74617 | Is it possible to use Apple Wireless keyboard with Android 4.2.2 tablet? | I have a Kobo Arc 10HD and it runs on Android 4.2.2.

8738 | How to fix Invalid IMEI number on HTC HD2 phone after factory reset? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > How to fix "Invalid IMEI " after Factory reset? Hi. I followed Three.ie support and performed a factory reset on my HTC HD2 running Android 2.2.1. It now displays 'Invalid IMEI' where the SIM connection detail should be. I purchased the phone from China and have been using it with an O2 SIM but the reception in my area is bad so I sent for a three.ie SIM. This also worked OK but I queried why it was connectiong to Vodafone.ie and not three.ie. I was told to do a factory reset to correct this. The reset has now made the phone unusable. I have the original IMEI number printed inside the phone. This is 354120034327435. Please help. regards Dave |
8573 | What is the fastest way to turn the phone into silent mode? | The title kinda tells it all. Sometimes I need to turn silent for a meeting and the procedure is like: 1. Unlock the phone 2. Click on `Menu` 3. Go to `Settings` 4. Click on `Sound` 5. Enable `Silent mode` Apart from (1), which can't be shortened (can it?), I want to minimize the remaining 4 clicks. EDIT: I have a Nexus S, but I'm more interested in things that are not specific to models. Also, please feel free to add model-specific answers, as other people may find it useful. |

35747 | How to limit the synchronized contacts to "My Contacts" on a Galaxy Note? | I have a problem with my Galaxy Note II (Android 4.1.1) when synchronizing the contacts I have on the phone via Bluetooth with my car. I believe this is some limitation of the number of contacts (or groups of contacts) I have on my phone. The same problem is present on my wife's Galaxy S3. I therefore would like to understand how the Galaxy Note II synchronizes its contacts with Google. I keep all my contacts in Google (I have nothing locally) and would like to just get the _"My Contacts"_ group (with the hope it will fix the Bluetooth synchronization problem). I tried to limit the accounts as explained in another post but even though the title of the post is the same as mine, the solutions seem to only limit the number of **displayed** contacts. What I did was to: 1. stop the synchronization for the google account (for contacts) 2. forcefully delete all contacts from my phone (with Mass Contacts Delete, Delete All Contacts and Delete Contacts 3. choose only _"My Contacts"_ in `Contacts | Menu | Display Options | Choose contacts to display (account)` 4. restart the synchronization I end up with all google contacts synchronized again ( _"My Contacts"_ , the groups within and the _"Other Contacts"_ one). I know this because when running the batch contact delete apps they inform me that 500+ contacts will be deleted (while I should have only 30 or so synchronized). This is why I suspect the solution given in the post I mentioned (and which I basically run in the points 2-4 above) just helps to limit the display (and not the whole synchronization). I would be grateful for * some general information about how the Google accounts are synchronized with Android (specifically Samsung Galaxy) * possibly a way to limit the "visible" accounts, as presented by the phone via Bluetooth (the idea being that even if the phone has all the contacts synchronized, maybe there is a way to set it up so that it "presents" (makes visible to other devices) only a subset). Note: the inferior alternative OS :) (iOS) worked as expected out of the box -- so I guess this is something which is manageable in Android as well. |
51392 | How to change Moborobo's SMS time | I'm currently using the Android Smartphone Management Software Moborobo and was amazed of what it can do.

51394 | Connected via SSH Tunnel, but IP address stays the same | I have installed SSH Tunnel on my phone, and can connect to an ssh account I created on my server. The server runs debian 7, hosted elsewhere, with openssh-server installed. I created a special user account for this purpose. Whenever I enable sshtunnel, it says it's connected, but the ip address does not change. I created a simple php-page on my webserver that shows the ip address plus current time. The time is updated each time, so it's not a caching problem. How can I get this working? |
32215 | How can I tell why my sleeping phone occasionally gets warm (and battery is draining abnormally)? | My two Android phones are doing the same thing, Motorola Milestone and Samsung GS3. From time to time, it is sleeping in my pocket and it will start to get warm and the battery is then draining quite rapidly. I guess it must be caused by an application that is stuck running in the background so I am checking: * Task manager, but none of the applications seem to be using more CPU than any other, they are mostly all close to 0%. * In "Battery Statistics" only "Phone Idle" shows quite high battery usage so it does not tell me if there is a problematic application. Currently I just reboot the phone to solve the problem but I would prefer if I was able to find the problematic application so I can close it. |
51398 | Cyanogenmod 10.1 becomes unstable with usage? | Does CM 10.1 become more and more unstable with usage? I have a Galaxy Mini S5570 running CM 10.1. After flashing the ROM my phone works fine for one or two weeks. But soon my phone starts crashing more often. The phone starts rebooting every now and then. Apps (especially Camera.apk) start crashing often even though I haven't installed any new apps. This doesn't happen for the for the first few days after flashing the ROM. Is there any fix for this? Any patch available so that my phone can run smoothly even after 2 weeks? |
32211 | Can I run a webserver on an android device? | You can make a Web server on your router providing that you rewrite its firmware with a free DD-WRT, Tomato, etc. You can also run a on a raspberry pi, given that you can run a Web server on any device provided it runs a Linux. Can I run a Web server on an Android device, and if yes, how can I set it up? |
22687 | My phone thinks it's charging | After upgrading my Galaxy Nexus to 4.0.4, it keeps thinking the cable is being plugged in and out all the time. The battery discharges at a normal rate, even though the screen keeps lighting up as a result of the random plug events. I don't think this is a hardware issue, but I've not completely discarded the idea either. Has anyone experienced this? Is this a known issue? Anything I can do about it? |

22689 | Skype integration with the native contacts? | I tried adding Skype information to my contacts and there's a gray circle showing up beside the Skype username. I can then deduce that it is indicating my contact as offline. However, there seems to be some inconsistencies. On some contacts, I can see three options below them namely: * IM with Skype * Call with Skype * Video call with Skype However, on other contacts, there aren't any options below their Skype usernames. And also, another inconsistency is the status. My contacts would show up as online on the Skype app but will still show the gray circle on the Contacts app. This happens fairly most of the time which defeats the purpose of it having an indicator there in the first place. At times though, it would correctly and show a yellow circle on online contacts. I want to know why it's behaving like this and if there's any way to make it less **buggy** than how it is right now. Also, can't I just click on the Skype username on the Contacts app and have the Skype app open up their profile? It seems easier that way instead of adding the three Skype actions I stated earlier. |
26597 | Are there any alternate mirrors for downloading Android Source | Presently I am trying to download the android 4.0 source from https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.1_r1 The package and project paths are accessible here `https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest/+/c4e4db1a85b9bea00b9fe8c6a18f9d3357adab0c/default.xml` Currently I am using ubuntu based curl , gitcore and repo to download the source.

26594 | Android: POP3-only email clients without mandatory SMTP settings? | I have a few email accounts at a free email service (and all accounts are old but I prefer to use them as non-primary), and I'd like to connect them to my Android email client. In free mode, that email service only allows POP3 access so I use that for registering at message boards, services etc for really long time. When I was trying to add those accounts to my Android email client, I failed to do that because my client also requires SMTP settings. Sure, as a work around, I can use Gmail to import those accounts to my primary Gmail, but I'd like to keep them separated. So, the question is: is there an Android email client that does not require mandatory SMTP access? Thanks in advance. |

26598 | How do I prompt the user for "Device Administrator" on Tasker? | I made a Tasker app via the Tasker App Factory that locks the screen based on various occasions. My app works fine except from the initial run which would require the user to enable it as "Device Administrator". How do I prompt the user to do this instead of having to instruct them to go to **Settings > Security > Device Administrators**? I'm quite positive it has to be done by using **Send intent** (a Tasker function) but I'm not sure how to go about doing it. Just to clarify, I want to show the user the dialog box for "Device Administrator" automatically on first open of the app. * * * Okay so I tried using Intent Intercept but even that, doesn't seem to intercept the Device Administrator prompt. See my video below on how the Device Administrator prompt appears when I select it to be enabled on Secure Settings (a Tasker plugin). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TprkAYoDVDI As you can see above, Intent Intercept never prompted me and the Device Administrator dialog still popped up. |
60973 | How to switch between viewing of two different pages of one PDF file easily | For example, the pdf file could be a research paper or a book and it has a complicated diagram on page 10, and text in page 11, 12, 13 refers to this diagram constantly. Or page 100 has a complicated example and text in page 200 refers to the example in page 100. The example or the diagram is complicated in the sense that I cannot recall its details easily without looking at it. If I were reading this pdf on a desktop computer with a large monitor, I would open two windows side by side, one window displaying page 100, another window displaying page 200, and if the monitor was small, I would have two maximized windows and I would be Alt+Tab-ing between the two. If I were reading this pdf on my Android smartphone while I was on a bus, what can I do to easily switch between viewing of page 100 and page 200? A workaround I use for now is to take a snapshot image of page 100, and then switch between an image viewer (for viewing page 100) and pdf reader (for viewing page 200), and I wonder if there are better ways. |

65252 | Stuck in Fastboot?! Help please! | I tried to get CM11 on my LG G2 on Bell Canada's network and I really messed it up. I can no longer get into recovery, adb doesn't see my phone, but download mode works (though I have no idea how to use it). I even tried the "Get out of Fastboot" tutorial and it didn't work because when I get to the point where I have to choose " **Android** " under " **other devices** " in Windows 7 and my G2 is showing up as " **SAMSUNG Android Phone** " and under that it says " **USB Modem Phone ADB Port** ". The latest drivers for LG are installed so I have no idea what's going on. I had a Samsung Galaxy S2 a long time ago. Could it be that those drivers are over-riding LG's drivers? I have no idea how this stuff works... So now my phone boot loops to little rows of words at the top of the screen: **[650] Fastboot mode started [700] udc_start()** Please, what can I do to fix this phone? I need a simple tutorial for a total noob like myself. Thanks! Secondly, is there any way I can get CM11 on this **Bell** phone? I don't like LG's skin... |
65259 | Apps spamming my log | I've been looking at my log recently for more development of android applications, and I've noticed my log is spammed with all sorts of information that I wouldn't considered needed to be logged. Over time, I've notice my phone get slower. I've even noticed at this point, completely stock firmware with a number of apps from the Play Store, running music right now, and Eclipse can't even keep up with the log output on Verbose logging. My question is related to this. Are the logs stored for a while that might cause space to gradually disappear? Is there a way to turn off some logging features as to not record to "disk" things like verbose, when apps don't even need it? I've always thought logging should be done if it's an error, not "just because". If it's debugging information, then the release version shouldn't log that much output (easily done with a simple variable switch). Am I wrong in this thinking? Thanks in advanced! |

25481 | Unable to set tablet display mode to HDMI | I'm new to android and trying to connect my tablet to LCD TV using a HDMI connector. The instructions in the manual are as below: 1. Set the TV mode to HDMI. 2. Connected the HDMI cable between tablet and TV's respective ports. 3. **Set the tablet display mode under Display Settings to HDMI.** Steps 1 and 2 went good, but in Step 3 I'm unable to find any option in Settings and Display Settings as HDMI. However my default video player named Vortex player has an option to "Play on TV" where the display can be set to HDMI and the video plays fine on the TV. This leaves me to think that both the TV and HDMI cable are working fine but I suspect that the tablet's firmware might be that of a different model perhaps which does not support HDMI (wild guess). The tech support suggested to download and install the latest "software" (not sure if it's a firmware or not, even they were not..) to help fix the issue with steps by connecting it to PC through USB with a bunch of steps. But this software which shows prompts in chinese doesn't seem to help the cause either. Tech support also says I should be prompted to select display mode on tablet when connected to HDMI but it didn't happen either. Details of my tab as below: * Name: Penta T-Pad IS703C (T-Pad IS703C With BSNL) * Manufacturer: Pantel * Android: 4.0.3 * Kernel: 3.0.8 * Build Number: fj_vortex-userdebug 4.0.3 IML74K eng.zjd1.20120413.113558 test-keys Request thoughts and suggestions on the same that could help me fix the situation. P.S the above information remained unchanged even after the "software update", so I suspect that it might've done nothing at all. |

Moreover I can't install any application that can help me: cache cleaner or something else. Does someone know how to overcome this problem? |
17315 | "You don't have enough free space remaining in your phone's storage" | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Why am I getting a "Low on Space" warning and having other weird problems? I have a HTC wildfire S and have experienced nothing but trouble with this phone and a previous android phone I had. I have personally downloaded 1 app which is moved to the SD card, but my phone keeps coming up with the message mentioned in the title. I cannot open the gallery to delete music (which there is little of) or any pictures, it is also stopping me reading messages I have received. How can I create more free space? The only apps I have are the ones that came when I first got the phone and cannot be moved to my 8gb memory card! Someone please help. |
53829 | Locking down Android phone features (Android 4.x) | I'm managing the IT of a small team. I want to restrict the users of the Android phones from doing the following: 1. Turning off GPS. 2. Uninstalling certain apps. 3. Seeing that certain app is installed and running (or quitting this app). Is there a way to do this natively in Android? Alternatively, are there any apps on the Google Play Store that would allow me to set up these limits? |
53828 | Performance comparison between internal and external memory | What are the performance differences between phone's internal memory, the internal SD card, and the external SD card? I wonder if that counts when deciding where to store apps. What technologies are used for building a phone's internal memory? How about the internal SD card, if it is not really an SD card at all? How do they compare, in general, to SD card speed classes 4, 6 and 10? Note that I am not asking about the filesystems, as a deleted answer focused on, since performance comparison on this aspect would be totally ruined by just switching the SD card from FAT32 to something better (which I think the industry should have done since a long time anyway). |

5421 | Is there any way to sync my Outlook calendar to my Samsung Galaxy S without Kies? | I am trying to sync my Outlook 2010 calendar to Samsung Galaxy S using Kies. For some reason, it doesn't sync. Kies has a nasty habit of hanging, so I would really like to use something else, if possible, instead of trying to understand why it doesn't sync to begin with. Are there any tools out there that will sync the calendar directly to the phone without using Kies? |

34822 | Screen timeout versus secured lock time | I just updated to Jelly Bean on my GS3 and am mostly impressed. I am having trouble with the screen timeout setting, however. When I go into Display>Screen Timeout and select a time, say 30 seconds, I get a message that says "Screen will turned off when screen is locked. Secured lock time is currently set to 5 seconds." My question is where? I cannot find this Secured Lock time setting in Display settings, Lock Screen settings or Security settings, which would seem to be the intuitive places to look for it. Further, even though I get this message, my screen now does not turn off at after 5 seconds, or ever as far as I can tell. After walking away from the phone for 20 minutes, I returned to the screen blazing in all its AMOLED glory. |
34823 | How to place replies in the same folder as the original message on the IMAP email app? | Messages that I reply to from my phone are placed in the "Sent" folder.

34827 | Image and video files disappear from the SD Card | Sometimes it happens that all image files (JPEG, PNG, etc.) and videos (3GP) are erased automatically in the SD Card. So they are removed from Gallery also. This means I risk to lose documents and photos I shoot with the phone camera, unless I make external backups. I noticed that sometimes it looks related to fast mount/unmount cycles via USB cable to a PC (due to unwanted multiple pressure on the ' _Activate/Deactivate media archive_ ' soft-button on the phone) Does anyone know what happens? Is it a known bug, some misuse from my side, etc. My phone model is LG P962, with Android 2.3.4 and a 32-GB SD Card. Thanks! |

6821 | Calendar Agenda view won't stay on today | I have the Optimus V. I use Google calendar for all my calendaring needs. I'm using the standard Calendar app that came with my phone, build 2.2.1. I start the Calendar app, and go to Agenda view. It's scrolled so that yesterday is the top. Weird, I don't know why I'd care about my agenda for yesterday. Any normal person would want to see today's agenda plus however much of tomorrow that fits. So I go to menu->Today. Now Today is at the top. So far so good. Now I go to menu->More->Settings, look at my settings and hit the back button. Grrrr. Yesterday is at the top again. So I go to menu->Today. Now Today is at the top again. Now I hit the phone's power button. Then I hit the power button again and unlock my phone. Now the top entry in agenda is TWO DAYS ago, and today isn't shown at all. Is there any way to prevent this extraordinarily irritating behavior? I want "Today" to always be at the top of agenda view. Not some completely random day. Today. Always Today. |
15733 | Mobile Network not available despite full coverage | I've been to my network provider and the problem is with my phone. I woke up on Tuesday with an unread message but have been unable to respond since. My lock screen says that I can make "Emergency calls only", but shows full network coverage. I have CM7 on the phone, and tried a new install last night to no avail. I did spill some water on the phone about two weeks ago, but the phone has been working fine since. Most confusing is I received the text above at 08.00 and the problem has been present since at least 10.00 on the same day. Any advice is welcome. Samsung Galaxy S2 |
15732 | How to disable traffic alert messages which come as flash sms from carrier? | I get this alert message (screenshot from my phone) from my carrier after using the internet for sometime. The problem is that I get numerous messages (20+) like this when my phone is idle. I guess some apps are syncing in the background. The phone is unusable till I hit OK on all the alert boxes. Is there a way (or an app) to make sure that I do not see these messages. |

6826 | Android Log Output KINETO | On my T mobile G2 there is always a lot of action in my Log output that has the tag KINETO these are the two most common things it puts in there: ERROR/KINETO(9304): KLOG0C3- xmk_QueryOSQueue SDL Queue empty : WAIT_FOREVER ERROR/KINETO(9304): KLOG0A3- ibs_os_GetMsg: Timeout forever for UKCC qHnd 0x80c34e3c but there are a lot of others that it does as well. I am wondering what these logs are related to, because they seem to be happening basically all of the time on my device. I did a google search for KINETO and got a bunch of results for Wifi Calling related stuff, which kind of makes sense. My phone came with a Wifi calling app on it. But I never use this app. My suspicion is that I am getting these messages in the log because the wifi calling app does not have access to the internet on my device because of DroidWall. But my question is why does it try so often? and does anyone know if there is a way to stop it from trying so much I am sure this behavior has some negative impact on my battery life. |
11922 | Is there a reasoning to how often and long the notification light blinks? | I have a Droid X.

43444 | How to listen which URLs an app tries to connect | Is there an app (or some other way) that could listen to other apps, and their network?

75924 | Tracking down which app makes HTTP requests | After configuring my Galaxy S4 (Android 4.4.2) phone to use a proxy server for debugging an app, I noticed that other apps on my device were making some suspicious HTTP calls. I would like to track down what app is doing this. Unfortunately, the request itself didn't have any clues... it only contained a generic `User-Agent` header: User-Agent: Dalvik/1.6.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.4.2; SPH-L720 Build/KOT49H) The response was also generic, and not related to anything I have knowingly installed. Is there a way to log apps making HTTP requests on my Android device? |

33652 | Using Activesync with folders in inbox | I recently purchased Note II and am using the stock email. This is a exchange connection and use rules to push email to folders. I can see the folders and get notifications when new mail arrives however if more than one email arrives and is pushed to different folders the notification does not indicate where the email is and so the search begins. The folders do not show unread emails only all emails in the folder read or not. Any ideas. |
33653 | Phone is rooted but has no SU application and can't access SU command on adb shell? | All this time, I thought that once I've rooted my phone, it means that I will also have SU access to it. This is true for the first device I rooted. When I rooted it, a SuperUser application appeared on my phone. I was also able to use the command `su` on the `adb shell`. However, just recently, I tried to root a different phone. After rooting the phone, I check my applications for the SuperUser app but it's not in the applications. And so I downloaded the SuperUser app on the market. But when I opened it, it says, there is no SU binaries installed on the phone. Also, when I inputted `su` on the `adb shell`, it can't determine what is `su`. * What could be the problem? * How can I gain SU privilege? * I thought that once a phone is rooted, it is automatic to have an SU application or at least access to the `su` command. Am I wrong with my assumption? * How can I use the `su` command? * What is the real state of the phone I rooted? Does it mean the phone is not really rooted? Or is it still rooted? Thanks! |

37333 | When phone is off and I plug it in to outlet the phone turns on instead of charging | This might be hardware but I'm not sure so thought I'd ask. Went to plug in to charger at home last night - noticed it didn't charge. Wake up in the morning though and the battery hadn't dropped (or raised) At work I have a different charger and same thing seems to be happening. I powered off my phone though, removed battery, put back in, and plugged in. This is where it gets strange - instead of showing me a large battery charging which is what use to occur it turns on immediately. I checked Software Updates and everything is up-to-date. It is a **Samsung Infuse**. _update_ WHILE PLUGGED IN: Entered * # * # 4 6 3 6 # * #* to display battery info: * Battery Status: Not charging * Power plug: Unplugged * Battery level: 63% * Battery scale: 100 * Battery health: Good * Battery voltage: 3810 mV * Battery temperature: 28.0 deg C * Time since boot: 11:50 |
30308 | How to disable "Forgot Password" on the lockscreen |  I have entered a wrong password five times – now if I click on _Forgot Password_ I can enter a Google account with password, then it will unlock the screen.

15080 | Unlock problem with HTC Desire | I have a HTC Desire with original OS. I arrive to start the device by pushing Power button. The screen lights on with HTC start screen (HTC quietly brillant) then the home screen of the telephone is displayed. There is a first problem because all my widgets and apps on my home screen aren't displayed. Unfortunately, this is not my main problem. When the telephone is locked, when I want to unlock by push Power button like usual, the keys to the bottom of the telephone light on but the screen stays black ! The telephone is well unlocked because when I try to increase volume there is the sound of that action. So, I don't understand very well the problem :(. Someone would have an idea about this problem ? And some advices to fix that ? Thanks by advance for your help. Sylvain. |
39429 | How to switch to vibrate mode using only hardware keys | I have a Nexus 4, and I would like to be able to switch it to vibrate mode without having to look at the screen or unlock it. My previous phones had this ability (my iPhone had a switch dedicated to this on the side, and on my flip phone before that I just held down the volume down button). I've found this feature pretty useful in many situations where I realize after the fact that I want my phone to be silent, but I don't want to show that I'm silencing my phone (movie theaters, churches, meetings, etc.). I keep my phone in my pants pocket, and the other two phones allowed me to silence them without even removing them from my pocket. I've tried holding down the volume up, volume down, or power buttons, but that doesn't do anything. I know that there are apps that I can configure to automatically silence based on my location, time of day, and/or calendar items, and while those are useful they still don't give me a universal way to silence the phone with minimal interaction. A home screen or lock screen widget won't work for me because my work requires that my phone lock itself, and doesn't allow me to put widgets on the lock screen. I'm also not interested in rooting my phone, but a free or paid app (preferably on the Google Play store) is fine. Really, an ideal solution would be an app or setting that allows me to press and hold the volume down button (while the phone is still locked) to put it in vibrate mode. |
78901 | Used (probably) inappropriate charger, touchscreen went crazy, permanent damage? | I used a plug with USB output than may have been inappropriate (output DC5V +/- 0.20V DC500mA +/-30mA). While it was plugged in, the touchscreen stopped working properly (touching one part of the screen would trigger another), I guess because the voltage was wrong? Is there any danger that I did some permanent damage to the phone or the battery? It wasn't plugged in for long. |

39422 | How can I search the SMSs/MMSs using the default search interface? | I have an Cyanogenmod 10.1 ROM installed. I love the Google Search interface and can search most of my phone using it but I am unable to find "Messaging" as a searchable item. I've seen a lot of photos showing "Messaging" as a searchable item but it isn't on my phone. Would any of you know if this possible in JellyBean? Was it a feature that was removed? Do I need to configure something? Thanks I dug through the Cyanogenmod source and found that a commit was made that removed this functionality. I haven't been able to understand the reason for this: https://bitbucket.org/cyanogenmod/android_packages_apps_mms/commits/15290a70177d1cca473fb40e9eee3ed76249926c |
