1699 | Is there a way to easily record a phone conversation in-progress? | I do not own an Android device. I was thinking about getting one, and an important feature for me is the ability to record a phone conversation which is in progress - meaning, while I am in the middle of a conversation, I could touch a button which will save a two-sided audio recording of that conversation from the moment onward. I am aware that recording a conversation I am participating in without notifying the other members is illegal in some places - I have already checked this and have verified that it is _completely legal_ in my country. Is there is such a functionality in Android, through core features or available applications? **EDIT:** * I prefer a solution which does not notify the other side of the recording, though it's not a must. * I need a solution which works in any country. |
25731 | How can I record phone calls on Motorola Atrix 4G? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Is there a way to easily record a phone conversation in-progress? I'm using a Moto Atrix 4G (MB860) running Android 2.3.6 bought from AT&T, and have tried a wide range of call recording apps but have yet to find one that actually works on my device. I notice that some apps explicitly explain that they don't work on Moto phones. Is this a hardware problem? Can I do anything to make it work? I would like my phone to automatically record all incoming and outgoing calls, and save them in a common audio file type in the SD card or internal storage of the phone. I've search the website, but the posts I found about call recording are _neither specific to Atrix nor Motorola_ , which I believe are the key to the problem I currently have. (Despite that I bought the phone from the U.S., I live in a country where call recording is perfectly legal to the best of my knowledge.) |
5826 | How do I record all my phone calls? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Is there a way to easily record a phone conversation in-progress?

26917 | On it's own, my Verizon Droid Razr (recently with ICS), went into debug mode. How do I get it out of debug mode? | This evening I took my phone out of my pocket and the screen was on and it was in debug mode. I assume it is debug mode - there is a column of text right justified near the top of the screen that changes with time. When my finger touches the screen a vertical and horizontal line appear and track my finger movement and there is a trail left showing where I moved my finger. Along the top of the screen there are fields which display info about the finger movement. I am not a developer, but I assume this is debug mode. My question is: How can I get it out of debug mode? HELP!!! |
40899 | How to notice a phone is ringing when left in a bag? | I always carry my cellphone on me on vibrate, because I'm male and this works with my wardrobe. Many women I know carry the phone in their purse or other bag, and they often miss calls, not noticing the phone is ringing. At the same time, they don't want to have the ringer volume set very high, so that it's a nuisance to others. How can they notice the phone is ringing, when it is not on their person, and not loud? |

2885 | What is the difference between: Rooting, Jailbreak, ROM, Mod, etc.? | What is the difference between: * Unlocking the bootloader (prerequisite for doing many, though not all, other things below) * Rooting * Jailbreaking * ROM * NAND and Nandroid * Operating System * Mod (e.g. CyanogenMod) * Recovery (ClockworkMod, Amon Ra) * Custom Kernel (e.g. LeshaK's kernel) * Firmware * Driver * Over The Air (OTA) update * Fastboot * SIM unlocking * Flashing * SPL (Second Program Loader) (any other often-confused terms that I've missed?) |

24684 | What are the technical differences between bootloader, recovery, kernel and ROM? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > What is the difference between: Rooting, Jailbreak, ROM, Mod, etc.? I'd love a reference (or an explanation if anyone has the time) on what characterizes these different concepts, in what order they start and what role they play. I think I'm fairly certain of kernel and ROM, but the lines are a bit blurry when it comes to the bootloader and the recovery. Basically I have about ten questions related to this, but I think it would be best if there's just some pedagogical article somewhere that lays it all out :) All the results I've found on Google basically explain it as "when you choose boot into recovery it boots into CWM if that's installed" and that doesn't really help me to understand the purpose of the different parts and how they work. Thanks in advance! **edit** Some questions I feel wasn't answered in the linked thread: 1) The difference between bootloader and recovery 2) CM states that improper ROM flashing can brick a device, how? Shouldn't recovery be left intact? 3) Can you install a custom recovery (CWM) without unlocking bootloader on any device? 4) Is fastboot the same as recovery? 5) What component is "responsible" for the SIM lock? Why doesn't it go away completely if that part is removed? Thanks in advance for your patience :) |
68404 | What is the difference between rooting and unlocking the Boot Loader in reference to Android? | I have heard these two terms the most, whenever people talk about Android OS. One of them is Rooting or root access, and the other one is unlocking the Boot Loader. Are these two terms exactly the same ? If not, kindly let me know the differences. P.S I am a beginner to android, and already searched a lot on the google, but could not come to a conclusion. A specific answer would be really helpful. Thanks in advance. |

I've got Dad a Galaxy Nexus as Christmas present. Being the obsessive tinkerer that I am, I already loaded CM10.1 nightlies on it. But I don't want to take care of the phone for ever. He's a normal computer user, not exactly a noob in gadgets, so how do I explain rooting, custom recvory and ROMs in clear, non-jargon language? Last time I tried to explain, he stopped me at custom recovery and said he's better off using what I loaded on his Galaxy Ace. The problem with that approach is that it leaves him incapable of solving all the minor niggles that come with custom ROMs. Also, I live on campus (college) and troubleshooting online would be so much easier if he knows the basics. |
6183 | What do "root," "flash," and "ROM" mean? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > What is the meaning of "flashing a custom ROM"?

804 | Can I connect to WEP-secured MyWi network from iPhoDroid? | Yesterday, I installed Froyo on my iPhone 3G with iPhoDroid. I'm trying to connect to the WiFi using MyWi on my jailbroken iPhone 4 but the network isn't visible at all. The network is WEP secured. That's not a problem with Android is it? I see lots of unsecured networks around, but I'm at work and they're all through proxies anyway, so that wouldn't work. Anyone have any insight on this? I'm completely new to Android so this is exciting to me! |

My headphones have no volume control, and the nexus one is turned up to the max. I don't suppose there's any way to up this more? As it is now, I can't listen to podcasts while I'm on the bus/metro since the ambient noise drowns them out. Maybe I can talk to the city to see if they will lower the volume on their public transit systems! |
5271 | Why does my EVO Android phone screen keep turning on? | I have an HTC EVO and I can be sitting around doing nothing, when all of a sudden the screen comes on and stays on. I try to turn it off, but it keeps turning back on - sometimes after a second, sometimes after a few minutes. If I just leave it, it will not turn off by itself, as it would if I manually turned it on but didn't enter the password. This is killing my already horrendous battery life! I have killed almost all background processes except some of the ones by HTC that looked important. I have also turned off application refresh, wifi, blue tooth, tried rebooting ... even put it into Airplane mode. Arghhh! Nothing helps! I thought I hit pay dirt last week - I replaced the factory 1500mAh battery with a 3500mAh for obvious reasons. For a few days the auto-turn-on seemed to be cured but now it has started happening again. Any ideas how I can get this paper weight to be more obedient? Thanks, Victor |

5273 | How can I prevent my phone from using any kind of internet? | I have a weird plan and my phone went over its bandwidth usage this month... mostly just syncing up with Gmail, Twitter etc. So right now, every 5 minutes or so, my phone is telling me that it has spent 40 cents here and 30 cents there using up my prepaid money. I have done the following: * Turned off Wifi (my phone doesn't see any WiFi spots anyway right now) * Turned off all apps * Turned off syncing of data However its still dinging me here and there and I need my phone minutes to last until it automatically reloads in two days. I've noticed that I will kill certain apps and then I find out they are turned back on... and syncing even though I told the phone not to. Short of putting the phone on airplane mode (which I don't want to do because I'm expecting an important phone call - also my phone then becomes totally useless.), I can't seem to keep it from using the 3G network! |
41146 | Creating App and Swap partition for Android | I have got Karbonn A5+. I dont know how much ROM, RAM it exactly have. When I go to Settings > Applications > Manage Application it shows 191MB used, 11MB free. But, when I open Advanced Task Killer, it shows 220MB free. The same is shown when I go to System app, it shows: 220MB available. It also shows 48% used, 52% free. So I conclude that both apps show RAM+ROM clubbed, while Settings > Applications > Manage Application show only that for ROM. Thus according to System app, if 52% is 220MB, my phone is having ~419MB ROM+RAM. But it still have ~200MB ROM (out of which only ~10MB usually free) as shown in Settings > Applications > Manage Application. And phone has already started giving me "Low on space" warning and now I am not able to install any app. I have moved all possible apps to SD card using Apps2SD, but since am not yet rooted am not able to move some apps. Anyways now am deciding to root, install CyanogenMod for JellyBean (am stuck at Gingerbread :( ). But before that am deciding to buy 32 GB class 10 (to get better loading speed for apps moved on SD) MicroSD, partition it to have App partition of 4GB and a SWAP partition too since I think 419MB ROM+RAM is still small. I am trying to do it as explained here. It uses Link2SD and Swapper apps. * Will having SD card space dedicated for SWAP partition be a good decision? * Is partitioning this way a good idea at first place? * When I read reviews of Swapper many people give it good rating while some considerable number of people say it may brick your phone. What should I do? Am not at all experienced in rooting and MODing. But have read a lot of stuff to get me confident. My first obvious step will be to do NANDROID backup with CWM. But after using Swapper if I brick my phone (like as reviews say it just stuck at start screen), how can I restore from backup? * Also the tut asks to have FAT32 formatting for data partition and ext4 for App partition. Why is it so? What should be the ideal ones? * The screenshot of Link2SD asks for "File system of SD cards second partition". Why is **second** partition asked? |

51329 | Nexus 4 bricked by OTA upgrade | In early august, both my nexus 4 and my nexus 7 got the OTA upgrade. The nexus 7 one worked without any problems. The one for my phone actually bricked my phone. First it was stuck on the X-logo screen. I reflashed 4.2.2 and suddenly the phone had problems it never had before: random shutdowns, sudden locking of the SIM card, not booting unless plugged in. I also did all the wipes and factory resets Play support told me to do, and a factory reset and everything. I even replaced my SIM card and flashed 4.2.0 and it still has the same problems. I found a way to get 4.3 to get beyond the X screen, by flashing the radio back to an older version, but the above problems persist. Is there anything that isn't overwritten when you reflash an older version? (I'm thinking drivers or something like that) If so, what could it be? And how can I get them back to an older version? Since I voided my warranty (screen was broken and repaired by third party), I'm wondering if I can hold Google (or at least Android) responsible for breaking my phone... TIA |
40238 | Rooted, but su hangs | I've had my phone rooted and flashed/reset/reflashed it several times in the last couple years. However, I recently reflashed to the stock image found here. When I try to use SU apps, it prompts to allow, I say yes, it seems to proceed as I'm used to, but nothing happens. So I open up trusty terminal and get a $. I type `su`, prompt/approve, but it just hangs. I never get a #. No error, no permission denied, nothing. I'm assuming this is the underlying cause of why SU doesn't seem to work for anything. I've checked and confirmed that setuid is set: `-rwsr-sr-x root root ..... su` So I'm kind of at a loss here. Any help would be appreciated. |

50874 | Changing (Forcing) Screen Resolution on OUYA | OUYA doesn't provide any built-in (UI-based) way to change or force a resolution. This is a problem for some (like me) who have no HDMI devices, and use HDMI to DVI adapters, or simply have devices which do not correctly display the best resolution. (For clarity, OUYA defaults to 640x480 if it can't display a higher resolution). To clarify, I'm using a 20-something inch "normal" monitor (no HDMI input), so I see very pixelated writing that's hard to read in the OUYA menu. Some games, like Final Fantasy, appear to display decently though. This XDA Developers thread found two methods that works for some OUYA users. It's not clear if these actually change the resolution though. **Method 1:** 1. `cat modes` displays all the possible display modes. (`cat mode` displays the current mode.) 2. `echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/device/enable` 3. `echo (videomodefrommodesfile) > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/mode` 4. `echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/device/enable` **Method 2:** Run `am display-size (resolution)`. For example, `am display- size 1080x720` should change the (virtual?) display size to 1080x720 px. But other users in the same thread report that this causes other display issues, like shrinking the display. Is there a consistent way to change the display resolution? |
66968 | Map displays incorrect data. Maps appear as fragmented tiles | When I zoom in beyond a certain level, the map appears in square tiles. Some of these tiles are correct, and others are not. The roads and landmarks appear correctly in Google Maps, but the topography layer looks pretty randomly filled in. In another app called Mapdroid, the incorrect tiles appear to be repeats of correct tiles. This occurs on both my Digno ISW11K and Casio IS11CA (firmware version 2.3.3). I first noticed the problem (for both phones) when I was recharging via my car's cigarette lighter while refreshing map data. I'd be totally happy if I could just somehow reset all the map data. . . Does anybody else have this problem? Thanks for any help/ideas. |

So now I am getting recurring Force Closed messages after booting, and can't get through to the settings menu to switch back to Dalvik. So before I wipe everything and spend hours setting up my phone from scratch, is there a way to manually change back to Dalvik from the recovery menu?

12456 | Wheel behaviour for HTC Desire (setting alarm) | A couple of days ago I was setting my alarm on my HTC Desire (rooted and flashed with InsertCoin) when I realised a really cool behaviour with the wheel whilst selecting the 'minutes'. Basically, no matter how quickly I flicked it would stop at 00,15,30,45. ie. it would be scrolling fairly fast, but would jolt to a halt and stop at '15' Now, I didn't really think about it that much, other than "wow this is cool, don't remember this before" However, now I can't seem to reproduce the same behaviour - when I flick the wheel it just scrolls and eventually slows to a halt at any old number... Just wondering, did I somehow do something special to trigger the "smart scroll"? Has anyone else seen similar behaviour with the scrolling wheel? |
12450 | Recovery boot not working properly - cannot select items | I am working towards installing CM7 on my HTC Incredible and have hit a snag. When using 'Reboot into Recovery' from ROM Manager v4.3.3.0 the phone reboots into Recovery, but the menus do not function properly. I can scroll up and down with volume control, but pushing power to select an option blanks the menu and takes the watermarked Icon for ROM Manager at center of display and makes it solid with nothing else displayed. Action does not happen. If I press power again, it toggles back to showing the menu and I can scroll up and down, but no action can be selected. I have to take battery out to boot again. I thought it might be due to doing this first time with USB connected to computer since install guide states: Known Issues * Shutting down the phone with USB plugged in will start ClockworkMod Recovery in an unreliable mode. * Shutting down the phone and then plugging in USB will also start ClockworkMod Recovery in an unreliable mode. * The HTC Battery charge icon is replaced by ClockworkMod. Charge with the phone running in standby mode. But upon retry without USB plugged in same result. I tried 'Flash Alternate Recovery' to "RA_GNM Recovery v2.2.1" in Rom Manager and it gets: "An error occurred while flashing your recovery." I tried 'All ClockworkMod Recoveries' to move back to v3.0.0.7 and then back to v3.0.0.8 and it still fails in same fashion. Phone appears to be rooted properly, but I cannot do this last step. Please suggest how to get Recovery to function properly. |
48845 | Opening links from app in Google Chrome Incognito or Firefox Private Browsing mode | When I tap on a link in any app it shows me installed browsers on my HTC One X.

48846 | How to change android primary google account | During the "in-app purchase" I am unable to switch the Google account I would like to use for "in-app purchase". Currently, in order to change the primary Google account on Android operating system, we have the following ways: * Perform factory reset on our devices. * Remove other Google accounts, leave only one Google account. * If we perform factory reset, we will lose all data that we have not backed up or unable to do backup. And, we have to re-install the applications that we need to use. If we choose to remove other Google accounts from our systems and leave only one Google account, if there are applications installed from Google Play Store by using the Google account that we want to remove from our systems, then we will not be able to remove the account from the system unless we remove those applications. However, sometimes we may forget which account we used to install an application from Google Play Store. My question is that is there any other way to switch between the accounts? |
48842 | Superuser app won't grant root acess anymore | I tried to do a backup a few days ago but TB just stucked on the "Asking root permissions" screen. And now, every app that needs root access doesn't work properly because root access is denied. My superuser app is updated, and I also tried to reset its user data but it's still not working.

56118 | How can I recover lost Contacts on Galaxy GT-NT7000. Contacts and Dialer App became very slow and battery runs down fast, | This is a RAM issue and lost contacts issue (contacts not saved under Google). The log of text messages with all contacts, since start, is all, still there. My Android version is 4.2.1. I have had 3.5 GB available on the internal storage and only 170 MB on the device memory; I was under the impression that pictures and images since they are stored at the internal storage, they do not affect the processing (is that called RAM same as in PCs or not?) speed, but that was wrong. I have moved all pictures and videos from phone to my PC to make more space but after having moved all the pictures/videos, on day before I have lost all my Phone Contacts! The speed of navigating and of using the dialer and of Contacts (these apps were worse affected in terms of speed) and even the battery life has improved a lot, yet I still need to find more space (by emptying the SIM card), but I await to take the phone to a repair centre to be seen first. 400 or so contacts were saved under 'Phone Contacts'' and they are all gone. Since 350 of my Contacts were saved primarily under Google (Gmail), I have not lost all Contacts but another I called Samsung Support service and they advised me to visit a Geek Squad Carphone warehouse which is authorised to service Samsung-Android devices. Should I do this first to be on the safe side, or should I download the Dr. Fone for Android app and try to bring back the Contacts? Does anyone have experience with Dr Fone? http://www.wondershare.net/disk-utility/recover-contacts-from- samsung.html?gclid=CJTkyPLpwboCFfHKtAodpngArA |
78041 | How do I add a widget to my lock screen? | I am running a fully stock Android 4.4.4 Nexus 5, with Nova (Premium) Launcher. Since I first bought this device, I have heard, read, and been told that adding widgets to the lock screen is possible, as long as it is enabled in settings. Well, it is, but I can't figure out for the life of me how to actually add them. Sorry if this is a Super Newb question, I've Googled, Binged, etc... With no luck whatsoever. The only thing I seem to ever come across are instructions on how to enable them, which as I stated, I have done. |
57249 | The Mystery Of The Disappearing App Icons | If I try to rearrange the shortcuts to app icons on my homescreen, sometimes they disappear. It happens to all apps, bookmarks, and folders, too: even stock apps, like Play Store. I have an LG optimus s that I got about a year ago, new. I'm running 2.3.3. Gingerbread. Details : app icons often reappear in folders after reboot, sometimes without reboot. I'll say again, for clarity, that this only happens when I attempt to rearrange the icons : no spontaneous disappearances! I use my phone almost 24/7, as I do not own a tablet or a computer with wifi, so I like everything to be in it's place. |
57248 | Note 3 "Security information" notification | I've just set up a new Galaxy Note 3 and I keep getting the following notification: > ### Security information > > An application attempted to access system on your device without > authorisation. This attempt has been blocked.  I have no idea what's causing this as there is no application listed as the culprit. Some forums point to disabling Knox as a solution, but I've done that and still get the same. (Anyway, the phone only includes a link to download the full app, so I doubt that would have been it.) I also know that I can hide the notification for 30 days, but that's just hiding the problem, not fixing it. What is causing this to keep popping up and what can I do to fix it? |

51838 | Using Popen to invoke adb sendevent | I am running into a strange issue, running `adb shell sendevent x x x` commands from commandline works fine, but when I use any of the following: `subprocess.Popen(['adb', 'shell', 'sendevent', 'x', 'x','x'])` `subprocess.Popen('adb shell sendevent x x x', shell=True)` `subprocess.call(['adb', 'shell', 'sendevent', 'x', 'x','x'])` They all fail - the simulated touch even that works in a shell script does not work properly when called through python. Furthermore I tried `adb push` the shell script to the device, and using `adb shell /system/sh /sdcard/script.sh` I was able to run it successfully, but when I try to run that commandline through python, the script fails. What's even stranger, is that he script runs, but for example, it does not seem to execute the command `sleep 1` half way through the script, `echo` commands work, `sendevent` commands don't seem to work. Doesn't even seem possible, but there it is. How do I run a set of `adb shell sendevent x x x` commands through python? |
16229 | Android App to read current time out loud? | I am looking for an Android app that would read out loud the current time.

16223 | Can't sync my new Nexus S to Google Calendar | First-time smartphone owner. I unboxed my new Nexus S and added my gmail account to it. So far, so good -- it sync'd my contacts perfectly. But I'd never used Google Calendar (and in retrospect I think that's crucial). So I signed on via my computer, went to Calendar, and set up a calendar with two events (one repeating, one not). Then I went back to my phone and I find that in the calendar app I have no calendars. There are no events showing and I can't add events ("You have no calendars."). Moreover, in the Accounts & sync settings, under my gmail account, there is no Calendar item, just Books, Contacts, gmail. I've waved every dead chicken I've heard of at this one, to no avail. The list of sync items won't grow a "Sync Calendar" item. To wit: 1) Obvious first choice, I thought. Power off the phone, power back on. Nope. 2) Read the FAQ Google Support FAQ 2a) Turned the auto sync off and on. Nope 2b) No notifications. 2c) Don't have a 2-step authentication. 2d) Cleared Calendar Storage data, power off, power back on. Nope. 3) Power off the phone, change my gmail password via web, power back on, re- authenticate. Nope. 4) Go to Accounts & sync, create a new google account, create a calendar in it, power down the phone, power back on. The new account has a Sync Calendar item that works, but not my real gmail account. 5) Go to Applications, all, and delete the data for "all the Google apps", power down the phone, power on. Nope. A caveat on this one, I don't know exactly what "all" means, so I hit Calendar & its storage again, Books, Contacts, gmail, everything whose name began with Google,... see: Related Question Ok, different device, but otherwise the description seemed a close match. Nope. So... Any other suggestions? |
38769 | Where is the music folder Android 2.3 | I have a file exploring program, but I can't find the folder with my google play music. I used google play to download music to my phone (not the SD).

19673 | Where does Google Music store the “offline tracks”? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Where does Google Music store offline songs? I have about 8 gigs of music stored within Google Music, and I recently got sick of streaming (and risking data charges), so I painstakingly allowed it to be stored offline. So my fresh 16 gig SD card now only had 8 gigs left. Then, I flashed a new rom, thinking that all my music would still be there cached (or however it works), but I was wrong. When I click "show offline tracks only" within the Google Music app, it shows nothing, yet my SD card still only has 8 gigs of space left. So, my question is, where are these offline tracks stored on my SD card so I can go in and delete them, to free up space so I can back them all up again? Thanks! And also, why won't the app recognize that there is offline music stored on my SD card after a new rom is flashed? I figured that data would be untouched across roms. |

53286 | How to revoke the authorization to view my Google account for an app (e.g. Feedly)? | I recently installed Feedly on my phone. It asked me the authorization to access my Google account. Now I want to revoke this authorization, but I don't know how to do this. I searched on my Google account (via web) under the _Security_ part, but Feedly is not listed there. I have an Android 4.3 stock ROM and, if important, my Google account is not a Google+ account. |
49088 | Change the Nexus 4 voice dialer | When I double tap the main button of my Bluetooth headset a voice dialer pops up. I'm not sure what app is this voice dialer (I couldn't find it on the apps list), all I know is that it's slow to load and works poorly. I'd like to replace this app with the standard voice search of the Google Search app. Is there a way to achieve this? Rooted options welcome. |
65538 | Orphaned media files (alarm sounds etc); exist but not present in media database? | On my SGS3 (running CM 10.1.3) I have a very odd problem where audio files have gone missed from the media database, although the file is obviously still on the phone (and I can't find it with ES Explorer or even manually looking through the SQLite database). Example:  See how the alarm sound is "30348" for that alarm? It should be a properly named audio file (frustratingly I can't remember exactly what it's called). Assuming that was the media file's unique ID for the media database, I used SQLite Debugger (from the Play Store) to search through external.db -- there's a gap in the entry IDs where 30348 - ending just before that then jumping to the 31xxx range. When the alarm goes off, the audio file still plays! There's also another couple of alarms set with orphaned alarm audio files... I've even tried leaving the alarm going, switching to a Terminal window and running lsof (as SU) to see if I can find the open media file being played, with no success. This happened for several of my alarms and notifications recently - I managed to choose new audio for most of them but some of them (including, I believe, ones where I used ES File Explorer to select them, and not the native Media Storage selection) are no longer available to select. I know if I choose another media file, I won't be able to choose or find this one again. Is there a way to detect where the file is? Are there any backups held of the SQLite databases which I could look through? I'm at a loss. |
65534 | HTC One is not charging | I have HTC One since few months. It worked fine, this is great device in my opinion. Today my battery ran out of energy. I plug in the charger, and there is no reaction over 30 minutes. It has happening for the first time. Any solution? |
49083 | Can't attach photos to tweets | I'm using the official Twitter app on my Droid X2. Whenever I select a photo from the gallery, it waits for a few seconds on the Edit Photo screen, then returns to the Compose screen without attaching the photo. Why is this happening and how can I fix it? |
65537 | App for recording lectures | I am a mathematics graduate student looking for ways to improve my note taking. I have been experimenting with recording lectures with my Galaxy S5 (using Coji, which is a great app), but I am now on the market for something a bit more specific. I want to be able to start the recording at the beginning of lecture, and take pictures of the board throughout class without stopping the recording. Some of the mathematics being taught is pretty hairy, and it takes some time staring at pictures of the board and at your notebook to get it. I would also like to be able to split the hour and a half long recorded file into smaller segments afterwards, say segments going over this or that proof. An app that puts this all into individual sessions (like Coji) would be a plus as well. Does anyone have any familiarity with an app that has this functionality? I haven't had much luck finding something that hits all the key points. |

81708 | Samsung Ace 3 - S7270 - Wifi and recovery mode problem | My Samsung Ace 3 does not detect any Wifi networks, and it cannot connect to `Kies`. * My wifi network is fine, and there are lots of wifi networks in the area, but my SGA3 does not detect any of them (my other phone does). * Kies does not detect my phone. It does detect other phones but not this one (same USB cable, same usb port,..). * I can access the android file system using windows explorer (phone + sd card). * I tried to go to download mode (Volume Up, Home, power off): it just shows an Android logo with an open chest with a keyboard. It stays that way for few minutes and the it proceeds to normal booting. (I tried pressing few buttons but it didn't work)  * I went to Factory mode (Volume down, Home, power off): it had a bunch of tests I can run, when I ran the Wifi test it gives me a "blank" mac address:  * What can I do? Please advise. |

2509 | How do I change the default SMS application on my HTC Hero? | I recently got completely fed up with the built in Messages (SMS) application and switched it out for Chomp (also looking at Handcent, haven't decided on one yet). I want to use the "Messages" icon though, as well as treat the new app as the default SMS program. I know about "Manage Applications" and clicking the "Clear Defaults" button for the app. But the "Clear Defaults" is disabled for the Messages app and it says that no defaults are set. I read on someone else's post that their AT&T provider had somehow hardcoded this as the default app and they couldn't change it. So... Can they really do that? Is that why my HTC Hero doesn't let me clear the default? Is there a way around that? |
81700 | Help Needed. Cam/PC link | Hello fellow enthusiasts, I am in need of help and would be very thankful to anyone who can take a few minutes and help me solve this issue. Here is my problem. I would like to open a Youtube channel and I want to have a facecam in an upper corner(you know, like gaming channels usually do while gaming) but have no camera. What I do have is my Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. Please tell me(with a decent explanation) if there is a possible way to record videos with my phone but **save it directly on the PC hard drive** so I can later use it when editing. Saving it on my phone and then moving it on the PC later is not an option. Already tried IP CAM and other similar apps but I am not satisfied with the results. Thank you in advance... |
64480 | How big of a speed difference will be noticed with a 100-200 MHz overclock? | I am going to overclock my 600 MHz to around 700-800+. Nothing too big of a jump, and don't need any help either. The question I'm concerned about is what kind of performance does this slight speed increase yield? Will it make any big difference that can be noticed? Note that this is simply overclocking the CPU and changing **nothing else** with my configuration in idle. I have heard some argue that raising clock speed alone doesn't really guarantee better performance, since microarchitecture and bus speeds are what determines ultimate performance. For example, on Super N64 emulator I am getting like 7 frames per-second running Super Mario 64 on my current 600 MHz. Will the increase make any immediate difference? How can this be properly estimated by incremental clock speed, etc.? Will some apps run faster, will more background apps do their job better, will I execute/boot faster, etc.? Basically, I want to know what to expect within the range of aforementioned clock speed increase. |
81705 | Missing "move to SD" on HTC Desire 310 | So, I bought this phone some time ago, an HTC Desire 310, which should have 4GB of internal memory, of which 2GB actually available to the user. On the phone I also installed an 8GB SD card for picture and similar. However, recently I keep getting "not enough space" when I try to update some of the bigger apps I have installed from Google Store, even if there are about 250 MB free. I have tried cleanin the caches, so regaining some 50 MB, but still "insufficient space". I also tried to move the apps to the SD card, but it would seem that the version of android here installed, some custom 4.2.2, **does not allow moving apps to SD**. How can I then solve such a problem? Is there a way to restore the missing "move to SD" option? |
2501 | Force volume buttons to always change Media Volume | I want my phone to be on "Vibrate" mode about 99% of the time. I've found that every time I hit the volume buttons on the side of my Evo, it's either accidental (and I don't want the phone to either go silent mode or ringer mode), or I was trying to control the media volume. Is there a way to force the phone into interpreting every volume button press as a media volume change, and not a ringer volume change? |

46501 | How to put a ROM on read-only /sdcard, while adb shell not working (HTC One X) | I've been searching my ___ off for two days now to find a solution for my problem, but I can't find one working for me. What I do have right now: * NO working ROM (I believe because of a failed atempt to revert to a backup in CWM) * Access to my bootloader (unlocked through HTCDev) * Access to my recovery (Which is the latest CWM) * Fastboot/adb working * Phone boots upon the HTC logo screen * NO ROM zipfile on the SD-Card (I accidentilly deleted that, I still hate myself for that) * I've managed to push to ROM file into both `/data` and `/system`, which (of course) isn't usefull to flash from because they don't show up in CWM. What I've tried: * Reverting to a Nandroid backup, I've 2 on the sdcard. Both don't pass the part where `/system` is being restored. * `adb shell` to push files, or mount the SD card, does not work. First I had the error saying '--exec /system/bin/sh failure: file or dir not found (2)'. I managed to push the `sh` file into system, (and I believe into `/system/bin`), and the error changed to '[...] No directory (20)' * `adb push <ROM.zip> /sdcard/<ROM.zip>`; doesn't work because `/sdcard` is read-only. * In CWM I can't mount as USB storage, is says something about a file which can't be found. * TWRP recovery doesn't work on my device, I can touch whatever I wan't, the only button responding is the power button, which causes a locked recovery, which I can't unlock. (You need to swipe for that, which my phone seems to ignore). * I've read almost every topic on XDA and whatever Google could give me, but most solutions somewhere relied on the `adb shell`, or pushing into the `/sdcard`, or simply assume I still can mount as USB storage. :( Does anyone have any suggestions left on howto get a ROM into the `/sdcard` so I can flash it? I would be thanking you forever! Thanks in advance! |
52564 | How can I unlock my HTC One V locked by 3 (UK Carrier, www.three.co.uk)? | I have a HTC One V which is provided by 3 (www.three.co.uk) under contract. I recently bought a Nexus 4 from Google Play because of the price drop, and I'm using my 3 SIM in the Nexus which is working fine. I want to sell my old One V and know that I can do it a lot easier if the device is unlocked so it can be used on any network. After looking around online, cellunlocker.net quotes me $14.99 for an unlock code and Three themselves quotes me £15. I've heard from some friends that they were able to get their phones unlocked for free, if so, how would I go about doing this? I'd rather not fall victim to a marketing scam to get a code that I could get for free. |
68100 | Set different default location for apps and media | My phone has the following storage devices: * **Internal storage** \- Internal storage for the OS and non-movable apps **(1GB)** * **Phone storage** \- Integrated SD card **(1GB)** * **SD card** \- Removable SD card I'd like to configure my phone so I can move all movable apps to **Phone storage** but still keep all my media (donwloads, music, camera images...) on the larger **SD card**. When I set the default write disk to **Phone storage** , it stores images on my that, but if I set it to **SD card** it saves everything, including apps and all other android crap, to my removable **SD card** and when I unplug it, half the phone breaks. Is there a way to make my phone store all media and stuff like that on the **SD card** and apps and other system stuff on the **Phone storage**? |
