68375 | how to fix error message e:/unable to mount usbstorage on Samsung Note 3 - Sprint Variant | I have the above device rooted and installed custom recover twrp 2.6.x.x. I keep seeing the message: unable to moutn e:/usbstorage. And I think this is messing with my attempt to install Cyanogenmod 11. I checked the MD5 hash of Cyanogenmod and it is good. I have also tried older versions from the same nightly page. I just get this one error. When I flash the phone, if I ask twrp to check the MD5, it fails. If don't ask for it, it says that there is no hash file and reports that install was a success. But instead the phone goes into a boot loop. I saw this link about the same issue on a different phone. Here is the link Script / Fix Soft Brick Loop_ EFS partition_01.11.13 Some of the people on the site say that the script worked for their Note 3. Others say that the script is not for Note 3. Also the download site seems to be malicious ( according to my malware software; so I can not download it ). I need help to fix this issue. I do have a stock image to flash my phone if anything breaks. I also have the rooting and twrp flashing tools and procedures. I do it in my sleep now. I do not know if I should start messing with PIT files. |
68374 | Is there a way to play music files from a specific time? (From 0:30 til the end of the track, for example.) | I have a Nexus 5 and I'm trying to find out if it is possible to play only certain sections of music files instead of the whole track. For example, if I want to skip the first 30 seconds, is there any setting I can change for the file or in the music player so that whenever I play that track, it automatically skips the first 30 seconds? Or if I want to play only the segment from 30s to 1:30s for that track, I can specify this is the settings for that track somehow? I'm currently using the default music player on my phone, but if this is only possible with an app from the Play store, that would be fine with me as well. I browsed through some of the popular apps but they don't make it clear whether or not this feature is present. |

68370 | Xperia Z Ultra, CM 11, no voicemail indicator | I am using CM 11 nightlies on my Xperia Z Ultra (Togari, c6833), no issues other than the voicemail indicator icon doesn't show when I got voicemails. I transfer the SIM card to my old Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999v), running the same CM 11 version, and I get the voicemail indicator icon. What settings can I check? What can I do to restore the voicemail functionality? Can it be a bug in CM 11 for togari? I am on Videotron, Canadian ISP. Thanks, |

47415 | Recovery mode not working in Samsung Galaxy Fit | I have a Samsung Galaxy Fit to which I installed Clockworkmod Recovery. When I put my phone into recovery mode by pressing `home`+`power` only the Samsung logo appears; the phone is not booting into stock or Clockworkmod Recovery. My phone is rooted with Superoneclick. How can I restore it back to stock or Clockworkmod recovery? I installed Clockworkmod Recovery before rooting my phone using Odin. |
47414 | HTC Desire stuck on HBOOT | I've been researching possible issues and fixes for the last couple of hours now and not turning up much, so I have a HTC Desire stuck on HBOOT with unresponsive buttons when attempting to select fastboot etc. So far from what I have turned up I have found that it isn't possible to restore the phone to a clean install of 2.2/2.3 version of Android without the phone already being rooted, am I correct with this? Or have I missed something in my haste to solve this? If I have left any important information out please let me know so I can correct this. |

67344 | How to turn off mobile-data/3G for each SIM card separately in Samsung Galaxy Mega Duos? | I'm using Samsung Galaxy Mega Duos and use two SIM cards - one sim with very low charge for 3G connection (called SIM1) and the other with very-high fee (called SIM2). I go to `Setting - Connections - Data usage` to turn off 3G on SIM2 but the checkbox `Mobile data` seems to be synced between the two e.g. if I check it on SIM1 and then go to SIM1 to turn it off, SIM1 is turned off too!? My question: How can I turn of 3G for SIM2 but keep it for SIM1?  |
34178 | Access PC drives | Is there a way to access a PC's drives from a Galaxy Note (4.0.4) through the USB port at the initiative of the phone itself. Ideally I would write an Android application which would - permissions permitting - access the PC's resources (SMB client for instance). |
36779 | How can I symlink the /cache folder on boot? | After rooting and installing link2sd on my **HTC Explorer** , I still have low memory issues. On Google Play, I can't download apps larger than 10-15M. This is because the /cache folder is in the internal memory, which is desperately small. In my version, Google Play writes directly in /cache, not in subfolders. Using adb as root, I deleted `/cache` and created a symlink `/cache -> /mnt/sdcard/cache`. This is fine, but when I reboot the phone the symlink is replaced by the old folder. Is there a proper way to solve this issue once and for all? Thanks for any hint, A |

34175 | Why LG GT540 after boot it disconnects with ADB | Why when my phone LG GT540 is running and seen by ADB after bootup it disconnects (not from PC just from ADB, as PC still can see it it Device Manager) after few seconds after bootup sequence? The problem is occuring only with GT540, tested other device - HTC - works fine. The key could be USB drivers, but tried many of them official and handmade.

35882 | Input languages to Jelly Bean on Galaxy S3 | I know that there are 18 new keyboard languages in Jelly Bean. I upgraded my S3 to Jelly Bean, but I didn't get the additional languages.

18569 | Real time device share on Apple TV via AirPlay | I see that there are apps that will broadcast certain things to an Apple TV via AirPlay, but is there a way to send a view of the screen in real time via this method?

33726 | Phone added contact unfindable | My phone's contacts are synced with my Google and Facebook accounts. Whenever I add a contact through my phone it gets synced to my Google Account. Wonderful... Ok I usually send them a text message to let them know my number and then through my browser I'll add a picture and so forth, all that good stuff. Now under the 'Messages' application on my phone. (Where all my sms activity goes on) I can see this contact with their new picture and our conversation. However If I go to the 'Phonebook' application (the app that manages my phone's contacts) and I do a search for that name, nothing comes up. They are clearly already in my phone since through the Messages app I cannot add them again, but they are not find-able. What am I doing erroneously?? |
35227 | Apps missing after sd card unmount | The core issue is in the title: the apps that were installed in the SD card seem to be not installed at all after I unmounted the SD card. As additional information, these are the steps preceding the moment I have noticed this problem: * installed some apps (so, it's not an app-specific problem) * moved many of them to the SD card using App2SD \- apps working properly * unmounted the SD card and detached from the phone (which is turned on) * no data were written on the sd card (only read operations) * put SD back in the phone (the _same_ SD card) At this point, I was, and currently am, not able to launch the applications previously moved in the SD card. The links are available on my home screen, but after tapping them I get an error message saying "error launching application". They are not available in the app menu, neither are marked as "installed" in the play store. Fortunately, the applications' data are still there, and installing some of the apps again they appeared the same as the last time I used them. So, the question is twofold: 1. Is there a way to recover the apps, or do I have to manually reinstall them? 2. Is this a potential bug of App2SD? |
58784 | Chrome white pages and image not loading | Since I upgraded to Android 4.4 (Kitkat), I'm having a lot of problems with anything web related. Often, when calling an URL, the loading is fast and shows nothing: the page remains white. Even refreshing won't do. Clearing the cash doesn't help either. I have to close all tabs, serveral times, relaunch Chrome or even reboot my device to get the page to load. Even then, I'm not entirely sure if rebooting the device did make it work or it's just random. Sometimes, when loading an animated gif, it will start to load and stop and never play again. It could also just stay on the first frame. Also, the webview of reddit's app does the same thing, I switched it to show the link inside the browser instead to see if it helps, but it doesn't. I'm don't know if the Play Store has webviews in it, but sometimes the app just doesn't load anything and the page is also white. At first I thought it may be my connection, but I tested over nealry 10 wifi (home, work, cafe, friends, etc.) and it seems to be very random as it starts to act weird from over time. My device is a Nexus 4. |
35221 | Nexus 7 wont boot after complete discharge | I accidentally let the battery on my Nexus 7 run completely empty, and now it won't start up anymore even after charging overnight. How can I make it work again? This is what happened in detail: My battery ran low, and I had no time to recharge it. I forgot about it, and found my tablet powered off. I attached it to a charger (the official wall-plug adaptor), waited a few minutes, and then turned it on. I expected it to be able to run from the cable like my phone, but it reported 0% battery and shut itself down immediately. I retried it after a slightly longer time. This time I didn't get to the home screen, but was shown a black and white animated battery icon. I pressed the power button, and the animation froze, and only disappeard after a long time (I put it away and discovered it was gone after a few hours). Since then I've been loading it for > 12 hours, but I haven't been able to get any response. The charger gets warm, but the tablet doesn't. I've heard that once the battery is competely discharged, it only charges in "trickle mode" (that is normally used to top off a 98% loaded battery safely), and can take a very long time to become operative again. This would explain why the adapter gets warm but not the tablet. If this is true, is there any way to speed up charging? |
35223 | Samsung galaxy tab2 P3100 "android.process.media" stopped issue? | I have updated Samsung galaxy tab2 P3100 to jelly bean since then I am getting popup error as "unfortunately the process android.process.media has stopped". Is there any fix available for this? |
73404 | Android hangs on boot image after changing boot loader | I changed the bootimage of an Android device and it bricked. It's freezing at the boot image. I try to install a ROM using fastboot but I have a permission error. I try to connect with adb but I can't, the device doesn't appear in the list of devices. I need to enter to the file sytem and replace the bootimage or install a ROM or a Recovery without ADB. The device is an ASUS Memopad HD7 and it's rooted. I think the problem with bootloader is that it isn't unlocked. I try to use flashtool but it's searching all time because the PC doesn't recognize the device. It's recognized only if I start the fastboot mode and it appears like HTC Dream. If I start in normal mode it appears like a storage but it doesn't appear in file explorer or adb. |
73417 | How do I read pdf files on my Neocore tablet? | I have just recently acquired a Neocore 10 tablet and it has Adobe Reader pre installed on it. I have a lot of pdf files on a usb stick which I want to plug into my Neocore's usb socket so that I can read them. I really have no idea how to do this. After inserting my usb stick into the neocore I then clicked on the Adobe Reader icon and hoped that the reader would open and I could click on "Open File" and see a long list of my pdfs to read. But this didn't happen. Can you please explain to someone who is not very computer savvy exactly what I have to do. When I have finished and want to take out my usb stick can I just unplug it straight away or do I switch off my neocore so that I can then safely unplug the stick? (I actually closed down my neocore and then unplugged the stick. When I plugged my stick into my laptop I was surprised to see that a new directory called "LOST.DIR" was on it) Thank you |
73410 | How to import photos from a digital camera using USB OTG? | I have some simple digital camera for my kids with only internal memory. I do have some windows software for it to import the photos. The windows software looks a bit outdated, but it works. When I connected it on an Ubuntu machine to read the USB ID ("ID 0979:0227 Jeilin Technology Corp., Ltd JL2005B/C/D Toy Camera") it worked instantly. The memory was mounted as a drive, I could see the photos and copy them! But when I go on holiday I will have neither a Windows PC nor an Ubuntu machine nearby. I will only have my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, which supports USB OTG. When I connect the camera via the USB OTG connector, the camera gives a bleep and on my tablet I see a message "USB connector attached". But I don't see a mounted drive (which I do see when I connect a simple USB memory stick). Is there some kind of app to import the photos from a digital camera? Regards, |

17208 | Help controlling the cursor in swype? | I've got swype pre-installed on my Epic4G, and after a recent update (which also introduced an exasperating auto correction "feature") I'm finding that my cursor won't stay put -- it pops to the end of the word instead of staying where I set it. Say I type `twowords` and then realize I need a space -- I go set the cursor between `two` and `words` thinking that I'll hit the space bar and separate them, but the cursor, which definitely landed where I wanted it, hops to the end of `twowords`. If I try _again_ it stays, but the first time it consistently hops to the end of the word. Is there a setting for this anywhere? |

6011 | Dashboard/Home Screen icons take up to 10 seconds to load after pressing the Home button | I have an issue where the Home Screen (dashboard?) icons can take over 10 seconds to load when I press the home key. After this happens once, the icons will stay there if I open a program and then press the home key again. But, after some time has passed, I'll see this issue again. Phone restart does not fix this issue. I don't have a lot of Services running and I keep things tidy with Advanced Task Killer. This question looks similar, but that user's icons never load. Mine will always load, it just takes way too long. Any thoughts are welcome. Phone: Motorola Droid; Android 2.2.1; No Root/Mod Apps: 1 Widget; 27 total icons Modes: Normal; Desk Charger Mode (whatever that's called) **EDIT:** I uninstalled my Task Killer and a couple other apps that I don't use anymore. The problem isn't as severe, but still occurs. I will try removing the 1 widget I have and perhaps install an alternate launcher. |

I want it to always show notifications, but only when I tell it to be "on". I know that I can change the notification settings, but that's annoying and clunky. If there is a good alternative email app that provides this functionaly and can sync with Exchange, that would work. |

The apps still show up in my app list in `Settings`->`Manage applications`. How do I refresh this list? Rebooting the phone doesn't help, and clicking on one of the entries causes the Settings app to crash. I even tried wiping the Dalvik Cache, but the missing apps are still listed. One special thing to note is that I had used Link2SD to link the apps onto a second partition on the SD card. This is different from the built-in Android method of moving to the sd card. Link2SD creates symlinks so that any app can be moved, and the SD card can be mounted on a computer without temporarily disabling the app (because they are on a second, unmounted partition). I don't know if using Link2SD changes my situation. Note that these uninstalled apps do _not_ show up in another application's app list, such as Titanium Backup.  |

Sometimes, it shows signal of being connected, but the data connection speed is too less and gets disconnected. Even Airdroid doesn't work, it should have work when being on same network. |

5332 | Is there a widget that shows free/busy status of one of my Google Calendar calendars? | I have, in my Google Calendar account, several calendars which have been shared by friends/family/co-workers.

5334 | Android 2.2 - Visited Links Color | I just got the 2.2 update for my T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (3.5mm) and while playing around with the browser discovered that, unlike with the previous version, visited html links on web pages are now purple.

23396 | How to check which app uses GPS on Galaxy Nexus? | I'm constantly seeing the Searching for GPS... icon in my status bar, and would like to check which app is trying to access my location. I checked the similar questions on the site and all suggested either Spare Parts or the test menu. However, on my Galaxy Nexus these are out of the question, since Spare Parts crashes with ANR when I try to access the battery stats (there's no `com.android.settings.battery_history.BatteryHistory` activity), and the test menu doesn't have the necessary menus. So, any other possibilities? |
33811 | How do I determine which app is accessing GPS in Jelly Bean | > **Possible Duplicate:** > How to check which app uses GPS on Galaxy Nexus? I have the same question as this one, except the answers provided do not work with Jelly Bean. The first answer requires an app that no longer exists - there is an app called Spare Parts+ but it does not provide GPS usage info. Using the `*#*#4636#*#*` code does take me to the android test mode, but it does not provide GPS usage info. Something I have installed or updated recently is initiating a GPS lookup every couple of minutes - the GPS symbol appears in the status bar. I have an associated battery drain, which may be caused by something else, however I want to eliminate the GPS polling as a source. I have looked at logcat, but the only PID that references the GPS is the android system pid, so this tells me that the GPS was accessed, but not which app triggered the lookup. I have been through some trial and error to figure out which app it is, but without any luck. I am looking for a more categorical way of determining which app is requesting GPS. This is on a Galaxy S2 running 4.1.2 |

Similarly if I were to then install a custom rom eg Paranoid Android, are the benefits gained from installing it then overshadowed or "lost" if I were to then install Nova launcher ? To clarify wouldn't the experience of Stock Android with Nova and Paranoid Android with Nova be very similar if not identical ? |
71721 | Custom GOKeyboard theme / template? (without using customization app) | I'd like to put a custom background on GOKeyboard. I saw it is possible to customize it a little bit using some on-device app that creates themes on the fly. But this is not helpful for me. I'd like to create myself a full featured theme (in photoshop?) and load it into go keyboard. Somehow like thirs parties that put them on the market do. I tried searching for this, could not find the structure I need, or where to place the files, or if there's need for any code. (but I found documentation on creating a go launcher ex theme. But I need for GO Keyboard. Anyone?) |

29823 | Chrome reopens previous tabs even after shutdown | On my Nexus 7 when starting Chrome it reopens the previous tabs. I can understand doing this as I switch from Chrome to another running app and then back to Chrome, but not if I've shut the app down, and certainly not if I've rebooted the device. Yet for some reason Chrome assumes that I must want to look again at the last thing I was looking at. Rather presumptuous. I would have thought there would be an option to turn that "feature" on or off, but I've not been able to find it. Is it possible to disable the opening of previously viewed tabs? |
29820 | Pinch-to-zoom in HTML emails | In the standard browser you can zoom in/out (by pinching or with the buttons.) But in the standard Mail app (at least in Android 2.3.7) it does not work when viewing an HTML email message. Is there a way to enable this? (Or is there a 3rd-party mail app that does?) |
29821 | Microphone "speaker mode" sensitivity with headphones plugged in? | In my car I have the headphone socket of my Galaxy S2 plugged into my car's auxiliary socket so that I can listen to music/podcasts whilst driving. This would also be useful for handsfree calls - except that when someone rings, I can hear their voice through the car speakers, but they can barely hear me. If I press the "speaker" button, then they can now hear me perfectly, but I can't hear them. Is there any way to have the microphone sensitivity of "speaker mode", but with incoming audio still going through the headphone socket? If not, does anyone know of any hands free alternatives without spending a fortune on a bluetooth hands free kit? |
29824 | Turn off phone by holding the power button? | I've been having a small case of my screen not turning on at times. It happens on a 1 out of 100 basis. Anyway, I can confirm that the phone did not shut down because I can take screenshots (via power button + volume down key) and hear the screenshot sound. However, the display remains turned off. What I found to be the fix is to remove the battery to force shutdown the phone and re-insert it and open again. That would have been an OK solution but my phone has 2 layers of battery cover so it's kinda tedious to do when the random screen problem occurs (especially if I'm outside or on the road). What I want to happen is that if I hold down the power button for some time (5 seconds maybe?), it will power off the device thus, saving me the trouble of having to remove and re-insert the battery. How do I make holding down the power button for some time turn off the phone? Phone is ST17i, runninh MiniCMSandwich Lite rom with RaGe kernel. |

12552 | How to get visual email and message notifications on lockscreen? | I am very new to Android. I tried searching in this forum and google in general without finding an answer. I would like to be able to see notifications on my unlock screen. For example, 3 unread gmail messages, 5 unread exchange messages, 1 new sms, 2 new voicemail. Is this possible? If this is not possible can I at least do it on my home screen? I have widgets for all these there, but they don't seem to show a little number on the icon with unread. I feel as though this is a no-brainer feature, but I just can' figure it out. |
12555 | How to switch sd cards when using a data2whatever (d2w) custom ROM? | I'm currently running MIUI XJ (Gingerbread 2.3.5) with d2w on my HTC Desire with the 4GB sd card it was shipped with, but as I found the joy of the occasional ROM-switch, I found myself running out of storage on the sd card, which was filling up with alternate roms, flashable updates for said roms, nandroid backups of different roms, titanium backups, miui backups and, well, the stuff I'd actually like to use (photos, music). So my question is: How can I safely replace an sd card with a bigger one, even if the original one is partitioned in a special way to make use of d2w? I realize I could simply partition the bigger sd card similarly to the original one, but what if I need a bigger sd-ext partition? (Which I, indeed, need for some Gingersense ROMs). Will the system simply accept the bigger partition or do I have to make a nandroid backup with the original sd card and reflash that backup once the bigger, partitioned sd card is mounted? Would the partitions remain untouched? Would there be any considerable loss if I boot the system with the partitioned sd card with an empty ext-partition? As you can see, I don't even really know what sort of data is stored there. EDIT: So, I did it. **My solution** (not optimal, but worked. Keep in mind: With the HTC Desire, you can't switch SD cards while the battery is in, so no "on the fly" way. Also, I have no proper card reader lying around.): 1. Backup of ALL the things (Nandroid backup, just in case, MIUI/Titanium Backup for apps+system settings (things stored on the sd-ext partition) and a full copy of the previous FAT32 partition) 2. Put the new SD card in the phone and partition it (I used 4EXTRecovery so I could do it in the phone and increased the sd-ext partition from 256 to 1024mb) 3. Mount the sd card on a computer, copy the contents of the old FAT32 to the new one (FAT32 partition should now be the same as before and it has your MIUI/TitaniumBackup on it) 4. Boot the system (may be slow since there is now an empty data partition), when the system is up, you can restore your backups via MIUI Backup and/or Titanium Backup. I used Google to sync contacts and messages etc were synced with MIUI Backup, if you are not running a MIUI then you can use SMS Backup+ for messages. 5. System is now the same as before, but the partitions are bigger :) **Recommended** solution I stumbled upon that seems easier to me: 1. Mount the sd card on a pc, open in the partitioning tool of your choice (I was told partition wizard would do the trick) 2. Clone the sd card as a whole 3. Apply that clone to the new sd card 4. Increase the partitions as you like 5. Put the new sd card in your phone. Should work exactly like before. |

50935 | What Could Cause System Apps to Run that Are Not Used | When testing a widget I created, I wanted to make sure that it uses as little CPU power as possible. After some research I downloaded Watchdog to use as a monitoring tool, which works great. When I finished my testing I set the CPU threshold at 10%, just curious to see what process would randomly go above that level. One that exceeds the 10% threshold on a daily basis, at least a couple times a day, is **`com.motorola.Dlna`**. I know what DLNA is, what it's used for, and how to set it up but I don't use it, nor do I have it set up on my phone. I spoke with a Motorola support analyst and asked why it would be running. The response I got was "it's possible you could have set it up without knowing it, maybe by an application that you downloaded but it's nothing to worry about". Needless to say the answer I got wasn't very helpful so I'm really just wondering what would cause this service to use so much CPU power randomly? Most of the time it's not being used, but when it is, it shows that it's using usually between 12.5% - 15% CPU power. Do applications really access/use this service without me ever actually going through and setting it up? |
7464 | Why is the HTC Legend Froyo ROM labelled as being for Vodafone? | I am currently using Optus and would like to upgrade to this ROM, but it is labelled as being a Vodafone ROM.
