77946 | WiFi does not turn on Sony Tablet S | After a prolonged screen off turning on WiFi on Sony Tablet S android 4.0.3 (release5a) results in "Turning on WiFi" status message in the available WiFi networks pane for a very prolonged time. Then it silently turns off. Once after a long time of "turning on" process it succeeded. There are no problems with bluetooth or airplane turning on. Only restarting the device solves the problem. |

77945 | What happens to Crash Reports sent to Google? | Many Android applications have bugs. These include app crashing, screen flickers or failing to start altogether. The app crashes present the well-known `Unfortunately, **AppName** has stopped` screen.  But sometimes actually pressing the left button and sending the report seems like a bit of a waste of time since I never get to know what happened to the report. **What does actually happen once this report is sent? Is it known what Google does with it?** Does Google pass them on to the developers of the app that crashed? And do we how many crash reports Google receives per day? |

15273 | program to resize image? | I'm looking for an image editor that I can use to do a wide array of resizing tasks including canvas size (expand/contract the image canvas), image size (enlarge/shrink the entire image), and cropping. So far, all I can find are cropping tools in the apps I'm finding, but I want the others as well. Does anyone know of any apps that provide all three tools? |

15275 | Some apps not supported on Samsung Galaxy Player | I've never really used an Android device before about a week ago so I'm not terribly familiar with how this all works, but I've noticed that there are a couple of apps that I am not able to download on my Samsung Galaxy player, but my friends who have Android phones are able to. Any ideas on why this might be or how I could work around it. An example is Go Launcher Ex. |
15277 | Rationalising the utility of swap in Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 | I am trying to get my hands on the average read/write speed(s) of the RAM bundled on the said phone. Just wondering how this faces off with a Class 10 micro SD. I was thinking if the Class rating was high enough, maybe using swap might be a good idea. Q1.) Is there a Class rating that is performing almost onpar with the RAM random access timing? Q2.) Is my theoretical basis invalid? Thank you! |

19711 | Cannot get Android 4.0 NFS client to connect to my NFSv4 Ubuntu server: "no such device" | I'm using GLaDOS kernel which includes the NFS modules (and I'm using the Codename Android ICS 4.0.3 ROM) on a GSM Galaxy Nexus. I'm trying to connect to my NFSv4 server (Ubuntu 11.10). My other clients (e.g., Ubuntu 11.04 laptop) can connect over the same LAN network, but my Galaxy Nexus will not connect. In the Android terminal (BTEP), in su mode, I'm entering these commands: insmod sunrpc.ko insmod lockd.ko insmod nfs.ko lsmod shows the modules loaded: nfs 104232 0 - Live 0xbf036000 lockd 42336 1 nfs, Live 0xbf028000 sunrpc 150792 3 nfs,lockd, Live 0xbf000000 My mount command (In the terminal, in su mode) is: mount -t nfs4 nfserver:/shared1 /sdcard/nfs/shared1 The error is "no such device". (See edit below - I have a new error now.) It returns immediately, so I'm fairly certain this is entirely a client side error. It is probably not even trying to contact the server. Usually the "no such device" error means that the nfs kernel module is not loaded. However, in my case, it is indeed loaded, as shown above. Can anyone help? **EDIT** : so now I believe that the BusyBox mount command does not support NFSv4. Unfortunately, my server only supports NFSv4. So I borrowed a NAS device which supports NFS v3 and set that up. Now the error is "invalid argument". In fact, the BusyBox mount command gives the same "invalid argument" error on all mounts using either "-t nfs" or "-t cifs". That leads me to conclude (based on quote below) that there is a version mismatch between BusyBox and my Linux kernel. * busybox: 1.19.3-Stericson * linux: 3.0.8-GLaDOS-V1-15 My conclusion is supported by this link where he says: This is how I interpret it. kernel is newer - recompile mount command (i.e. busybox etc) Make sure that it uses the headers from the kernel it will run with. Finally, trying a regular NFS v3 server (the NAS device) with Mount Manager does not succeed with either NFS or CIFS. But AndSMB will connect to the NAS using CIFS. |

69427 | Send files from Linux to Android via ssh | I want to send some specific files from my linux PC to my android device. I'd like to send it automatically using terminal commands, so there will be no drag and drop files. I don't know what is the best communication way to send file via wifi. I understand how to send using ftp by downloading 'ftp server' app on my android, but that's not suitable to my work since it needs to open an internet browser on my PC and transfer like a file manager.

13540 | How much does Android use Wi-Fi for network discovery when not connected? | When I have Wi-Fi turned on, but not connected to any network, how much does Android use the Wi-Fi function? I'm asking this because apparently Wi-Fi activity uses considerable* amounts of battery. Is the device constantly scanning for Wi-Fi signals to find a network to connect to? Or does it only do it at some intervals to save battery, so that all significant battery use happens only when it's connected? Are there any settings related to this? (I have Android 2.2.1 but I'm interested in information about other recent versions as well if there are significant differences.) * - _"considerable" should not be interpreted as a synonym of "large" or "too much". I'm not suggesting Wi-Fi drains my battery immediately, just that the energy consumption is worthy of considering._ |

7882 | How do I fix pwd (print working directory) on Cyanogenmod 7? | I recently started using Cyanogenmod and I noticed some odd behavior in the shell for certain commands. The command works as expected in the Terminal app directly on the phone, but strange things occur when connected by ssh. For instance `pwd`: /data/dropbear # pwd /data/dropbear # which pwd /system/xbin/pwd /data/dropbear # busybox pwd /data/dropbear /data/dropbear # ls -l /system/xbin/pwd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 1 23:30 pwd -> busybox As you can see, `pwd` prints a blank line ![enter image description here][1]when typed normally at the command line. Even though it is just a link to `busybox`. I've fooled around with other embedded systems (DD-WRT), and noticed `busybox` was set up the same way - and works. The way it's behaving here breaks functionality with WinSCP, which depends on `pwd` when it connects. I thought I could be a little clever here and use WinSCP to transfer files to my phone over my wireless lan. But as you can see it isn't quite working yet. For the record I'm using a Motorola Droid, Cyanogenmod 7 RC4, and also PuTTy from a Windows 7 machine. |

62518 | How can I get a good route for many way-points? | I need an app that can search for me all the various places for different keywords like "beauty salon" and "web design" (the keywords are chosen by the user) in a specific region (e.g. my city) and then give me an optimum route for the "beauty salon" ∪ "web design" places in function of accessibility (the app has to know the public transport routes). Is there any app that can do this for Android? It would spare me from making a lot of calculations. There are around 700 places in my city. Imagine doing an optimum route for all of them. If there isn't, then I got you a very good idea, for a possibly viral app. I can't start making such an app, because I don't have time. I have to sell. That's it. So, there must be another solution. Did someone got into the same situation as mine? PS: It's not like I don't know HOW to do it, it's the fact that I don't have time. Programmatically you can do it by following a backtracking model. For every optimum route calculated, the app shall send the data to a server so the next time you won't be obliged to recalculate. For the server, you'll use a a search engine, so everyone can access a previous route. Afterwards, you can gradually implement stop lights, traffic. Gradually because you don't want to overstress the CPU at first. |
62512 | How to change equalizer presets with Tasker? | I am not using a third party application downloaded on the Play Store, but the **Sound enhancement** menu that comes pre-installed on some devices (can be found on `Settings -> Equalizer` on _Play Music_ for example).

46642 | Why is Kivy Launcher giving "your device isn't compatible" with Nook HD+? | When I bought my Nook HD+ a week after Google Play was enabled for it, one of the first apps I installed was the Kivy Launcher. It worked great for a few times, then stopped working mysteriously - wouldn't even generate a log file. I finally decided to uninstall it and reinstall again. Now when I go back to the Play Store, it shows a message under the app icon: > Your device isn't compatible with this version. I have no idea why it wouldn't be compatible, since it worked the first time I tried it. Is it possible that B&N black-listed it? What other conditions would generate this message? |

44643 | Galaxy GT-P1000, in recovery mode, which button is "Home Key"? | In the Galaxy GT-P1000 Tab, when you're in "Recovery Mode", `Volume Up` & `Down` is used for scrolling. But which button is referred to as `Ok` or `Home Key` to select? As far as I know, the `Menu` Key, `Home` Key, and `Back` Key are soft keys that only light up after a full Boot, while in Recovery Mode, these three keys do not come up (lights up). Right now, after successfully flashing my GT-P1000 stock rom, the instructions says that I should go into recovery mode by pressing `Volume-Up` button together with `Power` button and enter the recovery mode and use the `Volume up` and `Down` to scroll to "wipe/factory reset" to complete my upgrade. I could not find the "Home Key" that I needed select that option after scrolling to "wipe/factory reset" and my Tab won't boot fully either. I need these answers quickly to get my Tab working. At the moment, the Tab continues to loop back to rebooting around the Samsung Logo. |
7263 | Long boot time in Honeycomb | I just got a motorola xoom, love it so far, but it surprises me that the initial boot of the device takes so long (approx 1 minute). I figured with less RAM than my PC, a less "hoggy" OS (honeycomb vs win 7), and the benefit of a solid state hard drive, that the xoom should be able to boot from off to on-and-functional in like 20 seconds. does anyone know of a way to decrease the boot time in Honeycomb? Thanks! |
54422 | Where to find diagnostic information as to why mobile data won't turn on | I've had a Samsung Galaxy S3 for a little over a year now and not had too many problems with it. This afternoon, however, it's decided it won't connect to mobile data at all. I've had similar things on this and previous android phones, so I've tried: * making sure wifi isn't on * checking that mobile data is enabled (!) * checking the AP settings (these are actually locked down by my network provider - O2 UK) * turned on & off airplane mode * restarted * powered off & on * powered off, removed the battery and powered it back on In all cases, I get no mobile data icon (so it's not even trying to connect from what I can tell) and I get no connectivity. Phone calls and wifi are working just fine. Is there anywhere diagnostic information is kept around the status of the mobile data connection? If there's an error occurring, that would certainly be useful! I did drop the phone a few days ago, but the mobile data has been working fine since then... but I guess it could still be related somehow. Even if that is the case and there's a hardware fault, the same thing applies - where is the diagnostic info? I'm on the O2 UK stock image by the way - 4.1.2 / JZO54K.I9300XXEMC2 |

54424 | USB connectivity problems with Nexus 7 2013 | I've just acquired Nexus 7 (2013) and can't connect it to my PCs. All drivers I have (one from Android SDK, as I'm a developer, and the second from the Android site here, named as `latest_usb_driver_windows.zip` btw) do not install either under Windows 7, or Windows XP. PC discovers new device as "Nexus 7", but wizard says "could not find the software on your computer" when I specify folder with drivers. After some unsuccessful trials, I decided to disable MTP and mass storage modes on the Nexus, just to eliminate these parts of driver - in fact I need only debugging via USB. I enabled the debugging via USB at very beginning, and it shows up in Android's notification bar, but the device does not show up in adb/Eclipse. So I switched MTP and mass storage OFF via notification area. This did not help to attach the new device. But now I can't enable either MTP or storage mode back. They are missing in notifications, and they are missing in Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> More, where they are supposed to be. So the question number 1: how one can switch MTP and storage mode ON in Android 4.3, specifically on Nexus 7 (2013), other way than via notifications? I saw similar question on the Internet, and the only answer was to reboot the device - in some cases (from time to time!) this worked for someone. I restarted Nexus, but still nothing USB-related shows in settings. Also I'd appreciate any clues on how to connect Nexus 7 (2013) to Windows PC? I should mention, that I have Nexus 7 of the first version, and I'm able to debug apps using it, that this first Nexus is connected to the same PC successfully. This brings another problem, because I do not want to lose connectivity with the first device by complete removal of drivers, because I have no guarantee that after this the first device will not become lost in the same manner as the second. Thanks in advance. |
54425 | How is GPS stack organized on Android, down to UART level? | I had some reading on location faking, and got eye caught on the report of using "fake NMEA data from UART port". Can anyone clarify, does Android GPS stack HAL supports direct access to one of the UART I/O pins with GPS receiver chip connected? Or the original post author should have written his own HAL extension in order to read from UART? What are the abilities of standard GPS HAL and how it is interfaced to chips? (e.g. are most available phones/tablets - like Google Nexus - got their GPS integrated into RF chip core, or they are still using external chip hooked to UART/I2C/other bus)? |
54428 | Convert handwritten note to text | The Samsung S-note app has a handwriting recognition mode that will turn handwriting to text in more or less real time, but it slows down input enough for it to not be really practical to use when jotting notes in meetings.

Is there a folder like that on my android phone after installing Google Drive? The idea would be to make a 'photos' folder in there and save all my photos from the camera in that folder. |
6208 | How can I determine why my phone won't sleep? | When my phone won't go to sleep, what is the best way to trouble-shoot what the problem and/or offending app is? (In my case I am running CyanogenMod, and so I don't know if the solution will be the same or different than for stock Android) |
59612 | Installing the OEM USB Drivers for Android | I seem to be unable to get as far as installing the drivers (windows 8). I go to device manager and go through the steps to point it to the downloaded driver location (I've tried getting the drivers from google sdk, downloading it from google by itself and getting it from asus), and every time I hit 'next' after pointing it to the driver folder it immediately goes to a "Windows was unable to install your Nexus 7" page. "Windows could not find driver software for your device". I can't figure out what's going on. I don't know if stackoverflow's the place to ask this but I can't find any information on it and I've run out of resources. Sorry for the lack of formatting, I'm not in a right state of mind. |
59613 | How do I install a self compiled android image onto an SD card, and run Android from said sd card? | I have compiled a generic version of Android KitKat from source, and run it in the Android SDK emulator. I now want to take that version of Android I created, which sits in my `../out/target/product/generic/` folder and install it to run on an SD card in a tablet. How would I go about partitioning, formatting, copying over all the required Android files, etc.? |
59616 | Android keyboard crashes continuously | Since this afternoon the Android keyboard crashes continuously on my phone, Samsung Galaxy S2. I have Avatarrom installed. I tried to delete the Dalvik Cache (cache/dalvik cache and data/dalvik cache), restarted the phone, but that didn't help. Today I installed BTSync (Bittorrent Sync) on my phone. I don't know if it has anything to do with these problems. (See update below - I have disabled App Protector!) I have App Protector installed, and it protects the system menu, so I can't open that. I can't open the Playstore to download SSHdroid or some other tool that will allow me to remotely access the phone. I cannot paste passwords into App Protector. I don't have a second keyboard installed. I do have ES File Explorer installed, without protection, and can use that to clear the cache or remove files. It has root access. Rom Toolbox is installed without protection. I can open the App Manager in Room Toolbox, but cannot remove App Protector. Freezing the app doesn't work either. Because the keyboard crashes so often it's difficult to do anything. So I'm wondering what options are left for me. I have lockeck myself out it seems. Of course I can install a new rom, but if possible I want to avoid that route. What suggestions do you have? * * * UPDATE I managed to disable App Protector. I copied a text file with the password for App Protector to the phone. I copied the text, and I could copy the password and that worked, so I disabled it immediately. I have installed Thumb Keyboard, but that doesn't help. |
59617 | Edit navigation bar (Soft Buttons)? | I just bought a low-end Android tablet (using Android 4.2.2), and it has 6 virtual buttons on the bottom of the screen : * Home * Apps * Back * Volume down * Volume up * Screenshot  I don't need the last 3, since I have physical buttons for the volume, and I rarely make screenshots. I looked for a way to remove them but couldn't find anything. Any suggestion appreciated. Thanks |
41160 | How do I remove pending/in-progress downloads | A few days ago, I tried to save an attachment from official Gmail app and it could not finish download due to some connection errors. Now, I'm seeing the notification every time without any progress. It just stays in the notification area and sliding the notification does not remove the download. This file download was started from Gmail app and I see the same type of notification in other downloads from different apps so I'm guessing there is a central download progress going on. I tried turning the phone off, removing the battery and SIM.  (Click image to enlarge) How can I list and remove these downloads ? |
59619 | Android photo viewer that doesn't blank screen | I have many photos of my family on my phone. I like to draw with my daughters and I invariably end up drawing family members. It would be really nice to have an android phone app that displays a photo and simply leaves it there without allowing the screen to dim or to lock the phone. Certainly such permissions are commonly used by video player apps, but photo viewer apps seem to always allow screen dimming and phone locking. Is there such a photo viewer app? I would expect a handful, but haven't been able to find one. (Yes, I know display costs battery, and that if I don't close it my battery will be drained.) |
32527 | Galaxy Nexus: Safely Remove the device in Linux? | I'm using Linux Mint 13 MATE (based from Ubuntu 12.04) as my main operating system. I have been using the adb shell and use push and pull in transferring to and from my Galaxy Nexus. As I have read somewhere that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus USB port is sensitive and can easily get broken, I would like to ask if it is safe to just remove the USB cord when I don't need it? Or is there a command I need to type via terminal to have it safely remove or unmount my Galaxy Nexus? |
17060 | How can I configure my phone to show random background wallpapers from my pictures galery? | I know how to set a static picture from my photo gallery as a background wallpaper picture. However, I would like to see a new picture every time I turn the screen on. Is there a way to configure my Android smartphone to do this? Or maybe some app that does something like this? I'm using a Samsung Galaxy 551, with Android 2.2 (Froyo). |
32521 | Ext2 partion mounted then after linking apps it can not be mounted! | I have Xperia Active with FXP CM 10 installed Yesterday I partitioned a second partition on my sd card so as I can link apps to sd Then, It was mounted, I linked the apps and everything was just GREAT!!! Then, I slept for about 12 hours and when i'm awake i found the apps I linked yesterday are not shown. Link2sd couldn't mount the partion, although he could see it!! Minitool partition wizard can not see the partition "although I used it yesterday to create it!!" And now, the windows doesn't read the sd card at all!! Please, any ideas??? Thanks |
54392 | Recieved an SMS that deleted all my SMS | A weird thing happened to me today. I received an SMS and upon opening it from the notification bar on top, my SMS are all gone. I didn't even get to read the message. I have my SMS backed-up from a week ago so it's not much of an issue. But then how can this possibly happen? I am using GoSMS and CyanogenMod 7.2 btw. Any thoughts on what could've caused this? **Update** Okay now 5 days later, all my contacts have disappeared on it's own. I wasn't doing anything at all. I just notice my contacts are all gone. I did re-sync from Google and they're all back but what could possibly cause that? |

2205 | Can't find Angry Birds | Same websites are reporting that angry birds is available in the android market. However I can't find it on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S in New Zealand). I have tried the bar code, the download links and searching the android market from my phone the app just isn't there. Whats going on? Is my phone not supported? Is my country not supported? Is my OS version (2.1) not supported? |
80806 | How to block a number in Sony Xperia J | I intend to block a number that is in my contact list. Unfortunately I can't find any option to block it. I was told that I should add it to some Reject list. When I open the contact and press Menu, I see only 4 options: * Modify * Send contact * Delete contact * Set as default Where should I add it to the reject list? |
80800 | Can ROM APKs self-update without violating Google Play policies? | Last year Facebook's hands were slapped by Google for updating their APK outside of the Google Play update process. Google then introduced language in their Developer Program Policies. > An app downloaded from Google Play may not modify, replace or update its own > APK binary code using any method other than Google Play’s update mechanism. How is this to be interpreted across two cases?... * Is making the APK available for download for those that do not want to enable a Google account on the device a violation of this policy? * If an APK ships with the ROM, is it considered an "app downloaded from Google Play"? Can such an app be eligible for updating through other means? Can such an app update itself? In other words, are APKs originating from a ROM exempt? |
80802 | battery drain- Panasonic T 41 | My battery drains every 2 min when I use else remains constant. Takes 3-5 minutes to step a point of charge. Battery usage states WiFi taking 32 and idle as 32 percentage whereas my WiFi Is off Android KitKat 4.2.2 |

1756 | Android Market - Want to see Best Applications | Is there any way to see "Top Best (i.e. Top 10/50/100, etc.) applications" in Android Market as we are looking in AppStore ? I means to say which applications/Games are famous amongst the people as "Angry Bird" is famous game in Appstore, applications may have either higher ratings or higher viewer, how do i come to know about applications in android market? |
1750 | AppBrain offers to update app that marketplace does not | The Appbrain app is offering to update my Maps, Street View and Facebook app. In the Android Marketplace, I can't see any option to update (though I have never updated an app before so I don't know how the update would appear). I am wondering if this difference has something to do with HTC customisations. Should I allow Appbrain to update these applications or not? |
28361 | Nexus 7 stuck in a boot loop | I have a two-week-old Google/Asus Nexus 7 tablet, unrooted and otherwise standard. Yesterday it ran out of charge a _lot_ faster than it usually does, and wouldn't seem to recharge. When it finally ran completely out of juice it shut down. Now when I turn it on, it gets stuck in an endless boot loop. I contacted Google's support and they're looking to send out a new item. However if I go that road, I'll lose the data on there. Has anyone experienced this issue? Is there anything else I could try? Thanks! |
28364 | transfer files from Mac to nexus 7 via bluetooth? | I forgot the USB cable and I have some files on the Mac that I would like to transfer to my nexus 7. Is it possible to do this via bluetooth? Is there an app that can do this? |
28365 | Is it possible to do an advanced compare of two apps based on instalation history? | Is there any tool which classifies apps by their features. Something like Pandora (music genome) for apps (apps genome). For example I installed 'Chess Free' and after 3 months I installed 'Free Chess' (app2). Can I somehow see a matrix which would say: app2 can save games (unlike app1), app1 I can customize figure icons. (to better see the king vs. queen). App 2 has ads on top (app1 does not). Perhaps this is asking too much. and Google may not like it so it would have to bee from external start-up. Or alternatively (no matrix) - can I only read reviews of users who (1) wrote a review for app2 and (2) also have installed app1 and (3) mention app1 name in their review. (i.e., "app2 in comparison to app1 review"). Or any server which comes close to this vision? |

11160 | android phone or small device with qwerty physical keyboard with Ctrl and Alt keys? | Is there any Android phone or similarly-sized device with qwerty physical keyboard including Ctrl and Alt keys? What do sysadmins use for typing on Android devices? |
11162 | How can I change the account used for contact sync? | My phone currently synchronizes the contacts with my personal Google account. I would like to change that so it would synchronize the contacts with an other account of mine. I added the other account, but in the synchronization settings it's empty. I can't see the same options that I see in my personal account's settings. (My personal account contains Gmail, Google Calendar, and Contacts... there isn't Gmail and Calendar associated with my other account, so don't seeing it might be expected, but it definitely has Contacts.) What can possibly cause this? Is there a way to still make the synchronization happen that way? (I use Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro with Android 2.1, and I don't want to root my phone and load a custom ROM yet.) |
8765 | How can you determine what programs you installed last? | Following my question about logs I wonder if there is a way **to determine the last updates and applications which have been installed**. **Does Android keep a chronological list of installed programs and updates ?** _I am running Froyo 2.2.1 if that should make a difference._ |
8767 | legitimate version Android 2.3 available for developers? | I have seen a bunch of posts online saying that you can download some hack of android 2.3 on your phone..are these safe to use? or better yet, is there a legitimate version that I can download and use from the android dev site? |
8760 | Phone calls - the other person can't hear me | My phone has just started having a problem where on phone calls, the other person can't hear me. They just hear some static. I can hear them just fine. It's the same whether I call them or they call me. I tried restarting my phone, I looked at the settings and couldn't see anything obvious whereby I could have muted myself. I tried turning the call on Speaker and off again - no difference. Any ideas? If it's relevant, my phone is a Samsung Galaxy S running Froyo. |
50895 | How Android Custom Recovery roots the phone? | I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note n7000. I performed some acrobatics and booted into the Stock Recovery of my phone and installed a zip that contained Philz CWM 6 Touch custom recovery.

How can the said custom recovery even gain access to protected system level stuff without requiring some authentication etc. in the first place? |

8490 | Removing or blocking default Android apps | I have developed a software for a company, not for a personal use, and I need to block some app access on Android. I need to block the user from making calls, sending sms, using the Android Market, using Gmail and several other apps. As I see it there are two options: 1 - Uninstalling default apps with "Titanium Backup" and If need to use this device to do calls again I will reinstall the original ROM or restore a Titanium Backup. 2 - Use a software with a ignore list and this software will kill all the ignored process(Backgronud, Foreground), and this software needs to use a adminitrator password for configuration. So does this software exists? Uninstalling is a good option? Are there other options? |
8499 | GPS app to follow a prepared itinerary | I am preparing a 1-week bicycle trip. We can't use high-traffic roads, so I am preparing a quite complex route on small country roads, using Google Maps. With my phone saddled on my bicycle, is there a GPS app that will "guide" me using the itinerary I crafted? Turn-by-turn would be ideal, but just writing the itinerary as a map overlay would be better than nothing. Note: My phone is WiFi only so I will need an application that can cache a lot of maps, like AndNav2 or Maverick. Also, I am stuck with Android 1.5 |
8498 | Why have i received a message that wasnt sent from the said sender? | I received a message in error yesterday, i am using the Samsung Galaxy. It wasnt sent by my friend, who i was chatting with over sms at that time, but i still received it and it shows time of sending at that time itself. I believe had received the same message from my friend around 2 months back, it may be the same message. Has this happened with anyone else? |
28984 | Why does HTC Incredible not update? | My HTC Incredible (Verizon) has tried to update to ~~either Ice Cream Sandwich (android 4.0.x) or just~~ build # 4.x ~~(I'm not sure which)~~ for the past two weeks or so. Either way, it has not been succesful. Sometimes I'll get a notification telling me that the update has been downloaded, and asks me whether I wan't to reboot to install. I tried that a bunch of times, but neither time did it even shut down after the ten second delay/grace period. Once I tried going to Settings > About Phone > System updates, and downloaded the update and tried to install, but the same thing happened: ten second countdown, then nothing. Now, the notification never pops up, and Settings > About Phone > System updates indicates that no new updates are out. What's happening? Thanks! |
28985 | Phone doesn't ring or show missed call, later a voicemail appears | I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy 2 and have had a sporadic problem: A person calls me, my phone doesn't ring, kicks them over to voice mail, doesn't show as a missed call, and then the voice mail shows up on my phone as much as an hour later. I have tested this from my land line and sometimes the phone does everything it's supposed to and other times doesn't ring and doesn't log a missed call but records a voice mail. |
28983 | How do I run an application on my phone from my PC? | I have a phone with a touch-screen malfunction, I want to run applications on it from my computer, connected by USB. Is that possible? I've tried applications like http://mymobiler.com, but that has failed me (I can see the screen, it's not responsive). Sadly, I have ADB turned off, so I cannot use applications like the android screencast, or DroidExplorer. |
28981 | How do I reset the fade effect on ICS? | I recently installed ICS on my Samsung Galaxy Ace and I have accidentally enabled the fade effect throughout the phone, but now I cannot find the setting that I changed. I don't want to perform a factory reset. Does anyone know how to reset this fade effect on ICS? The effect is being applied throughout the phone, while displaying system popups, pressing menu buttons etc. |
28988 | Set a particular browser as "always" | I have Galaxy Nexus with JB. I got stock browser on it and Chrome and I also installed Firefox just to keep it there since I'm a developer and I can test stuff on all three. But the question I'm having is, what happens if I set a particular browser as "always" when it asks me which one I'd like to use? I keep pressing "just once" because I don't know hot would I change it later if I desire to do so? 1. Is it possible to change/reset this later? How? 2. Does "always" set it as default just for that particular app that's redirecting to browser or does it set OS-wide? |
