7034 | Can I stream video from PC to an android device over USB? | I'd like to be able to stream video to my android phone (Samsung Galaxy S rooted 2.2) from a PC running Windows XP (I'm at work!). There's no wireless network here, VLC and similar marketplace apps seem to only offer this service over wifi/3G; can I over USB? |
7037 | Play music from PC on Android | If I have shared a folder on my computer that has all my music in it, is it possible, when connected to the same Wifi network with my phone (Nexus One, Gingerbread), to play this music on my phone? In case I need to use an application that mounts the shared folder on my phone, it would be extra awesome if it would mount automatically when connecting to that network. |
37731 | Data connection problem with my galaxy s3 | Hi I have a peculiar data connection problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3. Cellular connections work fine at first however when the mobile loses signal and then reconnects after sometime, the data connection doesn't start again automatically (even though mobile data is enabled in settings) The only way I can turn data back on is by toggling airplane mode. This doesnot happen everytime the mobile loses signal, perhaps one in three times. Has anyone experienced this and are there any fixes? |
37730 | Setting username and password in proxy to access internet in android 2.3.6 | I have Android 2.3.6. I am able to connect to wireless connection. To access internet in this network, I need to provide a proxy (IP address with port) with username and password. In the advanced options, I am able to find `proxy_ip_add` and `proxy_port`, but not username and password. Because of this, I am not able to access internet. How can I set the username and password in the proxy to access internet? |
37735 | Will Wi-Fi Direct allow me to connect to an ad-hoc network? | I have been trying to connect my HTC One X to an ad-hoc wireless network, so I could browse Internet on my phone. I found Android doesn't support ad-hoc networking and I noticed on some pages that Wi-Fi Direct is better than ad-hoc anyway. How can I connect my computer with Windows XP to my mobile using Wi-Fi Direct? When I open the Wi-Fi direct settings, it shows nothing although I search for network. What is the process? Is there any other way I can connect to an ad-hoc network? |
20032 | Are there guidelines on how much free RAM a phone should have - specifically Samsung Galaxy S? | I have a Samsung Galaxy S (AT&T Captivate) that is rooted. I have various ways to tweak the amount of free RAM the OS leaves on the phone. The default is 48 MB, but I was wondering if I could actually go lower without impacting phone performance. Are there guidelines posted anywhere, or that can be deduced based on knowledge of the Android platform? Or should I trust that the default settings are appropriate? I understand that when it comes to free RAM, more isn't necessarily better, but I understand that there is still a threshold that I don't want to dip below. I'm running a 2.3.6 Gingerbread based ROM. For what it's worth, I'm running the Zeam launcher. |
36828 | 0 ram free on ICS | I'm new to the ICS os, coming from Gingerbread from another phone. The phone's quite nice and fast when I first used it, but just this morning it started exhibiting weird actions. Camera360 doesn't open up automatically when I click it, the Camera closes for no reason, Pocket restarts when an article has an image, and TTPod resets the song to the previous song on my widget in the middle of a new song I'm playing. I checked out the ram, and and was surprised to see 500+ mb used, 0 mb available. I looked at the list of programs and I see the usual culprits like Facebook, but the ram they're using doesn't add up to 500+ mb. Yeah, I know that the whole ram indicated isn't usable by the apps, but I don't think I've done anything to warrant the 0 mb. I close my apps. There are times when there's free 4 to 5 mb, but I think that too shouldn't be the case. I tried installing Advance Task Killer, it listed less than 10 apps, killed it, still the ram is what it is above. I did a reboot, and now it reads 300+ mb usage, 200 something free. What can I do? How do I ensure an app's closed on ICS? I installed GoLaucher because it has a handy task killer and I can see the ram freed in an instant, but I would like to know if there's a better way to handle the RAM. |

81716 | Want to know free ram available on new Galaxy S Duos 2 | I bought Galaxy S Duos2(GT-S7582) from an online store. When I first started my device it was having Free RAM around 170MB,although total(free & including already in use) is 717MB as advertised. I thought prior buying, it'ld have at least 400MB or more free usable RAM. Want to know if it is normal or particularly my device have some problem & need to go service center or approach Store for replacement. Please advice tech gigs (prefrerably S Duos or S Duos 2 owners) |
65208 | How come my free ram keeps getting less and less? | I have a Samsung gs3 gt 19300 running on cyanogen mod 10.2 stable version, so far it has been smooth other than the ram problem (which I also encounter when using stock ROM) Whenever I restart, I often have around 300 + MB of free ram (after recent apps are all cleared) however, a few days later, I find that my free ram drops to less than 100 MB (with all recent apps cleared as well) Well I checked the list of running services on the background and their sizes, but there were the almost the same compared to when the first day after restart, but if the running services are the same, how come the free ram drops that much? What is the problem? Is it memory leak by apps? What's the best way to handle it? |
30709 | Slide to unlock appears even when pattern lock is activated. How can I get straight to pattern lock mode after screen is turned on? | I thought the whole idea of pattern lock is to replace the 'slide to unlock' thing with something safe. Well I don't know if this is a bug or not but I have to 'slide to unlock' first before I can use my set pattern to unlock the phone (the epitome of redundancy). How do I get straight to pattern unlock after turning on the screen?. By the way I own an Xperia Neo V running Sony's skin, Timescape UI |
30708 | Is a 16gb class 4 micro sd card enough for hd gaming on Xperia Neo V GB? | I want to expand my storage to 16gb primarily for HD gaming (which the Neo V does so well). I have been offered a great deal for a SanDisk 16GB card Class 4 and wanted to clarify if it is enough for HD gaming, classwise. |
15488 | How can I make the phone automatically disable mobile connection when calling? | I recently moved from 2G network to 3G. On 2G when I call somebody - the phone automatically suspends the mobile Internet (since it cannot send data and voice at the same time) and activates back when the call ends. Now on 3G I just cannot call when the mobile Internet is active (no matter whether it downloads something or not) - the call is reset immediately. At the same time I can receive calls, i.e. if somebody calls me - the phone rings and I can talk. If I disable the mobile Internet and use WiFi (or do not use any connection) - it works fine. Changing the network type (auto, 3G, etc...) doesn't help. Android 2.3.3. Go Launcher + Go Contacts Ex. Two questions: 1. Is this an issue with the phone? 2. Is there something I can tune inside the phone to make it auto-switch the mobile Internet like it was on 2G (maybe 3rd party application or patch/fix)? |

30700 | Disable loudspeaker usage for audio playback? | I get my voicemail messages by e-mail (using K-9 mail), however, when I play the attached wavefile, the loudspeaker is used for the playback, so everyone around me can listen to the message, that's not what I want. How can I make sure, that the "phonespeaker" (the one used during calls) is used? I assume that K-9 mail uses a default android app for playback, so this should be about Android (Jelly Bean in my case), not about K-9 mail. Thanks :-) |
30703 | Galaxy S3 is unable to transfer files over USB: "USB device not recognized" | I have Galaxy S3 with baseband version I9300XXLFB and I'm having problems when it is connected to the PC. I cannot transfer or retrieve any files or data over USB. When I plug it in to my PC, it tells me `USB device not recognized` and the S3 does not appear anywhere for me to access it. I've tried different cables and PCs and they all seemed to exhibit the same issue. How can I get this working? |
15487 | What is the difference between swiftkey and swiftkey x? | Using the Amazon Appstore I have "Swiftkey" and "Swiftkey X". When I install one there is an update for the other. It's getting confusing. What is the difference and which one should I install? |
30704 | Why is Android System always keeping my phone awake? | I woke this morning and discovered that my phone's battery was at 70% capacity, even though it had been fully charged when I went to sleep. I went into the battery settings, and found that Android System is primarily responsible, having kept my phone awake the entire time. I searched a bit, and this does not appear to be normal behaviour. Reception and wifi are fine, and power saving is on. I'm hoping that there is an explanation and solution to this.   |
30706 | Slideshow Feature not available in Gallery after ICS Update | Slideshow feature is missing in Gallery for Picasa Web Album after ICS 4.0.4 Update in my Samsung Tab GT-P7310. I was able to run slideshow of Picasa Web Album in Gallery earlier with HC 3.2. This is the same issue even in SIII with stock ICS 4.0.4 I have synced all the Google Account including Picasa Web Albums. I am able to view all the picasa web album pictures in Gallery but not able to slideshow the pictures. Picasa button is in place of slideshow button. However Slideshow is working for Downloads, Camera, Screen Capture Pictures but not for Picasa Web Almums. Please suggest how to fix or to make it work. Thanks. |
7788 | How to disable Screen timeout for a particular program only | Is it possible to disable Screen timeout **only when a particular program is running**? If so, how do I do that? My Nexus One has a "Screen timeout" in "Display settings" that lets me choose anywhere between 15 seconds and 30 minutes, but this is across the board. I would like it to disable screen timeout only when one of the programs (that I currently develop) is running. Is this possible? If this isn't possible, is it possible to disable it for **only when a program is waiting for user input** (via a dialog box)? I wouldn't mind so much about the screen timeout itself, but once the screen times out, the device gets locked as well. :( |

7783 | SMS messages never delivered if target phone is off-network | I have a Samsung GT-I5500 (Europa) running Android 2.1. Sending an SMS message to an off-phone will result in a notification saying 'message not sent' It is never delivered even after the target phone is turned back on. Message should be stored on network until it expires or is delivered. I have eliminated network causes by trying the SIM in a non Android phone, which works as it should do. I also tried a different network SIM in the phone, same problem. I suspect the SMS 'message validity' field but cannot find a way to access it. Anyone experienced this? Are there any solutions? |
14687 | Is there an app for Android that will continuously and automatically scan for QR codes? | I want to put my Android device in a fixed position, and have the device's camera continuously scan for and respond to QR codes. For example,I have a few QR codes. I want to be able to put the first QR code in front of the device's camera, and have the device perform the action attached to the QR code (e.g. open a web page). Later on, I'll put a second QR code in front of the device, and it will respond to that QR code. There should be no manual intervention as far as scanning for new QR codes, nor for performing the action in the QR code. Does such an app exist? |

47819 | How can phone companies detect tethering (incl. Wifi hotspot) | Mobile network operators (also: telephone companies, telcos, providers) sometimes offer low cost data packages that are usable only on the phone. Or so, they say. _How can they distinguish between a user browsing the web with a browser on his Android phone and a user using a browser on a laptop tethered to an Android phone?_ In early 2012 I was in Paris and I was using an Orange mobile data package with a Nokia E51 (Symbian S60). Indeed, I could only access the Internet using the phone's browser, not from my laptop tethered to the phone. Now, I a have an Android 2.3 phone, and I am thinking about subscribing to a similar data package in Spain (operator Más Móvil). |

47815 | Android phone dialer home location | I remember from my HTC HD2 running Cyanogenmod 10.1 a "home location" indicator. It shows the area name of the caller's landline if somebody is calling. The default phone dialer app on my Newman N2 phone running Android 4.1.1 displays a home location in Chinese, instead of my native language (which is Dutch). My settings and stuff are Dutch (so is the rest of the dialer). The setting can be enabled/disabled here: Settings -> Call Settings -> "Display Home Location". (I think it's not available on every Android ROM) I want that home location indicator to be Dutch. I tried to decompile /system/app/Phone.apk, TelephonyProvider.apk and NetworkLocation.apk, so I could change the Chinese language to Dutch. Then I searched through all of the xml files, but with no result finding the Chinese letters. To decompile the apks, I used the following tutorial: http://venomvendor.blogspot.in/2013/01/how-to-view-source-code-of-android- apk.html Does anybody know where that home location data is available so I can change it? |
40459 | How to pull only newer files with “adb pull”? (Android SDK utility) | With the command "adb pull /sdcard/" I can copy all the contents of the internal memory of my Android phone into my current local directory (and "adb pull /mnt/extSdCard/" does the same with the external SD card). But that command always copies everything, even files I already have stored locally. Is there any way to copy only new and modified files? (files with a newer date) |

40454 | Phone connected to wireless but does not respond to pings | I have here two phones that both exhibit the same symptoms. One is a samsung GT-S5570 running the stock ROM, the other is a Galaxy S2 running an AOSP-based custom ROM. The problem I have is that while they are connected to the wifi and are able to browse web sites, etc, they periodically stop accepting incoming connections and/or responding to pings. In order to get them to start responding again I have to disconnect and reconnect the wireless connection. Yet they are still able to make outbound connections. Any ideas what may be causing this (somewhat bizarre) behaviour or how I can stop it? |

72853 | Play Store updating over Mobile Data when it is not supposed to | Today I got a bit of a nasty surprise with my mobile data and I am not sure how to correct it. In my settings for the Play Store I have (and had for ages) download only on Wifi. This month something has changed as my phone has gone over its data allowance and looking at the list of apps and usage the top bandwidth user is the Play Store on Mobile Data with 540Mb. I do not understand why the Play Store is updating on Mobile data even though it is not supposed to? Under the Wifi Usage tab the Play store is also the largest user of bandwidth, which I do expect as that is what is supposed to happen. Any ideas why Play Store is running over Mobile Data? |

Installation was successful and after launching the game and click on Sign-in to Google+, it said Google Play Service is required. I checked the settings->app and it was already installed. I tried to remove and reinstall but still doesn't work. I can't also sign-in to Google account in setting->accounts. Please give me some advice. Thanks. |
72855 | Can the RECEIVE_SMS permission be used to intercept SMS messages? | I've noticed quite a few apps requesting the `RECEIVE_SMS` permission. Two things are clear to me here: * `RECEIVE_SMS` enables an app to "snap" incoming SMS * `READ_SMS` just applies to SMS already stored As some of the apps just were asking for `RECEIVE_SMS`, but not for `READ_SMS`, I got curios: this seems to imply `RECEIVE_SMS` is not only targeted at the receiving part, but the app can also do what it wants with the received message – e.g. read it, then throw it away silently (so the user doesn't even notice there was an SMS – which might be the way TAN trojans act to snap identifiers for online banking transactions). But would it also be possible for such an app to "intercept" the message, i.e. receive it, read it (and process its content in any way, e.g. forwarding it by other means such as via IP), and then pass it on as if nothing had happened? In other words: Can it spy on the user this way? |

I know how to switch between accounts when sending mail, but I can't find a setting for the e-mail address of each account. Currently, when I send an e-mail, only my username appears in the "From" field (which makes it pretty hard to reply to my e-mails). The version of the Email app is 4.1. |
3002 | Where in the file system are applications installed? | I have installed a few Android applications both with the `adb install MyApplication.apk` command and via a webserver (like an alternative to Android Market). But where in the Android file system on my phone is the `MyApplication.apk` file placed? Are applications installed with `adb install` not placed in the same directory as applications downloaded from the Market? I found some applications on `/system/app` but I can't recognize them as some downloaded from Android Market or the one I have installed with `adb install`. Where on the system is applications that I have installed located? My phone is not rooted, and I am running Nexus One with Android 2.2.1. |

5712 | Android-based remote software to log in to OSX desktop? | I have an Android phone that I'd like to use to control an iMac running Snow Leopard. Like everything else they do, it seems Apple has their own take on how a VNC server should work, so their "remote desktop" does not seem to play nice with e.g. AndroidVNC. I've tried some other stuff like gPad and gMote, both of which have dedicated server-side software. They work fine, but I can't run them at _boot_ time, only at login -- so if I'm not logged in to start with, I have to pull out the mouse and keyboard to switch users / log in, which defeats the purpose. If I can "daemonize" the server software for one of those packages, great, but I'd be surprised since they have a tray icon / UI to control them. I've looked into launchd a little bit but I'm not sure I can take an arbitrary user-space / GUI-having binary and run it "headless", as a system account. I don't strictly need the display-back -- this is more for a home theater kind of setup -- but I wouldn't _mind_. I guess my questions are either a) can I run something on my phone that will use the built-in remoting service (from boot time!) or b) can I make one of the existing server applications (gPad, gMote, whatever) run at boot time? ETA: Free is better, obviously, but feel free to mention for-pay stuff, I guess. And like I said, this is mostly for home-theater stuff, so wifi/LAN- only solutions are not a problem. |
60301 | How can I emulate ctrl-Z (undo) in Android 4.1.2 on a Galaxy Note 3? | Based on this question and this question and this issue, it sounds like Android basically doesn't have undo/redo functionality. (I guess? Correct me if I've misunderstood or if the situation has changed.) My goal is to use a Galaxy Note 3 with an external keyboard to work on long- form writing projects. I'd like to have undo/redo functionality. Is there some way to "bolt it on?" Like maybe is there a text editor that has undo/redo as a feature, or some app that lets you add it, or a trick you can do an automation utility or something? (It doesn't actually have to be `ctrl-Z`. Any reasonably convenient keypress would be fine.) |

43484 | Use nvflash to install recovery compatible with CM10.1 | I have a Dell Streak 7 that had some sort of weird "read only" glitch from the factory. I recently was able to successfully get CM10.1 on it using the files and instructions (nvflash bat file) found here: http://forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=2130081 However, when trying to flash gapps I discovered I cannot enter recovery mode in any way. I've tried volume up + power, and the orange battery light flashes 4 or 5 times then nothing. Using ROM Manager Premium and the android power menu to "Reboot to recovery" just boots straight back into CM10.1. I've also tried reinstalling CWM via ROM Manager and experimented a couple times with nvflash without luck. Depending on the commands I've tried it just says "NVFlash Started" or "[Resume Mode]" and just sits there forever. I cannot use fastboot because I can't get the ADB drivers working on my windows 8 machine (I've tried Dell and Google drivers, I have disabled signing, it just doesn't recognize the device correctly). So what I'd like is a link to an appropriate recovery image (I don't care if it's CWM or TWRP or whatever) and the appropriate command to flash it using nvflash. |
45491 | How to make Gmail in Android ask for user name and password as in laptop? | In my Samsung Galaxy Grand whenever I select the Gmail icon, it automatically takes me into the inbox, it doesn't ask me to give credentials like we do in laptop/desktop. So the problem is when somebody else wants to use my mobile, they are able to see my all inbox mails etc etc as soon as they choose the Gmail icon. So I want it set so that when I access the Gmail icon in Android, it should ask me to give username and password everytime . |
58168 | Why am I constantly running out of space on my Galaxy S2? | I have a Galaxy S2 running Android 4.1.2. It has a 12GB internal HD, and a 16GB SD card. I keep getting errors from various programs telling me I am running out of space. BeyondPod won't download new episodes, Evernote keeps putting up a notification of a lack of space (even though it seems to be storing everything), and sometimes apps won't update. I have tried to ensure I have no superfluous apps, and I haven't really changed the apps I use since I first ever started using the device. I keep any large files, like music collections or videos, on my SD card. When I connect my device by USB to my Linux computer and check the properties of my 12GB HD, it says 9.9 GB is used. But if I browse the files, every folder seems to have barely kilobytes of information. Why is my 12GB HD filling up, and how do I clear it out so I don't get these errors? Update: My phone is rooted, so if that is something that can help me in this situaton, then root access is available to me. |
16592 | Will installing cyanogenmod7 on my Samsung Vibrant require me to wipe my phone first? | I'm interested in putting CyanogenMod on my Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S). The FAQ on Cyanogenmod says: > Q: Do I have to wipe my data before I install CyanogenMod? > > A: Short answer: Maybe. Long answer: Maybe. I understand there's a possibility if something goes wrong that I might have to wipe my phone. However, in the Vibrant instructions right after booting into ClockworkMod Recovery it says to "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition". That seems to me to indicate that a factory reset is required, which I would think would wipe out everything on my phone. Is it just that the Vibrant's instruction require a reset or am I not understanding something? Thanks! |
80701 | Set no wallpaper, but single color background | I was trying to find the setting to disable the wallpaper on my Android phone. I've found some suggestion which suggest to make a fake black png or something like that, but it's going around the problem instead of solving it. Technically, it's still a wallpaper, and I don't want to have any... How to set **not** to use wallpaper on Android? There must be some way, even on Windows it's possible...

16595 | Motorola Droid 3 many random reboots | I am having the feared random reboots in my recently acquired Droid 3. It is rebooting more than 10 times a day randomly, both when idle and when doing anything in the phone. The only pattern I've been to able to catch is that around 30 seconds before a reboot, I lose phone signal (the signal strength meter is empty and showing a cross). WiFi keeps working until the reboot. I am located in Spain and using the phone in GSM/UMTS mode, with CDMA disabled. Some times when I lose the signal prior to a reboot, I get a pop-up asking if I want to put the phone in "global" mode for it to search for CDMA signal. I am using rooted Steel Droid 3 with OTA 5.6.890, but it happened with Verizon's stock ROM as well. I have googled extensively for the last couple of days and did everything I have found about possible solutions: * Factory reset and disabling Google restoring features on initial config (to prevent restoring WiFi hotspot data, alleged to cause reboots) * Manually wiping all WiFi hotspot info * Disable WiFi * Running with no apps installed * Formatting sd card * Wiping user data and cache from Recovery * Checking if the battery is loose, wedge a piece of paper to lock it in place None of this have prevented or even alleviated the random reboots. I'm fearing my phone might be a total lemon, but unfortunately as I am in Spain I can't return it and get a replacement. Anyway I have been reading that people have returned their Droids four or five times and still get random reboots in every new or refurbished Droid they get. Other than that the phone works perfectly well, and I really love it. But having reboots when you are in the middle of something is going to get more and more annoying and I fear I will throw it out of the window sooner or later. I really need to solve this. I run `adb logcat` in hopes of finding what is causing it, but it didn't see anything revelatory. Here are the tails of my last 3 logs before a crash: 12-06 22:39:43.764 512 3986 W Smack/Packet: notify conn break (IOEx), close connection12-06 22:39:43.764 512 3986 D Smack : [XMPPConn] close connection, notifyClosed=false 12-06 22:39:43.921 512 608 I GTalkService: [GTalkConnection.18] connectionClosed: connId=28343, error=CONNECTION FAILED 12-06 22:39:43.921 317 323 D ConnectivityService: reportNetworkCondition(1,0) 12-06 22:39:43.929 317 370 D ConnectivityService: Inet connectivity change,net=1, condition=0,mActiveDefaultNetwork=1 12-06 22:39:43.929 317 370 D ConnectivityService: starting a change hold12-06 22:39:43.936 512 608 I GTalkService: [GTalkConnection.18] (WORKER THREAD) update account status 12-06 22:39:43.999 512 608 I GTalkService: [GTalkConnection.18] (WORKER THREAD) update account status -

16598 | Samsung Galaxy S2 hangs/freezes sometime | I am using Samsung Galaxy S2 for last 4 days. After two days of usage, I am experiencing phone hanging frequently. It just freezes while operating. The screen light won't go off and screen stays freezed. Only way out is press & hold power off button and restart S2. I was using a launcher called, Go Launcher EX. Thinking this launcher is making the problem, I uninstalled everything related to this. But it didn't fix the problem. I am running the following applications other than the defaul samsung installed ones. 1. Advanced task killer 2. Amazon Kindle 3. Angry birds 4. Dropbox 5. Facebook 6. Firefox 7. Gmail 8. Picture Dial 9. Springpad I am not sure which application causes the problem. I am thinking of doing a factory reset. Before I do that, just wanted to see if someone else faced the problem. If the crash/freeze happens next time, is there a place that I can look for diagnostic information? Like logs, dumps etc. Edit I got it freezing again. I was charging the phone and got a call. That froze the phone. Any help would be appreciated |
80708 | Fastest way to transfer small files to PC | I am looking for the fastest solution to transfer many small files really fast to my PC from my Android powered phone. For example I would like to transfer 100x5KB data in a second. Is there a way if I use SSD and I have min. 50MB/s internet with 10-40ms ping (I know ping is very important). Also, no cables can be used. So it must be wireless. I already thought of * Network file sharing but I think it is not that fast (via WiFi) * Bluetooth (very very slow) * Pipe/Socket (don't really know how fast it is) I will possibly need to transfer XML files and there will be about max. 5 meters between the PC and the mobile device. Is there a fast way that can be handled with Java? Thank you! |

12686 | How exchange messages between 2 android devices through wifi and bluetooth without internet? | I am currently working on the creation of an application for mobile devices with Android which should be capable of sending and receiving messages through local means like wifi and bluetooth. After making a research about it I found out that Android doesn't have a native wifi ad hoc functionality and that the only way to achieve that is through rooting your device and patching the wpa_suplicant and some other similiar methods which are not generic for every device. Synopsis of what I am trying to achieve: An application for Android that scans for devices nearby and tries to connect to them automatically. If the other device also got this application isntalled then it automatically accepts any connection request it receives and when the connection is established it sends back a message which ensures that it has this app installed so that both can start exchanging messages automatically and the users don't have to allow/deny any of the sending/receiving in real time. My questions are: 1. Is there any way of sending messages through wifi between 2 android devices without the use of internet? 2. Since Ad Hoc is not supported, is there any alternative? 3. In case the answer to 2 is no , then is it possible to make one of the devices to be an access point so the other can connect to it and vice versa. 4. As for bluetooth, is it possible to skip or automate the allow/deny pop up of an incoming connection and the pairing procedure? I'll be glad if you could give me an answer to those and/or any suggestions. |
46050 | Audio playing only on right side on my Galaxy S3 | I'm using Cyanogenmod cm-10.1.0-RC1 on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (at&t US version) With either a headset or bluetooth, I'm only getting audio from the right side. It doesn't matter which output device I use - all are only playing on the right side. Is this a known issue with CM RC1 or is something else causing this problem? The getprop("ro.bootloader") checks are all failing for the nightly builds, so updating after RC1 has been problematic. However, if RC1 is the culprit, I'll take extreme measures to update to a different CM version. Thanks for any advice. |

53169 | Android data usage shows significant usage even without SIM card | I just purchased a Nexus 4 to replace an old Android phone. After learning my lesson last time, I've decided to start the phone without a SIM card and sync all my apps etcetera over Wi-Fi so it doesn't chew through massive amounts of cellular data. At this point, the phone is brand new, has never had a SIM card inserted, and I go into `Settings` > `Data Usage`. My phone is reporting ~751MB of data usage. I assumed there would be 0 MB data usage, given that I haven't even inserted a SIM. I don't believe the data usage count is syncing from my old phone, as I typically only use a few MB a month, which viewing the data usage on my old handset confirms. _Is there an explanation for why a Nexus 4 that has never had a SIM card in it would report substantial data usage, or is this a bug?_ |

42683 | Will a nandroid backup save me from a bad upgrade? | I have a Rezound on 4.03, and verizon has pushed an update to it today. I have delayed the install because there's little information about it. What little I have found claim it make the phone unstable. I made a nandroid backup, with the default options. That means: [Boot], [System], [data], and [cache] were selected. [recovery], [sd-ext], and [.android_secure] were not selected. My question is, if this OTA update does make my phone worse, will simply restoring the backup pretty much guarantee a seemless "undo"? Or is it possible the update could change something that I can't revert? |
19819 | Can I locate my android phone? | I brought a new Samsung Galaxy Y inbuilt with Android 2.3.5 some month ago and sold it recently. But after selling I noticed that in that Android I left my email ID (email ID that is used to log in to android for the first time). I don't worry about the my email ID as I have changed its password but **Can I locate my android device with that email?** or by any other way? on any Google Maps like service? |
42687 | Galaxy note 10.1 reset s-note picture import preferences | When I tried to import a picture earlier I accidentally set the S-note picture import preference to Gallery. Before that I was given the choice to import from Astro etc. . I tried to delete all s-note data/cache in the preferences, but I was unable to reset the picture import to the non default value. (It didn't even delete the Documents on the device, they were back after a reboot). The reset to default values button in the Task manager is greyed out. |
21088 | SGS2 running ICS 4.0.3 can't connect to home wifi | I have a Samsung Galaxy S II 9100. I had no problem connecting to wifi while it was running 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 official firmware. 2 days ago I upgraded to official 4.0.3 and now it connects to all other wifi networks except my home wireless. I did a clean flash, wiped data, cache, dalvik cache etc. I'm using a Linksys WRT300N wireless-N router and all other devices are able to connect (my laptop, other Android phones). Also, before I installed ICS I tried MIUI 2.3.16 which is based on Android 4.0.3 and had the same problem. Can anybody help me? |
63651 | How to disable auto hide navigation bar in cyanogenmod 11? | The navigation bar is automatically hidden in Cyanogenmod 11. Maybe it's a good idea but my tablet case does not let me swipe from bottom to show it. Is there a way to prevent a navigation bar from hiding so that it is always displayed? |
63650 | How do I change incorrect album art on the default Music Player of the Samsung Galaxy S III? | One of my albums has a completely unrelated album art associated with it. I cannot find the album details and hope to get the album art that way because it's an independent album. The album art I'm trying to use is actually a scan of the album itself. I have tried: * Renaming the album and album folder, deleting the previous folder from my phone, and ending my music player's process. * Deleting the album's folder from the phone, and moving the folder somewhere else. * Changed the album art to different images that are slightly different images with Windows Media Player, then uploading AlbumArt.jpg, Folder.jpg, etc. into the album's directory. I've probably tried a few more, but I can't remember at the moment. It's very annoying having to look at this low-quality, unrelated album art whenever I start playing my music. |
63657 | Why is it that different participants in group chat seeing different number of participants? | I am a participant of a group chat of 50 people. I saw the number of participants of my group is 50, but different people in the group has different number. E.g; group admin sees 49, others see 48 or 47. Why is this happening and can we resolve ? |
19813 | How to clear Android browser's localStorage? | I've got an HTC Evo Design 4G (Android 2.3.4), and I can't figure out how to clear localStorage in the browser. Clearing the cache, history, form data and everything else doesn't do it. Resetting the browser to default settings doesn't do it. The website (served from the local network) doesn't show up in Website settings either. The only thing that does work is deleting ALL data from the phone by resetting it to factory defaults. Is there an easier option, and how come this isn't done as part of clearing cache which should "clear locally cached content and databases"? |
64151 | Google maps on Galaxy S4 doesn't search nearby | Using the Maps up on a Galaxy S4, when I search for a store name (like "starbucks"), it should show me the nearest results, but instead it shows me results in other cities (like the Starbucks in Seattle, or Home Depot in Atlanta). The Maps app shows my correct current location, so the GPS etc is working and the app knows where I'm at.. what else could be going wrong? |
69306 | Mount /system/app/ using adb (non rooted phone) | Is it possible to mount /system/app/ or to push an apk file to /system/app/ using adb on a non rooted phone? I am trying to use adb push to push an apk file to the aforementioned directory but it keeps telling me `Read-only file system`. Is there any other routes to take to try to push the apk file to my phone without rooting it? |
64153 | Note 2 update problems | Hi I got my note 2 from Kuwait. I am currently working in India. The last update I did on my note 2 was android 4.1.2 . Now when I check for OTA updates for my note 2, it shows that latest updates have already been installed. How can I update my phone? Thanks in advance. |
59554 | Problem pairing again Nexus 5 with Alpine car stereo | I had my Alpine radio paired and working with my nexus 5. Then someone unpaired the device on my phone when they wanted to pair it to a different bluetooth device. Apparently the Alpine phone passphrase is '0000' (if it is needed - I can't recall it being asked for when I initially paired it and it seems that that is a "default" PIN that is attempted automatically?) The new device did need a passphrase which was '1234' I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to re-pair my car stereo with the phone. The message I get is that pairing was unsuccessful due to an incorrect PIN/passphrase. I can't find anywhere in setting on how to change the passphrase - because it never asks me for one. **I am assuming somehow this is a bug and the last successful PIN is being used.** Previously my stereo would prompt if it should allow the pairing and i would select Yes - this time it doesn't work. I have seen what looks like similar questions/issues on other forums. It seems to be a bug or at best a horrible hidden configuration somewhere. To reiterate: * device A was previously paired fine. * device A was unpaired * new pairing to device B with a PIN * no longer able to pair with device A - with an error message of bad PIN/passhphrase but I never supplied one for this device. Any pointers or URLs or suggestions would be most appreciated. (aside from resetting to factory) EDIT: To answer the questions in a comment: 1. I have to look up the model number 2. I cannot attempt to pair using PIN 0000 - the phone does not give me a choice to do so. I wish it would - in that case I could probably do it. 3. Same as above 4. I have turned off the radio - not sure how to disable BT on it - I will try that 5. Yes - many, many times - as well as shutting down phone 6. I am pretty sure visibility is on. It was working fine until then and I will try it with another phone later today - it is visible. The phone discovers it. Must be on 7. The message is displayed on the phone. |
64158 | Differance in installing a rom from a different country | What are the differences in ROMs that are from different countries? Like for the S4 GT-i9500 4.3, There are some many country versions. Is it just localization differences? or something at system level? |
53987 | How can I play an Adobe Flash video on my Google TV? | I cannot open a Jib Jab video on my Google TV that someone sent me. It says that I have to have the latest version on Adobe Flash. I thought it came with the latest Google Chrome browser, that's what I have, but it won't play. Can someone tell me how to fix this? I have Sony Google TV NSZ-GS7. |
69309 | How can I delete stickers on viber? | How can I delete downloaded stickers on viber? I downloaded there a few, and the last one I wanted to download was not possible because there was not enough room in my storage space(still isn't). Now, it says every single time when I open my phone, "there is not enough room in the storage space available to complete this action. Please clear some space and try again." And I am not even downloading nothing, it keeps doing it itself and it is SOOOOOOOOOOOO annoying!!!!! Whatever I do, the window pops up and again, I have to close it. And so over and over again.... What can I do???? Or what can YOU do???? There are obviously a lot of bugs in the android/viber system.. |
9379 | Droid X - is Blur home running when you use Launcher Pro? | Based on the process list in ATK, it appears that Blur home (including the widgets) are loaded and running - and can't be turned off in any way - when you are using Launcher Pro as your home replacement. * Is this an accurate observation? * Is there a way to stop any of the Blur **widget** processes from starting (rooted but standard ROM) completely? Just to clarify, "replace with Blur-less ROM" is not a satisfactory answer, since Cyanogen doesn't run on DroidX due to locked bootloader. |
