21493 | How to use "street view" in Google maps on Xperia Mini ST15i? | I'm unable to switch to the street view when using the Google maps on my android phone. I updated the Google maps to the latest version and also the street view but unable still though. I turned off the `satellite view` and tried but the street view was still disable. I tried to finding informative videos regarding this and some forums but they didn't helped me. I would really appreciated if any one help me about this.  |
58316 | Damage risk of using flashlight | I'm using a flashlight app on my Xperia L phone. I accidentally turned on the flashlight, but noticed it only 4 hours later. I turned it off then. Is this keeping the flashlight on for a long period of time harmful for my phone or flashlight? |
7599 | Technical questions about the Nook Color rooting process | I've been considering getting a Nook Color with the intention of rooting it for use as an inexpensive general purpose Android tablet. Before I decide either way or dive into one I went and read a bunch of the development forums and guides, but I still have some questions/concerns about some of the specifics. For starters, I have a few questions about the rooting process: * Should I be concerned about the root process failing? I don't want to get a NC if I can't get root on it. Everything seems to indicate this isn't an issue (at least at this moment) * If something goes awry, is there any way to recover/restore to stock software? Most phones seem to have desktop upgrade utilities, but I haven't found one for the NC yet. At the least, can I get to HBoot/fastboot? * Does the rooting process just require a microSD card to complete, or does the custom ROM actually run from the card? I've seen some unclear info on this, but it appears that the former is generally the case but dual-booting (or booting directly from microSD) is an option as well. Is that correct? |
44834 | Computer folder keeps closing when I try to open the camera folder to download all my photos | When I connect my samsung galaxy s2 to the computer and click through to the folder which contains all the photos from my phone's camera the phone keeps disconnecting and everything closes. How do I download the photos to my computer? |
44830 | Chinese songs don't show up in Apollo library | I have some Chinese songs on my LG Optimus G, which I copied to my music folder along with the rest of the songs. All songs show up in Apollo (Cyanogenmod's standard player), but not the Chinese ones. I have tried changing the filenames to western alphabet. I have put them in a folder with a name in western alphabet. I have refreshed the media library. I have rebooted. I have deleted the data from Apollo. Yet to no avail. The only thing I've not changed is the MP3 Tag which contains Chinese characters, but that really shouldn't be a problem. I can open each individual song with Apollo from within a file manager, and they play and their MP3 Tag information shows. The songs played perfectly before I made the move to Cyanogenmod. How can I make them show up in the library? |
44832 | Connection problems 3G/4G (Mobile data) | Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3, Mobile data enabled, APN configured for T-mobile Applications: MightyText, BrowserTexting Internet connection is working, i can use browsers, gtalk, IMO, etc. The problem is some applications cant connect to their respective servers. Both apps work when on WiFi, but not when using mobile data connection. The question is how to debug this problem? Is there a way to see what the problem is, see the request, responses?

65165 | Pipo M8 pro launchers | I have a new Pipo M8 pro max tablet. I accidentally deleted the launchers when I tried to get rid of a few apps. I now realise that launchers are a necessary part of the android o/s. I have tried the Pipo website but it will not load. I know very little about adding upgrades and firmware but I might need to go down that road. Could anyone offer me any help or advice so that I can use my excellent tablet to its full potential? |
21491 | is it possible to mask esn of a smartphone? | On a computer, it's possible to trick a server that you are using a different computer by masking MAC address. Is there something like that for android? Rooted phones have full access. So I'd think it should be possible. I don't mean wi-fi mac address, I mean 4g/3g alternative to mac, I assume it's ESN. If that is possible, than there is a security problem. Someone can pretend that they are using your phone. Of course, there is still Google account password but still, is this possible? |
69805 | Copy contacts from Google to SIM card | I have recently got my SIM card replaced, and lost all contacts as a result. I was wondering if there is a way to copy them from Google Contacts to the SIM card. It would type them one by one but it seems like a waste of time. Surprisingly, though, I haven't been able to find an easy way to do it. Is there a way to dump contacts from the google backup to the SIM card? |

I cannot go to page_2 because I will not see its URL in the address bar (it redirects to page_x) I want to bookmark link_1. On a non-mobile browser, I would right click link_1 and bookmark it. I am using the pre-installed "Internet" browser that comes with the Android. How do I bookmark link_1 on Android? |
5692 | Can't install apps through Android Market website? | When I try to install an app from the Android Market website, I get this error: > "There are no android phones associated with this account.

Did anyone else encounter this problem? Any hints on how to fix it? thank you! |
5693 | Dial 7 digits in an area requiring 10 digits | My area code(402) is going to be requiring everyone to dial 10 digits soon because we're getting an area code overlay(your next door neighbor could have a 531 area code). However, at first everyone will have a 402 area code. I would like to only dial 7 digits, and for the phone to see 7 digits and prepend 402. So I would tap buttons for 867-5309 and it would dial as if I had tapped 402-867-5309. Is there a way to make my Incredible do this? |
5695 | How to fix out-of-sync calendar? | I'm using a rooted Samsung Galaxy S (Vibrant) running stock FroYo from T-Mo. I sync my calendar on the phone with my Google Calendar. I have several different calendars on Google, shared with different groups of people, and all are set to sync with my phone. Everything has been perfect since I got the phone 4+ months ago. Two days ago, within 30 minutes of adding a calendar event where everything looked fine, when I went to add another event I noticed that most of my calendar events were missing. I usually use Jorte, and have been doing so with no problems. I checked the stock calendar app and it's displaying a different sub-set of events. Looking at both calendar apps plus Google calendar on my PC I see: 1. some events appear on the PC and in both apps (very few) 2. most events are missing on one app or the other 3. for a given calendar, some events will appear on one app but not the other (even on the same day) 4. there are events appearing on the stock app that don't appear on either the PC or in Jorte (for a calendar I have read-only access to) It seems to me that something has corrupted the phone's cache of data. Could this be possible? How would I fix it? This is a **huge** PITA -- I depend on my calendar for everything. Thanks for any help you can give! |
79482 | Samsung Galaxy S3 wi-fi connection problems | When I try to connect to wi-fi on my Samsung Galaxy S4 a message comes up, checking the quality of your internet connection and then network disabled because internet connection is slow.

5962 | Hide applications from Apps menu | I don't want to root my phone to delete some applications installed by the provider, but I would like to hide them from the menu, since I know that I won't use them often. I know that it is possible to do that with the alternative launcher, but I'm using the original one. Is there an application that can do that? If it matters, I'm using a HTC Desire. |
51974 | Android early boot console over usb | I'm trying to port newer kernel versions onto my Nexus S device. Most newer kernels panic very early on in the boot process. I would like to debug this. However, since the phone has been provided to me by my school, I cannot get a hold of a serial port (if it does exist..not sure) Is there any way I can obtain the messages via usb onto my PC? |
51973 | How to delete Skype history? | How to delete Skype history? I saw two methods declared: (1) delete Skype application data and/or (2) reinstall Skype. But both methods are compromised by an idea and saying, that Skype history is (maybe partially) stored on Skype server. If so, then History will resurrect after both actions. So, my question is: how to really delete history? Also I need some explanations about the cases where history was resurrecting. For example, this can be because parallel client was holding history... |
56988 | Picture converted to very low quality while sharing on Google + | I'm using a HTC ONE X with Android 4.2.2 and HTC Sense 5.0 I took a screenshot from my phone : the picture has the same resolution as my screen which is 720x1280. Then I share it on google plus : * go to 'Galery' app ( don't know if its the standard android one or an HTC specific app :/ ) * choose my picture * touch 'share' * chose in the list 'Google+' which open the google+ app to choose the circles I want to share with. * confirm. The picture shared is then 180x320 ! All text is unreadable so the sharing doesn't make sens anymore :/ Does anyone know why ? And how to prevent this ? I'm connected using wifi connection so there's no need to scale down the picture I can upload the full size... |
52406 | Why does bad Busybox installation in /system/xbin/ cause problems? | I've got familiar with Android not long ago. Having almost no experience, I carelessly installed Busybox, and after that the system started resetting itself after each power-off. It also didn't allow to install software from internal storage anymore saying that there was no space. Luckily, this question helped me out. Quite sceptical at first, I installed a file manager from external USB and moved busybox from `/system/xbin/` to `/system/bin/`, and surprisingly, the problem was gone. But could anyone tell why busybox executable placed in `xbin` was causing these problems? |
56984 | Is there a way to change device type on Google Play | I have an HTC One V, but I rooted it and installed CyMod 10.1. The problem I am currently facing is that the device shows up on Google Play as HTC One V which came with 4.0, whereas my phone now has 4.1. Since it shows up as One V (4.0) many of the downloads show up as non- compatible with my phone and hence I cannot install them. Is there any thing that can be done to remedy this? |
56983 | nfc tag compatibility with google nexus 5 | does anyone know if samsungs tec tile 2 (note the 2!) are compatible with the google nexus 5? in fact, does anyone have a list of compatible nfc tags?

34647 | How can I decrypt an encrypted SD card (HTC Evo 4G) on a different device? | I encrypted both my phone and SD card upon purchasing my HTC Evo 4g LTE. Recently the phone died (would get to the login screen and then reboot). After a factory reset the SD card shows up as damaged. I've tried mounting it in various ways, but neither the phone nor a computer will attempt to mount the drive - they just ask to format it. Is there any hope of recovering the contents? |
17230 | How to access a linux shell from my phone via bluetooth? | Basically I want to send shell commands from my phone to my PC (Ubuntu 11.10) via bluetooth. Why? Because I don't always have WLAN and WLAN on my phone sucks. All possible solutions are welcome. I know that most solutions will require some kind of daemon running on the linux system. This is no problem. Thanks in advance. **EDIT:** I will not root my phone. |
56980 | Google Now says it's not available in my country | On my Xiaomi M2A, Google Now complains that it's not available in my country. I know for a fact that Google Now _is_ available in the Netherlands, because it works fine on my Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. So apparently, Google Now thinks it's in some other country (possibly China, since that's where I ordered this phone). But the phone has been configured to use the Dutch settings everywhere I could find. (Silly enough, the message is actually in Dutch). So where does Google Now get the idea that it's somewhere else? And (more importantly), how do I tell it that it is, in fact, in the Netherlands? |
64698 | Can Nokia X,X+,XL run android apks? | Can Nokia's new android phones run android apks just like in other androids via package installer?

64699 | Recovering internal memory on SGS2 (CWM, not root, boot to recovery only) | I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100), which stopped booting into the normal OS. I have no idea why - one morning it turned itself off, and when I started it, it went as far as the "Samsung" screen, and just hangs. I have pictures on the "internal" SD card (flash memory), which I would like to recover. I can boot into recovery, and have installed the latest version of CWM touch, which allows me to mount both the internal and external sdcard. I can do a "browse for update" on both internal and external sdcard, and all the files I want are there. However, even when internal sdcard is mounted, I cannot access it with adb, presumably because I don't have root. Just to see what I can do without root, I used CWM allowed me to backup the system, but because the backup is written to the internal card, I cannot check whether it's worked. However, it is taking about 1.5GB of space on the internal card, so I assume it must have backed up something. Any ideas? Could I write a script that would copy the contents of the internal sd card to the external sd card, without root? If I rooted the phone, would I loose the content on the internal sd card? (I have looked into rooting, but only with heimdall so far, and I could not get it to recognise the phone on linux or OS X.) Any thoughts and suggestions will be much appreciated! Thanks! |

60534 | Wiping dalvik cache - Dalvik cache of uninstalled apps | I just came across the folder `dalvik-cache` having size of about 750MB. I searched for dalvik cache on google, and came to know that it is builded during boot up, and wiping this will make the next boot slower. So whether wiping dalvik cache is not at all useful? My doubt is that whether Dalvik cache has some files related to only the uninstalled apps? If so, how we can find that files? Or Dalvik cache components get deleted when we uninstall an app? _**EDIT** : My phone is rooted._ |
53911 | Broadcast screen over wireless | With my Sony Xperia Z1, I can use NFC to "pair" it to Sony TVs to broadcast what is being displayed on my phone on the TV screen as well. I would like to do this however I don't have a Sony TV. Is it possible to use an app or set up streaming so I can view my screen on my TV? I have a typical "dumb" tv connected to a Western Digital Live Hub which can access the videos/media stored on my phone without issues (supports DLNA) over my wireless network. |
11698 | Issues canceling downloads in Market | All of a sudden a few days ago, I went into the Market for the first time in ages to download a new app. It said the app would be downloaded, but when I went back several hours later, it had not downloaded. I looked in the Downloads section of the market, and there were about 6 updates trying to download (which I hadn't approved - I don't have automatic downloads set, just notification of new updates with manual download). I want to cancel these downloads, but it will not happen. I long-press on the app name and choose Cancel, but nothing happens. I've even rebooted the phone, but the unwanted downloads are still there, saying Starting Download - this is after 3 days. I've seen this, this, and this, but none of them are exactly the same as my issue. The last two did have answers that I'd like to try - clearing the application data and cache for the market. Unfortunately, I don't see the Market as an app in my Manage Applications section. (I'm running CyanogenMod 5 on a rooted T-Mobile MyTouch G3.) Is there any way I can access that application to clear the cache? Or any other way I can get the unwanted downloads to stop trying and go away? |
11694 | What extra features has the Android Youtube application over the HTML one? | It seems the HTML Youtube application has all the features the Android Youtube application has. I want to remove the Android Youtube application. But I want to make sure that I will not lose any feature. Do you know if the installed Android Youtube application has any extra features that the web Youtube does not have? |
11692 | Where can I find stock Android apps that are not normally in the Market? | I downloaded a custom ROM for my Samsung Captivate phone that is a variant of 2.2.1. Its version of the Camera allows me to use the power button to take pictures. I decided I want the stock camera without this feature. Is there a site from which the default camera.apk is available for 2.2.1, or for that matter, other apps? |
11693 | Can CPU intensive apps cause sudden shutdowns? | Lately my Droid Incredible has been shutting down spontaneously when using my GPS for periods over 30 or 45 minutes. After the shutdown the back of the phone is pretty hot (and that's with a case on it). I kept my other services to a bare minimum when using the GPS. Could this be a battery overdraw (or overload with it connected to a charger)? If not, could some services (GPS, CPU-intensive games/apps, etc) or a combo of services cause the CPU to overheat and shutdown (much like a laptop when it gets too hot when the CPU is overworked with no additional cooling)? |
11690 | How can I fix my cheap Android 2.2 phone? Should I root it? | I recently purchased a Samsung Intercept for Virgin Mobile. The problem is that it doesn't work very well. There's a delay when doing almost anything on it, even calling or texting. It also has poor battery life. Is there a way I can get it to work decently? Perhaps by removing apps? Would rooting it get it to work better? |
11691 | How to fix my multiple account sign-in issues? | I have multiple accounts active on my phone. I started by using my custom domain Google account, because it had my contacts. When I got on Google+, I couldn't use that account, so I had to link my normal Gmail account with my phone. And when I added my YouTube account, it threw that account on there too. Now, in intervals that range from every few days to every few minutes, i get a notification that says **"Sign In error with account (account name here)"** , then asks me to enter a capcha-like entry (enter letters of distorted words). It usually happens to the standard Google account (@gmail.com), but has happened with all three at one time or another. Anyone know why this would be happening? |
44990 | HTC One X SMS Font Size Keeps Changing | I use an HTC One X from Rogers (a Canadian telecom operator).

46156 | How to save an image displayed in the stock browser without downloading it a second time? | I am trying to save a scanned image from a printer on the local network with the stock Android browser. The browser interface looks something like this:  As soon as I click "start scan", the printer begins scanning the image. When complete, it is displayed in the little box on the right and a message pops up near the bottom instructing me to right-click the image to save it. Now, in the stock Android browser, long-pressing on the image displays a menu which provides an option for saving the image. Unfortunately, the download always fails - and I think I know why. The printer does not keep a copy of the scanned image and immediately deletes it after the browser finishes loading it. This is a problem because the Android download manager will attempt to download the image _a second time_. How can I save a copy of the image that is already displayed in the browser? Chrome and Firefox for Android both use the built-in download manager, so using them made no difference. |

64340 | Sometimes Apps on SDcard Not Available As Clickable Icons | I have an HTC Legend with Froyo 2.2. Occasionally it happens that after turning on the phone some icons on the home screen are not clickable, i.e. I only see the default icon as if I had uninstalled the app. This can happen to any app I have on my home screen, it's not related to just one. However, the Aldiko PDF reader seems to be affected more than others. By now I know of two ways how to make the apps working again: * the ol' "have you tried to turn it off and on again?" * use a USB-cable and have my PC access it as a harddisk and then revoke that access and wait for the SDcard to initialise itself In other words it seems to be a problem with the SDcard somehow. Is there a shorter way to do this in case I have no USB-cable available, via the settings or something? Is there an app that can help me here? Can I code something? |
64342 | Route standard headphone output into Android audio jack? | I'll be taking a video of myself playing a digital piano. I'd like to take the sound directly from the digital piano's secondary headphone jack rather than using my phone's built in mic. I use a Galaxy Note 2, and I think it has a TRRS port which can receive the audio, and hopefully be used by the stock camera app. How can I find the adapter to convert the standard headphone audio output into the phone's audio input? I'm not sure what to search for. |

Here's what I've got now: package com.mycompany.myapp; import android.app.*; import android.os.*; import android.view.*; import android.widget.*; import java.io.*; public class MainActivity extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); try { // RIGHT HERE. WHY DOES NOTHING HAPPEN? Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"/system/bin/sh", "/mnt/sdcard/touch.sh", }); } catch (IOException e) {/*...*/} } } But it doesn't do anything. So how would I execute this, then leave it running in the background so that the taps and swipes happen while another app is in the foreground? You get the idea. :D |

43080 | Using speech-to-text in text messages | I've got an Android P690. When I go to compose text in a text message I would like to input it via the microphone by using Google's networked speech recognition engine. However when I hold down the search hardware button and speak, and finish speaking, Android opens up a web browser and performs a web search with the spoken text instead of inserting the text in the SMS text box. And when I press the back button the text I spoke is not in the text box either. So my question is, how do I use the microphone to compose an SMS's body? |

42726 | How can I disable IPv6? | I have access to the IPv6 internet through Charter Communication's 6rd implementation. A number of CDNs fail to work correctly over IPv6, which causes a number of sites, including facebook, to have significant issues (pictures don't load, pages don't load, etc.) On my desktop, I can disable IPv6, and these issues go away. Is it possible to do that on a stock android phone / tablet? (not rooted) _Edit:_ From the comments, I've learned that the actual issue is a MTU issue. So I'd be equally interested in a method to set a lower MTU on android as well. |

54805 | How to open PDF from Notification bar and fix "Cannot open file" error? | I have searched and searched for a solution to this problem, please help. I am using a Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android 4.2.2 along with the Chrome browser. Steps to replicate: 1. Navigate to: http://www.buzzbuzzbingo.com/Holidays/Halloween_Images/ 2. Click "Download and Print" to start download of PDF file. 3. Notice notification that says "Starting downloading..." 4. Open notification bar and see that the download has completed. 5. Click the downloaded PDF file and receive "Cannot open file" error message and the notification bar closes. Long clicking the downloaded PDF does not offer options for choosing which app to open the file. I have installed Adobe Reader and using that to navigate to the downloaded file will open the file just fine. Same with Polaris Office. I would like to be able to open the PDF from the notification bar. Alternatively if I could view the PDF directly in Chrome, that would be acceptable. |
54806 | LG G2 - Debugging mode not enabled | I'm attempting to run an app on the LG G2 (Verizon) using Eclipse on a Mac. The phone, however, is not recognized by the computer. I enabled debugging but it doesn't appear when I do `adb devices`. Additionally, I never receive the debugging notification when I put the phone in debugging mode. I think it's the phone since I've ran other devices on the mac with no problems. Any suggestions on why the debugging mode is not being enabled? |
54801 | AnySoftKeyboard ignored after update | I've recently updated my _HTC One X_ to version 4.2.2 of _Android_ and version 5.0 of _HTC Sense_. Since then, my phone no longer uses _AnySoftKeyboard_. Even thought the `AnySoftKeyboard` option is set to `on` in the _Language & keyboard_ setting, the default keyboard still opens instead of the _AnySoft_ one. I've tried uninstalling _AnySoftKeyboard_ and reinstalling it, and restarting my Phone, but it still doesn't work. I've also tried following this tutorial, but I can't get the `Input Method` dialog to open(the tutorial is old, but I didn't find a newer one). What can I do? |

78200 | Titanium Backup Pro in Safe Mode | I have a S3 i9300 with a damaged motherboard that only boots in safe mode. I tried to put TB with pro key from the Play Store, and moved the main app (not the key) to /system/app using ADB. But now when TB starts, it does not recognize the PRO key and some PRO features I need are not available. I tried moving the PRO Key with System App Mover, but he says he can't because of Jelly Beans and Paid Apps restrictions. I opened a ticket with the TB support, but if anyone knows a workaround, please help. If the TB support solves the issue, I will post an answer to this one. |
62973 | attaching an extrernal keyboard to my zeepad jellybean 7.0 with USB OTG | I bought a Zeepad Jellybean 7.0 tablet that I like. I am a writer that finds the onscreen keyboard really frustrating. I attached a pointmobl keyboard from radioshack via OTG USB due to there being not bluetooth on my tablet. Originally, I used a Sanoxy that worked right away, but several keys on the keyboard did not work. I figured I would try something better. Did I fail in that endeavor? I tried an host installer and that did not work. I tried diagnostics that did not detect the USB though it was definitely plugged in. Please advice me asap. I am really frustrated. |
62975 | samsung galaxy S4 default email app show notifications disabled | In my Samsung galaxy S4 under applications manager the email app has its notifications turned off by default.

55100 | Why does the Android OS use so much battery power? | Most of the time, I have enough power for my Samsung Galaxy SIII to operate for the whole day; at the end of the day my battery charge is about 35%. However, today, the battery died prematurely. I noticed the battery usage screen, and it says that 28% of the battery is used by the Android OS.

Though I agree in the fact that this question is the same as the target. |

63373 | YouTube Acting Up? | My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G running Android Gingerbread 2.3.6. My YouTube application is version 5.3.32. Lately (for a while actually), YouTube acts strange. Nowadays, a _normal_ startup results in the app taking several seconds to start and locking up my home screen in doing so. A "messed-up" startup results in the app freezing and not even opening, and my home screen locking up. When this happens, I usually have to press (more like spam) the Home key until the phone finally responds and the app closes. Sometimes, when a "messed-up" startup occurs, I can go into my application settings, force- stop YouTube, and it works fine. Other times, I have to play around with app startups and force stopping before, eventually, it'll let me in. Then, the problems aren't limited to startup - On random occasions, the application will freeze up and crash, whether I'm refocusing on it from something else or randomly during the video. Can anyone please provide help or feedback on these issues? |
63374 | Hardware problem: extreme battery drain | I've been experiencing extreme battery drain on my Nexus 4. Basically the phone drains 10% per hour on idle. * I flashed the official Android 4.2.2 image and did a reset. * I replaced the battery with a new OEM one. **I left the phone completely untouched after flashing.** Charged it up to 100% and let it drain out. Still 10% drain per hour on idle. Now I'm certain the problem **isn't the battery** and **isn't Android OS**. It must be some faulty hardware part like some junction between two pieces. How do I troubleshoot this? Anyone has any experience/tricks/tips to share? **I'm looking for hardware-related advice.** This problem is not related to software, as I'm getting the problem on various official Android ROMs and on CyanogenMod too. |

21549 | Can't install Google Apps | I'm using an Allview Alldro P2 phone with Android 2.3.5. Fresh out of the box it worked like a charm.

Meanwhile I will be exploring this site for any clues. Thank you. |
21548 | How can I install a missing locale? | I bought Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 in Hong Kong. The System has some pre- installed languages but I need to install an additional locale (Polish).

21541 | Stock email client crashing | Phone is Motorola Milestone (EU version of Droid), android version is 2.2.1. About a month ago I switched my email server from classic Postfix+Dovecot to Kerio Mail server. I accessed my email account via IMAP and I didn't change any email settings on my phone. After the switch, all emails that were read on server (either via email client like Outlook or via webmail) were showing up as unread in stock email client on the phone. It was annoying but I didn't give it much significance. After more than a month, stock email client started crashing after checking mail from server. My theory is that mail identifiers of new server caught up with identifiers from the old server, and it's making stock email client crazy ... Deleting data from email app and recreating the account didn't help, crashing persists... |
21540 | Stop Galaxy S2 from reading homepages out loud? | My Galaxy S2 has suddenly started reading all homepages out loud, and it is really annoying. Does anyone know how to stop it? I am running the new ICS software. **Update** When the computer voice is reading out loud, it seems that I can turn down the volume of that voice, which mitigates the problem for now. Also, it seems that it is only the browser and the facebook apps for which everything is read out loud. **Update again** In Settings -> Applications -> Running I see a "Voice commands", and under that the Samsung TTS process is running. When I force close that one, a voice says "driving mode off". However, the process is relaunched immediately again. Seems the suggestion about disabling driving mode is the way to go, however I cannot find any such option anywhere in the settings menu. **Update again again** This is getting pretty weird. I managed to disable driving mode. You can do that by going to the voice command app by double tapping the "home" button. However, that did not help, it is still reading all homepages out loud. Any help please, it would be very much appreciated? |
49813 | How can I monitor and log the connections to my phone's wireless hotspot? | I'm sure the phone will be logging all connections and connection attempts when it is used to set up a wireless hotspot - my question is how can I view these logs?

21542 | new account for GMail only | I added a second account in the GMail aplication, in order to be able to send/receive mail using that account.

49814 | Targetting SDCard vs Phone Storage | I bought a new phone. It runs JellyBean 4.1.1. It has got 2.5GB Phone storage and Internal Storage of 512 MB. Thats what I find when I go to Manage Apps section of the settings. I can move apps installed in Internal Storage to the Phone Storage. Thats the option I get when I open detail section of any app in Manage Apps. My previous phone had no phone storage but just the internal storage. In it, when I open up Manage Apps section I use to get the option to "Move app to **SD card** ". However now am not able to get option to move the app to SD card but just to the Phone Storage (from Internal Storage). How can I move apps to SD Card instead of to Phone Storage from Internal storage. When I used ES file explorer I realized the phone storage is recognized as `sdcard` and my SD card is recognized as `sdcard1`. Also there are some apps that look for the supporting files in their corresponding folder inside sdcard, i.e. at `sdcard\appfolder`. Now since they currently look at `**sdcard0**\appfolder` (i.e. phone storage), I have limitations of not putting bigger files which quickly fills up the phone storage. In my previous phone I created appfolder in my sdcard and pasted those supporting files in those folders and the corresponding apps automatically detected those files. This was convenient since I have 32 GB SDcard. However now I have to create appfolders in phone storage. Also now many apps by default limits browsing files in phone storage detecting it as a `sdcard`. For example when I open any folder in dropbox and tap Upload Here it directly browse `sdcard`. Please help. |

The notification (which I have set to vibrate) is just a very short vibrate.

I am trying to display a specific route between my origin and destination, rather than letting google maps choose the route.
