 file from a pc and play it on Android 4.1.1? | I recently bought a smartphone with the intent of not having to bow to iPhone and its iTunes etc. I am a PC only user and so I don't really want to change my religion from Win-to-IOS! However, what I thought would be simple is proving to be difficult. I am sure there will be many like me. And that is why I am posting here. My pc runs Win-XP. The ALDI phone is Medion E4002 (MD 98388) and runs Android 4.1.1. I want to copy some mp3 files that I have to the Android phone so I can listen. Not too much ask, is it? But I am unable to. Tried the Help Line of ALDI. The bottom line from support person is that under Windows it should work without any additional software. Because in my case it does not work, the problem must be with my pc! In Android under System Settings, I tried connection as a USB Storage. Yes, two new "removable drives" are recognized, but properties shows as 0 bytes and all blue disk. And if I try the connection as a Media Device (MTP) the phone is not recognized by the pc. Any help? Update from original psoter (july 25, 2013) As was suggested by the Aldi / Medion Help Centre guy, I tried copying files from a Win 8 laptop. There too, the USB mode did not work, but MTP did. Thanks for the answers. |
68458 | cannot play or copy corrupted video | I have a Samsung galaxy S4. I have changed the settings so that the pictures and video taken from the phone camera are saved in a folder on the external memory card. Usually this works quite well. I took a quite long video recently (>1 min) resulting in a file of 119MB. **The issue:** The file seem corrupted. If I play it with VLC on my phone, it works for the first few seconds, then VLC crashes. I have tried to copy the file to my PC using Airdroid, but the download fails at some point after 11.3MB (each time exactly at the same point). hence I suspect it is an issue with a bad sector on the memory card (Although I am not a specialist and open to other possibilities) I have done a few searched on Internet but not found any solution so far. I tried for instance this tutorial, but this assumes that I can copy the file which I can't. It is a great video so I really would like to recover it. Help! |
49807 | Availability of the Menu Key | As seen on backwards compatibility for the Android phones, do some phones always have traditional physical keys like the Menu Key, ususally on _Gingerbread_ and older only? I was wondering if most modern phones running on _Jellybean_ and _Ice Cream Sandwich_ will always have virtual Action Overflow button in replace of the Menu Key. |
45720 | Huawei G300 not fast enough for Google Racer | So on my Nexus 7 (currently clocked at 1300mb RAM) Google Racer works fine. However, when I use it on my Huawei Ascend G300 (only clocked at ~30mb less RAM) it says it is too slow. This doesn't really make any sense? They have almost identical RAM? |
45729 | Use Tasker to swipe lock the screen for 10 mins then require password thereafter | i'm looking for a way where i can use the power button to turn off the screen and activate the swipe lock. If the phone is left untouched/unswiped for 10 mins the password lock should come on. There is one difference between this and similar posts i have seen, my Phone is encrypted so i cannot turn off the password as part of the method of doing this. At the moment the power button turns off the screen but can be unlocked at the push of any button which often results in unintended phone calls in my pocket, after a certain amount of time left untouched the password lock kicks in. I've heard an app called Tasker can do something like this, will it also work with encrypted devices? All i would need it to do is activate a swipe lock on pressing of the power button Thanks |
45728 | Samsung Galaxy s3 won't boot | My Samsung keep booting up and then after the intro where it should show my home screen it showing a blue flashing Samsung sign with the Led light glowing blue as well.

26782 | How do you find out what changes there are in new firmware? | I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 running ICS 4.0.3. It has desktop software with it called Kies for managing the phone and when I plugged it in today it told me that there was new firmware available: > Current firmware version: PDA:LPB / PHONE:LPB / CSC:LPC (TMU) > > Latest firmware version: PDA:LPD / PHONE:LPB / CSC:LPD (TMU) How do I find out what changes there are in the new firmware version? I'd rather not make any changes to my phone (which is already flaky enough after the upgrade to ICS) without knowing what the changes are. Plugging the firmware string into Google produces only a few results and none of them explain what the update contains. A similar question suggests checking with my carrier's website but that only produced one result(*) which I had already found via Google. It is a person saying they did the upgrade, thinking it was 4.0.4 but it wasn't. That page doesn't help me to understand what the changes are. So to reiterate the question, **how do I find out what changes there are in the new firmware version?** * * * Similar question: What's in an update? * * * **UPDATE** Looking as samfirmware.com as mentioned in the comments and answer, I can see that T-Mobile released two firmwares with the lable 4.0.3: GT-I9100 - United Kingdom (T-Mobile) PDA: I9100BVLPB CSC: I9100TMULPC Version: 4.0.3 Date: 2012-04-10 Regions: GT-I9100 - United Kingdom (T-Mobile) PDA: I9100BVLPD CSC: I9100TMULPD Version: 4.0.3 Date: 2012-05-25 Regions: The first is the one I have and the second is the one on offer. Apart from what is written there, I could find no further information on that site about what they might contain. ( _As an aside, I think that's a useful website and should come in handy in the future_ ) |
2966 | How do I change the lock-screen wallpaper? | I've lost the ability to change my lock screen wallpaper (in the course of trigger-happy removal of some phone company apps). I used to be able to do `'Menu > Wallpaper'` and be prompted for either the phone or lock screen, but now this stage doesn't appear and I'm taken straight to the `'Select wallpaper from'` screen. I'm looking for a way to get the lock/home screeen prompt back or failing that, possibly the location where the active wallpaper is stored in the file system if that would work, or an app that would let me change the lock screen wallpaper directly. (No luck with Google.) I'm using an Orange San Francisco (ZTE Blade) running Android 2.1.1 _Edit_ : and Launcher Pro. |
26786 | Samsung GS3 (SPH-i710) exchange server repeated security update notification | I just connected my Samsung Galaxy S 3 (SPH-i710) to my exchange email server at work. It synced up and my email and calendars show on my device, however every few minutes I get a notification that says "Update Security Settings" when I click on it, it shows an alert dialog that says "Security Update Required" "Update Security Settings to use ". Clicking OK will allow my email box to refresh. However if I ignore the notification it won't receive push updates. Does anybody know what the cause of this may be? |
2960 | Can I make Home folders close on click? | So, say I have a folder on my home screen. In it I have a bunch of shortcuts. If I click one of those shortcuts it runs the program. Now when I come back to the home screen the folder is still sitting there open. Most of the time I want to go to something else on the home screen when coming back to it, not something in that folder. To that end is it possible to make it so that upon clicking a shortcut in a folder, after launching the app (or before, doesn't really matter) it would also close the folder, so that when I come back to the home screen I am actually AT the home screen without needing to manually close the folder? Running rooted, but otherwise stock Galaxy S Captivate. |
2962 | Automatically connect to Wi-Fi nodes, but route everything through encryption | Related to my question about VPNs, is there any way to get my phone to automatically connect to unencrypted access points, but route all my traffic through my home network? This would be kind of like an intermittent, but free, alternative to a data plan, to just sync my email and such automatically when it sees an open access point, but without the risk of apps transmitting passwords or cookies in the clear over a rogue password-scraping access point. If I combine something like Wi-Fi Ruler with a VPN would it do this? Are there better alternatives? Can I have the VPN automatically disabled when I'm connected to a trusted (saved) access point for better speed? (Maybe disabled by a Tasker profile?) If I have the tunnel enabled, and my home network is offline, I'd like the phone to block everything until I explicitly disable the tunnel. Wi-Fi Ruler can connect to APs automatically, Orbot and DroidVPN can capture all of a rooted phone's traffic and route it through a proxy, and VPNs and SSH tunnels allow for encrypted connections to a home or work network, so it seems possible, but how to put all this together? |
2969 | How do I delete a draft message (SMS)? | I have created a draft message using the standard HTC Desire message application. However I now want to delete the draft. When I select the thread I see my previous message, and my draft text below. I select "Menu", "...More", and then "Delete" and am warned I am about to delete entire thread. Which is stupid. I want to delete my draft. How do I delete a draft? |

I've done this 100 times at least, so i couldn't have got it wrong everytime. is there a reason for why i cannot get past this step? I'm going crazy here! |

54290 | Can I check if the fastboot has worked if my phone screen is broken? | My screen is broken on my old HTC Desire Z and I want to recycle - but before I do I want to clear all the data that was on the phone. I followed the instructions for a fastboot and the phone did make all the sounds as if it has worked. Is there anyway I can check if the fastboot worked without actually seeing the screen? When I connect a USB the phone is not detected (because I understand I did not previously choose USB debugging). |
24319 | How to change search engine language? | I'm a native Hungarian speaker, a few months ago I moved to Germany, and I have a problem with the Google search, I installed the Google chrome on my android device but the default search engine is German(google.de), it's so annoying when I would like to get English results, but instead of that I'm getting Germany results. How can I change that? |
54292 | Thethered Wifi as File Server on Android 1.6 (rooted) | I do have a question; I own an old G1 with Android 1.6, but its rooted. In my new car, there is a USB port, which can only handle a Mass Storage but not the MTP or what its called. So my actual phone doesn't work on it. Now I thought about a better solution. I would like to use my old G1 as a Hotspot (Wifi or Bluetooth, whatever works). That one doesn't have a SIM card (yet). Maybe I am getting one, so I could use that phone as Tethering Hotspot as well, but thats not important right now. The basic function needs to be: 1. Providing a Wifi Hotspot, which is visible, but of course secured by a password 2. Providing some kind of Server, where I can access the SD Card to store MP3s or whatever. So I can tell a passenger to upload their music on my Hotspot, so the to the car connected phone can play their music or share files or whatever :) Are there any apps for 1.6 which can provide such a functionality? |
24315 | Lockscreen on capacitive touchscreen? | My phone (SE Xperia X8) has a capacitive touchscreen, which, I'm told that only reacts to fingers. So does it have a point to have lockscreen enabled? I use Cyanogenmod so I can easily disable it. |
24312 | Asus Transformer slow charge | My ASUS Transformer TF101 charges extremely slowly using the original power adaptor. **I'm trying to figure out the cause.** Here are all my knowns: 1. The power block (wall to USB adaptor) charges my mobile phone without issues 2. The power block plus ASUS cable turns on my Transformer if it is off, or wakes it up if it is sleeping (but charges extremely slowly) 3. The ASUS cable lets me MTP and all that from computer and tablet 4. I installed ICS when in April and now its running 4.0.3 5. The charger does charge, but extremely slowly both on Keyboard dock and Tablet (a few days to get to 20%) 6. It definately has not been near water, dust, direct sunlight or particle accelerators From this I guage: it's not the power block or the cable, and the only change was ICS a few months back which worked okay (first update was buggy, but the next one fixed this). _Anyone else had this or know why it could be?_ |
24310 | Samsung Conquer head phones get muted on calls | I have the Samsung Conquer 4g with Sprint. My head phones work great for music, however when I receive or make a call I am muted... well, the other person cannot hear me, I can hear them fine. When I unplug the person can hear me. The phone never gets the headphone icon up in the task bar. I also have the HTC Evo 3D, and this works fine. When I plug in my headphones i see the headphone icon, and can make calls no problem. Is this a limitation in the Samsung, defective? A bug? Thanks, |
68982 | Banner Ads on bottom of different apps- Is this a Virus? | I have Android 4.4.2. On a couple of apps (like Huffington Post and NBC 4 LA)I've noticed different banner ads that appear on the bottom of the screen inside different apps. The thing is these banner adds on the bottom of the page look very similar. I don't know if these apps use the same advertising company or what the situtation is. They're right on the bottom of the page so when you're scrolling you often hit them when I don't want to. Are these normal or do i have a virus that installs adds inside some of my apps on my phone? EDIT: I've added an image of the type of ad. This type of banner ad appears on the bottom of the screen inside different apps on my phone. Is this normal?   |

68987 | Opera off-road mode: Automatically switch on for mobile but off for wifi | I like Opera's off-road mode, especially the fact that I can disable loading images specifically for it, but when on WiFi, I have to manually disable it, which is an extra step. Is it possible to set Opera to use off-road mode for mobile data, but switch it off when on WiFi? Note: I've tagged this with Opera Mobile because only Opera Mobile and Opera Mini tags are available, but I'm talking about Opera for Android. |
