40179 | what apps are running? | A few months back I started developing an app that read incoming sms messages and saved them in a db. A few days ago I went to revisit the app and had a quick look in the db where I discovered the app was still recording my texts!?! I can't find any mention of my app running on the android apps option under settings or in advanced task killer. How can I find out if it's running or not? It's bizarre! |

41593 | Auto rotation, proximity sensor issues in Xperia Arc S after updating to ICS | My auto-rotation and sensors was working fine in my Xperia Arc S with Gingerbread, but when I updated it to Ice Cream Sandwich via Sony PC Companion, now the auto-rotation and some sensors are not working. I have also checked it by reflashing the other custom ROM, but same problem exists there. I guess its a Sony's built-in bugs, because I have also checked other Xperia Arc S with ICS, same issues exists there. Any help in this regards will be highly appreciated! Please help me how to fix it, or any other alternate to auto-rotation and how to turn off proximity sensor manually. |
41594 | Should I reboot my phone regularly? | After noticing that my Galaxy S3 sometimes grew slow after a week or so of not rebooting, I set up a Llama task which reboots my phone automatically every night (under certain conditions).

74967 | Saving pix from Google camera to SD card | I have tried all the suggestions in the forum, but to no avail... What I have: Galaxy S4, 8GB internal, 64GB SD card, Omega ROM with Android 4.3 (TouchWiz); has Samsung camera AND Google camera (with Photosphere) which I prefer much more than the Samsung camera. Samsung camera makes it easy to store pix on ext. SD card. Cannot find any setting or way to do the same with Google camera. Even tried deleting DCIM on internal SD card, hoping I would be asked where I wanted to store pix. But DCIM and subfolders were just recreated on the internal SD card. With only 8GB internal, I need to clear more space out. That's why this is so important. Any help? |

54558 | Installing Android 4.1 or higher on Sony Tipo with permanently locked bootloader | My operator (Telecom HU) has disabled unlocking the bootloader of my Sony Tipo. I would like to get Android 4.1 or higher on my device, but so far this seems impossible. I successfully installed ParadoxRom, but I found out that it is just a re-skin of the same android version I had before. My choice would be installing Cyanogenmod 10, but every tutorial I've seen so far relies on unlocking the bootloader, and as I found out from the service menu, this is impossible in my case.  If this doesn't prevent me from upgrading to 4.1 or higher, I would like to know what rom(s) can I use that are _actually_ a newer operating system rather than a heavily edited ICS. |

I've seen this answer which is outdated. The menu option `Own numbers` discribed in the answer is not there in ICS. The navigation terms might be called differently, as I manually translated the names from German. |
64800 | Print from android to thermal printer via USB OTG | I have a thermal printer - more specifically it's this one Connects to PC fine through supplied driver setup file, however ideally I want to connect it through my Nexus 7 or any new Android tablet so I can set it to print all emails automatically as they bounce in. (Orders). I've tried all the apps, POS printer, Printershare etc. and nothing is picking up the printer. Which makes me think I need to somehow get the driver onto the Android. It's connected through USB OTG. Is this even possible with this device? Any advice would be majorly appreciated. This is the ideal solution for me, bluetooth devices wouldn't work for me I think but if there are devices that are compatible with Android I'm listening, of course getting this to work would be a big plus. Thanks Warren |
38745 | Check and fix SD card errors within Android itself? | Sometimes my SD card gets "corrupted" and this leads to many read/write errors. Usually, connecting the SD card to the windows 7 and selecting the "Error Checking" _(Right click the drive > Tools > Error Checking)_ option finds the corruption and fixes it. Is there any tool or app for checking SD cards for drive errors and fixing the same **from within the android itself**? I'd also like to mention that I'm on rooted froyo with busybox installed. |
38747 | UMS protocol on Android Tabs | I'd like to have a android tablet on ics which allow UMS (usb mass storage) I saw that some of the current models didn't propose UMS (like galaxy tab 2 or google nexus), only MTP. It sounds like a problem for me because I have to retrieve the file programatically from a c# application. do you know some models compliant with UMS ? or a way to activate UMS on my already bought Galaxy tab 2 10.1'. Regards |
34899 | Syncing music without iTunes...or can you? | I just switched from iPhone to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and realized that music syncing isn't going to be the same - but maybe it can be better. I downloaded doubleTwist from the Play Store because it had gotten amazing reviews on the web and the reviews on the Play Store seemed to back up the love it was getting on the web. I tried to connect via USB and then became aware of the "USB mass storage" setting being unavailable in Jelly Bean 4.1.1. I paid for doubleTwist AirSync and it stunk. So now, if I just move folders of music over to my Note 2, it's all recognized by the standard player, but I'd really like to sync it all and not just add and delete folders. Is there one good app that will sync my music, let me create play lists, show album art and details and won't force me to sync over Wi-Fi? When it comes down to it, is there a way to get functionality like iTunes, but for Android? |
34898 | Convert + to 00 for international calling | I am currently overseas, using a foreign SIM card in my phone. Since I travel often, all of my contacts are stored in international format (e.g. +12125551212 or +4474567899). However, my foreign carrier does not allow international dialing via +countrycode (i.e. +1), only via 00countrycode (i.e. 001). Additionally, I had thought I would be able to use Google Voice for my calls back to the U.S. and therefore have my Google Voice caller ID show on outbound calls, but Google Voice also dials the access number via +countrycode so the call fails as well. Is there any way to set my phone to automatically dial 00 instead of the + without having to modify all of my contacts? **Edit:** I just noticed there are several apps that do this. If anyone knows of a native solution, please reply. **Edit 2:** I just tried a couple of these apps. While they do work, when I try to use them with Google Voice, they replace the + prefix for the destination number, not the Google Voice access number. I need a way to have Google Voice dial its access number with 001 instead of +1. |
30539 | Why I can't sync contacts with Twitter/Facebook accounts in Jelly Bean 4.1.1? | With my Samsung Galaxy Nexus I can't sync my contacts (from Google Contacts) with those from Twitter/Facebook.

34893 | Where does Android store the "default application for file type (open with)" settings? | Where does Android store the default application settings that connects each type of content with a designated application? I mean which application open each kind of file or content type so if I got two PDF readers and I downloaded a PDF file android will use one of them without letting the user an option to choose. I know I can clear the default settings of an application but it's not what I'm looking for. I want to find the table/database/file that android uses for this. Is it in a sqlite database file? Where is it stored ? |
34892 | Google talk/voice not ringing on my PC when I am logged in on my Android phone | I use my Google voice number as my main number at my desk. The calls ring in Gmail and I answer them there as well as make calls there from my address book. With fellow Gmail/GApps users, I also receive calls via the "voice chat" feature in GMail. However, ever since I got my Galaxy S3, if I am not active in the GMail window, voice chats ring only on my phone and Google Voice calls do not ring at all unless I go back and do something in the GMail window prior to the call. The calls just ring and ring and eventually go to voicemail (in the case of Google Voice calls). Google voice is configured to send calls only to my PC - I do not want to receive calls on my Android while I am at my desk. |

34894 | Use Quick Responses with Google Voice | One of the most useful features introduced in Ice Cream Sandwich is "Quick Responses": the ability to send a default SMS message to the caller. "Can't talk now. Will call you back." etc. However, I'm 100% Google Voice. I only ever give out my GV number, and I don't want to broadcast my actual cell phone number by using a Quick Response. Is there a way to use them with Google Voice? |

18158 | How do I root a Huawei X3? | I have a Huawei X3 (U8510) which I've purchased for testing Android applications I'm developing. I'd like to root this, but as I've not had any experience with rooting Android handsets, its something I'm approaching with some caution. What is the recommended way to root the X3? I've found mention of a Windows app called SuperOneClick, which looks like it may be useful. My development machine is a Mac, but I'm not adverse to using Windows apps to do this if its easier. |
15602 | Can I restore a Titanium backup from an Incredible to a Captivate? | I had an HTC Incredible that I backed up with Titanium Backup Pro. I just got a Samsung Galaxy Captivate and wish to restore the backup, but when I go to restore, the app doesn't find the backup on the SD card. I went into the SD card and confirmed the backup is there. Is it possible that I can't restore from an HTC phone to a Samsung one? If so, can I at least restore the apps on the SD card? Any suggestions? |

18153 | How to prevent adb shell from exiting upon Ctrl+C | When I `adb shell` into my device (from Windows desktop), and run some command there, sometimes I want to terminate that command.

How can I terminate just the current program inside the shell, not the shell itself? |
5503 | My phone keeps slowing down and burning battery. How can I debug performance and cpu consumption? (DHD 2.2) | I know there are already a lot of threads about suggestions on how to improve performance and, strongly related, save battery life on your android. I also have tried most of the tools to diagnose problems (eg. WatchDog). Problem is, my brand new HTC Desire HD will often be snappy and responsive, sometime get a few slow downs, and not-so-rarely start being completely unresponsive, as bad as my previous iPhone 3G which I gave away for exactly that reason. Also, battery would last less than 24hours even with extremely little use of the display (a huge battery drainer indeed), with background- data and auto-sync on, without GPS and with half of the time WiFi connection and for the rest WiFi off. WatchDog is usually not seeing anything weird. No process seems taking a huge hit on the CPU even when the phone is acting slowly; just today I got a first warning - HTC Sense Background 99.9%. So I would like to go a bit deeper in my debug. I /could/ uninstall all applications I installed, but I'd rather understand what is really causing the problem. So this is the real question: how can I better debug what's going on inside my Android? Does anybody have some tutorial/tools/suggestions? I guess going with adb from my PC might provide more information, any hint/feedback? _Some additional information after feedback from DarthNoodles..._ NB. I'm not putting it here to 'debug' my own phone on this forum, just to provide comparison information! ## standard Battery Consumption info If i've been using the phone, i get 'Display' to take most of the battery usage - ~60% on average (is that too much?). If not, it's 'Android OS' which takes on average about 60%, and 'Android System' usually about 10-15% There usually is no installed application appearing there ## hidden debug hey that's great! I might not have yet learned about everything but i'll try to write down what I see... Since it has a graphical, not numerical display I'll rate '100' the first, longest bar and make an estimation of the other ones. **CPU usage** (for all time of timing a get a similar distribution) * 'init' has a HUGE blue+red bar; Android System comes 2nd with a tiny 1px blue bar **Partial wake usage** _Total Time_ * 'HTC Sense' 100 blue bar * 'Android System' 30 blue bar * less for the rest _Since last unplugged_ * 'Android System' 100 blue bar * 'HTC Sense' 30 blue bar * 'Mail' 5 blue bar * ... * 'UID 10013' 'partial Wakelock' ~2 blue bar! **Other Usage** _Total all time_ * Running 35.8% * Screen on 11.1% * Phone on 0.8% * Wifi On 41.6% * Wifi Running 41.6% * BlueTooth On 6.6% _Since last unplugged_ * Running 37.5% * Screen on 3.8% * Phone on 1.8% * Wifi On 45.8% * Wifi Running 45.8% I am under the impression that it's HTC Sense or some other android process that is taking my resources... but I don't really understand why yet... ## WatchDog Getting some warnings for 'com.htc.bgp' taking too much cpu (~55%) Thanks! |
52301 | How to enable USB debug on Note 2? | No matter what setting I change, my Samsung Note 2 is always entering "USB media mode" instead of "debug mode". I have the USB debug option set and the Google USB driver from the SDK installed, but `adb devices` shows nothing. Enabling USB debug on my Nexus and plugging it in gives the debug mode just fine and `adb devices` shows it. If I plug the USB in the Note 2 with USB debug enabled, the notification shows _"Connected as media device"_. If relevant my device is running Android v4.1.2. |

35427 | Get internet access via bluetooth | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Is Internet tethering possible on Android phone via bluetooth or WiFi? > Tethering Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3110) via Nokia E71 In the era of PDA's most of them could connect to internet by pairing them with internet enabled dumbphones. I would like to do the same with an android device however I can't seem to find ANY app that would allow me to do that. There's a few that allow you to share the android devices internet access via bluetooth but not the other way around. Is there an app out there that would allow me to access internet via bluetooth? Is it available natively in some android version? (Device that I have is 2.3.5 and I don't have access to newer versions) (Maybe someone would like to write one?) |
23571 | Tethering Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3110) via Nokia E71 | I have a data plan on my Nokia E71 phone, and I would like to share it for my brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3110) which has no 3G. Bluetooth would be fine as would creating a WiFi hotspot, however so far I haven't gotten any method to do the trick. Even wired by USB would be fine, if it just worked. * On the Nokia E71 I have JoikuSpot installed, but stock Android ICS does not work with the ad hoc network that it creates. I rooted the tab and tried installing different versions of `wpa_supplicant` that I could find, but none of them really worked on this tab. * I have paired the devices using Bluetooth, which appears to work fine – however, I don't know how exactly I could get connected to the internet. I believe there is something obvious that I've missed here. If I need some app (in either end), please tell me which app. (I guess it basically does not work because Nokia does no PAN while Android is ignorant of DUN, but I might be very wrong.) * I don't have any cables that I could use to connect the devices by USB or similar, but if a working solution exists, I would be happy to buy some. (I've already used many many hours for this.) **EDIT** : I no longer have the Nokia phone, nor the Samsung Tab, so I cannot really test the suggestions posted here. As far as I am concerned, this question can be closed. (While I do understand that any answers might be helpful for other people, I still cannot test whether they work or not. Therefore, it also does not make a lot of sense to accept any answer, does it?) |
52309 | How can I root my TCL Idol X (S950) with Linux? | I have a TCL Idol X (S950) phone and I found out that I can root in using 'V-Root' (a Chinese software) however the software is for Windows. The problem is that I don't have Windows, more explanation at the end. **More in detail:** V-Root is this soft: http://www.mgyun.com If I well understood (Rooting/unlocking Android Nexus One with broken power button using Linux terminal tools) the rooting usually just install `su` command using some vulnerability in the Linux Kernel or in a daemon ... or any other similar vulnerability in the Android OS. **Reason** You may wonder why I'm not just grab a Windows pc from one of my friend and in my opinion there are a couple of reason for this: * Android (or better Android/Linux ) is using Linux kernel so in make sense to have some standard procedure to root on Linux too * Many of the Win. Root solution are shipped with some custom soft that we can not really trust ( for example V-Root, beside the fact that is in Chinese and few people non-chinese can understand it, how can I trust that it is not doing any malicious operation on my phone ? ) * Most of the tutorial/forum thread are Windows oriented, so there are few and spare info related to Linux **So my question:** Is there a possibility to achieve the above on Linux? If not, is there any other method I can use on Linux? |
47339 | removing account with 2 emails | my primary email address in my google account was not gmail. I used this google account in my android device for a while. Then, I started using Gmail and it became my primary address (my former email address is still in the account, but its not anymore the primary email in it anymore). I want to remove my former email address from the account & sync, but it says: "Removing this account will delete all of its messages, contacts, and other data from the phone!". will my personal messaging and contacts be deleted? or it means they will just be deleted from the cloud? after all, its the same google account with different emails (the primary and my former). what will happen to the apps? are they going to be deleted too? hope I was clear enough... Thank you! |
47332 | Can I lock the Nexus 4/7 bootloader after flashing a non-stock ROM? | I know that doing a `fastboot oem unlock` will both unlock the bootloader and wipe the data on the device. Unfortunately, while this allows me to install a non-stock ROM like Cyanogenmod, my understanding is that it also allows anyone w/ physical access to the device to flash or boot a different (potentially malicious) kernel among other things. Is it possible to then do a `fastboot oem lock` and still be able to load the non-stock ROM? If this is possible, what sort of warnings might appear, if any, during the boot process? And finally, would doing another `fastboot oem unlock` still wipe the data? I understand that also flashing a recovery like CWM OR TWRP would allow flashing malicious images even ifthe bootloader is locked. Please assume that only the default recovery would be used. Additionally, is doing something like this to secure a non-stock ROM posdible on any non-nexus devices? |

35854 | Mute Emergency alert in Google Now (without removing it) | Google Now has a neat feature (at least I think it's from Google Now) where it warns you for emergency events. The problem is it's just warned me twice in half an hour with an extremely loud tone about a snowstorm I've known about for days. Is there some way I can make the phone vibrate or change the ringtone? I only see an option to disable these alerts entirely. It's not my default notification/alarm ringtone; it's a special LOUD warning tone. Good at attracting attention but major overkill. I would like to still get them, but I would like them to be much quieter (yes, even though they're "emergencies") as my phone blaring loud warning tones at work is quite distracting. |

Why is it recommended to be `0M`? |
35852 | Is there a way to log off from your Android 4.2 tablet user account? | One of the nice features introduced in Android 4.2 Jelly Bean on tablet devices is the ability to create user accounts just like you do on desktop operating systems. However, as far as I can see, there doesn't seem to be a log-off option available anywhere that would result in e.g. **stopping all processes initiated by a user**. The only standard option in the multi-user environments world I can see is switching between user accounts. In order to do that, all I need to do on my Google Nexus 7 tablet is lock the screen and then unlock it by hitting the hardware on/off button; on the screen that shows up you can select what user account you'd like to log in to. This is quite important as I am worried the processes started by other users might have an impact on the performance of the device. |
35851 | Enable wallpaper scrolling for HTC Sense 4+ | My htc one x just got updated to HTC Sense 4+. Just yesterday, there was another update but I don't quite know what that update was for. Anyway, with sense 4+, the wallpaper doesn't scroll when I go to different panels. Furthermore, I don't quite like carousel either. I thought the widgets have become a lot more stylish, though. How do I enable wallpaper scrolling with sense 4+ now? If that is not possible, how do I roll back to HTC sense 4? I don't like Go Launcher because, I think, the widgets are not as good as the HTC ones; so I'd rather not replace sense with something else. Is this somehow possible at all, please? I am willing to root my phone, if needed, to get the wallpaper scrolling back. Thanks. |
39163 | Fastboot setserial command | I noticed that a lot of descriptions of fastboot mention a command named `setserial` which not available in the current version that comes with Android SDK. You can see the complete list of commands including setserial, for example here. The missing setserial command is not the only command missing in the current version. The setserial command sounds very interesting for some tests I want to perform. **Does anybody has experience with that command and know where to get a fastboot binary that supports it?** Furthermore it would be interesting if current Android devices still allow to change the serial - may be this was only possible on the G1 and Nexus One? |

35858 | Lost all files on /sdcard when transfering files from PC | I just tried to transfer files from my PC (Win7) via USB MTP onto my Nexus7 which seemed to work as usual. When I tried to locate them on the tablet, I noticed that the complete /sdcard folder is still there, but empty. Also the /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/emulated. This actually happend the second time, but the first time I just had updated to 4.2.1 and I thought I must've missed some instructions about backing up the files first, so I (falsely) assumed it was my error. The device is the 16gb wifi only version running current android 4.2, it's been rooted after purchase in summer using Nexus Root Toolkit 1.5.3. I have only one user set up: me alias the owner. I just use the usual popular play store apps like nova launcher, total commander, firefox and stuff, nothing special. |
19608 | Galaxy Nexus screen flashes and brightness issues on various button taps and screens | While using my Galaxy Nexus at night in the dark, I started experiencing issues where the screen would flash for a moment to what felt like full brightness when I tap on certain buttons. It seems inconsistent, but frequent. I've had it happen when pressing the back button in various apps, or switching to different apps in the application switcher. It's bright enough to say that it kind of hurts my eyes. It also seems like certain screens get locked into full brightness. One example is the main timeline screen of the official Twitter app. I have Automatic Brightness turned off, and the brightness slider at the lowest setting. Any ideas as to what causes this? Is there some setting I'm missing? |

26621 | Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10 really incapable of connecting to ad hoc Wi-Fi? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Does any version of Android support ad-hoc connections? > Why can't my device see an ad-hoc WiFi network? I created an ad hoc Wi-Fi network on my Windows XP laptop but I don't see it in my Samsung's network list. Why? I found instructions online on how to unlock ah hoc Wi-Fi support on Android. Is it really impossible to connect to ad hoc networks by default? What is the alternative? How can I connect my laptop and Tab? **UPDATE** I saw that ad hoc Wi-Fi is now called Wi-Fi Direct. Is this true? But settings for XP's ad hoc Wi-Fi are unrelated to Android's Wi-Fi Direct: the former requires an SSID and a key, while the latter requires only a device name. Also, Android's Wi-Fi Direct scanner sees no ad hoc network being published by the XP laptop. |

12807 | App for calling a list of contacts, one after another | My daily commute is rather long, and I make lots of phone calls while driving. Dialing while driving is illegal, so I have to stop by, dial, and drive again, which is inefficient, time consuming and unsafe. Is there a way to create a list of contacts in advance, so that my Android will dial all the contacts on the list one after another? |

Thank you in advance. |

12722 | Calendar and facebook events and birthdays | I'm using the native calendar in my Android 2.2. I'm also using Simple Calendar Widget but I don't think it has anything to do with my problem. A few weeks ago everything was perfect. I had synced 3 calendars from the same gmail account and the calendar of my facebook account. So I could see the events in gmail's calendars, facebook's events and facebook's birthdays. Now, for some reason, facebook's birthdays dissapeared. How can I do to get them back? I read about exporting facebook calendar, but this way if after importing it in my calendar I add a friend in facebook, it's birthday wont appear, right? Thanks! |
46802 | CM10.1, GS II, Mount command for encrypted sdcard0 | **Question** : What is the syntax for the mount command within android to mount an encrypted file system? **Context** : I'm using CM10.1 (currently cm-10.1-20130604-NIGHTLY-I9100) on a Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100) and have encrypted my internal sdcard. On AndrOId 4.2 the internal sdcard (which is not a physical sdcard, rather a partition of the devices memory) is /storage/sdcard0, it has a link that points to /sdcard After encrypting and rebooting the 3rd or 4th time sdcard0 doesn't mount. Further reboots don't fix the problem. /storage/sdcard1 (the physically removable sdcard) mounts fine. When sdcard0 was mounted properly the output of the "mount" command included the following line which is now missing. `tmpfs on /storage/sdcard0 type tmpfs (rw,relatime,mode=050,gid=1028)` So, 1. What is the proper format of the mount command to remount this drive? 2. Any suggestions on how to fix or trouble shoot this problem?

81356 | How to use one Android phone as a handsfree device to another (via WI-FI)? | I have an extra Android device (a mobile phone, Samsung Galaxy Y Duos, S6102B, Android 2.3.6 - rooted), that I call D1 here, and would like to use it as my "car brain", like a low-cost multimedia central, to do a lot of things. On this question, I would like to know: * If I have another Android device, called here D2; * How to play every sound from D2 on D1 using WI-FI connection. Example: 1. I'm on a call on D2. When I enter the car and turn D1 on, when routed wi-fi from D2 is connected on D1, I can drive and continue talking via D1 (like a handsfree device), with D2 on my pocket; 2. I'm hearing music on D2 with my headphones. When I enter the car and turn D1 on, when routed wi-fi from D2 is connected on D1, I can hear the music from D2. |
43521 | What is the differrences between Talk and Google+ Messenger? | Both are the chatting tools of Google. I use Talk since I use Gmail to chat with my friend and when I see Google+ Messenger, I just thought it is Talk but the two are NOT the same at all - i.e. chatting with one person on Talk and he/she will NOT receive it Google+ Messenger. This is so confusing. What is the differences then? Why there are two chat tools like this? _Update_ The funny thing is that Google+ Messenger is used for chatting with Google+ users from Android phone. But when I log in my Google+ page, I can ONLY talk with Talk friends !?!? I want to continue my last chat with a friend on Google+ from my PC, but now I cannot. So funny!  |

17529 | How can I distinguish important calls? | I'm a freelancer and have a somewhat erratic work schedule, so it is rather difficult for me to tell people at which times I'm available, which means that occasionally people call me while I'm at a client's site. I'd rather not blanket reject or ignore calls as occasionally there is something urgent that needs my attention. **Now I'd like to have my phone on silent while I'm at the customer site, but ring when the same person calls another time within five minutes of being ignored.** Is there an app that can do this already, or can it be done as an app within the normal permission framework? |
17526 | Launcher without home screen? | Is there a launcher software for my Android device (in this case Galaxy S2) that doesn't have a home screen, but only the App drawer? If I can give example it would be an iOS; you unlock and you are instantly on applications. The reason for this is I don't really use widgets at all, and I don't see the point in having a home screen only for apps shortcuts if I would have only menu (app draw). |
17527 | Are PIN lock and lock screen widgets incompatible in ICS? | My wife has a Bionic and I've got a Galaxy Nexus. So she has the older Android version and I've got ICS. We both use PIN locks. On her phone, she first has to swipe-unlock to get to the PIN screen, which means her first screen has lock widgets on it. On my phone, I only see the PIN screen. This means I don't have any lock widgets, which is disappointing. I have to unlock my phone in order to mess with music that is playing. My question is: is this an ICS issue or is there a setting I missed that lets me see the lock screen (with widgets) before the PIN screen? |

17523 | How can I prevent transfers breaking when using from from LAN to Local using ES Explorer? | I'm using ES Explorer to copy files from LAN to Local. If it's a large transfer that will likely run past the time when I allow the phone to sleep, there seems to be a good chance that the transfer will break and the transfer in the notification area just stops. I can't remove it, and the transfer icon in the notification bar continues to be animated. Force stopping ES Explorer gets rid of the transfer. How can I prevent large transfers from breaking?

When I get a navigation instruction I want the audio book to pause, then resume where it left off. Google navigation just mutes every audio book player I've found (doesn't pause/resume), NDrive (preferred) just plays over the top of the audio book. I've tried AudioBook player 2 (free) and MortPlayer (Audio Book). Ideally I'd like to continue to use NDrive and find an audiobook player that works with it, but if that's not possible any combination of navigation / audiobook player would do.
