28841 | Galaxy Note 4.0.4 upgrade failure | My Samsung Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) currently has 4.0.3 installed. It has let me know it has the upgrade for 4.0.4 but every time I run it, it fails.

28844 | Google Voice Number Displayed on Phone? | I have Google Voice on my Android (4.0.4 Samsung Galaxy S3) and it is set to make all calls using GV (cause I want the user to see GV number on the caller ID). However I encounter this problem: the number that appears on my mobile phone (when dialing out using GV) is some unknown (random?) number, not the number that I'm calling. Say I'm calling 212-333-4444 it shows 617-234-1234. It is in fact calling the right number but what shows is the number that GV is using. The problem is that when I look at the log I can't see who was called nor can I try to recall that number. |
28848 | How active should I expect my Jelly Bean system log file to be? | When using aLogcat to view my Android log files, I find very few messages showing up in any of the views. Selecting Verbose level and no filter, I see that _Main_ contains mostly garbage collection debug and info messages, but I rarely more than about 20 messages every minute. _Events_ mostly contains info log messages from alogcat itself, at about the same rate, while _Radio_ remains steadfastly empty. Being relatively new to Android, I wonder whether this is normal. Is this rate typical of the main system log file on Jelly Bean? |
8084 | How do I stop apps from getting killed while sleeping? | I have a Droid 2. I have a long, resource-intensive game (spectral souls) that I would like to leave running while I'm not using my phone. If I hit the Android "Home" button to get back to the home screen and then immediately re- launch the game, it will be right where I left off. Same if I hit the power button to sleep, and then immediately turn on the phone, unlock, and re-launch the game. If I leave it for some amount of time (a few hours), then when I come back and launch the game, it starts fresh as if it were never running. The phone hasn't been used for anything in the meantime, although syncing is on. My question is twofold: how can I get more information about what apps are killed when & why, and how can I set it up to allow this app to continue running? I don't need it to DO anything in the background, I just want it to still be there when I come back. I'm familiar with the concept of Android clearing memory as it's needed and not needing a task killer, but I want it to not kill THIS task unless I really exit it. |

601 | how be woken up by receiving a text message with an Android phone? | I am on call sometimes, and get sms and email from our systems. I need to be woken up by them, but right now, that isn't happening. I use Locale, and the Locale "Inbound SMS" Plug-in, but that does not seem to be working yet (with a test account, it does not go full loud and alt ring tone). The sender is an email to sms gateway that is unique to this and always the same, the messages start with the same words. I would like it to do something like have a song starts playing loudly. It would also be nice if it sanely handled getting 200 pages in 10 min (probably just disable Locale). Android 1.6 on at T-Mobile G1. I could root it if need be, but really rather not. Any tips or thoughts? |

65765 | Truly hands-free voice recording over bluetooth | I know that there are lots of "voice recorder" apps out there. Some of them will let you record using your bluetooth headset instead of the built-in mic. However, all the ones I have looked at say things like "tap the button to start recording". This defeats the purpose of what I am trying to do, which is to record thoughts I have while I am out and about walking, biking, driving, etc. when I can reach up and hit a button on my bluetooth phone, but I am not able to stop, pull my phone out of wherever I have it stashed, take off my gloves so I can touch the screen, power up the device, enter my lock code, jump to the record app if needed, and tap to start recording. By the time I have done that I have lost my train of thought, and wasted a lot of time. Voice activated recording is probably not going to work, because, even though my headset has some degree of wind cancellation, there is a lot of ambient noise from time to time. I can use voice commands, which is still a bit of a pain but at least keeps me mostly hands free, that is, I can tap the button on my headset, say "activate" and my headset will connect to the phone and bring up voice commands. However, I am not sure what I would do next. The commands offered are things like "Go To << Shortcut >>", and "Check << Item >>" - these are the only two that seems remotely related to what I am trying to do. I assume that maybe if I said something like "Go To Voice Recorder" it might open up the voice recorder, but I couldn't get it to work and am not sure what it expects for << Shortcut >>. Even then, assuming that part would work, I would need to have some way of telling the app to start recording, for instance, if the shortcut was not just the app but a full-blown intent. I am not sure how I would set that up. There is also the question of how to stop it, but hopefully hitting the headset button again would work as that already as a similar function while on a phone call. Am I on the right track here? Is there some kind of app that will help me out here? One thing I don't understand is, does the app have to explicitly support bluetooth audio for this to work? I would think the OS (Android) would abstract away the input source, yet some apps explicitly claim Bluetooth support (even going so far as to only support it in the for-pay version) while others don't say anything about it. |

1852 | Touchscreen Protector and Sensitivity | I have Samsung Spica I5700 that have capacitive touchscreen, and I used a touchscreen protector. Recently, I've noticed that the touchscreen often produces erratic movements, for example, if I put my still finger on the screen, the "cursor" will shake vigorously (sometimes very far off). This makes the touchscreen very unusable; countless of times I've accidentally flinged the page when scrolling, while touching the screen for small scrolling; countless of times, the screen registered scrolling as a zooming or unzooming; and worse, it often flings to the wrong direction from my swiping direction (indicating a random erratic sensing). Sometimes, when I tried to touch a button/link on the top-left, the screen will detect a click in some other far away button (i.e. one **not** under my finger). Any games that uses touch intensively also becomes unplayable. Could this be caused by the screen protector? Since capacitive touchscreen is operated by soft surface of a finger (instead of a pointy stylus), is there any noticeable benefit of using screen protector? or are they just a waste of time and money? do you think peeling off the protector will have a chance of fixing those problems? |

61540 | self-signed certificate install claims success, but android acts as if cert isn't there | I am trying to install the self-signed certificate for my web server in Android 4.3. I have the .crt file in the root of the SD card (which is actually emulated as I have no SD card in the slot). To install the certificate I go to Setting -> General -> Security -> Credential Storage -> Install from device storage. I get a dialog box showing the name of the certificate (the filename minus the .crt extension) which I can modify (but don't), a "used for" pull down with "VPN and apps" selected and text at the bottom of the dialog which informs "Package contains: one user certificate". Everything looks okay, so I click "Ok". The dialog goes away and a toast message pops up with "[name] installed". However if I immediately go to "Trusted credentials and select "User" there is nothing there! The new cert is also not under "System" but I would not expect it there. If I go to a browser after this and try going to my web site, I still get the warning that the site's certificate is not trusted. I have also tried rebooting, but it doesn't make a difference. What am I doing wrong? The complete lack of error messages isn't helpful. Is it possible my certificate is in the wrong format? I have tried using the .crt file in the server's ssl directory and I have tried converting it to DER format. Update: I read somewhere that Android requires certificates to be in p12 format, so I converted the Apache2 certificate to p12 using the following command: openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey server.key -in server.crt -out ~/server.p12 I then repeated the above steps, got the same success message, and then proceeded to still not see the certificate in the user credentials and I still get the untrusted certificate error from the mobile browser. |

When I hold the `E` key, a popup shows with symbols with accents. I want to change the `Ê` option to a `€`. How can I get this done?  |
43619 | Uninstalling app from specific device only | Is there a way to remove an app from only one device when using the same account over two devices? I've just got a tablet - which is currently syncing settings and downloading all the apps that I have obtained from the market on my phone. I won't need all these apps and would like to remove some from just the tablet (but leave them available for restore on the phone etc). Is this possible? Does the phone have an independent "installed app" list to the tablet? Thanks. |
39548 | Red notification light on Nexus 4, won't power on, device unresponsive | This morning my Nexus 4 wouldn't turn on, so I plugged it in, but the white battery recharging icon doesn't show up when I press Power, and holding Power doesn't turn on the phone. Instead the notification light blinks a deep red. The screen was totally unresponsive. Lots of websites have plenty of doom and gloom hinting that red light = device is bricked, but I see no official source for this. What does this light mean? |

36912 | What would it take to turn my Android phone into a full-fledged TV gaming console? | I recently found an app called DroidEmu which basically lets me play any GBA, GBC, GameGear, Genesis, Nes, or Snes game I want on my phone. I also discovered a way to connect PS3 controllers to my device so I can play those games with a physical controller. This got me thinking; what would it take to turn my Android phone into a full- fledged TV-based gaming console? Is that even feasible right now? I know that's its fairly easy to connect Android devices to TVs using an HDMI adapter so that shouldn't be a problem, but what about native Android games that work with a controller, are there many of those? If so, are there any that support split-screen gaming with multiple controllers or online/lan-based multiplayer? What are the chances of this situation improving in the near future? |

58347 | How to automatically send an SMS if a call is missed? | Due to a busy schedule, missed call are a constant, and many times the person calling insists on keep calling until I answer. The ideia is to automatically send an SMS with a pre-defined message to let the caller know that I'm on the phone or otherwise busy, and that I will be returning the call as soon as possible. So, how can I send an automatic SMS for missed calls? |

54641 | How to make incoming SIP calls work on Android 4.x? | I have a SIP account which I entered into the "Internet Call Settings" of the native android phone app. I am able to place outgoing SIP calls, but no luck with the incoming ones. I am new to the SIP subject, so I was wondering what I am missing and a description how incoming SIP works would be a plus! **Info:** * Phone: Nexus 4 * OS: Android 4.3 * SIP Provider: didlogic (sip.didlogic.net) * Google voice account: available Feel free to ask for more info. I want to figure this thing out. **EDIT:** I am on t-mobile $30 unlimited data and text plan, in case it makes any difference, but it still does not work when im at home on wi-fi. **EDIT 2:** Let me ask this: How does the inbound SIP work? Does the phone or wi-fy needs to constantly listen for a signal at the port 5060 or is the phone does a simple alike keep-alive connection with the SIP server in the background? |

68682 | Recovery Mode: Backup options not showing | I want to put a custom ROM on my LG G2. I have successfully applied root permissions using IORoot v25. However I am unable to create a backup of the stock ROM. I have tried several ways using the `ROM Manager` app (v5.5.37): 1. Go to `ROM Manager > Recovery Setup > [Install or Update] ClockwordModrecovery`. Then tap `Reboot into Recovery`. The phone reboots into the recovery menu, but no options to back up are listed. (So I choose option to reboot). 2. With CWM Recovery still set, I tap "Backup Current ROM" (underneath it says the backup directory will be `/mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup`. Again, it boots into the recovery menu without any backup options so I select reboot. Yet nothing appears in the `/mnt/shell directory`. 3. Configure ROM Manager to use `TWRP recovery`. Then in ROM Manager, tap option to go to recovery mode. Yet again, no backup options are listed, so yet again I choose option to reboot. 4. With TWRP Recovery still set, I tap "Backup Current ROM" (underneath it says the backup directory will be `/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/0225b99d9a5159f0`. Surprise surprise, no backup options, and no directory `/sdcard/TWRP`. What am I doing wrong? From what I understand, what I am seeing is the "stock" recovery [program/menu], and neither the TWRP nor the CWM recovery menus are showing. Perhaps they're failing to install, or failing to be run or something? The logs in the app `SuperSU` which handles root requests do not give any hints - I can find no mention of CWM or TWRP recovery. |

48708 | Auto-sync data turns itself off randomly | On my Nexus 4, sync turns itself off randomly. Almost once a day, the option **Settings > Data usage > Auto-sync data** gets silently unchecked. My Nexus 4 is brand new, and I have not installed any apps that I think would interfere with system settings. This is very annoying because I cannot rely on sync at all; I frequently miss important emails etc. Manual syncing is not an option. |
48709 | Read phone state and identity | I've looked at many (not all) of the dozens of links here. Is there a list that explains the risks involved with each granted application permission type? Most of these are not worth the time to read and just regurgitate using the same vague, indeterminate descriptions already used by the phone. I've googled for specifics, but can find no detailed information on this privacy warning. Please don't reply with generic blog articles and endless lists of links. _**I'm looking for one hard core detailed reference on this warning:_** # Read phone state and identity Here's what mine says: 1. Allows the application to access the phone features of the device... What specifically is a "phone feature" and what is not? Is wifi a phone feature, text message stack, etc 2. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone... Right. This is clear. 3. Whether a call is active... Understood. 4. The number that the call is connected to... Is this giving the company permission to spy on my friends? 5. and the like... Yep, it really says this. Please define "the like". Obviously #1, #4 and #5 are the things that concern me - the language of this warning says that the game developer gets access to all the identity information of anyone who calls you... And the like. Therefore, to me, it clearly says you are exposing yourself and your contacts to spammers and worse. And it looks like the app can scoop up your contacts whether you are playing the game or not. In other words, unless you are willing to give the developer the identities/contact info of anyone who calls you (or you call), subjecting them to spam or worse, you should not d/l the app. Correct? |
