How do I back up (and restore) my phone before installing a custom ROM?
|
> **Possible Duplicate:** > How to backup an Android device? I am thinking of installing a custom ROM such as CM7 on my AT&T Galaxy S2 (SGH-i777). I have already rooted it. What is the best practice for backing-up (and potentially restoring) my phone? Notes for answerers: 1. I'm interested in step-by-step instructions to obtain a canonical answer rather than links into forum threads. 2. Will the method described be able to recover the phone if the ROM install process fails and "bricks" the phone? 3. Can the backup be moved to external storage (such as a computer) or is it only resident on the phone's internal memory. If it can be preserved off-device please describe this process as well.

Transfer applications and settings from my old Android phone to my new one
|
> **Possible Duplicate:** > How to backup an Android device? I recently purchased a new Android device and I would like to be able to back up all of my settings/installed applications/app settings so that I can easily transfer them from the old phone to the new phone. I know that my Gmail synced items will automatically sync, but this doesn't help me with things like bookmarks and settings on my apps. Are there any good applications available on the market for helping me with this transfer? I'm not sure if it will cause any problems, but the old device is running Android 1.6, and the new device will be running Android 2.x

Offbrand Android Tablet - Google Mail/contacts/calendar issue
|
I bought a Pandigital Supernova 8" tablet with Gingerbread OS, for a really good price, and despite the fact it had a lot of oddball apps on it, I was able to root it, and get google play/gmail etc on it. I'm having a real problem though, getting Google calendar/contacts to sync. I installed the Gmail app, it prompted me to login to my gmail address and mail itself works fine. But.. The contacts applet and calendar do not sync with my gmail account. If I go into the contacts applet it says there are no contacts, and there is no google selection in the "add accounts" area. While trying to figure this out, I found there were two .apk's missing, GoogleCalendarSyncConnector.apk and GoogleContactsSyncConnector.apk. Once added and the tablet rebooted, I figured this would work, but alas, it did not. What am I missing??

Access and modify files on the SD card of my mobile using WIFI tethering
|
I am looking for an application for my Android 2.3.5 Sony Xperia X10i. I want an app that will mount my phone on my hot spot as eg: `http://192.36.02.08` , which will have both download and upload functions. I want this so that I can quickly transfer files from my computer to my mobile in a hurry, as I have found out that WiFi speeds for file transfers are much faster than that of an USB cable. Are there any apps that can do it? I appreciate any help.

When will my phone get the Android 2.2 update (FroYo)?
|
Android 2.2 (FroYo, short for "Frozen Yogurt") was released over the Summer 2010, however not all of the devices that will get this update have received it yet. Each manufacturer and carrier needs to add their custom modifications before it can be officially released. See also: * When will my phone get the Android 2.3 update (Gingerbread)? * When will my device get the Android 4.0 update (Ice Cream Sandwich)?

Prevent ANY sound from Android phone
|
I have the Galaxy S4 and would like to be able to ensure that, when on silent/vibrate mode, the phone makes absolutely no noise. I haven't been able to find a way to prevent the alarm from making noise when going off in silent mode, and though I could set the alarm type to vibrate, I'm concerned that if the alarm can go off in silent mode, other things can make noise as well. Is there a way to ensure the phone makes no noise? Is it really only the alarm that makes noise in silent mode?

Pull or backup only the contacts from Android
|
My phone is on a bootloope _ soft bricked. I have managed to detect it via adb on recovery mode. So now I want to know the exact command to pull contacts first from the phone to my pc. 1. Is this correct? adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\test.ab 2. Next what is the generic (original factory) directory for phone saving all the pictures/pdfs? What is the command I should run to pull those from phone to pc? 3. Is pulling faster or healthier a bricked phone than backing up into pc? 4. Also due to UK language settings my pc has no backslash, is there a way to get it into command prompt? (Since I am nooby and I just crashed everything I know right now from last night - please have mercy. I want to make sure the commands are precise.)

How to install custom kernel from source? - Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (GT-P5113)
|
I have modified the kernel code in attempts to add a driver for USB to Ethernet. I have successfully compiled the code and am trying to install it onto my tablet. I am following the README that came with the source code provided by Samsung (making a .tar for the zImage file), but when I try installing it with Odin it gives me an installation error. Alternatively, I have tried making a zip file and installing with CWM and it again fails. I am thinking that I am missing some files needed to perform the installation. What else besides zImage do I need?

Galaxy S4 Internal Storage
|
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, it has Cyanogenmod with Android 4.2.2. My problem is that I only have 908MB free after installing a couple of apps. These apps are about 50MB or less, and there aren't a lot. I have checked the data for all the apps and I didn't see any that had big data. I have attached a screenshot so that you can see the storage option in the settings:  Screenshot (click for larger variant) PS: I remember now I was trying to install Asphalt 8 last night, but it didn't work. That might be the problem if there are files hanging, but I don't see them and cannot find them. Please note on the image the gray area. I think that stands for system reserved space? But why is it so big.

Why Does Google Location History Stay In the Same Place When I Go Out?
|
What's happening is that I go out and about and at the end of the day I check the location history and it says that i've been at my house all day when i've been out. I take my phone with me and it stays on, the gps is on. I do have a tab that stays at home but there's no location settings allowed for it, there isn't even a glimpse of the locatin to out of my house. It looks like it's tracking my tab but it's not set for location data to be used for apps. I do not have any apps on the tab that would need my location anyway, but the gps is off on it so it wouldn't be able to track it besides using the wifi location. The location simply does not move, it might go out on the street but there's no indication whatsoever I went anywhere other than my house. Any help? :)

What can I do to manage my phone's internal storage?
|
If you're not used to seeing the 'low on internal storage' notification, what is it that you're doing to keep your phone's internal memory from filling up so quickly? The 'SD Card and Phone Storage' menu in the settings doesn't really tell me much other than how much is free. And, I don't really have that many applications installed. The top 5 storage hogging apps on my phone are Gmail (18.6 MB), Twitter (17.5 MB), Facebook (12.55 MB), Maps (9.63 MB), and Swype (6.06 MB). So, are there apps out there (besides your normal file manager ones, like Astro) that will help monitor internal phone storage? Is there something I should be doing to keep my phone storage use to a minimum?

Good ways of clearing internal space?
|
> **Possible Duplicate:** > HTC Desire low on internal storage, I'm clueless I need a good and solid way to find large things which are taking up lots of phone internal memory. My phone really just stops working, sync-wise, when I'm running low on space, which seems to be all the time. I'm running LeeDroid and have set my default install application as the SD card, but it seems that I can still fill up my internal phone storage quickly. I did try the App2SD+ setup, but couldn't seem to partition my card properly. So does anyone have any good tips? At the moment I'm clearing Maps data and Browser cache, but now that's gone also. Do apps on the SD card still put data on the phone? Or do I just need to make more effort partitioning my SD card to get App2SD working? Something which created a list or pie chart or both of internal space with links to clear data or uninstall would be idea.

I have always had a problem with my Desire's phone storage capacity so recently I did a factory re-set and started again. Everything was fine for a few weeks, I had loads of space and could download and install to my hearts content. Then all of a sudden I have the dreaded "Disk Space Low!" message again. Thsi is despite having only 39.116meg of apps installed on the phone. All possiable apps are on the sd card and there is nothing in the cache. Also all contacts, dates etc are stored on google. Can someone please explain what is taking up all this space i.e all 139 MB? I cant even download the latest software update!

HTC STATUS-INTERNAL MEMORY LOW EVEN WITH SD-CARD?
|
> **Possible Duplicate:** > What can I do to manage my phone's internal storage? I have the HTC Status, and love it! But lately I'm getting "Internal memory low" messages when I try to open or download something in my messages. It tells me to go to the "settings" tab and make space. I don't have many Apps on it, the biggest I believe is the FB App-but it's the so called "FB Phone" so why am I still having issues? I uninstall and delete data and try to move things to the sd-card and empty inboxes all the time and it just moves a few MB and leaves me alone. It gets bad sometimes, where it won't let me even ope and read a text even if there aren't any pics to load. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

An app that can give a clear overview of what exactly is eating up my phone space?
|
> **Possible Duplicate:** > What can I do to manage my phone's internal storage? I'm curious to know how my 2GB memory card could fill up so quickly as well as my internal phone memory. I already cleared up all SMS, taken pictures, taken videos that I can find. But it only changed to mere megabytes of space. I have the Xperia Active and I'm using the Sony Bridge for Mac. From there, it only says that the rest of the space is being occupied by "Others". No specific definition about what those might be. On Windows, I use an app like http://windirstat.info/ to give myself an easily understandable overview of what's taking up the biggest space, etc. It would be appreciated if there's something like that for the Android or even just a simpler solution. I just want to look at more detailed statistics as opposed to the one the Sony Bridge is giving me (see below). http://i.stack.imgur.com/T46FY.png

Something is secretly eating up my Acer Iconia A500 internal memory and I need help finding it
|
I've been a happy owner of an Acer Iconia A500 for a bit over a year now but a couple of weeks ago it started to complain about its internal memory being full. I was a bit surprised as I keep movies, and such on the external SD card but I assumed is was some browser cache, Maps or so which had eaten up a fair chunk of the 32G memory it has internally. However, that doesn't seem to be the case. I have cleared the data of almost every single App I have installed but still if I look at the Storage tab of the settings I see the following (a couple of hours ago):  I get the feeling that the rightmost grey part of the bar should be a bit more than 379MB... (SD Card at the bottom of the picture is the external one, never mind that one). I've tried almost every disk usage app available out there and they all show similar results, the following is DiskView (picture taken after I removed a few apps):  (in this picture "SD Card" is the internal one...) One thing all the disk usage apps seems to have in common is that unless the device is rooted, they cannot see what is in some directories (like /data) which makes me think it is either Android itself (4.0.3 on this device) which has some kind of cache which is misbehaving or that some process is producing extreme amounts of logs somewhere. Sorry for this long intro, but the basic question is: How do I proceed? I guess one alternative is to find what is worth backing up and do a factory reset or something but I wold really like to find out what happened first. Rooting it is an alternative which would probably help me find out more but I sort of like it as it is (except for this issue). If it is needed to resolve it I could of course do it but it feels like you shouldn't have to with an appliance like this. Is there another way forward? I have this naive hope that there is a button somewhere I haven't seen that clears all logs or reduce the log level from debug to info. **Edit:** One thing I've been considering but cannot investigate is if it could be cores. I've had a lot of crashes lately (presumably because it has been running low on disk). In response to Izzy's comment below. Apps adds up to more or less exactly the 700MB listed as "Apps" (seems to be the total of data and the apps themselves).

Phone Storage is getting low
|
I have a sony xperia neo. I usually had atleast 110-135 mb free in my phone memory. Whatever new apps I install I always move them to sd if it is possible to do so for that app. I also keep clearing the cache for every app almost once a week, infact I also clear the app data ocassionaly when I think the data is unnecessary. Recently, my phone's internal storage just reduced by itself. All by itself. I did not install any new app, infact I actually deleted some. Obviously I did not move any apps back into the phone memory. Yea, some apps like YouTube, Officesuite, Adobe Reader etc. that come pre-installed in the phone memory were updated recently bur these updates obviously weren't big enough to take up all that memory. I even un-installed updates on apps like fb which are on the phone memory n which I don't use often. From having over 100Mbs of internal storage, today I have between 35-25 Mbs available. Why?? Where did all that memory disappear?? How can I fix this?! Please Help. Note: 1\. I have viber, its moved to sd. Lately, the viber photos folder in the gallery has started having blank 0kb photos in thousands, all by itself. I have 5k photos in that folder of which 4.9k are blank and appeared there all by itself. Could this be a reason why the phone memory got so low, even though viber is in sd? If not, why is this happening anyway? 1. I have avg antivirus (free). My phone is scanned automatically every week. 2. I did not root my phone.

HTC Desire low on internal storage, I'm clueless -- Any help?
|
It's been bugging me for a while but getting quite bad lately. I get warnings that my internal storage is full, I have about 13mb left of what I believe is 512mb worth of rom. I have checked with the app "diskusage" and my apps take about 122mb, with about 20 more mb being used by "data" (unsure what this is). When I check the apps list, my biggest app is some 12mb, and even within the first screen of apps this drops to just over 6mb. So I don't have extremely big apps, and I don't have all that much of them either. I try to put most on my sdcard, so no problem there either. How do I figure out what's hogging all this space, and how do I fix it ? On a related note, what is the Android equivalent of "formatting" your phone? I believe factory settings doesn't remove all data (sdcard etc) or does it? **EDIT:** I have done a hard reset on my phone, and the free space available is somewhat similar to what I saw before. So, is it normal to only have about 150mb available for apps when the internal rom should be 512mb ?

insufficient storage error while updating installed apps
|
> **Possible Duplicate:** > What can I do to manage my phone’s internal storage? I recently purchased a new Android mobile (Samsung Galaxy Y duos), running on Android 2.3.6. It have 8 GB microSD as external memory. I installed quite a few application and unfortunately now I'm facing memory issue. While updating Facebook app (around 13 MB) or installing any other app with 10mb+ memory requirement, I got error message `Insufficient storage`. I checked available storage, which is as follow: SD card Total space: 7.39 GB Available space: 6.90 GB System storage Available space: 22.47 MB There is lot of space on SD Card but yes system space is low. What is the efficient tricks/best practices to make sure system utilize more SD Card storage and less system storage so that I can install few more apps. Is there any way to shift few installed apps from system storage to SD Card storage, un-installing and installing is also acceptable for few apps.

Really know what is using internal storage
|
> **Possible Duplicate:** > What can I do to manage my phone’s internal storage? I am constantly running into the "Low Space" warning so I would like to know what is really consuming the phone's internal storage. I've checked and removed app after app, moved them to the SD card and done everything else I can think of but can't seem to figure out what is really consuming the phone's internal storage. I can see the storage used per app but it seems like this not entirely correct numbers or something is not attached to an app and hence invisible to this app list. So, is there a way to see what is really consuming the storage?

Help getting Arabic on Android
|
My Friend is going to sell his Nexus S because it does not natively support Arabic. I have found several websites that claim to have a solution to this issue. http://ardoid.com/ Seems to be the easiest solution to implement. Has anyone tried this or any other solution? Do the characters run together like how Arabic is written and not the single characters? Will the menues change to Arabic? Can he store contact names in Arabic? What arabic does it use? Will the push updates work? Will the spell checker work?

Backup stock HTC Desire ROM with Unrevoked
|
I want to play with different ROM's for HTC Desire (which is still under warranty). Based on my understanding, in order to keep the warranty and still play with custom ROM's, the following steps are required. 1. Root the Phone with Unrevoked Method 2. Take a backup of the stock ROM 3. Restore a custom ROM 4. And when warranty is required restore the stock ROM from backup Am I going in the correct direction?. If yes where can I find the guides to perform all of the above mentioned steps. * _NOTE: I don't want to lose the warranty of the phone. I know it will get void once I root it but then there should be options to unroot the device and get it back to factory settings. *_

Did ICS stop supporting clicking a number in text to dial?
|
I used to be able to click a number inside text (email or web page) to dial it. After upgrading to ics this feature seems to have been removed. Is that so? Any way to get it back? UPDATE: it seems to work with US phone numbers, but not ones that are used in my country (Israel). Can it be that my carrier forgot to update the pattern for recognizing numbers as phone numbers?

What are the two linked contacts under "Myself"?
|
In my phone, there's a "Myself" contact that can't be deleted or renamed, which has two linked contacts inside it. Those can't be unlinked or deleted either. Both contacts are marked as "Phone contact". Why are there two and why are they not unlinkable? Can I link another contact under "Myself"? I want to add my phone number there; which of the two should I add this to?

Is there an app that associates a certain action to a arbitrary NFC tag?
|
I'm using the NFC Task Launcher for launching actions stored on my own tags. This works fine. What I'm searching for is an app that associates a certain action with an arbitrary tag. An example: my company ID card has an NFC tag. This tag cannot be changed by me. But I want to activate a "At Work" profile when I scan that tag. So, the actual action is NOT stored on the tag but on the phone and gets triggered by reading that tag. Is there an app that I could use for that?

Why can't I transfer data from my tablet with OTG support to my phone with USB?
|
## Problem I want to copy music from my tablet to my phone with USB. My tablet can't see the phone when connected which is somewhat strange because the phone sees that it is connected and the tablet has OTG support. Therefore I can't select the phone from 'Explorer', so I can't copy the files. I can connect the phone to a laptop with Ubuntu 10.10 or Windows 7 pro without any trouble so the problem shouldn't be on the phone's side. And the phone can't see an USB stick directly, so even that won't work as file transfer. ## Tablet: Wayteq xTab-100is with Android 4.0.3 and USB 2.0 OTG without Bluetooth ## Phone: Nokia 2700 classic micro USB 2.0

Read External SD card
|
I have a Xoom 2 media edition MZ608-32 3G, immediately after receiving it I upgraded it to ICS 4.0.4 and rooted it. However the beast won't mount any SD card that is put in its external storage. I have a 32G sd card that is formatted as fat32, it reads perfectly well on my p1000 and the PC. window's chkdsk also said disk is OK, so the problem is the xoom. Does anyone know of a solution to make the xoom mount the card properly?

Samsung Galaxy S3 random reboot during clipboard use
|
I have a UK sim-free Samsung Galaxy S3. It's had official OTA updates only, and is not rooted or modified in any way. It's running Jelly Bean. Since getting the Jelly Bean upgrade it's possible to get the phone to reboot by using cut and paste functionality. I've achieved this with both the Gmail app and Chrome. I've seen it on other people's phones too. I've performed a factory reset and the problem continues. To reproduce, load up Chrome and then long-press on any webpage with text, select a little text, and then either press the highlighted text or the `copy to clipboard` icon (two overlapping rectangles). After between 1 and 20 attempts, my phone will reboot. Sometimes it will reboot when I paste something; for example a URL into the URL bar at the top of Chrome's screen. I've not been able to reproduce this on the stock browser, despite a number of attempts, nor on any other apps (apart from Gmail). I'd be interested to hear if any other people are affected by this.

Wireless picture transfer
|
I have a Galaxy S3 phone and a new Galaxy Tab 3 which I'm trying to transfer pictures to. My phone will find the tablet when it scans for nearby devices in settings menu, but when I try to transfer via WiFi direct or AllShare the tablet is never found. I have no problems using these two methods when sharing with our Samsung Smart TV, but it is proving difficult to do so with the tablet.

SGS with CM10 says sdcard is full although there is plenty of space

I've been using CM10 on my SGS for almost a month now and yesterday the sdcard became full somehow although it isn't. I can't take photos or download files. The SD-card has plenty of space, in fact all 3 memory spaces visible in Settings-> Storage have over 500MB each. Any idea what the problem might be?

Does anybody know how to fix it?

Restoring stock Rom to HTC desire S
|
OK, I know there's stuff out there on this - but tbh I can't understand it. I have a UK HTC Desire S on T-mobile. I used the official HTC download to upgrade to ICS last year (it was not OTA but on their website). However, when I came to unlock the phone recently (to allow my daughter to use it on another network) I cannot get it to prompt me for the unlock code. I've performed a "factory reset" but that didn't help, and the best advice I can find online seems to indicate I should restore the original OS. But I've not the faintest idea how to do this. I'm not sure what other info to give - it is currently running 4.0.4 and Sense 3.6. IF there's a dummies guide to this somewhere, I'm happy to be pointed - but I can't find it.

I need to set up the default store place for contacts as now every time it wants to save to sim card which is not as functional. I have to change it, dismiss the warning about lost information (even with zero info entered and phone allowing for more information to be entered). I read the answers here, but they do not work. In contacts>settings there are only: \- the display options (contacts to display, sort search results by, sort list by, view contacts names as, only contacts with phones) \- general info (sync now, accounts & sync, online search, transfer type) I do not believe that it's impossible to choose the default store location. Even 10 year old phones are capable of these settings. I just can't find these settings. Hopefully someone knows

Is there an app to use PNG for the FFC?
|
This is semi-related to a previous question and I have a new theory I want to test. I am looking for a camera app that will store it's images in PNG format (what screenshots are stored in) instead of the lossy jpeg. Camera FV-5 is the only app I could find that mentions PNG support, but it does not support the FFC.

How can I prevent applications from running on startup?
|
> **Possible Duplicate:** > How can I stop applications and services from running? I've installed some applications that I mostly like, except for the fact that they all decided they were too important not to auto-start. None of them give me any option _within_ the application to disable the auto-start "feature." Can I stop these applications from auto-starting? And if so, how? Note: My phone is not rooted, so I'm especially interested in solutions that do _not_ require a rooted device, but all answers are welcome, even if they require rooting the device, since I may do this eventually. Also note: I'd prefer **not** to fiddle around with clumsy auto-kill features in task-killer programs, as I've found them to be incredibly unreliable on my phone (Motorola Milestone/Droid).

apps automatically starting?
|
> **Possible Duplicate:** > How can I stop applications and services from running? I noticed that some apps automatically starts without me opening it. Some of them runs everytime I turn on the phone (so they are like Windows startup apps in some way). Some others automatically run without an apparent reason, I killed it, and the next time i look at my phone it's there again. by the way I use Advanced Task Killer to kill and see the list of all active apps. And even weirder, some apps are apparently triggered by opening the android market. What is the mechanics of this, and how do I control which app can automatically run?

How do you prevent pre-installed (unremoveable) Android tasks/apps from ever starting without rooting your phone?
|
> **Possible Duplicate:** > How can I stop applications and services from running? Some apps are necessary for notifications. For example, without the facebook process, there'd be no facebook notifications. But other apps, like Qik or Samsung MediaHub, don't need to be running be I don't use them at all whatsoever, and i do not receive notifications from them!!!! How do I stop that? Not just kill apps, but prevent them from ever starting without rooting?

How to prevent apps running in background
|
> **Possible Duplicate:** > How can I stop applications and services from running? i've an Xperia X10 Mini. This Android devices is limited in hardware: a 600Mhz processor and 128 mb ram. So i'd like to install new apps, but i don't like to have a lot of apps running in background. For example, Facebook app, GDrive, Dropbox ... are great, but why 'damn' thei must run in background either if i don't want to use them at the moment ? This cause my device to run slowly, very slowly... I know that facebook app for example, 'must' stay in background so it can inform me for a new 'friend post' .. but i don't need it! Also Gdrive, Dropbox, Gmail etc: they 'must' stay in background to inform me for something.. but i'm not interested !!! If i want to check mail... i click to gmail.. if i want to check my friend post... i click facebook ! What i want is a responsive smartphone for basic operation (call, sms etc.), and i'm sure a 600mhz processor with a basic 'android' installation and without background app can go fast as a double core Arm with 100 running app !!!! So, at the moment i disinstall them, and my device back to run good, with no slowdowns. I also have installed Advanced Task Killer, but it kills apps each hour, or 30minutes: it don't prevent an app to run in background. Does exists an app that kill others app each time they start in background, immediately ?
