24504 | Repeated 'Force Close' and no signal - my device is unusable | I have an Android Galaxy S2, running CyanogenMod 7. I was normally using my phone, in a middle of using Waze while driving when suddenly I started getting 'Force Close' messages like this: > Sorry! > The process `com.android.phone` has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. I get bombarded by these messages, for lots of different processes like `com.android.phone`, `android.process.com.acore`. If I try to run an app (in the milliseconds of intervals between these messages), they usually close immediately with their processes generating more 'Force Close' messages. In addition, the phone has no signal at all. Tried to find solutions online, but couldn't come up with anything other than trying to remove my SD Card, but that didn't help. Resetting obviously didn't help. I would appreciate any suggestion you can offer. |

77558 | How can I stop music apps from playing when my Android connects via Bluetooth to my car? | We recently bought a used Toyota Prius that has Bluetooth installed with the JBL audio system. Whenever my phone (stock Nexus 4 running 4.4.4) connects to it, the car sends a "play" command that automatically starts the most recently used music app (Google Play Music, Pandora, etc.). It doesn't matter if no music app was open on the phone, the command opens it up and it starts playing no matter what, and there's no way on the car to stop it from sending the command, as mentioned here. Is there a way to stop this from happening? |

28163 | Jelly Bean IMAP, Couldn't open connection to server | Well, finally got my Nexus 7. Set up all the basics and hit a pretty big roadblock, the email account setup for IMAP simply won't work. Just to clarify, I'm absolutely certain all the details I've put in are 100% correct, I've double-, triple-, quadruple- and so on-checked them. They are exactly the same as the settings I use on my iPhone, in Mail.app on my Mac and in Thunderbird on my laptop. All three of these devices are on the same network behind the same FreeBSD machine that does packet filtering, they are all on the same subnet and subject to the same packet filtering rules. The IMAP(S) server is my own running on a Debian VPS and here's the kicker, when I check the logs all the other clients' connections are clearly visible but no connections from the Nexus 7 show up. The Nexus 7 has shown no other signs of network issues but whenever I try to setup an IMAP account I get `Couldn't open connection to server`thrown back at me immediately (no delay indicating some kind of timeout, immediate, right away, BAM!). So, does anyone have suggestions on how I can fix this? I've tried googling but every forum post and blog post I've come across has been so obviously about other things (most of them along the lines of "I'm trying to my email what is server?" which means the answers aren't very helpful). Edit: I've also tried a complete factory reset but I'm still getting the same error. Edit2: I am able to telnet from the tablet to the IMAP server and when I do so everything that should get logged in `/var/log/mail.log` on the server gets logged there but when I attempt to setup an account in the settings and click Next I still don't see anything in the logs. I'm starting to have suspicions that this is either something strangely broken in the the IMAP client libraries or some kind of IPv6-related screwup (since the server is accessible through both IPv4 and IPv6). |
28165 | Android as a Virtual Printer | I'm looking for an android app that functions just like a printer: I hit PRINT on my Mac, PC, or iPhone, and a series of pages is immediately displayed on my android device. I realize there are several options for this, and I have tried many of them, but none seem to fulfill two crucial requirements: 1. It has to really act like a printer, which means it has to immediately display the pages when I hit PRINT with no other intervention from me, including no app launching. 2. It has to expose itself as a normal IP printer on the local network (connected via WiFi) and accept normal network print jobs. Not going over the "cloud" like so many printer apps. Why? I have an eInk android device that is much more convenient that hauling around a printer and paper. |

28167 | Tablet not recognized as removable storage | I have an Android A-13 Android tablet version 4.0.4 Baseband version 4.0.14 I have been trying to get my PC to recognize it so that I can download my music to it. But I do not know if the PC does recognize it or not as the tablet does not show up on the removable storage. I have tried several different things to get it to do so but none of them work. One of the attempted things is to enable USB mass storage on the tablet. But when I try to do that it does not have a place for it in the Settings. Can anyone help me with this? |
34687 | Back up not only games, but also game progress before flashing ROMS | I have a Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) And I'm about to flash a custom rom on it. I've done it a bunch of times but what really irritates me is that I lose all progress made on the games that I have on my phone! I backup the actual games and other applications using Astro file manager, but when I star my phone up after flashing a rom and re-install the game, I have lost all progress. How does one backup a game, **with game progress intact**? Thanks for any tips! |
34680 | Non-root methods to mount USB storage devices | From my understanding, one can use `StickMount` to mount USB Sticks / Thumbdrive. However, `StickMount` require one to root phone. So, are there ways that I can mount a USB Sticks / Thumbdrive to a Android phone / tablet without rooting the phone? |
34682 | Can one avoid losing everything on a Galaxy Nexus when applying a new ROM (safely)? | The makers of most ROMs suggest that you do a full device wipe when moving from one ROM to another. I have also found this is usually good practice, so data from the previous ROM does not affect the new one. On my EVO 4G, this was not a problem, since wipes did not affect the SD card. However, my new Galaxy Nexus (Sprint) has no SD card, and is managed all on internal memory. Every time I do a full wipe (in TWRP and Clockworkmod recoveries) they erase **everything** on my device, including my `SD` contents (photos, documents, the new ROM I'm trying to install, etc.). This is quite problematic and annoying, as it requires much more time to manually backup my backups before flashing anything. Has anyone found a way to avoid this? By that, I mean **is there a way to keep portions of data (preferably the faux "SD" portions) between flashing new ROMs?** |
55171 | How can I capture tethered traffic and save it as a pcap file? | I use my Android device with 3G as a hotspot for my laptop.

79486 | Cannot write files to sd card | A few days ago, my sd card became unusable. I tried to copy a few mp3's from my laptop (win 7) to my phone (Samsung S2 plus, running android 4.2.2) and the load bar didn't even move an inch. Eventually I got an error saying "This file cannot be copied. 1) Try again 2) Abort". The most annoying part is that I backed up and deleted all files (to clean the sd card) an hour earlier, and now nothing works. I tried writing files using usb cable over both MTP and camera mode, without any results. I tried apps on the phone, and still the same error. The sd card is inserted correctly and does not appear to be damaged. I have heard about the kitkat not being able to write files to sd card (like this forum post) but I think that is only for android 4.4. I have been running 4.2 for a while now, and have never faced this issue before. Phone works perfectly except sdcard. EDIT: My phone actually tried to launch a software update, but since I wasn't connected to a WIFI nothing happened, no loading bar and no update was started. |

56488 | Is it possible to enable in-app purchases for Restricted Profiles? | I've set up a restricted profile on my Nexus to enable my children to have relatively controlled access to the device. Now one of them is asking for me to unlock a couple of features within an app via an IAP (Angry Birds Star Wars: Boba Fett Missions). I'm happy to do this, but can't find a way to do so. Before I'd set up the account I'd already purchased the "No Adds" IAP, and this is also purchased on the restricted profile, but purchasing the unlock on my account doesn't seem to have any impact on the state of the unlock on the Restricted Profile. Is there a reliable way to either: 1. Enable IAP's on a Restricted Profile? 2. Transfer/Share IAPs between a Main and it's Restricted Profiles? |
56489 | How to put Google Nexus 7 securely in my car for use as sat nav? | I know this question isn't about Android per-se, but about an Android device no less. I recently got a new Google Nexus 7 tablet. Now, I'd like to use it as car sat nav, but I couldn't find a decent holder for my car. I'm using a car power strip that also has two USB sockets acting as power outlets for USB devices. Powering the Nexus is no problem, so I don't need a holder/cradle, that supplies power to the tablet. I was considering building it myself out of a dock or something, but even that I couldn't find. So, how should I put it in my car then? Should I just build myself a car-dock for it? |
56483 | How to move from one Google Account to another? | I work at a company that has its own Google account , usually used for Gmail (not sure how it works and what is this service called, but they have it). However, I've used it for Gmail and many other things, like purchasing apps and even created a developer account. How do I move all of the things I've paid for (even the developer account, which costs about $25) to my private account? This was actually a mistake, as I didn't notice which account i'm logged in to, so I didn't even publish any app using this developer account. Is it also possible to make the Google Plus account to belong to another Google Account? I ask this in hope that if some day in the future I will leave my job, I will still have all of the things I had before. |

25291 | Unable to access text messaging after updating to ICS | I have a Droid RAZR and the stock messaging app just keeps loading forever and Handcent SMS crashes when I access it. I have tried to leave it be and let it load but nothing happens. I would use SMS Backup & Restore (or another backup app) like I have in the past but since the messages don’t load the progress bar just says “NaN 0/0″ and does nothing. This is the only thing preventing me from doing a factory reset/clear data since I have lots of messages on this baby that I need to keep. I'm not sure if the messages have already been deleted, but if they were, wouldn't the apps work? This is just one of my many problems I've been running into with ICS. |

When I try to connect the Wi-Fi in my phone both manually and auto, it presents a message mentioning `out of range`, even though I'm sitting right beside the router. I really did a lot of changes such as changing the ssid of my router and the security type but nothing seem to work.

32027 | How can I automatically change volume/GPS/wifi/etc settings based on time and location? | I put Jelly Bean on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy SIII using http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cyanogenmod-10-m2. I like the "Profiles" feature, with which I can set ringtone volume, GPS on/off, wifi on/off, etc for different scenarios (work, home, traveling, etc). However, I'd prefer that my phone just "know" when and how to change profiles. E.g. at certain times of day on certain days of the week, it should be Profile 1. If I'm at location X, it should switch to Profile 2. I figure this should be possible since it has a clock and geolocation abilities. I just haven't figured out how. |

So if I'm going 50km/h the gps software tells me I'm going 100km/h and so on. All the settings in the software are set to km/h so I suspect it's the android system that communicates with the gps-module fault? I read in another forum of a guy that discovered that his android phone was giving him the speed reading in nautical miles (nots). Maybe this is whats happening with my unit? I found the system file "gps.conf" but I can't see any settings in there that I can change when it comes to speed. Any suggestions? In what file in the system is this setting located? Cheers. |

56730 | Lost contact details | I have a Galaxy S3 and use gmail on my phone. I was attempting to dial a number when the contact details disappeared from my phone in front of my eyes. They had gone from my phone AND from my gmail account when I returned home to check it out there! This happened again with another contact. I depend on gmail and have everything synced - so I have no idea of this has happened to other contacts too - I may have to wait until I need to call someone! Any ideas?? |
8879 | Why my app disappear at reboot? | When I reboot the phone, often, some of the apps a get generic icon and won't load anymore. A reinstall solves the problem but I'd rather not have to do that. Device is an Acer Liquid Metal with Froyo. |
56732 | Connecting multiple phones to a single Bluetooth module. | I have successfully connected my Bluetooth module (RN-41-sm) with my Android phone. However once I am connected I cannot connect the module with another phone, because it is undiscoverable once connected to a phone. Does anyone know how I can connect multiple devices? Maybe relevant, I am using the Amarino Class to connect with my module. |
56735 | bluetooth upgrade to include keyboard support | I have a Zen Touch 2, running bluetooth 2.1 and android 2.2. I also have a Samsung Galaxy Fame running bluetooth 4.0 (I think) and android 4.1. On my Zen, I cannot connect to a bluetooth keyboard to input data without an additional driver, but on my Fame I can. This is obviously because of an upgrade in either bluetooth or android, but which one and when? |
56736 | Emulate an RFID card with android 4.4? | Is it possible to do it with the host card emulation feature of android 4.4? Is there a sample how this framework works? https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/nfc/hce.html |
56737 | Recovering from lengthy rom upgrade on HTC Desire S | I started installing Android 4.0.4 on HTC Desire S from the official website. It had an executable that I just launched and clicked through to start installation. It should have taken about ten minutes but now it is over half an hour later. There's no progress bar on the phone. I can only see "Sending.." (with number of dots growing repeatedly) on my laptop (under Windows 7). Is there a way to recover from this situation? Is my phone doomed to be bricked if I just disconnect usb? |
56738 | Browsing Jelly Bean 4.3 filesystem via bluetooth? | Is there a way I can browse my 4.3 tablet via a bluetooth connection? My (Ubuntu) laptop's bluetooth manager has a "Browse Device..." option, but it is grayed out. Is there a way I can enable it? |

57463 | Obtain the Phone Number through ADB | I have a rooted Android device, and I'm set up with the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). I'm having difficulty finding the phone number of the device through ADB. I'm hoping to eventually automate this process if the phone connected to the computer is arbitrary. I've tried google searching for the answer to this problem with no help, and I manually searched in some places on the phone. How could I obtain the phone number through ADB? |
57465 | How can I make voice search know that a certain first name is always that specific contact? | I have a Nexus 5 with the Okay Google search feature. I can theoretically use it to send text messages hands-free. However, my wife has a common name, and I have several other contacts with the same first name -- and it wouldn't be surprising for me to know someone with the same last name too. And, she has a work phone number instead of mobile. So, instead of being convenient, there's a whole back-and-forth interrogation. There must be some way to tell it that when I say "text Karen", I always get _my_ Karen. Right? I tried to look for some "remember this decision" setting, or for some way to mark people as special in the People app, but no luck. I could come up with some silly nickname, I guess, but I don't want to have to do that. I'm hoping there's some real solution. |
57464 | local cloud storage solution | I have got a 1 terabyte external hard drive, and I would like to find a seamless way for my android device (an HTC one mini) to be able to access that hard drive. In the old days when I wanted to do "cloud", I would plug such a device into my always-on-always-connected-to-the-internet linux and just share the device -- let other machines mount it. Of course this still works fine -- but I don't know how to do this via Android, or via Windows. Nowadays we have cloud solutions like Dropbox, which works great on my Android device, but I have limited storage space (unless I pay -- but I already paid for the external hard drive). Ideally I am looking for something with the simplicity of Dropbox but with everything under my control. I considered git for a while, and there are ways to get an android device to run git, but you seem to only have a limited end- user experience, and you seem to have to actually upload projects rather than being able to access them from afar -- and my android device doesn't have that much memory. I tried sparkleshare, but I can't find a client for Android. I tried every option that ES File Explorer offers, but they all seemed to involve losing control of the cloud storage. Is it possible to do this via LAN somehow? The problem is that my Android device will typically be moving from wireless network to wireless network and will not always be on the same network as the external drive. Basically I think I am asking for a way to plug a terabyte hard drive into my phone in a wireless way. This problem has surely been thought about seriously! |
57468 | How to enable audible alarms while making phone calls? | I often need to use a timer while making phone calls. No matter what timer I use they never play the alarm sound while you are on the phone, they simply emit a brief "beep" and vibrates (if the timer was configured to vibrate of course). I need an audible alarm. Is there any way to use a timer with an audible alarm while making a phone call? It used to be possible, a few Android updates back (can't remember which Android version), but not any more it seems, at least not out of the box. I've tried the stock Clock app, Ovo Timer and Timer (by Opoloo). In all three cases alarm signals are only played as expected while not making a phone call. |
26015 | Jelly bean voice search not talking back | I've recently upgraded my phone to Android 4.1.1 and I've tried the new voice search. It mostly answers my questions correctly, but i didn't get it to talk back. I checked the following setting: Settings->Voice->Speech Output. It's set to Always. Does anybody else have this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it? |
64918 | How can I disable mobile data completely? | I have a pre-paid plan and don't want to use my mobile data except for two days in the year. However, since there's the quick option button mobile data, I fear I might press the wrong button when I'm dizzy. So is it possible to deactivate mobile data completely, such that a press on the "mobile data" quick button won't activate it anymore? Or a little bit more drastic: how can I remove that feature from my phone? If the solution is device specific, I'm looking for an answer for a Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100, running stock 4.1.2), but I would like a general solution. |

75049 | Does Android's implementation of SELinux's M.A.C. inhibit apps with root privileges from accessing other app's data? | Starting with Android 4.4 SELinux's MAC is enforced. Does this mean that if an app somehow can get installed and exploit the kernel to get root privileges, that MAC will still prevent that app with root privileges from accessing private app data? Android Documentation says: "SELinux can be used to label these devices so the process assigned the root privilege can write to only those specified in the associated policy. In this way, the process cannot overwrite data and system settings outside of the specific raw block device." source- http://source.android.com/devices/tech/security/se-linux.html#use-cases As a reference I am implementing a Mobile Device Management system and in the process I have to determine how secure Android OS is itself. That is why I need to know how secure corporate data stored on a device is to root-kits, spyware, and other malware. _p.s. This was posted on the 'Unix & Linux' site but no one has been able to answer it, and I was suggested by one of their users to ask this community, any help is much appreciated. Thank you._ |
75048 | How can I make my HTC One stop vibrating on notifications, but still make noise? | My HTC One vibrates every darn time the notification sound comes on, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to stop. I have "vibrate on calls" unticked in the setting, under sound, and it still does it. This was never a problem before that system update a little while ago. I am seriously so mad right now. Help? |
75041 | TWRP, blank screen after flash? | My friend has Nexus 4 with 4.4.2 on it with TWRP recovery and multirom installed. Something went wrong with his main stock install. He had a back up of his system, cache, boot and everything else apart from Data. He restored this backup and now whenever he selects his main partitionn he just boots into a blank screen. Any ideas? We have tried fixing permissions and wiping all types of cache. His other roms in multirom work. |
75040 | Reflashed, kept data partition intact how do I restore my texts? | My friend has had to flash his phone but he kept the data partition intact. He uses hangouts for his SMS and for some reason, his old SMS messages in hangouts arent showing... Did they go when he reflashed the phone? |
3503 | How do I hide contacts in HTC Sense? | How do I hide contacts that I sync from Google Contacts in the Sense? I removed them from My Contacts and filed them under an "Archived" group. I want to keep them, but not show up. I can go to the second "tab" on the bottom to filter by group, but thats a hassle. |
75044 | Android adb: "device unauthorized" message, but can't boot device to confirm authroization | I managed to get stuck in a boot loop after installing the Chainfire 3D driver on a Galaxy Tab 3. I can boot into the recovery mode (and download mode) but when I try to establish a connection using `adb shell`, it says: > error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your > device. Of course, I cannot boot my device to confirm authorization. How can I use adb without first being authorized? |
49212 | Can I connect my Android device to a laptop via WiFi to use file sharing? | How can I connect my _Sony Xperia U_ to my laptop using WiFi to use file sharing? I tried normal connectivity by sharing my laptop WiFi and connect my _Xperia U_ to the laptop -- but it only accesses the internet, not the file sharing. What should I do to access file sharing and managing my laptop using my phone? Is there any application, setting, or procedure that can help me connect my laptop and my phone? |
44574 | Does rooting erase anything? | If I root my android phone (just so I can get access to Wifi Tethering, etc.) will that erase anything on the phone (apps, data, etc.)? Will it change anything other than the ability to run app(s) as rooted? |

26844 | Google Play Music offline files cannot be found | So I have a very odd problem. When I mark my songs for offline use in Google Play Music, they download just fine and are available offline. However, when I go to the `/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache` directory, there are **no** files in there. Does anyone know how to find my files or fix what's wrong?

30464 | Any way to hard reset a HDC A9100? | I need to hard reset my HDC A9100 any way I can. Please, does anyone know how? To clarify: I need to overcome a forgotten screen lock, and the documentation provides no helpful information (it's here: http://www.swedishphones.com/uploads/7/4/6/3/7463877/hdc_a9100__manual.pdf) A few attempts at the 'hold the volume buttons' etc while it powers on have been unsuccessful.

30465 | Install Cyanogenmod 7.2 on Nexus One using ClockworkMod Recovery - "remote: signature verify fail" | Steps I've done: 1. Downloaded & copied CM7.2 to my SD card (from here) 2. Installed the Android SDK 3. Downloaded & copied the ClockworkMod Recovery to the platform-tools directory in the SDK folder (from here) 4. Rebooted my phone by holding down the volume-down and power buttons 5. Went into fastboot mode 6. On my laptop I ran "fastboot oem unlock", then ran it again to make sure it really worked  7. On my laptop I ran "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img" This is where I get the error "remote: signature verify fail"  Anyone know how to fix this? |
38659 | Where to get Flash Player for Android 2.2 Froyo | As everyone knows, the development of Adobe Flash for mobile devices was discontinued. I have an external device I want to access. It has a web server installed running a HTML script with an embedded Flash movie. Since I am not able to download a compatible Flash version on Google Play and have a device that runs Android 2.2.1 Froyo and another device that runs 4.0.3 Android Ice Cream Sandwich, my question is: **Where can I get an Android version of Flash Player that may run on Froyo as well as on Android 4.0.3 ICS?** I've downloaded the APK files here. NOTE: I am no way affiliated with chip.de |
30467 | Why does the CM7 Radio FM app require bluetooth to run? | The FM Radio app on my stock ROM(s) (Samsung 2.2 and 2.3) only required to plug in earphones. And that was the case with any phone radio app on any cell phone. But why does the app which comes with CM7 require both bluetooth turned on and earphones plugged in? (Apparently, from the "about" page in the settings, it is developed by MIUI)  |
30461 | Show only new available and new updated apps in Google Play Store | Is there a way to show only new apps and games or new updated games and apps in the Play Store?

30469 | How to hard reset of a Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000 which I cannot put in recovery mode? | I don't have much hope. Here is what's happening Galaxy S GT-I9000 keeps crashing at startup : com.sec.android.provider.logprovider crashes and other ones android.process.acore So I cannot reach any settings to disable some system settings like Settings/Privacy So I cannot connect usb (it's never seen by my PC) And a very good joke : it cannot be put in recovery mode ! http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series#Recovery_Mode Does nothing Somebody have notices some i9000 in this case : http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/fix-3-button-combo-download-recovery-mode- in-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000/ Too bad I can't do this : "Now plug the USB cable into the phone. Start a new command prompt window and navigate to the folder/directory where you have installed ADB." As my phone is not able to make the usb work ! So is there a way to reset the phone the hard way ? I mean by opening it and erasing the memory to revert to an empty phone fully ... PS : I cannot tell the android installed on this phone. It's not mine. All I know is that it's pretty old and that it's a custom "Orange" ROM. |
33847 | Google Now time estimation to work | I have an Galaxy SII, and I'm using AOKP JB Milestone 1. That said, I'm experiencing something strange, the Google Now app is running and working just fine, except for one thing, I've set my home and work address, but it just shows me the estimated arrival time for going home, all the time by the way(except when I'm home), and it never showed the estimated arrival time for work. Is it known, or may be just and ROM bug? |
18041 | My Epic Touch 4G can only boot into Odin mode | Installed ClockworkMod via ROM Manager, selected reboot into recovery via manager and the phone only boots into "Android System Recovery" now. OK button doesn't work to select "reboot now", though long depress does what it should. I just flashed the EG30 tar file (see comments) successfully, but it booted back into "Android system recovery" again and the ok button will not select on "reboot system now" but long long depress will reboot it... back into recovery though. Any ideas on how I can get the phone to start up properly? |
18043 | How to solve "insufficent space on the device" error on Samsung Captivate | I have a Samsung Captivate, running the stock Froyo ROM, rooted. When I try to install a large app from the Market, I get the error "insufficent space on the device", for apps of ~40 MB, with 700+MB free. I first noticed it with "Jelly Defense" on Google's Christmas-week sale, but you can see it for yourself if you try the free "Reiner Knizia's Labyrinth" which is also quite large. This is a common problem -- just Google it and you'll see dozens of posts around the Internet going back almost a year. From those posts, I've tried two free apps that are supposed to help, "Market Fix" and "Cache Fixer", but neither has done the trick yet. As I understand it, both are supposed to re- mount /cache as a loopback file on the SD card. I don't know why they don't work. If anybody has fixed this specifically on the i9000 series (SGS1, Captivate, Fascinate, etc), please let me know how! |

726 | Choose contact name manually? | In my contact list, I entered a number of "household" contacts combined together. For example, "Bob & Sally Smith", with the corresponding e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc. The problem is that, if the e-mail address is also associated with a Facebook contact, it overrides my preferred naming system and shows the name of the Facebook contact. For example, if the e-mail address were Bob's in my example, it would show "Bob Smith" instead of the combined name. Is there a way to force it to use the name _I_ prefer it to use? Note that this _may_ be specific to my phone - Motorola Droid. A friend of mine has the Droid X and I might see if his does the same thing... |
40750 | How to start deskclock timer via NFC | I am trying to start the timer of the deskclock app that comes with Android 4.2 using a NFC chip. I am not trying to write an app that does this but rather use one of the many NFC launcher apps. I can't seem to find if that is possible at all... AnyTAG NFC launcher for example is able to launch the deskclock app but not set any parameters or just launch the timer part. |
40755 | Backing up Android device on Windows via wireless | I need a way to back up my whole Android device on my PC, which is running Windows 7. I don't have USB cable for my phone, but I have wireless router, so my best option is using Wireless connection. I have encrypted my rooted Nexus S device, and now I am locked out of accessing SD card via recovery. The only way to decrypt my device is Factory data reset, which will erase all data on my phone. Before doing that I need to backup all my SD Card content, Apps, App data content to my PC. I need something much like Ultimate Backup Tool, but instead of recovering data through USB cable, using wireless instead. |

720 | Nexus One: 3G/WIFI Not Switching | As of last couple of weeks, my phone has been having problems automatically switching between wifi and 3G. When i leave home, I have to completely turn off the radio and turn it back on for it to pick up the 3G connection. When i come home in the evening, I have to turn off the wifi, and then turn it back on in order for it to kick in. Has anyone else experienced this problem or know how to fix it? **EDIT:** The problem is that the phone doesnt automatically switch from WIFI to 3G and vice versa. If I go out of range of a known wifi hotspot, my 3G data connection should be established (indicated by the 3G icon in the top row), but it never shows up. If i work-around this by going in and out of airplane mode, the 3G connection is re-established. My carrier is Optus in Australia, but i dont think that matters, given that it USED to work and only in the last couple of week has this problem occured. |
40758 | When did my phone power off due to low battery? Is the information recorded somewhere? | I'd like to know when my Android phone powered down due to low battery. Is there a log or way to see this? I am running a new program that makes use of BlueTooth and I suspect that's the problem. I ran the program over the weekend and when I recovered the phone, it was dead. Of course I have no way of know if the phone died after 1 hour or 23 hours. I'm guessing the operating system logs it somewhere. The phone in question is a Sony Ericsson Arc, but I'm hoping the answer generally applies to all Android phones. |
