79528 | Missing Google BackupTransportService in Cyanogenmod 11 | Google backup seems not to be working on my Nexus 4 with CM11 (snapshot M9). I've the Google Apps installed (`gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip`), but when I try to list the transports, here's what I get: $ adb shell bmgr list transports * android/com.android.internal.backup.LocalTransport Is this expected? Under `Settings` -> `Backup & reset` I find this screen  |
79529 | "loading ... ..." problems with applications | I'm having a problem with a tablet where it is continuously bringing up ads when in an application like "Candy Crush" and "Bubble Witch Saga 2" but not in Facebook and sometimes only displays "loading ... ..." and restarts the application. Is there something I could do? |
34528 | GT-I9100G screen replacement | I have a GT-I9100G and the screen went bad, I'd like to replace it but all the screen replacements on amazon are for the GT-I9100 version. They look the same but I am still not sure if this will work with my GT-19100G? Any ideas? |
15310 | How to lock Samsung Galaxy S2? | My Samsung Galaxy S2 locks after some time I don't touch the screen. How could I lock it immediately, without waiting for this time to pass? |
34521 | Can't get Nexus 4 to be recognized by computer | So my nexus 4 is rooted and unlocked. Well actually Im not sure, because after updating with the OTA it seems to have lost that capability. Even though there are SU Binaries still there. Anyway, I am trying to install Cyanogenmod Nightly, but I cannot get my phone to show up in my computer or Device manager. I have the drivers install and all. I have tried with usb debugging on and off. I have tried in the Fastboot mode. I have tried after a factory reset. I'm at a lost as to what I can do....When I try to go to recovery it says "No Command" or something SO strange, Thanks BTW: I have tried two different win7 computers, same result |
34523 | SD card not recognized by Acer A500 | I just bought a used Acer A500 16 GB tablet yesterday. Everything works great -- except it doesn't recognize my 16 GB microSD card for storage, but says there is no external SD storage or it is emulated. I don't know a lot about rooting and such; the guy just told me it was rooted and is running JellyBean 4.1, which works great. Does anyone know how to get my SD card recognized again? |
34524 | Keep getting "Error retrieving information from server. [RH-01]" from the play store | It used to work fine but now when I open the Play Store app it says "Error retrieving information from server. [RH-01]" and I can't do anything. I tried clearing the cache of the Google Play Store and Google Play Services but it still has the problem. Gmail still works from the phone so I don't think it's a problem connecting to my google account. I have an Xperia Arc with custom rom, which turns out to be the problem. See accepted answer. |
26636 | How to I force a bluetooth connection with a paired device while that device is currently connected with another paired device? | I have 3 jellybean devices (xoom, N7, & GNex) all paired with a single set of bluetooth headphones (Sony DR-BT21G). Occasionally I get settled in with a device to watch netflix, only to find that my headphones are currently connected to the last used device in another room. Right now I have to get up and find the other device and either shut it off, or manually disconnect the bluetooth connection with the headphones before I can manually connect with the device I want to use. Seems pretty clumsy, especially when I'm feeling exceptionally lazy. So.. How can I tell the device I'm holding to just "take over" the connection, forcing the other device to disconnect? |
26634 | Why does my Nexus S not see the Jelly Bean update? | My Nexus S is running the stock "soju" build of ICS from Google (build IMM76D). However, I have not seen the OTA update for Jelly Bean. Am I running the wrong version? Do I need to change some settings? Or should I expect the device to see the update soon? |
17 | Clock Replacements for Motorola Droid Docking Station | I have a Motorola Droid (v1) and a docking station. When the phone is docked, it automatically runs the Clock app, which isn't very configurable. Are there any alternatives to the Clock app, or is there any way to configure the phone to run a different app while docked? |
6405 | List of apps ever downloaded | I bought myself a new Android phone since my last one died (overheated). So I've lost all the applications. Is there some kind of download history to find what you've downloaded via your Google Account or something? I'm aware of something similar in `Market > My Apps`, but that contains only what you have on the current device. |
26638 | Why are all contacts grayed out in Google Talk? | I have just noticed that all my contacts in Google Talk are grayed out. I can't chat, see their online status or otherwise use the app. What happened? Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot or fix this? I have a Nexus S. I don't use Google Talk often, so this is the first time I have noticed the issue. There were a couple of recent events that may be related. A few days ago I received the official Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OTA update from my carrier (I previously had 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich). Also, there was a major Google Talk outage that affected most desktop and mobile users. I searched around and found possibly related reports, but with a few differences. For example, I don't have settings for turning off data usage. Also, I can correctly use Play Store and other Google apps. I cleared the Google Talk cache but nothing changed. |
28579 | Is there a way to trigger the menu in Play Books without a menu button? | On my HTC One X there is no menu button. Once I have selected a book and started reading all the menus disappear (for changing font size or scrolling through the book), the only way I can get them to re-appear is to switch out of the Play Books application and then switch back, the menu then appears for a few seconds. Is there an easier way to trigger the menu to appear when I don't have a menu button? |
55328 | Corrupt ROM file at CyanogenMod server | I am trying to install CyanogenMod in my N7000 issue is the file I am downloading `cm-10.1.3-n7000.zip` from here seems to be corrupted as when I try to install it from sdcard through `install zip from sdcard.` it gives me similar unable to read error. `cant open cm-10.1.3-n7000.zip (bad)` Plus I also tried extracting it manually on my PC same happens and the zip seems to be corrected I have tried downloading couple of time using download managers but still no changes. Is there any other link/server from where I can get the latest ROM for my phone or any other ways to solve the issues? |
55323 | How can I resize the system partition in NAND using PhoenixSuit / Livesuit? | I'm using a Android 4.2.2 ROM (sun7i_android_sugar-cubieboard2-8192cu.img) for Cubieboard. I need more room in system partition for install more goodies! After flashing, the partition table is like this: NAME SIZE MOUNTPOINT LABEL nand 3.8G |-nand1 16M Volumn |-nand2 16M |-nand3 16M |-nand4 512M |-nand5 512M |-nand6 16M |-nand7 32M |-nand8 320M |-nand9 16M PRIVATE |-nand10 256M `-nand11 2.1G The SYSTEM partition is the nand4 (nandd). As you can see, its size is 512MB. (http://linux-sunxi.org/Android/partitions) Inspecting the sys_partition.fex file, I can see nandd info: ;------------------------------>mmcblk0p7/nandd [partition] name = system size = 1048576 downloadfile = "system.fex" user_type = 0x2 The first point is: 1048576 is not 512MB ( it's 1GB ). Any changes in this file do NOT changes anything in final result after flashing the re-packed image (the partitions size does not change). How can I change the partitions size in "Stock" ROMs before flashing to NAND? 1. All of these steps is working fine: Unpacking stock ROM, repacking stock ROM, flashing stock ROM (with PhoenixSuit). 2. I don't need resize the partition IN the device. I need resize BEFORE flashing, to share my new ROM with other people. |
61491 | Security of Android tethered hotspot | Basically each time I activate my phone's (Samsung S3 4.3 rooted) tethered Wi- Fi, to use the Internet on my iPad, someone can remotely connect and see what I'm doing. Even with WPA2 + strong ass password + MAC filtering. Why I know this is a long story, let's just say I have a stalker and he talks about his exploits to someone who's loyal to me. I'm assuming that it's possible since I've already have had my home Wi-Fi hacked with the WPS exploit. Is there anything I can do? As in alternatives to the stock app of anything else. |
77298 | HTC Desire 816 -How to use a particular sim for data usage and restrict the other? | I have got an HTC Desire 816 phone. I am not able to restrict the data usage to only one sim.

50667 | Is it possible to turn of the GSM radio and still use data connection? | I recently starting using a Samsung Galaxy S4. I need to use a special phone at my work. For that purpose I have a duo card where I turn off one phone to use the other. The problem is that I can only turn off all connections on the Samsung (Airplane Mode), including the mobile internet connection. My question is: can I turn off the phone capabality (GSM?) on the Samsung while maintaining my mobile network on the Samsung? |
24779 | Samsung p7510 versus p5110 : what are the main differences? | I'm in a tight schedule to buy someone a tablet in the ipad2-range, but I want to buy an Android device. After some research I decided to buy the Samsung Tab 10.1" P5110 (I don't need 3G). However the Samsung Tab 10.1" p7510 is much easier to find in a short term. When comparing both I got a bit confused because I don't get the main differences between both models. Is there an obvious 'best one' ? |

28643 | How can I check if installed apps are latest versions? | I used to have an app on my Desire HD that I _think_ was called Something Dog. When launched, it would list all the installed apps and whether they were the latest versions. My Desire HD crashed a while ago, and all my data was lost. I've since bought a One X and I'd like to have this app again. Does anyone know what it's called? |
74929 | How WhatsApp send audio files or video clips instantly? | When I try to forward any video clips that I downloaded to my phone from any other contact it sends immediately (ie without any uploading) . Also attaching some mp3 files are also sent instantly without showing any delay in uploading? How is this possible? I think they are storing all media files on their server. |
66794 | "Mediaserver" under Power management / Battery usage (xperia ZL) | I have a Sony Xperia ZL running Android 4.2.2 . There's a background process named "Mediaserver" which uses most of my battery, while the phone is on standby. If I charge it to 100% and leave it alone, the "Mediaserver" process by itself will account for some 30% of all battery usage after 8 hours or so... Mediaserver manages to have "Keep awake" CONSTANTLY! I've spent quite a lot of time searching about this, and went around many ideas, including that this excessive battery usage could be caused by some corrupt media (audio/picture/video) file stored on the device. But, despite having flashed several stock ROMs from around the world, without even having any kind of media (or even any app but the stock ones), the problem persists! I have also tried the apps "Rescan Media Root" and "Mediaserver Killer" from the Play store (of course, I do have root access). For my misfortune, they were not useful. As a fairly advanced user, who likes to be in control of things, I've tried to find "Mediaserver" under Settings / Apps hoping to stop it but it's not there. I'm believing to have found it under /system/bin/Mediaserver (no extension), but how can I stop it from running all the time? It seems to me that deleting/renaming this file isn't really a good idea. Ps: I also tried a few Task Managers from Play, still couldn't find/stop the running process. Any ideas on this will be appreciated, including possible some more information on how to manage built-in background process for Android. Anything, really, doesn't matter if involving ADB or running commands from Terminal Emulator. Thank you everyone! |
28649 | Charging paused. Battery temperature too high or too low | I have a Samsung Galaxy player that has been giving me the message "Charging paused. Battery temperature too high or too low". I left it unplugged and powered down all night, and it still gave me the message as soon as I turned it on. The battery should be at room temperature. I've turned it off and on several times. I've tried removing the battery and putting it back. I have no idea what's wrong. It's been working fine for the past 9 months. Can anyone help? |
24774 | How to test suspected hardware on Android | I have a problem with my HTC Sensation that I think is either due to problems with the electronics that interfaces to the battery or a memory problem. Basically the phone turns off spontaneously by itself every now and then. Very often - as far as I can see - when the CPU is running 100% (and hence there are a big battery drain)... Turning on the phone again can easily take 2-3 turns before it is running stable (until next time). It seems to be starting first time though if connected to power... If this occurred on a Windows PC, I would first download a hardware test/diagnostics application and see whether this could find anything... ...but for all the usual security reasons, the Android platform is way more closed than the PC/Windows platform and I suspect that it is not so easy to install a diagnostics app to test the hardware. So... how do you go about this then? Short of using a full-blown hardware analyser, which I don't have access to :-) [Note that I have rooted my device and don't mind flashing a new ROM if needed...] |
66793 | How to stream video from one device to other? | I need to stream video from my Android device to other Android device over Wi- Fi, but I do not want to have a server in between. How can I do this? |
22025 | How do Mobile Access Points work? | I have this data plan that gives unlimited mobile browsing. It only works with the browser, so http and https. If I tried to use the Maps or Youtube app, it won't connect. I enter the APN settings with the provided server, port (80), username, password to connect. There's a few proxy apps like ProxyDroid that let me use Maps, Youtube, Gmail, etc. with that same data plan. I just enter those APN settings into the ProxyDroid settings. Can someone tell me what the proxy is doing to give me access like this? |
61228 | Where is the mic located on Samsung Galaxy S2 | I have downloaded an app for calculating distance of the phone to the wall It is known as sonar. I want to test this app. So, I covered the `speakers`  of the phone which could be could found on the back side at the bottom of the phone.On doing so the app showed noticeable change in the distance calculated. However, I could not find the mic's exact location. I want to cover up the `mic`, and would like to observe any noticeable distance change. Then are couple of holes on the periphery of the phone, however, on closing each of them I could not find any noticeable. Can anybody show me in picture when can I exactly find the location of the mic. Thanks. |
61229 | i9300 getting random freeze/hang up irrespective of recovery/kernel/rom | I was running CWM recovery + Siyah kernel + CM10.1 + Touchwiz 4.1.2 (dual boot setup) perfectly fine on my Galaxy s 3 for almost a year. But yesterday I decided to update all of those and updated to latest CWM using ROM manager, then changed the kernel to googy max2 and installed CM11. Everything worked properly except that my phone would freeze or hang up randomly at any time(whether swiping through homescreens or updating apps or even during standby). So I changed my ROM to S4 Revoution ROM (tried with both googy max2 and devil kernel). However, even this ROM gave me same hangup problems. So I moved onto TWRP recovery+ OmniRom but still encountered the same problem multiple times. After getting tired of wasting so much time, I came back to my original setup of CWM+Siyah kernel+CM10.1 thinking I wouldn't face this problem again, but to my aghast, the phone would still freeze randomly. Only a power button reboot would help. Please help, I have no idea what might be causing the problem as I have successfully tried every combination of recovery, kernel and ROM but to no avail. And no, I never manually tinkered with any CPU/GPU frequencies or voltages. Your time and help is greatly appreciated, Thank you. edit:I did a full wipe, flashed everything again, did the emmc check as well as the dummy file generator thing....the hangups have reduced to 2-3 per day from 2-3 per hour but are still there. Should I downgrade my cwm recovery? |

22020 | Why did auto-sync start to upload that much? | It's been a month now that the auto-sync option on my phone makes it upload 30 MB per day _(in addition to my usual upload/download rate)_ and still download only a few hundreds of KB. It blew up my quota in only 10 days so I had to deactivate it. The only app that I installed at that time was the Google Doc app. I recently reactivated the auto-sync and I unchecked the doc sync in: `Settings > Account > my account`, but I'm still uploading 10 spare MB per day. I only kept Gmail, contacts and calendar syncing _(just as before)_. **My questions are:** * Do you know what can cause this, why it changed without any visible reason ? * Are there third-party apps using the Android auto-sync option to enable/disable their own syncing process ? **Note:** I use 3GWatchDog Pro, and this spare MB are shown under "Android System" so it's not very helpful. If relevant, my device is the Motorola DEFY |
61224 | Is there a (root) command line option to force the Verizon Galaxy S4 into 3G mode instead of 4G? | I have a rooted Galaxy S4 on Verizon, and I am wondering whether I can force it to go to 3G only mode using the command line.

22029 | Unable to uninstall apps | I am unable to uninstall any application on my Samsung Galaxy S.

But whenever I reboot my phone those applications are still there in my phone and its as if nothing has changed. Also I keep getting this "settings.google.application has stopped unexpectedly" and am not able to open any of my apps. I tried formatting my internal SD card by connecting it to the PC but that also didn't work. |
61223 | Is it really possible to increase internet speed by using some apps or system modification on Android? | I have an Android phone with EDGE connection, as far as I know is EDGE theoretically can reach 384 Kbps for download speed, thats what my carrier told me, but in reality, the best I can get is around 5 KBps (or 40 in Kbps), most of the time I got only 1-2 KBps (or 8-16 Kbps), chat is delayed, browsing is impossible, thats really far far away between 384 and 40 Kbps. What I want to know is it is really possible to optimize internet connection on Android phone, my phone is rooted, but I just don't know what to do. My carrier told me there is something wrong with my phone, but I already tried with several other EDGE Android phone, and the result is the same, even the problem persist after upgrading my Android from 4.0 to 4.1. Or is it my carrier cheating on me? |

So I thought of making my locally hosted site available over LAN. I managed to do that and can access it fine over the WLAN from another computer. However if I try the same address on my android-phone on any browsers I've tried so far I just get "Webpage not available". Also tried on IOS and it's the same thing as on Android while it's still working on my other Windows7-computer. Why is this? How can this be solved?

56676 | Is my phone listening to me? | I've recently received a Nexus 5, which touts very tight Google Now integration. This weekend I've been visiting my parents. We had a discussion about a local restaurant which they went to last night. I just flicked over to Google Now and it's got a card about that restaurant, and only that restaurant. (we're in a big town, there are many restaurants, and it's by no means the nearest. I've never been there before). Is this a crazy coincidence or is Google Now listening to me?  We've had nothing mention of the restaurant in email's or texts, only a face to face conversation this afternoon while I had my phone out (but not explicitly listening). |

4636 | Email app displays messages in "Sent" by "From:" instead of "To:" | I configured my Email app to point to an existing Yahoo Mail account. When I go into the Sent folder, I see that the Android-composed messages display the recipient (To:), but the older messages display the sender (From:) I checked the headers on several messages. It seems that Email app is selecting first occurrence of "From:" or "To:". So my older messages say... From: To: ...and the "From:" is displayed in the message list The new messages I composed in Froyo have: To: From: ...and the "To:" is displayed in the message list. Is this the expected behavior? I know that some things are different in mobile world, but classically, the "Sent" folder has been special cased to show who the message is being sent to, because that is the most useful information to display in this context. |
4635 | Is it possible to show "all calls" on my Samsung Galaxy S? | Under phone -> logs -> menu key -> view by there are options for all logs, dialled calls, missed calls, received calls, sent messages and received messages.

However, the three screen buttons are `Back`, `Home`, and `Multitask[I think?]` and I can't work out how to bring up the same context menus which I use to use. When I press the `Multitask` button in any app, I just get a list of running apps. Have I missed something? Is there no context menu option in Jellybean?

36313 | Getting rid of "Tethering Detected" popup on Android ICS 4.0? | I just got a Samsung Galaxy S3 that runs Android ICS 4.0.8. When I connect the Galaxy S3 to my Mac laptop and use PDAnet to tether, I often get this popup on the Galaxy S3 screen:  Tethering via PDAnet works great, but the popup can get annoying. I can close the popup, but it comes back a few seconds later. **How can I get rid of this popup permanently?** |
36318 | No Service on Galaxy SL GT I9003 | I have a Samsung Galaxy SL running Android 2.3.6. I bought a new battery and it was working perfectly until I put on recharge. Immidiately after I put it for recharge, it started showing "No Service". It does not receive any network coverage. Everything else is working fine. |
45868 | Xperia V heats up very much near the camera | So I purchased this new Xperia V today, updated to last firmware 9.1.A.1.140, but when I do stuff on the phone even when not too CPU demanding, it heats up very much, and I mean really heated up, near the camera flash... What could be wrong? |
45869 | what is the download mode | could anybody explain what is this download mode? As described in here How to root Innos A35 as I hold vol up +vol down 5 seconds and at the same time connecting the USB cable to my computer it shows up a removable disk and unknown drivers in windows 7. My phone is also Innos A35 device locally sold as i35 from dialog telecom. What are those? And what is this `download` mode? But unlike the recovery mode, I didn't get a screen up. Is these two modes all coming from ROM. what kind of code is there on ROM. [Well in x86 computer I could review a opensource bios implementation, any idea on Android ARM ?].Where that consoles come from? Where is uboot located? Is this download mode is a mode that programmed into a ROM, where I could not change it? I have read the boot procedure of a typical android phone. But can't organize the info with this. |
41368 | How can I directly, wirelessly copy files between Galaxy S3 and Ubuntu? | I would like to copy files between Galaxy S3 and Ubuntu * without giving away too many privileges - just copying said file * without any rooty system modifications (I want to keep the carrier-warranty including their system updates - currently 4.1.2; and I want to show this to hapless users too - without them calling me back...) * without using an USB cable (I know how to do this like in this answer, that is, connecting as a camera ; but this gives one complete rw access in some directories) * preferably without any extra apps to install. It seems there are two options left (when going through the list offered by the "Share via" button): either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. For Bluetooth such a transfer worked with an out-of-the-box preinstalled Windows. So it is not the Android as such which is a problem, rather Ubuntu but there was no answer nor interest on AU. When I try to send it via Bluetooth I just get the notification: "Bluetooth share: Sent 0 successful, 1 failed". However, I can transfer files from Ubuntu to Android. So how can I copy files successfully? |
45860 | No web access on Android 2.3.7 | I have an _LG Optimus V,_ rooted, with Cyangenmod 7.2.1 (BackSide-IHO) that has developed, lately, a weird network problem: While on 3G (or wifi) every app on the system with the exception of the two browsers on the system work perfectly. The browsers, which are Opera and the "built-in" browser cannot get to ANY webpage. They act as though they have no internet connection. Whereas I can fire up an OpenVpn tunnel via WiFi or 3G and it connects fine. Every other network-using app on the system also works fine on either 3G or WiFi. I have the "SetDNS" applet and have changed from Sprint's DNS over Google's with it. This change was LONG before this problem began. As I'm familiar with Linux, I've poked around via `adb shell` to see if I can suss out the weirdness, but nothing jumps out at me. Everything I do at the shell command line having to do with the network works fine. It appears the browsers have _something_ misconfigured.. I have no idea _what_... Does anyone have any idea of what it could be, or what else I could test -- and how to get the browsers work normally again? |
45866 | Xperia V require root permissions every time | I have Xperia V 9.1.A.1.140 and I just rooted it using "Root Many Android" (see closer decription on XDA), and now I installed Titanium Backup and every time the app loads it requires permissions multiple times and every time I try to uninstall and app, why is that? EDIT: And here is the solution - I also rooted it with _motochopper_ (again described at XDA) which installs the SuperSU, and in now only asks the SuperSU for permissions only once and it's working fine now. |
78933 | How to import Yahoo Mail contacts into Google? | I need help with importing my Yahoo Mail email addresses to my Gmail contacts list, using a Samsung Galaxy S4. Whenever I try to email anyone from my Gmail contacts list, I can't because they aren't imported from my Yahoo Mail account. |
15843 | Can I use an Android OS card on the new Nook Tablet? | I am debating between purchasing the Kindle Fire or the Nook Tablet for my son. My main concern with the Kindle is the limited memory. I love the fact that the Nook has the slot for an SD card. However, I've noticed that the prices on many of the games and such on the B&N Nook store are much more than those on Kindle. I read somewhere that there is an Android OS card that can go into the Nook MicroSD slot to make it a full Android tablet. Is this true? Where would I get this card and how much is it? (I'm really totally new to this... sorry). Would this mean that I would be able to go to any Android App store and download games and such from there? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! |
15844 | Is there a way to transmit all sound over wifi from my tablet to my pc? | I want to transmit my sound (from youtube, music files on the tablet, etc) from my tablet to my computer. The closest I can get is controlling my library of music on my computer, but I really want to be able to play a youtube video from the youtube app on my tablet and have it play through my computer. I don't mind buying apps if that is what I need. Any help will be appreciated. |
18940 | How can I control a list of applications in "Share" pop up in Android built in browser? | I'm using Android's built in stock web browser (Froyo 2.2 if it matters), and when I choose "Share page" from the menu, I get a list of like 15 different apps. Of those, I only ever use 2-3, and 99% of the time I use Gmail, which happens to be near the end of the list. 1. How does Android browser compile that list? 2. Is there a way to: * Control which applications appear in the list? * Sort the list the way I would want to? The phone is rooted, so I'm perfectly fine if the answer is "Get a file from filesystem in this location and edit its contents". Also, I don't necessarily need the answer to be 100% permanent - meaning, that if installing an application update will re-add the app to the list, I can live with that. |
18943 | How do I set Wi-Fi sleep policy to Never on Froyo 2.2 Droid X without Advanced Wi-Fi Settings menu? | I've encountered the following instructions on a forum about battery drain > Set Wi-Fi sleep to Never in the `Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi > Settings > Advanced >Wi-Fi Sleep Policy` menu. However, my Droid X (Stock rooted Froyo 2.2) doesn't have "Advanced" option in "Wi-Fi Settings" menu! **How do I set Wi-Fi Sleep Policy?** |
18944 | How can I ensure that I'm logged out of Google Latitude? | When in Google Maps, when I go into the menu, I see "Join Latitude" option next to Latitude icon. When I am on Google Latitude web site, it tells me "Location sharing is not turned on" Does that mean that I am 100% logged out of Google Latitude? The reason I ask is that I was experiencing major battery drain via Google Maps, and many people on forums heavily recommend signing out of Latitude as a solution. However, it seems that my Latitude is already off. |
18948 | CyanogenMod, why doesn't Market self-upgrade? | I've bought a used HTC Magic with CyanogenMod 5 on it. It has Google Market. The market version is 1.713 - which is nowhere near the latest IIRC. In-app billing, for one thing, is not supported. Isn't Google Market supposed to upgrade itself when a new version comes out? Why doesn't mine do so? Probably some kind of CyanogenMod interference. Any good way around that, please? EDIT: debugged the situation a little bit. I happen to know that market updating happens out of the main Market process - the Market (com.android.vending) downloads the update, then fires a broadcast intent UPDATE_MARKET to a receiver in another app (com.android.vending.updater), which in turn installs the package. Here's what I got in the LogCat: > 02-01 02:34:16.155: W/ActivityManager(121): Permission Denial: broadcasting > Intent { act=com.android.vending.UPDATE_MARKET > dat=content://downloads/download/31 } from com.android.vending (pid=1762, > uid=10006) requires com.android.vending.permission.UPDATE_MARKET due to > receiver > com.android.vending.updater/com.android.vending.updater.UpdateMarketReceiver So it looks as if the Market app lacks a permission to invoke the updater. The manifest file of Vending.apk, however, does have a <uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.permission.UPDATE_MARKET" /> line. How is it possible for an app to have a `<uses-permission>`, but receive a permission denial message? EDIT2: the permission com.android.vending.permission.UPDATE_MARKET is marked as "signature" in the MarketUpdater manifest. Meaning only apps signed by the same certificate as MarketUpdater are granted that permission. That could be the reason Market is not granted the permission - could be signed by a different certificate. EDIT3: that's exactly the case. The public key is different. The one on Vending.apk seems to match that on various versions of Vending.apk that are floating around the 'Net. |
23663 | Google two-step authentication and Android lock screen | After many failed screen unlock attempts, the user is required to enter the Google account password. That's a good idea. But what if I enabled Google's two-factor authentication, and then entered the wrong pin/pattern/password two many times? How do I unlock my phone now? How do I login to Google on another machine, when my phone is locked and I can't receive SMSs? Is there anything very obvious I'm missing? Am I supposed to carry a printed version of Android's application-specific password in my wallet? |
40098 | ADB does not work in boot loader mode | I have a Galaxy Nexus 'maguro' and a laptop with Ubuntu 12.10. I'm trying to install Ubuntu Touch preview. I installed the adb and fastboot packages, and adb detects the device when it is booted in to Android. But when I do a reboot-bootloader, it no longer turns up in the devices list. |
40092 | Why can't all rooted phones be unlocked? | I enjoy modding my phone with custom roms, kernel patches, and custom bootloaders. I know that the bootloader/recovery can be overwritten, as can pretty much any partition that exists on the phone. Even the radio can be flashed, though this is not generally an option available since you could permanently brick a phone that way. My question is how phone companies can lock down a phone (ie tie it to their carrier) if a rooted phone gets access to basically everything? I lack the knowledge in the architecture of how a locked phone works, so I'm guessing there has to be some chip that is not accessible. Can someone shed some light as to how exactly a phone gets locked? |
40093 | Google Voice texts delivered hours late/not at all | I use a Google Voice phone number to receive texts, and I have the Google Voice app installed on my device (Atrix, OS:2.3.3). For some reason lately when someone texts my Google Voice account it's not getting sent to my phone. For example: * I got a text at 9:00 this morning (time is now 1PM) * If I visit voice.google.com, I see I have a text in my inbox. * If I open the Google Voice app on my phone, it does the 'synchronizing' spinning wheel animation for a few seconds and then I get the 'new text' notification, which is now 4 hours late. In my Google Voice app's options, I have `Background data: Enabled`. Why isn't it pushing my texts when they are received? I get Gmail messages delivered to my phone near instantly, but I'm not getting the same behavior with GV. Any ideas? |
37199 | Voice Recorder "Phone Storage" | Apparently on my latest HTC phone, the voice recorder default storage setting is set to "Phone Storage" as opposed to "SD Card". I just switched the setting to "SD Card". From my Win 7 PC, I can view the new *.amr files now saved to the SDCard in \My Documents\My Recordings. I want to find and transfer previous 150 recordings stored on "Phone Storage" ultimately to my PC. If I need to go to SDCard first, that's fine, but how? |
37195 | Why are there two settings apps, Settings and Settings Storage | On my Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.1, I see two Settings apps in Settings > Apps. One is name Settings (28KB) and the other is Settings Storage (520KB). Both have the version 4.2.1-533553. Is the storage one for handling the Settings > Storage screen? If so why is there a separate app for that? If not, what is it for? |
37194 | Music plays through phone speaker instead of headphones when app is opened? | This problem started a few days ago and it's extremely annoying in quiet environments. I will be listening to music from any music player app, and whenever I open an app, get a notification, or switch the song the music starts playing from the phone speaker instead of the headphones. How can I stop this? Is this a software issue or a problem with the headphones itself? Is it just something in the settings? I've tried a lot of different methods. Thanks! |
37190 | application cannot be installed in the default install location? | I have an Android Galaxy S1, and have been getting the error "application cannot be installed in the default install location". I am aware that this is a common issue. So I Googled it, and almost everyone is saying to move your apps to the SD card or delete unused games. There's only one problem. My phone won't let me move apps into the SD card, and I have 1.3GB of free app space. While I can download some apps, the more important ones won't download. Anyone have any fixes to this? |

18367 | How to make Android play music reliably, without chopping? | When I try to play music on Android 2.3 (using various players, including PowerAmp) on Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 I get not reliable sound. Music pauses for a short time, for example, when: * I press the power button (especially repeatedly) (`request_suspend_state: sleep;request_suspend_state: wakeup` in dmesg) * When I see messages like `send sigkill to 15497 (ndroid.settings), adj 8, size 6428` in dmesg * When some program reacts to changed screen orientation. * When wifi connection gets established, when I force it to "reassociate" * When I go to/from application from home screen (AWDLauncher), except of to/from WidgetLocker screen. * When I enable/disable Airplane Mode. * When the display is off (the most annoying) When only really stable way to play music is to use StayAwake to force display on, turn off Wi-Fi, turn on Airplane Mode and don't switch applications. Starting CPU hogs like `while true; do true; done` does not affect chopping. And it was playing more or less fine on Android 2.1. "mediaserv" process (that writes to /dev/msm_pcm_out) has realtime io and scheduling priority, but sound is choppy anyway. If I start playing from console with `mplayer -ao pcm:file=/dev/msm_pcm_out` the sound chop less (notably it does not get interrupted by power button / loading bunches of heavy processes), but still behave not normally when screen is off (even `ionice -c1 -p4 cat /dev/urandom > /dev/msm_pcm_out` is choppy) When I start music A by usual way and music B using mplayer to /dev/msm_pcm_out (getting them mixed) music A chops more than usual and I usually hear B when A is in chop. When I turn off screen, both A and B chops in sync (stopping B leads to relatively more fluent playback of A this way). How to play music on Android reliably in presence of background load? Should I report a bug somewhere? **Update** Found a way of playing music. Inconvenient, but _without chopping_ : 1. Start WakeLock in "CPU on, Screen Off, Keyboard off" mode 2. Use mplayer to play music bypassing Android: ionice -c1 -n4 \ schedtool -R -p 3 -e \ mplayer -really-quiet \ -af volume=-26 -quiet \ -ao pcm:file=/dev/msm_pcm_out,nowaveheader \ /mnt/sdcard/music/something.ogg # (created script to start it easily, of course) Plays without chopping no matter how much applications I start, what do with Wifi, orientation and airplane modes. Even with "powersave" cpufreq governor (everything very slow, but music plays fine). So the hardware have enough resources to play it. **Update 2** Looks like doing for i in `pgrep ''`; do schedtool -D $i; done i.e. "Set Idle priority for all processes" makes music play fine even when I {start programs,lock screen,rotate screen;it reconnects to other mobile network stations} at expense of some input lag in games. Don't know exactly why it happens. |

18360 | Can the Galaxy S2 be rooted without increasing the custom flash counter using adb? | Normally, rooting guides for the S2 involve flashing a kernel to the device to install busybox and su. This xda post suggests a method for doing so via adb (found approximately in the middle of the first post): adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system adb push busybox /system/xbin/ adb push su /system/xbin/ adb shell chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox adb shell chown root.shell /system/xbin/su adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su adb shell /system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin adb shell mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system This also seems to be the method tools like SuperOneClick use. Now I recently found this blog post indicating the above method does not increment the hardware counter in the S2 that counts flashes of custom firmware. More than that, it can also be used to install ROMs via Mobile Odin, also without increasing the counter, because they come form the device itself and not from a computer via the USB cable. I fear to try out myself and lose my precious counter value of still 0. Has anyone tried out a method like this before and can confirm that it really does not affect the counter? |
14469 | Avoiding power drain | I just got a samsung Indulge this weekend and I’ve noticed that the biggest power drain on the battery is from the display. I’m blind, so I really don’t need to be able to see it at all. Is there a way for me to turn it off completely like I do on other devices? |

Do they consume my batery? Do they enter in some kind of supended mode, so they don't consume the CPU? If they do consume, is there any configuration to make them really close when I push the back button? |
30617 | Why is the com.android.browser process draining my battery? | I have a Samsung Galaxy Note with stock 4.0.4 ROM. The battery drains very fast and the phone is often warm. Reboot doesn't help. Settings says that com.android.browser (Internet) uses most of the battery. I never use default browser, I only use Chrome. I suspect that some background process it creating a heavy load and using the internet connection. I think browser is used by other applications, but I'm not able to figure out which application is related. I suspect maybe ad supported applications are the root of the problem. Is there any solution or app to figure out the origin of the problem? |

77846 | Accept call then play a pre-recorded voice message to caller | I receive quite a few non-work calls during my working day that often I am unable to take. I am not a big fan of voicemail, and I would much prefer if the caller would send me an SMS message or an email instead. I would therefore like to do the following on my Android phone: * disable my carrier's voicemail * record a voice message to a sound file * when my phone rings have an app automatically accept the call after X rings (or seconds), then; * play back the sound file to the caller, then; * hang up Is there a way to achieve this? Perhaps an app? |
30610 | No root permission after installation of ClockworkModRecovery kernel | My smartphone is the Samsung Galaxy Ace 5380 running Android 2.3.6 and I want to flush it with the CyanogenMod 7.2 I'm performing the steps from this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Ace:_Full_Update_Guide I have done the "Installing the **ClockworkMod** Recovery" steps and performed a backup of my current ROM. Now I want to run a backup with **Titanium** but it says that I have no root permissions. I thought the ClockworkMod Recovery kernel brings the root permission, because it sounds so by the guide mentioned above. _Is there any other thing I have to do now to activate the root permission or must I root my phone additionally with some other guide_? If so, I read that after the root-procedure I have to "wipe data factory reset" and that would delete the things I want to update, but for the update itself, I need root permissions. |
13856 | HTC Desire HD (Android v. 2.3 Gingerbread) - Internet Pass-through not working | I've got an HTC Desire HD and a Mac Pro running Windows 7. I've got the latest version of HTC Sync and when I connect the two together I can choose Internet Passthrough from the 'Connect to' menu on the phone. However data doesn't pass from PC to phone. I've tried disabling and reenabling the connection under Windows but this does nothing to help. I have RTFM and got the impression this was a straightforward thing with no configuration required. Am I missing something or have I got a dodgy phone? I should probably point out that regular 'mount-as-drive' works perfectly. |

200 | My Milestone doesn't always charge | I have a Milestone and sometimes when I plug my (supplied Motorola) charger in the 'charging light' on the side does not illuminate and the phone does not charge. I think that this may also happen even after a successful initial connection (i.e. after plugging it in and getting the light) since occasionally I have unplugged the phone in the morning, after an overnight charge, and it is only 30% full (rather than the expected 100%). This problem is intermittent and sometimes rights itself but other times I need to reboot the phone. I have replaced the cable, and still have the same issue, so it is unlikely to be due to a faulty cable. This happens both when charging it from a wall socket or a USB port. Does anybody else have this problem? Or maybe have an idea of what it could be? _edit:_ Faulty hardware may be the cause... I have seen similar posts about people having intermittent problems connecting their Milestones to USB ports, so I'm curious that this may be either a generic bug or a generic hardware fault, rather than just my phone. |

5607 | How can I force new contacts on Droid X to be Google Contacts (instead of Phone and Google contacts)? | On the Droid X (Motoblur interface), when you specify how new contacts are created: Contacts-> <menu Button> ->More->Settings->New Contacts you can specify what account the new contact is made under (in my phone there is Phone Contact, Google, and a corporate account) with a checkbox. This means that you could check off all boxes, and a newly created contact would be saved to all accounts (not sure why this is set up like this, but I'll deal with it). The problem that I am having is that **I want to create the new contact in Google contacts only, not the Phone Contacts**. Unfortunately, the option to uncheck the Phone Contacts account is not modifiable, so I can't uncheck it. I have no idea why this option is not enabled and with both options checked, I am getting contacts stored twice (once on the phone and once in the cloud). Is there any way to only select the Google contact option for new contacts? |

But now when I get home it doesn't switch to my operation (called **Mobistar** ) it keep showing the French one ( **Orange F** ). Yesterday, while I was home in Brussels, I went to the network op settings and manually selected Mobistar in the list... It kept showing Orange F.... Is this a bug ? the french operator isn't even available in Belgium so it's impossible to connect to... And the weirdest thing, when I'm in France data sync can't be done because I disabled roaming... What the hell? Any guess? |
5608 | Facebook doesn't fetch all messages | When I receive a new message on Facebook, I get the notification properly on the official Facebook app. I open the list of messages and the new message is highlited. The names are correct and the beginning of the message (below the name) is also from the new message. But when I click on it and open the discussion, new messages don't load (i.e., the discussion is consisted of only older messages). Is that maybe because the discussion is too long? What's causing this? |
204 | Is there a better sync application for Windows than HTCSync? | I'm running HTCSync 3.0.5422 on Windows 7 Ultimate but I find it just a bit unreliable. One one PC, sometimes the application doesn't see my HTC Desire (bought as an unlocked SIM free unit) and on another computer it just won't connect/sync at all. Is there an alternative? |
