59257 | Galaxy S3 (Jellybean 4.1.2) is blocking callers on Allowed list while in Blocking Mode | I discovered last night that my phone is blocking callers who are on my approved list. I couldn't find my phone and asked my husband to call it... but it went straight to voicemail. When I finally found my phone it showed a missed call from my husband, with an indication that the call was [blocked]. I fiddled with the Blocking Mode settings - I switched from Custom List to Favorites to All Contacts - but his calls only came through when Blocking Mode was off. What could be the cause for the erroneous blocking? Am I just S.O.L. here or is there a fix? |

50760 | How to restore adb backup on Nexus 4 (boot loop)? | Recently I have flashed unofficial cyanogenmod 10.2 for my Nexus 4. After testing some features I the device came into a "bootloop" (stays on cyanogenmod logo launcher). I tried to reflash it with cm 10.1 (wipe dalvik cache and /cache partition) but the same effect. Now I have completed the adb backup but if I restore it I get the same effect as described above. I can launch the device successfully on clear cm 10.1 but it won't boot after restore of my backup. What can I do now ? |
21731 | Do most devices support side-loading? | I've googled about application side-loading (i.e., installing an application on an Android device without having to go through an app store), and most instructions mention that the device _might_ need to be rooted to do that. I am looking for an Android tablet to host a custom-built application, but I don't want to root the device (for reasons of warranty, stability and support). Do most devices officially support sideloading of applications? I've tried googling but only found results related to particular devices. |

55738 | Can I damage screen (Nexus 7) by having it turned on and not change for longer periods of time? | I wanted to use an app called TimeWise to have a timer ticking and showing how much time is left in a time-boxed task. However, I am not sure, if having the screen turned on like this (even with very **low brightness** ) for **25 minutes** without changing its content other than the counter, cannot damage it. These 25 minutes can be repeated for 4-8 hours. It is likely, that I will change the content of the screen from time to time, so this might be helpful, but I am not sure. Does anyone know if my concern is pertinent, or it is no problem for this type of screen? The device I'm using is Nexus 7 2013 version. Thanks! |
78974 | How can I find out which bands my phone supports | **Background:** I recently bought the Padfone X, and have been attempting to get it on my network. Part of this effort has been verifying information I have found online which claims that it supports LTE band 4. > 4G-LTE Bands: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 17 My network operator claims to support most phones that support AWS, specifically phones that operate on the 1700/2100 spectrum (which I believe corresponds to 4G-LTE band 4 / AWS 4 / etc.) **Problem:** Because I can't trust what I have read, I have been trying to answer this question: How can I find out what bands my phone supports just using Android / Apps? **What I have tried:** I have looked at this question asking about the current frequency band, which led me to try the two "secret codes" listed in the answers: * `*#*#0011#*#*`: Recognized as a code, but does nothing. * `*#*#4636#*#*`: This brings up phone information, but I don't see anything that looks frequency related. Screenshot here. The device is rooted, so I can use `adb shell` to muck about if need be, but I don't know where to look. |

32557 | ODEX file: Does every app has one and if yes where are they stored? | I know that `.odex` files are optimized .dex files. I have seen a lot of `.odex` files below the path `/system` on my phone. I am just curious if there are also `.odex` files for my installed apps. I searched the file system but I wasn't able to find `.odex` files for my installed apps. But I assume that they exist - the question is just where they are stored. BTW: My phone is a rooted Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.1.2 |

Please help me, I need to root the mobile because my device has got some problem, I lost my photos and to recover the images I have to root my mobile. |
57091 | Is there a way to see what what devices an application is compatible with in the Play Store? | Not sure how to phrase this, but the Play Store's online interface reports whether or not an application is compatible with the devices you own, marked by a checkmark or a cross next to each individual device whenever you try to install it. Would it be possible to force an entry into the account's device list, or use an external tool to see what devices a specific application is compatible with? For example, make the Play Store think that my account has a Nexus 4 or a Galaxy S2, in order to check whether an application I'm trying to install would be compatible with the Nexus 4 or the Galaxy S2. To have some context, I'm planning on buying a new device and I want to check whether or not the applications not compatible with my current one could be installed from the market. It's also fine if I could make my current, registered device be recognized as a different one (not sure if editing the build.prop list on my phone would actually work for this). |
75268 | My ringtone volume stays stuck at "silent". How do I fix this? | (Nexus4 with Android 4.4.4.) Recently my ringtone volume got stuck at "silent." Installing Volume+ and using that to control volume resolved this, but I would still like to know what is going on with my Android. If I press the volume-up rocker, nothing happens. The volume-down rocker works, If I press volume-down and slide volume to the right, then close the volume slider, the volume resets to zero immediately. If I set ringtone volume in settings, then close this window the volume resets to zero immediately. I recently installed WhatsApp, but doubt that that is the problem. I also accepted a system update recently. How can I diagnose or fix this? |

8322 | Wi-fi immediately disables | I have a **Samsung Captivate**. This week, it's wi-fi stopped working. To be more precise, it's wi-fi recognizes there is a wi-fi router nearby (my home's), and tries to connect. But it immediately disables and tries again in an unending loop. * I have not tried connecting on another hotspot. * I have installed a couple of programs this week, but I don't remember any of them being wi-fi related. * I recently put JuiceDefender on aggresive mode, but now I've disabled it, and wi-fi still doesn't work. * Tried enabling/disabling Flight Mode, but no success. * I've restarted my phone a couple of times. ## UPDATE (04/15/2011) I managed to connect to a nearby hotspot, so I'm guessing the router is the problem. It is a 5yrs+ old router (linksys). What's strange is that my PC is connected to the router by LAN cable, and still works. Also, I was able to enter it's configuration page (192.168.1.1). Probably some hardware is damaged. ## UPDATE (04/16/2011) NOW I´m confused. I connected to my router with an old low-grade tablet I forgot I had, with no problems. I'm guessing now that the problem must be some app I installed on my phone. ## **CONCLUSION (04/16/2011)** I just had to press the router's **reset** button on the back, and now my phone is connecting. Thanks to all who commented! |
9911 | Creating partitions through script in init.rc | Context/Resume: * I'm changing the android platform to create two partitions in a SD Card. I need to do this as early as possible. I'm currently trying in `init.rc` * It would be nice to obfuscate the access to one of the partitions. If I could keep it hidden would be better And...the long story: I'm trying to create new partitions on an SD card in a device, and I need to be done as early as possible. I thought that the init.rc should be the best location for this, so I tried to add a script call to perform the task, but I'm unable to create these partitions (or get the reason it fails). First of all, is this premise valid? Should I be able to do this? I call the script by: service myscript /system/bin/logwrapper /system/bin/myscript.sh disabled oneshot at init-time. And the content´s of the .sh file is fdisk /dev/sdcard < mykeys.input where "mykeys.input" is the sequence of commands used to perform the task of creating the partitions. Is this the recommended way of doing this? |

9916 | Issue with the Apps that are installed on SD Card after reinserting the SD Card | I am using an Xperia X10 mini pro (Android 2.1-update1). I rooted the phone and partitioned the 8GB SD Card into two parts. 1\. ext3 2. FAT32. I installed Link2SD to move the apps to SD Card. This has been very useful as this application has an option to move the installed/updated apps to SD Card automatically. But recently it happened to remove my SD Card from phone and inserted another 2GB SD Card for some other purpose. I started the phone and the apps that are showing on phone aren't working as I installed them on my SD card. So I put my 8 GB Micro SD card back to phone. Now the problem arose. I was not able to access the apps installed on SD Card. I had to reinstall all the apps that are there in my phone. Is it how it behaves ? Don't I remove my SD card from phone ? I did a little amount of Experimenting on this and found that its happening only on inserting another SD Card. My mobile is searching for the apps on the newly inserted SD Card. As there are no apps found it might be deleting the links on phone memory. This is my guess only. Still the question stays "How to overcome this kind of scenario ?" |

55880 | Why does the system not recognize my fonts? | My phone is a rooted Nexus S running the custom ROM Replicant. I copied twelve font files comprising three fonts (Arimo, Cousine, and Tinos) from my computer to the SD card, used a root file manager to copy the files to /system/fonts, and then rebooted the phone. Yet I am still unable to use these fonts. On par with the other font files in the folder, they are indeed .ttf files. For example, when I view this HTML file in the HTML viewer: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> .arimo { font-family: "Arimo", sans-serif; } .cousine { font-family: "Cousine", monospace; } .tinos { font-family: "Tinos", serif; } </style> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Font Test</title> </head> <body> <p class="arimo">Arimo paragraph</p> <p class="cousine">Cousine paragraph</p> <p class="tinos">Tinos paragraph</p> </body> </html> The paragraphs display in Roboto, Droid Sans Mono, and Droid Serif respectively. Why does the system not recognize the newly installed fonts? Is there some configuration file I need to edit? |

55884 | Port-forwarding Android 2.3.6 wifi-tether | I'm having trouble port-forwarding connections from outside my network when tethering with my phone. I have a bad understanding of routers and networking in general, so please bare with me. My Android device is the one directly connected to the Internet. To enable access to my computer from the outer world via the Android device, I'm currently using the free app called Port Forwarder and my phone is rooted so I have the authorization I need. The port on which I handle connections on the server is 80. Accessing the server-ip (inside the network) with `<local_ip.addr.ess.here>:80` I can access it, so that works. The problem is when I'm trying to access it from outside the network, the app tells me to set the source to 80, and the destination whatever it is (their example is 8080); of course I set it to 80 since thats what the server is listening to. So I try to access the server from outside using `<phone.public_ip.adr.ess>:80` it doesn't work. As you notice I've got no clue what I'm doing and finding guides has been difficult, even for standard routers. Has anyone successfully used this app and maybe could help me out? I probably left out important info because of ignorance, if so let me know and I will update the question. |
22417 | How do I get my phone to connect the internal SD by USB? | I recently rooted and upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S2 to version 4, ICS. Since doing so, when I connect my device by USB to my Ubuntu computer, only the 12GB internal storage shows up on my desktop and in Banshee. How do I get my 16GB SD card to also mount on Ubuntu, so that it is available for transferring music files and so on? * * * ## Update According to one answer below, and also in instructions I've now seen elsewhere on the web, I should be able to adjust my USB connection mode by following the following instructions: > 1.Bring up Settings. > > 2.Click More… (under Wireless and network). > > 3.Then select USB utilities ~ Set USB cable connection mode. > > 4.Select Connect storage to PC However, I am stopped at step 3 because I do not have a "USB Utilities" option under `Settings -> More...`. What I have looks like this:  I don't know if this is the make-or-break factor that will get my USB connectivity as hoped, but in any case, shouldn't I have the option since everyone else seems to? What can I do to get it? * * * ## Details Here is the storage settings as seen on my phone. As you can see, there are 2 entries of "Internal Storage", one of about 2GB, and one of a little under 12GB. Then there is an "SD Card", which seems to have about 15 GB, but it is grey and I am unsure if this is really my SD card or not. Then under "USB Storage", I have the option to mount an SD card, which is problematic, because I already have my card inserted, and seemingly mounted (as described after this image):  If I press the menu key while in the storage settings interface, I get two options:  For "USB computer connection", I have these settings which I don't think I want to change, because MTP does not work with my Galaxy Tab, so I'm not confident it will work with my Galaxy S2. I tried the camera option, but that made it so my phone appeared with a camera icon on my computer, limited the directories, and did not do much to help:  For "Storage configuration", I tried "Use internal Storage" both on and off, but it does not seem to make a difference:  Here is a screen shot from PowerAmp, which seems to think my music is located in a directory called "emmc". The music is accessible from within PowerAmp, but I can not access it when I connect my phone by USB:  PowerAmp tells me I can actually find the emmc directory, where my music seems to be stored, in two locations, `/emmc` and `/mnt/emmc`:  When I connect my phone by USB, it looks like this. Note no `emmc` directory, nor any `Music` directory, and if you look at the side, there is one `12 GB Filesystem`, no entry for my 16GB SD card:  And lastly here is the 12 GB drive's properties:  |

22410 | Can bricking my GT - I9100 damage my antennas? | I'm running a cf-root, SG SII with KL1 kernel and cyanogenmod 7. Before getting it done the way it is now, I went through several failed attempts. I'm afraid the first few times I installed the wrong kernel because the blue progressbar didn't appear, the phone rebooted and then the screen gradually lit up, showing pixels of different colours scattered all over, like a sort of gradient. It was very frightening, therefore I ask: has the "pixels" thing done any damage to my phone, in any way? Have the wireless/gsm antennas been affected by this incident? (I've read, although I didn't really understand, that installing the wrong kernel can affect I a way -- again, didn't get in which way-- your wireless antenna's performance) Is this the truth? I've experienced difficulties when connecting to some wifi networks. Also, a firend's Galaxy Note showed more wifi bars than mine, of the same hotspot. Does that mean I have a problem? Would be "flasing a new radio" the solution? Thank you! |
22411 | How can I stop Friendcaster automatically attempting to upload every picture taken on my Samsung Galaxy S2 running Ice Cream Sandwich | Every time I take a photo on my Samsung Galaxy S2 it then prompts me to Save or Delete the photo, and then a Friendcaster prompt asks me to give the photo a name to upload it to Facebook. While this could be useful in some situations, I do not want every photo I take to upload, and the only way I can seem to get out of uploading the photo is by closing the Take Photo app. This is obviously a little frustrating when trying to take multiple pictures. I cannot seem to find any setting within the Take Photo app or within Friendcaster to prevent this. I currently back up all of my photos to Picasa where by default the photos are marked as private. |
26307 | Share Links via Bluetooth without it being converted to HTML? | I'm often browsing articles on my phone and when something _piques_ my interest, I normally want to "share" it over to my computer to read it a little better or sometimes, just because the website wasn't optimized for mobile viewing. What I've been doing as of late, is sharing the URL from the ICS browser via bluetooth. This would have worked well but I would like it **NOT** to create **.html** files for every link I send. Here's an example of an HTML file generated from the bluetooth transfer: <html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/></head><body><a href="http://www.androidauthority.com/jelly-bean-ics-market-share-june-99102/">http://www.androidauthority.com/jelly-bean-ics-market-share-june-99102/</a></body></html> What **I would prefer** is to have it instead, open up the URL on the default browser.

3611 | USB host mode with class compliant audio interfaces | I have an HTC EVO, and it is my understanding that the hardware supports USB host mode. I am still working to confirm this, but even if it doesn't, I understand other devices do, and that the Android kernel supports USB2Go.

I am only interested in trying to get it working for class-compliant interfaces, as anything else isn't worth the effort. I understand this is a bit of an general question. I am hoping someone has already tried this. I'm a software developer but have not dug into Android much.

Is ADB the only way? Is a kernel update required, or can I simply drop the modules in place and load them? If a kernel update is required, can I replace the kernel without losing everything else? |

56283 | Creating a video ad about my application | When I search for an app in Google Play Store, I see there are some nice videos uploaded by their developers containing some screenshots or a video about how to use their apps, for example this. How do I create one of them, and what application/system should I use to create it without using a real camera. I just want to use graphic hands and a mock mobile template. |
32087 | I changed my sim card - how do I find which app is sending sms messages to my old number? | I recently traveled to another country and I'm using a local prepaid sim card on my Galaxy S2. My prepaid credit was depleted rather quickly, and when I checked the phone record I found out **my phone was sending two sms messages each day** , about one minute apart from each other - one to my old number and one to my wife's number (as far as I can tell the only thing special about my wife's number is that with my old sim card I used to call it a lot). These two numbers are in my home country, so the sms messages were very expensive, and that is why my prepaid credit was depleted so quickly. Of course **I didn't send any messages myself** , nor is there any record of them in the outgoing messages. Now that my credit is depleted I still sometimes get a message from the mobile carrier saying they can't deliver a message I was supposedly trying to send (though really I wasn't) because I have no credit - so **my phone is still trying to send these messages**. Specifically this also happens after I restart. So I'm stuck with no credit, and I don't want to recharge my card because my phone keeps trying to send these messages and it will deplete my credit again. Obviously some application is sending these messages, and to find out which application (after reading this question) I installed RL Permissions, and here are all the applications listed as having the permission to send sms messages:  Now as far as I can tell all these apps came preinstalled by Google or Samsung, and therefore supposed to be trusted. The only exception is _WhatsApp_ , but this is a widely used app and I think is also trusted. It does make me wonder though, why _WhatsApp_ needs permission to send sms messages in the first place - it's supposed to send messages only by using the internet connection isn't it? **So can anyone help me find which app is the culprit?** |
32081 | When typing, automatically replace specific characters with others (ie accented uppercase Greek vowels) | I'm looking for an app or other way to automatically replace specific characters with others, from a list of my definition. This should be done in every possible text edit field, inline. Ideally I would type up some text and, if the keyboard I'm using is configured to do so, it would replace as I type or after a word is autocompleted. Unfortunately I haven't found any keyboard app that allows for this. A second way to do this would be to complete typing in any text field, select all typed text, share or copy paste to another app that will do the replacement, then paste the replaced text back into the text field. This seems like the most realistic solution to be looking for, and one that I could consider writing myself. I figured I'd check for a more elegant or existing solution before considering that. The main purpose of this is to accomodate whoever types in Greek and wants to use a keyboard's autocomplete functionality, in particular to send SMS in GSM- ASCII encoding and thus be able to use 160 characters per single SMS. All keyboards that I've tried (Go Keyboard, Swype, Swiftkey, stock ICS, Samsung), exhibit the same issue, namely the capitalized versions of the words in their Greek dictionaries incorrectly include accents on the vowels. This probably happens because the dictionaries include only the lowercase versions of the words, while automatically uppercasing them on demand to save store space or to avoid what they perceive as duplication. Unfortunately, although lowercase greek vowels may carry an accent, uppercase ones must not do so. More importantly, the 7-bit GSM-ASCII encoding for SMS transmission that allows for 160 characters per SMS only includes uppercase Greek characters without accents (it does not include lowercase ones). As soon as a single lowercase or accented uppercase character is typed, the SMS must be sent using UCS-2 encoding which is 16-bit and limits us to 70 characters per SMS. The list of characters and their replacements is this: Ά => Α Έ => Ε Ή => Η Ί => Ι Ό => Ο Ύ => Υ Ώ => Ω Would anyone have any idea how to go about doing this, in an existing app or some sort of macro with string replacement functionality? Apologies for the long question, if you reached this far. I thought it was important to state the background that lead to this limitation. Thanks in advance. |
57772 | KitKat Lock Screen: Possible to remove bottom menu? | I updated my Nexus 4 to KitKat. It adds a menu bar at the bottom of the lock screen. By default, it shows the camera on the right hand side and caret in the middle. Is it possible to remove the bottom menu bar from the lock screen? Alternatively, is it possible to remove the icons on the menu bar. |
32088 | Firefox for Android: blocking images? | I would like to prevent Firefox from loading images, due to 3g data limit. * I was googling for an anwser, but it seems that option is not available, and, to my surprise, I did not find any posts mentioning it _does not_ exist. * There is no option in `about:config` that looks like the one `permissions.default.image` in the desktop version of Firefox. * No extension (in particular, the Image Block) seems to be installable in Firefox 16.0 for Android. Can you suggest a solution, or a browser, which supports this feature? |
57775 | Display screen on [desk|lap]top | Is it possible to display the screen of my Android on a regular computer in a similar fashion as an emulator would – but with an actual device being displayed rather than an emulation? I am looking to plug my Android in and then do all phone activity on it from this imagined piece of software, such as use apps, send text messages and even make phone calls. E.g. when I am sitting at a computer, which offers far more UX convenience than a small Android device, I do not see why I wouldn't use it to augment the phone display on a much bigger monitor and use my keyboard instead if the phone is plugged in. |
57774 | How to tune my Android 4.1.2 for performance | I have a `Motorola Droid Bionic` with `Android 4.1.2` on it. The phone has become very slow and switching between applications takes at least 5 seconds. Q1: What could be causing this performance decline? Is it too much local data garbage that needs to be cleaned up? Q2: What desktop system utility/analytics tools are there out there so that I can access my phone from my laptop, run analytics and service the phone (e.g. clean local data or uninstall apps etc.) from in a more UX pleasing environment? |
52054 | Unable to use Network: "Not Registered On Network" | I am using Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330 (officially upgraded from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2). It used to work fine, but since a few days I am not able to call or send sms or use any network related services. It gives me error : "Not Registered On Network". I tried applying manual network settings. At first it gives a pop up : "Registered on Network". But as soon as I try to make a call, the same error : "Not Registered On Network". I thought that factory reset would have been the solution to my problem, but unexpectedly , this too did not work for me. Please help. |
52050 | Locating stolen phone after factory reset | I assume any reasonable thief will wipe the phone as soon as possible, thus removing any tracking apps and user accounts. I there a method to track the phone any way? A possible method is to use a tracking app (and it's configuration) that's embedded in a custom ROM. |
52058 | Samsung S4 not sending emails when they have an attachment | I am using the std email app on the Samsung S4. I cannot send emails when they have an attachment. The email just sits in the outbox. When I send the same email without an attachment is gets sent. I have tried all file formats for the attachment, including word, excel, jpeg in case it was only affecting certain file types. I have also tried different file sizes, and it does not matter, even very small attachments of a few bytes will not work. I do have a gmail account on the same phone. Attachments do get sent with from the gmail account. The account that is problematic is the my work account which is running using activesync. I have checked the Wifi vs Mobile data settings and have tried it with mobile data on and off as well as with Wifi On and Off |

57483 | Issues with Galaxy S3, S4, Note 2 destroying or being unable to use SD-cards | Reviews for some products, as well as some forum threads, claim that the Galaxy 3, Galaxy 4, and Galaxy Note 2 will not play well with some SD cards. The first of the above links mentions that Kingston had posted this as a known issue on their website; a Google search for the quoted text brings up no such page. Is this a known issue? Is it advisable to avoid or prefer certain brands, models, capacities, or speeds of SD cards because of this? This question seems to be related. |
53905 | How long does a GPS almanac last for a quick fix within cold start? | I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini and did two tests, both with cold GPS start (without A-GPS data): 1. starting GPS receiver 11 hours after last fix - got new fix almost instantly (30 seconds) 2. starting GPS receiver 23 hours after last fix - could not fix in 10-15 minutes (did not count exactly) I have to mention the GPS was turned on in Android system between last fix and test and phone was on wifi. My question is - how long do GPS almanac data last for a quite quick (say under 3 minutes) cold start? |

57489 | How to select a power supply for a given Android device | There are a variety of products on the market which provide a power supply for Android devices through the ubiquitous MicroUSB 2 port. These include adaptors for 12V "cigarette lighter" car DC power supplies, adaptors for AC (120-240V) domestic power supplies, solar power supplies, AA battery power supplies, and so on. One consideration with all such products is the maximum current they can supply. This is generally 500mA at a minimum, but I have seen up to 2 A. How can we know what current our device will draw, so as to select a power supply which will maximize its recharge rate? What is the maximum current that can be supplied via a MicroUSB connection? How can we know if our device is able to safely use a power supply which can supply more current than it draws? |
57488 | Increasing my phone's charging rate while tethered | I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and a laptop with 2 USB 3 ports. When tethered to my laptop (to provide Internet access via GSM/HSPA data), the phone charges very slowly, especially if I am using it for anything else in addition to data tethering. While connected to a USB 3 port using the OEM cable, it took about 5 hours to charge while tethered but not otherwise being used. Given the 2100 mAh battery, this works out to a bit under 500mA¹. It has a micro-USB 2 port as its sole means of power input. The S3's USB-to-AC Adaptor indicates that it provides 5.0 V at 1.0 A. The Battery HD app, when running on my phone, tells me that an S3 will charge just under twice as fast via AC power as via USB. I haven't found any apps which indicate, or any other way to determine, the phone's current draw from the power supply. If I'm reading wikipedia correctly: * Maximum current draw for a normal USB 2 port is 500mA. * Maximum current draw for a normal USB 3 port is 900mA. * Dedicated Charging Ports (which I gather is what the Samsung USB-to-AC adaptor has) can provide over 500mA but do not support data transfer. I didn't see any indication in the article of a maximum current. * Charging Downstream Ports can also provide over 500mA along with high-speed data transfer. It sounds like the maximum current was originally 900mA in the 2007 spec but was upped to 1500mA when version 1.2 was published in 2010. ¹: Wikipedia gives battery specs for the S3 as "2,100 mAh, 7.98 Wh, 3.8 V". The rate of charge of the battery over 5 hours works out to 420mA **at 3.8V**. At USB voltage of 5V, this is only 320mA. I'm not sure what the efficiency ratio for charging a Li-Ion battery is—80% perhaps? How can I increase my phone's charging rate when connected to my computer? Is it possible for a USB 2 device to draw 900mA from a USB 3 port? Is it possible (and safe) to connect my phone to two ports at once to increase the total current? |
24816 | Where are metamorph themes? | I just installed metamorph for my rooted toshiba thrive. I'm trying to figure out where to get themes for it, but they're nowhere to be found (at least through a google search). I thought some would come pre-installed, or at least have a repository of some pre-made ones, but no... 1) Where is a good place to search for these? I definitely want it to be android tablet compatible (I'm running ICS). 2) How do I install them using metamorph? I've been reading up on how to do this but I want to make sure I don't mess with something and end up bricking. |

27893 | Google Voice in Android to make cheap international calls like on Desktop through Google Wallet? | I need to make international landline/mobile calls. My laptop with Debian is failing me here and iPad failing here. I want to use Google Voice because it is far cheaper than my local carriers. I tried to use their marketed Google Voice -mobile but for some reason it seems to turn into my carrier -version of "phone" or actually I am not sure whether it is the right version. I am looking for the same Google Voice as in Desktop: you open up Gmail and then there type the number to make cheap calls to which you pay through your Google Wallet. **So how can I call, using Google Voice and Google Wallet, in my Android -phone?** |

58934 | Open text file with any file extension from other apps? | This question is related; it solves the problem for .c, .cpp and a bunch of other extensions, but not for my admittedly somewhat unusual extension.: How do I open a text file of any extension in Android? I am using text files with extension .todo that I would like to open on my Android phone with a text editor FROM OTHER APPS (file manager, dropbox). So far, I have tried 920, Droid Edit, Jota and maybe some more that I don't remember right now. Renaming to .txt always brings a bunch of choices. Can I add this extension to the system somehow? Can I register this extension from within some text editor? |
58935 | How to make Android GMail app to show my picture next to my email messages? | I have a user profile picture selected for my own Google profile. This picture is visible in my GMail settings and works fine with web versions of GMail: * This profile picture shows successfully next to all my email messages on GMail web site, i.e. when I open my GMail account through desktop web browser (Chrome). * This profile picture also shows successfully when I open mobile version of GMail web site using mobile Chrome on my Nexus 5. However, when I use the stock Android GMail app to read my emails on Nexus 5, my profile picture refuses to show. Profile pictures of other people show successfully next to their message titles, but my messages are displayed with the "default" profile icon - a large "A" in a square. Meanwhile, GMail app correctly recognizes these messages as posted by me: it explicitly says "me" in place of sender's name. So, is there some sort of trick to make GMail app behave consistently with GMail web site in that regard, i.e. make it display my profile picture next to me messages in GMail? |
37078 | How to set a default keyboard language on the lock screen? | I have multiple languages set up on my keyboard (and using Swype primarily). Since my password consists of English letters, if my keyboard was last used in a different language, I have to first switch language on the lock screen before starting to type the password. This is very annoying and in aggregate quite time consuming. Is there any way to get the keyboard to always default to English in the password entry field of the locked screen? |

18534 | Builtin Ice Cream Sandwich Application keyboard shortcuts question | In previous versions of android, you could specify application keyboard shortcuts (for example, Menu+G to launch GMail, etc.) but that functionality seems to be gone from Ice Cream Sandwich. However, there are a few that seem to be builtin, but I can't seem to customize them. They seem to be control+b for browser, control+p for people, and control+a for calculator. (Note that I'm not exactly sure which particular modifier key it is, it's just the one labeled control on my touchpad bluetooth keyboard) Does anyone know about these or how to customize/change them?

15160 | Android Contacts lost but seen in Message app | I rooted my Nexus S and re-installed a stock ROM. I had my contacts on my SIM card before starting to use my Nexus and I never bothered to sync those contacts to Google. After rooting I don't see my contacts anymore (even in the import contacts screen). However when I try to open the messaging app and type something in the "To" list, auto suggest starts suggesting some of the old contacts. As part of rooting, I deleted all of my data. How is it possible that message app is able to fetch my old contacts but I am not able to see them? |
1960 | OTA update failing after rooting phone | I have an unlocked Nexus One that I rooted to remove a system application (Twitter), but now the OTA system update fails with the message Verifying current system ... assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Twitter.apk", "<long hex string>") E:Error in /cache/c8847c98b948.signed-passion-FRG83-fromFR91.c8847c98.zip (status 7) Un-rooting the device doesn't seem to fix this. Is there more to removing a system app than doing a 'rm' of the .apk? For example, is there some configuration file that also needs patching? |
15162 | What Port Does Android Use For VPN Connections? | I'm trying to set up a VPN so that I can have a connection to my LAN from my phone (HTC Droid Incredible, Stock ROM, Not rooted) wherever I am. AFAICT, everything is set up correctly. The Domain Name resolves correctly, I forwarded the ports required by the how-to I was following, yet I still can't connect. I have no idea what's wrong or how to get to any debug information. The only thing I can think of that I haven't verified yet is the port, but I couldn't find a way to select one. What Port Does Android Use For VPN Connections? P.S. I would _really_ like to do this without rooting. |
30223 | VLC speed play in Android app | In VLC player there is a "faster" and "slower" button that makes the video go faster or slower so that if you need to learn something (for example a guitar solo) you can slow it down a bit or if someone is talking too slow in a documentary you can speed it up a bit. Does anyone know any Android app that does the same? I have a couple of documentaries that I need to speed up on my tablet and it's driving me nuts that I cant do it. I have tried these apps so far: * VLC (neon) * MX player * Poweramp * _and a couple others_ Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance! |
30221 | Installing Android using only fastboot on HTC Vision | I lost my system somehow. My phone turned off and reboots during starting up. I'm only able to go to hboot (fastboot/recovery etc.) on my phone, and I'm unable to run Android system. I have tried many possible solutions with help of #g2root on freenode: 1. First I downloaded the stock ROM and saved it to SD card (PC10IMG.zip). * It begins to load, and I see [1]-[12] positions. * When I agree to install, there's "- Updating" text near to "[1] Bootloader". Nothing else happens for more than 30 minutes. 2. Then we tried to get rom.zip from official HTC Unlocker for Desire Z, saving it to the SD card. * This time the only list item there was "[1] Bootloader" and also "Updating" text and nothing happens. 3. The last thing I tried was to run EXE file from HTC that is supposed to update my HBOOT. * It also doesn't work. Here are my HBOOT params: > VISION PVT SHIP S-ON > ?HBOOT-0.85.0013 > MICROP-0425 > RADIO-26.10.04.03_M > eMMC-boot > Apr 11 2011,23:36:27 Is there anything else I can try to recover my phone? |
13265 | Cloud music apps won't sync from device to computer? | I have a free Spotify account and can very easily sync music files that are on my computer to my Android device via wifi. But I can't find a way to sync files that are on my Android device back to the computer. I've looked for a way to do this using Google Music and can't find it. Same with Amazon MP3. If I download an MP3 on my phone, I'd like to add it to my computer's library and be able to easily sync it and then play it with Spotify, Google Music, Amazon MP3, etc., regardless of where I'm playing it. Is there some reason the various cloud services allow you to sync from computer to device but not from device to computer? Any suggestions on easy ways to accomplish this with some other software? Or am I missing something? |
13260 | Verizon Droid X - phone won't vibrate | I've got a Droid X that's been operating fine since a did a hard reset on it a couple weeks ago.

The phone is running Gingerbread (2.3.3) build 4.5.602. |
67267 | How much battery drain do push notifications cause on Android 4.1? | I've got an S3 on 4.1, and I have a lot of apps which have push notifications. This is convenient, but I want to know if 4.1 is set-up to use push notifications efficiently with regards to battery drain. Would having Android 4.3+ use less battery for push? I have push enabled for 4 apps. After adding another push one last night, my battery loses 20% in an hour. I am starting to wonder how much battery do push apps really drain. I noticed some Twitter apps state that while they use push, they use their own server which apparently uses less of our battery. |
67264 | Bluetooth dongle support for Ubislate 9ci tablet | I purchased a new tablet Datawind Ubislate 9ci. It is a 9 inch no-bluetooth tablet. Details: * Android 4.1.1 * Rock chip RK2928 * Linux kernel version 3.0.36+ I want to attach a Bluetooth dongle to this tablet. I have micro USB OTG cable and Bluetooth USB 2.0. Please suggest and guide me on how to do this, with download links to ROM, firmware, etc. I found a software from Google Play and it is recognising the BT USB 2.0, but it is not connecting to the tablet I have run the USB host diagnostics; everything is showing "yes". The BT Dongle is recognised by USB host controller version 0.44 from Google Play Store. It is showing as below: > under info: s3c usb host driver not found ! Root hub present, usb host mode > is active > > under usb: 2-1 0179:0bda Realtek 802.11n NIC > > 1-1 0001:0a12 Bluetooth v 2.0 Bluetooth v 2.0 dongle As per your doubt, BT dongle is not recognised by "Android". This BT dongle, when plugged to Windows XP computer, it is recognised by computer. |
67263 | App to sync with IMAP notes | I'm looking for a notes app that will sync with IMAP notes folder. On my Macbook pro, the notes app creates a folder on my webmail called Notes, and uses this as the location for any notes I create in the notes app. I am looking for an android app that can access these notes much in the same way that my notes app for OSX does. Reference this thread for a little more information about IMAP and notes. |
67268 | Phone having problems getting and keeping a GPS signal lock | I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and it's having problems getting and keeping the GPS signal. It has been getting worse over time. It was just taking 10+ minutes to get a lock and recently it has been losing the signal even though I am outside with a clear view of the sky. I have tried various apps like 'GPS Status' and 'GPS Test' comparing similar models (Samsung Galaxy 2 + others) and it seems, using the same app, other phones have 7+ satellites while mine in the same spot has 2-3 satellites. Also it seems to get a faster lock using those apps but loses it as soon as another app is opened. So is there anything that I can do to fix the problem or is it most likely a hardware problem? There is stuff that I want to keep on my phone so I am hoping that I don't need to format but will if it is the last resort. And please go easy on me as this is my first question on StackExchange network. |
68529 | How to automatically switch between apps and/or websites on Android? | So I'd like to turn a tablet into a calendar, alarm, weather display, and task organizer that shuffles between these every five minutes when not being used.

Any good ways to do this? Thanks. |

43108 | What data will be lost if I update my phone (WT19i)? | I have this WT19i (currently on ICS). I use a phone lock (it was pattern lock). My friend tried 20 times and it made the phone go to only accepting answers to my security questions. Unfortunately I am unable to remember the answers. I browsed and found out that I have to update the phone to be able to unlock it. I don't think I ever did backup my data. It said my personal data will be lost after the update. What kind of data is that will be lost? |
