History of files sent over Bluetooth?
|
Does Android keep a history of the files sent via Bluetooth? I didn't see anything like that in the user interface (there's a log of received files, but not sent ones), but maybe there's a hidden log file somewhere? I need to check past activity. Installing an app to start logging this now won't help me.

Media audio plays through front speaker?
|
I've got a Nexus 5 running stock 4.4.2, not rooted. Sometimes, seemingly at random, I will go to do something that plays sound (watch a YouTube video, play a podcast, etc) and the audio comes through the front speaker (the earpiece, where you'd normally hold it up to your head) instead of the bottom speaker. When this happens, the volume buttons always change the "phone" volume (handset icon) instead of the media volume (speaker icon). Stranger still, some applications still use the right output - Amazon MP3 will play through the normal speaker, but Pocket Casts won't, and because of the volume button issue there's no easy way to change the actual loudness of the former. I'm having trouble finding this issue on forums. Does anybody else get this? Is it special to the N5? Is it caused by a specific app? Can I stop it from happening, or at least recover from it without rebooting?

Is PNC Bank's Virtual Wallet accessible from Android?
|
I am a college student in need of a new bank account. PNC Bank's Virtual Wallet service really appeals to me, except I have one unanswered question: Will I be able to keep an eye on it from my Android phone? Virtually every major bank appears to offer some sort of free downloadable app for Android, but I read comments that the standard PNC Bank app does not work well with, specifically, a Virtual Wallet account, due to it's three-fold Checking-Reserve-Savings system. Nowhere on PNC's website do they clarify this issue. Seemingly in response to this issue, PNC Bank has published an app specifically for Virtual Wallet customers, but this app appears to be available only on the iPhone, not for Android. Since a real app does not seem to exist, one might wonder whether the Virtual Wallet website is well-behaved in the standard Android mobile browser, and how much functionality I might be able to expect. There appears to be no way to find out except to open the account first and try it for myself, which is unacceptable, hence my question here. Can anyone with a PNC Virtual Wallet attempt to log into the administration website from their Android phone (I have a Droid2) and tell me if it's even slightly usable?

Hisense E270BSA Sero7LT 4.1 to 4.3 update?
|
I bought a Hisense E270BSA Sero 7 LT on Woot.com. Bought it BECAUSE the description plainly stated "Operating System: Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (upgradeable to 4.3 Jelly Bean)" When I inquired about this from Woot, I got the following response. "Unfortunately, we are unable to assist with upgrading. Were you able to reach the manufacturer to verify upgrade? http://www.hisense-usa.com/support/" The manufacturer states it's a 4.1 tablet. Wondering if there is a way to upgrade the Android version on the tablet.

How to install a new language on a Malaysian TSM smartphone
|
I've just bought a Malaysian TSM 929 smartphone. Unfortunately, the android system 4.2.2 doesn't offer the Dutch language for me to select. I have tried some apps, but none are really satisfying. I've read some information about installing a new ROM to make it fully work, but since I'm completely unfamiliar with this kind of installation procedures, I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what exactly I have to do to install the Dutch language on my phone. My gratitude would be reaching the stars!

Google Voice Input special characters and symbols no longer working?
|
I use Google's default voice input all the time, for texting and navigation and searching and such. Previously, if a scenario arose when I needed to include a symbol (such as an exclamation point!) or a special case, like a smiley face ":-)", I simply said these into the voice input: text mom i love you exclamation point smiley face used to yield Text to: Mom Message: I love you! :-) now yields: Text to: Mom Message: i love you exclamation point smiley face I noticed the change after upgrading to ICS (AOKP, latest builds) but realized the issue now happens across OS usage, which I would attribute to Google's interpretation methods changing. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? I loved this feature!

How can I give my Samsung Galaxy S2, with ICS, a name?

When my Samsung Galaxy S2 ran on Gingerbread I had a unique Bluetooth name set on it to differentiate from members of my family when I wanted to receive files by Bluetooth from their devices. However, since my upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich I cannot see how to give my phone a name so that others searching for my phone by Bluetooth can find mine without others having switch theirs off to distingiush mine as the only one with its Bluetooth switched on. Can anybody help with this? Thank you for any help offered.

CyanogenMod HTC One X+ can't boot
|
# What I did so far Today I'm trying to get CyanogenMod on my HTC One X+, however I'm stuck now. I successfully unlocked my phone and the phone rebooted and everything was fine so far. Now I wanted to put "cm-10.2.1-enrc2b.zip" on my HTC, which I got from: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=enrc2b and I followed this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_enrc2b. However if I booted into recovery mode I still don't boot in ClockworkMod. I also can't select recovery, because then I will get a red exclamation mark (so I don't have a ROM backup, smart of me...). So I saw the note at the bottom of the tutorial which said "fastboot flash boot boot.img", which I did, however the only thing that has changed is that if I normally start my phone it gets stuck in showing the HTC ONE logo and just freezes there. My question is: How do I get CyanogenMod working on my phone? # Summary problems * Normal booting device stays stuck at HTC ONE logo * I don't have ClockworkMod working * I flashed kernel through "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (can't start phone normally anymore) * Not sure if "cm-10.2.1-enrc2b.zip" (enrc2b is HTC One X+) is in right location of phone. * In recovery mode I cannot select recovery (get red exclamation mark) * I can still get into recovery mode and fastboot. I'm still able to send commands through cmd (Windows) ## ClockworkMod HTC One X+ is not in the list of ClockworkMod: clockworkmod(dot)com/rommanager (Can only have 2 links) ## flash boot It seems I have to rename the _/system/recovery-from-boot.p_ (to _/system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak_ ): android.stackexchange(dot)com/questions/18932/why-isnt-clockworkmod-recovery- sticking , but I cannot use an app like Root Explorer anymore, because the device doesn't boot... ## cm-10.2.1-enrc2b.zip How do I get this file on the right location on the phone by using cmd commands? I already copied manually to the phone storage directly in the first folder when you open your phone. Not sure if this is okay? # Thanks Thanks for reading this and I really hope anyone can help me. How do I get CyanogenMod on my HTC One X+? I'm a bit desperate in what to do next now. Thanks in advance!

Does Youtube app playback not work with wifi?

Android stock mail app does not retrieve IMAP mails
|
Last week my native Android mail client stopped retrieving mail. It can still send mail. An identically configured K-9 mail app does retrieve email. The server is a dovecot mail server, both clients use the IMAP protocol. When the Android native client connects, it sends: 239 SELECT "INBOX" 240 UID SEARCH 44:68 NOT DELETED 241 NOOP 242 NOOP 243 CAPABILITY 244 LIST "" "INBOX.*" The server's reply to the UID SEARCH: * SEARCH 11201 11202 11203 11204 11205 11206 11207 11208 11209 11210 11211 11212 11213 11214 11215 11216 11217 11218 11219 11220 11221 11222 11223 11224 11225 240 OK Search completed (0.000 secs). These results look exactly like the results the K-9 app gets. Any idea why the native client does not pickup the mail? It doesn't show any mail at all.

Persistent download icon in One S pull down menu - even with download over days ago. How to remove?

In the pull down menu of my HTC One S, there is this persistent download icon, it's just stuck there even though download completed days ago. It came when I was doing some app downloads and has refused to go away even after downloads are over. On the top icon row of the phone, the animated download icon also shows, has been showing for days, even with no downloads. Rebooting does not get rid of the icons. Does anyone know how to get rid of these? Your help is appreciated. The screenshots below show the icons - icons of concern are circled in black:   Screenshots (click images for larger variants)

How is it that Rooting is always possible?
|
Having spent some time researching what actually goes behind rooting an Android phone, the main reason that leads to the ability root is an inherent vulnerability on the Linux kernel that leads to the exploit and getting the 'su' binary to be installed. My question is: How come the OS is not hardened yet? Who is responsible? This is a Linux OS we're talking about, which is considered "secure". Yet, people always find a way to get in and root devices.

Phantom device showing on Google Play
|
I was going to install an app to my device from Google Play on my desktop, when I noticed a " **No carrier Samsung GT-N7000** " in my device list:  _(the Nexus 7 is mine)_ Apparently this device is the original Galaxy Note[1]. I've never even seen one of these devices, and there shouldn't be one registered on my account. It doesn't show on Android Device Manger. Is someone else on my Play Store account, downloading apps/media on my credit card? I use 2FA, so I'm worried about how that could have happened. Is there anything I can do to find out more about this device? Thanks in advance.

ActiveSync/Exchange security policy
|
On my HTC DNA I recently changed from the integrated ActiveSync client to Touchdown. My corporate IT policy required a PIN to access the device when using the Android client. Now that I switched to Touchdown, that is set to require a PIN, so I have to enter 2 PINs to read my email. I removed my account from the Android app, but it seems to have retained the security policies. Is there a way I can reset the security policies now that the account isn't using the integrated e-mail client? \- Dave

Extracting firmware from a device for reflashing?
|
OK, so I have a Ubislate 7C+ tablet, and it's screwed up and the Wi-fi is unusable. See Tablet won't connect to any WiFi network anymore, always shows "saved" for details on the problem. I've tried everything, and I've given up on it. But I'm sure it's a software issue. Factory reset didn't fix the issue either, so I guess the last resort is for me to re-flash my device with the original firmware. The problem here is that the manufacturers (Datawind) have HORRIBLE customer care, and they don't even have any software/driver/firmware downloads for any of their devices. (see petition) So, since the stock firmware isn't available as a download... is there any way of extracting firmware from a device? I know someone with the exact same device as mine, and it's functioning perfectly. He could help me, but neither of us know any way of doing it. The idea is to basically "leech" the firmware from his device, and then re-flash my device using it. Of course, this whole thing may not even be possible, but I'm lost here. Thanks. EDIT: Ok, I just realised that a Nandroid backup would include all system data, and it's a complete system image, including the device firmware. The thing is, such a backup would be huge in size. Is there a way to specifically make a backup of just the firmware of the device or something?

Can I install takju ROM on unit with yakjuxw?
|
I bought my Galaxy Nexus a couple of months before Jelly Bean 4.2 was announced. It got updated to 4.0.4 fine, but did not find any 4.1 update at all. So I found this question which informed me of units that had ROMs updated by Samsung instead of Google for whatever reason. And my unit is of the Samsung update legacy, `yakjuxw`. Since by the time I had concrete info on this `yakju`, `takju` or whatever the 4.2 release was nearing, I decided against flashing to `yakju` 4.1.2, and resorted to camp Android's factory image download page. And then 4.2 OTA rolled out on the 13th. Only for the `takju` units that is. The download page was similarly updated. But I am running out of patience, hence the question. tl;dr refer to the title. I would like to know if there's any issues with flashing `takju` or a `yakju` device.

YouTube "can not connect to server" error on specific videos

I started the YouTube application, looked up a song, and found it. Then I tried to load the vide, but I got the error message: > can not connect to server But I can play another version of the song on my phone, both videos can be played on my computer with Flash, neither of them without Flash. This is clearly not a Flash, and not a server problem. If I go back after restarting my phone, it is the same error message for the same video. What is really the problem? How can I solve it? Is it like on a desktop browser, some videos are in Flash, some are not?

I see the words 'ln' or 'sf' overlaying the pdf and I don't know what they mean. Some I am locked in a page. I can't on the next or previous page. In adobe Reader I can't zoom in to will the width of the page. It has minimal settings. Is there a pdf reader that displays the text to the full width of the screen and locks everything so it doesn't do erratic stuff?

Is rooting 4.2.2 really this complicated?
|
On 4.2 (or was it 4.1?) it was really just a few keypresses in the Nexus 4 Toolkit, or downloading a simple app. With the current version 4.2.2 however, rooting has become a huge task, apparently. I've been trying to root my Nexus 4 (running 4.2.2) but the Nexus 4 Toolkit says it's `offline`. From my searches it turns out that 4.2.2 has extra "security" that makes this harder than it used to be. I'm not a developer but there's something about telling my phone that the PC that wants to root it is trusted. I found this 14-step guide in which I am asked to install a developer toolkit, install Eclipse, and a few other things. My impression is that this is like shooting sparrows with cannonballs. **Is it really this difficult, or am I totally missing the goal here?**

How to flash a custom recovery with heimdall (without touching the main system)?
|
The first recommended step in the installation of CyanogenMod on Samsung Galaxy S is flashing a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or the one from Replicant with a command like: heimdall flash --kernel path/to/recovery.img Now I feel that the instructions might be misleading: I have done the first step wanting just to have a custom recovery mode, without proceeding to replacing the main OS on the device. It seems I have done that wrong, because the device now always boots into the recovery mode. What would be the correct heimdall command to just install a custom recovery system without touching the main system?

Android 4.2 Nexus 7 Update "Assert failed: apply_patch_check()"

When I try to update my Nexus 7 from 4.1 (Jelly Bean) to 4.2 (also Jelly Bean) it works fine up to a point where the little android (with the rotating shape) lays down and has a red warning triangle with an exclamation point. When I press the power and VolUp buttons simultaneously to see what went wrong, the log shows this: Verifying current system Assert failed: apply_patch_check("EMMC:/dev/block/platform/sdhci- tegra.3/by-name/LNX:5013504:c48f8e86e73fb2c2ba1794f5ec98e27c9e206ed5: 5060608:319331fae14fec8a88063751475fce26bae328e0") I searched for the error message online and couldn't find anyone with the same problem. I even removed the random letters and numbers after "by-name" (I assume these are device-specific), and still found nothing. I also tried factory resetting and still the same problem. I'd like to know what went wrong, and how to fix it.

Transfer a file from Android to a PC (not in the same network)

If I were connected by wifi in my network, there isn't any problem because with AirDroid I can access the sdcard files using the browser. However when I am out, how can I transfer a file from my phone to my PC? I can access my PC using SSH, but then from the PC I can't access the phone for get file using SCP. I guess the question is: Is there any app that allow do such action? I think the only possible thing is install a SSH server in the phone, isn't it? Any free (from Google Play) app? I've seen AndFTP but it only allows ftp in its free version.

can't find apps on sd card after root

I just took the plunge and rooted my HTC incredible 2 to ICS 4.0.4 with Psycho's CM 9.1. I am happy so far but I don't know how to retrieve the apps I have saved on my SD card. Prior to performing a root, I used app2sd pro to move them. Now after root they don't show up on SD card. I re-installed app2sd pro and still can't find them. I know they are there because file manager says there is 14GB of used space. I could re-download everything but I would like to avoid that. Any help for a noob would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Can I flash another modem firmware from a CWM recovery (and not touch the main installed OS otherwise)?

On a Samsung Galaxy S, I followed the complete instructions for installing CyanogenMod 10, and now I have CM10 as the main system, and a ClockWorkMod- based recovery system (from Replicant), which is bootable by holding VolUp and VolDown when powering up the device.

If I store .zip with another modem firmware (a radio image from the list at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783) on /sdcard/, can I flash it from the recovery mode (so that the main system will be not touched otherwise and will work as before)?

Is it possible to turn an Android tablet on or off over a wired connection such as USB?

I'm looking to use an Android tablet as a carputer, yet one problem I have is how to get the tablet to turn on and off when I turn my car on and off. With most carputers people will use special automotive power supplies to solve this problem. What I want to know is if there is any way I can simulate pressing the power button, but through one of the wired interfaces such as the USB connection? Or would my only option be to open up whatever tablet use up and solder extension leads to the power button contacts, and then figure out some way to simulate a power button press when my car starts?

How to block a person's number and send automatic responses to its call/text attempts?
|
I want to put someone on a blacklist so I can't see when he calls me or what messages he sends to me. _This is the easy part_. But I also want some custom text messages to be automatically sent to him if he tries to call/text me, like "Leimi put you on his blacklist, you really should stop trying". _This is the not so easy part?_ Do you know if this is possible by default in recent Android versions, via an application or even a custom ROM? Thanks.

How does the emulator get connected to the internet?
|
I want to know the secret behind how my emulator gets connected to the internet. No matter whether I connect my netbook to the internet through wireless, wired or mobile broadband connection, my emulator does not indicate what type is my connection to the internet. It shows bars just like in phones/tablets to indicate the signal strength (as though a sim has been inserted!) in the notification area on the top edge. The emulator (gingerbread) is not connected to wi-fi. (I don't recall whether it does not have a wi-fi enabling option or just that I haven't enabled it) So there is no icon next to the time display near the right top corner showing that I'm connected to wi-fi! Yet it gets wi-fi internet on the emulator when I online via wi-fi! I find this curious. So I want to know what's behind the scenes. For instance is there some communication between the hardware network driver and the emulator network driver by any chance?

Do I have any chance to recover this video?
|
Using Samsung Galaxy ACE s5830 Android 2.3.6 Well I made a mistake. I was recording an important video with my smartphone (the default video recorder) and then I put the cellphone close to my chest. I noticed later that the video stopped but i thought it was saved. seems like somehow the jacket touched a cancel button (not delete) and then ok. odd but it happened. now i dont find the video. My question is if anyone knows if i have any chance to recover the video from a place in the SD memory, probaly using an forensic tool to recover deleted files. I mean if the data was being created somewhere in a temp file until its done, It could be recovered but as this is android i dont have idea. The video was important so I'll try anything. NOTE: checking in windows, it shows the modification date in the folder DCIM\Camera, corresponding to the moment i was recording. So at least there was access to that specific folder. thanks

How to find how many hours an Android phone has been used?

I want to know if there is a method that can tell me how many hours an Android phone has been used. Just like we have cheat codes that we used for Nokia phones; they tell us the hours (regardless of factory reset). Any alternate for Android?

Get offline maps in new Google Maps
|
Google Maps was updated last night (9-July-2013 v7.0.0). While there's a lot they added, one thing they _removed_ was the ability to cache maps offline. I relied on that functionality in poor-coverage areas. Is there anything I can do?

Trying to root Motorola Xoom. Stuck rebooting
|
I am rooting my Motorola Xoom wifi tablet following these instructions: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/02/25/how-to-root-the-motorola-xoom/ I unlocked the bootloader fine. And I got to this point: 1. Type: adb reboot bootloader 2. Type: fastboot flash boot rootboot.img 3. Type: fastboot reboot 4. Wait for your device to reboot all the way. Except it never rebooted all the way. It is stuck on a black screen with a red M motorola logo and the words Dual Core Technology. Its been about 20 minutes or so now. Should it be taking this long? and if not how can a make it to try rebooting again?

Does it keep streaming through mobile data or does it switch to wireless? Or is this something that's different across different applications. My phone is a Galaxy S3, running Jellybean stock.

HTC One display problem
|
I've bought this HTC One from one guy who had to change the display on it. It works fine but display has one problem. It has very high brightness and some buttons, icons and so on does not have the edges visible. I tried to download some applications to lower the brightness but I haven't found one that worked perfectly. Some of these applications lowered the brightness and the situation got a little better but I couldn't set the brightness low enough with them. I would like to ask if there is some way how to set the brightness or contrast manually via terminal in the operating system or this problem is more likely caused by bad display. Thanks very much for your answers (P.S.: I tried several Android ROMs, but no change occured). Here is a photo of the display how it looks like (e.g. the black color is not black but silver. There are almost no visible circles around the ticks on the right side):  Photo of the screen (click image for larger variant)

Best Practise for deploying a 'clone' image across 200 android tablets (Samsung GT-P7510)
|
My objective is to be able to create a master 'image' of an android tablet, and then duplicate that image across about 200 identical tablets to streamline the administration of a university's pool of loan tablets (e.g. to roll out updated/new apps, to 'clean' them when they are returned, etc.) What would be the best way to do that? (I've seen a number of posts around the subject, using nandroid backup, adb, zen toolkit, and so forth, but all rather old and nothing definitive) * Currently the tablets are Samsung Galaxy 10.1 (GT-P7510) running stock Android 4.0.4 - but it'd be nice to have a procedure that ought to work if these are replaced by some other tablets. * The tablets aren't currently rooted, but could be if that made things much easier. It'd have to be a real advantage, though, as that might compromise the warranties on future new stocks of tablets. * These tablets don't have external SD storage, but it'd be great to have a process that would re-initialise ALL aspects of a tablet, even if it did have external (or ancillary internal) SD storage. * I'd ideally like to create/document a procedure that someone in basic first-line tech support could follow. * If it could avoid having to buy 200 paid app licenses, then that'd be great too :) I'd appreciate any pointers you folks could give on how best to do this: I would imagine with android tablets becoming much more popular over the past year, that there must be corporations, education establishments and the like doing this...

SGS2 screen gets more and more dark blue, possibly after overheated charging
|
My phone screen is gradually becoming dark blue and then black--see photo. Started with a single light blueish edge, and growing during the last hours to what can be seen on photo.  The only serious reason that I could think of is that the phone has recently overheated while charging: it stayed for several hours under the pillow, and it was very hot when I took it away from there. Another guess is a recent drop on the floor, but in its 2-years lifetime it dropped dozens of time, frequently much harder than today. What could be the reason, and how it can be fixed, ideally DIY or at all? It's Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100.

How can I install pure android and get rid of bloatware?
|
I am new here and already posted question on one of the google group, I am curious to know few things regarding android OS. I have Micromax Canvas HD 116 with Android 4.2.2 installed on it. What I hate is the unnecessary software offered by them, which is not occupying only space but also RAM and affecting speed of device. I just want to get rid of those bloatwares somehow.. I know if I follow some good rooting procedure, I can achieve it.. but is there any way, or official way so that I can manually re- install original pure android OS in my device. I would be very much obliged if someone would provide some good resource about it.. and which is applicable to any device. Thanks

Why does my phone have no data connection when roaming?
|
My mobile carrier in the US (Sprint) provides free domestic roaming for data and calls. However, whenever I am roaming, I have no data connection (in-bound and out-bound calls work fine). I am using a Samsung Galaxy S3 with CyanogenMod. The signal indicator often shows several bars with an "R", but the bars are always grey (not connected). Under Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks I have "Data enabled", "Data roaming" and "National data roaming" all checked. Is there something else I should be looking at to figure out why I can never use data roaming?

What is the file location of the sound files used in the Google Now application
|
I am trying to find the audio file that is played immediately after you manually start audio input via tapping the round microphone button on the search line of the Google Now application or saying "OK Google Now". I find it kind of odd that the speech recognition extension for Chrome is still in its beta stage while the Android application is so polished but case in point, the sound file used for the extension is obnoxious. Not only is it three times as loud as every other desktop notification sound and genuinely painful to listen to with headphones but it plays every time you open a tab containing the google search engine. It'd be one thing if I could just drop the playback volume on Chrome through the audio control panel but I usually use Google Music for audio playback. Anyway, I found the irritating mp3 reference in the code for the extension and I was hoping to copy and download the one used in Google Now from my phone to my laptop, move it to the Background.html folder and replace the reference with the mp3 that I want. Either the location of the file within Android or the actual name of the audio file used would be great; if I can't find it through the file explorer, being able to find it online is just as good but so far I haven't had much luck.

Is flashing a new ROM enough after phone was stolen?
|
A friend of mine had his Samsung Galaxy S 2 stolen and returned some 20 minutes later after he talked to the pickpocket and tried to play her guilty consciousness. USB debugging was active when I checked with the old ROM, so I assume that everything was possible. The bootloaded was already unlocked, but the phone was not rooted, as far as I can tell. I flashed Clockwork Mod Recovery and then Cyanogen Mod onto the phone, and formatted the external SD card with `mkfs.vfat` on Linux. Is that enough to get any malware off the phone?

This is the solution I am currently using 1. select the word 2. copy to clipboard 3. switch to a dictionary app 4. paste the word and read the definition 5. switch back to my original app I have to do this often, and this is quite inconvenient. Is there a more direct way to access word definitions when offline? * * *

minimum in call volume on lg g2 and samsung s4 too high using headphones

I have tried the Apple and Klipsch earbuds with LG G2 and Samsung S4, however, both phones have a minimum _in-call_ volume that is still excessively loud for me. What are some possible solutions? This is not the case when using an iPhone. I saw Minimum volume is too high with headphones suggested getting an inline volume control. Will this only work for music or phone calls as well? I have tried equalizer apps like Fine Volume Control but these work only for media and not in-call volume, which is my main issue.

GNex factory reset apparently doesn't write anything and I'm not able to update

my gnex (maguro) started rebooting frequently (like every 30 seconds). I hope is not an hardware fault and now I'm trying to restore a factory image so I can rule out any custom rom-derived problems. I'm trying to flash yakju-jwr66y the problem is when I flash the bootloader and radio everyithing is ok but when it reboots to install the rest of the system the bootloader and radio are still not updated! If I try to update manually the bootloader this is what I get: Code: wax@pasifae:~/Scaricati/yakju-jwr66y (2)$ fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primemd04.img sending 'bootloader' (2308 KB)...

How do I clear out some information recorded in Google accounts?
|
I have a phone that is running Android. I have several Gmail accounts setup on the phone, many of which belong to my family members who are computer illiterate while a couple of the accounts are my own. The only reason I have those accounts on my phone is to teach my family how to use email on their phones, which I am going to get them shortly. Today I noticed for the first time that every one of those Gmail accounts record my mobile device under the "Android device" section of the dashboard. Every Gmail account has the rest of the accounts recorded. The market info too is common to all. Furthermore, they all show the same IMEI. That is plain wrong. I tried removing all the accounts except my own from my phone but the information recorded still persists. Is it going to be updated after some time when the server cache is cleared? If not, how can I correct this?

Broken Screen + Using adb shell to run vnc server
|
I have an HTC HD2 with a completely busted screen, I tried repairing it with a replacement screen but broke the ribbon cable to the screen (oops) sad day, I've got two of these and I've been running them as servers and ipcam cameras. I started using `qtadb`, which did work on my phone despite a broken screen. I installed droid VNC Server beta using the file manager on qtadb. I grabbed the app's manifest: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest android:versionCode="52" android:versionName="0.991" package="org.onaips.vnc" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" /> <application android:label="droid VNC server" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:name="MainApplication" android:debuggable="false"> <activity android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:name=".MainActivity" android:launchMode="singleInstance"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:label="Preferences" android:name="preferences" /> <meta-data android:name="com.mobclix.APPLICATION_ID" android:value="1F34160B-63BB-4854-BDB7-D46B7EADBF06" /> <activity android:name="com.mobclix.android.sdk.MobclixBrowserActivity" /> <service android:name="StartAtBootService"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="org.onaips.vnc.StartAtBootService" /> </intent-filter> </service> <receiver android:name="StartAtBootServiceReceiver"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> <service android:name="avncservice" /> </application> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_SUPERUSER" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_TASKS" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" /> </manifest> and I have tried several things to start and run the service using the console on qtadb. I have tried running: am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n org.onaips.vnc/com.mobclix.android.sdk.MobclixBrowserActivity am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n org.onaips.vnc/org.onaips.vnc.MainActivity am start -n org.onaips.vnc/com.mobclix.android.sdk.MobclixBrowserActivity am start -n org.onaips.vnc/org.onaips.vnc.MainActivity am startservice -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n org.onaips.vnc/com.mobclix.android.sdk.MobclixBrowserActivity am startservice -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n org.onaips.vnc/org.onaips.vnc.MainActivity etc.... I test each time by NMAPing my device's ip address, no new ports show up. (I don't have a firewall) But on a working phone, it doesn't start when you run the app; it starts when you press the run button. So How do I press the run button with a broken screen? I just need vnc server to run so i can actually do some config things to run debian and my video server on it.

How to set bash as default shell?
|
When I adb into a device with Cyanogenmod, I'm presented with a nice bash shell, color prompt, and bashrc. I don't see a symlink from /system/xbin/bash to /system/bin/sh. How do they set the default shell to bash instead of sh? I looked through rc files, but didn't find anything. I'd like to do the same on my Android build, which isn't Cyanogenmod. **Update** After re-installing from scratch with CM7, I'm taken to sh instead of bash. Now the question is how to set bash as default.

stock sms client creates multiple threads for the same number
|
Running the default android SMS application, multiple threads get created for the same number. This is how it started: I was visiting a foreign country, I got a legit sms from the service provider (smartone in Hong Kong) suggesting that I could get cheaper calls by dialing *131*001 followed by country code and number. I tried it on an sms to see if it would work. It didn't but from then on the sms app started two threads, in a seemingly random way: most of the received sms are listed under a number starting with *131*001 that I cannot reply to. In the process all the past sms conversations were "captured" and listed under that number. To send sms I had to start a new thread with the same number but without *131*001. This is what I tried: first, I added *131*001etc as an additional number for my contact, hoping that the threads would be merged. But it did nothing. Secondly, after reading some, I used SMSBackupAndRestore to save the sms and modify the resulting xml file. I noticed one difference between the sms in the two different threads, namely, a difference in the service_center, for instance service_center="+852161645501" for the sms listed as *131*001etc and service_center="null" for the properly listed sms. So I replaced every instance of service_center="+852161645501" (numbers varied) with service_center="null". I then reloaded the modified xml file using SMSBackupAndRestore. Before the "fix" just described, I had about 2,000 messages listed under *131*001etc and about 5 or 6 listed under the correct number. After the "fix", I had two more or less evenly split lists, of about 1,000 messages each. Plus a third list got created with 2 messages in it. As I was doing this, it occurred to me that SMSBackupAndRestore only saves the text of the sms, not the pictures and other attachments. Yet, the pictures and attachments were showing up after applying the "fix", showing that the sms had not really been deleted, merely taken off the directory and upon being re- loaded the android sms app would "recognize" the messages and re-load the pictures and attachments. This means that there is a folder somewhere with the history of my sms. And the android sms app is using information stored there to recreate the *131*001etc thread that I'm trying to delete. I wanted to delete all the cache. I couldn't find it by browsing (I'm using Windows 7), so I downloaded some apps to help me, two apps named 1tap cleaner, both worked in a similar way and deleted cache, but obviously not the cache I want to delete since it hasn't solved anything. I have deleted all the sms, but double threads listed as *131*001etc still happen with the new messages. Plus now I can't even add a picture to my contacts (when I "edit" the contact, I can only edit the name and number, nothing else)... Handcent hasn't helped. Any suggestions on how to get out of this nightmare? many thanks.

How do I prevent auto-mounting of ext2 partition on OSX?
|
I've created a 512Mb partition on my HTC Desire's (running LeeDroid) SD card to store apps. When I used Windows, I'd never had a problem with this partition becoming read-only, unreadable or corrupted. Since I switched to a Mac, this partition got corrupted several times. Somehow, I thought it was LeeDroid's fault, and didn't blame it on the Mac. I installed Cyanogenmod on the Desire to overcome this problem, but the ext2 partition on the card still kept getting corrupted. I read on the Cyanogen's forums that Linux and OSX automatically mount the ext2 partition when the phone is plugged in, causing the partition to become corrupted, and then this made sense. Question: Is is possible to prevent OSX from automatically mounting the ext2 partition on Android phone's SD card?

Using Swype, or a Swype-like keyboard, is there a way to type without lifting my finger up?
|
Swype is great, but I feel like it could be even faster/more fluid if you just dragged your finger over the space bar/performed some other gesture to insert a space between words, rather than having to pick up your finger. Is there any way to add functionality like this to Swype? Alternatively, are there any good gesture-based keyboards that support this?

App download from own server shows unknown resource, How to make it trusted one
|
May be I am asking discussion related question, I am sorry if you feel it wrong, but I am really stuck while deciding what to do. For first time app Installation I have to give Download link for users from My own server because users don't have access to other Internet (also play store). I have uploaded app to my own server and gave download link to other users from there. Now while installing that from that location gives warning that it is from untrusted location and ask to change the setting and tick unknown location. maybe because I haven't signed this app with play store. Now, If I sign it with play store key and upload it to app store also, but for first time If I give same app download from my server, will it give same warning ? Or else what things I can do to remove that warning while downloading from my own server. Any other ways of dealing with this scenario will be helpful.

I was flashing the Lenovo A1 ideapad tablet following the steps here : http://www.artiss.co.uk/2012/04/installing-cyanogenmod-on-a-lenovo-ideapad-a1 , and I was able to flash the clockwork Mod (and I did a nandroid backup), and then modified bootloader, but after flashing the CM7 , all I would see was the lenovo logo on boot. I was still able to go boot into recovery, so I tried to restore from the earlier mentioned backup, nothing, and the fastboot was not working anymore (modifed bootloader), so I reinstalled it from clockwork, and the A1 died. Now it won't show any signs of life, except when I plug it into the computer, I would hear the USB ding (device connect )sound, and then 2 seconds, I hear the USB duh-ding (device disconnected) sound. The charge LED doesn't light on when plugged in, Here's what I tried so far (And I ran out of ideas ) : \- Hold the power button for 45 seconds (tried 60, and 120 as well), and then tried to power on \- All other possible button combinations \- One forum mentioned to touch the home button while holding the power button down \- Putting an update.zip on a micro SD , and boot with holding (volume - and power ) \- Disconnected and reconnected the battery pack. \- left it overnight (as others recommended until the battery dies, but I can't tell whether the battery was fully drained)

Accounts inexplicably removed from "Accounts & sync"
|
I'm running CyanogenMod 7.1.0 on my HTC Desire. I have a few accounts added in "Accounts & Sync" (Last.fm, Facebook, Skype, Soundcloud, etc.), but on several occasions all of them (except Google) got deleted, and I had to log in again in all of them using the respective applications. This could be quite annoying, but fortunately happens only every few days or so. I can't quite understand why it happens and what causes it. I have some suspicion it might be related to the fact I don't have much space on the device (Desire notoriously has ridiculously little internal storage) -- although I always keep it above the "Low space" warning (which is something like 15 MB). Is this a known problem? What can I do to prevent it?

Why does the preview image for my FFC look sharper than the actual captured image?
|
I feel this has been a problem on my Sprint Galaxy S3. The preview looks very crisp but when I actually take picture it becomes faded and bit blurry. I know it's not motion from the tapping the button because it does not do it remains clear if I take a screenshot of the preview which is more shaky than just pressing the screen. I took a picture and a screenshot of the picture to show what I am talking about:   Preview / Captured image (click images for larger variants) In the preview you can clearly see the texture of my shirt and the freckles on my face while on the captured image it is just a solid blur.

Arabic support for my Android device
|
I've got a new phone (Samsung galaxy SII) with Android 4 on it. I would like to be able to add Arabic support on it. Is there a simple way to do so ? I'm a newbie with Android related subjects, so I'm not able to handle complicated processes.

How can I take a screenshot of a specific portion of my screen?
|
There is no screenshot by area on my Galaxy Tab 8.9, running Android 3.1. Is there any software that adds the ability to take a screenshot of only a portion of my screen rather than the whole area?

Stop from Samsung Galaxy S4 turning on when receiving text message
|
**Summary** : Is there a way to stop the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen from turning on when receiving text messages (without disabling the notification light)? **Details** : I've got a Samsung Galaxy S4 on Verizon. I've noticed that sometimes when it's in my pocket that it will turn on and access apps, etc. (for example one time I saw it had posted something to Facebook). I think that the problem is when I receive a text message that the phone turns on and then from there the touch screen might do whatever it wants. The reason I think the phone screen turns on when I receive a text message is I've noticed that happen sometimes. So really what I want to do is prevent the phone from turning on in my pocket, but I don't think that is an actual option. But I thought there should be a way to stop incoming text messages from turning on the screen, while still allowing the notification light to flash. But I haven't found an option that does that.
