Why can't my Galaxy s4 load my email inbox after I changed the password?
|
I changed the password for my gmail account a couple days ago. Since changing it, my galaxy s4 cannot load the webpage. Whenever I try to load gmail in the web browser, it gets stuck loading and reloading the webpage, though no content ever resolves. I've been trying to load the page daily for about a week now with no success. I thought it may have the old password saved on my phone, but I enter the new password on the step before loading the page. Tips?

Where is default navigation app (Blue Arrow) in custom ROM?
|
I recently installed the Hyperdrive Android custom ROM version RLS12 on my Samsung S4 and cannot locate the blue arrow icon for navigation. I do have the Google Maps installed. Is this something I failed to check off in my install options or is this just gone in RLS12 (I had it in an earlier Hyperdrive release from around October 2013) or is it just hidden and I need a pointer?

Where is the current_now measurement generated
|
If you go into the adb shell, you can check what the amount of current the battery is discharging by using the following command cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_now When the current is discharged it shows it as a negative value. I am wondering where in the kernel this current_now file is generated. I am using a nexus 7(flo) and I am using 4.3 jelly bean. An app I am using (trepn) doesn't like negative measurements. So it shows current values as 0. I am trying to find where the current now file is generated and replace the sign

Sync Spotify local files in a network that blocks the service
|
I use Spotify Premium. One of the features it advertises is that as long as my phone and my computer with local music files are on the same Wi-Fi network, my computer will automatically send those local files to my phone. Unfortunately, I live on a university campus where there are some networking tools that occasionally prevent such peer-to-peer services from working, so my phone never syncs with my computer. I would like to put my phone on another network with just my computer so that Spotify syncs correctly. So far, I've tried: * Creating an ad-hoc network on my computer with my phone. Unfortunately, the Android OS won't connect to ad-hoc networks without rooting the phone, which I don't want to do. * Enabling Internet Sharing on my computer (a Mac) and connect my phone to the network that creates. Unfortunately, all of the instructions I've seen involve an option using AirPort in the computer's settings, but the option isn't available on my computer and I have no idea why. * Creating a mobile hotspot using my Android and connect my Mac to that. I got this set up, but Spotify didn't start syncing even after I connected my computer to my phone. * Plugging my phone into my computer via USB. Unfortunately, Spotify only seems to sync over Wi-Fi and won't do anything if I connect my phone any other way. Is there any other way I can either * Create an ad-hoc-like Wi-Fi network that contains only my Android and my Mac, or * Convince Spotify to sync my local files without using Wi-Fi?

Internal storage space running low after rooting and deleting unwanted apps
|
I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy GT-I8190 (S3 Mini) running Android 4.1.2 and I rooted my phone in order to get more internal memory to my disposal. It worked, but only for a little while. Then the memory started getting full and pops up a "warning" to say that the storage space is running low. I have an app installed by the name of "Clean Master" and I frequently clean the "junk" files on and clean it at the advanced side too. I also do a memory boost, but nothing helps to clear out memory space. I also cleared out my clipboard of everything I had copied and I unrooted my phone to see if it would help, but the memory just got fuller again so then I rooted my phone once again to take away the unwanted apps. I also have a 4GB external memory card in my device and I've moved all the apps (part of them that could move) to the memory card, but no positive results to my liking as yet. What can I do to clear up the memory? Because I can't even update my current apps because of the lack of space. Please help! Thanks

Cannot access galaxy nexus via adb
|
Yesterday my noble Galaxy Nexus (maguro) sacrificed itself to save me when I fell from my mountain bike. I would like to copy the data to my computer. What is good: the screen and the sim card is broken, but the rest of the phone seems to be still working. When I plug in the phone on my Linux (Debian) computer, it is detected as multimedia device. However, I cannot access the data, as I would need to unlock the screen (which is broken). Alternatively, I tried to access the phone using the adb-tools. However, the device is not listed: $ ./adb devices List of devices attached $ I can see my phone in lsusb: $ lsusb ... Bus 006 Device 002: ID 04e8:685c Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd GT-I9250 Phone [Galaxy Nexus] ... I tried some different stuff, like generating a `/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules` file, but this didn't help. I also tried to boot the phone to the bootloader, but I didn't succeed - maybe the connection to the volume buttons is broken. Some additional information that may help: my Galaxy Nexus runs AOKP and Clockworkmod is installed.

My phone- HTC One V reboots when I insert my SDCARD
|
I have a HTC One V that reboots whenever I have my 8GB SDCard (Sandisk) inserted. Currently it has 2.5GB data in it. Once i remove the sdcard, my phone works fine. I have many apps and photos on my SDCARD. I am able to read the sd card contents on my windows PC. I formatted the SDCARD and copied the contents back, but the reboot problem persists. What else can I try to get rid of those reboots? I went through this forum and one way to overcome is to fool your phone stating part of your sd card as internal memory itself. Can it be done without rooting your phone?

Stuck on "Turning Wi-Fi on..."
|
I've a Wintouch Q75s Tablet running on Android 4.0.4 ICS. I was using its Wi- Fi with no problems until yesterday, the Wi-Fi didn't want to turn on. I've noticed that my MAC address changed to **Unavailable** which I think indicates an error. What can I do to use my Wi-Fi once again? I contacted the vendor but they didn't respond. Is there any hope my Wi-Fi can run again? **Edit** : It started happening when I removed the wpa_supplicant. Now the WiFi does not want to turn on. However, the portable hotspot starts successfully without any problems. **Edit** : The problem was solved by flashing a new firmware from Wintouch's website, the firmware was Q75SJ30401.IMG (Barcode Q75SJ304xxxxx) A list of available firmwares for Wintouch devices can be found here Thanks for everyone who helped me :)

Lock screen unactive for 8 seconds - Exchange security setup on Android 4.1.2

Can someone reproduce this issue. I have setup exchange account on my SGS2 with Android 4.1.2. When you setup exchange on android it is required by security policy of exchange server to have screen lock on - in my case it is secured with PIN. When i try to unlock the phone, my screen is not active, i can just wait and after about 8 second it responsive again and i can unlock it. This doesn't have every time. Let's say 5 times/day .. probably some issue with light sensor. Please don't post solutions like "You can install 3rd party program ... ", i want to have this security enabled. Thank you.

Problem with updating CyanogenMod - Phone will no finish booting up
|
**TL;DR** Updated CyanogenMOD with ROM Manager and when it rebooted it is stuck on this screen:  I have an EVO with cyanogen 7. The ROM Manager app notified me of of an update. I clicked through everything to proceed with the update and everything seemed to be going fine; it shutdown, started back up, then showed a screen with a lot of text and an Installation Progress bar. Once that finished, it rebooted, showing the initial white EVO 4G screen. It then goes the screen above where it has been stuck for more then half hour (the blue arrow is still circling in the circle). Does anyone have any suggestions on what went wrong and what I can do to fix it?

How to turn on load external Javascript on the Galaxy Nexus?

I never had this problem on Gingerbread, so I think it has something to do with Ice Cream Sandwich.  So I'd like to know which settings do I have to tweak so the Javascript gets loaded anyway? It does seem to load on Dolphin, so it seems limited to the stock browser.

How to sync my contacts with their gmail account?
|
I have bought Nexus 4 and i have imported phone contacts from my older Phone. I don't have email id for many of the contacts,i have just their phone numbers alone. Now i want to sync them with their email. Is there any way to do this. And is there any way to sync them with their fb account. (To be clear my question is if i can sync them to their gmail or fb by just using their Number). Actually i have 'Add Connection' option in 'People' tab and i'm able to get the contacts from Google Plus correctly. But when i add them to circles they are saved as separate contact and my old contact with phone number alone as separate contact.

In Android 4, does disabling "Show notifications" have an effect on the process priority with regards to low memory?
|
Android 4 has a feature where you can disable notifications for an app by going to that app's properties and unchecking a checkbox. Both temporary and ongoing notifications will be hidden. My question relates to low memory situations. If your device is low on memory, it will selectively kill processes to regain memory. Apps not in the foreground will go first. Apps that have a persistent notification have higher priority (though they, too, may be killed in extreme cases). Many utility apps, like tasker, llama, Juice Defender, and others have an in- app ability to disable the ongoing notification icon. They all stress, however, that hiding the icon will cause their respective app to be more likely to be killed if there is low memory. If I select to hide the notifications within the app properties, the app (presumably) doesn't know that it is being silenced. If I hide the notifications via app properties, does the app therefore get pushed to a lower priority when memory is low? Or does the persistent notification simply get hidden, but is still running and giving the app the higher memory priority?

Contact details showing up for sources that have sync turned off
|
I am new to Android, and I am trying to learn, (sometimes unlearn) and work around "issues". So please bear with me for my naïveté. I have multiple accounts (multiple Google accounts, Skype, WhatsApp etc) configured on my phone. I want to sync contacts only from one Google account (let us say `x.y@gmail.com`). I have turned off Sync for all other accounts (let us say `a.b@gmail.com` and `p.q@gmail.com`) in the Accounts settings page. I see that only contacts from `x.y@gmail.com` getting displayed by default, but if the same contact exists in another account as well, when I see the details from the other account also when I open it. Say I have two accounts, `x.y@gmail.com` and `a.b@gmail.com`. I have a contact named "Test Sync" in both these accounts. I don't use `a.b@gmail.com` for contacts any more but it has a older copy of Test Sync with a older number. `x.y@gmail.com` has the latest details and this is the account I intend to use for contacts. x.y@gmail.com has 9876543210 which is the latest number a.b@gmail.com has 12345678900 which is an older number. Sync is off for contacts from `a.b@gmail.com`. In the contacts app, in the "Contacts to Display" section, only `x.y@gmail.com` is selected (`a.b@gmail.com` is not selected) When I see the list of contacts, _Test Sync_ is listed, which is expected as this contact is present in `x.y@gmail.com`. When I tap this contact to open it, I expect to see the number `12345678900` but I do not expect to see the number `9876543210`. But I see both:  I don't want my phone to use `a.b@gmail.com` at all, in any way, for contacts. This is what I would expect when I turn off contacts Sync for an account and when I leave it unselected in the "Contacts to Display". Is this possible without removing the account altogether or deleting all contacts from the account? (I have a HTC one)

The Android Market / Play Store is structured with three main headings at the moment (at least in Australia, might be different elsewhere): * Apps * Games * Books However, when you delve into the "Apps" section, all the games are still present in the list, taking up an awful lot of the volume for something that has its own separate subcategory. Is there a view of the market that does not include apps marked as "Games" in the "App" section? Either in the on-phone version or a separate website.

Speed of WiFi file transfer from PC to phone

I have WiFi router set up. Both my phone and Windows PC connects to the same WiFi. So I tried ES File Explorer to copy shared folders from my Windows PC to my mobile. However transfer speed goes as high as 570 KB/s but not more than that. Since I configured my WiFi router to allow speed as high as 300 Mbps I am guessing why it cant hit the Mbps speeds. What can I do improve on my speed since I move movies worth in GBs and it takes almost an hour or more. Is it limited by the speed of the mobile and its internals?

How to root Innos A35
|
I bought a dual sim phone from a local carrier which has been branded in their own name. After searching I found that it is the innos A35 phone. It has dual sim support and sim1 has been locked to the carrier I have mentioned. For sim2, the "Use only 2G networks" tick is ticked and it cannot be unticked(the tick is disabled). Due to this reason I can only access Internet through the above mentioned carrier's connection. My first question is, will rooting the phone allow me to remove the mentioned restrictions? My second question is about how to root the phone. Following this guide I got stuck at the command `$./psneuter` with the error `Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for device)`. The version of Android is 2.3.5 Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

The screen is still black, but when you press the power button, a picture of a low battery with a charging sign pops up momentarily. I tried to flash my device with fastboot (in the android tools), but I get the text: > < waiting for device > When I run `fastboot devices`, I get a blank line (no devices). I'm running Windows 7, and when I looked at the device management, I couldn't find my Kindle or anything like it (might just be me, though). I unplugged the Kindle momentarily and saw no change in the device list (which usually refreshes when a device is added or removed). Any ideas on what's going wrong and what I can do to get my device recognized by fastboot?

Can I customize the list of text messages that I can send when I slide to 'Text' instead of 'Answer' for an incoming call?
|
I love the ICS feature that allows you to select 'Text' instead of 'Answer' or 'Ignore' for incoming calls, but I would love to be able to set what the options are for outgoing texts. Is this possible? I am running ICS on a Droid RAZR MAXX. Thanks!

How to see additional email folders from corporate account email?

Deactivate Talk Messages on Samsung
|
On my Samsung Galaxy S2, I am using Google Talk. I also use the preinstalled messaging app for SMS. This messaging app seams to read my Google account and shows Google Talk messages. Therefore I get Google Talk messages twice. Once in each app. How can I deactivate receiving Google Talk messages in the preinstalled messaging app without deactivating the whole Google account on my phone?

How to put a shortcut to a settings submenu on a home screen
|
Use case: I would like to change the input language for voice input without having to click through "Settings/voice input and output/voice recognition settings/Language" And I have a couple of similar ones resulting in the same question: Is there a way to place a shortcut to a particular submenu of the settings on a home screen? Another (even better) option would be to tie a praticular setting to a custom keyboard shortcut. Am I expecting too much? Thank you

Why does the home screen stay empty (no application icons/no widgets) sometimes?
|
I have a Motorola Milestone, and sometimes when I press Home to go back to the Home Screen, the screen shows no application icons, no widgets. It simply stays blank, with the wallpaper on background. I can navigate to the other Home Screens by dragging to left or right, but every screen it empty. The phone seems normal, no slowness, the app drawer opens up normally. The only solution I thought was to restart the phone. I don't use any task killer. I also noticed this started to happen recently, after installing many applications. And it normally happens after running some heavy app, like Angry Birds. Did anyone notice this too?

Rooting a regularly used Droid Incredible
|
I remember when I jailbroke an iPhone one time I had to use iTunes to restore the default system because there were a lot of applications installed on the phone already (which apparently increases the chances of a brick). Is this the case with Android phones, specifically the Droid Incredible? I have been using it regularly for a period of two or more weeks and I would like to root it but I want to make sure it is safe to do so with a lot of applications already installed.

University network crashes phone
|
At my college the Wi-Fi uses WPA2 Enterprise to secure the connection. I log in with a username and password. My phone (LG Optimus Elite, Android 2.3.7) successfully connects to the network, and I can use it for an arbitrary amount of time before the phone suddenly crashes and reboots. I've successfully used the phone on other wireless networks, so i know that's not the problem. Any ideas? The specific configuration of the network is below (per the university's directions) EAP method: PEAP Phase 2 Authentication: MSCHAPV2 CA Certificate: unspecified User certificate: unspecified Identity: MyUserName Anonymous Identity: Blank Password: MyPassword Edit: Common times when phone crashes (only on university Wi-Fi, never any other time) * Loading/Panning in Maps * During unlock * Loading a webpage * ...randomly when I'm not doing anything

Wifi Problem with Samsung S3 Mini
|
I got my Samsung S3 Mini yesterday, but at work this morning I tried logging into our wifi (which I have been using problem free for years on all my other phones) and now I seem to have done something wrong! Everytime I try to connect to the wifi, it brings up our network, in light below the name it says "Secured (WPS Available) and the wifi sign has a lock on it. If I enter the password there are 2 options "Cancel" or "Connect"... **but** "Connect" is not available and instead only lets me "Cancel". Please help! I've restored factory settings on my phone, I've put it on and off dozens of times, I've searched for settings to change, but I just am not getting it done.

Unable to connect to wifi after automatic upgrade
|
I have a Samsung Tab2 GT-P5110 that did an automatic upgrade to android version4.2.2 and ever since I cannot connect to wifi. As I only use it for online things its rendered useless. I cant remove or upload the few important documents that I took screen shots off and with the new upgrade it even made taking screen shots almost impossible. Why do they create things that make their products useless. Also could you please tell me what the eye icon is up on the right hand corner near the battery charge icon and time. Its been there since the upgrade and I have no idea what it is for. Actually nothing about this upgrade is any good. It even takes longer to open the keypad to do anything. Its slowed the whole thing down.

Unable to access files in Samsung Galaxy Android 4.0
|
I am connecting a Samsung Galaxy Note II(Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich) to Ubuntu 12.04 laptop through USB. I am able to see the directories like Music, files, Bluetooth, ShareViaWiFi etc. I also see a message at the top right corner which says **"These files are on a digital audio player"** but when I open these directories I am unable to see any file. I want to copy a media file located in **ShareViaWiFi** folder to my Ubuntu laptop. But I am unable to see the file when I open the folder in Ubuntu. I can see the file in the Samsung Galaxy, so I know it is there for sure.

Why does my phone reset the wallpaper to this CyanogenMod default image?
|
Note II - CM11 Nightly - KitKat 4.4.2 Every now and then, my phone will reset the wallpaper to this default one. It happens randomly and not even after a boot or any state changing event. It could be possible that an app crashes, and it resets the background, but that does not make much sense. If anyone can help me prevent from the wallpaper from changing, that would be fantastic.

How do I create a ClockworkMod installation package?
|
I'm a seasoned Linux veteran and recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 from T-Mobile. I've been feeling the tinkering bug, so I opted to download the source code from Samsung's site and start fiddling. My problem is that I've already got ClockworkMod installed on my phone, so I don't want to odin flash a new kernel and thereby corrupt ClockworkMod, so I'm looking for details on how to create a proper ClockworkMod install package (generally/always a zip file?) so that I can test the newly compiled kernels. My searching on google thus far has brought up naught. The ClockworkMod page seems to be pretty barren of documentation. Can anyone point me to some documentation on the install package creation process?

How to transfer WhatsApp conversations to a new phone?

I have reinstalled it on the new phone, and the `msgstore.db.crypt` files are there, but WhatsApp does not read the older conversations back. What I would like to do is have WhatsApp appear as an unbroken list of chats so that the date that I changed phones is not apparent in the list of chats.

500 charge limit on wireless charger for Nexus 4 / 5 (QI)
|
I recently bought a QI compatible charger for my Nexus 5. On the box it states, that the wireless charges up to 500 times. I don't understand why the charger is only able to charge my phone 500 times. What happens to the charger so that he does not work anymore? Can someone explain that? Thanks for you help. It is exactly this device: QI charger from ravpower Edit 2: Looking at the website of the maker, it seems that they sell a mobile power bank as well. Perhaps they use the same packaging for the mobile power bank wireless charger and the wireless charger without battery. Edit 3: I found the packaging on the internet. Picture of the box

My LG G2X P999 doesn't boot into APX mode
|
I have a **LG G2X P999** phone and as with most of my phones I root them. I have seen many tutorials on how to root my version ( **Gingerbread 2.3.3** ) and in all I must boot the phone in **APX** mode in order to install the Nvidia drivers. The method is **NvFlash** which installs ClockWorkMod ( **CWM** ) which then serves as a basis to root the phone. But before CWM can be installed the phone battery must be removed, the volume up & down button pressed simultaneously and then connected via the USB cable to the computer. According to the tutorial I should see APX device with a yellow triangle. The tutorial already provides the necessary drivers to install. The problem is when I connect my phone I just hear the traditional windows sound which indicates that something has been inserted. Checking the device manager reveals no unusual device. It is really baffling me why the phone is not booting as it should into APX mode. This is fairly a straightforward process so I guess I most be missing something. **FAQ** 1. I have several USB cables and I have tried them all. 2. I have a clean install of windows 7 which I can revert back to a previous state. I have tried the process several times. 3. USB debugging is checked. 4. The phone doesn't have any physical defects; all buttons respond as should be. Everything is working. 5. I have several computers and in all I get the same results.

Is there any way to make it so that pressing the correct code automatically unlocks it, without having to press ok?

Unknown email address showing in a contact card
|
I have a contacts issue. My wife, lets call her Jane Doe for example, is showing an unknown email address in her contact card on my Android phone. It shows her actual address then a second bogus one. Jane.Doe@gmail.com which is correct but then a second one shows as JaneDoe@gmail.com and this email address has never existed. This bogus email address doesn't show in my Gmail contacts under her name on the web browser interface and also she has a Google+ acount again with only the correct email address showing. It only shows up in my Android phone and if I edit contact, i.e. edit the contact info stored on my phone the bogus email address disappears and cannot be edited suggesting its pulled in from another source. The Android contact links consist of only the local (synced) Google contact, the Google+ contact and the Whatsapp contact that only contains the name and mobile number info.

Now it seems to sort contacts randomly all by it self without any regards to order in which favorite contacts are themselves.

Android limited to 1 hour video recording?
|
At the moment, I am using the standard video recording app for video recording. I have found that the recording automatically stops after just 1 hour. Is this a deliberate limitation placed on the app, or is this an android limitation? I have a 32Gb sd-card, so I don't think storage is a problem. I am using Android 2.2. I understand that this particular version of android has a 2.1Gb file size limit, but the videos I am recording are no where near 2.1Gb in file size. So what is causing the video to stop after just one hour is my real question.

Shortcut to turn Wi-Fi on/off on Samsung Galaxy Nexus?
|
Since the sync utility I use to sync my Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Outlook only supports Wi-Fi instead of USB, I searched the AppStore for an application that adds a shortcut on the screen to make it easier to turn Wi-Fi on and off. I tried DroidMania's, but it doesn't seem to work (when clicking on the icon, it simply displays a text page). Next, I tried Hotspot Widget, but nothing happens when I click on the shortcut. Other apps seem old, are only 1.0, and might not work either. Hard to believe something that simple couldn't be found easily. Does anyone know of a very simple application that 1. Simply adds a shortcut on the screen to do this. 2. And, definitely works on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus?

Taking control of Android tablets in corp environment, best practices
|
We are using Android application for our workers. Some of them using personal phones and it's OK. But many have company-issued tablets. Those are regular 7 inch tablets. We get them when they are on sale or free, etc. Simple consumer-grade stuff. They work OK for our purpose, but we can not _lock_ them so users don't watch Youtube (dataplans), etc. Ideally we would like to run it in such way where users have acces to one application only. What is the best way to accomplish this? 1. In new version 4.2.2 I think Android introduced kiosk mode. It is "kind of" working but not really. Application relies on GPS and 3G. Users can swipe menu and turn airplane mode, change stuff we don't want them to change even in Kiosk mode. 2. We have most tablets in older < 4 versions. I am thinking about doing root to devices. I know warranty will be void, but most warranties out anyway, I think when they sell it to us they give 90 days only. Is there any software for rooted devices where we can block everything? Is there any difference what can/can't be rooted. We don't have 1 kind of devices, all kind of models from different providers. Verizon, Spring, ATT. Motorollas, Samsungs, Lenovos, etc.

I have rooted my phone, but why can't I Telnet?

I have a T-Mobile G1 and rooted it using AndRoot. I've confirmed that I have root by using Wireless Tethering, I get all the required request superuser permission dialogues. However when I go to the Telnet application and try to telnet it refuses to let me, I get: Error While connecting to server localhost/127.0.0.1:23 - Connection Refused. I've tried various different connection strings (e.g. just 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0) I read that you might need to reboot the phone after rooting so I did and then confirmed again that I still have su by using wireless tether and superuser permissions app. Is there anyway I can get this working as I'd like to flash Amon Ra's Recovery mod and start playing around with the Roms again.
