20275 | Controlling a Google TV remotely via SSH | I have a Sony Google TV running firmware 3.2. Is it possible to install a simple SSH server and log into it remotely via SSH, and then issue commands to change TV channels, load websites in Chrome, etc? I've seen some similar questions on this topic, but nothing specific to Google TV devices. I tried installing SSHDroid and QuickSSHd, but the Market said that neither were "compatible with my device". |
20278 | How can I delay the screen's password lock on my Stratosphere? | I need my to have my screen be password locked, but I want it to kick in after only 5-10 minutes (i.e., if I lock my phone and unlock it a moment later, I _don't_ want to have to put in my password again). With my old Droid Pro it was very easy to set that up. On the Stratosphere it doesn't look like that option is available, so I keep having to put in my password every single time I go to unlock my phone. Am I missing something? Is there any way for me to do this? |
20279 | How to restore/add google search to android browser - Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830L | I own a **rooted** Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830L. My carrier decide it was a good idea to remove Google search from the default android browser replacing it with a absolutely useless search engine they provide (which I hate with the burning passion of a thousand suns). If I go into the browser's settings > Select search Engine, I get the carriers engine as the only option. Is there a way to install google search or restore the browser back to a non carrier customized version? I already have Opera mini installed but I want to use both so please do not suggest this as a solution. |
10185 | Can an unlocked Nexus One without a carrier be used as a standalone device? | I'm interested in playing around with the new open android open accessory development kits but don't want to pay a monthly fee for having a cell-phone. If I buy the Nexus One/S unlocked and forgo getting a wireless carrier, would I still have access to the full set of phone features minus 4G/Calls/Texting? In the past, cellphones minus the carriers were crippled from doing anything useful. I'm wondering if this is still the case with the newer smart phones. Essentially it'd be an android-powered iPod Touch. |
10189 | Does Samung Galaxy S2 support the use of Client Certificates for ActiveSync? | Does Samung Galaxy S2 support the use of Client Certificates for ActiveSync ? Most other Android phones need to rely on TouchDown or other third party applications. Can anyone confirm if this is possible on the new Galaxy S 2. My exchange server implements the use of Client Certificates (.pfx). Thanks,cyphr |

40949 | time_in_state wrong value | I've been using apps like "BetterBatteryStats" and "CPUSpy" to see what CPU states my phone is most frequently in, but both are reporting the wrong clock frequency. I can only assume they are using this value cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state 1000000 192 800000 3 600000 12915 300000 20519 But the max clock speed on my phone is 1200MHz, not 1000MHz.

29741 | What does it mean to "brick" your phone? | I'm considering unlocking the bootloader on my Verizon Galaxy S3 (SCH-I535). However, a guide I was reading made this statement: > Once you have unlocked your phone’s bootloader using this app, you must not > receive any over-the-air (OTA) updates or via Samsung Kies. Doing so will > result in bricking your phone. I understand that bricking a phone means rendering it unusable, but does this also mean unrecoverable? When a phone is "bricked", does that mean it is virtually impossible to restore it to a working state? I'm a little concerned about the risk if that is the case. |
29740 | Automatically notify people when I leave/reach a location | Does anyone know of a way to automatically send a notification when I arrive or leave a location? For example, I'd like to send a notification to my wife whenever I leave the office. Does anyone know of a service that would do this? I'd prefer something stock/Google over some home-brew app, but I'm interested in hearing what's out there. I'm not really interested in a foursquare type of thing where I earn badges, it's more for communicating my location with one or two people. |
40940 | Airplane mode behaviour on Galaxy S2? | I recently noticed, when I enable airplane mode, my GPS stays enabled. I do not recall this being the case in the past and it really does not make sense to me. Is there a setting somewhere for keeping GPS enabled in airplane mode? Are there other Galaxy S2 users out there with this behaviour? Other Android devices? Thanks for any help or input. Just trying to figure out if this is expected behaviour at this point. |

I'm running Android 2.3.3 on a LG Optimus One and I've encountered two different scenarios: 1. WiFi on & connected; 3G off: I can connect to the VPN, but browsing does not work at all, nor any apps that use the Internet. 2.

I've tried several key combinations but couldn't get into recovery mode. Could somebody please show me some hints? |
1155 | How do I change gmail accounts when using the share functionality of an app? | I have 3 gmail accounts coming into my gmail app. I also frequently use the "Share" feature of many apps (Browser, Gallery, BeyondPod...) to share links via gmail however when it opens up the email compose screen sometimes I am given a dropdown to choose which account to send it from and other times it defaults to the account of the last inbox I checked and doesn't give me an option to change it. This does not seem to have any rhyme or reason to it. Does anyone know how I can make sure to always have the option to choose which account I'm sending from? |

59012 | How to get Google Play Services back | I have a Samsung Galaxy S2. Recently I was trying to clear space, so I deleted a whole bunch of apps. I deleted Google Play Services, not knowing its function. I have since tried to reinstall Google Play Services, but it won't let me. I think I must have accidentally uninstalled something else that allowed Google Play Services to be installed. Anyway I don't know how to fix this problem. Does anyone have any ideas? |

8527 | On many applications, text is wrapped to half the screen width | In Gmail, Reader etc., text is wrapped to about half the screen width. This is extremely annoying! Text-size is normal, and I can't find any global settings that would govern such a thing. Can anyone help me out? I'm using a Nexus S, CM7.  |
8526 | Force Media Update? | Sometimes I download songs from various sources, and they aren't put in the requisite media folder on external storage. The media scanner can still find them, but the only way I have found to do this is by moving the file around with a file manager, or mounting and unmounting as USB storage. This forces the phone to rescan for media files. Does anyone know of a way to give Android a hint that it needs to rescan for media from within Android itself? |
50471 | Connecting Samsung Galaxy Note 8 to a hardwired Ethernet | Has anyone been able to connect the Galaxy Note 8 to a hardwired Ethernet network? If so, what adapter was used? There are times that I cannot use the Wi-Fi and need to connect using a wired network. |

But i am not sure what kinds of Interactive whiteboard are support my Android TV box. 1.It seems that the interactive whiteboard uses USB interface to communicate with the host. As my Android TV box has USB port and supports most of the TVs, does it mean my Android TV box can support the interactive whiteboard which support USB? 2.If the interactive whiteboard doesn't support my android TV box, can i get its driver and write it into the ROM to support it? |

22657 | My Beats Audio icon is no longer being displayed during playback | I bought an HTC One X and when I first started using it whenever I played audio I would have a little red Beats Audio icon shown in my notification bar. When you pulled the bar down it would list the item and say "Beats Audio enabled" and when you touched it, it would turn it off and on. Recently it seems to have stopped being displayed. This is on all audio, so music from the htc music app, Youtube, and Deezer (a music streaming app). Does anyone have any ideas on what's happened to it, if it's a known bug or if there is an obtuse setting hidden somewhere that I can try to see if I've turned it off by accident. I have had a poke through the settings and can't see anything obvious. I am running TasKiller but I would assume that running an audio app would kick off the app. |

61034 | Can I create a wifi network on my WiFi-only Nexus 7? | I have a Nexus 7 on which I'd like to create a wifi network, so that I can have my laptop connect to it. The goal is to transfer files back and forth (I have a server running on the Nexus 7). I'm not talking about tethering — the Nexus 7 is wifi-only. I'm aware that what I'm asking for will mean that neither device will have an Internet connection. The device is not rooted, and I'm not willing to root it. I'm looking for something that be installed from the Play Store without rooting. Thanks. I know that I can do things the other way around (create a wifi network on my laptop and have my Nexus connect to it) but let's exclude that for the purpose of this question. |

26544 | WANTED: Download Archive of Old Google Apps (APKs) for G1 (1.6 Donut) | Are old APKs for Google Android apps available for download from some official or trusted source? I just reset my G1, and would like to reinstall some of the (older) Google apps that don't appear to be available in the Market* anymore. Google did make some older versions of their apps available, but not everything that I'd like to get back. For example, I was able to update to Google Maps version 5.6.2, though the newest version in Google Play is (I think) 6.9.0, but Google Listen doesn't any longer appear to be available through the Market app on the G1. **Update:** Though searching for "listen" or "google listen" within the Market app does not turn up a listing for the target app, nor does viewing a list of applications by publisher "Google Inc.", I was able to get the Google Listen app through the Market, by going to the web browser, and navigating to https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.listen, and then letting the Market app handle the redirected Intent. I'd still like to know if an official or trusted source is available to download old APKs published by Google. *It's still called the Market on the G1 running 1.6 Donut. I'm guessing Google didn't bother to make the new Google Play store compatible with old devices/versions. |

80700 | Disable permanently or uninstall the exchange services | I'm fighting with the exchange services on my Samsung Galaxy S4. They can render the phone unusable, draining even 40-50% of battery during the day. I've deactivated the Exchange account mail synchronization, and I'm constatly killing the app when I notice it's running, but it keeps respawning which is extremally annoying. And if I don't notice, I can find myself out outside without battery power to do other things I need.

65200 | Samsung Galaxy S3 keeps restarting, stuck on Samsung logo | Two days ago I got the official update of jelly bean 4.3 to my Samsung Galaxy S3. Last night phone was dropped from a small height. Today morning when I switched on the phone it worked fine. But in the evening, suddenly my phone restarted and goes to Samsung Logo Splash Screen (Samsung galaxy S3 GT-I9300T) and keeps rebooting. I removed the battery and insert it after a few second. After that the phone worked fine and again the same problem happened. If I remove the battery to switch off the phone and if I insert the battery again, phone switch on by itself (without press power button) and keep restarting. I try to open the `Home` \+ `Volume Up`\+ `Power On` button option. But is not working. If I plug the phone to charge, gray battery shows and again restarting to charge. (I mean, phone won’t stay in a stage). If i try `Home` \+ `Voulme Down` \+ `Power On` option, phone shows the download mode for 5 seconds and restarts again. So can you please let me know it’s a software problem or hardware problem? If it’s a software how to fix it ? ( I tried the emergency firmware recovery through kies, but kies couldn’t fine my phone).

32243 | Failed app installation, storage full, safe to delete files manually? | I tried to install NetFlix, and during the installation my phone rebooted. After coming back up, the internal storage space was reported as low (and it is, only a few MB left) so I can't attempt a reinstall. Netflix is not reported as an installed app, and I cannot uninstall it. I did a bit poking around (with root access), and the failed netflix installation is still lurking there, in the directory: `/data/data/com.netflix.mediaclient` stealing **18.1M** of my precious free space. The question is: **Can I delete these files safely?** * My device is GT-S5570 running Android 2.2 with root access. * Please don't suggest uninstalling "some apps" to free space (in order to reinstall and uninstall Netflix). I have moved all but 6 of my apps to an external partition on my SD card using Link2SD, so the individual apps don't take up much space. I would have to remove _a lot_ to release enough space. * If you wonder why my space has gone so low, it's because my silly device, has only 160 MB of internal space to begin with. I usually try to keep the free internal space at somewhere around 25MB. |

57644 | CyanogenMod Boot Animation Squished | I recently installed CyanogenMod (nightly) on my tablet. I like it and it runs much faster than Android ever did. But when it boots, for the first 5 or so seconds, the (portrait) boot animation is stretched so that it takes up half of the screen vertically and extends to around double the width horizontally (almost like it defaults to landscape sizes or something?).

52169 | How to know which applications are using "Recorder" | I've recently installed Automatic Call Recorder by Global effect on my phone which has almost 5 star rating and is working well for many people (as per the reviews). But for me, it gets activated while an incoming or outgoing call is in process but at the end of the call gives an error message that it's unable to record as the recorder is used by some other app. Firstly I do not have any other call recording app installed and Secondly, I have tried closing most of the active apps that I could. But still no luck. **Is there any way by which I can know which all apps are using the recording service of my phone and hence raising a conflict?** Thanks in advance! |

64556 | Bash-Shell on Android Tablet (Transformer Pad TF701T) | Is there any way to get a fully working bash shell on Android together with a terminal emulator, that supports a hardware keyboard (German Layout)? The features I need at least (Terminal Apps, NOT graphical!): * Bash working with normal .bashrc and scripts (Function Definitions, Aliases...) * SSH-Client with hostname lookup and the ability to do some SCP stuff * GIT-Client with hostname lookup and at least push, pull, clone, commit, branch, checkout * less and nano or at least a vim, when it accepts my german keyboard. Also would it be nice to have: * rsync client to do some rsync stuff * curl and ping * grep * some tar and or zip-stuff * clang-compliler, python interpreter, php interpreter I already found Terminal IDE but it is unusable, because it doesn't support my german keyboard layout of the tablet's hardway keyboard. Also it doesn't support Hostname Lookups. Also I found KBOX2 but it doesn't have a git-client and uses the zsh shell. BTW: I am using Android >= 4.2 As a Terminal Emulator, Terminal Emulator looks good; But is made for Gingerbread. Just found out, that Kbox2 uses Bash as Shell Interpreter, so I just need Git Packages for it to fulfill my wish. |

82131 | How do I enable sticky keys for a Bluetooth Slide-out Keyboard on Android 4.4.2? | I've got a slide out bluetooth external keyboard for my Samsung Galaxy S5. It's currently rooted and is running OmegaDroid as my ROM. I'd like to make it so that my modifier keys are "sticky", in that when I click the "shift" key, the next letter I type with be shifted. Right now, I have to hold the shift key down in order for the letter to be capitalized, and it is driving me up the wall. I much prefer the Droid 4 way of handling the shift key, as you don't have to do weird finger combinations or reach with your other thumb to get a letter to capitalize. I'm totally rooted, and I'm happy with backing up my phone to try crazy things, as long as I can get this thorn out of my side :D. Thanks! |
15439 | How do I troubleshoot the updgrade process of my ASUS Transformer to 3.2.1? | I just got a new ASUS Eee Transformer TF101. (Ironically on the day the Prime is officially released/announced. Oh well). It came with Android 3.1 per the Settings page. I tried Settings: About tablet: System Update and am told there are no updates available. I read that 3.2 is available on these devices. (I know 4.0/ICS is still a future thing). How do I get to 3.2 on this device? No obvious downloads on Asustek web page. I am on my WiFi at home, checking mail, downloading apps, etc. So how do I troubleshoot why the Over The Air upgrade did not show an available update, when there has been one available since early 2011 (many moons ago). I am logged in to my Google Account. (I have my Gmail, Google Voice, and Youtube accounts all connecting ok). What else can I check or look at, to understand why the OTA upgrade is not being made available. |
2722 | How do I prep my rooted and moded phone for resale? | I have a rooted MyTouch 3G (HTC Magic) that I want to sell to help defray the cost of my new phone. I have been running CyanogenMod on the phone. My problem lies in the fact that I don't really want to stick somebody with the slightly buggy way the phone runs now. I could just slap the stock rom back on it but I don't hear very good things about it and I'm pretty sure the fact the phone is rooted will still prevent new updates to the phone from HTC. So, what I'm asking is: What should I do to make this phone easily usable by whomever might end up with it? Is there a mod that is going to be super user friendly that won't require constant tweaking on the part of the user? Or is there a way for me to return the phone to vanilla stock? |

63525 | Couldn't open connection to server | I have a problem on _Micromax Canves 2_ , and my colleagues experience the same. I don't understand why some times it works and some times not. It works if I connect to WiFi. But not when I switch to my mobile network Internet. Then I get a message on outgoing server settings for my mail client: "Couldn't open connection to server". Strange: when I used 2G network I was able to connect – but not when I switch to 3G network. But now on both networks I am unable to configure my mail settings. This started after the Mail box password was changed. I have checked with my IT guy and all the inputs are correct and the new password. Any suggestions how to solve this problem? |

9773 | Can't connect to phone network, banned? | I need a sanity check here. I was sitting on the train listening to music over 3G, and we went in to a tunnel. Lost the signal, tried to reconnect and couldn't. Now I can't connect to my phone service at all, even though 1) I have a strong signal 2) I can see my phone service in the list of available networks. When I try selecting the network, it says it's not available to connect, and that I should try later. The thing is, my coworkers have similiar service and phones, and their works. My question is; can the service ban my specific phone from connecting? |

21082 | Can you damage the proximity sensor if you keep it always on? | If you keep the proximity sensor always on (like for applications that turn on the screen when you tap the sensor a few times) is there a risk to damage it? I'm assuming that the sensor works only in certain situations (e.g. phone rings and sensor is activated to see if phone is in pocket, during a call to detect proximity to the head etc) so I'm wondering if it's OK to keep the sensor on all the time. |

Hoping to get a solution to this problem... |
7734 | How do you create a folder on a home screen in Honeycomb 3.0.1 (Xoom)? | I was rather shocked to learn that my Xoom tablet, running Honeycomb (3.0.1) does not support the ability to group home screen shortcuts into folders. Nor does it seem to provide a stock widget that could be used for organizing shortcuts. Coming from a Froyo (DroidX) phone and iPad, both of which have long supported folder functionality, this is a huge surprise and my only big disappointment with Honeycomb. I have found 3rd party apps that can help this (Folder Organizer), but this App is overly complex for the given task. If anyone can recommend an app that does nothing but simple iOS-like folder organization, that would be great. (I realize there are many alternative launcher/homescreen repplacements that support folders, but would rather not broaden the discussion that far for now). I find it embarrassing to have to explain to iPad users that Honeycomb does not have anything like folder organization for apps built-in to the OS. Is this a design "feature" of Android? Does Google prefer another method for organizing home screen icons? Is it coming in a future release? |
68327 | I can't answer phone calls in some situations | I have a Motorola Citrus running android. I know this is a lame question, but I am a newbie to android and smart phones. Sometimes I will get a phone call I can't answer. The incoming call screen will come up. On the left their will be a green circle with an icon of a phone receiver in it. On the right is a red circle with another icon in it. Press either will not allow to take the call. I'm guess a setting is messed up somewhere, but I have no idea so I thought I would ask. Thanks in advance for any help |
67310 | How to find the root of android slow down | I have samsung galaxy nexus with CM-11 nightly 07-04-2014. About twice a month I update my version to the latest nightly build and it was pretty good for a while. Unfortunately last time ( for a couple of weeks ) there were two updates which really slowed down my device. Every app starts now up to 10 seconds. Even when I get a phone call sometimes the phone is not fast enough to display me an answer call button. And the network became slow as hell. CM update download over wifi will take up to several hours, while before it was about 5 minutes. However wifi in local network works a bit faster. gprs inet also works very slow. 100K pdf download takes up to 5 minutes, while it was up to 10 seconds before. I tried to downgrade to the last stable version I had ( it looks like any before 03-25 ), but without success. Important note: I did not perform the whole wipe during downgrade. I only formatted /system and /cache. I also tried to install other nightly builds with the same result. There is nothing suspicious in dmesg or logcat. Sometimes in dmesg I can see messages about killing some users apps but it seems normal to me. How to find the root of such slowdown? And I'm not sure if the whole wipe will help me, as I'd like to save app data and restore it after wipe. |
67316 | Why does my Samsung Galaxy S3 no longer vibrate (except for right after boot)? | Recently I switched my Samsung Galaxy S3 (model number SPH-L710) from TouchWiz (Jellybean) to SlimKat (KitKat) 4.4.2 build 4.1 stable. As of right now, the phone's vibrate function does not work except for when first booting the phone. The vibrate function works for around 30 seconds to a minute (I test this by repeatedly changing the volume from the quietest to vibrate using the rocker). Eventually, the phone just stops vibrating when this occurs, and no other app can get the phone to vibrate as well. I double checked all my application settings, but I haven't installed any new apps aside from the ones I backed up using Titanium Backup, and the vibrate worked fine while it was on TouchWiz. Is this a SlimKat bug or do I just need to dig harder to find the app causing it? If so, what are some problem apps/services that can cause this? |
