23103 | Does Ice Cream Sandwich support native screen capture? | I understand that earlier versions of Android do not support a native screen capture feature, unless provided by the specific device, or you have a rooted device, or you have the Android SDK and link via USB. However, I have read that ICS should support a native screen capture, but the suggested `volume down` \+ `power` combo in that article does not work for me. I have also tried `home` \+ `power`, as seems to work on other devices, but that does not work for me either. The official Android Developers site for 4.0.x states that this should be possible, but doesn't say specifically how... > **Sharing with screenshots** > > Users can now share what's on their screens more easily by taking > screenshots. Hardware buttons let them snap a screenshot and store it > locally. Afterward, they can view, edit, and share the screen shot in > Gallery or a similar app. I have a generic (DGM T-703) 7 inch tablet with ICS (Version 4.0.3) |
23102 | Remove Facebook and Gmail contacts | Some time ago I have synced my Facebook contacts (using Facebook for Android app) with my contacts. I also have my Gmail account synchronized. Having all those contacts is too much. I went to `Account and synchronization` and turned off Facebook synchronization. Also in Google account I unchecked the `Synchronize contacts` box (however I still synchronize Gmail, Picasa, Calender and Google Reader). Now the contacts are not in my contact list, but when I want to send SMS, I still have to browse trough all Gmail, Facebook and local contacts. That's too many entries and it's hard to find the right number. **How to get rid of Gmail and Facebook contacts completely?** Also, when I go to `Dialer`, all my Facebook friends, who shared their phone numbers, appear there. **How to remove those entries also?** I'm using Android 2.3.5 |
345 | How do you link to applications in the Android market? | When posting app links, I'm always using a link on Cyrket or AppBrain -- becuase I can't get a link to anything in the official Android Market. But I have seen some links out there for use w/ Android itself ( ''market://'' protocol ): market://details?id=de.schildbach.oeffi (as seen @ Android Dev Studio) Is it possible to web-link to apps in the Market so that a non-Android user can link to the appropriate Market page in a non-Android web browser? |
23106 | What determines power management policies in Android? | I am just approaching to the Smart Phone and Android world and have a couple of doubts: > Which modules (and SW or FW?) decide the policies with which power is given > to any component of the Smart Phone that requires it? furthermore > Are power management modules on Smart Phones implemented in the Android OS > or in some special dedicated firmware? Obviously power management must work also if the OS is not yet loaded, but who is responsible of it? And to what extent can I modify the power management with an application running inside of the OS? (I hope these questions are not Off-Topic, in case can you please direct me to the correct Stack-Exchange site?) |
59434 | Why are so many apps using permissions that take my personal data? | I am again and again noticing that a ton of apps ask for ridiculous permissions, and I'm getting frustrated by searching for apps that don't ask me for too much - and frankly, I would download 3 times as much apps if they would ask for reasonable permissions. The one that I personally don't like to share is my `phone id` and `your accounts`, but there are various apps asking for permissions they don't need. Some examples: * A game that needs to load itself after boot. * A game that needs my accounts. * A game that needs my phone calls. * A browser that needs my phone calls and accounts. Why are these permissions requests there? Are most of them doing some data collecting? Are the developers too lazy to check what permissions they really need? |
59438 | Is Google collecting data when I use the standard mail app? | When I use the Android mail app (not the Gmail app) with my own email provider, are the mail addresses I communicate with also synced to Google somehow? or is Google collecting any oft that data? |
59439 | How do i make the kindle application on my smartphone work for the books from the "My kindle content" folder of my laptop? | I have transferred several books from the "My kindle content" folder of my laptop to my smartphone. I'm unable to view theses books in the kindle app on my smartphone. Any information will be highly appreciated. |
26888 | Migrating SMSes from Windows Mobile to Android phone | I want to migrate all my SMSs from WinMo to Android. I currently use PIM Backup to make a backup in case WinMo gets hard resetted, and it works fine. I have complete history of received and sent messages. I tried `SMS Exporter` but it looked like the XML file doesn't contain sent SMS (bad!!) I tried `Sprite Backup`: it generates a good EXE file with possibly all the messages it in, but I couldn't restore it by copying the generated files into Android SD card and opening Sprite Backup for Android, since it listed no backup file available in SD. I also read about `Sprite Migrate` from a 2010 blog post, but I see no more traces of it. What can I do to migrate SMSs? Contacts are no problem: I'll use `LocalSync` for Windows |
29679 | Cannot receive group messages from iPhone users | I switched from an iPhone, of which I was a fanatic, to the Samsung Galaxy S3. I can receive individual messages from iPhone users, but I cannot receive any group messages. I have downloaded many apps to try and fix the issue such as Handcent and GoSMS. I have re-enabled and disabled iMessage. Unregistered the iPhone(s) from my Apple ID and it doesn't seem to work. AT&T has tried to help but because they don't get this too often they couldn't help me. I have called Apple but they want me to pay $29 for any type of support. How can I receive group messages on my Galaxy S3? I'd hate to have to go back over this issue. |

78772 | Force mobile data use while wifi is on | My wired connection is currently down, so my router's Wi-Fi does not connect. My phone's mobile data works fine. I want to mirror my phone's screen to my tv and watch YouTube. The problem is that to mirror the phone's screen I need Wi-Fi turned on on the phone, and at the same time would need the YouTube app to use mobile data. Is there any way to do this? |
78773 | LG P880 sound problem | I have LG P880. The problem with my phone is that when someone is calling me, the phone doesn't ring. I receive the call, but no sounds at all. Does anyone have the same problem? Or what should I do? |
78776 | How do I store apps or app data on internal sd card with Android 4.4.x (Kit Kat)? | Is there an officially supported way without third party extensions or hacks to store applications or some application data on SD card storage instead of internal storage? I see a bunch of empty app directories on the sd card in the sdcard1/Android/obb and sdcard1/Android/data directories, but all the actual data is in internal storage. I'm using CyanogenMod 11 M9, based on Android 4.4.4. In the past, I could go to Settings -> Apps, pick an app, and there was a "Move to SD Card" button. Now, this button isn't present for any of my apps, even those with large data files. |
78778 | Can Cyanogenmod 11 themes be used on CM 10? | In the past, I unintentionally discovered that Cyanogenmod 9 can use CM 10 themes. While the play store shows CM 11 themes as incompatible on CM 10, would the themes work if installed manually? |
78779 | Allow USB debug pop-up not showing while installing CyanogenMod on Galaxy S3 i9300 | I'm trying to install CyanogenMod on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300, international). Had no problems, until I had to switch to the pc installer. I'm stuck on the screenshot underneath:  I have enabled USB debugging on my device (since the day I got it), did all the stuff asked up until now, but I can't continue here. It doesn't show any pop-up on the device, USB debugging is enabled. Can anybody help me? Much appreciated! |

55191 | Do not see synchronized "My calendar" on Android 4.1.2 phone in Google Calendar web interface | I have added new event in Gapps "Calendar" application (Google Calendar) on my Android 4.1.2 phone. This event got added to "My calendar" calendar (and I **cannot change** this which calendar this event belongs to **after creation** ). Though "My calendar" is selected both in _Calendars to display_ and _Calendars to sync_ it is not visible in Google Calendar web interface: https://www.google.com/calendar/ Where this "My calendar" is sync'ed to? Can I add it to be visible from web interface (does it have and URL)? How can I copy or move event to my main personal Google Calendar calendar ("Jakub Narebski <...@gmail.com>")? * * * I see that I should have added the first event by using Menu > New event rather than clicking on timeline. How can I copy it to other calendar? |
55190 | How do I install, update, and remove apps for multiple devices in the Google Play online store? | I've got several Android devices. I like to use the online Play store to manage installs because it's much faster than doing so through each device. However, I do not see a way to determine which apps are installed on which device without clicking through the following links, **once per app** : > Apps → My Apps → [specific app] → Installed → Choose a Device How do I quickly do the following, without going through the process above? 1. Review per device installations. 2. Select apps for installation, update, or removal, per device. |
79429 | Icon remains in drawer after removing stock app | I removed Google Drive from system/app using Root Explorer. However, when I check the app drawer, the icon is still there. (When I removed other system apps like samsung's ChatOn, the icon disappeared). I wish to remove other google apps I don't need/use, but I dont want to leave a bunch of nonfunctional icons in the drawer. What am I doing wrong? |
34668 | In using a VNC to control a computer, is it possible to have the cursor go to where you touch? | I don't have an Android device, but I'm thinking of getting a Nexus tablet, and using android-vnc-viewer to make the Nexus an input device to control the PC, and provide faster cursor movement/text editing. Both screens would be a mirror of each other. From VNC videos that I see on YouTube, such as in this video, after optionally zooming in, you can touch the screen, and slide it to move the view. However, the cursor remains centered. The cursor seems to only move when you touch a button/control. Once I'm happy with the view, can I lock it? Screen touches would then just move the cursor to where I touch. I already know of text manipulation commands once a cursor is within text such as words, sentences, or paragraphs; I'd rather not have to double tap to move the cursor and select, as I have some RSI (repetitive strain injuries)/Tendinosis. Thanks for any information. |
67851 | Device Chooser cannot detect Droid Maxx? | I am trying to run a "Hello World" app on my Motorola Droid Maxx. I am using Eclipse with the ADT bundle under Ubuntu 14.0.4.

66109 | Problems with Huawei Phone | I have a Huawei Android phone with 512 MB ram and a 1.2 GHz quadcore processor with 4GB internal memory with JellyBean on it. For the past few days no game is running on it. I have tried Riptide GP2, Dead Trigger, World at Arms but to no avail. They install but when I open them they load 20-30% and then it comes back to the menu screen with a wheel rotating. I thought it was a problem with my ram but I researched that RAM frees itself to run apps. I have 30-40 MB free ram so please tell me what to do as I am really annoyed. I know it has good hardware as its antutu benchmark score is around 14000. I do not want to root my phone. I've uninstalled many apps just to make the games work, but it didn't work. I would like to play these games. |

61454 | Added simulated external display in Developer Settings and can't boot now | Got my S3 Mini with CM11 stuck at boot after adding external display simulation in Developer Settings. Just after that UI froze and I had to reboot. After that it freezes on "Android is upgrading" popup and the progress circle isn't even running. I tried going to Safe Mode but the only difference is that the progress circle is running all the time but nothing happens for another hour.

28104 | At what application size does android add the WiFi tag to it? | In the Google Play Store, when an app is too large in size, a "WiFi" tag is mentioned next to the app name. That way the user can know that the download is heavy. At what application size does Android add the WiFi tag to apps ? |
3852 | Why do I get "not enough space" when I copy an APK file to /system/app? | I recently rooted my HTC Desire Bravo because I needed read/write access to `/system/app` in order to be able to copy an APK file there. I wrote here on stackexchange on the best solution to root the Desire and got pointed to Unrevoked. Everything worked fine and typing "su" in the adb shell gives me nice root access. I re-mounted /system like mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system That worked. However, trying to copy my APK file using `adb push MyApp.apk /system/app/` didn't work and gave me a "permission denied". Alternatively I therefore pushed the app to /sdcard first and wanted to do a cat /sdcard/MyApp.apk > /system/app/MyApp.apk That approach has worked just perfectly on my rooted HTC Hero, on the Desire however it gives me > "Cannot create /system/app/MyApp.apk: not enough memory" Does anyone have a clue on what could be the problem here? How can I push my app to the system folder so that it installs properly? |
28100 | "Android OS" is continuously downloading something in the background, how can I stop that? | My HTC One V (on 4.0 ICS) seems to be continuously downloading something even when it's inactive, and it's using the battery abnormally fast. My data usage graph:  (click to enlarge) On the first picture, the brown line is for the "Android OS" element, which as you can see is responsible for at least 60% of the data consumption. I don't know what Android is downloading, but it does it continuously and it has a big effect on my battery's life. When I disable mobile data, the battery usage line becomes flat (see second picture). How can I check what exactly "Android OS" is doing? And how can I disable this activity? Here is the battery usage graph. As you can see, the line became flat when I've disabled mobile data.  (click to enlarge) |
3858 | How can I determine which app is accessing GPS? | I have an Evo 4G with one app that I allow to access GPS periodically so I leave GPS enabled. However I see the GPS icon show up far more frequently than is scheduled for that app. I've shut down everything I could find that was a likely source. Any way to tell which app is accessing the GPS? I do have some other apps that can be battery hogs at times so watching battery usage isn't really going to cut it on this one without some usage changes. I'm hoping for either an app, a setting, or a log that will tell me. |
38955 | How can I import sms from iphone 4s / IOS6 with Samsung Kies | I've got a brand spanking Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and I want to import my SMS's - I've installed Kies, detected an iphone backup, (my iphone's name and date displays) but the import screen just refreshes infinitely (hmm... probably infinite) whilst my fans get to cranking (activity monitor shows 30% CPU). My iphone backup is fresh, unencrypted, and I've tried with the phone plugged in, itunes running + iphone plugged in, and ihpone / itunes disconnected. Any insider tips for me?! (Please note, this question is IOS6 dependant - other tips for IOS5 haven't worked for me) |
38956 | USB OTG "power consumtion error" | I use a USB OTG cable to connect USB devices such as pen drives, mice, key boards, etc. But when I connect _some devices_ , (particularly _some of the pen drives_ I have) it gives me following error message and prompts me to disconnect the device.  I contacted my OTG cable retailer and he suggested that I should use a USB hub with a power inlet, to connect the devices which give the above error as the said error generated due to heavy power drain from the connected devices (pen drives). I want to know whether there is a possibility of bricking my phone if I use a USB hub with a power inlet. |
22763 | Relationship between a recovery and a ROM | As far as I understand: Recoveries (e.g. ClockworkMod) can be used, among other things, to install new versions of the Android OS, like custom ROMs (e.g. CyanogenMod) by updating the ROM section which contains the Android OS firmware. Recoveries are entered by shutting down the phone and powering it up by pressing special button combinations, so the phone doesn't enter the regular OS, but instead activates the recovery section. Now, from that I expecte that the Recovery is something like the boot system on a PC (e.g. GRUB), that is separate from the actual OS, and activated when there is trouble getting into the OS. And because it's not a part of the OS, it can be used to update the OS itself. However, what I'm confused about is this: The guide to installing CyanogenMod on GT-S5570 says that _"The official Android 2.3 update from Samsung must be applied before following this guide."_ Another guide for flashing the ClockworkMod recovery on GT-S5570 also says that if you have 2.2 on the phone, you have to use a _different version_ of ClockworkMod recovery, than if you have 2.3. **What is the relationship between these two, a recovery and the Android OS?** Further: Is a different version of the recovery really needed for different OS versions? Is this something specific to ClockworkMod, or is it how Andoroid's recovery system works always? If a recovery can be used to update the OS to a different version, does the recovery then become invalid after the update? |
75939 | How to prevent specific apps from using mobile data? | So there are some mobile apps that love to use lots of mobile data, and sometimes use it when the wifi signal isn't good (e.g. Spotify).

22765 | Can anyone explain to me what the % really refers to in the Android system, battery usage? | I am wondering what the different percentages really refer to in the battery usage section.

What I did: 1. Activated Developer Settings 2. Checked USB Debugging 3. Installed Google USB driver from Android SDK Manager But Windows doesn't see it when I connect by USB cable.

25964 | Samsung Galaxy S3 - after AT&T over the wire update - google search doesn't find installed apps | I just purchased a Galaxy S III from AT&T, and only after a few days, I got a pushed, forced update from AT&T (not stating what it does, just " **AT &T Software update**" version: " **V3_1205_2_2** ") I didn't notice any change for a few hours, until I wanted to search for an app (menu - search) Up until the update (still innocent till proven guilty, but looks more than circumstantial evidence) as in any android phone, the built in google search would search and find all installed apps, However after that update (and again, it could be something else, but I can't think what it is) it stopped working. Google search (which is the built in device search) only shows web results and bookmarks Am I the only one experiencing it? if so I'll just return it to AT&T and get another, as much as re-installing everything gives me a headache just thinking about it. If I'm not the only one, then is it indeed a bug in AT&T's anonymous, rude, forcing itself on you, update? |

31856 | Are hotspots sold inside phones? | My idea is this: It would be really convenient if i could buy a smartphone with an integrated mobile hotspot so i dont have to carry around a separate device. So is this sold? if so, by whom and approximately how expensive can this get? (assume carrier is irrelevant, i can easily switch to another if Verizon doesn't work) |
53568 | Galaxy s2 is recognised by computer but doesn't charge | This is an odd one but today I noticed by S2 wasn't charging while plugged in.

Is there any way I can fix this myself? |
55227 | Adjusting between Group & Single text messaging on Galaxy S4 | I recently got the Samsung S4 on AT&T. I used to have the Motorola Razr M on Verizon. On my Razr M I was able to switch between group text and individual text messages at the time of sending. So if my main setting on my Motorola was to send individual text messages, I was still able to receive group messages as a group and the default was to respond individually, but I had the option to respond as a group also. Does that make sense? Example 1: I could send a picture to 10 people but those 10 people would think they were the only people who got the text message. Example 2: If I receive a group text message that someone wanted 10 of us to get and we all need to be able to respond for a work project we were able to with the Motorola. With my Samsung if I disable MMS then I am only able to see who sent me the message but not everyone who was included so I am not able to respond all. Example 3: If I needed to send a group text message and have it sent as a group I was able to adjust at the time of sending by clicking on group instead of individual and all the people who received the message would see who was included on the text. Even if the main text message default setting was individual. |

75680 | DNSCrypt on Android | I'd like to install DNSCrypt on Android. I have installed it on Windows 8, Linux Mint, and Kali Linux. But I'm very new to Linux, thus dealing with Android as a Linux distro is way out of my league. I've Google'd a tutorial for this for hours, and everyone seems to be asking with no one to answer them. The DNSCrypt website has an Android-specific version which means it should be possible, some forum member has written a couple of commands like "and then you configure and compile" and such. But no specific "spoon-feeding" command to type in the Android terminal. So, how do we install **DNSCrypt.eu** on Android? Update 1: https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy/issues/98#issuecomment-41883910 Here's a similar explanation to what I referred to. How Do I write a script?! what do I copy exactly? There are three folders when I un-tar and tar.gz from the link above. |

Before I chuck thousands of pounds worth of hardware away and settle for running my app on smaller tablets, is there a sane downgrade path to 2.2/2.3 for the P7510?

53560 | Mobile Data only working when used as hotspot | I recently bought a HTC One. Everything worked fine including mobile-data and Wifi. Until I once used my phone as Hotspot for my laptop. The whole time while using the hotspot I had working internet on both my phone and laptop. But the next day (hotpost disabled), I couldn't get the mobile- data to work. I don't get an error, it just doesn't load. Wifi connections still work. Now I tried reenabling hotspot and to my surprise it works. I now have internet on the laptop but NOT on the phone. It seems that somehow the mobile-data will only work when the phone is used as hotspot. What have I done wrong? Android 4.2.2 |
