13183 | How can I remove trusted CAs on Android? | From the current fallout around DigiNotar (in short, a Root Certificate Authority that has been hacked, fake HTTPS certificates issued, MITM attacks very likely), there are some parts concerning Android (see yesterday's interim report in PDF): * fraudulent certificates for *.android.com has been generated (which would include market.android.com) * there may be other such fraudulent certificates signed by this CA in the wild (currently nobody knows for sure, one way or the other) * this could happen to another CA in the future (Comodo had a similar problem a few months ago) So, how do I remove a CA I no longer trust from my Android phone? (I have root and CM6 on my specific phone, if that's relevant) |

24519 | Looking for android permission details | I am looking for a list of android permissions and what can be done once a certain permission is granted. Background: Many apps require permissions which at first sound very intimidating, like READ_PHONE_STATE. Looking at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html it states "Allows read only access to phone state." but this clarifies nearly nothing. Do I need to dive into the code, presuming that part is available? Cheers |
24518 | Using an Android phone like a SIP ATA | I would like to get a few Android phones functioning as a SIP ATA so I can make and receive calls via SIP. I realize one could use Bluetooth to pair with something like Asterisk, but I had high hopes there might be a standalone application that would transform it into an ATA. Is there something out that that will allow me to do this? Edit: Yep, searched Play Store nothing to be found unfortunately. |

656 | How to synchronize birthdates from contacts with google calendar on HTC Hero? | I'm aware of the fact that the standard contacts/calendar app does not support birthdates synchronization (Android issue 1211).

654 | How can I not use the Facebook for HTC Sense on my HTC Incredible? | I'm trying to add my Facebook account instead of using Facebook for HTC Sense. However, when I go to Accounts & sync > Add account > Facebook, nothing happens. If I tap any other account, I get prompted for login information (or, if I'm already logged in, the ability to change settings or add a second account). I really dislike the Facebook for HTC Sense, so there's got to be a way to add my Facebook account without using Facebook for HTC Sense. |
1501 | Is there a way to display Interstate Rest Areas on Google Maps Navigation? | I've had several instances where this information would have been useful when navigating w/ Moto Droid, but I haven't been able to figure out a way to get to interstate (USA) rest areas in Google Maps Navigation.

1508 | Samsung Moment telephone through AUX | I have an iPhone, and while in my car, I can connect to the radio through my AUX jack and use the phone that way. The iPhone microphone picks up just fine and I hear the person through the car speakers. While I don't **think** Apple intended for it to be used this way, it works just fine. My mom has the Samsung Moment, and when we tried that in her car, I couldn't hear her at all. Does Android disable the microphone when an aux cable is plugged into the headphone jack? If so, is there any way around it? Has anyone had success with using an Android phone in a vehicle radio like this? Thanks! Thomas |
23156 | Want to disable album art in music player | My brain is wired to text. Album art conveys no useful information and I would like to just display the artist name and song title in large letters. Is there a way to disable or drastically reduce the size of album art in _any_ music player app? I've bought most of the popular ones and tried the stock player and many OEM players. They all want to display the album art and just put in a blank square if it's missing. Even apps with skinning functionality seem to always have the album art present. |
77524 | Constant app crashes + google play error 960 | I recently got a new Nexus 5 and I have a lot of issues with the software. Basically I have 2 major issues which I guess are likely related: 1. Google play store very often gives me an error `Unknown error code during application install: "960"` 2. Many applications often crash with the error message `Unfortunately application <insert-app -here> has stopped working`. I'm under the impression these are mainly stock apps but I'm not 100% sure. Next I also see some side issues in google chrome, which I suspect have the same reason: 1. Sometimes while browsing the whole phone crashes, I haven't pinned this down to a single action, but it only happens while using chrome, not with any other app or while idling. 2. I often get an error stating "this page cannot be loaded, please reload", after 5-6 times reloading it finally works (or the phone crashes...). To me it looks like there is some error with a basic android support app (maybe services) that messes everything up but I really can't figure out what it is. I have tried already: * Factory reset several times, including using recovery mode * Adding/removing my google account * Clearing app caches of several apps like google chrome and google play services * Clearing the cache partition using recovery mode * Rebooting in safe mode |
77520 | Forwarding or syncing SMS to another Android phone | I have two Android phones and I am looking for a way to foward SMS messages to another phone and let me answer with my first number. I don't have both phones with me all the time, but still want to be notified about new messages (and if possible even calls). I need something more than a simple forwarder. Already tried apps like "SMS Forwarding" "SMS forwarder" etc. That wasn't it. |
22207 | Get root access without going through replacing things? | I'm totally new to rooting and I would like to simply have root access to my phone. I don't want to do any customization whatsoever to the insides of it. Is this doable? I mean like, in terms of a PC, I want to simply give my limited user account an administrative privilege. Sorry if this seems weird and all but I'm unfamiliar with these grounds. If it makes answering a little bit easier, my phone is an Xperia Active and here's the information I can find inside Settings > About.  For example, I only want to change the default media sounds stored inside the internal memory. Things like that. |
77529 | My Galaxy S4 no longer shows a notification for new mails on one of my email accounts | I have a Galaxy S4 with android 4.4.2. I have 2 email accounts: my personal account from my ISP with a POP3 incoming server and an SMTP outgoing server, and my business correspondence account from my employer with an Exchange server. Since a few weeks, I no longer get a notification if I get an email on my personal account. They do arrive, and they are downloaded to my system, and they appear in my mailbox automatically), but the notification no longer appears and I no longer have a sound. I still receive notifications for my work account. The number of new emails on my email app is updated properly. There are no subfolders in my inbox. I have the problem both on my mobile connection AND on a wireless network. Things I've verified: 1. the checkmark for notifications in my account settings IS enabled. 2. A ringtone HAS been set. 3. Sync IS enabled and set to sync every 5 minutes, except when roaming. There is no peak schedule set and sync is set to only retrieve the headers. I've changed this last one to download the first 50 kB now. 4. My phone is NOT rooted, and I regularly update all my apps. If you need any more information, please ask. I'm looking for a way to make notifications appear again, like they used to. |
22205 | How to copy all photos in gallery to linux desktop machine? | I have a bunch of photos on my Samsung Galaxy Tab running 3.2 which I'd like to copy over USB to my main machine running Linux so I can work on them with GIMP and other power tools. Despite this seeming like a simple and common thing to do, I haven't found any way to do this after hours of googling and experimenting. Some answers and articles already out there assume the existence of sdcard, which I don't have (AFIK), mention directories named /dcim or /emmc (sp?), involve Windows-only software such as Kies, or are about some specialized problem not relevent here. I figured I could poke around the Galaxy Tab's file system with adb, but found no place holding .jpg or other image files, which I should have at least 30 or so of. If I knew the path, I could just do an adb pull to get my photos. If it's possible, I prefer to use adb pull, since it can be automated, but I also wonder how regular folk, the nontechies, get their photos off their tablets. I have read about MTP and that the USB mass storage device way of doing things doesn't work with the Galaxy Tab (or anything Samsung?) Just to be clear, my photos do exist on the tablet. I can see them all in the Gallery, as a regular end user. I do have the proper USB cable, and adb runs fine. |
22204 | Why is multitasking not behaving properly on my HTC One S? | I have recently purchased the new HTC One S, and I am starting to get disappointed with Android and ICS. Multitasking only seems to exist for small apps like SMS, mail, and others. Every time I have a big game running - like Shadowgun, for example - and I press the home button or lock the screen, the game stops running. If I then go to the most recent apps and pick the game, it starts over from the beginning, it doesn't continue where I left it. I am used to a HTC HD2 with its old Windows Mobile, and I was always able to leave a game in its position and come back to it later, without any problems. Why isn't Android doing that for me? Is it a behavior only for ICS, or HTC, or is it the general behavior of any android mobile? |

56499 | Can I convert a Google Drive spreadsheet to Excel format from my phone? | My work has blocked access to Google Docs. I need to print off something which is on there. At my laptop at home, I normally just export a google document to excel format but on the app version, it allows me to "send" it to an email address but it seems to send it only in PDF format. Is there a way I can export it into excel spreadsheet from the android app and send it to my work email. |
18040 | IMAP email is always delayed | I've got the oddest problem with the built in email client. I've got an account that connects to a POP3 server that works fine. I've got another account that connects to an IMAP server, and the email is always about a day late. This is very weird. AFAICT, all the mail eventually arrives, and the same mailbox viewed on a PC works fine, but the last email actually displayed on the phone is usually about a day old. I could understand complete failure, or even randomly dropping emails, but I can't figure out what would cause a rolling delay like that. Any help much appreciated. Thanks! **Update** : I'm looking more closely, and the delay is actually 20 hours, which seems like an awfully strange number. |

51714 | Import/Export option not found in messages app (4.1.2) | I just upgraded my cell phone to android 4.1.2. And I was shocked to see that there is no import/export option in my messages app. While in 4.1.1 there was the option of import/export. **My search for solution:** I have tried many other apps for messages too, they all lack the import/export feature. I then tried a new ROM of same version, 4.1.2! But again same results. **My Question:** Is there a ROM issue, or 4.1.2 does not allow this feature to import/export? **My cellphone:** I am using Qmobile A8. I have tried ROMs by INCPak |

However I only get 1.5GB data per month on my mobile and don't want it to download my Spotify playlists, update apps etc whilst using my phones WiFi.

61406 | Can an intent to open the camera specify a prefix to the names of any photo's taken? | I understand that there are apps that make renaming easy but would it be possible to specify the photo name actually before taking the photo?

27359 | Writing structured text documents | I recently bought an Android tablet with a keyboard, and would like to use it to take notes of conferences, lectures, meetings etc. On a Windows or Linux notebook, I would use the excellent LyX system for this. LyX basically allows you to write structured text without worrying about the layout, saying "this is a #3 heading" or "this should be emphasized" instead of "this should be bold and a larger size". LyX then allows you to export your text as PDF, DOC, ODF, LaTeX and so on. I am looking for an App that allows a similar approach to writing for Android. What I already tested: * Writer is almost what I'm searching, a minimalist text editor that understands Markdown and saves its document as plain text on the Android device (no network necessary). I'd like a few more formatting options and an export feature, though. * Write:Tablet doesn't seem to have many structuring features * Most "office" packages like Polaris Office do not offer format templates, but restrict the user to bold / italic / font size types of formatting * Google Docs needs a constant net connection So, I'm aware that this is a very small niche I am looking for here, and such an app would probably not make sense on phones, but is there another interesting tool for structured text creation? |

56726 | internal sd storage partition/mount problem | I got my nexus 7 2013 a few weeks ago. It worked great for some time until I decided to flash a kernel that claimed to add support for CIFS windows shares mount. After installing this kernel, when the OS booted, I did not have landscape mode working anymore - only portrait. I decided to do adb full restore to a full backup i made before this step, which seemed to have passed without any errors, but something happened to the recognition of the internal SD memory - applications are not able to use it - I am getting "no external storage" messages when I launch the gallery application and an error when trying to run the google play store - "unfortunetley, google play store has stopped". The device is still starting with only portrait mode. i then tried to format the device and used TWRP to format everything including the internal memory. After that I reflashed the original rom of google for this device (taken from here). The problem is still the same. In TWRP recovery console - I am able to access and push files to and from /sdcard folder with no problems, and see its content with adb shell. When android loads - `cd /sdcard` \+ `ls` shows that it is empty (even though it does contain files copied to it in recovery console mode) the reason for this is that with ls I can see that `/sdcard` points to `/storage/emulated/legacy` which points to `/mnt/shell/emulated/0` which DOES NOT exist. `/mnt/shell/emulated/` folder exists, but it is empty. I am unable to use the device - just start the OS (and get the error messages when trying to launch applications).

It is getting inputs from an arduino board.Arduino Board is connected to the tablet by USB cable.Application is using USB Protocol to connect to arduino.

56723 | Can 2 smartphones malfunction if they are hold together in the pocket for long times everyday? | I apologize for my ignorance but I am not very tech savvy. Basically I do a field job and I always have 2 phones in one of those bags you put around your waist. I had 2 Samsung galaxy S2 in the past and after a while they started having trouble with receiving signal. I went to a "specialized" shop where they sell smartphones and the guy told me that the malfunctions is caused by keeping them together for prolonged periods of times.And went on with some speech about electromagnetism. Now the two S2 were malfunctioning for real as I tried with different sim cards, factory resets and the problem persisted. I then bought a S3 and yesterday I bought another one. I always need 2 phones..long story. Now some other people basically confirmed that keeping them close to each other breaks them but none of them,in my opinion, seemed to know their shit. so, Can 2 smartphones malfunction if they are hold together in the pocket for long times everyday? |
56722 | GSM signal lost - howto get signal back without restarting | Several times a week I have the problems where the GSM signal is lost on my phone, due to bad coverage in that area. The real problem for me is that when that happens, and when I move to a place with known coverage, the signal doesn't come back. The only solution I know is to restart the phone. Switching to airplane mode and back doesn't help. Is there an app or method I can use to avoid the restart? * Phone: Samsung Galaxy S2 * Android: Jelly Bean 4.2 (Avatarrom) |

62934 | Nexus 7 rooting and battery life | I rooted my new nexus 7 the other day using the Nexus Root Toolkit. Before rooting I was able to get about a full day out of a charge and still be at about 20-30% but now my battery seems to drain faster and even drain while I have the screen locked. Can root affect battery life? Or could it be an application? |
56728 | GTalk_ASYNC_CONN wakelock detailed report. Keeps draining batteries | It's been a month since I've tried dealing with this wakelock. I've read a lot of articles, including this. A week ago I was also dealing with NlpWakelockCollector, which sometimes gets stucked draining my battery and sometimes not. This time the problem is GTalk_ASYNC_CONN. I really don't know what's the problem with Google. It's frustrating. Here it is what I did. 1. Full Charge 100%. Didn't touch it for about ~2 hours. 2. Set the alarm clock and went to sleep at about 6am. 3. Woke up at 12.50pm and the first I did was to save the LogCat's log and check Wakelock Detector and GSam Battery Monitor apps. Screenshots here,   and this is my log from Logcat: http://tny.cz/8122229f PS. I had uninstalled Hangouts and reinstalled it replacing Google Talk again, thereupon I logged out from Hangouts. This was two days ago. |

39787 | Asus Transformer TF101 keyboard not working when docked | I have an Asus EEE Pad Transformer TF101 Android tablet and docking station. It came with Android v3.2 installed, and I have since then upgraded OTA to 4.0. I haven't used the dock much but it used to work. Recently I did a factory reset, because I intend to sell this. But now, the physical keyboard of the docking station is not working. The tablet shows the docked indicator when docked. The touchpad works. The extra battery works. The USB ports work, but not the keyboard. The virtual keyboard is showing `hardware keyboard ON` when docked but keypresses does nothing. If I move the slider to OFF then the virtual keyboard is working. I have reset a few times now and the same issue remains. What happened, and how can I try to fix this? |
26860 | A simple explanation of CWM and Odin | I'm going to root my Samsung Galaxy Note and I come across the terms CWM and Odin very often. What exactly are they?

33121 | Lock down 'receive text messages' setting | I recently got a shock on my phone bill when it showed over a hundred texts received by the standard text messaging app. I had been receiving these solely through Google Voice, specifically to avoid such charges. I checked the Google Voice settings, and somehow the 'Receive text messages' setting had been switched to 'Via the messaging app'. Ack! I switched it back. But: Is there a way (or a utility app) that will lock this setting in place? **[EDIT]** All right, I was a bit vague in the original description of this problem. Let me walk through this step by step: Last month, my phone bill was about $25 more than the month before. Comparing it to the previous bill, I found that the difference was due to over 100 texts having been received on the phone through the carrier. I checked my phone settings, and found that in Google Voice, the setting under **Sync and Notifications** >> **Receive Text Messages** was set to **Via the messaging app**. All the recent text messages were listed in the standard messaging app. I changed the Google Voice setting to **Via the Google Voice app** , and had a friend send me a new text message. It appeared in Google Voice, but not in the standard messaging app. What I seek is a way to lock down that Google Voice setting so that it cannot be changed. (I suspect that it was altered somehow by a recent Google Voice upgrade.) Does such an app exist, or is there a way of doing this that I am overlooking? Thanks... JGB |

26005 | Reset skytex primer pocket | My son has a Skytex Primer Pocket, which he put a pattern unlock on. He has completely forgotten it. I've been trying to figure out what I might do. There is nothing of any importance on the device, I'm perfectly willing to do a factory reflash if possible, but I just can't figure out how to do anything. Anyone out there know what to do? |
26007 | Is there a (decentralized) open source "Google Latitude" alternative? | Is there an open source application which allows to share my location in real time? I'm looking for a fully open source solution, that is open source client as well as open source server software. It doesn't have to be scalable or anything, I just want to share my location to whoever has the link to the application on my server. This is not a duplicate of Alternative to Google Latitude? \- I want a self- hosted application (on my own server), not on some non-Google third party server |
27064 | Why does my screen still turn off while charging? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Where is "Stay Awake" option in Ice Cream Sandwich on the Galaxy S3? I used to have an HTC Evo Shift. If I plugged it into a power cord, the screen would stay on until I explicitly pushed the power button. Now, I have a Samsung Galaxy S III. The screen turns off after a certain timeout regardless of whether it is plugged in. There is an option to change the timeout, but I would rather not be switching it all the time based on whether I have it plugged in. Is there an option I am missing? |
26008 | Android app keeps Screen on, how to let it go *OFF* against app settings? | The app is one of those applications that keeps the screen on and doesn't permit it to turn off. It's killing the battery and I shouldn't have to simply manually turn the screen off constantly. Every other app simply lets the screen turn off once I stop interacting with it like a good app should. Hence my question: Is there any setting/app/widget/button/magic wand of any kind that will let me block this application from keeping the screen on. There has to be some kind of permission I can revoke to stop it from doing this. The phone is rooted. |
64757 | Recover data on a bricked Nexus 5 | I bought a Nexus 5 just a few weeks ago and it died miserably yesterday without any apparent reason at all. I've read quite a few threads around the net about this and I haven't been able to power on the phone with the method suggested. What I'd like to do now is trying to recover as much data as possible and/or wipe the phone completely [without losing warranty]. Is there a way to do so considering that: * connecting the phone to the computer won't work * I can't power on the phone in any way * I can't reach the boot loader What I've tried so far: * holding the power button down for 10+ seconds * holding the power and the volume (+ and -, either together or one by one) buttons for 10+ seconds * did the steps above when disconnected from a/c, when connected to a/c and when connected to usb. * phone recharged for a 10+ hours and did again all the steps above * tried at different time of day with different stars configuration, swearing and being nice, swearing and being nice at the same time too. * asked the help of all gods I'm aware of without any luck (does this suggest google is evil?) |
40751 | Control media player on one phone from another | I recently upgraded by old Wildfire to a Galaxy S2. For an event I'm running, I'd like to be able to hook the wildfire up to a sound system and play music (that's on the wildfire). However, I'd also like to control the playback using my S2. This can be via bluetooth or wi-fi, as I can use the wi-fi hotspot feature if required. Can anyone suggest any Apps that would allow me to do this? So far a remote- desktop app is the best I've found, but it's a bit awkward to use. |
3579 | How to "report" a mis-behaving app? | I purchased a very popular IM app from the Marketplace, as it was the only one that was able to connect to my company's Jabber server, and I've been using it successfully for months now. On November 30th or December 1st it stopped working, I assumed due to an issue on my company's server, since they're always tinkering with it. Late last week I started looking into it and I found out, much to my utter horror, that it wasn't my company's server that was at fault, it was the IM app's server -- I have been logging in to my company's server through their server for months now, meaning that their server had access to my password (which can be used for just about every system I use at work). I verified this by rooting my phone, installing WireShark and looking at the network traffic. I've asked for my money back, since I paid for the app, but I really want to get the app removed from the marketplace, as it's a huge danger to anyone using it. Please note that I have no proof that this company was harvesting anyone's password, but they could be doing it. Regardless, they're transmitting my login credentials in the clear (though they are encoding the password, which I'm sure will deter all but the most hardened hackers -- not!). |
75039 | Updating to 4.4.3 | I'm trying to update my Nexus 4 from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 and every time the message pops up, I select install and clockworkmod recovery keeps saying error, installation aborted, STATUS 7.

75035 | Can I force KitKat to use a particular format for its voice recorder? (Galaxy S3) | I have a Galaxy S3, for what it's worth. Recently the phone's Sound Recorder application began using .amr format, and while the filesize is small, the audio quality sucks, to say the least. Can I have any control over this sort of thing? |
3577 | Notify when connected to working Wi-Fi point | I use my phone to receive all my calls over SIP. Sometimes when I need to make a call I'm not around a (working) access point. Let's say, if I'm walking around is there an app that can notify me (via vibrate or ringtone) when I've connected to an access point? So basically whenever SIPdroid lights up green. |
58592 | Using an external SDcard with KitKat? | On a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition running 4.4 and non-rooted (I'd prefer not to root a device used for professional development purposes) Having stored some ebooks on my external SDcard, I decided that I wanted to add some audio as well (as my internal device storage is quite full.) As far as I can tell not one app (nor adb) can perform any write operations to the external SDcard's root directory. The one exception that I've found is that my ubuntu computer, _can_ create and rename directories inside /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/ even though none of my apps can. Is there a workaround for this that doesn't involve rooting the device? |
50744 | Samsung Apps for Galaxy S4 with CyanogenMod | I am going to change the official stock Android on my Samsung Galaxy S4 to the latest version of CyanogenMod. But after reading some forum threads about how beautiful and useful it is, I have a question regarding Samsung Apps: Is there any Samsung Apps available or is it possible to install them somehow? The problem is that I do not really want to lose my camera functionality (double camera photo and automatic color correction), hover function, S Memo, Samsung Apps, S Planner and so on. What you may suggest me? I really liked that CM functionality, but I also need almost all of the Samsung default tools, like S Memo (the most useful for me). |
18589 | How can I prevent my keyboard backlight from turning off automatically? | My Droid Pro's physical keyboard backlight turns off after an fixed length of time, whether I'm texting, browsing, or sitting idle watching video. I've gone through every setting I can find in all the apps and phone modes I can think of and can't find a way to lengthen the amount of time it remains on or disable the auto-off feature. This is very annoying when texting in the dark if I don't have the availability of both hands to rotate the phone and use the virtual keyboard on screen. Is there any way to prevent the backlight from turning off automatically? |
18581 | How to improve tethering while travelling in a train? | While traveling in trains, I like to surf the internet via the mobile browser or via laptop that is usb tethered with the android phone. Many times I have realized that in rural areas with bad GSM network coverage, it is possible to get html pages on the phone whereas the laptop cannot get the page. After switching to 2G-only the surfing on the phone is much better now but surfing on the laptop is still bad. I also read why-usb-tethering-goes-off-after-a-while but I do not think that my problem is caused by the network operator because surfing on phone still works. Any ideas why this happens? Are there any settings on the laptop to improve the situation? I am using android 2.2 samsung galaxy fit and a win7-64bit laptop using the e+-gsm/umts phonenetwork |
33786 | rooted android JB 4.1.1 razr m , Map network drive with VPN | So I established a VPN using openVPN app on my phone. My phone has an IP and everything on the network. What I would like to do now is browse the network drives remotely and possibly download files to my phone or open them using quick office. Is this possible?? I have done a bit of research but all the questions concerning mapped network drives are for computers. I usually just use "net use" in my .bat file to automatically connect to network drives with a user name and password when I have a VPN running for the same network on my laptop. Any help would be much appreciated! |
14605 | How to extract sqlite file | My _Samsung Galaxy S_ was having an error on the notification bar saying `sd card blank or has unsupported file system`, so I was required to format my sd card. However, I couldn't format it using the phone, and my lappy couldnt recognize it either. So I formatted the card using my _Nokia 5800_ , and it works. I tried to recover lost images and songs using Photorec. However, I was only able to recover 3 files and all of them are sqlite files. One of them is 2gb in size which match the size of all the photos and songs that I used to have. Is the sqlite file my lost data or not? If it is, how can I convert it back to photos and songs that I mentioned earlier? |
33782 | Can I hide a specific Google Now place card? | Google Now is very cool, and I like how it shows places you may be interested in nearby. I'm wondering though, is there any way to tell it "No, I'm **_not_** interested in that place, please don't show it to me again"? Note that I don't want to turn off the nearby places cards entirely, I want to see those, I just want to dismiss **specific** places and not see cards for them again. Can I do this? Note also, if there is a way, it doesn't necessarily need to be in Google Now, ... if there's even a way to go on the web and add the place to an ignore list or something or anything. |
