36725 | Sync problems with Samsung Galaxy I9000 | I'm having the following issues: 1. 'Market' not functioning ('A network error has occurred. Retry, or cancel...') 2. Gmail not functioning ('No connection') 3. Red triangle in top-left of screen = 'Sign-in-error (email address)' I think these issues are related to the problems I am having with sync-ing Contacts / Calender / Memo with the PC. The process stalls at 25% completion. The phone also seems to be slower to respond lately. Any ideas? |
36724 | How do I use an external USB keyboard? | My tablet's running Android 4.0.3, and I'm trying to use an external keyboard with it. My tablet isn't detecting the keyboard, but it works when I plug it into my computer. This keyboard uses a normal USB output to connect, but my tablet uses MicroUSB, so I bought an adapter. How do I get this keyboard to work? |
36729 | Does rooting your phone always involve installing/using tools? | I want to know if tools are the only mean to root an android phone ? can it be done using only a root terminal ? edit: by tools i mean apps to install like https://www.google.be/search?sclient=psy- ab&hl=en&tbo=d&site=&source=hp&q=root+android |
3550 | Bluetooth GPS compatibility list for Android 2.2 / Archos 43 tablet? | I've been looking at a very inexpensive bluetooth GPS (DeLorme Earthmate BT-20) to pair with my Archos 43 Internet Tablet running Android 2.2. Is anyone aware of a compatibility list that I should be referencing when considering pairing my device with a bluetooth GPS? I assume that the Android app will be used to reference maps, and the GPS will simply provide coordinates, but I may be mistaken. |

28062 | Why is the transformer Jelly Bean update being staggered geographically? | The Transformer TF300's jelly bean update is now available OTA in North America but not in Australia for up to two weeks. What would be the reason that they would not make it available all at once? Is there some technical reason it can't be done? Like if I was in the US but I bought the tablet in Australia, would it let me update? So is there any way for me to bypass this restriction and somehow hook into the North American update site (via a proxy or something) in order to get it now? |
53926 | One S reboots with new CM 3.4 Kernel | This is something that's been bugging me ever since the 3.4 kernel was released: **Problem:** I am getting intermittent reboots when using any ROM which is based on the 3.4 kernel. It happens totally at random, but only when I'm actually using the phone - never when it's locked, or in my pocket. Here are my `last_kmsg` logs, but this is where it gets really weird - it reboots twice. Every time. Once I get the initial reboot, it reboots to the HTC screen, then immediately reboots again. So I'm not sure the last_kmsg will even be that accurate. **Things I've Tried** * Returning to stock RUU/upgrading/reflashing * Not restoring apps * Switching off Wifi * Undervolting/Overvolting * Different CPU Governors/Clock Speeds * Many different ROMS * CM10.2 Kernel & also Bubba Kernel Would love to hear anything else I could potentially try, or other users with similar issues. |
53927 | Why is all sound suddenly gone with HTC One S? | All of a sudden I have no sound with my HTC One S (running Android 4.1.1). No sound is heard when someone tries to call me, and, curiously, the microphone is also muted; the one who's calling me doesn't hear anything either. I also cannot play audio (it says something like _Cannot play this type audio file_ ). What on earth is going on? And how to solve it? PS: I have not spilled coffee or something over my phone; no unusual things happend to my phone, as far as I know. |
53924 | How do I connect to an IRC server behind NAT using Android phone? | I use a private IRC server that is behind a NAT. Currently, I SSH into a server with a public address and use a command line IRC client in a tmux session to connect to the private server. Is there a way using only android apps to connect to the protected server using an IRC client on the Android phone through an SSH tunnel? I am not rooted but I am also not against rooting. |
58918 | Configure ActiveSync to display Active Directory contact photo | I am working on a team that is looking into importing contact photos into our Active Directory. So far our test photos are showing up as expected in Outlook but they are not showing when you search for directory contacts in the People app. Name, phone number, and email addressing are being brought over correctly so I know the ActiveSync connection is working, just not the photos. We have imported the images into the thumbnailPhoto and the jpegPhoto LDAP attributes. Is there an ActiveSync setting we need to look at or an LDAP attribute we should be using instead? |
58910 | Battery Trickle Charging, good or bad? | What are the side effects of using apps that trickle charge battery. App like "Battery Doctor". It charges around 30-50 (varies with device) mins after battery is fully charged, which results in a bit longer battery backup as I found out. But is that harmful for battery health? Like damaging the battery? Or should I charge normally up to the device says "Fully Charged"? |
58911 | Any way to reduce the frequency of searching for a signal | My fiancee just got my old SGS2 when I got my new N5. The problem that she's having is that there is no cell reception at her work. And because of this, her phone is constantly searching for a signal all day long, and by the time she leaves work and gets into an area of reception the phone is dead. I've told her to just turn it off or put it in airplane mode, but she usually forgets. I know I could set something up with tasker, but that sounds like a pain, and I don't really want to pay for on app she'd hardly use. phone is SGH T989. I believe she's on 4.2.something. Really what I'd like to be able to do is just have the phone not try so hard to find a signal when there isn't one available. I looked and didn't really see a system setting for this. Is there maybe an app that someone can recommend that would work? |
58916 | Has google actually synched my contacts? | So when I first set up my phone I selected the option to synch my contacts/app data/etc to google. Now I've tried rooting my phone but I've run into some issues with it. I want to do a clear data/factory reset but I don't want to lose all my contacts. I've looked in my phone settings and it says that google last synched my contacts 1 day ago. The thing is, I can't see any of my phone contacts in my gmail. I've looked under 'Other Contacts' and even 'Starred Android' but there is nothing there. Has google actually synched my contacts? Do the contacts show up in gmail or are they saved somewhere else? I want to make absolutely sure that my contacts are stored somewhere safe before doing a factory reset. |
58917 | Widgets of installed apps do not appear in list | I just bought my father a chinese phone, seems to be working great except after I install an app, it does not appear in the widgets list. I have tried several apps (Wifi Manager, Gsam Battery monitor) on several launchers (Default, Zeam, GO Launcher EX). I even set English instead of Hungarian, nothing helped. The default widgets (Bookmarks, Calendar, Gmail, etc) are in the list. Is there some setting I am missing? |
64590 | Need an advanced Android torrent client | I'm looking for an advanced torrent client for Android with the following features: * remote access via browser (I want to control my android box from my PC browser) * torrent time scheduler (I want to specify in which hours the torrent must be downloaded) I've searched a lot, but all the torrent clients for Android are identical and offer the same basic features. Anyone can suggest me a torrent client with these features or a workaround to obtain them with any torrent client? |

Looking on the CMG site, I see that there are 4 different versions: **GSM** , **CDMA** , **P1000L** , and **P1000N**. What are the differences between these?

33774 | Wildcards in proxy bypass list | My LG LS840 Viper 4G LTE (Sprint) recently upgraded to 4.0/ICS. Under 2.3/GB the proxy settings had been disabled entirely, but I am now able to set up per-network proxy settings for the various WiFi networks I attach to. Except— Is there a way to add wildcards to the proxy bypass list? On (say) “Work WiFi” I can add `example.com` to the proxy bypass list, but not `*.example.com`. If any of the entries in the list have an asterisk, the Save button is disabled. Is this a limitation in Android, or one which Sprint & LG have imposed on me? Is there a work-around? ETA: A coworker running into a similar issue wit Cyanogenmod suggested `.example.com` (leading dot, no asterisk); this work-around works for him, but my phone rejects this form as well. |
33777 | Forgot security lock pattern on Jelly Bean device with Wifi and 3G data turned off | I forgot my security lock pattern and my Wifi and 3G connections are switched off. I can hard reset the phone (Galaxy Nexus) from recovery mode, but that would wipe all my data. ADB is also turned off so I cannot recover my data unless there is a way to turn on ADB while the phone is locked. I understand that ClockWorkMod recovery turns ADB on automatically when it is installed. * Do I need to root the phone to install ClockWorkMod? * If yes, can I root the phone while it is locked? * Is there any other way to recover the data from the phone before I reset it? |
37098 | What are the pros and cons of selling rooted androids for resale "as-is" to the general public? | For my question, let me give some background. My business is to data clear phones and tablets. I've been tasked with research into rooted devices. I have a very basic grasp of this concept. I think what I've found is that rooted devices can be 'unrooted' but only if one knows what rooted it originally. I've found this: You’ll have to use either a terminal emulator or ADB. Here are the commands to uninstall it: mount -o remount,rw /system rm /system/app/Superuser.apk Would that be a good way to remove the root from all cells across the board? Specifically what I need to know is what do rooted devices mean to the cell phone data clear industry? Is there user data in a rooted device after data clearing it manually? |

15146 | Can a phone without a gyroscope measure angles sufficiently? | It seems that a gyroscope sensor is currently not so common amongst Android devices. But does an accelerometer (in conjunction with the compass?) provide enough accuracy to measure angles (tilt, yaw) with high precision? |
39527 | Can receive but cannot send SMS on SGS3, help me debug with logcat? | For a couple months now (during which time I've tried ~20 ROMs), I can receive & make calls fine, receive & send emails fine, sync fine, everything is fine except I cannot send SMS. I've tried HandCent but it didn't work either. I have 15 seconds of logcat I can't understand at all - can someone help? And is this the best way to isolate the problem or should I be trying something else? (click image to enlarge)  _Edited to add confusing APN logcat messages._  Why does it want to get Neighboring Cell IDS? There are hundreds or thousands of messages where it tries but gets denied. Is this like a worm attempt being blocked?     With those APN=null messages, does that confirm your concerns about it being an APN issue after all? |
39524 | I.Robot 7180 ICS OS4.0 tablet stucked loading in the black screen with android logo showing.

How to make this work again? |
39525 | Why can't music players find my audio files? | On my Nexus 4, there's a folder called `/sdcard/Music/` (or just `/Music` when browsing the phone's storage; Windows 7 calls it `Computer\Nexus 4\Internal storage\Music`) and I've put a lot of songs in there but **the music player doesn't see any of my songs.** Why can one app (the file manager, and e.g. Dropbox) see the files, but not another app (Play Music, Apollo, Jukefox)? **Notes:** * LG Nexus 4 16GB, unlocked, with CyanogenMod 10.1 (nightly build 20130212 because nothing _more stable_ is available but there are no crashes.) * The songs are stored in the path format `/sdcard/Music/Artist/Album/Song title.mp3` (simply because that's how they're stored on my media drive). * `Computer\Nexus 4\Internal storage\Music\Eagles\On the Border\1 Already Gone.mp3` * `Computer\Nexus 4\Internal storage\Music\Kashmir\The Good Life\10 Kiss me goodbye.mp3` * `Computer\Nexus 4\Internal storage\Music\Christina St眉rmer\Freier Fall\1 Geh nicht wenn du kommst.mp3` (yes there's a Chinese character in there and I don't know why; it's a German ü _(umlaut u)_ on my original Windows media drive) * I know that the songs are present and that they work because the CyanogenMod File Manager shows them and I can play them individually. _They do exist!_ * Running Rescan SD as suggested below didn't make the files appear in any of the player apps. * I'm fairly certain there are no `.nomedia` files: The CyanogenMod File Manager doesn't display files that begin with a `.` (I renamed an existing TXT file and it promptly disappeared :)) but I used the Root Browser Lite to look through `/Music` and subfolders -- the only match I found was the one I had renamed, and I have deleted that now. * My Windows pc at work couldn't see the files either, but after unplugging/replugging the USB it now can see+open+play the files. (I've now revised this question to remove the Windows part.) * I'm still mystified by the fact that file-browser apps see the files but music-player apps don't. |
78147 | Home, Search, back buttons in LG Optimus black not working | In my 2 year old LG Optimus black the home, back and search buttons have stopped working. I am on 2.3.4 version of android. I have now installed an app called 'Button Savior' and managing to use the phone.I have rooted the phone recently to install the above mentioned app What I would like to know is if the problem I am having is a H/W problem or something to do with the OS or a patch that can be fixed. If so, how ? |
78144 | Is there an Android video chat client that displays video stream and text messages at the same time? | I'm looking for a video chat app for Android, but I'm unable to find one that can display the video stream and text messages at the same time, it's either one or the other. I tried for example Google Hangouts and Skype and both have this problem. Screen estate should not be problem since it would be used on a tabled with external keyboard Is there another app in the market that allows this? If possible I would like also to be able to call Windows clients. |
78143 | Can't have G,E,3G,H+ in the network bar (thus no internet connection unless on wifi) | I have a new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo, I have a question. Since I bought it 2 days ago, the internet connection is fine (with or without wifi) and it shows either G/E/3G/H+ symbol. But, I once get into a basement (which I got no signal), and then, when I came out (this morning), the internet network coverage shows no symbol. What I did wrong? I might accidentally pressed something unconsciously since I am new to this device (and android smartphone generally). The signal bar (aside G,E,3G,H+ symbol) shows full bar, though. Thanks. (I haven't call my service provider, since it might be device problem) Additional notes : * On : Wifi, Vibrate, Screen Rotation, Mobile Data, Multi Window, Smart Stay, Sync * Off : GPS, BT, Blocking Mode, Power Saving, Screen Monitoring, Wifi Hotspot, S Beam, NFC, Air View, Hands-free mode, Smart pause, Smart scroll, Airplane mode * Android version : 4.3 |
68217 | How to force the mobile data (3G/4G) connection on a single app like Google voice recognition? | When an android phone is connected by both wifi and mobile data (3G/4G), it will preferentially use wifi since this saves battery and mobile data bandwidth. However, my mobile connection is more reliable than my wifi, and there are some apps that use only a small amount of data but which I want to operate reliably. Google voice recognition is the primary example. My understanding is that each app has it's own preferred connection type (almost always set to wifi) at the level of the operating system, but that this setting is not not available to the user. How can I change an app's preference to mobile data? If necessary, I am open to solutions that only work for Google voice recognition (e.g. a buried user option). |
34018 | Bluetooth car audio with track data | I have a Droid 3 and a 2012 Toyota Camry which offers bluetooth support. Currently I find the only app that will display track information on the screen of the Camry's stereo is the default Android music player. Winamp and others don't seem able to do this. Is this a limitation of Android? Or are there other apps that I do not know about that have the ability to transfer track information to the car stereo? |
34013 | Google Now screen is blank (Nexus 7, Android 4.2) | I've got a Nexus 7 upgraded to Android 4.2. When I swipe up from the home button to launch Google Now I just get a blank screen with a search bar at the top. I don't see the "Get Google Now" screen shown here or any options to add new cards.  How can I go about getting the Google Now setup screen? |
34017 | Console text editor | Is there any vi/vim/pico/nano console build for android or any other editor which I can use in remote interactive `adb` shell. I don't need GUI at all. I've seen Vi IMproved Touch and it's a nice example of editor which doesn't seems to have a console version which I need so much. |
39290 | How do I re-enable the stock Gallery on Samsung S2 running ICS? | I accidentally pressed the disable button on the stock gallery instead of the `Force stop` button. In `Settings > Apps`, the aplication moved to the end of the list of apps and says it's `Disabled`. The only non-greyed out button is `Uninstall Updates`. I have tried this several times, but it does not rectify the issue. I believe the phone was autoupgraded from Gingerbread to ICS a long time ago if that is relevant. I have Quickpic installed, but there are no defaults selected. |
39296 | Samsung Galaxy S3 will not reboot | I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. For the last couple of days, it has been freezing quite regularly. I had to hold the power button and reboot, sometimes more than once. The last time I tried this, the device would not reboot. It turns on, shows the S3 logo, vibrates, and keeps the LED constantly blue. However, it does not get any further than the Samsung logo. It just keeps the blue notification light on and the Samsung logo slowly flashes blue. Can someone help with this? |
54286 | Wifi passwords were not restored on a new device | I got a new galaxy nexus phone running 4.2.2 and I noticed my WiFi passwords were not restored to this device. I skipped the account login upon first start, but added it later on. Am I missing something? I'm pretty sure my passwords were automatically synced when I got a nexus 7 tablet last year. Many thanks for helping with this. |
54287 | T-Coil mode in Android | As I am a user of wearing a hearing aid ( _profoundly deaf since birth_ ) and was talking to someone in the support group for the deaf, and T-Coil mode functionality was mentioned in regards to talking on the phone. This made me wonder if that is an add-on software support or actually built- into telephony. It is built-in to my hearing aid. I have seen a similar question about it here but looks like its available on certain phones. Admittedly have not tried it, but would love to know if there is a setting for it. |
68506 | Can I get rid of an unwanted acronym? | Apparently "ESCO" is an acronym for something, however "esco" is a quite common Italian word. For some reason the native keyboard seems to prefer the acronym to the word, usually having it as default, and sometimes not even giving the word as an alternative. Can I either remove the acronym, or at least force the word to have more priority? (system is CM 10.2.1, Android 4.3.1) |
68500 | New hangout indicator meanings | I have started using hangouts now that it has merged in with all my sms messages and it's cool. However i was wondering if someone could explain the indicators that show up at the bottom left of the screen to me? I currently know: * TinyPortrait(transparent) = current point user has read to * Dots (...) = user is typing Unknown * TinyPortriat(Solid) = i thought this might mean they are up to date, but considered it could be that they are watching the screen? * Small Phone Icon = No idea what this means. Are there any others? |
47261 | Sending email to multiple recipients | I need to use my Note 10.1 to send an email to multiple recipients in the cc or bcc field. But it seems I cannot copy and paste the contacts which are automatically put into the 'to' field. Gmail in android also seems to allow only 250 contacts to be emailed at the same time. Is there a way to copy and paste the contacts from the 'to' field into the 'cc' field? And send more than 250 emails at the same time? Thanks. |
47264 | /sd-ext gets suddenly remounted read only during work | I have an HTC Desire with cyanogenmod 7.2 (with pdroid patch) and with an partitioned microSD card (first: FAT, second: ext3). The second partition gets automatically mounted read/writeable as `/sd-ext` as it should be. I'm using S2E to store my apps and the app data on this ext3 partition. The `mount` command shows me that the ext3 partition is not only mounted to `/sd-ext` but also to `/data/app` and `/data/data`. All of them are mounted read/writeable. My first question: Is it normal and secure that multiple directories are bound to the same partition? Are there no conflicts? In the beginning everything worked fine. I could install and use my apps without problems. But after a while more and more apps begun to crash and I always had to restart my phone to get rid of those crashes again. I discovered that the crashes where caused by a read only data partition. In fact all the directories `/sd-ext`, `/data/data`, and `/data/apps` where suddenly mounted read only. My second question: Why does Android sometimes remount my ext3 partition in read only mode while I work with my phone? |
68508 | Is there a way to turn off the ringer notification when switching between profiles using Llama? | Basically, I have Llama set up to set my phone to vibrate when I get to work and set my phone to ringtone when I get home. But whenever a profile change occurs, a ringer notification occurs along with it. So for example, when I get home, the profile changes to ringtone mode and along with that, the phone makes a sound. Similarly, when I get to work, the profile changes to vibrate mode and the phone vibrates. Is there a way to turn this off? I'm using a galaxy s3 if that matters. |
47267 | Not able to know to which SIM sms was received | **Short Description:** I am using JellyBean in a dual SIM featured phone. I am using Go SMS software also standard Messaging also I used. I find it peculiar to know that there is no such feature to know to which SIM an SMS was received. **Detailed Issue:** I am using XOLO A1000 Dual SIM phone which is running in JellyBean. I am using two SIM cards one is by Aircel and another is by Airtel who are two different service providers in India. In my inbox (threads of SMS) either using Messaging app or by Go SMS app all SMS are stored by senders. Now my problem is when I receive a new spam SMS I am not able to know to which SIM that SMS was sent to. To my SIM1 or to my SIM2. Both the apps doesn't show any marking to distinguish that. I even checking 'Message Details' it doesn't contain destination number detail. This is important if I need to file complaint against spamming. Any help will be much appreciated. This is basic required feature but I wonder why I am not able to help myself, I even Googled it and found nothing. |

79234 | Virtual SMB directory on sdcard | I have a Moto G with only 16 gigs of storage. It doesn't accept external sd cards. Therefore, I store some data on my phone and some on my networked drive, at home. This can be annoying because a lot of apps on Android allow you to view only local files (sdcard/). I can however, browse shared network directories (smb://) using other apps like ES File Explorer. Is there an app that would create a virtual directory on your sd card that would enable you to view network resources with apps that don't natively support this? I am rooted. Thanks. |

Then I looked around and found out about the write protect issue on the bootloader from at&t and verizon. (chattr +i /boot/system.tar.md5) It's not difficult to figure out what they did. Yes I installed a recovery, even dd if=/usr/recovery.img of=/dev/mmc??0p21 (i forget the dev layout, but it was the recommended). Because of the block, nothing worked. Needless to say I am softbricked right now with all the user data deleted. I did back up in kies but it is asking me for a number I never saw. Is there a patch for fixing the at&t immutable bit on the bootloader if phonetop is borked?

75668 | Android phone memory used by unknown pictures and videos | I am using a Samsung Galaxy grand which ha 8 GB of phone memory. It has become slow over the months, so finally I realized that it is time to organize all the media files into the sd card so that the phone memory is freed facilitating a more agile smartphone. However, even after moving all the known pictures in my mobile to the sd card, the storage page in settings shows that there is still 672MB of phone memory being used by pictures and videos. How do I free this space? |

42346 | Why are animations from an Animated PDF not showing? | I am going to prepare PDF presentation, with some basic animations, using LaTeX. A classic example can be found here. I am able to view animations only when I view the PDF from my PC. No animations are showing while the viewing the PDF in Android. Is it a problem of my device (i.e., LG Optimus L5 with Ice Cream Sandwich) or does Android itself not support this? (e.g., some restrictions like opening a .zip attachment). I am using Adobe Reader version 10.3.2, build 67615; it shows the images but not animations, while other readers like Polaris Office and Kindle Reader are unable to show the images also. Could someone explain why this is? Am I missing something? How can I view these animations? |

10308 | Largest HTC Desire SD card? | My phone keeps telling me that my storage is low and I barely have any apps on my phone because it tells me this at least three to four times a day. I downloaded this app and moved all my apps (which is a total of three- not including this one) to my SD card and it still keeps telling me that my storage is low. So I deleted some pictures and all my messages. But it keeps telling me the same thing. And I was wondering if I could get a bigger SD card. Mine is a 8 gig. I also was wondering if I can get a new SD card, what is the biggest SD card for my Desire? If I do get a new SD card, can I transfer all my stuff from my old SD card to the new one? Thanks for the help in advance! :) |

I'm a complete Android newb but computer poweruser, so I found this site based on experience with StackOverflow, ServerFault, etc. Go easy on me please. :) I just got an LG Optimus U with US Cellular. In the pull-down menu I have GPS enabled (the satellite-looking thing with the beams), but when I open Google Maps and click the compass button, it says "Waiting for location" for a while and then says my location is temporarily unavailable.

38456 | What RUU do I need for my HTC phone? | I would like to download the RUU for my phone but I can't figure out which one to get. There are several options on sites like shipped-roms.com. Can you help me figure this out? The phone is a HTC Desire (GSM). Here is some additional information. Android version 2.2 Baseband version 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 Build number 2.29.405.2 CL263770 release-keys Software number 2.29.405.2 And here's some info from the HBOOT menu. BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON HBOOT-0.93.0001 MICROP-051d TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101 RADIO-5.11.05.27 First of all, do I pick the Bravo or the Desire link at the website? I know that Bravo was the codename of HTC Desire before it was released, but then why are there two categories? And why does it say BRAVO in the HBOOT menu? Bravo: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo Desire: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Desire If I look at the baseband version in the Desire group I find these two. RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_ARA_2.32.415.3_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157343_signed.exe RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.14_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_224699_signed.exe What's the difference between ARA and WWE? Is that Arabic and World Wide English? What about European sold devices with Scandinavian (and English) localization? Also the 2.29.405.14 seems to be a too high number, or highly developed version that may not be available in my region. The highest update number I have been offered to install is 2.29.405.5 and it was 4.82 MB (incremental update?). There are many more options in the Bravo group. There are special versions for Vodafone and other operator specific versions. My phone is not re-branded and is not locked to any network operator. The ones that I most likely would need (in the Bravo group) are these two: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe Do I really have to match the baseband version and the build number? Can I get a higher build number even if it is a different radio version? Will it work? Is radio version something you can upgrade?... **Long version short...** 1. Do I have a Desire or a Bravo? 2. Do I have to match the baseband version and the build number? 3. Will the WWE releases include Scandinavian languages or only English? |
38450 | Sending calls to voicemail when I am in a meeting | If my aCalendar, or any calendar for that matter, has an appointment, I would like the phone to recognize that I am in a meeting and the call then vibrates or is silent etc. For instance: * If I am in church, I want the phone to register this and then direct the call to voice mail. * If I am in a meeting, I would like the option to have calls come through or go to voicemail. I do not want a blanket approach, but I would like to be able to set this on a meeting by meeting basis. I have looked at the Llama app and may try to Tasker app, but there must be something built into the phone that will allow this. |

80883 | Facebook Messenger always crashing | I have a Dell Venue 8 tablet with Android 4.4.2. Today the Facebook Messenger application started to crash whenever I try to open it.  The crash doesn't happen in my phone (a Moto G running Android 4.4.4 and the same version of the FB messenger). From what I understand, libhoudini.so is the ARM emulation layer (this tablet is a x86 device). No other apps (not even the main Facebook app) seem to present the problem. I tried cleaning its cache/data and uninstalling/reinstalling it but didn't work. What else besides resetting the device can I try? |

14593 | Missing icons at the bottom of the home screen with TouchWiz | My son has recently got a Samsung Galaxy Ace android phone. Somehow he has managed to remove three of the four icons that are normally at the bottom of the screen ( typically the green icon for making a call, the contacts icons etc ). The bottom screen has now only one button a blue box with four small white squares in it. How do I get the missing buttons back? To be specific the buttons that have gone are "Phone", "Contacts" and "Messaging". Instead of being on the bar at the bottom of the screen they are now on the wallpaper with all the other icons. |
18654 | Motorola Admiral Set Date not functioning properly | I am working on an application that does some work once per day. As part of the testing process for applications that use this functionality I generally go into Settings->Date & Time and turn off automatic. Then press Set Date and jump the day forward by one or two, so that I can simulate a day passing and see that my application acts appropriately. On this device (Motorola Admiral) when I press Set Date I do get the date picker dialog, just as expected. However when I select a date and press the set button this date doesn't seem to get stored correctly. Sometimes the line underneath "Set Date" which shows what the date is set for will get updated correctly and show the date that I've just entered. But other times it will just stay displaying the current date. And in either case if I back out of the settings the system still things that it is the current date, rather than the date that I've just entered. Can anyone shed some light on what I need to do in order to be able to properly set the date manually on this device? |
18656 | Keeps loading on startup | My Samsung Galaxy Gio keeps loading when I turn on my phone. I've installed a custom rom, in the recovery mode, and I think I did something wrong.

18653 | Can I safely downgrade an encrypted Asus Transformer TF101 from 8.6.5.21 to 8.6.5.19? | I want to root my encrypted Asus Transformer TF101 (Firmware 8.6.5.21; Serial B80...) and install a custom ROM. I read that the only way to do this is by downgrading to stock 8.6.5.19 and then using Razorclaw. I know that using tablet encryption with Custom ROMs is a big no-no, so I will have to wipe my data (factory reset). However I do wish to keep some application Data (such as save games) to which I only have access via root. So my question is, can I: 1. Safely(!) downgrade to 8.6.5.19 on my encrypted tablet 2. root 3. backup 4. unencrypt the tablet (factory reset) 5. install custom ROM or do I have to: 1. factory reset (losing all my precious data) 2. downgrade to 8.6.5.19 3. root 4. install custom ROM **Update:** I found out that Asus already includes an app which allows to save application data without root (aptly named "App Backup"). So I will go with the second option. I'll leave the question open though as I still don't know if I could have downgraded without doing a factory reset. |
36456 | What folders should I backup to my computer | I have a SGS2 with ICS. The phone is rooted. I use Titanium Backup Pro for backup, but that only backups to the phone itself, so if the phone is stolen or lost those backups are gone as well. I have SSHDroid installed, and yesterday I made a backup of the sdcard folder to my home server using rsync. Now I would like to know if there are other folders that have data in them that I miss. I don't necessarily need a full backup of the phone, don't know if that's useful. I just want all user data safe. So is there something that I'm missing? If so, what folders should I backup as well? |
18658 | OpenVPN with Android 2.3.x - security concerns | I need to use my Android 2.3.x phone to access an OpenVPN server. I have CM 7 with built in support for OpenVPN and tun. My main concern is that I don't know where to put the keys in. If my phone gets in the wrong hands, I'm leaving the keys out in the open and I can't have that. If I had an ICS phone, I'd have full file system encryption and I'd be safe(r). So is there an alternative or some technique I'm not aware of that can store the certificates and the key securely on the phone? |

17936 | AirPlay like app for the Video-out on Galaxy Nexus | I am trying to get the video out on the Galaxy Nexus to do something other than mirroring. In a perfect world I want to do something similiar to the iPhone's AirPlay, but instead of streaming the video to an AppleTV it just pushes the video to the video out accessed by the MHL cable. I would be alright with mirroring if I could lock the phone and it would still play video through the video-out, but to my knowledge that hasn't been accomplished pointing to this post and this post over at XDA Developers. I know Android has the capabilities because of Motorola's webtop software but I'm wondering if there is a hardware issue involved too because if it's solely hardware there no reason why there couldn't be a viable solution to my problem. Any ideas? |
17939 | Radio without the headset | **Is it possible to hear the radio without connecting the headset?** I know the headset acts as an antenna.

66909 | Ignore / stop incoming bluetooth connect/pair requests | since a while I receive bluetooth request from my neighbors Harman Kardon media center. Once I accidently 'clicked' the request and suddenly we were connected (no code or handshake needed). Since I disconnected from the media center, it keeps sending me requests to pair/connect again. I can of course click cancel on each request, but it keeps bugging me ( approx. every 60 seconds, so it's a sort of a request terror.....). I asked the neighbor if he can turn it off, but he is not capable or willing to do so. So I was wondering: can I somehow block this device from sending me requests (well, not from sending of course, bur from my device alerting the request from this particular device)? I run android 4.2.2 on an Acer v370 (Acer liquid E2) |

I could access the SD card from the tablet, and also from my PC when connected with USB. Now it doesn't work either way. I checked in the Settings, and it seems like the SD Card is Unmounted, but even after clicking on Mount it doesn't do anything. I did a factory reboot, it didn't help. I'm not a tech expert, so I can't figure out what's the problem. Any ideas? |

40259 | Which custom or official kernel should I use on SGS2? | I'm using SGS2 with latest stock ICS ROM, but it has few bugs which I really hate, so I want to look at custom kernels which could help me in this. The main headache for me at the moment is I can't turn off my SGS2, when I try to do this my phone reboots itself so I need to pull out the battery to **Switch it off**. I'm getting hardly 24 hour battery backup while I'm not using too many calls or internet on my device, if I charged it 100% at night and wake up in morning then it drains out 5-10% battery. I have disabled _auto sync, network connection_ etc which could be cause to drain out battery fast. Why I'm looking for custom kernels are due to 1: I want to get good battery life. 2: I want a good and stable performance. 3: Don't want to lag while playing games like _Temple Run_ I have heard two custom kernels for SGS2 are **Siyah** and **Speedmod**. Now I'm not sure which one should I use to for my phone for getting a good performance and battery life. **Can I flash kernel using stock recovery of my SGS2**? And is it safe? |
