75419 | LG G2 (d800) Stuck in Bootloop | After rooting my new G2 and tinkering with some XPosed modules I am now stuck in horrible bootloop limbo. My phone starts, shows the LG splash screen, plays the AT&T startup sound, and starts the boot animation. The boot animation slows down and freezes after a few seconds, and after a few minutes the sound plays again and the animation starts over ad infinitum. I didn't bother installing a custom recovery like an idiot, factory reset doesn't seem to do anything, I can't adb in when I'm in download mode, and I can't find a stock KDZ for a d800. Please help me! |
65365 | No option for "mobile network" on Dell Venue 8 | My friend has bought new "Dell Venue 8 3830" tablet with Android JellyBean 4.3. Now we want to connect a 3g dongle (D-Link) via a micro-usb cable which came with it. When i connect the dongle to the device the dongle shows solid green light (which probably means connected), but when i go up in settings of the tablet i dont see an option to turn on and use the device. All the blog i read tells to enable the "Mobile Network" option in settings; But on this device theres no such option. Wireless Settings - Wifi - B/T - Hotspot - Data Usage - More... - Airplane Mode - VPN - Tethering |

56438 | Android detected USB core and storage locked, unable to use phone's apps | Recently My phone suddenly could not do anything relate to the storage, I can not view album, it says there is nothing there, I can not find picture, can not take picture and post to Facebook or something, when i clicked into PhoTo in Facebook app , i got a pop up: > Your computer detected a USB cord and locked your phone for storage.

2607 | Is it possible to export my Google Listen Status? | I am playing with the idea of switching from a rooted stock Froyo ROM on my Droid to a Cyanogen ROM, and one of the things that is holding me back is the Google Listen status. I want to be able to preserve the contents of my queue, and, if possible, the last stopped point on any episodes in the queue. It would also be great if I didn't have to re-download all of the episodes in my queue (I prefer to download them in advance, when I am on wifi, rather than stream them). If I have to re-download, that isn't a big deal, but it would be nice if I could skip this. Is this possible? This seems to be the only thing that does not live in the cloud (at least that affects me). |
20929 | Could not see "persist.service.adb.enable" value from default.prop of Android device? | I read some guide to get the "persist.service.adb.enable" value, and it said that it belongs to "default.prop" file on device. Its content should be: # # ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES # ro.secure=1 ro.debuggable=0 persist.service.adb.enable=0 But when i connect device to PC (Linux), try to pull out this file from device (both emulator and Samsung Galaxy Nexus), the content of default.prop file is only: # # ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES # ro.secure=1 ro.debuggable=0 persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage So i could not see "persist.service.adb.enable". Could anyone tell me why, and how can i got it? |
20924 | Gmail has gone completely crazy | Gmail went completely crazy, I don't know what to do. When I open it I get the inbox, but the app is almost unresponsive: whatever I do, be it opening the menu, scrolling or opening a message, it starts to do it (the menu starts opening, the message gets highlighted) but after a fraction of a second it flashes and gets back to the inbox itself as if nothing happened. I still receive new mail notifications in the top bar, but clicking them prompts the inbox anyway, with the same problems. Even after managing to evade the application using the home button, sometimes it pops up again, going crazy even if I don't touch it (flashing repeatedly the inbox, doing a "left to right" slide-like effect), and the whole system can be unresponsive for a while. Other applications, including google ones (calendar, docs, contacts), appear to have no problems. Phone is a Nexus S, was running android 2.3.4, I upgraded to 2.3.6 and upgraded the gmail app too, but nothing changed. Doing a "clear data" prompts the "mails will appear shortly" screen, and there the menu works, but as soon as I receive the emails, it goes crazy again. I'm clueless, what could I do? |
20927 | What does the voice privacy setting do? | In perusing the settings on my EVO today, I noticed that there is an option under call settings named "Voice Privacy". The description beneath the checkbox merely states "Enable enhanced privacy mode":  The screenshot is from Deck's ICS pre-beta, but I'm fairly positive I saw this in CM7 as well because it seems very familiar. I've also seen this settings on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus running both ICS (stock and CM9) and Jelly Bean. Both phones I've seen this on were CDMA devices - an HTC EVO on Sprint, and a Verizon Galaxy Nexus. What little information I've been able to dig up seems to suggest that it may be unique to CDMA, but I cannot say that for certain. What does this setting do? Some theories I've found on forums have included reducing the earpiece volume (so others can't overhear your conversation, I suppose?) and adding extra encryption to the CDMA connection, but I haven't found anything definitive. |

33418 | How to migrate 4.1 primary user's app data to new 4.2 secondary user? | My wife has been playing games (Angry Birds Star Wars if that makes a difference) on my Nexus 7 which I have just updated from 4.1 to 4.2. Android 4.2 lets you have multiple users on a single device, so I would like to create a new user account on this device which has all of her game saves. Without root, is it possible to migrate specific applications data to a new user account on the same device? |
33419 | app to actually edit an image? | I looked around and even photoshop only change image tint and add kisses stamps... Today I was in need of something that would simple pick a UPS label image and resize the canvas to be a full Letter paper in 300dpi. ..because my printing app insists in always stretching the image to the whole size. resulting in a UPS label larger than the box. I found nothing. Is this so? I don't want to start to write code and then learn I'm the only one not using some cool app. |
33415 | Why can't I turn off vibrate while keeping audio on when a e-mail comes in? | After my Galaxy Nexus upgraded itself to Jelly Bean last night, my phone refuses to turn vibrate off! It's set to Vibrate Never when email arrives, but it vibrates anyway. I've restarted the phone, taken the battery out, etc, but it still happens. |
33417 | Kies dies when trying to update Galaxy Note firmware | I downloaded and installed Kies in my Windows 7 laptop. (Toshiba Satellite.) I plug the phone in the USB, it is recognized and its storage shows in Explorer. Then I run Kies. It says there is a firmware upgrade available. I click to update. A window shows with a progress bar at the bottom, saying something like "downloading update components." After the download goes to 100%, Kies just silently dies on the PC, no error messages, its windows just vanish. And nothing happens on the phone. My phone is not rooted, it still has the carrier-provided software, regularly updated via Play. It was bought here in Brazil. Kies is trhe latest version, I had it check for upgrades. I also disabled the PC antivirus to no avail. |

37241 | How to connect using WPA2-Enterprise on Android Devices? | I am doing some product development for BYOD environment, so I require a wide variety of devices. This one is causing me some issues with connectivity to the private network where I have to test. The LG device with Android version 2.3.3 and upgraded firmware to whatever latest Sprint is supporting connects to the Wireless Access Point, but I get a 401 Unauthorized when access from a server on this private network. Meanwhile, the same configuration works with my iPad-1, an Android running Ice Cream, iPhones, Win Mobile, etc. using the same settings. I am suspect that this device is too old to support WPA2-Enterprise but I cannot find any documentation, forum, etc. that supports any related issues. I do not have access to the server to see why it is rejecting with the 401. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot/fix or officially lay claim of non- support? |
37242 | Can I have different volumes settings for notifications and ringtones with Nexus 4/Android 4.2? | My old Gingerbread phone would let me have a low volume for notifications while having a high volume for ringtones (very useful at night). My new Nexus 4 seems to have these volume settings tied together. Is there any way to separate them? I'm running Android 4.2.1 stock. Have looked at a Nexus 7 running 4.1.1 and it has separate volume streams so this looks like a phone specific bug/feature. **Update** Tried various apps but couldn't fine one which separated the Ring and notification audio streams. In the end I downloaded the Cyanogenmod notification sounds, selected the ones I liked and processed them to -10db and -15db versions. Then copied them to the 'Notifications' folder on the phone. (The phone looks at the title tag in the mp3 file rather than the file name so needed to change that as well.) I now have the ringtone as normal but a quieter version of the notification sound that doesn't wake me at night or sound ridiculously loud in meetings. |
37245 | How can I use a CyanogenMod theme with a stock rooted Galaxy S III? | I'd like to make this my phone theme https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ramazor.theme.freedea&feature=more_from_developer But it seems to require me changing my phone over to Cyanomod or something of the like. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that, but I do already have root access via SuperSU and was wondering if there might be another way to go about using this theme. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999. |
24006 | Vibrate-before-ring | Is there a way to have an android phone vibrate first before it starts ringing? Note that I'm looking for a clean solution, i.e. I don't want to modify the ringtone to include a few seconds of silence at the beginning. |
24005 | Where are my Apps gone? Not shown under all apps, in my phone | I have a nuumber of Android apps installed. When I use them from desktop shortcuts of phone, they work normally but in "All apps" (having up arrow symbol) section, it only shows 4 apps: Latitude, Local, Maps and Navigation. While all other apps are not there but still installed. So I am wondering that why and how that happened? I saw some other similar titled questions but they are different. I didn't hide any thing intentionally but not sure if I set some thing. Please note that I am not a layman, I am a developer so when I am doing some thing then I understand what I am doing, so I think it is some thing that did automatically, may be after and because of updates of apps. I also have app2sd card so not sure if it's related. So please some one tell if you know that how can I have my apps again under that apps section and can use it normally. My Android version is, Froyo and I'm using an HTC Wildfire. |
24004 | wifi no longer work on galaxy tab plus | I have a GT-P6210 that was working perfectly fine and suddenly I noticed that my Wi-Fi would no longer connect. It just reports "Error" after trying to connect to Wi-Fi,I tried to factory reset my device but that didn't fix my Wi- Fi issues. |
24008 | HTC Desire sticky power button | I have an HTC Desire that is 2 and a bit years old and in the hands of my wife and baby, now has a power button that barely works.

67186 | Repeating letters being truncated | About a month ago, I noticed a strange issue anywhere a repeating letter a appears on my Android phone: repeating letters are either truncated or replaced with a single letter that has a macron (bar/ line) above it. I have noticed this issue in nearly every application on the phone. Note that my phone should be configured for only US English and not any other languages. How can I get rid of this? The phone is a Verizon Samsung Galaxy SIII running stock Android 4.3 Here are some examples:  NOAA to NOĀ, Firefox  Klaas to Klās, Google Play Music  Paas and Iaas to Pās and Iās, Google+ |

68209 | What is the purpose of an app disallowing backups (android:allowBackup="false")? | I'm asking specifically because Helium (the application formerly known as Carbon) uses root permissions to do data backups and with root I can manually (through the shell or Root Explorer) back up data for apps that disallow it. So why would some app data not backup with Helium (which has root privileges granted)? I read the information about the permission elsewhere on SE as well as at developer.android.com that says user couldn't copy off data to dig through on their PC, but it's actually trivial if you have root access in the first place. If you're really into digging through data then bypassing the permission is trivial. If the permission would stop you, you probably wouldn't be the type to be digging through app data. |
68202 | How can I get Android devices to see a classless static route? | This seems to be a problem that a few people are having. I have DHCP set up on a Windows 2008 server. Amongst all the options I have set, is option 121 (Classless Static Routes). I have two routes set up going over two VPNs, one to one datacentre and one to another, both going through different gateways. We have a wifi network here with no restrictions to the network once you're connected to it. The Android devices connecting to the wifi can connect to machines going over one of the routes, but not the other. The Windows PC I'm currently typing this on also gets its IP address from the same DHCP pool and I have no issues with connection to machines in both datacentres. Just in case it's useful to know, the DC that I can't seem to connect to is Amazon Web Services. My device is a Samsung S4 with 4.4.2 |
68204 | Mass confusion about present and future: Hangouts, SMS, MMS, and Google Voice | I've been trying to make sense of recent news and theories about the future of Hangouts, SMS/MMS integration, and merging with Google Voice. My main concern right now is that I want to continue having **free** SMS messages sent through my Google Voice number. I don't have any texting plan from my phone company -- my "real" number is secret to the world. The facts: * I have a Google Voice number that is public, for calling and free texting * I have a secret "actual" Verizon phone number, SMS or MMS costs $0.25 per message * Google Voice doesn't support MMS * I do not want to activate **SMS over Hangouts** because I fear it will use my Verizon number which does not have free texting Am I correct in my concerns? Should I hold off activating SMS in Hangouts because I will end up with a lot of fees from my carrier? Should I pay for an unlimited texting plan with Verizon because doing all of these things won't be free in the future anyway? * * * ## Google Hangouts + Voice Integration **Update Sept 10, 2014:** Google has now merged Google Voice into Hangouts. |
68206 | Why is the maximum value of the light sensor from my phone stuck at 85745.0lx? | My lightsensor of my Samsung Galaxy S3 doesn't return good values. I tested it in different places, p.E. outside in the sun or indoor with and without light. The value outside was a bit confusing because the result was the proper value of 85745.0lx. This value is first of all 4 times higher than in comparison with my tablet. At a second Samsung S3 (with Stock-OS) it was about 18'000 lux. Second point: it was a fix value, it didn't change between ~200lux all the time. After the tests I tried to find out, why that happend. The function `maxvalue = light.getMaxumumRange();` shows me, that the maximum value of the light sensor is 121240.0 lx. Could it be, that this value is, because I have an custom rom on my phone (Team UB)? Or does anyone know an other reason for this difference? Thanks for your answers. |
4366 | Stop audio player from restarting music after a phone call | Whenever I receive a phone while listening music (with earplugs), I disconnect the earplugs and take the phone through the normal speakers. The music is paused during the phone call, no problem there, but when I hang up, the music starts again, even without the earplugs. Which is kind of annoying at work, in an open space. Is there a way to force the music to stay paused after the phone call? I'm using the Music Mod app on an Froyo-powered HTC Legend, but I believe it has happened to me with every music player I've tried. |

3102 | What purpose does the Notification Flash/Email setting serve? | The Notification Flash/Email setting (Settings > Sound & display > Notification flash > Email) appears to have no influence on the stock mail app or gmail app. So does it serve any purpose? In the stock mail app, even if Email notifications (Settings > Notification settings > Email notifications) are on, the flash doesn’t occur, regardless of the system wide Notification Flash/Email setting. In the gmail app, the Email notifications (Settings > Email notifications) setting controls whether the flash occurs or not, regardless of the system wide Notification Flash/Email setting. |

81131 | HTC One M7 Keeps Restarting Itself | I have recently bought a new HTC One M7. Since the moment I turned it on it's performing random reboots. At the begining it was every few minutes but now its every time I unlock the screen. I've performed 3 factory resets - didn't help (I think that even made it worse) I've entered "safe mode" - still rebooting I've tried to enter recovery mode but the phone got stuck on the loading screen (exclamation point icon) Anyone might have an idea what's going on? Is the phone defective? Might it be a hardware issue? As I said, the phone is new, so no custom ROMs or strange apps installed Thanks |
69245 | T0lte model number | This could be obvious I have a Note 2 and the Model number in the phone is the CyanogenMod T0lte.

25831 | How does Android determine which apps are "social networking" apps for data usage purposes? | My phone carrier (Bell Canada) says that in addition to my maximum data limit, I have "unlimited social network" usage. I'm wondering which apps count as social networking apps? As an Android developer, I'm also interested in how I might designate one of my apps as a social networking app. (Let me know if this would be better off on programmers.stackexchange or stackoverflow...) |
25830 | Force widgetlocker theme's default image? | I'm trying to get WidgetLocker to work with an "Xperia ICS" theme. So far the theme looks good but I have a bit of issue about the right slider.  As you can see above, the right Camera slider looks just fine. However, instead of launching the Camera app, I want it to instead run a Tasker task that captures images instantly. I have the task already setup and its working fine. But when I select it to be the action for the right slider, it obviously uses the icon I set to it by default.  So I went and extracted the right slider image from the theme zip file in an attempt to restore the slider back to how it looked like on the first image. However, when I selected the right slider image, it doesn't fit nicely and thus makes it look smaller than the left slider.  And so my question is, how do I make it look like how it was on the first image while opening a Tasker task instead of launching the Camera app? |
69248 | Is it okay to use USB 3.0 cable with USB 2.0 wall adapter? | I bought an LG Optimus One phone a long time ago. The phone came with a USB 2.0 cable + wall adapter. 3 months ago, I bought a Galaxy Note 3. The phone came with a USB 3.0 cable + wall adapter. The wall adapter stopped working, however the 3.0 cable still works. (When I connect my Note 3 to the computer using the 3.0 cable, it works. But when I try charging my Note 3 using a wall outlet, it doesn't work). My question is: Since the wall adapter which came with my Note 3 stopped working but the 3.0 cable still works, is it okay if I charge my Note 3 with the USB 3.0 cable while the 3.0 cable is plugged into the wall adapter which my LG Optimus One came with? Note: I didn't try it yet because I was afraid it might ruin the 3.0 cable. |

23360 | Disappearing Icons on Galaxy S2 | On my Samsung Galaxy S2, sometimes all of the icons will disappear from the home screens except for the 4 built in icons (phone, messaging, web, applications). This sometimes happens at startup, and sometimes happens after the phone has been running for a while. It can only be fixed by rebooting the phone, although that is not a guaranteed fix. More recently I've encountered an additional problem: Sometimes when the icons disappear, the Applications button stops bringing up my applications menu. Any suggestions on how to fix this? |
23367 | Music players that can import M3U playlists? | OK, so it seems that (unbelievably) Winamp for Android is so extremely stupidly designed that it can't import M3U playlists. So, I want a player that can import M3U playlists. I'm running CyanogenMod 7. I have copied some MP3s I want in a playlist to a directory on the sdcard, and used the "My Playlist Maker" app to make an M3U file that references the audio files inside that directory. Does anyone have some ideas for good music or media players that can import this M3U playlist? An additional requirement is that the player be able to set itself as the default player to be used with Bluetooth - Winamp, for example, has the "Control headset" (use Winamp to control the headset) checkbox setting. |
6653 | VPN doesn't work on HTC Desire over WiFi | My phone is HTC desire, Android 2.2. It seems to connect to the VPN server while using WiFi, but the broswer and other applications can't be access the Internet any more. The connection is disconnected after minutes automatically. However, the same VPN settings work well while using 3G. **Update:** The router allows VPN connections -- My PC and a Milestone 2 can use the same VPN over the WiFi network. **Update2:** It doesn't work over all WiFi connection! My phone could access the Internet when connecting the same VPN over the WiFi network of my office. It looks like the VPN only doesn't work over the WiFi network of my home. **Update3 - solution** After updating my phone to htc official desire 2.3.3 dev ROM, it works. So it looks like there is a bug fixed by Android or HTC rom in 2.3.3. Does anyone know how to resolve or diagnose this issue? |

6386 | "Update unsuccessful" on all apps running on SD card | I know this problem has been reported before, but man, I am really, really getting tired of it. I have not been able to update any app running from the SD card on my HTC Evo since I got it nearly 6 months ago. I just went through all of my apps and documented which ones are on SD storage and phone storage. I was then able to go through my list of updates and select just those that are on phone storage and then all succeeded (11 apps). I then went through some of the ones on SD storage and they all failed (tried 7, but I probably have 10-15 more). I have tried many of the "fixes" I've seen online like clearing the cache on the Market app. There is not enough internal space for all my apps. I refuse to accept some of the "fixes" as true fixes like deleting the app and reinstalling it or moving the app to the phone storage, updating, and then moving back. Those are not acceptable fixes in my book. This is a major black eye on the Android OS to me. When people ask me if Android is as good as iOS, this problem is front and center in my mind when I tell them that its good, but I'd rather have an iPhone (but, I'd rather have this than my old Blackberry). I get my phone through work, so rooting is not an option. Has anybody else had any success resolving this issue? I'm using the SD card that came with the phone but has anybody had luck with a different brand? |
6381 | Create flash-friendly file system on microSD card (not FAT32) | Yesterday I noticed that I destroyed my just a couple of months old 32GB large microSD card. I wasn't even able to create a new file system on it or change the partition table, so it became completely unusable. To prevent this from happening again, I want to use a different, _more flash- friendly filesystem_ on my new microSD card. I am using an _unrooted_ Nexus One with Android 2.3.3 on it. I know that it is quite possible to use different file systems with custom ROMs on rooted phones, but I want to use the official, unrooted version of Android. So my question is: Is it possible to use other file systems than FAT on a microSD card with unrooted Android? Which file system would you use then to save the flash memory from corrupting? I am also interested in things you do to save your microSD card life. |

6389 | How do I turn off spoken notifications? | Can't figure out how to change the settings on my Samsung Galaxy S phone to actually have a ringtone when receiving a call. When receiving a call a voice says "call from 123-456-7890" or "call from Fred". I know how to set the ringtone which has been set..but I don't know how to take the voice off. So how do I turn off these spoken notifications and get back the ringtone I've set? |
43975 | Whatsapp, Keeping the number on the new phone but without the old sim card | Whatsapp, Keeping the number on the new phone but without the old sim card. Ok the situation is I love my old number and to be honest don't want to ask everybody to change my number again and again. But I do not have the old sim card, and that bums me out. If there is any way to achieve this? |
43970 | How is WhatsApp able to receive messages when not in use? | I'm curious about how WhatsApp is able to receive messages when not in use. I mean, I understand that WhatsApp works using the Internet connection rather than the cellphone network. Imagine that I haven't touched my phone in hours. At that moment, a friend sends me a message on WhatsApp. I get it immediately. Does that mean that WhatsApp is keeping the Internet connection connected at all times? Does that mean that WhatsApp acts as a server, opening ports on the phone? Or maybe a long-running HTTP request? |
43978 | Connect to a FTP server using IPv6? | Currently my device is running on Android 4.1.1 (JB). I have a FTP server with IPv6 address and connecting to it on my computer is just fine. However when I try to connect to this server on my Android device (using AndFTP and Total Commander), the result is always "Network unreachable" AFAIK, IPv6 support has been added to Android 4.0 or ICS. But I still don't know what's wrong with my device. Can anybody tell me how can I fix it, or is there any way to track the problem? |
24800 | MyTouch 4g MMS over Home Wi-Fi | Why can't I receive or send MMS on my My Touch 4g through my home Wi-Fi? I have bad coverage at home so I have to use my Wi-Fi connection. I'm sure my settings are right - I have it set to T-Mobile Data. Does it have to be set at MMS? It works fine when I'm away from home on the 4g network. |
4955 | How to change the account for Android Market? | I use two Google accounts and add them to . Let's say acc1 and acc2. When I try to buy an app in the Market, it chooses acc1's Checkout account, and I don't see an option to change to acc2. Can I use acc2 to pay this? And I still want acc1 as the main account for other purposes. (i.e. Talk, Mail, contacts) Possibly related question: How Do I Know Which Google Account is Used for the Market? |

48904 | How to change Android's primary Google account | During the "in-app purchase" I am unable to switch the Google account I would like to use for "in-app purchase". Currently, in order to change the primary Google account on Android operating system, we have the following ways: 1. Perform factory reset on our devices. 2. Remove other Google accounts, leave only one Google account. If we perform factory reset, we will lose all data that we have not backed up or unable to do backup. And, we have to re-install the applications that we need to use. If we choose to remove other Google accounts from our systems and leave only one Google account, if there are applications installed from Google Play Store by using the Google account that we want to remove from our systems, then we will not be able to remove the account from the system unless we remove those applications. However, sometimes we may forgot which account we used to install an application from Google Play Store. My question is that is there any other way to switch between the accounts? |
45168 | How to change Gmail account on Google Play but keep applications | I am using my Gmail account on Google Play. I bought several applications by using my Gmail account.

75754 | Optimally using an SD card | I have a Galaxy Note 3. I have 64GB internal storage, and a 64GB SD card (SanDisk Extreme Plus). How do I get the best use out of my SD card? I switched Google Play Music's download cache to the SD card, and the data was moved right away. However, I used Application Manager to move Kindle, Adobe Reader, and Netflix to the SD card, but their data is not showing up yet on the external SD card. What does it mean to move an app to the SD card? Does their data not also move? When would it be moved? Does putting Netflix on the SD card mean that it'll buffer using it? Would that cause performance issues? What are the trade-offs when considering whether to put an app on the SD card or internal storage? |
75757 | How to install Amazon FR app alongside Amazon (US) | This might be as simple as: It cannot be done. I am an American living in Europe. I have an android phone with multiple accounts (one for each country where I reside). I would like to be able to install the Amazon FR app alongside the regular Amazon app (US). Attempting to do give me the following error: duplicate provider authority Can I get around this? Update: Each app as well as each URL (amazon.com vs amazon.fr) provides a different set of vendors, items, previous orders, order tracking, invoices, etc. Both apps are in the Google Play App store and you can search for the Amazon FR app but you can ONLY install it if your logged in account while accessing Google Play is registered in France. |

5131 | Weight tracking app | I'm looking for an app to help me track my weight. Ideally, I would tell it my weight each day (and perhaps my age and height), and after a while I could use it so plot a graph of my progress but also get extra informative statistics. I've seen a lot of health related apps on the market, but a lot of them are payed and come with tons of extra features. I don't need diet guidance, exercise reminders, etc. I just need something to track my weight, preferably free. Thanks |
36380 | Recover Google account password without unlinking/deleting the main account from android device | I forgot the password for my Google account and I want to recover it. This Google account happens to be the main Google account linked to my Android device. When I try to use the Recovery options: * A password reset link can only be sent if you haven't signed in for 4 days. * Your security question can only be answered if you haven't signed in for 5 days. * A third option where "I no longer have access to those above", it implies a very long password recovery process and **MAY** get the password again. If I don't unlink this Google account from Android device, the device will continue to sign in to Google services. So, recovery options can't be used. I don't want to reset my phone to unlink/delete the main Google account, wait 4-5 days and then get the password. This means I can't use my phone for this amount of time and may lose data. How to get it without unlinking or deleting the Google account of my Google Nexus with Android 4.2.1 (Jelly Bean)? |
36388 | Change permission on file in /sys folder | I am trying to turn off the backlight on the soft keys (home, menu, back and search). My phone is a HTC Evo 3D running Ice Cream Sandwich. Before, I had Gingerbread installed and I could use "Screen Filter" app to turn the lights off. After the upgrade, "Screen Filter" no longer works. On one forum it says that if you edit the file `max_brightness` in folder `/sys/class/leds/button-backlight` from `255` to `0` and then switch the screen off and on again then the key lights stay off. However, the file is read-only. I want to make the file writable. Do I need to root my phone to do this? |

33354 | Google apps losing connection to the servers when on mobile data | I'm struggling with a weird connection problem I have with Google Maps 6.14.1 (#6140011) on the Galaxy Nexus (running Android 4.1.2/CM10). The problem comes with the following symptoms when on mobile data: * The app stops loading additional tiles from the network that haven't previously been cached (while displaying cached ones without any problems). * The app no longer synchronizes starred places. * Whenever trying to calculate transit directions, it gets stuck on the "Getting transit directions" progress dialog (there is no error message, the dialog just stays there forever). * When trying to find a location ( _any_ search query), it gets stuck on the "Searching for: X" progress dialog (there is no error message, the dialog just stays there forever). * When switching to navigation, it gets stuck on the "Getting driving directions" progress dialog. Things I've tried: * Rebooting: has no effect whatsoever. * Switching to wi-fi. Then everything works. This might make it sound like my network provider (a T-Mobile US MVNO) is blocking Google Maps traffic, but read on! * Tethering my tablet (CM9) to the phone: Google Maps works fine on the tablet, leading me to the conclusion that it's not the network blocking certain kind of data. However, when putting the SIM card directly into the same tablet, it again doesn't work. * Stopping the process, then clearing all data: this fixes this issue "for a while" (a few minutes to a few hours). I haven't yet figured out what causes the problem state to come back. It could be a fixed amount of time, it could be the first switch from mobile data to wi-fi and back, I don't know. _UPDATE_ : I've had it happen 5mins after a 'clear data' with wi-fi all the time disabled, so the next connection to wi-fi does not seem to be the trigger. * Connect ddms: Getting transit directions does not cause any warnings or errors to be logged. * Reinstalling Google Maps: same as 'clear data', it helps for a few minutes. Potentially related problems: * Gmail doesn't load any images. Other than that Gmail works perfectly, including background syncing e-mails on mobile data. This problem also occurs when on wi-fi. * Goggles always says "Network error" and "Authentication failed" (again, it works fine while on wi-fi). * Google Now reports "Requested content '…' cannot be accessed. Access is not allowed for this user agent." * In GMaps -> Settings -> About -> Network, I see the following error "Error - Bad HTTP response code: 403 for 62,71,72 class java.io.IOException". I can't get any additional information for this however. It might be weeks old, as I see this even while everything works perfectly fine. * Some things in the Facebook app work (notifications are shown), but some just lead to a "cannot find secure connection" error message (navigating to an individual post). * Other apps using the WebView control in some cases do not show content properly. (NewsRob for example can synchronize just fine, but when trying to switch to the web view of an article that was not previously cached, it shows an error message similar to the one of Google Now above.) Further notes: * The mobile network indicator is blue/green during all of this (indicating a working connection to the Google servers) and everything else seems to work perfectly. * This has happened on various builds, including the CM10 final, installed from a factory reset. |
33359 | About Extracting & Replacing files in a Custom ROM | Custom ROM's come in as a .zip file.

36655 | Why do some earphones work but some have garbled audio on my phone? | I recently bought a rebranded Innos D9 from China. When I tried using the earphones that came with the phone and the Sony earphones I have, the audio is fine. Really awesome too. However, when I use a generic Samsung earphones, I hear garbled audio, like the sound is coming from a cave. When I play a video, the voices / speech of people are distorted. Also, I don't think equalizers would fix this because I know how they work. I also tested Apple's Earpods, to the same effect. I would like to know why this happens. Maybe I could download an app to correct the sound, or at least know what earphones to buy in the future. Note: The phone has a built-in Yamaha music amplifier that boosts AAC or something, if that information would help. Another update: Found a relevant thread on XDA and the fix I did was to push the answer button on the Samsung earphones, and the audio was fixed. Do note that for the audio to stay that way, the button should be pressed always. This is not a good fix. |
36654 | Error downloading apps in Google Play Store with Samsung Galaxy S3: "Package file invalid" | Whenever I try to download an app in the Google Play Store on my Samsung Galaxy S3, it keeps saying "package file invalid" and won't let me download anything.

36657 | A2DP Bluetooth audio randomly shows "(no media)" | Sometimes when I connect my phone to my headset, the Bluetooth device will be listed as: " **Connected ( no media )** "  When this happens, it uses the "Phone audio" profile. The "Media audio" profile (A2DP) will also have a checkmark, as if it were connected, but all sound is coming from the phone's speaker (see photo below). If I attempt to uncheck it, it will immediately recheck itself. When it _is_ working properly, it will wait two seconds and disconnect.  Rebooting the headset, or disconnecting it manually doesn't solve the issue. |
41604 | Generate a browser bookmark from file manager | We are developing a web site that will all be local to an android tablet. The idea is we create the web app, copy the web app to MicroSD cards and distribute the SD cards. Right now, when you open the file manager and browse to the location and open `index.html` , the file manager does a terrible job and displaying any of the HTML. In order to view the page in a browser, you have to type: `file:///Removable/MicroSD/MyApp/index.html` That isn't very intuitive. Is it possible to create a file that gets executed from the file manager that will create a bookmark and place it on the home screen that points to the location I stated above? Thanks. |
41605 | How to set active APN on ICS | `Android 4`: Under `Mobile Network Settings` I have `Access Point Names` menu, which lists 4 APNs, first one's got a radio button selected next to it.

Now I cannot install AndroidLost or another such application remotely and I really need to wipe the phone clear because there is sensitive data on it. I know I should have thought about this before changing my password. Since Google doesn't allow you to keep an old password again, I am in a huge fix. Does anyone have a solution for this? |
41603 | Which version of Heimdall to use with S2 or S3? | I think this is a pretty straight forward question. I have a Galaxy S2 (i727) and a Galaxy S3 (i747) and I'd like to use Heimdall with both of them, but can't seem to find which version of Heimdall supports them. Working with the 1.3.1, for example, when I boot my S2 into download mode, zadig.exe does not list the Samsung driver everyone mentions. Heimdall Frontend says it detects a device when I click Utilties->Detect, but I can't seem to interact with anything on the Flash tab. I'm trying to flash recoveries. |

8248 | What does the 'Mark as default' option do in my 'Edit' option of a contact | What does the **'Mark as default'** option do you can choose in the `menu` when you **select a contact** which is present in the **phone memory** ? I am seeing this on a Samsung Galaxy S phone ( _if this should make a difference_ ). **\-- background information (for those interested) --** I am still trying to copy phone numbers one at a time from SIM to the phone memory ( see my other question ). At the moment the easiest way to accomplish this is to send the contact information using the `Send via` \+ Gmail to my own Gmail account, press `Download` in the received email and choose `Contacts` ). Having done this for the few numbers I wanted to transfer ( _it's main reason being that I now can attach a picture and a ring tone to the important phone numbers, while still retaining these numbers on my SIM card should my phone suddenly die_ ), I now noticed the ' **Mark as default** ' option in the menu of a phone number saved to the phone memory. Before selecting this option, I wanted to ask what the option will actually accomplish. |
