74710 | Note 8.0 Android 4.4.2 Update: Cannot use pattern lock and credential storage | I updated my Samsung Note 8.0 to Android 4.4.2 (stock) (from somewhat 4.2.x (stock)) today. Then I found that setting up a VPN connection is no longer possible using a screen unlock "pattern". All "credential storage" related things now seem to require either a PIN or a password. I really would like to use the pattern (which was possible before). Things I already tried: * clearing credential storage (source) * setting up a pin and change it back to pattern (did not work) I found a lot of posts about having no lockscreen at all (intentional enter the wrong password, don't set a new one), but I really would like to use the pattern (and VPN). Do you have any ideas how to use VPN and a pattern unlock at the same time? |
74717 | Can't create files on Galaxy SIII via USB | I just got a Samsung Galaxy SIII and connected it to a Windows 7 PC. I installed the Samsung Andorid (sic) USB drivers for Windows too. When I connect the phone, I get the typical popup asking me whether I want to view the files. I do, and Windows Explorer lets me view the contents of the (emulated) SD card. I can create folders there, but I can't create any files. What gives?

74715 | Flashed ROM with the wrong OS (Formatted my Galaxy ACE with Galaxy GIO ROM) | I accidentally installed Android Gingerbread (2.3)'s (Galaxy GIO) Android OS on my G-S5830 (Galaxy ACE) phone and the screen is not showing properly. The phone starts and I can hear it starting up but I cannot see the content.  Click image for larger version How do I install the correct version? I have the ROM but since I cannot see the screen, I couldn't do so. Is there any way? FYI: I tried using adb command shell but I couldn't figure it out. It is not a hardware issue because I checked it by inserting a new screen and it does not come up. |
78848 | Moto g unable to receive SMS after android 4.4.4 | Recently I updated my motog from android 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 through OTA after that I can able to send SMS but unable to receive any SMS.

78849 | Internal space near full but shouldn't be and not according to other stats | So yesterday i was seeing how many apps i have installed and i noticed this...according to which only 248 MB is free. Which looks wrong to me too.  But that is not the case according to storage analyser app...and which i also think should be the case as i know what i am installing and keeping eye on space a certain app takes.  ...you can also see it's the same thing (as storage analyser app) in my computer!  So how come..? is it a problem, and what can i do to fix it? |
78846 | Facebook updates every two days | I just bought a Nexus 5 (US version) and for the past 2 to3 weeks I have noticed that Facebook updates every time I am connected to Wi-fi, I mean I am a developer so I can imagine that updates come out but not so often I assume. Should I just turn auto update off or is there something else that can be done? |
78847 | Perfect voice recognition, but Voice Commands don't work | I'm using a Dutch Nexus 5 with stock Android 4.4.4 KitKat but have the voice language set to **English (US)**. I have the latest files for offline speech recognition for _English (US)_. Google Now, "OK Google"-detection and audio history are enabled, and it all works like a charm. It instantly responds to "OK Google", and transcribes my (English) statements flawlessly. However, Google Now always _starts a search_. Whatever I say, it is never recognized as a command. So, whether I say `Say 'How are you' in Spanish`, `Set alarm for 8 PM` or just `Help`, it just starts a Google search on the exact phrase I said. Obviously that's not very helpful. How can I fix this? (There are only three commands that I've found that _do_ work: `call`, `dial` and `text`.) |
78843 | ADB Doesn't recognize device when on Clockwork Recovery Mode | I'm trying to install another rom on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and when in the Clockwork Recovery Mode, the ADB quits recognizing the phone. When I boot to the SO, the pc normally recognizes it, I gave authorization, I have usb debugging on. When I boot into recovery mode, it quits recognizing, thus not letting me upload the rom. |
73098 | Problems since 4.4.2 OTA - Verizon Wireless Note 2 | ## Background: I was previously rooted and even after disabling root I could not do the OTA (it kept giving me a status error 7). After researching I decided to use ODIN to try and restore to a stock ROM for the upgrade. I initially tried to use **CI605_I605VRLJB_I605VRALJB_CL414933_HWID04_HW_Rev0406_low_ship_user** as the firmware, but it caused my device to go into a firmware upgrade error. I then used **I605VRUEMJ9_I605VZWEMJ9_I605VRUEMJ9_HOME** which got me back to stock 4.2, I OTA'd to 4.3, and using a previously downloaded OTA copy of 4.4.2 I booted into recovery mode and manually installed the OTA. ## The Problem: Since going to 4.4.2 (and I noticed it in 4.3) the Google Play store seems to load EXTREMELY slowly. I have Frontier FiOS and speed testing the connection shows a minimum of 25/11.36 Mbps for my connection. 4G does not appear to work so well either. Could I have messed something up? I do not know why my stuff is working so slowly... _EDIT_ I tested speeds using SpeedOf.Me (website version) and got results of .5-1Mbps DOWN and .5Mbps or less UP. This is regardless of using wifi or 4G. I tested Wifi on my PC and got more than 10Mbps. |
73099 | Problem with resetting Simply Tabletz tablet, no reset or volume buttons | I have a tablet that was marketed by simply tablets, I have had it for about a year and it has worked great, until two days ago, then all of a sudden I get the start screen that says simply tablets and that's it, if a tablet has no reset button and no volume buttons, how can you do a hard reset? |

73097 | Huawei G700-U10 GPS keeps enabling itself after a while | Is there a method to track which apps are turning on my GPS to access my location? I just realized today that my GPS was turned on last night. I turned it off as soon as I noticed, but then it turns back on immediately with the icon flashing in the notification area. The slide bar is also switched to "enabled" in my settings. It happens like a ghost moving behind the scenes so it is pretty scary. Is this a spy phone, app(s) problem or Huawei issue? It was not like this during the immediate purchase which leads me to believe it just happen recently. |

32311 | Google Cloud Print from Android GMail | I have setup Google Cloud Print, and it works great. I love being able to print to my home printer, from my phone no matter where I am. However, the one thing I can't seem to print are GMail emails. I'm using the GMail app (not website) on my Galaxy S3. Everything else I can use Cloud Print and then just Share to it, and it will print. GMail doesn't work like that however. Regular email is a pain as well, as I need to save the email, then I can share it. So my question is, how do I print email through Google Cloud Print, from my S3? |

14169 | Unlocked Galaxy i7500, Reset Will Remove it? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Will resetting my unlocked phone to factory settings lock it again? I just purchased and unlocked a Samsung Galaxy i7500 using FastGSM's system. (It cost $20 and it's used up; I can't redo it.) I know my phone has an option to "reset" it to the default/factory settings. **Will doing so re-lock my phone?** Is the lock hardware-level or OS/software- level? Can I upgrade the OS now that it's unlocked? I noticed my app running a bit more slowly after unlocking, too... I just want to understand what level locking is on. |

32313 | Combine all messages | One thing I do miss about my blackberry was a single list of all my communication. I went to "Messages" and I had texts, emails, bbm, chat, notifications, everything all in one list. With a few email addresses, texting, and other apps all notifying me, it's great that I have the notification bar about new messages, but when trying to find something I got just a few days ago, it's hard to remember if it was an email? which email? text? etc Is there a similar app that combines all communication into a single list? |
52580 | screen not working properly on my tablet | I have a brand new 10.1 inch tablet, made in china. The screen doesn't respond to touch as much as it should, a few other little things and I can't work out some of the onscreen operating icon/button things. The resellers suggested I start with Android Central Forums, as this is the only Android devise they sell so they don't know the answers. I joined up with A.C.Forums, but can't work out how to post.

32315 | Tethering stops blocks my phone's internet | I've successfully tethered my Samsung S2 to my Windows7 laptop. Connectivity's fine for the laptop now but the phone seems to be unable to reach any host. When I disconnect the tether everything works again normally. Is it possible for both devices to access the internet at the same time while tethered? |
32316 | Packet monitoring on phone | I suspect one of the apps on my phone is sending private data back to its servers. I'd like to analyze the traffic generated by this app. Specifically, I'd like to monitor the requests it's making (not the amount and destination but the parameters in each request). Is there any way to do this on my unrooted phone? I thought of connecting my phone and my laptop to the same WiFi network and then analyzing the traffic but since my laptop runs Win7 it seems it's not an easy thing to do (or maybe even not possible according to Wireshark's docs). Is there any way to do this? |

52920 | No signal on custom roms (SGS2+) | I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 plus and rooted it via Odin and put CWM on it, with which I installed the unofficial Cyanogenmod ROM and later P.A.C. Unfortunately I had massive issues with the signal: Despite the fact that the sim gets unlocked when entering the right sim pin at start, there were always only emergency calls available. When trying to manually select the mobile service provider and selecting the available networks (Wireless & network->More->Mobile Networks->Mobile Service Provider), there is an error while searching, and when telling the phone to automatically select a network, it says registered in network, but there is still no connection. Really odd is the fact that when activating the option '2g networks only', the phone is registered in the network of my mobile service provider, but quits after a few seconds. I got the phone from my MSP, so it's branded. May that be the cause of my problem? I also noticed that both the Cyanogenmod and the Pacman ROM use the same kernel: 3.0.31/skullface@Ubuntu_13.04#1. This one is from Cyanogenmod. Any help is appreciated. P.S.: Some terms I used may be incorrect because the language on my phone isn't english. EDIT: I found out that the problem has something to do with a possible netlock on my device, because it askes, when there is the pin code validation disabled, for a code to unlock the sim network. At least that was what some forum threads were suggesting (in german, so I won't post them here). Normally, this behaviour thus shouldn't occur, because I use the same sim card I used with the stock rom. May it be that my EFS directory is corrupt? (the one which contains the IMEI and stuff) EDIT: I think one needs to flash the modem, which is possible for example with ODIN. Haven't tried it although. |

5548 | Why does my Samsung GT-i9000 not detect USB connectivity (not a driver problem)? | I have made several searches across many boards but failed at finding a solution for my problem yet, even though it's been reported by some. My phone was working fine for about a month, I was using the mass-storage technique without a problem until it stopped working one day. Now, when I plug in my phone by usb to any computer, the connection screen will not come up, the battery charging icon sometimes fails to appear as well and I can hear the computer detecting a new device but it will not recognize it. I did a hard reset on the phone, which ended up in 2.1 instead of the 2.2 i had, and the problem persists. I have tried everything, from usb debugging mode to uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, even tried with my friend's cable and it does the same thing...I am very frustrated! Anybody got a fix for me? |

75445 | How do I root Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 without loading a custom ROM? | I am changing the question because my original question is a duplicate of "Does rooting require a custom ROM? ". The answer is apparently "Yes, in fact you need root to load a Custom ROM" So then the obvious question, since searching for rooting my phone keeps on taking me to instructions for installing a custom ROM, is "How do I just root my phone without installing a custom ROM". FWIW this is for a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500, which, surprisingly, is not listed on "How do I root my Android device?" |

This is the first time I try to do this and I feel frustrated. I would really appreciated any help. John |
75443 | How to add secondary patition on sd card to internal memory? | I have a Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 which I have rooted. I have partitioned my 8GB class 10 SD card to have two partitions on it using AParted: 1. A 2GB FAT32 secondary partition. 2. The rest of the SD card into a primary partition.(FAT32) The problem is, even after doing this and installing Link2SD and changing the install location to external, the apps are still being installed into the internal memory and I get a "low on internal memory" message every time I try installing new apps. When I check the Link2SD app list, many of the apps are showing that they have been already moved to the SD card and my secondary partition on the sd card is still pretty much empty. What have I missed over here? (Sorry if this is a lame question. I'm new to rooting and stuff)  |

50775 | Android shell script permissions? | I have a rooted phone, and I was playing around with Terminal Emulator. I tried writing a simple shell script (test.sh) : #!/bin/sh echo "Hello, World!" Then I opened terminal emulator, cd'd to the directory my script was in, and typed: ./test.sh and I got a "permission denied" error. So I tried: su ./test.sh Somehow, still permission denied. So I tried (still as root) : chmod 775 test.sh busybox chmod 775 test.sh busybox chmod +X test.sh None of the 3 gave errors, but ./test.sh still gave permission denied! As a last resort I tried sh test.sh That ended up working. Finally. I'm curious why permission was denied for my own shell script chmodded to 775 when run as root. How can permission be denied for anything as root? How can I fix this and make ./test.sh work? |

4829 | Power draw from GPS - Does granularity affect amount of power drawn? | We all know that GPS draws a considerable amount of battery power. Does anyone know of any studies that test the "granularity" of a GPS signal with how much battery is consumed? I'm not talking about the device-GPS vs cell network triangulated GPS either, the applications in Android can select a distance (1 meter, 5 meters, 500 meters, etc) at which they will be notified of a changed location. I imagine that regardless of what this value is set at, the GPS is actively getting a new location very rapidly, and only notifying the app as soon as it wants. Does anyone know of any studies for power draw with different GPS settings? Thanks! |

If anything required then can anyone please provide details? 2. Any settings required in my phone to play it by default since if it is required then I can do it? Like make sure that .pls files are played in default media player or something? 3. I have heard a lot about “Tunewiki” and “Streamfurious” so do I need it to install any app or winamp in my phone before I can play this shoutcast streams? 4. Any settings required in shoutcast stream creation in order to get it played in android, I have window based stream with version 1.9.5? I am out of clue right now and any help will be greatly appreciated. Also can anyone check this URL in their android and let me know if it runs and if yes, then it runs in browser or in some other way? _**Update_** : I just tried the listen.pls opened in new Motorola touch screen, Android 2.2. It open the default player but then no streaming is done or nothing is played. It is just opening but playing nothing. Can anyone just confirm that Shoutcast stream will not work on any android phone browser till i install Winamp? And suppose i install it and i open listen.pls in browser, will it automatically go in winamp to play or will I need to do any setting? |

When I try to connect to Skype, for example, I might see the packet trace similar to this 20:09:06.516473 arp who-has 157.55.130.144 tell 192.168.0.68 20:09:06.547123 arp who-has 65.55.223.16 tell 192.168.0.68 20:09:06.826819 arp who-has 212.187.172.33 tell 192.168.0.68 20:09:07.006629 arp who-has 157.55.235.151 tell 192.168.0.68 20:09:07.036520 arp who-has 212.187.172.20 tell 192.168.0.68 20:09:07.166537 arp who-has 195.46.253.234 tell 192.168.0.68 20:09:07.546636 arp who-has 65.55.223.16 tell 192.168.0.68 20:09:07.697075 arp who-has 64.4.23.142 tell 192.168.0.68 20:09:07.836535 arp who-has 212.187.172.33 tell 192.168.0.68 20:09:08.006451 arp who-has 157.55.235.151 tell 192.168.0.68 ...

58845 | Lost Device = WiFi Passwords and Backup Data Stored Permanently on Google | Various sites like BGR have written articles on How to remove data from Google's backup and restore cloud. But it's not possible once you've lost access to the device. Hence your data will remain with Google FOREVER. It looks like Android's Backup and Restore option makes it impossible to delete data stored on once the user no longer has access to the device.  According to the Answer in: Google Backup: Multiple devices using the same account Backups are stored in sets: Example: [Device serial][ Google Email] : [3f0e5c90a412cca7] [ sampleemail@gmail.com] and "You can't make a device start writing into a different set, nor can you wipe a whole set." Since this is the case, once you lose access to your device, even with your email logged in from a different device, since you no longer have access to the device with the right serial, you no longer have the ability to delete the set from the Backup & Restore menu. I checked to see if unchecking the "Back up my data" from one device would also uncheck the option across all devices using the same account for backup. Apparently, this option in the other devices remained checked suggesting that their backup sets remained intact and continue to backup. Is there a way to delete the backup data set once the device is inaccessible to the user? |
58846 | Locked out with no service! | I was fiddling with the lock your SIM card features and locked it, but the password I used now will not open it, and it is locked with no service, screen says screen is PUK locked and is asking for an 8 digit password to change the PIN code, which the one I typed when trying to set it was only 4 digits. I think I must have clicked change password right before it locked me out. What do I do now? |
33445 | Cannot Reach Restore Progress Screen In Titanium Backup PRO | On a Samsung Galaxy S I-9000, I just installed CyanogenMod 10 Stable and the latest Google Apps for CM10. TB Pro is version 5.7.0.1. I started a restore (missing apps with data) and during the restore I accidentally hit the home button. The restore is in progress, as evidenced by the status bar at 37%, but it is stuck at 37%. It might need a TB password or some other information to complete the restore of some app. My problem is that I CANNOT access the restore progress screen via TB or via the status bar. If I try to reinitiate the restore it tells me there is an operation already in progress. **How do I get back to the restore progress screen so I can give it the input it needs to complete the restore operation?** |
73427 | Setting up web server on flooded HTC Wildfire S | A couple of months ago I got my Wildfire S accidentally flooded. It was just collecting dust since then, but today I came up with an idea to get a web server running on it. As far as I know, everything works fine except the display. So here's my question: is there a way to set up a server on that phone without the need to use the touchscreen? Maybe I could install some light linux distribution and configure it via USB/SSH? Thanks! |

36547 | select ip phone account for native dialer | I have two different SIP accounts: one is my favorite, but is only available from my home network. The other should be used from all other wi-fi networks. In case that I do not have any wi-fi connection, I would like to use the regular telephone service. I managed to setup both accounts as IP accounts in android (4.2, G Nexus, native SIP support). However, I can only define one of the IP accounts as primary. This means that I need to change the primary account manually whenever I leave or come home. Android only asks whether to use IP or not, but doesn't ask which IP account to use. Is it possible to change this behavior? If possible, I would like to use the native dialer and no SIP app. |

33990 | Disable Slide to Lock | I have a Cruz T301 which is rooted. The screen calibration is a bit off and I cannot access the home screen. (It is next to impossible to use the slide to unlock.) Basically, it will slide to the right, but not far enough to unlock. I know that the app "nolock" will correct this problem, but since I cannot even access the home screen, I am unsure how to turn on this app. I have tired three different ROMS (Official Cruz, SJHill, and the Davik.) If I could find the ADB shell command to disable the slide lock, I think I could save this tablet. I have tried the adb shell input keyevent 82, but it will not work. I also have Android Commander installed on my PC. With this I can install apps, just not access the features. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks... |
33993 | Using a fully charged Galaxy Note | Is it safe to use a Galaxy Note that is fully charged and at the same time it is plugged in to the wall socket?

33999 | Can physical keyboards really only be used with specific devices? | The web is full of physical tablet keyboards, all of them being restricted to one (or a few) specific devices. Can the keyboards really only be used with those devices or do they use the same Bluetooth/USB/... interface anyway? Example: Logitech's "Ultrathin Keyboard Cover" was specificallty designed for the iPad. Can it be used with other tablets like lenovo's "Ideapad A2109A"? What about keyboards that aren't even designed for tablets at all? Can generic Bluetooth keyboards be used with android tablets? I know this question is too generic to be answered with a simple _yes_ or _no_. The question is just whether they are compatible as a rule. |
78012 | Wifi Direct power consumption | Is the power consumption using Wifi Direct the same as when using traditional Wifi (for internet connection)? I'm guessing it may depend on if your device is acting as a legacy client or as an AP, so maybe it's roughly the same when acting as a client? And is it much more power-consuming when the device is serving as an AP? It would be really helpful if someone could share his/her experience or any resource on the web (because I wasn't able to find any) regarding Wifi Direct's power consumption. Thanks! |

78016 | How to prevent S3 from turning on when charging | I'm trying to charge a new battery with my phone turned off. As soon as I plug the phone in to the wall charger, the screen turns on and the phone tries to immediately boot instead of staying on the 'battery' screen pre-boot. I've tried an XPosed module to disable the dock settings to see if that was the problem but it's still attempting to boot when plugged into the wall. I just want to charge my battery! The SuperAmoLED screens are battery hogs and having it on with a dead battery is really going to affect the charging speed. :( |
39343 | How do I disable notifications for a second Gmail account? | I have two Gmail accounts, one that I use for mailing lists and signing up for online services and whatnot, and the other one for more important stuff like work and friends. I'd like to set it up so that my phone doesn't play the notification sound when an email comes in for the mailing list account. I only want to hear notifications for the account that has the more important email. I can't find any setting to differentiate notifications between the two accounts. Is this possible, and if so how? |
3091 | Is it possible to install an app and exclude some of its requested permissions? | Occasionally I want to install an application which requires certain permissions that I feel it really shouldn't need. Can I install the app without giving it these permissions? For example, GPS location, phone state, internet connection, etc. Is it possible to change the permissions of an application once it is installed? |
45815 | Setting custom permissions per-application | I want more granular control over permissions. I’m fine with applications having some permissions, but I want to be in charge and have more granular control. Can this be done on Android? I know iOS has this for some things like contacts and calendar data. The user is prompted before the application gets access to these sensitive datasets. Technically, I can see this working by denying API access when the application tries to access it. |
47518 | How do I install a .apk on my Nexus 7 using the browser? | I recently got an Asus Nexus 7 Tablet shipped to me, and want to be able to use all of the .apk files I have saved on my computer (all purchased/downloaded legitimately). Here's the issue: I'm in the navy and underway, and will be for quite some time. I have no ability to connect my Nexus to a wifi/wired network (not allowed to plug it into a ship's network computer via USB), and I have no ability to connect my personal computer to the internet either, so setting up a Google Play account on the tablet is a no-go. My laptop is a Macbook, and I DO have Android File Transfer installed, but that's pretty much all I'm working with here. When I plug my tablet into the laptop, Android File Transfer pops up, and I can drag and drop files onto the Nexus, HOWEVER, I don't have any file manager program to access the .apk files once they're on the tablet. I have tried going to settings and checking the Unknown Sources box in the Security menu, dragged and dropped an assortment of .apk files into the Nexus root folder, and then have entered "file:///sdcard/xxx.apk" into the Google Chrome internet browser window ("xxx.apk" being whatever file path I'm trying to access). But when I hit "Go", the browser page just flashes, refreshes with a blank address bar, and it's like nothing happened. Is there any hope for me, or is this Nexus 7 just going to be a very expensive paper weight until I finally see land (and wifi) again? Thanks in advance for any advice! |

61714 | How Do I see hidden folders on Android? | This always happens to me. Someone tells me to access some folder on Android (in this case `/sdcard/Android/data/com.android.lmt/`) and I can't find it. I'm using the "File Manager" app and asking it to show hidden files and folders but I still can't find the folder. This happens a lot.  Screenshot (click image for larger variant) |
48053 | How to know which email address was registered to my lost phone? | My phone(Samsung Galaxy Note 2) is lost. I want to delete data from it, especially my personal photos. I don't remember my play store account which was associated with my Note 2. I tried to contact my local carrier but they can just issue my SIM again, which I did. Through IMEI they can't do it. I'm from Saudi Arabia. Here they can't do it. So is there anyway to this or any international assistance from Samsung? |
77109 | Samsung Galaxy S5 turns on when fully charged and never turns off | I just 'upgraded' from the Samsung Galaxy S4 to the S5. Both use similar 4.4.2 Touchwiz software, but by new one has some odd behavior. I'll explain. Notes: I set smart screen sleep (or timeout, how it's called) to ON and put it to one minute. I do have the Dev options revealed, but the "Stay awake" is not checked. I'll describe some situations: Phone unplugged, unlocked -> Sleeps after 1 minute idle. Phone unplugged, locked -> Sleeps after 1 minute (or even less) idle, no matter if I have notifications or no. Phone plugged in, unlocked -> Sleeps after 1 minute idle. Phone plugged in, locked, manually woken up (pressing some button) -> Sleeps after one minute. Phone plugged in, locked, woken up by some notification -> Rings, displays the notification, and never sleeps until I press the lock / power button. I tried to minimize the problem by minimizing the notifications I get while it sleeps: turned off wifi, blocked messages, etc. But there is still one problem. I charge my phone over night. Plug it in at evening (22:00), at about 1:00 (night) it finishes charging. The "Battery full" notification appears, and also the popup saying "Close the charging cover for water protection" fires up. And after that, the phone does not time out. And when I wake up, the phone is very hot. I bet it's not OK. And also, from my knowledge, static images burn into OLED displays. I really don't wanna break my phone by charging it at night. What I tried: restoring and leaving dev mode off. Resetting to factory, twice. Tried letting it on silent with and without vibrate. Tried putting some apps to block notifications, tried changing all the power, timeout and sensors options. Nothing stops it from lighting up and never lighting down at night, and over-heating itself. Any ideas? |
77075 | why does my factory reset tablet have no stoarage space? | I have an envizen tablet android 4.2.2 and when I factory reset it and check my storage it says 104mb apps 92kb audio 9.2mb cached and 1.44 misc. But for some reason 0 available when I should have 8 gigs internal |
38297 | Can I prevent home screen shortcuts from getting deleted or moved around? | I had recently gifted my Mom a Nexus 7, with a hope that she will like to read books. She is old with poor eye sight and can't read English that great. I find her eager to learn and she had made a good progress in reading few books. Since she is not used to these gadgets, I am trying to keep settings in her tablet constant. Recently I observed that the shortcut in home screen for PDF reader disappeared and resulting in discontinued reading till my arrival. The frequency of this sort of interruption has increased now a days. Rather than finding how the shortcut is being deleted, I think preventing changes to home screen is sensible. Hence, I would like to know about any means to keep the icons or shortcuts in home screen and in launcher constant, immune to long press and drag and drop operations. Device info: Nexus 7, running stock 4.2.1, unrooted, but willing to root if required. |
77107 | Need help in unbricking soft bricked LG G2 LS980 | I recently purchased **LG G2 LS980** (locked on Sprint network in USA) in India and unlocked it to work in India. The build number of the software that came with phone was **LS980ZV7**. The phone kept downloading OTA updates (which I could never stop) and I kept installing them. The software version updated from ZV7 to ZV8 to ZVA. After ZVA, the phone downloaded ZVA to ZVC update (611 MB) several times, installed but never updated the software version. In every update, the phone rebooted, optimized apps and booted normally. One day, I installed TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) on my phone. The phone again downloaded an ZVA to ZVC OTA update . I went on to install the OTA update. The phone rebooted into TWRP and never booted back into normal mode since then. In an effort to restore the phone, I did what ever possible to restore the phone. I even did the hard reset of the phone. But the phone still boots into TWRP. Now, in a way, the phone is "soft bricked". And the only option (I may be wrong) seems to flash the phone with a custom ROM. Any help please. Thanks in advance |
