32642 | Restart sound engine in Android (4.1) | I am Running AOKP on my HTC Desire S and it has a weird issue with sound - If I reboot the device with headphones plugged in, the sound (specifically the bass) is OK but if I remove the headphones and if any kind of sound is played through the Phone's speaker (a touch, a keystroke, a song, a notification anything) and then try to plug in the headphones again, the bass cracks. Of course, I have reported the issue to original developer who has ported the build, but for now if I could just restart the sound engine, I may be able to solve it temporarily. Is there any such service that runs or is there any way to do so? AOKP 4.1 milestone 1 **EDIT** : This is not an answer to my original question (so not putting as an answer) but this kind of solved my problem. Well when you lose bass, just plug the headphones in, call a number (I always call my customer care which is toll free and not human :P) wait for the ring, cut the call and Whoila! The bass is back! :D I know it sounds crazy, but it works! |
55240 | Tagging a file to multiple folders in Google Drive Android mobile app | With the web interface on Google Drive, a `Ctrl`+click can place a file or folder into several folders. But with the mobile app on Android, this feature seems to be missing. I tried a `Ctrl` move but to no avail. Even worse when the file has been in several folders before that structure is lost. Does anyone have any idea how to move a file into multiple folders using the Android app? |

68664 | Why do some games stopped suddenly? | I just bought my phone last week, it's Andromax I3s (local phone with Haier as the vendor) with this specs: Memory 4 GB, MicroSD Up To 32 GB; Ram 1 GB; OS Android 4.3 Jelly Bean; CPU Snapdrogin Quad-core 1,2GHz, ARM Cortex-A7; GPU Adreno 302. My problem is, some games have stopped suddenly when it's trying to load. All the games was similar games like Summon Masters, Brave Frontier, and Knight N Squires. When they're trying to load, the apps suddenly stopped and say "Unfortunately the apps has stopped". I don't know what's wrong, I installed other games like Subway Surfers and others with 3D animation and it work just fine. Is it performance issue? Considering the specs is good enough to play those games. Btw, I'm new to Andoid OS. Thank you before. |
68663 | How to send few specific contacts to my old basic phone? | I am having a Moto G and Nexus 7 (2012, WiFi only) devices which have my contacts synced with my Google account. My Moto G suffered a hardware issue because of which I am using a very basic phone for my calling needs. I have given the Moto G for service and it would take a week for them to fix. My basic replacement phone (Nokia 1800) does not have Bluetooth, no WiFi, No packet data support. Since my SIM and the new phones are devoid of any contacts,I could not see who is calling me and to make calls, I resorted to pen and paper method. **I am just wondering whether there could be any means of sending few of my contacts from my Google account to the SIM via SMS**. Another way I could try is to use someone else Android phone to access my google account and copy selected to my SIM. But I see that's too much of trouble to others as they might not be willing to lend. |
68662 | Find bluetooth version on Galaxy S3 running 4.3 | Every answer I've found to this question says that under Settings -> About Phone, I should see Bluetooth Version listed.

If I then click on Status (on the About Device page) I get my bluetooth address, but again, not the version. Help? |

54007 | Galaxy S3 high RAM consumption even on idle | I have a Galaxy S3 International Version, without any modification whatsoever-- no rooting, no nothing. It is as good as a stock phone with a few Play Store apps. However, of late, I have begun experiencing problems I do not have background processes (of my own) running and even then all I have left free in the RAM is usually only 300MB of the 800MB that is there. Task killers cannot free more than that. I experience lag when opening settings. What I mean is this: Say I click on the `Battery` option under Settings. There is a visible lag between the time I press the option and when the battery information is actually displayed on the screen. Android Version: 4.1.2 Build Number: JZO54K.I9300XXEMF6 |
54000 | Sharing/tethering 3G connection between Android devices | Is it possible to share 3G connection between two Android devices, a smartphone with 3G and a tablet with only wi-fi, for me to access the web with the tablet anywhere?

I already do it with my notebook, although I need the cable. Phone runs Android 2.1 and tablet runs 4.3, but I may try to install a modded ROM on the phone to update it to 2.3, if needed. |

58583 | How to keep screen OFF while charging (S3 and Note 2) | Don't know if all the Galaxy phones have this behaviour, but it sure is annoying. I like to keep my phone plugged in until I need it, as there is no harm done. The battery won't get "overcharged" or anything, and I'll have 100% juice with me when I leave. But both phones keep lighting up that they are done. And it lights up the phone every few seconds, it's really, really annoying. Is there a way to disable this behaviour? |

48494 | Getting pictures off of old deactivated phone | Can I hook up my old Galaxy S2 phone via USB to my laptop to find "lost" pictures in an unnamed file? I just activated my new Galaxy S4 and for some reason, all pics that were on my old phone are now gone from the new phone. Not sure why these would be deleted from the phone during a simple phone swap. Not all of my pics are on the sd card. Most of them were saved to the phone because it had much more space available. Customer service says it may take up to 24 hours for the transfer to be complete but the new phone already has all contacts & accounts transferred, plus I'm able to text & receive calls. I understand that during a transfer, pics are not usually included. But they should still be saved inside the old phone, right? The techs doing the swap shouldn't be able to do a factory reset or anything on the old phone, correct? |
20325 | What does debug.sf.hw in build.prop mean? | It is advised here and there to add `debug.sf.hw=1` to `build.prop`. They say that this "makes Android render GUI with GPU".

Do they have different architectures or requirements? * in the user experience? Is the default theme different? * in functionality? Do they have different default apps or capabilities? Perhaps someone knows the developer or why he or she released multiple? |
62177 | Forcing an Android tablet to connect to a wifi from PC | A while ago, I had a tablet (Coby Kyros MID9742), that got shelved when the screen quit (half of the area of the touchscreen won't recognize touches, split among 2 sections). I am trying to repurpose the tablet for use as a video player via HDMI cable to projector, with my old phone (Galaxy S, no problems) as a remote. I have that part worked out, using a 3rd party app. But the main problem is getting the tablet to connect to WiFi to use the remote software. The screen is broken in such a way that the center strip (top to bottom in portrait mode) cannot recognize touches, and I cannot put in the WiFi password that I need to. The tablet does not know the password for the WiFi. **Is there some way that I can force the tablet to connect to an encrypted WiFi using my PC, via USB cable?** The tablet is rooted, but I have not flashed a custom rom onto it. **Also, is there some way that I can force WiFi to turn on at startup, and automatically connect to specified network?** If there is any more information I need to add, please say so in the comments. |
48499 | Installing a fresh copy of Android on my rooted Galaxy Tab 10.1 2 | I've got a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, which has been rooted, though it's still stock firmware. It has a whole bunch of problems right now with certain apps, e.g. it currently can't play any music (player crashes) and various other apps are pretty flaky. Anyway, I'd like to restore it back to stock, on the latest firmware. I'll probably root it again at a later date, but for now I'm not too fussed. I've tried using the in-built update functionality (i.e. the "a new update is available" feature) but it reboots into CWM recovery and says that the signature verification failed. How can I go about resetting the device, clearing out the junk, and updating it to the latest firmware? I'm not particularly fussed about any of the apps or settings that are on there. |

59183 | Remove folder from App Drawer in TouchWiz (not home screen / app launcher) | TouchWiz (TouchWiz Nature UX on Samsung Galaxy S III mini) allows **creating folders** and reorganizing application in application list / **app drawer** (in "Apps") when using 'Customisable grid' view type: "Menu > View type > Customisable grid", then "Menu > Create folder"  This allows creating folders to group applications. You can edit name of folder by touching it and then touching on name, you can put such folder on home screen / launcher via long press, and you can put applications in folder via "Menu > Edit" and selecting folder (edit works only on folders); then in this edit mode you can add apps with "+", and remove them by moving them outside folder.  I cannot find however how to **_remove_** such folder from TouchWiz app drawer. (The articles and answers I have found by googling are about folders on home screens, i.e. in apps launcher not apps drawer). |
59188 | Infinite Reboot Loop | I have a HTC EVO 4G (aka Supersonic) running Android 2.3.5 (aka Gingerbread) and last night I turned it off because it was running low on power. I connected it to the charger before going to bed and called it a night, my normal process (except for shutting it down). This morning I turn it on and it starts up with the device screen (HTC EVOTM 4G) and then a few seconds later it shows the Sprint 4G animation, and usually after that it loads the OS and you slide down continue but now it just reboots again and again in an infinite loop. I can only stop it by pulling the battery. Anyone experience this? Know what's causing it? Have a solution to it? I need the phone and its critical that I resolve this as soon as possible. Thanks everyone. **Update - 12/18/13** I went ahead and cleared the cache and the dalvik cache and still couldn't get it to boot into the OS, it would load the slide screen and then freeze up for a second and go back into the loop. From then on, it wouldn't even get to that screen, just would reboot after the startup animation. I was not even running a custom ROM, just the stock ROM rooted but went ahead and flashed a stock ROM back on it and got it up and running but still bugs me that I had to lose all my customization and start over without knowing what the heck went wrong. Anyone have any ideas? |

51788 | Use AND logic on variables in Tasker | I have Tasker speak texts to me if the phone is not in silent mode. (The task looks something like `Say 'text from %SMSRN who said %SMSRB' if %SILENT ~ off`, and it's run by a profile activated when a text is received.) This works well except when I'm on a phone call and the text is read out while I'm in conversation! Doesn't happen much but it's annoying. So what I want to do is have it read out texts when I'm not in silent mode AND when I'm not on a call. I can set up a variable `%INCALL` to equal 1 when the phone is off the hook (and clear the variable when the phone is idle). Therefore, I want texts read `(if %SILENT ~ off AND %INCALL != 1)`. I can't see any way to do an `AND` in Tasker logic. Is there an elegant way to handle this? |
27056 | Direct dial/message shortcuts ambiguously displayed on Galaxy S3 | The direct dial/message shortcut icons on the Samsung Galaxy S3 are ambiguous - eg: it is hard to tell which is text and which is a dial if you have the same person (one for each). Additionally, on this model, the shortcut is overlayed with "mobile" or "home" or whatever that persons phone you've selected. Is there any way to easily change this? I'm using GO Launcher, which I can change the icons directly but then I'd have to go and find the person's image, overlay it with a text/phone icon, etc., which seems like a lot of work. The stock ROM on my Motorola Atrix used to have a pretty sweet widget that looked something like this: ----------------------------------- | | | Contact IMG | Phone IMG | Text IMG | | | | ------------------------------------ Where the phone and text buttons of the image would direct dial\text the contact. Maybe there is something like this out there that I've missed? This is what it looks like ("phone" and "text" were originally the contacts name):  |

59233 | Gallery preview folder takes about 1GB, how to delete it? | I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus (GT-I9105P) with Android 4.2.2 and I've got many photos. The folder with the Gallery previews (the one that stores thumbnail to load images faster) takes about 1GB of storage (815,9MB, precisely) and if I delete it, when I open the Gallery app it recreates.  Here you can see it (click image to enlarge) "Anteprime galleria" in Italian means "Gallery previews". The folder itself is called "DCIM" and it's in the phone's memory (All my photos are in teh SD card) and it contains an hidden `.thumbnails` folder.  So, how can I delete it and make sure it won't recreate? |

The app was not pre-installed on the phone, it was added by my own will, if that is any relevant information.

8304 | My HTC Desire Z read messages showing up unread | I am starting to have some prolems with my Desire Z and was wondering if anyone knew how to help me. It is starting to show that I have an unread text message, but when I click on that contact, there isn't. So I tried to delete the message thread and then it just keeps loading and loading (all night even!) so i was forced to restart my phone in order to send any other texts. Also when I exit out of the message thread, "Sorry! The application Messages (process.com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please Try again." With a "Force Close" button, comes up.. It's only doing this with one contact, any other messages I recieve don't stay "unread". And whenever I recieve more messages from that contact, the number of unread messages goes up! |

56400 | Is there any app/addon/plugin that lets me send any sequence of digits to the dialer straight from the browser? | I have a Android device (Samsung Tab 2) that is used to surf our intranet, and then dial numbers related to persons, for switchboard purposes. However, most of these numbers are internal and only 4-5 digits long. No native phone number detection recognizes them. So, how do we go around this? We want to avoid rewriting the intranet if possible (yes, I'm aware of the `<a href="tel:">` tag). We want to solve this clientside. Which browser or other app that would be necessary is not really important, but we want the numbers themselves to be clickable, no mucking about with clipboard or such. The point is that the dialing should be intuitive, regardless of number length. |

59211 | Partition problem in AOSP build | I am compiling the AOSP rom for Nexus 7 flo. After the build is completed, I always end up at this screen "type password to decrypt storage". The factory images work correctly, and the device works. Also there has never been any password. I could understand that the problem seemed to be with userdata partition, so I flashed everything from the factory images, and then flashed only my own compiled userdata.img. And it works, so I am left clueless as to where the problem could be? Any ideas? Edit1: So after some searching/asking around, it seems this problem can occur if partitions overwrite each other (any of the img files is too big, particularly boot.img). But how can I verify this? Any thoughts on this? |

25744 | Is there a way to control which audio is sent to Bluetooth and which is sent to system speaker? | **Background info explaning why I want what I want** I'm almost totally deaf. I have a Bluetooth-enabled hearing aid that is paired with my Droid RAZR (ICS 4.0.4). When any audio is played on the phone (ringer, phone call, media, etc) it triggers my hearing aid. The switch-over is not instant and I miss a few seconds of audio (plus I get a really loud, annoying beep from my hearing aid informing me that it is making the switch from external audio to BT audio). As a result, text messages and other short audio notifications (like navigation speech) trigger my hearing aid, the loud beep occurs, the external mic is turned off, the BT connection is enforced, and then... nothing. In the time it takes for all that to occur, I've missed whatever the audio input was. **TL;DR** I'd like to be able to tell my phone to direct text messaging, ringer, and other audio playback (navigation) to the system speaker and to continue to direct in-call and media playback to my paired, BT-enabled hearing aid. Is there a way to do this? |
25743 | How can I determine what is a normal USB transfer speed for my Android phone? | I've been struggling to get decent USB transfer speeds with my Ubuntu computer, which I've asked about on the Ask Ubuntu site. The answers there have helped me improve USB speeds overall, but it seems my phone is still much slower than other devices. For example, I can transfer to my Sony video camera at about 17.5MB/s, but transferring files to my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy 2 with ICS) is running at about 2MB/s. How can I determine if 2MB/s is a normal transfer speed for my Android phone? In other words, what do I need to know about it's SD card (it has two, internal and external) specifications or other details in order to determine if I am getting the maximum performance or if it is still hobbled? |

24838 | Mails not marked as read when IMAP Seen flag is set | I have set up the default HTC email app to use IMAP. If i read a new mail on the phone, the read state is updated on my computer (thunderbird). Also, if I mark it as unread on the phone, then it becomes unread on my computer too. This is as expected. But if I read email on my computer, it still shows as unread on my phone, similarly if I mark as unread on the computer the change is not visible on the phone. By viewing webmail and browsing my mail with netcat I know that the Seen flag on the server is always in sync with thunderbird, hence the problem must be on the phone's side. Summary: IMAP flags changed on the phone is pushed to he server, but flags changed on the server is not updated on the phone. |

21846 | Atrix will boot up but unlock screen is unresponsive | I'm having my first major issue with my phone, the Atrix (not Atrix 2). The phone is stock Gingerbread, not rooted, and I don't download any dubious or non-Market apps. While using my phone today it suddenly rebooted. Upon reaching the unlock screen, neither the screen nor the buttons would respond to any kind of input, nor have they since. I can't even turn on the screen by pressing the power button; I have to plug it in to the charger. The only way to try to restart is to pull the battery. It seems to me that the problem is with the unlock screen, which I think belongs to the launcher app. The menu bar at the top of the screen seems to indicate that other systems are functioning properly -- the clock in the corner stays up to date, while the lock screen's clock doesn't change after booting. The icons at the top indicate that bluetooth and wifi are active and the strength of the wifi signal varies when I move around. Let's see, what else -- I wasn't doing anything unusual with the phone when it rebooted. It has suddenly rebooted a couple times in the past couple days before this, but had no noticeable problems once it started back up. Can anybody suggest what I should try next? I'd like to avoid having to wipe it clean if possible. I have managed to get into the boot options by holding the volume key and pressing the power button, and try to boot into recovery mode from there, but that just hung. I have the android sdk with adb installed on my linux laptop, so i can try connecting the debugger in the morning, but i'm not sure what to try when I do. Sorry if this is an incoherent jumble -- I'm tired and I'm going to bed. UPDATE: I connected the phone to my computer and looked at the logs in LogCat (I've done a little bit of Android development). I'm not seeing any obvious signs of what the problem is. Admittedly, I have no idea what to look for. The closest I can get is this INFO message when I try to unclock the screen when it's active: 04-15 16:34:39.719: INFO/InputDispatcher(1652): Application is not responding: Window{40a2fb20 Keyguard paused=false}. 11148.9ms since event, 5009.5ms since wait started and this is all that happens when I press the power but to try to turn the screen on: 04-15 16:38:00.369: DEBUG/KeyguardViewMediator(1652): wakeWhenReadyLocked(26) There are no error stack traces being logged for either event. Ideas??? UPDATE 2: It appears to be the Home app. See details in the comment below. Can I use ADB or another tool to remove and reinstall the Home app? I know that with my own apps, I can just use `adb install` and `adb uninstall`, but I don't know if it's that simple with other apps, or where I would get a clean copy of it from. FINAL UPDATE: I tried everything there was to try, including writing an app to programmatically wake up and attempt to unlock the screen, which worked on my tablet but not the phone, so I could try to salvage some data. I finally had to just do a hard reset on the phone, and that worked, so for now the phone is working again. |
21840 | Looking for NAT Solution for Android 2.2 (Other Than IPTABLES) | I currently find myself in a situation where I need to find a NAT solution for a rooted Android 2.2 device other than IPTABLES, since I am stuck on using a particular ROM that doesn't support IPTABLES. I need said Android device to act as a NAT gateway between an external host connected through its Ethernet port, and the Android device's internal WiFi connection (not its cellular connection). I have tried searching for a simple NAT daemon available for any operating system, just for kicks. It turns out that such a solution is nothing more than a pipe dream, considering they would require unportable kernel modules. I have noticed some Android software out there, such as EasyTether, that claim they support NAT. And, this is apparently even without requiring a rooted system. So, it must be possible to implement based off some solution. I even recall one such software stating that it had used a Java NAT solution. I could not find anything like this made in Java. Running Java apps on Android IS a possibility. So, does anyone have any input as to how a NAT solution might be implemented? TIA. |
24833 | Can the Samsung search key be remapped without rooting? | I'd like to be able to change my search quick-key from Google, probably to DuckDuckGo, as it has some great shortcuts, and has a short, readable privacy policy.

I am running a Samsung Galaxy Europa with Android 2.2, though I'd expect the answer will apply to any Android device. I should think I'll be rooting my device anyway, but it would be good to give non-rooted phone owners a choice of search facility, if it is possible! |

3677 | Disable ActiveSync Remote Wipe in Froyo | In short: **Is there a way to disable remote wipe for Android Phones (specifically in Froyo)?** Background: I recently upgraded my G1 to a G2, and was about to set up my company e-mail account. But the problem is, it notified me I'd have to allow the company to set my security settings. Looking into it, Froyo (Android 2.2) added support for things like remote wipe and user access controls from the admin. I understand this is a great move, but we've had problems in the past with our IT team accidentally sending these messages to the wrong phones, and the last thing I want is an accidental bricking while I'm at a conference. Is there a way to connect to ActiveSync so I can still get push notifications of work email, but not allow remote wipe messages to wipe my phone? I'm fine with them setting security policy like requiring a PIN or something, but I don't want a remote wipe unless it's sent by me from a security app that I installed at will. |

I am also unable to downgrade from 4.4 kitkat (which the phone came with) to 4.2.2 in order to root. The downgrade fails due to "security downgrade" or something similar. Any advice? I do not with to void the warranty by unlocking the bootloader. Is it possible to flash a pre-rooted kitkat system image using RSD Lite? I was able to use it to re-flash 4.4 after a failed attempt to flash 4.2.2 This is somewhat urgent as it is a surprise gift for someone who likes having rooted phones. Note: I only mention downgrading from kitkat because there seems to be no way to root a phone which came with kitkat on it. If there is another option, I would love to hear about it! UPDATE: It is possible that the phone came with 4.4.2 and the updated bootloader. I did not check before I attempted rooting and flashed 4.4 using RSD Lite. |

Usually, I would just hide this notification by going to the app's "App Info" screen and unchecking the "Show notifications" box. _However, I **want** to get message notifications._ Just not the constant "Available" notification. Here's a screenshot of the notification I'm talking about. After some Googling, I've found people who suggest disabling the "Skype Status" notification in the app settings. However, that doesn't seem to be an option on my device. I use Android 4.4 on a Nexus 5. How can I remove/disable the Skype login/status persistent notification, without disabling other Skype notifications? |
