Looking for an app to update/sync all services on demand
**The problem** : When I goto the toilet at work, there is no signal at all, so my smart phone isn't particularly useful at the times it should be. **The solution** : Run an app via a button/shortcut/widget that forces Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, Google+ etc to update _before_ I go so I have some reading material. Does such an app exist?

Cyanogen: add homescreen shortcut to Notifications
I'm using Cyanogen 7 on an HTC Wildfire. I find swiping the top of the screen to get into Notifications a bit hit and miss, and too tiring : ) Is there some way to get a notifications shortcut onto the homescreen (or the menu for the homescreen). For example, the Sense ROM had a shortcut to notifications in the homescreen menu, and that was pretty handy.

Replace notification bar
The default notification bar in Nexus S is very basic. It doesn't have any toggle buttons like others do. Can I replace it?

Call Recorder not using microphone to record the other side
Any Call Recorders that are digital - not using my microphone to listen to what is said in the other end? What about recording calls over Bluetooth? (It seems most most of these applications record what goes into my microphone, and listen to the other side through my microphone, often turning up the speaker to do that)

QR scanner that doesn't want to access my contact list
(I am new to Android and to this site, so please bear with me if my question is extremely stupid and if I got the tags all wrong. Feel free to improve, though.) I want an app to scan the occasional QR code which usually should contain an URL. The other day I meant to download an app for that and searched the market for one that does _not_ want access to all my contacts, my granny's underpants, and whatever else it could get its grubby hands on — to no avail. How is it that they all want to dig into my ~~pants~~ contacts? Am I missing something or is that really just data mining on the app writers' part?

Hebrew word suggestions on ICS
I have a Galaxy Nexus with Ice Cream Sandwich OS installed, and I write emails and text messages in Hebrew and English. The English keyboard has as-you-type word suggestions that appear (in blue) bove the keys while typing. The Hebrew keyboard does not have that feature (it only suggest to complete contact names). How do I add word suggestions to my device?

Update Market Application to Google Play Market Application
I have the problem with latest update which re-brands "Market" app to "Google Play Market" app. At one moment "Market" icon disappeared from both home screen and applications. I was seeking for the solution to that, found some (weird at the time) "Play Market" update installed and have uninstalled it. This brought back "Market" application. Later I have seen that this was a silent patch which I should not uninstall! Problem is, that, when I start "Market" app it ONLY displays following page in browser: https://play.google.com/about/android-developer-policies.html I am stuck here with this page, and the app is not updating again to "Play Market" Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Folder hierarchy messed up after upgrading my phone to Jelly Bean!
my HTC Desire X recently got an update to JB 4.1.1 but after the update, the folders are not getting diaplayed in their original hierarchy in the music player apps like PowerAmp and also the default HTC Music player. Like lets say I have three folders A, B, C and they each contain three more subfolders A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3..... But in the folder view of PowerAmp, all the folders are listed recursively in a single list e.g. A,A1,A2,A3,B,B1,B2,B3,C,C1.C2,C3!!! Also note that in this case the folders A, B and C are only containing files other than those three subfolders. I initially thought this was an issue with PowerAmp but since it's happening with the default music as well, I came to a conclusion the issue lies somewhere. Any way to fix this?

Is Google Play Music the same as the stock Android Music App?
Is Google Play Music (formerly Google Music) the same app as the stock Android Music app? I have a Nexus S running Android 2.3.6. I live in a country, Italy, where the Google Play Music service is not yet available. Some time ago, due to an Android Market glitch, then Google Music appeared among the apps installed on my phone. The Market kept nagging me to update to the latest versions, which always failed because the app is not installed and I can't install it from the Market in my country. Before uninstalling the Google Play Music app entry, I'd like to make sure it's not the same as the stock Music app, which I instead want to keep.

DropBear dropping connections

Problem purchasing android apps
I bought humble bundle for PC, which comes with some games available on android market, played the games a bit, uninstalled, then I went to market and wanted to buy a second copy of OSMOS HD, but it still shows as purchased and I don't have it on my Galaxy S2 anymore, and yes, I cleared cache, uninstalled market updates, cleared dalvik cache, reinstalled and uninstalled game to see if it worked...I wanted to buy it again because of the easier updates, but market won't allow me. Also, I installed another game, Generation of Chaos which I didn't pay for it, then uninstalled, did the same procedures as OSMOS HD above, and I want to buy it on market, but it still shows as purchased and will not download. Any ideas/tips ?

Samsung Galaxy S2 factory-reset lead to boot-loop
I have a _Samsung Galaxy S2_. I factory-reset my phone from the _Settings_ option, but it is taking too much time. It has been 24 hours already, but the device is only boot-looping. I've also tried to boot into recovery-mode (by holding the `Vol+` and `Vol-` buttons while pressing `Power`), but this boot- looped as well. How can I solve this problem? The device is rooted, if that's any help.

How can I change SELinux from Enforcing to Permissive on Samsung Galaxy Note 3?
My device is Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005. This phone comes with SELinux set to Enforcing by default. I have been trying to change this to permissive but to no avail. I built the kernel from source code following Samsung instructions, and added a line to init.rc file in the ramdisk: "setenforce 0" and this worked, however WiFi broke and I am not clued up on kernel development. I have tried, as root, running "setenforce 0" in terminal and via adb. There is no error, however it stays Enforcing. I am running out of options have looked through the init files in the Samsung source code and cannot find anywhere where Samsung set SELinux to be Enforcing. Any help will be vastly appreciated!

Cannot install google play services
My HTC Desire S (Rooted and installed with Sabsa Prime ROM) have Avast Mobile Security as antivirus. Recently I was given a free Premium Security code by Avast. But I'm unable to update the code on to Avast as the following error message is shown. "Google Play Services, which some of your applications rely on,is not supported by your device. Kindly contact the manufacturer for assistance". I have tried installing the Play Services via Google Play Store as well as manual apk installation, but still it doesn't work. Manual apk installation did say the installation success, but even after rebooting, the Avast says the same error message. HTC Desire S does support Play services, as said by Google Support page. Please help!!

How can I make my Droid2 push Facebook-originated contacts to Google?
On my Droid2 (Android Version 2.2) (System Version.2.3.20.A955.Verizon.en.US), I fully utilize the phone's ability to log into a Google, Facebook, and Twitter account, and link the contacts together. Often it chooses the wrong name to display, but that is another question entirely. I have already set the option in ... (Contacts) -> [Menu] -> "More (+)" -> "Settings" ... to automatically push any newly created contacts to my Google account. If I create a new contact traditionally, via ... (Contacts) -> [Menu] -> "Add contact" ... then it works exactly as expected, creating a new contact in both my Phone Contacts and Google Contacts. However, sometimes there are people I know whom I have no contact information for until I friend them on Facebook. At this point, the only contact I have for them is my Facebook contact. I don't like having to rely on only a Facebook contact, and I always take this opportunity to start a Google Contact for them, duplicating what Facebook has already told me. This is where the unexpected behavior begins. If I select a contact from my phone which is purely a Facebook contact, and click ... ... [Menu] -> "Edit" ... it brings me to the traditional contact editing screen, presenting me with all of their Facebook information as immutable fields, allowing me to manually duplicate this data into what I would expect would be both a Phone Contact and a Google Contact. But it's not!!! After manually re-typing in, say, their birthday, e-mail address, and cellphone number (information traditionally available via Facebook), and I click ... "Save" ... the resulting contact reads as ... Linked profiles (2) Facebook: John D. Phone Contacts: John Doe ... with a Google contact nowhere to be seen!! Even if I initiate a manual resynchronization via ... (Home Screen) -> [Menu] -> "Settings" -> "Accounts" -> "[my Google account]" -> [Menu] -> "Sync now" ... the information is still not pushed to my Google Contacts!! Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Apps' update status in Market app not always reliable?
So this is kind of a two fold question but it all falls under the same umbrella of update status reliability and might even be caused by the same factor. First, this morning I saw that my Logitech Revue remote App had an update, as indicated by the 'Update' label when viewing list of apps. However when I clicked it, the only options were 'Open' and 'Uninstall' I attempted to clear Market's cache and force close it, but still the same thing. 4 Hours later. it worked normally (i.e., providing the update button). What causes this and how can I fix it immediately, rather than just checking back every few hours to see if it was fixed. Second part/example: A couple weeks ago the same issue happened with the system app 'Youtube.' Under my main google app that I use on my phone and all my non-system apps are associated to, I saw the update label, but again same issue as above. When I switched to my other account that I only use for email, I could update Youtube just fine. There seems to be some sort of synchronization problem. The Youtube example lasted for days (with the daily update notifications) before I thought to switch accounts and try it on my secondary google account. The exact same thing happened with Google Maps. I have a stock Droid 3 using stock Market.

Restoring HTC EVO 4G to stock
I bought an HTC Evo off someone and they had it rooted, but for some reason 4G isn't working. I'm not sure if it's because they rooted the phone and it now has wifi tether (idk to much about rooting and ROMs) but could that be the reason why 4G isn't working? If there's a way to fix it I'd appreciate it.

Can I Bluetooth tether my Acer Iconia A500?
Anyone have an Acer A500 (just got mine today) and have luck with bluetooth network tethering. I've got an OG Droid, so WiFi is not a possibility at the moment. Tried the directions here: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/03/01/how- to-bluetooth-tether-to-motorola-xoom-using-original-droid/ but had no luck. I realize that those are for the XOOM, but I was hoping it would be the same since they both run stock honeycomb. I got as far as pairing the devices, but when I click on the droid device on the A500 it shows nothing under profiles, where it should show Tethering. would really like to be able to tether with this until I get a new phone

Emacs on Android
I would like to run emacs on my android phone. Has anyone done this? If so, how can I? I've looked, and I haven't been able to find either an executable or instructions to compile emacs for android. I know cyanogenmod has some unix commands, but I haven't found a list or whether it includes emacs. I don't want to flash my phone without knowing. I've seen many pages on running emacs on "android" via installing Ubuntu. I don't mean running emacs on "android" hardware, I mean running emacs on the android operating system. I'm also aware I can use an app to SSH to a unix box, and that there are online emacs emulators. Again, not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the standard command-line GNU emacs, and I'm aware I'll need to use a terminal emulator app to run it, as well as a bluetooth keyboard to do anything useful. I'm not looking for a GUI app, though that would be better than nothing. I'll accept either a link to a binary, or instructions to compile it.

When installing a custom ROM, why reboot before installing other modifications?
Most ROM install instructions look like... 1. Boot into recovery 2. Wipe Data 3. Flash ROM 4. _Reboot_ 5. _Boot into recovery_ 6. Flash any Mods 7. Reboot 8. Done Mods are modifications to the ROM code. For example, replacing the Power Off menu with one that includes the option to reboot instead of just shut down. Why are steps 4 & 5 needed? I'm having a hard time seeing the purpose. Each reboot the cache rebuilds. Why not just do it once?

ProxyDroid says it connects, but won't access the internet
I'm trying to get my schools proxy to work through ProxyDroid on my Galaxy S3 4.1.1. I can use the proxy fine through the default settings application, but that only allows me to use my browser, no applications. With ProxyDroid I can't even get my proxy to work on the browser, much less any other app. To use my dorm's WiFi (and ethernet) I am forced to log in through the proxy. I'm not sure what the problem could be. I've got the correct url (I also have a proxy.pac option, but it ProxyDroid woudln't read it) and correct authentication. When I enable the proxy in ProxyDroid it says it connects fine, I just can't access the internet. I am rooted.

Google maps shuts down by itself
I noticed that the last couple of months Google Maps shuts down while I am using it for directions in my car. When I re-open the app I have to set the route from scratch unlike when the app is working and somebody presses the home button.It used to work perfectly in the past. I have 2 samsung galaxy pocket plus s5301 devices and they have the same problem with this application. Did google make the app too heavy, for this device to handle(with only 512MB RAM), in the last updates? Thanks in advance

Why does adblock plus ask if I want to update every day?
I have a Galaxy S4, nonrooted and with Adblock Plus installed. However, every day (or every 2 days at most) ABP asks me if I want to install a new update. However, the build number never seems to change. It's been on 318 for a while now, and even if there were to be changes, this smells like a Beta product, which I'm not comfortable with. I want to keep using Adblock Plus to avoid the obnoxious ads, but I also prefer to not get daily updates. any fix for this?

Can I reinstall or upgrade Android?
At the moment I have a rooted Samsung GT-S5570. After I rooted it, I noticed that it started to be slower than it used to be. I have had this phone for over two years. I update my computer's operating system once a year. I am thinking of doing something similar with my smartphone. At the moment I am running Android 2.2.1. I think that an upgrade would not be ideal due to old hardware. What is the best option? To reinstall Android 2.2.1 or upgrade to a newer version? In either case, how do I do it?

Restore deleted photos
I accidentally deleted the entire "downloaded" album full of pictures from my Samsung Galaxy S2 (SPH-D710) and am trying to use a recovery program I downloaded. My phone will not show up as a remove-able storage device on my computer, or on the program. I have tried to change the USB settings on my phone but there is no USB settings when I go to Settings > Wireless and networks as most information instructs. I found the setting for USB debugging by going to Settings > Developer options and can turn that on and off, but that is the only setting I can find relating to USB storage. When I connect it to the USB cord it gives me MTP or PTP options but again no USB options. Any advice??? Thank you!

Samsung - Change password / log-in method with NFC
I had some NFC tags with my Xperia Sola. It could change settings if I touched the tags with the phone, and it was pretty useful. Can one use this "technology" with modern Samsung phones? Both removing/setting the password (with two tags), or just unlocking the screen (one tag) would be awesome. The first would be better, of course. As I could just get home, touch the tag, and then I can use my phone real easy. When I head out or just leave the house, I can touch the password tag and get it locked like I use it on the street. Changing the password/lock settings by hand each time is a real hassle.

Is there a USB only file sync tool?
I've been looking for a tool that will sync to/from an android device running Android 4.4.4 - so it's using MTP when I connect to my computer (running Windows 7) through a USB connection. There are various options that require a drive letter, but MTP doesn't have those. There are various options that use wi-fi and a through-the-internet solution, but I don't want to use the internet for this, I can copy files by hand so there must be SOME way of syncing. Also, I want to use it with pretty big files so I was hoping there would be something that used file deltas. If I wanted to go through the net I would consider RSync, but I don't want to. Ideally I would prefer something free and open source, but I can't find anything at -all-... Am I using the wrong search terms? (android, sync, usb, mtp, "open source", mix as desired.) There are lots of similar questions on here, but as far as I can see they're all answered with a wi-fi sync tool instead of something USB specific.

Can not tap a contact on my android (galaxy note)
My galaxy note is on 2.3.6. Sometimes when I tap on phone icon (or contacts icon), go to Contacts tab, and tap on a contact, nothing happens. I have to go back to home, tap on the contacts icon (or phone icon), go to Contacts tabs, and tap on a contact then i see the person's profile. So basically if I had trouble with the phone icon, I have to repeat with the contacts icon. If I had problems with the contacts icon, i try again but with the phone icon. Sometimes I have to go to an entirely different application all together, then go back to the phone/contacts to try again. How do I get rid of this bug?

How do I reset the phone back to the way it was before? I've tried going into recovery mode, but I don't know how to select any of the options.

Can I make a full backup of my phone with Odin and without root?
As a follow up to this question, is it possible to use Odin (or Heimdall) to save a complete image of my phone without root? Odin already allows me to completely overwrite pretty much everything on my phone without root. Can Odin be used to _read_ the entire contents of the phone over USB without root? Ideally, I'd expect the output of such a read to be something I can write in the future with Odin. While this question is somewhat general, I'm guessing that by asking about Odin and Heimdall I'm limiting it to Samsung phones (though I may be wrong).

Combine SIM contacts to single contact back in phone
I have researched on the net for this and have come accross useful apps like Merge+, Duplicate contacts, etc. But they don't exhibit the feature that i am looking for.. When we copy contacts from phone to SIM, if a contact has multiple numbers associated, each of these numbers gets stored as a separate contact. For example, contact "abc" with numbers num1 and num2 will get stored as two separate contacts abc->num1 and abc1->num2. I want to merge these contacts back to single contact when imported to phone. How can this be accomplished?

THL W3 with v4.0.4 - periodically getting "Restricted Access Changed" and losing all SIM services
What happens exactly: when I use my SIM's data connection, after 1-5 minutes of operation (be it while the phone is active or locked), I get a notification "Restricted Access Changed", losing all SIM services -- voice and data. And I get prompted for my PIN. This _only_ happens when I use the SIM's data connection. Using my home router's Wi-fi never introduces this problem. I had this out of the blue since several weeks ago. I didn't drop or hurt my phone in any way. I tried using SIM cards of 2 of my friends on my phone. They never had problems on their phones (their Android versions are more recent than mine, just pointing that out). Again, after 1-5 mins of idle/active operation on my phone, we get presented with the same error message and PIN input dialog. I tried these: * Reset to factory settings -- no apps, nothing. Only started Play Store and locked the phone. Just a minute later, boom, the same problem. * Removed my SD card. No change. * Tried putting the SIM more firmly in the slot (used some paper to make it fit tighter). No change. Though, I only tried that once and not very stubbornly. I guess I'll try that again in the meantime. * In my mobile network, I only have the options of "GSM / WCDMA (auto)" and "WCDMA only". Using either of both doesn't change anything. * Switching off 3G seems to "fix" this, which is of course no fix at all since the network gets at least 3 times slower. Not to mention I can't view any video, etc. I can't count that as a solution. Here are few links from my google hunt: * Restricted access changed (XDA-Developers) * Unlocked Chinese Android/Restricted Access Changed (Howard Forums) * "Restricted access changed" + "Voice call service blocked" (XDA-Developers) * Restricted access changed (XDA-Developers) * HTC One S is showing, Restricted access changed. Data service is blocked (XDA-Developers) Some thoughts: * I didn't manually install new applications by the time the problem started occuring. * As said, I didn't drop or hurt the phone in any way. * My data plan is having a limit of 1.5GB. I rarely go over 500MB, and the last month was no exception (I am regularly checking the used bandwidth and traffic on the phone). * The phone is rooted. I am periodically getting BusyBox updates -- I suspect that might be the culprit since it updates a plethora of system files. But I admit that I am no expert in rooting and/or flashing Android phones, and the last sentence might have been an extremely nooby statement. Sorry if that's the case. * The problem is consistent: with 3G enabled and only using internet from my SIM (again, not through Wi-fi, the problem is not present there). However, there's no fixed period. It varies between 1 and 5 minutes, even though I had 2-3 cases where it worked properly for ~15 mins. I am suspecting that the moment the phone's networking hardware/software goes over a certain load, the problem occurs. Steps I didn't try: * Flash a new ROM. Thing is, THL don't have more recent ROMs than the one I got the phone with when buying it off a friend. He downloaded the latest image from THL's website and flashed it, then rooted it. We never tried using unofficial ROMs. * Flash only the radio software. (I don't have an idea how this could be done, though.) * Call my mobile provider to ask if my IMEI is blacklisted. Or if they have a malfunctioning cell in the area. (Still though, that can't explain why the problem does occur 6km away in a park as well, so I don't think a malfunctioning tower/cell is to be blamed). * Go to repair shop for diagnostic/repair of the internal antenna. I would like to leave that as a last resort. From what I hear, this could easily cost $100. And that phone costed me $200. If I have to do this, I might just go and buy a brand new Galaxy S4 as well. Still, I don't want to just throw it away. Obviously, even if I replace it, I'd like to be able to sell it and _not_ burn the guy I sell it to. I am out of ideas now. Even though I am by no means an Android expert, I have tried quite a few possible solutions without any effect so far. Can somebody help with this, please?

Android losing BT headset password
I have a Sidekick 4G running 2.2.1. I've had a problem with both stock and custom ROMs randomnly losing the BT connection to my Plantronics Pro headset. Sometimes hitting the connect button on my headset will reconnect it, but eventually it always loses it permanently and I have to unpair, delete it and then re-pair it. If I try to just re-pair, I get this message: "Unable to pair with PROPlantronics. Incorrect PIN or password." This is, needless to say, hugely annoying and oft times very inconvenient (such as when I'm driving and discover my headset can't be used). Anyone have an idea of how to fix this? I never had this problem with the headset on either my G1 or my og Droid...

How can I use Enter to send from a bluetooth keyboard?
I just purchased a Logitech K760 Wireless keyboard for my Nexus 4. I have the keyboard paired properly to my phone, but I am unable to _send_ from the keyboard, when sending IMs via Facebook, Skype, etc. I also have SwiftKey installed, and have tried using both SwiftKey and the default Google Keyboard, and both behave the same way. Is there a configuration option, or add-on app I can use to control how this works? My ideal configuration would have `ENTER` send, and `SHIFT`+`ENTER` (or similar) insert a newline. But I would also be willing to map the _send_ function to one of the F-keys or something else, if that's what I must do. I am using Android 4.4.2.

Should be possible to copy saved data from chinese to english Plants vs Zombies 2?
I'm actually playing the Chinese version of **Plants vs Zombies 2** because the English (or international?) version is not released yet. I don't have idea about Chinese and as you would guess, sometimes is a real pain in the arse, but in the meantime is fine for me, so I'm planning to change it to the English version when that will be out. But I'm worried about losing all my progress from the Chinese version or maybe cannot copying it to the English version. In the best case, where the saved data is the same for both versions, how should I copy it from one version to another? My cellphone should be rooted or should be so simple as copy some files from one folder to another with any file explorer? Is there a chance that all my data is actually stored in the EA servers? I don't know if somebody already had an experience like this one with another game/application in general and how much feasible should be.

Ascend p6 stuck after flashing twrp recovery
I've rooted my Ascend P6 and installed a CWM recovery. I then wanted to flash a TWRP recovery. When I rebooted the phone was stuck on the boot logo. I tried to push boot and recovery Images extracted from the stock firmware but ADB says that remote partition don't exist. I think I've destroyed phone file system. It is stuck at boot logo, and no boot/recovery partitions are recognised by adb. How can fix my phone so that it boots and is usable again?

How to change android system language if morelocale2 does not work
I recently bought a chinese smartphone (SM-G3858) and there are only 3 languages available. English, Chinese and Korean. I tried to add another language (e.g. german) with the apps morelocale2, any locale, raygional, localeswitch, language picker widget... as already suggested in: Is it posible to change the locale of my device? but the system language remains in the language I initially set up the phone with (English). Only the apps itself (e.g. the manually installed googleplay- so not system apps) are changed to german. The settings menu and the whole framework is still in English. No custom rom exists for that phone so thats out of the question. I tried via adb the command: pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION But that didnt work. I have root and run on 4.2.2 JB. Also tried to contact the dev of morelocale 2 but no answer. Also asked on xda, no answer. So I´m stuck. Im not interested in changing the keyboard language, cuz that works fine. I want to change the system language. I guess there is some kind of language lock on that phone. Now how can I override that lock? What do I need to change in order to have the whole system in the new locale language? And by the way. That phone works worldwide, so I guess that means that there is no region lock? I could not find a thread with the exact same specifications mentioned. If one exists I would appreciate a link. Thank you

Photos app - can't I copy some photos to a new album?
I have a Nexus 5. I am in the Photos app, looking at the camera role. I want to move/copy some photos to a new album, so I enter bulk-selection mode. When I select certain photos, the 'Copy to album' link disappears. A lot of the photos are OK it seems. Why does this copy icon disappear for some photos?

Can xposed framework impact system performance and battery?
I've installed Xposed framework and Sense 5 Toolbox module on my HTC One X and doubt that if it is draining my battery and causing the system to slow. I've checked with Watchdog and Setting-Apps-Running but seems like there is no background service running. What I thought was there must be service monitoring the user actions but it wasn't. I would be very appreciate if somebody answer the question from title and explain how xposed actually work on Android. PS: I'm a developer and I don't mind technical terms.
