49533 | closed ports wifi problem | I have these following issues : 1) wifi connects but the signal bars stay grey 2) I can open and search apps in market but when I try to download them , it says "waiting for network" 3) facebook does not sync, and the app says "no network" after some googling I found that google syncs through ports 5228-5230, which are closed in my router. I have no idea how to open these ports. Is there an on-phone solution to this ? my system is Micromax A116, NaturewizHD rom, jellybean 4.2.1 ( or 4.2.2 ? ) |

21644 | Archos external USB Keyboard | I recently bought a case for my Archos 101 9G Turbo, which has a built-in USB keyboard, but I can not make it work by simply connecting the usb cable from the keyboard either the micro USB port (with and adapter) or the normal USB port. The tablet shown in the photo is not the Archos, but it is right to illustrate the example.  As you can see, the case has an USB cable coming out of the keyboard. I updated the tablet firmware to the new ICS 4.0 so maybe it is a drivers problem and I haven't found the solution on the Archos forums. My approaches are: 1. The keyboard works because I plugged it into my computer. 2. The tablet USB also works because I plugged in an USB hub with a LED screen and it received energy (both via micro usb and via normal usb activating the 3G option). I read that maybe it is a power consuption problem because when the keyboard is plugged in the built-in lights (for example, the upper case key) don't work. I have also tried to plug in a mouse and nothing happens. I wonder if anyone else had this problem and how he solved it. Should I use a bluetooth keyboard? |

21649 | All portrait pictures are upside down | All pictures that I take in portrait mode with the stock camera app are upside down. I assume this is because when I take them I still hold my phone like a camera, not like a mobile phone. I could use Camera 360 which has the option to adjust the orientation. It takes a couple of seconds to start up and is generally too bloated for my taste, though. Is there either a way to fix the orientation in the stock app or a more lightweight alternative that has this option? |

58021 | How to get rid of update notifications for a given app in Google Play Store? | ### General question I have an app X installed on my device in version Y. I don't want to update it to any newer version (Y+z) for some reason. Still, the _Google Play Store_ app always lists updates for X, which keeps me from a simple "update all". My question, put to a single sentence: > **How to hide updates for X permanently from the "available updates" list?** * * * ### Specific examples First, I know there are alternatives as e.g. the AppBrain Market App, which can handle this quite well (skip this update, skip all future updates). I prefer a "generic solution", which does not depend on a 3rd party's market app. Second, I know that Titanium Backup includes a "Market doctor", which can be used to disconnect an app from _Google Play_. However, in my specific case that only worked for a few hours: I disconnected _GTalk_ , as I don't want it replaced by _Hangouts_. The update notification disappeared for a few hours, then it was back. No idea what restored the "link". Third, just to make sure: I'm _not_ talking about the "auto update" feature as discussed e.g. in How to enable Play Store auto-update for just a few apps?. I was rather hoping for something close to Does the google play store not provide updates for frozen apps?, but without the need to "freeze" the app in question (which I still want to use, but in the version installed, not in a "future version" available). Fourth: No, uninstalling the app in question is no option here, though it would perfectly hide any future updates from being displayed :) Nor is "freezing", as the app is used regularly. Fifth: There is a related question for my GTalk example: Do apps included in the gApps zip get updated via Google Play? However, I want the opposite: No update. * * * It might very well be that "Google Apps" (and other pre-installed apps) are handled in some specific way, and restore their "market links" themselves somehow. For this case, my question includes: How to prevent that from happening? * * * ### Update There's a thread at XDA discussing the very same issue. Until recently, a work-around for "user installed apps" was to uninstall them and then sideload the `.apk` – but even that stopped working. Well, re-signing the `.apk` with a different key _might_ work for user-apps. But both would fail for pre- installed apps (can't sideload them to override; different signature would refuse that install completely). Moreover, there's an issue filed on this by some "joel.bou..". Not hard to guess, though blanked out: that would be Joël Bourquard. If it's really him, then that's really an issue (for those who don't know: Joël is the dev behind _Titanium Backup_ ). Let me quote from the issue: > For the record: in the Android Market days it was possible to "Attach" or > "Detach" apps (on rooted devices) with a system tool such as Titanium > Backup. But nowadays (with the Google Play Store app) this has become nearly > impossible to do, because the complete app list seems to sync from Google's > servers and the user has no control over that. Which explains why detaching with apps like _Titanium Backup_ is no longer permanent. And I'm afraid I've asked the impossible. But I thought the same in the past with other questions, and surprisingly got solutions here. So I do not yet give up hope on this one! |

13311 | How to increase call log archive to longer than 30 days? | Is it possible to increase the time length covered by call history records? I think it's currently fixed to 1 month, older entries will be deleted by the log rotator. Is this hard-coded? I know there are some utilities exist to backup / archive call logs, however archiving takes the functionality away from the dialer history. So I take archiving methods under another topic, for an even longer or a permanent call history. Info: Using Samsung Galaxy S, not rooted, I can root if needed. |
13310 | How can I force-link a Google contact with a Facebook profile? | Back when my HTC Desire had its stock Sense, there was an option to link Facebook accounts to Google contacts, by selecting them from the Facebook friends list. This created fields for my contacts such as: <HTCData> <Facebook>id:02394985720/friendof:2103910923|id:123768123/friendof:09812387</Facebook> </HTCData> Now, my phone is on CyanogenMod 7. I've added a Facebook account under Synchronization settings, but it seems it only matches contacts who have the same name as their Facebook counterpart. Those who are matched get a Facebook profile link:  The other ones aren't linked. Therefore: **How can I force link a Google contact with a Facebook profile?** This would allow me to link contacts even if their names are different. I'm aware of this question: how to link contact with facebook, gmail etc?, but there is no "Join" option for me, and it isn't really answered as well. I'm also aware of SyncMyPix. |

Now if I Click on Install of any application on my PC, I can see the same application downloading on my phone's notification bar. I saw the application 100% downloaded. And I wait for the application to be installed. Of course after downloading the application my phone will automatically installs the application. We need to watch thats it.

62327 | How to keep the screen from going blank or locking for particular application | Edited question: Google Navigate app does have the logic to keep the screen from locking or backlight from switching-off, but a corporate BYOD software suite, I've had to install as my employer's policy, seems to lock-screen if an 'unknown application' is keeping screen unlocked/lit with no other activity detected (touch mostly!), after a timeout. Navigate is not on this software's goodbooks... So I was wondering if there is any app that can help me keep the backlight on and avoid the screen locking for google navigate ? I am on Android JB 4.2 if that matters. |

11801 | Display timout resets to 15 seconds occasionally | Hi on my SGT the display timout resets to 15 seconds occasionally. I can't reproduce this behavior but it seems that this reset happens at every reboot at least and sometimes when connecting/disconnecting the powersupply. Can someone tell me how to have this setting fixed again at 10 minutes? If it helps, the phone is rooted, but I am not sure if this problem occurred already before root. At least unrooting did not help. Also I have my battery saving software let the settings back to default and then deinstalled, did not help either. |
14555 | How can I recover the files in LOST.DIR on my SD card, and what are they? | I've always had a LOST.DIR folder on my external SD card, which until now has been empty. Today my phone complained that my SD card was damaged and wouldn't mount it, so I pulled it out and looked at it on my computer. There's now a `70237` file inside LOST.DIR which is 128 MB. It starts with something like "e<MSWIN4.1", seemingly to indicate that it's a dump of a Windows 98 FAT boot sector (which makes no sense). What did Android dump here and and why? (I think I may have disconnected my phone from my PC yesterday without ejecting the drives first, so that might be the "why", though it was from Windows XP and not Windows 98.) Is there a simple way to recover the information in this file? |
61736 | Lost.Dir....music keeps disappearing | I recently got a new phone, so I inserted the card into it without formatting it first. I had about 3000 songs and about 75 videos on the card. Once inserted, the phone read all of my files without any problems. Day 3 of having the new phone, I woke and and discovered all of my videos and a HUGE number of my songs were missing. I put all of the songs back onto the sd card (well all the ones that I knew were missing). To make a long story short: every time I set up a playlist of music on my phone, I check `LOST.DIR` and discover a lot of songs have been stored there. I recently formatted my card and put all 3000+ songs on there and set up another playlist and once again, it removed some of my music. What is going on there, and what can I do to fix this? |
35367 | My device is getting slow, apps start misbehaving/crashing. What can I do? | Everything was working fine for a long time. But suddenly the device is getting slower than usual (e.g. apps react slowly when starting an action -- like the RSS reader takes "ages" to open an article). Also, several apps start crashing: force-closes as well as unexpected restarts. Sometimes this even involves some automatic reboot of the device. Is there anything I can do, besides doing a factory-reset? Preferably it should work on un-rooted devices. Remark: not all described problems may occur together, so on one device e.g. there might be no automatic reboot involved. Question remains the same, nonetheless. |
21773 | Why does my Samsung Galaxy S keep crashing/slow performance? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > My device is getting slow, apps start misbehaving/crashing. What can I do? I have a Samsung Galaxy S which I've had for less than a year now. It has been working fine until the last couple of weeks, when I've noticed the performance slowing down. I don't use many apps, but lately I've downloaded a few games and whatnot. One particular recent issue is that whenever I access the keypad to call someone, it closes down automatically without letting me finish typing out the number. Other problems include: mobile internet crashes systematically every other night (when I use it the most); the FB app force closes automatically and since FB is an integral part of Zynga games, my Words with Friends is almost inaccessible because of FB crashing. Anyone else with similar problems? I know HTC issues an automatic software update, but why haven't I heard of anything for Samsung? Any help would be appreciated. |

I figure using redir would work, but my lack of deep *unix knowledge is and has been a struggle. Google hasn't been of much help in this regard, having only guides on Linux platforms with full package explorers and no (from what I've found) guides on doing any of this from a command line without apt-get. So, even though I'm only trying to install redir for now, I'd like a good place to go to understand how binary installation is done, specifically for Android. |

59772 | How can I root my HTC One for T-Mobile using ADB? | I want to use ADB. FastBoot isn't working on my OS X machine. ./fastboot devices lists nothing. ./adb devices shows my device I downloaded SuperSu from the Google Play store but it says it I had to manually root my phone if I am running 4.3 (which I am).

40916 | Unlock Screen with ADB Android 4.2 | Previously with Android 4.1, doing something like: adb shell input keyevent 82 #(KEYCODE_MENU) would unlock the screen at first boot and would then allow further commands to launch applications and have them displayed on the screen, etc. With 4.2, within 10s of boot, the lockscreen dims to black. Issuing the same ADB command no longer works and the screen remains blank. If I manually press the menu key, this brings the screen back on, and I can then issue the keyevent to unlock the screen. Any ideas how I can bring the display back up from ADB and unlock the screen from there? Thanks |

46609 | Unable to access Google Play | I have a Samsung Galaxy S Duos, and ever since I bought my cell phone, I am unable to access the Google Play Store due to the error message: > Authentication is required. You need to sign in to your Google Account. I had signed in my Google account already and have used it on my phone with other apps, like Talk, Gmail and etc. I have tried clearing the account and re-entering it, wiping out all the data and re-building a new account, and other possible solutions, but still my problem is there. My one possible guess is that it is due to the country I live in. It may be that Google has put some sanctions on my country, Iran. How can I get Google Play Store to work on my phone? |
49657 | How to restore files on SD Card that was protected by Vault app? | I changed my Android mobile phone from one carrier to another. I installed Vault app from the Google Play store, and placed the old SD Card from the previous phone into this new phone. After installing the vault software in the new phone, I am unable to restore data (photos, videos) from _old_ SD card. What might be the reason for this? Is there any way I can recover the files from my old SD card, which was protected by the Vault app. |
12861 | MIUI ROM English Version for Samsung Galaxy S | MIUI ROM is available in Chinese for Samsung Galaxy S. (There is an english site as well, but it doesn't list Galaxy S) After the install, according to the docs, I get this on the screen:  Will I be able to change the language to English and continue to use the phone without any chinese interaction or should I use a custom mod? |
12866 | Default Music Player randomly playing while headphones are plugged in | This is _INCREDIBLY_ annoying. While listening to music, the headphone will somehow trigger an unplug event (the connection is loose and very bad apparently). The default player will start to play, and sometimes it will just keep playing and pausing rapidly. Sometimes, Pandora will also constantly play and pause music. This is so frustrating it makes me just want to smash my phone to pieces for the junk it is. What can be done? I have used this answer here, but it doesn't fix the problem _while_ playing music. The only way I can hope to currently listen to music on my phone is to make sure the connection from the headphone (any headphone) isn't disturbed. My phone basically doesn't play music well at all any more which means no more Pandora/internet radio. **What can/should I do?** I am using a Droid X with the latest update 2.3.3. I believe this problem has been happening for a while. I bought the phone in October and it worked without this kind of problem for about 2-4 months. Am I the only one with this bug? |
12869 | Lost access to drawer icon for center button on CyanogenMod 7 | I am running CyanogenMod 7 on my HTC Thunderbolt and somehow I inadvertently removed the function for the center button on my home screen between the phone and web browser icons.

23296 | Can apps be installed to or otherwise use the external SD card of the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0? | I have a Samsung Galaxy 2 7" wifi only tablet using ICS 4.0.3. Samsung states that all apps on ICS must run from internal storage (8Gb). I have a program that requires more storage for the data files than can fit in internal storage. I have a 32 Gb external microSD card installed with sufficient room for the data files. Is there a way for the app to be associated with the data files on my external storage card so that I can run the app? |
21780 | Samsung Galaxy S 2 doesn't switch on or go into download mode , yellow triangle with exclamation mark | I had Galaxy S2 with Gingerbread kernel, I needed to upgrade it to ICS. I used Odin 3 v3.04 to download the ICS kernel (I9100) to the phone. I followed the following steps: 1. You start with the phone disconnected from the computer and switched off. 2. Start the SGS2 in download mode: you do this by pressing "Volume down", the "Home" button and the "Power" button at the same time. Don’t release them until the download mode screen appears (it looks totally different from the normal starting screen). 3. Follow the on-screen instructions: 'Continue' by pressing "Volume up". 4. Start Odin 3 on your computer. 5. Click on PDA and select the tar-archive containing the kernel you want to install. 6. DO ONLY check the option boxes "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time". 7. Connect the SGS2 to the PC via USB. The first field of "ID:COM" should turn yellow stating the COM Port of your device. Continue only after this has happened. It can take a couple of seconds. 8. Click `Start` and wait for the flashing process to finish. 9. After that it said "Reset", and I powered off the phone 10.When I switched on the phone Odin said Pass _**_*But now I have a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle, no switch on happening, not able to get into download mode also. _*_** |

50447 | Automating "Stay Awake" | I use my personal Android smartphone for development. Every morning, I go to Settings \ Developer Options \ Stay Awake and check the box.

1104 | Do HTC widgets not work with ADWLauncher? | I've just installed ADW.launcher, which is a lot cleaner than the original HTC Sense homescreen, but I can't seem to get my Clock/Weather widget back. It's not appearing in the list of widgets. Is it just me, or do none of the HTC widgets work with ADW Launcher, or is it that the HTC widgets will only work with the HTC home screen? Alternatively, is there a decent clock app that displays digital time, and maybe weather too? |
11400 | What are the names of the various versions of the Android OS, and how are these names chosen? | Many people refer to Android versions by "codenames" rather than version numbers (e.g. Android "Gingerbread").

28060 | Galaxy S2 SPH-D710 Exchange ActiveSync Settings & Mail Disappear? 4.0.4 Sprint | I have a user with a Samsung Galaxy S2, 4.0.4 on Sprint. She said she took her son to senior photos and when she got back to her truck with her phone sitting on the console, all the Exchange Server settings for ActiveSync disappeared including her e-mails. She came into my office and we input the Exchange settings for company e-mail and was able to get her phone synced up again, but this is like the second time it has happened in about a month or so, any ideas? Thanks! |
28063 | Does installing and re-installing my own app affect my app's rating/ranking? | I just released my first app not too long ago. To test it in the Play store, I installed my own app. After discovering some bugs, I uninstalled it, and installed the one I would code to fix from Eclipse. After fixing the bug, I post an update and re-install my own app from the store to test it out again. If I keep repeating this process (uninstalling and re-installing my own app from Google Play every time I release a new version), will my app's rating be degraded? Should I strictly stick to using my own app by installing the raw version (not the one on Google Play, but the one I built in Eclipse)? Thanks. |

22018 | How to exit from an application which doesn’t exit on press back button? | I am using Maverick application for GPS navigation. In previous versions the `back` button caused to quit the application. (Which is also correct behavior according to question: What is the right way to close apps in Android?) Currently I have **Maverick 1.94** Lite. When I press the `back` button, Maverick only hides to background. (The same as if I pressed `home` button). I don't see anywhere in menu an option to exit. I wish to avoid task killers, or switching of my phone in order to quit Maverick. How do I **exit** from Maverick? My phone is SK17i aka Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini pro. |
26517 | Development App with Syntax Highlighting & Auto-completion? | I have been trying many applications for development, and am trying to find a good one with Auto-completion and Syntax highlighting. I know many offer Syntax Highlighting, but I am unable to really find any at all that have Auto-completion. My main focus if Web development, but I am also interested in Java development for android applications. So far, I know of a couple but they dont necessarily fit my needs right; Terminal IDE - This is really amazing. Gives you pretty much a full Bash terminal environment, with about everything you could need for Android Development and Web Development. with vim, javac, apkbuilder, and other useful stuff like htop, midnight-commander, etc. Its really unbelievable, but its a full 105Mb when unpacked. Which is pretty crazy. It takes up a ton of space, and being that I have a tiny amount of space on my internal memory, I cant always have it on my phone as its just too much. Its nice for android development, overkill for web development. Touchcode - I checked this out for a while, and its alright. but it doesn't seem to start auto-completion on 80% of the tags I type. I am not sure why. Otherwise it would be great. AIDE - (I believe it has Auto-completion, but I cant quite recall for sure.) VI iMproved Touch - its really great, I would love it, but I cant seem to get it to auto-complete during development. (Am I missing something here? Is there Syntax highlighting and Auto-completion that I just don't know about, or a certain keyboard combination to initialize it?) So is there any others that I am missing here? I am sure there have to be a couple of people here how use their android for a bit of web development here and there. Plus it is so hard to find IDE applications because when you type "HTML" all the results are mainly source viewers, "IDE" give AIDE, and a bunch of games, same with "Development". So the search function doesn't really help much on Google Play. Plus the most useful suggestions are always from others who have experienced something themselves. Any suggestions guys? Or an explanation on how to enable those features in Vi iMproved Touch? Thanks for your time guys. Take care everyone. |
26511 | Force debug in safe mode via USB? | I did something so stupid I'm almost kind of proud of it. I rooted my LG Optimus T (Froyo) using Gingerbreak, cleaned out a bunch of stuff, and accidentally deleted the home screen launcher. No big, I'll just install a new one... but I have a chicken and egg problem now, that requires debug mode to get out of. I can't just open settings on my phone to set debug mode. And the phone only starts up in safe mode. So the tl;dr is this: I need to force my phone into debug mode via USB, in safe mode. If I can't do this, I will have to buy a new phone. Please help me! |

13581 | Is there any working implementation of Google Docs on Honeycomb? | Simple question. I need to edit some Google documents on my EEE Pad Transformer with Honeycomb 3.2. I want few basic features. * I want my changes to be displayed corectly in File/See revision history * I want to be able to browse the file only with keyboard (that means up and down keys on the physical keyboard). * I want to use my localized, non-US keyboard, which I have on Transformer and which works on most of the applications There were few ways people told me. None of them works. * Google Docs in mobile version looks ugly on tablet, but mainly, I am **not able to browse the file with up and down keys**. Moreover, the cursor jumps like crazy, so I often delete some text accidentaly when I want to delete something else, and there is no undo in the whole thing. * the application "Google Docs" in the market does the same thing. * the external applications, like Documents to Go, which are paid, do work more sanely, but still, when I upload the document, it replaces the whole revision, so I don't see any changes in revisions, just one version replacing the other.The same thing happens when I remotely connect to my server with SSH and use the python API (yeah, I tried everything). * the desktop version of Google Docs doesn't work **at all** , I can't enter single letter, no matter how hard I try. It looks beautiful, though, which is awesome. edit: * what **sort of** works is opening desktop version of Google Docs in newest Firefox beta. However - for some reason, Firefox takes all keypresses as coming from US keyboard, while I have clearly selected localized keboard (which I have). So, is there any working implementation for Google Docs? I thought that because Android is from Google and Docs are from google, it will work seamlessly, but that doesn't seem to be the case. |

45557 | Why do I only have 304 MB of available storage space? | I have AlphaRev Oxygen R2, 4Ext Touch Recovery, AN-Droid 2.2.0 with Android 2.3.3 on my HTC Desire. But I have only 304 MB of available internal storage space after the first boot up. Now I installed Shazam and it shrank down to 296 MB. Shouldn't this number stay the same when I install an app? I mean I have formatted my SD card in 4Ext and created a 2 GB Ext4 partition for apps. Are the apps being installed on internal memory anyway? How do I check that? And if so, how do I tell it to install to the SD-Ext partition instead? This ROM is supposed to come with integrated App2SD+. Ain't that right? If not, can you suggest another ROM that has integrated App2SD+ or tell me how to set it up manually?  I want memory, man!! This stupid phone comes with only 147 MB of memory available for the user apps and data.

81435 | Is it possible to clear-default of an app using an ADB command? | Not sure if that's the place to ask this (maybe stackOverflow is better), but here we go: ## Background There are plenty of possible commands that you can perform by using ADB. I use many of them on my tiny **app-manager** alternative app. ## The problem I can't find a way to clears the default of a specified app. I mean the clearing of the app as the default one to handle some actions, as being shown on the "app-info" (AKA "manage-app") screen. ## What I've tried In the past, it seems that it was possible by having a certain permission and some API commands, but it's no longer possible. A possible workaround would be to disable&enable the app, but that causes weird things to happen on some other apps, for example launchers will remove the app's icon when it becomes disabled. I've also noticed a file on : /data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml that has some xml tags that include apps, and when I clear-default of an app, it is gone from this file. I don't think that playing with this file would be a good workaround, as things can change over time, and I don't even know if changing it will do anything, especially not in the current session. ## The question If there is no such a command? Is there any way to do it using root? |
