28282 | Play music from Android to Airplay receiver | Is there a way of playing music on my Android phone to an Airplay receiver (like Airport Express etc)? |
37982 | How to Root SpreadTrum SC6830 Kernel 2.6.35.7 | Model - Callbar A1 Android - 2.3.5 Kernel Version – 2.6.35.7 Software version – 2.3.001.P1.12065 Hardware version – P1 CPU – SC6820 (1 GHz.) Screen – 3.5” HVGA I tried several methods such as Doom Lord, Super One Click, Unlock Root, Z4Root to root the phone but none worked. Tried ADB to manually root the phone through commands but almost every command returns – “Permission Denied” or “Read Only System”. However files su, SuperUsr.apk, Busy Box were easily pushed into /data/local/tmp. Further steps like making local.prop and onwards could not be executed and returned above stated errors. Also tried modifications by putting update.zip on SD Card root and running Android Recovery System but this method also returned error “Signature Verification Failed”. Tried Nautilus on Linux Mint with OpenSSH while running DroidSSH on the phone but could not mount device by any means. Scanned my device with ‘X-Ray’ app which reported that device or firmware I am using had been patched and is not vulnerable to any of the exploit available at the moment. I desperately need rooting to remove pre-installed bloatwares and applications to free internal memory which is very less. I am trying to root phone for the last several days but every method has failed. Can any one help ? I am providing complete details of System Memory Map, MTD Tables, Symbolic Links, Directory Permissions and File Permissions of my android phone. I hope some one having knowledge of android system can help me by suggesting custom exploit after going through details given below. **## system memory map** 00000000-00000000 : sprd-battery.0 00000061-00000061 : sprd-sdhci.0 00000064-00000064 : sprd-sdhci.1 00463000-0047ffff : System RAM 004e0000-004fefff : System RAM 01a00000-0fffffff : System RAM 0452c000-04a08fff : Kernel text 04a24000-04b65a67 : Kernel data 0eee0000-0eefffff : ram_console.0 84000000-840000ff : NK reserved I/O 8e002000-8e002fff : sprd_spi.0 8e003000-8e003fff : sprd_spi.1 9c004300-9c004400 : example.0 a0010000-a0010097 : Mali-300 GP a0011000-a001102f : Mali-300 L2 cache a0012000-a0012027 : Mali-300 PMU a0013000-a0013023 : Mali-300 MMU for GP a0014000-a0014023 : Mali-300 MMU for PP a0018000-a00190ef : Mali-300 PP e0002000-e0002fff : sc8800g_dcam.0 e0006000-e0006fff : sprd-sdhci.0 e0007000-e0007fff : sprd-sdhci.1 e0010000-e0017fff : sprd_nand e0024000-e0024fff : serial_res0 e0025000-e0025fff : serial_res1 e0028000-e0028fff : sc8810-i2c.0 e0029000-e0029fff : sc8810-i2c.1 e002a000-e002afff : sc8810-i2c.2 e002b000-e002bfff : sc8810-i2c.3 e0036000-e0036fff : serial_res2 e0037280-e00372c4 : sprd-tp.0 e003c000-e013bfff : dwc_otg.0 **## mtd table** NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x2c, Chip ID: 0xbc (Micron NAND 512MiB 1,8V 16-bit) Good Block: 4034 Bad Block: 0 Reserved Block: 62 dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "spl" mtd1: 00080000 00020000 "2ndbl" mtd2: 00040000 00020000 "params" mtd3: 00080000 00020000 "vmjaluna" mtd4: 00a00000 00020000 "modem" mtd5: 003c0000 00020000 "fixnv" mtd6: 003c0000 00020000 "backupfixnv" mtd7: 00500000 00020000 "dsp" mtd8: 003c0000 00020000 "runtimenv" mtd9: 00a00000 00020000 "boot" mtd10: 00a00000 00020000 "recovery" mtd11: 10e00000 00020000 "system" mtd12: 07800000 00020000 "userdata" mtd13: 03c00000 00020000 "cache" mtd14: 00040000 00020000 "misc" mtd15: 00100000 00020000 "boot_logo" mtd16: 00100000 00020000 "fastboot_logo" mtd17: 003c0000 00020000 "productinfo" mtd18: 00080000 00020000 "kpanic" **## symbolic links** symlink("/data/bin/bash","/system/xbin/bash");

37983 | Cannot Connect to internet via WiFi on Galaxy Tab | I enabled my laptop as a hotspot and connected my tablet through WiFi. Then I turned WiFi on and it shows me the network but it tells me I'm not in range. After that it shows network disabled and poor connection. How do I get over this? |
3027 | Google Translate text-to-speech not working | In Google Translate application, when I try to install text-to-speach, It gives me a box saying: > Text-to-speach requires: > SVOX voice data: {disabled button}Installed{/disabled button} > Text-to-speach extended: {button}Click to install{/button} On clicking, it goes to the market, where the search fails: > There are no matches in the android market for the > search:pname:com.google.tts I use x10 mini, which had 1.6 earlier, so I thought like many other apps, this one requires higher versions. But now it's upgraded to 2.1 and still the same issue. Has anyone else had this issue? Is this a bug in Translate? Is there a work- around? |
19810 | How can I determine Max CPU speed at runtime? | I'd like to know the max cpu speed for the processor on an Android system at runtime. I've seen at least a couple different techniques that result in the current cpu clockrate, but not the max. Root privileges should not be required. |
3022 | Why doesn't my SIM card does allow a connection to this network? | In Android 2.2 from a HTC Desire Z I am frequently finding my phone disconnected from my mobile provider. When I select my provider from the Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks -> Network operators -> Search networks -> <My Provider> I get the message "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network". The only fix I can find is to restart my phone. Problem appears to widely affect Android phones. |
3021 | How to add Google Search Widget on Samsung Verizon GalaxyS? | I have a Samsung Galaxy S phone from Verizon. I don't see the option to add the Google search widget like I have with other Android phones. Is there a simple way to add this without doing something as extensive as installing Cyanogen? I can't find the widget in the Market. |
59977 | Swipe animation during back/forward navigation? Where is it? | I've come to heavily rely on Safari's back/forward animation, which allows me to not only navigate quickly between visited pages, but also reveals the content of the previous/next page while on the current page without refreshing, thus greatly facilitating comparisons and plain-old reading. Once you experience this, there is really no going back -- it's like reading a book. It is shocking to me Google have still (v4.3) not implemented this fantastic memory-aid and usability feature in Chrome. Since no other Android browser I tried (Dolphin, Opera, Firefox & Puffin) has such gestures by default, is it at all possible to have swipe navigation/animation on Android? |
59976 | What could cause this drop in photo quality? | The recent photos I've tried to take with my phone look like the one on left compared to older photos that look like the one on the right.   I haven't (knowingly) changed any of the phone settings, and as far as I can see I should be taking the highest quality*/resolution photos possible. But as you can see all the newer photos are coming out as though they are taken through a rain storm or on a very cloudy day (which isn't the case). Even photos taken indoors with the flash are very poor quality - so poor I deleted them as they were useless for recording the event I was at. Is this a physical problem with the lens or something in the software I can improve? * By "quality" I mean lowest compression etc. not a comment on the artistic quality (or otherwise) of the photos. |
30356 | Why are apps logging me in as someone else? | Device: Samsung Galaxy S II (i777) running Cyanogenmod 10 nightly 20120929 I'm having a very strange issue that I'm hoping someone else has seen before. In two separate apps, I'm being logged in as other users with no input from me. It first showed up in ESPN ScoreCenter, where it would identify me as someone else and import all their favorite teams. This "someone else" would change somewhat regularly (I didn't look too close at this, but it seemed like it was different on a daily basis). I assumed this was an issue with the ScoreCenter app and contacted ESPN (they were less than helpful). I gave up on that one, and just assumed it was a bug. However, just recently I noticed that Scoreloop had a similar issue. In Cut the Rope, when I open Scoreloop, it identifies me as someone else again. I initially submitted a ticket to Scoreloop, but this morning noticed it was logged in as someone else, just like the ScoreCenter app did. I saw this same issue when using Cyanogenmod 9. I'm not sure when it started exactly, but now that I'm seeing it in two separate apps, I'm starting to think it's an issue with my phone, my ROM, or some Android piece that both apps tie into. Is there a way to fix this? |
30357 | Right swipe on contact defaulting to internet calls | My problem is: **right swipe is defaulting to internet calls instead of 'regular' calls**. First off, these are my relevant call settings:   as you can see I have no accounts and the internet calls are not enabled. My contacts came from Google contacts (configured them online and then the phone got them). After they came I used the "Mark as Default" function to select the correct phone number and emails and that's when things started behaving strangely. Doing a right swipe showed me this:  Instead of calling the contact 'normally'. I started experimenting and was able to reproduce the bug using other similar contacts (contacts that I got from Google with 2 phone numbers + 2 emails). But if I created the Google contact locally (which would sync Ok with google) I didn't have any issues. No other calling functions are affected: moving the phone to my ear still calls the correct number, direct dial widget still works. My phone is a Galaxy S III running android 4.1 (but the same thing was already happening in 4.0), if that makes any difference. **What is causing this? How can I fix it?** Seems to be related to: How do I prevent "No Internet calling account" error? but I was still unable to fix it. |
30355 | Leaving work profile for Tasker | I'm using Tasker, and maybe I'm just trying too hard, but I can't seem to set up multiple conditions in the way that I want to. Here's what I'm trying to do: From M - F (8AM - 5PM), set the phone to silent mode... which is pretty easy. After 5PM rolls around though, I want to kick on the GPS/Network location listener. If I have left the office, then I want to go ahead and switch off the silent profile, and back to normal. If I haven't yet left the office, I'd like the task to sleep for 15 minutes, and then try again (sometimes I work late). It's the combination of these two separate tasks that I cannot seem to make work together. Can anyone help me out here? |
30358 | How can I reset my SGH-999? | I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-999) and am trying to do a hard reset. Somewhere along the line, things got a bit messed up. It keeps telling me I have a firmware update, and when I click `start` to start the update, the phone reboots and does not boot back up. To restart it, I remove the battery and then restart, but at the top it says "Recovery Booting" in blue text. So then I shut down (remove battery) and restart in flash mode. Then when I restart, it boots up telling me that the upgrade failed. So now, I want to completely reset my phone, but am unable to do so. I've tried all of the methods listed at http://www.hard-reset.com/samsung- galaxy-s3-hard-reset.html and no success, it continues to boot into the `Samsung Galaxy SIII` screen with the blue text at the top. Any ideas? |
59979 | Empty /data/log folder | I have Galaxy Sii s9100 with CM 10.2 (android 4.3) I am encountering the bug that fill the folder /data/log and display the notfication "Storage space running out" I can see that the problem is coming from the log folder using DiskUsage (1741Mo) The problem is I can't succeed to empty this folder, I tried : * DiskUsage (it says that I can't delete log files) * ES Explorer (the folder looks empty) * Dial *#9900# (got an error IHM not valid) Any other ideas ? Or any ideas why I can't use these methods ? |
59978 | Auto Wifi logout | When I login to my home wifi network through my LG G2, the login page dies as soon as I minimize that window. I have tried logging in with chrome, firefox, opera but the same problem persists. The login page should be active all the time, otherwise it logs out after 30minutes. So how can I keep that login page alive in the browser ? The system works fine in my laptop and even in my nokia phone, which allows me to minimize that login window, but android phone doesn't. Kindly tell me the solution. |
4194 | What is the dominant factor for evaluating performance for TTS & ASR? | We know that CPU speed ("MFLOPS") alone is not the only factor that determines the performance of an Android device. Other factors include the I/O subsystem, memory speed and, of course, the software that drives this hardware. But in the case of evaluating various phones in terms of TTS and ASR performance (e.g. minimal delay from the moment you say a word, until it is recognized, given the **default built-in** engine), can we say that MFLOPS is the dominant factor? In other words, do you happen to know whether **TTS & ASR** involve mostly CPU cycles with relatively little memory and I/O transfers? Or is it the opposite? |
34183 | How Can I Pass Bootloader (Huawei Y200 stuck logo/ Boot-Loop) | I have recently learnt a few things about Android and its system. I have a Huawei Ascend Y200, and I flashed it with ClockworkMod specifically for Y200 with a computer and it worked. I rooted my phone by flashing it and was able to install Superuser. When checking for swap partition I found out that my ROM doesn't support it. I got ROM Manager it prompted me with a message: > ClockworkMod must be installed, do you want to insall it? and I mistakenly tapped **Yes** . Now I can't get past the bootloader (Huawei logo) - it freezes there. I tried to reboot into recovery mode by removing the battery and pressing the UP + Power Buttons. I tried reflashing the first ClockworkMod. I was able to see the device on `adb` lists. I also tried factory reset. None of this has helped. I still couldn't get my phone to pass the logo (before reflashing) **Further info:** * I had access to the device's adb somehow. I reflashed it and now I can only see the adb device when in recovery mode and is stated "recovery" beside the device number and can't reflash, or access adb anymore (cmd promt says `waiting for device` forever). * Now that I don't have access to the adb device in bootloader (stuck) image, I can't do anything like reflashing ClockworkMod. Every time I plug it in the cmd prompt says `device not found`. When the phone is in recovery mode, the process in cmd prompt gets stuck at `waiting for device`, because now it shows as "recovery" beside the device number in the list, so as the device isn't responding to the process and won't restart as before. * Whenever the phone is off, if I plug the USB cable into the phone (with other end connected to PC) it does not charge, and goes directly into recovery mode. I don't see the charging indicator small lamp on. * I can press both UP and Down buttons + Power and I get a pink screen. I haven't really got much info about it. Some, on the internet, say it's a never ending bootloop. And I've heard I can flash it to skip the bootloader screen and go into fastboot, but couldn't find proper instructions and won't be able to flash it anyway (can't see the device anymore unless in recovery mode but device will respond to any process). I really need help; how can I pass the boot-loader again? PS: Now, I've learnt that my phone is in boot-loop and needs to be flashed into a new ROM, or maybe get past the boot-loader also by Flashing. |

34187 | play.google.com and Google Play app out of sync | Having become fed up with a custom ROM i was using, I reverted back to a previous ROM via a nandroid backup (through CWM Touch).

I also seem unable to request (un)installation through the web interface. Help would be muchly appreciated. |

38546 | Verizon Galaxy Nexus Discharging When Plugged In Even After USB Replacement | I've got a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus that as of a few weeks ago quit charging - in fact it quickly drains the battery (discharges 2% / minute if not more) while plugged in. I tried different batteries, cords, chargers, over USB, etc, no difference. I went ahead and followed these instructions to replace the Micro USB port and I'm still having the same issue. The interesting thing is that computers recognize the phone via USB but the battery still shows "Discharging" and the battery drains extremely quickly. I have even tried charging via the pins on the side of the phone ("pogo pins" charging) and exhibits the same symptoms as traditional charging. This leads me to believe the charging circuit itself is damaged, instead of just the USB port. Anyone have any tips or references on what else to troubleshoot or have any specs on the charging circuit itself that I could poke around with? I have a decent amount of electronics knowledge and don't mind getting my hands dirty. I am getting by with spare batteries and an external battery charger right now, but it is quite a hassle. |
5078 | Is there a way to trick the Android Market into thinking I'm using a different device do I can download protected apps? | I have an unrooted Archos 70IT with the market add-on app and there's a number of apps that I can find in the Market on my Droid but not on my Archos. They are likely "protected apps" which can only be installed on devices approved by the apps dev. To get around this I just download them to my Droid, save to Dropbox then install on my Archos. These apps work just fine, so rather than be "protected" from "incompatible" apps and having to do backflips to get the apps I want, I'd like to trick the Market into thinking I'm on a Droid or some other ubiquitous Android device. Is there anyway of doing this a) at all, and b) on an unrooted device? If so, how? |

Up to now I was able to use this as a convenient and quick shortcut to go into the settings. Do I now have to pin it to my dock or the home screen in order to have a quick way to access the settings? How can I get this back in Android 4.2.1, or was this functionality completely stripped from the new release? |

I moved the download folder into DCIM folder (the camera pictures folder, which is always visible), and now the FOLDER appears, but all the files inside it are hidden. How can I get windows to show ABSOLUTELY EVERY file and folder on the phone?

44207 | Laptop doesn't get IP address when tethered via WiFi | I'm trying to get an internet connection from my laptop via my SGS2. The phone is rooted, and I've tried two different WiFi tethering apps. I don't have a tethering plan (they want to charge me more than my home broadband!) so that's why I'm not using the native tether. When my laptop connects to the WiFi hotspot, it fails to get an IP address. I guess this is due to the phone not running a DHCP server. I've tried the following: * Setting the IP of the interface to 192.168.1.99 and 10.0.0.99 (in case of standard /24 and /8 ranges) with `x.x.x.1` as the default gateway. * The same as above, except with the public 3G internet-facing IP as the default gateway. * Setting the IP of the interface to the phone's public 3G internet-facing IP. I've been unable to send ICMP pings to any IP address. I've also tried setting various DNS servers (private IPs, 8.8.8.8, etc.) but can't resolve any host names. It's like the traffic just gets black-holed at the phone. Any ideas? I'd be happy to go with a USB tether, but my plan doesn't cover that and I've yet to find an app that'll allow me to get round it. |

36110 | Flashing new radio to my Desire HD | Last week, I decided to flash a custom ROM to my 2 year old Desire HD. I used the hack kit (AAHK) and flashed Jellytime R30. Everything is great... except for the non-existent GPS. After looking around, I've managed to tracked the issue down to an incompatible/outdated radio on my device. My current baseband version is **12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M**. According to the ticket, people were able to make the GPS work by flashing a new radio version **12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M**. To aid me in flashing a new radio, I read a lot and figured out that I would need to do the following steps: Requirements: S-OFF * Download the radio file * Rename it to PD98IMG.zip (this is important!) * Move the file to your SD-card root (not in any folder) * Download MD5 Checksum Checker * Make sure that the MD5 provided with the download link matches with your downloaded file! ^ If not performed, you might risk bricking your device! * If they match, you are ready to go! Power off your device. * Hold the volume-down and powerbutton simultaneously ^ This will boot you into Fastboot/Bootloader * You should see a screen with options * Navigate to Bootloader (if not already in it) and press the powerbutton * Wait for the flashing process to begin (it does automatically!). * Reboot your phone and you are done! So here are my questions: 1. Are the steps I've laid out above correct? 2. Will radio version **12.69.60.29_26.17.14.11_M** work for my device? It's HTC Desire HD bought in the Philippines on May 2010. (According to the thread, this is from an Inspire device) 3. Will this radio work in the Philippines? (I've read that radios are "region" specific. If they are, where can I download a radio for our region?) 4. According to a user, "flash ENG S-OFF and your device was shipped with Gingerbread you will mess your bootloader and radio won't be the main concern then". I'm currently on S-OFF (via AAHK) and my device was shipped with Froyo (I think). Will this be a problem? (I don't understand what he is saying). That's all. Thank you in advance. |
36116 | Is there a way to switch between radio modes without the phone radio completely shutting down? | Is it possible to have the radio switch between WCDMA Preferred mode, GSM mode, and WCDMA only, for example, without the radio switching off and on again? The radio completely loses signal during the, which isn't ideal. It seems like it must be possible theoretically, as the phone doesn't lose signal when in WCDMA preferred mode, when it downgrades to GSM because of poor signal. If it matters, I'm using an HTC Desire Z running Cyanogen 10.1 (Android 4.2 based). This problem also occurred on all previous versions of CM that I've tried, and on stock JellyBean 4.2.

33542 | "Red frame" around the screen when starting some apps | Just recently I noticed on my Nexus 7 that when I start some apps - and it's not just those allows to have superuser rights - I can briefly see a "red frame" all around the screen area of the app that goes away in a second or maybe a little less. Does anyone know where this comes from and in particular what it means? Note: as you probably guessed from the contents, my device is rooted. Also note that it's well possible that one of the installed apps is responsible for this, yet I don;t know which. But I'd like to know. |
33541 | Confused about Nexus 7 failing system update to 4.2 | During the day today, I got the notification about the available system update to 4.2. SO I confirmed it after ensuring that SuperSU was set to "survival mode" and then it looked like it was actually doing the update. However, when I now check the system version it states 4.1.2 just like it did before. I also rebooted once more in between just in case something wasn't complete or so. Any ideas? How can I force the update through. There was no indication that anything went wrong during the update, yet I am stuck at 4.1.2 and checking for available updates shows none. Note: I have encrypted the contents of the tablet (standard option). Can that be an issue here? |

When going to `*#*#4636#*#*` and into the WiFi Status menu it tells me the following: WiFi state: On Network State: connection lost Supplicant State: DISCONNECTED RSSI: -200 BSSID: SSID: Hidden SSID: False IP-adress: 0.0.0.0 Mac-Address: /censored/ Network ID: -1 Link Speed: 1 Mbps What should I try to fix my WiFi connection? |
18745 | Galaxy Tab - How to keep alerts visible until the screen is unlocked? | I've noticed that when I get an alert (an incoming email, or a notification from an app ( **cough** _Words with Friends_ **cough** ) and the screen is locked, I'll hear the alert sound but, when I wake up the tablet, I won't see the alert. Is there any way of having the tablet leave those alerts on the screen until I wake it up? I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 wifi-only, running Honeycomb 3.2. |
37641 | With Google Now, can I ask for directions to one of my contacts? | I understand I can send an SMS or email to a contact, but I can't figure out how to ask for directions to the contact. Is there a voice command for Google Now that will pull up directions to a contact's address? If so, what happens if the contact has more than one address? If there isn't a way to do this currently, is there a shortcut to pull up the Contact record, where I can click to the map? |
37640 | Effective way to merge contacts | Well, I suffer with that issue of merging contacts - name, phone, e-mail, birthday etc. info. 1. I backed up all my old phone contacts to Google Contacts (my old contacts were on a XLS file, so I converted it to CSV and imported it on http://mail.google.com/contacts ). 2. I already had a lot of Google Contacts, because of the bad default option to add everyone I sent an e-mail before... 3. I try to automerge contacts on Google Contacts, but it often merge wrong ones... 4. Merging manually on Google Contacts is so boring... 5. I tried some apps from Google Play to merge contacts, but they often merge wrong ones too... Do you know a effective way to merge them automagically? |
37643 | How can I automatically correct tags of music files? | I've seen apps like Shazaam and TrackID, which can provide the Artist, Album etc. info, by recording a few seconds of a song from any source. In my music gallery, there're lots of songs, with incorrect artist, albums or genre names. So is there a way that allows me to automatically correct these info, or at least fill up the missing info? |
37642 | Cannot see, buy, or download apps | I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. Sometimes when I'm looking for an app, it says "not available in your country". It's very weird that I cannot see or buy paid apps, when others can see them. Is it because of my phone, my country, my Google account, or what is it? Can I change that? If yes, how? |

71790 | Android OS update - Directly or step-by-step? | I'm about to buy my first smartphone ( I've chosen Nexus 5 ), and I don't really know much about Android. Nexus 5 comes with Android KitKat 4.4, and from what I read, the newest version is 4.4.3. Now my question : do I have to first update to 4.4.1, then 4.4.2, and then finally 4.4.3 , or can I just directly update to 4.4.3 ? Also, though a bit unrelated, is the mm-qcamera-daemon issue present in all versions, or just in the latest versions ? Thanks. |
30015 | How to unbrick a non responsive Gio | I downloaded ROM Manager today onto my Samsung Galaxy Gio, and after several attempts to back up my ROM in its current state I tried to reboot my phone into recovery mode through the app. It immediately died, and responds to nothing I do. I've tried booting it various ways, yet it remains as dead as a battery-less phone (no, charging doesn't do anything, although my battery was low at the time). The phone has been quite stable up till now. I don't have a custom ROM, it is rooted, and everything else is backed up. Is there anything I can do that will work? |
8052 | Spoof user-agent in Firefox 4 for android | _Question_ : Is there a way to spoof your user-agent header in Firefox for Android? _Explanation_ : The thing that's kept me using Dolphin for Android for the longest time is the fact that it can spoof your user-agent header to quickly and easily avoid the mobile atrocities some people develop for their sites, still giving me the option to navigate there manually if I prefer it. I don't see this option for the latest release of Firefox for Android. It seems to load much faster and I prefer the interface to all other browsers I've tried on Android, but that feature is the only thing making me keep dolphin on my phone. Am I missing it, is there an extension that allows it, maybe an option in the phone system, or is this just not in the cards for FF on Android? If not, I'll redirect this to the Mozilla devs as a feature request, but I figured I'd come here first to see if I'm just missing an option to do it. |

8057 | Use Only Mic in Bluetooth Headset, While Outputing Audio to 3.5mm Jack? | Is it possible to use **only the microphone** in a Bluetooth headset, while letting my Android phone sound through amplified speakers connected via the 3.5mm jack? More specifically, I am looking to use my Nexus One that way. I have already solved the speakers via 3.5mm jack problem (thanks to @Adrian). I am now trying to see whether I can connect a standard Bluetooth headset and use its microphone. It's OK if the same audio comes through the earpiece in the Bluetooth headset (i.e. it doesn't have to be disabled). I just want to make sure that if I buy & connect a Bluetooth headset, it will not disable the 3.5mm jack. Is this doable? Do I need to change something in the setting? (I do have CyanogenMod installed, if this helps). |

81442 | How do I remove Selfmite worm? | In June this year I experienced what I've found to be called the "Selfmite" worm on my Nexus 5 smartphone. On 24.06 and 29.06 it sent the message "Dear [contact name], Look The Self- time, http://goo.gl/[...]" to 13 of my contacts, chosen in what seems to be a random order. Once I realised this had happened, I looked the issue up on Google through the phrase used in the message and found that this worm should actually install itself as an app called "The self-timer" that you should be able to uninstall, but I could not find this after looking through all of the installed apps listed in the settings page. At the time I had enabled the security option within Android that allows the installastion of apps from unknown sources and I realized my mistake then, though I do not know how the worm actually reached my phone since I had never clicked any dodgy links in messages or the internet. After this I disabled the installation of apps outside of the Play Store, and installed the avast! Mobile Security app for whatever help it may be in the future. It wasn't until this Saturday, on 23.08, that the messages were sent again to the same contacts. I had not touched any security settings, nor had I accessed any sketchy sites, and once more I have found no unusual app to have installed itself. My question now is, does anyone know of a way to prevent another occurence of this without actually wiping my phone clean? Though I wouldn't know if this would even help as I don't understand how the worm exists in the phone in the first place. Would activating Avast's firewall within their app be of use? Rather, I'm asking if going through the hassle of rooting the phone is worth the trouble. Thank you in advance to anyone who has advice or opinions to offer. |

Its like that all over campus. Other places I can use the WiFi without any problems. Immediately after the mentioned update, internet worked for one more day on my phone in my dorm, but after that only other WiFi networks seem to work for me. I have no idea what the reason could be. Any ideas what I should look for? |

1283 | Why don't some widgets work on Cyanogen? | I have a HTC Hero CDMA that I upgraded to Cyanogen 6. I'm on version 6.0.0-Heroc-testing2. Before installing Cyanogen, I had the official Twitter widget and official Facebook widget on one of my screens. Ever since upgrading, I have not been able to add the Facebook widget or Twitter Widget. Both of the apps work fine, but when I go to the list of widgets I can add, neither of them is there. I'm using the default home screen/launcher that comes with Cyanogen. Other widgets such as Beautiful Widgets work just fine. Is this a problem with Cyanogen, the home screen, or something else? I have a hard time believing these widgets are only compatible with HTC Sense. |
28890 | Selectively restrict sync for some applications to wifi only | I know it's been asked here how to prevent applications from using data connections. But that is not my intent. I have a Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and I would like to restrict most of applications to use my data connection. But would allow some to use it. For instance I would like to restrict Currents, Google+, Facebook, Maps and Google Now from using my data connection. But I would like GMail and Talk to use it. How can I do this? And is it also possible to set sync frequency when wither on Wifi or Data connection? |
