26879 | How can I root my Samsung Galaxy S3? Should I defer the system update? | I pre-ordered a Verizon SGS3, and it shipped to me before it was even available in stores. Since then I have not updated any programs that were Verizon-related. If at some point I want to root my phone, does it then make sense to not update these programs? I have heard that in the past, certain over-the-air updates have closed holes which are used to root. Is this the case so far with this phone? |

And if at all possible can anyone list some different mods that they think are good to install (if anyone knows any) that would be awesome. |

48633 | KidLogger data and configuration file location | After downloading and installing from kidlogger.net, the app runs well on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I want to locate the storage location of the data as well as the settings files, so that I can use Dropsync to sync that folder to Dropbox. Where might I find these files? |
82139 | How can I identify if my device is using ART runtime or a Dalvik? | I have an app called Timberman.  Under the description it gives an important note: > Game is not compatible with ART devices at the moment. Please switch to > Dalvik. I don't understand what/ how can one confirm whether his device is an ARM device or a Dalvik supported. Also please give a clear difference between Dalvik and an ART. **Note** : I would like to clarify that I am not seeking any recommendation regarding any particular application. I just want to know: how does the ART effect the game/device? Does it have anything to do with the safety of the phone or just the working of the device differs? I have installed/used many applications so far, but I never came across this kind of a note. |
20146 | Automatic factory reset and app installation | I have a Android tablet for which I want to do a factory reset, and then install some pre-defined applications. This has to be carried out by someone who has _no computer experience and no Android experience at all_. All I get this person to do is connect the device to a computer by cable, and interact with a very simple interface with a couple of buttons. All this has to be performed on a well known device and only for that model. Is it possible to connect a device to a computer and with a couple clicks do all that? If so, are there any suitable applications which do that already? Would it be necessary to create software for that? Rooting is no problem. |
20147 | Internal storage data disappeared, trying to dump | When I tried to use my SGS, it was unresponsive and didn't wake from sleep, then I rebooted it. After the boot, the desktop was like stock. I started checking my apps, some had its data intact and some lost all data. It seems that my data on the internal storage (NAND?) is gone. The internal SD card is ok. The problem: I had hundreds of notes on the Notes app. I want to try to recover them. The idea is to dump the internal storage raw data to the SD card (something like dd would do). My phone is not rooted. Questions: any advices on this approach? Any ideas for a better approach? Info: * Not rooted. Using stock Android 2.2 froyo. * Only a few apps installed. |
48638 | Viber status switches between online and offline | I understand when the online status show user online but when offline it shows Last seen at 7:00pm. Sometimes I click on the user and momentarily it will display the person Online even though they are offline. When I close Viber and open again, it shows their Last seen at 7:00pm. Why does it switch like this? What does this mean? |
48639 | Does Android support new fonts? | Does the Android operating system support installing **new** fonts? I am that person who adores calligraphy and improving handwriting, and I am proud to say that my handwriting is now more beautiful than my teachers in almost every language I know! Anyway, can anyone answer that question (about Android fonts), because this will judge if I will buy a ruuning-Android tablet pc or not! |
44735 | Why does my SD data get messed up when i connect to PC with USB? | Every time I connect my phone to my computer via USB (Huawei U8666E, Android 4.0.3) even after I've disconnected my phone, the following 2 things happen (that I can tell): My ringtone goes back to "Default" (i'm using a custom one which is saved on the SD memory) and my music playlist (the only one i have) goes empty. No music file is missing, they're just removed from the playlist, and they, too, are on my SD memory. What can i do to fix or circumvent the issue? Edit: The problem is not that it happens while the phone is hooked on the computer, but that it persists AFTER i disconnect it. In other words, after disconnecting the phone, i have to manually rebuild my playlists and change the ringtone again. Is there a way for me to transfer data between PC and phone without having to "reconfigure" the phone after the process? Or better yet a way to use the USB normally without the "reconfiguring" having to take place? |
44734 | Why can't I access the files on my SD card? | I have a Motorola Droid Bionic which I recently updated to Android 4.1.2. Since the update, I can no longer access any of the files on the 32GB micro SD card I installed in the phone. I can _view all the filenames and directories_ , but when I try to open any of the files, I am unable to. Settings -> Storage tells me that the SD card is mounted at `/storage/sdcard1` I had previously enabled "Memory card encryption" under Settings -> Security & Screen Lock -> Data encryption, and I believe this is likely the issue. I must have enabled this over a year ago, likely shortly around when I first got the phone. I just noticed this issue a few days ago. I did the update last week. I am not sure if the update caused the issue, but it seems the likely cause because it's the only thing I have changed recently. Trying to play music from the SD card (in three different players) displays the error "Could not play this track" for every song. Trying to view images on the card displays the message "Could not read file". The phone is not rooted. I have a pin enabled which I need to enter when the phone boots and on the lock screen. Why can't I access the files on my SD card, and what can I do to recover these files? |
44730 | Change to a different vibration for text messages on a Galaxy S 2 | When I get a text message I get the same default "beep beep" vibration for every text message when the phone is set to vibrate. I created a new customized vibration that is continuous for 5 seconds. How do I assign the new customized vibration I created to all incoming text messages? |
6334 | How can I force my Nexus One to upgrade to the official Gingerbread without waiting for the formal OTA update? | The OTA update for Gingerbread is being pushed out. But I'm in India and there's a good chance I'll be among the last people to get it. Is there a way to get that official update right now? |
6332 | How to delete a single (SSL root) certificate? | There is only a way to purge the whole certificate store (for SSL root certificates like those used for 802.1x). Is there an app, setting or (as a last resort) command line to remove a single certificate? (Android 2.2) |
41019 | Disable sound alerts for new emails | I have a Samsung Duos GT-S7562, running Android 4.0.4. I have set up two email accounts on my device: Gmail and YahooMail. I want to stop the alert sound it plays each time I get an email. How do I do that? ty, Rajeev |
23046 | Is it safe to swap SIM cards when the phone is turned on? | On my Galaxy Nexus, I can remove the SIM card without removing the battery. I'm travelling abroad and will find a need to swap SIM cards several times in my phone. I would like to know if it is safe to simply pull one SIM card and put a different one instead, without shutting down the phone? Safe = without damaging/locking/corrupting either the SIM card or the phone. |
59727 | iCloud doesn't sync with SolCalendar | I have been tring to sync my icloud calendar events to my Android phone using SolCalendar.

41015 | download bigger than 4 gb file on android 4.0.4 | How can I download files bigger than 4 GB on my Micromax A110 phone? FAT32 file system says that it does not support files larger than 4 GB. I know there is one more way to do that: EXFAT file system. But my phone does not support that format -- so what should I do to download bigger files? There are many games on sites which are not split into parts. Also torrent sites have many big games -- but I can't download them because they are larger than 4 GB. So what should I do? And please tell me that when I format my sd card there are some other options like kilobytes 16 or 32 or many more. So which number of kilobytes should I select for my phone to format EXFAT file system? |
41014 | How to disable Notification Sounds on per-app basis? | I have an news app which gives me the option to get informed via push notification. I would like to receive this notification but I don't want it to make a notification sound. However the app doesn't allow me to choose a custom sound. Is there any other way to make it silent? I do NOT want to disable the notification! €dit: I'm on Android 4.2.2 ParanoidAndroid on Nexus 4 |
10107 | Chrome To Phone error "Device not registered for user" | I installed Chrome to Phone on my Droid 2 device and everytime I try to send a webpage to my phone, I get this error "Device not registered for user."

10106 | Text editor that supports italic text and tab indenting, via keyboard shortcuts | Background: I've just become to proud new owner of an Asus TF101 honeycomb tablet, which has a nice hardware keyboard attached to it. I do a lot of writing, and cannot find a text editing app which allows me to set text as italic using CTRL + I, or to reliably indent new paragraphs with the tab key*. Does anyone here have any recommendations? (I'm pondering writing my own app to do this at the moment, I'm that desperate). The google docs app doesn't support it (and at any rate doesn't work unless there's an active internet connection). I have tried various free text editing apps, to no avail. I've asked the developers behind Documents to Go if they support this, but no answer yet. Quickoffice have a feature request for it currently open. Unsure about possible Androffice support, but googling suggest unlikely. Many thanks in advance, UPDATE: Documents To Go does not support the CTRL + I shortcut, although italics are supported. G PS - I know android tablets are still in their early days, and it might be a case of waiting. The OpenOffice guys have released an ODT _viewer_ , hopefully a potential full openoffice android app might do this. * \- the bundled productivity app called Polaris Office supports the tab key for indenting newlines, but not CTRL + I (it requires four screen-touches to turn italics on and off - OK for once in a while, not OK for frequent use) |

11854 | How does Android Market DRM work? | I have a bunch of rooted tablets purchased for use on a locked-down WiFi network (for security reasons internet access is not allowed). Using a different network, I purchased an RDP client app from the market. After a while on the secured network the app won't start with the error "This application is not licensed. Please purchase it from the Android Market". Can someone explain how this works? Android Market apps connect on a periodic basis to check licensing? This seems ridiculously overbearing. Is there anyway I can verify authenticity only at install time so I can run on our secured network? |

54267 | Using Android as a permanent WiFI hotspot with bandwidth monitoring per Client | I am stuck in a remote location in India where i don't have access to any wired broadband provider. The only option i have is to use Aircel 3G. For a proper **WiFi Home Experience** i used my old Rooted HTC Wildfire as dedicated WiFi hotspot. We are 3 guys using that hotspot and bandwidth usage per person is the next issue that popped up. Is there a way to monitor the bandwidth usage of each connected client on my rooted android device something like ntop? I do have a rooted terminal at disposal from ROM ToolBox Lite but i have no idea how to install ntop. |
59082 | Add exchange account in Android 4.1.2 | I have just bought three cheap china-pads and on all of them the OS registers as 4.1.2. On two of them, it says "build version" or something like that v 1.6rc1 but on the third it says 1.5. The difference between them is that on the 1.5 pad, the option to add an Exchange account is present, but is missing on the other two. Is there a way to fix this? I have tried a couple of apps, but would really like to integrate my work Exchange account. |
59099 | Is there a way to selectively sync photos? | I find the idea that all of my photos, no matter in which folder should automatically be synced to G+ a bit ridiculous. Is there a way to only sync a certain folder/album? I'm mainly interested in syncing my camera roll. |
59090 | Sony Z Ultra Google Play Edition Crash when Uninstalling | I decided to move from Verizon Samsung Note 2 to a T-Mobile Sony Z Ultra Google Play Edition. When I logged in to my new phone, all my apps (including Verizon undeletable crapware) synced through my Google account into my new phone. But, since these were not system apps but user apps in my new phone, I happily clicked the "uninstall" button (on my Note 2, I only saw "disable" but no uninstall options for the bloatwares) and my phone immediately crashed and restarted! Now, my phone crashes everytime I try to uninstall ANY apps (even new ones I just installed)! So I just have a uninstall folder containing my old Verizon crapwares and some other apps I want to uninstall now. How can I fix this so I can uninstall without rebooting? |
59093 | How does the application Xprivacy give fake private data to applications? | I was wondering how the Xprivacy app worked exactly. Does it do something with native Android code? With Java? Does it put itself between the data and any application that requests them, or only if the application has a restriction active for the relevant permission in Xprivacy? |
29447 | What is *Cell standby* and how can I keep it from eating my battery? | Looking up my battery statistics, I almost always find _Cell standby_ amongst the top consumers:  I never thought that "idle" would use so much energy. I saw that other people encounter similar problems: * Cell standby and Phone idle * Galaxy S3 cell standby is eating my battery Answers on those questions just give some raw ideas. I would like to know what exactly stands behind this, an whether there are ways to keep this "standby" from eating my battery? |

44199 | Gallery is displaying three, sometimes even four copies of the same file - why? | I have a non-rooted Android phone running 4.0.4 (ICS). The phone has 3GB of internal storage and I have inserted a 16GB SD card. The SD card contains a number of audio and video files. When I opened the stock Gallery app, the directories on the SD card were displayed as expected. However, there was one small problem: multiple copies of each video were being displayed. Wondering if something had happened to the SD card, I unmounted it and inserted it into the card reader in my computer. After mounting the card, I opened a terminal and ran: find * | grep .mp4 But the results were exactly what I expected - there was only a single copy of each video on the card. None of the files were duplicated. Next, I tried clearing the cache of the Gallery app (`Settings->Apps->Gallery->Clear Data`). After relaunching the app, I discovered _even more copies_ of each video. One important detail to note: only the videos on the SD card appear duplicated. None of the videos on internal storage suffer from this problem. |
80939 | Why my Android Kindle store open web browser? | On my new Samsung S5 when I press Kindle store button it open web browser view and not the native Kindle store. Any help? Thanks |
78883 | Is it possible to control the strength of the vibration of the phone when ringing? | When the phone is ringing, is it possible to set such that it gradually increase the strength of vibration instead a predefined strength of vibration? (When the vibration mode is turn on but the ringer tone is muted) The concept is something like the 'gentle alarm clock' that will wake me gently, rather than jolting me from my slumber. (It work by having the alarm that gradually grows louder and louder until it becomes impossible to sleep through.) |
1663 | How do you get Market to work when Android is Unable to Access Android Market? | Right now I am using HTC Hero, having firmware Android 2.1 and I have attached VODAFONE, India SIM-CARD in this phone, and also having Wi-fi connectivity. Whenever I try to "sign-in" to Android-Market using Google Account, it is always showing "Can't Establish a reliable data connection to the server" titled error with the message "This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care." Now what do I have to do to access "Android Market" from my HTC Hero phone? |
1662 | Can I boost/improve reception on my Droid? | With a rooted phone and an app you can overclock or underclock your processor. Also, off Android, with some hacks you can boost power of a wifi router and wifi antenna. It seems to me that if you can do those things you could boost the reception of your cell antenna some how. Am I right? If so, how? |

1660 | Can I get DLNA on my Droid? | Can I get DLNA on my Droid 1 through some sort of hack, patch or accessory or do I just have to upgrade to a newer phone? I'm sure this question must seem absurd to some people but I looked around and it's still not clear to me if DLNA is a software or hardware solution. |

334 | What apps in base Android can be replaced? | I've seen that you can replace the default launcher app with something like LauncherPro, the onscreen keyboard with Swype or ShapeWriter, and I've heard of others. Does anyone have a list of all default apps in the base Android OS (version 2.2 preferred) that can be replaced? |
337 | Is it possible to only silence certain notifications? | I'm running Android 2.2 FroYo on an HTC Droid Incredible. When I go to bed, I want to turn off all notifications except for incoming phone calls, which I still want to receive. Is this possible, either natively or through an application? |
333 | What Launcher app lets me put the most on one screen? | I'm currently using LauncherPro which lets me have 4x5 icons and a bar at the bottom of my home screen. Are there any alternative Launcher apps that will let me cram more in? |
332 | Is there an alarm clock app that takes account of personal and/or public holidays? | On my current and previous Android phones (HTC Magic with stock Android 1.6, and Samsung Galaxy S with 2.1 and TouchWiz) there have been pretty good alarm clock apps that allow you to set a a variety of alarms with a variety of timing and days. This gives you the handy ability to set different alarms for weekends and weekdays, for instance. Unfortunately, I often have the experience of looking forward to a nice lie-in on a holiday but getting blasted awake too early, because I forgot to switch off the alarm. What I'd like is an app that either adjusts the built-in alarm clock to automatically set the weekend alarm when a personal or public holiday falls on a weekday, or one that replaces the built-in alarm clock and offers this facility. I guess it could pull info on public holidays for my country from a public feed (pretty sure Google Calendar publish one for most countries) whereas for my holidays it could pick up specific all-day appointments with certain text in from a nominated Google Calendar. |

48990 | Different contacts on multiple phones with the same google account? | I own two lines (different carriers), and one of them is currently on my Galaxy S4. I am thinking of purchasing another (open) android device to place the other SIM on. Since I have purchased apps from the Play Store, I wish to install them on the new android device as well. Obviously, I have different contacts on each phones and I want to keep it that way. Will it be possible to have different sets of contacts under one google account? |
51340 | 4.3 issue on nexus 4 while taking screenshot | I've just upgraded my nexus 4 from 4.2.2 to 4.3 few days ago.

Thanks a lot! |
48998 | Can installing a modem help with the GPS of Samsung Captivate? | Like most Samsung Captivate users, I find the GPS hardware in my phone to be unsatisfactory. I have the impression that the actual GPS signal is pretty much useless and the phone (Samsung Captivate) gets location via wifi signals only. I heard that you can flash modems to improve the GPS. They are often posted on xda-developers without much information for newbies, like here. Since I've never done it before, I thought I would ask for some information. Can I just choose a modem and install it on top of the custom ROM that I'm using? Or do I have to get a ROM that has the correct modem inside? This is the rom that I'm currently using which works fine for my device. |
25308 | Is there a fix for intermittent "[app name] succesfully updated" notifications? | It's not a big deal, but I'd like to know if someone has figured out the logic behind the disappearing update notifications? For example, recently I set 10 apps to be updated and kept the Play Store app active (no screen timeout or anything). After the apps had been updated I saw only 3 notifications, even though all the apps appear to have been updated. The same has happened almost every time I update multiple applications. I'd understand it if there was only one notification, or as many as updates, but the number is seemingly random. I've seen this on my Galaxy Nexus on both 4.0.1 and 4.0.2. |
25307 | Galaxy Note apps on stock Android | I've just ordered a Samsung Galaxy Note, and since I generally don't like manufacturer-installed bloatware (TouchWiz etc.), I'd like to reflash it with a stock ICS ROM. However, one of the main reasons I've bought the Note is for the S-Pen functionality. Is a vanilla ICS ROM capable of running the Note-specific S-Pen apps that come with the phone? If not, is there at least a way to make the phone look and behave as if it doesn't have TouchWiz? |
25306 | Default email app to combined inbox? | Whenever I open the mail app it defaults to the inbox with the most recent received mail. Is there a way to default to the combined inbox? |
25303 | Disabling the 5 GhZ wifi band on the HTC One X | I had some wifi connection dropping issues with my One X. I don't appear to have the "you're holding it wrong" issue (the squeeze test comes out negative), but some googling found that there seem to be issues with 5 GhZ WiFi bands as well. It eventually turned out to be some sort of known incompatibility between the One X and my router's firmware (a router update fixed it), but in the process of testing, I tried to disable 5 GhZ WiFi. However I had to disable the 5 GhZ band on my WiFi router (and thus disable it for all my devices) because I couldn't find a way to disable it on the phone. A posting in the thread above contains > In the WiFi settings, under the menu, "WiFi Network Bands", select "2.4 GHz > only". However I cannot find such a setting. Am I just blind? Or is there at least another way to disable 5 GhZ on a (non-branded, non-rooted) One X? |
82300 | Camera doesn't work on Nexus 5 running Android L | The camera on the Nexus 5 has stopped working. Coming from a reboot, I can open the camera app, see the camera is working, but as soon as I click to take a picture (or video), the app crashes (tried native and Play Store camera apps), which I then have to force close, then when I reopen the camera I get the error "Can't connect to camera". The only way I've found fix that is to do a reboot, then the whole thing starts again. This is the same if I use the front or back camera. Does anyone know if there's a fix for this, or if Google are aware of it at least? |
82301 | "OK Google" too sensitive, reacts on "OK" only | When I want to start an "OK Google" query, I just have to say "OK" and Google Search starts listening. Unfortunately that makes the features unusable because when on a charger my phone is always active and when anyone in the office says "OK", my phone starts searching away. Same behaviour when I start the original "Google Search" app and use the hotword. What to do? My specs: - Device: Samsung Galaxy S4 - ROM: SlimKat 6.8 - Launcher: Apex (has OK Google support) - Additinal Info: Xprivacy installed. |

80659 | Avoiding Cross-Contamination of Auto Suggest Dictionaries | I recently switched to the Galaxy S5 and am encountering what I can only think to describe as cross-contamination of my auto suggest dictionary. I use multiple languages every day, and so the first thing I did when I set up my new phone was to install the German, Turkish, and Spanish keyboards (stock keyboards, not third-party apps). As a result, now when I type in English on the English keyboard, I get auto suggestions based on the other languages installed. For example: > for -> för > I (capital i) -> İ > Ask -> aşk It is almost as if there is a single dictionary that now contains entries for all languages, regardless of which keyboard is selected. So, is there any way to prevent this "cross-contamination"? |

One of these issues is with the Blackberry application, Blackberry Messenger. When I'm am contacting someone via BBM and send them a message the message hangs for a while(Keep in mind I have my 4g network on and WiFi with full service) yet it still hangs to send the message. Any other application that requires the network is fine, such as Google Chrome, Snapchat, YouTube, etcetera. Whenever I restart my phone it's fine for a few minutes and then the issue reitterates. What's wrong with BBM and does anyone know a fix, am I the only one with this issue or is it a popular thing on KitKat 4.4? anyhelp would be appreciated. |
64884 | K9: Marked all mails as read by mistake | Today I discovered the "Mark all as read" function in K9. I was not very happy to find out, that it marks all mail in my inbox as read even the ones currently not shown on the screen. Naturally now all my mails in the imap folder are marked as read. Is there any way to undo this? I hit the button not by intention... P.S. How can anybody wish a shortcut for this feature? :P |

10931 | How do I hard/factory/whatever reset a 1.6 tablet that will not boot? | I have one of those cheap 7" China jobs which I use as an eBook reader and not much more. Suddenly it won't start, by which I mean that I see the "BIOS screen" with the green Android robot and the OS version, kernel version and SDK version, then it shows a black screen with the word "Android" forever. There is no software installed apart from the eBook reader, so I don't mind doing a "hard reset". How can I bring the tablet back to life? |

57028 | micromax funbook stuck at logo | I have a Micromax Funbook tablet (codename:P300) which is upgraded to CynogenMod 10. I had installed an application from the play store for Clockworkmod Recovery. After installing the application when i rebooted in the recovery mode it just stuck at micromax logo. Now Upon restart, the device does not go beyond bootloader image (Stuck Micromax logo for ever). I had attempted restart into recovery by pressing option button and then powering on but it just keeps showing the micromax logo. Can anyone help in restoring the tablet to original ROM? Even if I have ROM file, without Clockworkmod Recovery how can I recover? |

Some of the widgets can be resized which is great, but unfortunately it seems many others cannot be resized at all. 1. What causes this discrepancy? 2. Is there any other way to resize those seemingly non-resizable widgets? 3. Is there a way to tell in advance whether a widget (for example, one I am seeing on the market) is resizable this way? |

61965 | Phone unable to recover after app crashes | I am using a rooted S4 device for app development purpose. I have joined a new team and working on their Android app. I see a weird issue on my phone, that if my app crashes, after the ANR, the screen goes blank, back/menu/home buttons dont work at all. At best I can suspend/screen lock my phone - but even after unlock, the state of the phone doesn't change (sometimes it returns to a normal state after 1-2 minutes). What worries me most i that this does not happen to the other members of the development team; nor does this happen if I crash any other app on my phone. I am concerned more about is this a problem with my phone, my app, or rooting ? Logs are not showing anything unusual. |
16449 | Remove google accounts from Android Market | I have 2 accounts synced with the device, lets call them _Account A_ and _Account B_. When I got the device, I first entered A to be the account for the market, for gmail and everything else. Then, I added B and selected "Sync with Google Calendar" **only**. Lately, I've started getting notifications about application updates for B, and when I go to the market each time I have to make sure I selected A (And I **did** pick A in the market settings). Can I **delete** B from the market? I don't want it to exist in that list when you select "Accounts" in the menu. (Market version 3.3.11) Thanks in advance. |

65421 | Can I install any file browser if I don't already have one | Ok. Long story short I'm an idiot. I have a rooted Kyocera Hydro, with no recovery(no access to cpu to port my own). I deleted stock file and internet browsers. I also have no access to the play store because im only on wifi and the signal bars are grey. In an attempt to fix that I did a factory reset. So, since no signal, cannot sign in to google account, no file or internet browser. I have all my apps backed up on the sd cards, and other phones to bluetooth files. By changing .apk to .jpg I can send es file over, but cannot change back to install. am I missing something. Is there any way to install es remotely with out a cpu. Oh and I can't flash stock rom cause no recovery mode. Help? |
16447 | Is there a Palm OS-style launcher (placing apps in categories)? | I am interested in a launcher/home screen application which behaves like the classic Palm OS (not WebOS) launcher. Specifically, _every_ installed application is in exactly one _category_ , and you can flip between categories. There is no separate app drawer versus home-screen. Ideally, I could reorganize the apps (and add shortcuts and widgets) within each category, and let the less-used part of that category be accessible by scrolling past the 'bottom' of the screen. (I get the impression that iOS (and so iOS-inspired Android launchers, presumably) does a similar thing of forcing each application to be on some page of the home screen, but I specifically want to have single categories larger than my screen size; e.g. "Games".) My goal is to make it harder to forget I have an app — because the standard app drawer is a big unorganized list, I hardly ever look at it, and when installing inessential things like games it's easy to forget to carefully add it to a folder. I would also like it to not have extra features which require extra permissions (widgets can check my calendar for me, thanks). * * * I am currently using folders to organize my apps into categories (in the stock Android launcher), but this is an moderately unsatisfactory solution: * There is no “Uncategorized” folder which newly installed apps or _apps removed from other locations_ end up in. * I would like the “rest of the category” to be more naturally “connected” to the home screen (e.g. scrolling down) rather than being a single icon on it. * I would like to have more than five categories. * There is a bug in the stock launcher in which the use of folders causes other home screen slots to misbehave. |

81657 | Zagg Folio Tab 4 no longer connects to my Galaxy Tab 3 | I own a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, and I just updated it to Android 4.4.2. I have a Zagg Folio Tab 4 10.1, and up until the update, it worked perfectly fine. Now, it connects to my tablet, but input does not work. I've cleared my cache and the Bluetooth cache, but neither have worked. Also, I have tried unpairing and re-pairing it. I also paired it to my Galaxy S4, which worked fine. I then re- paired it to my Tab 3, but that did not work either. What can I do to fix it? |

69705 | Can I use Titanium Backup to migrate from a Galaxy S2 with custom rom to a new Sony Z1 Compact? | Next weekend I plan to buy a Sony Z1 Compact. Right now I have a rooted SGS2 with Android 4.3, custom rom (Avatarrom). I use Titanium Backup and this has always been great for restoring apps including their data, but that was always on the same phone. I think I'm going to root the phone immediately, connect my google account, reinstall all necessary apps from the Playstore, and then use Titanium backup to restore data only. I'm not going to install a custom rom right now I think. I wonder if this is going to work out, if you have tips, what the risks are, what to watch out for. |

22930 | Remove Account Without Resetting Phone | I have a Galaxy Nexus. However, I know someone that is having the exact same issue that has an older Android phone. The account I want to remove is not the Google account. We have Lotus Notes Traveler installed. Recently there was an update and that's when the problem started. I am unable to uninstall the app because of the account it uses. When I try to remove the account it says that I cannot remove it without factory resetting the phone. Neither one of our phones are rooted. Is there some way to remove the account without resetting the phone? |
21378 | Samsung Galaxy S 2 Kies update problem: "does not support initialising" | I've been fruitlessly trying to get the new Android OS update for my s2 for quite some time now and I finally thought my troubles were over when I saw an update for Samsung Kies pop up earlier today but now I'm just even more confused. Before there just wasn't an option to update (the update button was greyed out) but now the firmware update and initialisation button is no longer grey but comes up with the error notice: > GT-I9100 does not support initialising What does this mean? I've spent quite a long time trawling through internet forums trying to find my answer to no avail; it seems no one out there has my problem. What does this error mean? Am I unable to update at all? |
49220 | Can I install Google Edition Android on an HTC One X+? | Recently, the HTC One Google Edition has been released which has Google Android 4.2.2. I'm currently using an HTC One X+ and I want to install Google's Android on my mobile. I've found some links on how to install vanilla Android on the HTC One: 1. Redmond Pie 2. XDA I'm willing to install that on my mobile. Can I do that, and if so, are there any cons to doing that? Is it possible to install vanilla Android on my phone so that every time the Android is updated, I get the updates directly from Google? |
21376 | My Galaxy Nexus can't hold on to a signal | I have an unlocked international-version Galaxy Nexus on the German T-Mobile network. It's only about a week old, but more than once in that time I've seen the signal drop completely out, and won't come back until I reboot -- and sometimes not even then. In the same location, my old AT&T Captivate (rooted, running a custom ICS ROM) gets 2-3 bars of signal, around -100dBm. I've read a lot of Verizon users complaining about the GN's radio, but I haven't heard of people having problems with the International version. Is this fixable? Are there newer revisions of the phone where this issue is fixed? If not, does it vary between individual handsets? Would exchanging it for an "identical" handset stand a chance of getting better hardware? |
21374 | Notes capture via Blackmagic Intesity Extreme problems | I'm trying to capture my Samsung Notes activity for a project documentation. I connected the phone via MHL to HDMI Bridge to a Blackmagic Intensity Extreme box with a Thunderbold connetion into the Mac.

My situation has changed, and now I want to remove that file. I know it is safe to remove because I put it there. However, I can not delete it. I have a rooted phone, and I have tried using ES File Explorer and also `su` mode in a command line emulator, but every time I try to delete it, I get an error that says `rm can't remove 'MassStorage': Read-only file system`. How do I delete this file? |

I have tried so many programs like Dr.phone, recuva and so on – but i got nothing, or it required the phone to be rooted (I can't do that). These photos is really important to me (especially my baby photos). So please, is there any way to get my photos back? |
