19690 | Camera time delay on 2.3.5? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Is there a zoom and timer functionality on Nexus S camera? Is there any app that will let one use a time-delay shot with the phone's camera on Android 2.3.5? The default camera app doesn't seem to have time- delay shots, as far as I can see. |
7060 | Getting latest update of certificate/credential/ssl store | Hy, I realize sometimes when browsing with https shows the certificate is not valid "This certificate is not from a trusted authority", clicking continue will just poping up the same warning. That time, I start thinking certificate store not updated. I trying to compare with Windows trusted CA which it will be updated automatically. I think certificate must be update in a period of time since the validity of trusted CA is about 1 to a few years. I cannot find this thing mention in Android anywhere. Does the way it manage certificates is different? How can I make sure I get the latest update? Anyone realize this? |
18622 | Android custom keyboard shortcuts | I have a galaxy tab 10.1 connected (by Bluetooth) to a hardware keyboard. What I couldn't figure out was how to use custom shortcuts to do specific task the same way I do it on my pc. For instance, say I type `Ctrl+e` on the keyboard, then the application menu will be opened. I searched the android market, xda-developers site, stackoveflow and the net for an answer but couldn't find an answer. I did not even find out if rooting was required for this :( Does anyone know how to do this? |
33222 | How to manually disable or hide the system bar (menu bar) at the bottom of the screen? | I am using an ASUS Transformer TF300 with Android 4.1.1, and there is an app that shows the playing cards at the bottom of the screen, and show the "Continue" button when the card game is finished. But the playing cards are half hidden by the system bar, and this "Continue" button is hidden by the system bar mostly, except about 2mm is showing, so it is kind of difficult to press the button. Is there a way to tell the system bar / menu bar to hide itself? I also went to the settings and set the "System bar lock" to off, but somehow the bar is still showing. |
18626 | Has anyone had trouble connecting the Xyboard via ADB? | I have no problems when I connect any of my other Android devices (Galaxy 7" & 10", DroidX, and Motorola Xoom), but when I attach either the Xyboard 8" or 10", adb doesn't see them as connected and Eclipse doesn't either. I have everything on the devices set the same as the others, USB Debugging in Development and Allow unkown sources. What am I missing? |
18629 | How can I change the order of local bookmarks in the stock browser | The local bookmarks on my stock Browser are in an inconvenient order. The first is one I added recently, then there are a dozen which came with the Android OS, then come the bookmarks I added over the course of a year using this device. How can I change the order of these bookmarks? Ideally, I'd like them to be in some order of most recent use. Or, I'd be happy to be able to move the bookmarks around so that I can choose the order myself. By "local bookmark" I mean the bookmarks I get in stock Browser -- menu -- Bookmarks -- pulldown "Local". I'm running Android 4.0.3 "Ice Cream Sandwich", which is an over-the-air upgrade from the "Gingerbread" version which came installed on the device. The device is a Samsung Nexus S, unlocked, and used mostly in Canada. |

6961 | Is there a way to copy files directly between two Android devices on the same wifi network? | I now have a _Samsung Galaxy S_ Android phone running Froyo 2.2.1 and an _Archos 101_ Android tablet - also running Froyo. **Both are 'connected' to the same home network via wifi.** Is there a method by which I can **copy files directly between the two devices** using Wifi? Bluetooth is also an option, but since I want to copy a lot of thumbnail images, I think this is too slow. * * * **UPDATE** _The solution I choose:_ I managed to copy files using the **ftp** protocal , using **swiFTP** as ftp server on my Archos table, and using **Ghost Commander** on my Samsung phone. If you want to try something similar: you might look at my comments to the accepted answer on my other question: **question about a 550 error I received during my initial ftp testing** in order to see what I had to do to make it running. |
6962 | Is there an easier way to update Swype? | I currently have the Swype beta installed on my EVO - not the pre-installed one that comes with the newer updates, the actual beta from their site. I noticed yesterday that if I launch the Swype Installer it will check for updates to itself, then download and install the new version for me. This is nice, since it is not distributed in the Market. However, I can't seem to find the same functionality in Swype itself. The Installer doesn't check for updates to the actual keyboard, and it just greets me with the "Congrats! Swype is installed!" screen after launch (even after updating). The only way I can figure out to update Swype at this point is to: 1. Find out if there's a new version somehow (Google, Swype's website, etc) 2. Uninstall Swype 3. Reinstall Swype Is there an easier way to do this? It seems odd that they have no update feature built in since they deliberately chose to distribute Swype outside of the Market, but if such a feature _does_ exist I have no idea where it is. |
15454 | Why is the connection between the Android emulator and a PC so slow? | Host OS: Windows 7 x86 Android emulator target: 2.3.3 When I execute 'adb pull' or 'adb push' with emulator - transfer speed is about 70KB/s. When I do this with real device it's normal USB speed. Why is this? |
15455 | Wi-Fi connects but can't browse | I'm opening a virtual router through my laptop, and my Galaxy S2 can see and connect to it fine. However, when I try to do anything that requires the network, it doesn't work (for example, I can't browse). The top bar shows the wireless icon and the connection appears perfect. What is causing this? |
6967 | How do I delete a file from my Xoom? | I downloaded a drawing app for my Xoom and it saves the pictures to the local device (called "SD Card" even though it is internal space). How do I delete those files? I can find them to attach to email, but they don't appear in my list of "downloads". Do I need to get another app? Is there nothing that comes with the Xoom that lets me manage those files? |

8156 | How can I attach a default sms template text to a specific contact number? | I would like to **attach a certain text** to a specific contact number to used as **default text** when I want to send a text. _In other words_ : as soon as I select a contact to send a text message to: some default text should already be inserted. I am aware that programs like `tasker` can do this. Although undoubtedly a very impressive program, it seems to me to be an overkill to install a program like this, just to have this one feature. Is this possible ? |
8155 | How can I save keypad command numbers like `*#*#4636#*#*` to my contact list? | I learned from a previous question of mine that Android has got several system numbers, or "keypad commands," which produce all kinds of information or invoke a system mode. As example: one of them is `*#*#4636#*#*` ( _which produces all kinds of usage statistics_ ). **How can I save these number to my contacts list ?** Or is there some **other way** that I can create a **short cut** to enter these numbers ? |

60096 | Nexus 7 and ethernet connection | In places where there's no wi fi, wired internet connection is sometimes available. But reading around it seems there's a bug in my Nexus 7 (2013) - Android updated to 4.4.2 - that prevents an ethernet connector from working. Is this correct? Has there been any response from Google about it - a firmware fix? I'm not really up to doing my own patching. |
40794 | Android to iPhone - clickable phone numbers in SMS messages | Need a way to have clickable phone numbers from iPhone SMS's. I started a new job with a company that uses iPhones, and we can send phone numbers that can just be tapped to be called. When that same SMS comes to my Android the phone number comes through as some download that I can't just click on to make the call back. Does anyone know of a way that will allow for this "clickability" feature for the Android? (from an iPhone SMS sent to me). I looked at Handcent, and GoSMS already but they can't do it properly. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. |
40797 | Restore colors after Android update | I bought an Xperia t two weeks ago. When I plugged it today, I've been asked to update Android, what I did.. Now the sms "chat" changed color and display format.. many other things changed color and format too. How can I put it back like it was before? I tryed changing the theme, it didn't work. Is it a change from Android or is it a configuration problem? Does android always change colors and everything? Everything had a dark/black background before, it's now all white, blue and purple...... I liked it dark Thank you! |

60182 | Nexus 4 "dies" after upgrade to 4.4.2 | I recently updated my Nexus 4 to Andorid 4.4.2 - ever since my device "dies" inexplicably. When I say dies - I mean my device is still technically on - I can dial the number but my phone doesn't ring, and I cannot get the screen to turn on. When it happens - I need to turn it off (10 seconds push on the power button) and start it again. I performed the reset to defaults - and for a day the problem went away - but then I connected my device to my work place using Air Watch - and the problem returned. I then uninstalled Air Watch and the problem still continues. HELP!!! How can I solve this problem? My device worked fine on Android 4.3.1 |

40425 | Why does my device shows a resolution other than that advertised? | I bought two different cheap android tablets, in the process of buying a dozen for my company. I haven't had much experience with them before and there's one thing that's bugging me. I downloaded a few simple apps that show the screen resolution, and the values are 768x976 (portrait) and 1024x720 (landscape). The devices are advertised as 1024x768 (4:3) and indeed, they look 4:3. What's going on here? Are the devices lying in their specs? Are the apps inaccurate? Is this because the apps omit parts of the screen that can't be used for apps? The devices aren't well known but for reference, they are: Dinosaur Dino 9.97 and a Go On Touch DC97 IPS 9.7. The apps I tried are: ScreenSpecs, Screen Resolution and Screen Resolution (same name). |

14501 | How to make my phone vibrate when a text or an email is received when in vibrate mode? | Currently, when I put my phone into vibrate mode, it only vibrates for calls. It does nothing for texts or emails, however, so I don't know when I've received one. Does anyone know a way to enable vibrating when a text or an email is received? My phone is an HTC Eris rooted with Cyanogen Mod if that helps. |
38165 | Clearing Notifications/Downloads | Recently bought the Samsung Galaxy Ace and I'm having issues removing the notifications of a download that claims it is still in process, and notifications about messages that are not sent... Any idea how to remove both these things? Restarting phone hasn't help, nor has "force-Stop"-ing the downloads manager. |
38167 | Is it possible to specify multiple home pages for the default android browser? | That is, I want my browser to start with two tabs open, set to two different URLs. I have tried putting "google.com | facebook.com" into the URL but that does not seem to achieve the intended effect. |
38161 | Reduce time it takes for device to power on when pressing power button? | I recently got my Nexus 7, and I love it. There is only one thing that is bugging me: The amount of time you have to hold the power button to turn the device on. Most of time I have to hold it for around 30 seconds - this is not ideal at all, as number 1, my finger starts hurting as I am pushing it in and 2 my finger easily slips meaning I have to start again! SO, my question is this: Is there any way, without flashing a custom ROM, to reduce the amount of time I have to hold the power button to power the device on? Flashing a custom kernel **is ok**. |
38162 | How to enable selective app permissions on CyanogenMod? | One of the big reasons I installed CyanogenMod (10.1 latest Monthly) was to be able to have the ability to selectively deny apps certain permissions (most importantly the network and device ID ones). However, I am not able to find it in the settings, in spite of there being blog and forum posts from several months ago mentioning that CM will have this feature. Does anyone know if this ever made it to the main ROM? If I want to include it myself, is there a specific source tree I can merge into the CM main repo code? Thanks. |
38168 | Synchronisation of contacts and calendar suddenly stopped working | While working fine for almost a year now (since I've installed _CyanogenMod_ on my device), a couple of days ago synchronisation stopped all of a sudden: Network indicators turned white (no longer green on Gingerbread / blue on ICS and up), which indicates the device is _not_ "in-sync" with the Google servers. First I thought it might be some Google Server outage (as all of us know them), I waited a couple of days. But it didn't solve up within a few days, so I decided to take a closer look. `logcat` then showed: Always when trying to sync, the network connection timed out. Further side-effects: Google Playstore app did no longer open ("network timeout"), Google Talk insisted on a "username/password failure". That's where I got stuck: What to do? Reboot didn't help, shutdown/restart didn't help either, nor did clearing cache/data from the contactssync app. I couldn't log off GTalk (which would be the next logical step), as GTalk immediately insisted on that username/password error. Now what? |

69979 | LG Optimus Zone 2, Kitkat ADB connection problems | I have purchased an lg optimus zone 2 to develop on and I have removed all of the drivers for the phone on my windows 7 machine. I downloaded the OEM driver from LG and disconnected my network. After installing the OEM driver I connected my device to my computer ( and I have already enabled developer mode on my device and selected USB debugging), but when I run adb devices it says that no devices are connected. Clearly it is installed on my machine because it compmgmt.msc it says that it found the LG Android MTP, and on the device itself it asks me for internet connection/ mtp/ camera or just charging mode. ( I always select the MTP mode). I for the life of me can't figure out why it won't connect (I'm trying to test an app locally on the machine), maybe I should stick to iPhone development :-(. |

11369 | How To Install/Root Vegan-Tab GingerEdition on Viewsonic gTablet | I recently purchased a Viewsonic gTabet and want to root the device with the Vegan-Tab Ginger Edition. I'm an absolute newbie when it comes to Android, I've been a Windows guy my whole life. I'm looking for some instructions for "dummies" on how to get this OS installed on the tablet.

Does anyone have any detailed, step by step instructions on how to do this? Thanks for the help, looking forward to exploring this new world. |
11367 | SMS Stuck at Sending | I have a very peculiar problem on my Android [Samsung Galaxy 5(five)]. Every time I send a text message, it is stuck at 'Sending...' and can be stuck on that for days until it shows that it has failed to send the message. Sometimes I send 3 messages at a go and they end up being sent. Sometimes even this does not work. What could be the problem? What can I do to rectify? Desperate! |
11364 | Prevent my phone from showing messages in the wrong order if I reply quickly? | When I access the Messages app that came with my phone and select a person I am presented with all the SMS messages my phone has stored between me and that person, in chronological order. However, I get a message from someone and reply quickly, my message is permanently positioned _above_ the message it is a reply to, not below it, even though it was sent at a later time. What is causing this frustrating behaviour, and what can I do to ensure correct sorting order? |
11365 | Do a total wipe of my device | I have flashed my ROM several times with different ROMS, and sometimes back to stock. I flashed roms, modems, kernels etc. But the flashing never seems to totally format the device, because the folders of old software keep showing up on the phones hard drive. Is there a way to completely format my device, and install a new rom afterwards. I have a Samsung Galaxy 2s running gingerbread 2.3 If this question is already ask this can be closed and redirected. I could not find a similair question. |
11361 | Tasker if-else-if hierarchy and default setting, like Locale | I use a Google Talk status plugin (written for Locale) with Tasker, and the one thing I miss from Locale is the **priority order of situations**. That is, if I'm driving, then set status "Driving", else if I'm at work, "At work", else if [...] else "Available". (Locale does allow multiple situations to be active, but each type of action (e.g. Google Talk) will only get run once.) I'm struggling to replicate this in Tasker. The priority setting on a task seems only to affect the order in which multiple tasks are run, whereas I'd like this particular plugin to be run once per situation-change, with only one status (the one with highest priority) even if two situations are active. I also lack a place to put the default "Available" setting (exit tasks aren't really suitable). **Example: I start driving to work. Status "Driving". I get near the office. Status should still be "Driving" (highest priority). I arrive and disconnect from the car. Status should now be "At work".** ...whereas if I naively put the plugin in each situation and set exit tasks of "Available", I will instead get "At work" when I get near the office, and "Available" when I get out of the car (from the exit task of the Driving situation). I'm reluctant to go back to Locale because Tasker is more flexible for the other conditions and settings I'm using, and because it has more built-in conditions (e.g. power source mains/USB), meaning fewer Locale condition plugins need to be kept running in memory. |
19173 | Stolen phone: is changing your GMail password enough? | My Galaxy phone got stolen today. Of course I blocked my SIM card and changed my password for GMail (and went to the police) but is this enough? Could the person that stole my phone still log in to my market and download stuff? Not sure what the deal is for that and I'm really freaking out about how much this person could possibly do with my phone. Also about the payment: I never bought any apps (I only downloaded free ones). How does this payment work? Is that also blocked if your SIM card is blocked? And is there a way to delete "My Market" account? |

19174 | Improving Galaxy Nexus's audio quality | I found out about this website through androidguys.com and I'm giving it a first shot. :) I remember when I had my Fascinate which is Samsung Galaxy S, I had Voodoo Sound Control app which helped to improve the sound quality tremendously. So you can imagine my surprise that when I got my Galaxy Nexus(Verizon), the app wasn't supporting it. My question is, will we ever get Voodoo Control support? It's been awhile since the phone came out but the app didn't get updated yet. This led me to assume that it's either impossible or the developer dropped its support. If it will not get Voodoo Control, what other choices are there? I'm currently using Volume+ and have tried PowerAMP, Neutron, and PlayerPro. All these do are some EQ and volume increase. They have nothing to do with hardware level sound modification. |
60332 | Samsung Touchwizz: disable alarm control with physical button | I'm the ~~happy~~ owner of a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini Duos, and that ~~fantastic~~ phone comes with touchwizz, probably one of the most horrible android version I ever see. But I'm not here to insult Samsung, when you set an alarm and it rings if you have the misfortune to type one of those ~~insulting word~~ volume rocker button it just turn off your alarm without snoozing it. My question is then, own can I disable forever that behaviour who is to me like one the most annoying ever on this phone and probably on any touchwizz rom ( the first being the profanity checking on Samsung keyboard that can't be avoided ) If it can in fact disable any physical button control on the alarm that would be fantastic. And please do not try to tell me to install another alarm app that's not what I want. **Edit 1** : If it means modifying system file with root access I'm interested though. |

65677 | Where is the iTunes equivalent for Android? | I have searched this forum with no success for a few days, I apologize if this question has already been answered. I am a new Android user, switching from an iPhone to a Galaxy Note 3 with Ice Cream. I have tried using Samsung Kies 3 to replace the features I had with iTunes with no success. It reports complete syncs, but the information is not complete. It does not allow the user to manipulate the screens and organize apps the way iTunes allows. I am looking for software that has all the features of iTunes. I have found a few that are loaded with ads and very few features. So far, I have not found any app that allows me to manage apps in terms of updates. Google could have an app that can handle the basic needs of an Android user. I have not been able to find this. Your help is appreciated. |

I immediately removed the stock Bell firmware and put the latest snapshot available from CyanogenMod. I'm wondering if it's possible to convert apps like S Planner, S Note, S Health to CyanogenMod. Current stock android version available for i337M is 4.2.2. Latest Android version for CM is 4.4. If I install CM 4.2, can I import/install the APKs and then upgrade to 4.4? Hope you'll be able to help me :) |

60489 | how to view your accounts google play store money | I bought a nexus 7 in 2012 and it came with a $20.00 gift card. When I went to install apps from the app store, it asked me to sign into my google account. I signed into my gmail account and received the $20.00 for the play store. I purchased one or two items but I'm positive I still have a good $15.00 left. Where do I go to check how much google play store money I have left on my account? I went to wallet.google.com and it asked me to create a payment method, but I know for a fact that I still ahve a good $15.00 left on that gift card... Do the gift cards expire? |

69354 | How can i change the lock screen configuration? | My phone has spontaneously changed the configuration of the lock screen. It now has the clock on the left, and a miniaturized pattern lock to the right of that. I would like to get back to the previous configuration where the clock was at the top, and the full size pattern lock below the clock. It is impossible to drag or otherwise change the position of the widgets or pattern lock dots on the lock screen. Once unlocked, there is no interface to adjust the lock screen widgets. Galaxy S4 SGH-M919, Android 4.2.2, Touchwiz. Does anyone know how to configure this aspect of the lock screen? |
60485 | One specific IP address blocked when using WiFi, works fine on 3G | I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, I can access the IP address 109.123.110.128 using 3G absolutely fine always. However, when I switch to WiFi, every other IP address I have ever tried works, except this IP does not. This is 100% reproducible, every time I switch on the WiFi, the httpmon Server Monitoring app I have starts alerting me the server is down. All the apps on the phone, including Chrome and PING and TRACERT through terminal emulators fail also on WiFi, but work perfectly on 3G. This happens on all WiFis, not just at home. And my laptop on WiFi works fine. So, I thought it must be a firewall on the phone itself. But the phone is not rooted (and to stay within by warranty and insurance I want it to stay non rooted - although thats the only reason why). Since the phone isn't rooted, I can't view iptables, or search the file system (all of it) for a mention of this IP address. So my thoughts are that somehow the phone knows this IP address and is blocking it, or redirecting it. It could be another app I have installed historically (that has been used to SSH, or monitor the server) has used a VPN hack (or something similar) to redirect this IP - but only on WiFi. But I just don't know enough about the fiddles some apps do to get around the non-rooted phones, and know what "left overs" they may have left behind when uninstalled. I tried using TRACERT. On 3G it does exactly as you would expect. But on WiFi it stops on the first hop saying: Its IP, android-.home 3003.672, !H 3003/618, !H 3003.558, !H The last line I have no idea what it means, but if those were milliseconds it would be consistent with the delay before the results are shown. I have tried exactly the same thing on similar IPs, by adding / subtracting a few numbers from the last block. They .132 and .126 work fine. I have asked the server hosting company if the server is misconfigured, and they could not see how it could be that selective even if it was. The probability of a coincidence between me owning the server, and me owning a phone that doesn't like it is ridiculously small - therefore it must be something I have done to the phone. If anyone has an S3 that can prove it isn't the phone model - that would help a lot. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

60482 | Why is a random app being opened when I exit an app with Back button? | On my Nexus 7 G1 (4.4.2 KitKat), sometimes, when I press back button to exit an app, a random app is opened instead of Home Launcher (Nova Prime). Sometimes, this random app is opened temporarily (then, Home Launcher becomes visual). And, this random app isn't chosen from my `Recent Apps` list. Means, this happens even when the app never appeared in `Recent Apps` list before. What's going on? How to fix it? |

64101 | How can I store my Google maps (and maybe directions) offline when previewing directions? | I want to ask directions when I have a Wifi connections, then preview the route and store the maps offline for the entire route - so that when I'm underway I can just let GPS pick up my location and show me a map (and preferably the directions). I can store single maps if I'm not in directions preview, but can I do it **while I'm previewing directions**? I found these posts with many alternatives but first I'm looking for a solution in the Google Maps app itself. |

80779 | Encrypting Nexus 7 vs. screen lock | I read in this article that a non-encrypted tablet with only screen-lock on can have data read through USB. Is this really true for example for a Nexus 7 tablet? I mean - if I lock the screen you can't get anywhere, even if you restart the device. Attempts to root it, or to hack it somehow when the bootloader is locked forces a data wipe and a factory reset. So is it really possible to get to the data in a screen-locked Nexus 7 which has no SD card? The only way I can think about is that someone would somehow open the device and take the internal memory out and connected it somehow to a device which could read it. I presume that would be pretty expensive. If this really is the only way how to get to the data, it might be interesting to know, how much it may cost to do such a thing. If it is really costly, than it should be okay to just use screenlock. |

46069 | How to add/remove an individual song from device in May 2013 update Google Play Music app? | I have poked around (and prodded) the three-dots menus in the new Google Play Music UI (app version 5.x) and, for the sake of all that is free storage space, it appears to only allow managing on-device/offline tracks on a group basis, e.g. by album. Not only can I not figure out how to pin only specific, individual tracks to my Nexus 4 (without resorting to hacks like pinning a playlist and managing it that way), but I also cannot find a way to remove a single track that has pinned itself to my device without waiting for the entire album to download just so I can unpin it. Reading the official help page on offline listening was of no help, because I simply cannot find the pin icons described in the article. Am I just thick? Or did Google decide that storage space on the Nexus 4 isn't scant enough and needs to be filled with even more unwanted music tracks? |
80772 | Changing Screen Resolution VM ware using 4.4 | To play around I installed Android in VM Ware Player using this image: http://www.android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-4-4-r1 Since I have two Screens of which one is a 5:4 in portrait mode, that's the one I want to use the 5:4. To use all the screen real estate available I played around with the resolution as described here: How to change screen resolution on android rooted device? But no matter what after bootup the vertical screen size is about 22cm. e.g. 800x700 gives me 22cm. 1100x700 gives me 21cm. 500x700 gives me 23 cm. What is strange is that the horizontal screen size is not influenced at all. What am I doing wrong? The problem is that some apps I want to try out rotate the screen. If I disable rotation they are cut off at the bottom. |

80774 | How do I prevent a bluetooth headset from muting when it hears sound | I have a Plantronics M50 headset, which works wonderfully on my Android 4.0.4 Sony Xperia Ion LT28at. However, it mutes its output anytime it detects a loud enough sound. If I type during a business call the incoming signal becomes choppy, and high wind sometimes causes callers to disappear completely for seconds at a time. I have no other headset to test whether this is due to Android or the device, though I have tested with another Plantronics M50 with the same result. I assume the headset is a simple receiver/transmitter, and so assume that this is probably a setting in Android, but I don't know for sure. How do I turn this feature off? How do I cause my bluetooth speaker to continue outputting regardless of what its microphone picks up? |

52249 | How to display the on screen keyboard when Bluetooth keyboard is connected | I use a Bluetooth keyboard with a variety of Android devices. Most versions of Android (below 4.2.2) when the external keyboard is connected the on-screen keyboard is still available. When I pair the Bluetooth keyboard to a Nexus 7 running Android 4.2.2 the on screen keyboard is disabled. I cannot find a way to enable the on-screen keyboard from the tablet. Some Bluetooth keyboards include an 'eject' button which toggles the on-screen keyboard. I'm concerned about the times that I'm far enough from the Bluetooth keyboard that I can't reach it but still within Bluetooth range and I can't type on the screen. Is there a way on an Android 4.2.2 (or higher) device to enable the on-screen keyboard while a Bluetooth keyboard is connected? |
53195 | Does using an unofficial charger negatively affect overall battery lifetime of a GS4? | According to two employees at the Sprint store, using an unofficial charger for the Galaxy S4 will negatively impact the overall life of the phone's battery ( _edit:_ in other words, the battery will need to be replaced much sooner than if one always uses the official charger). I've never heard this before. Does anyone else know what they are talking about? What is special about the S4 charger? I saw someone online mention that a "special code" is transmitted over the USB connector, which the phone will use to judge if it is an official charger; again, new to me, but I'm not a hardware expert. **Update:** I still haven't figured out an answer to this. Regarding the "special code", the post I saw _may_ have been referring to the IC chip, but I don't know. So if we look at the distinguishing characteristics of a Micro USB Charger, there's 1) whether it has the IC Chip; 2) whether it is 2 amp vs. 1 amp; anything else? |
16837 | Android Market cannot be opened and cannot download any applications | When I first bought my GT-i5801, I could easily access the Android Market and there was no hassle in downloading any applications I want.

Then after it was repaired even a single application cannot be downloaded and that the android market can't even be opened. So what happened? What can I do with this matter? |

7847 | Can I disable the hardware 'Search' button? | I'm teaching my 85 year old mother to use her first phone. Her first ever bit of computing. The first use is texting and I've removed all the apps from the main screens except for the messaging app, and after a few days of casual instruction she's now texting and replying to texts very well. I've only taught her two other buttons so far: Home (she insists on calling it the 'Hut' button so if I call it the 'Hut' button she knows what I mean). Back/Undo button If she gets into something that she doesn't understand her instructions are to hit 'Hut' or 'Undo' and that will cure most things. However she still gets caught out pressing the search button which brings up 'the internet' and that's currently really confusing, too much for her to handle :-) This is a Samsung I5503T so has a physical 'Search' button on the lower right. It's right beside the undo/back button so gets hit by mistake (a lot). Is there any way to disable the physical 'Search' button or reassign it so it does nothing. I'll eventually add more apps but starting slowly (since I live in a different town so most support is by landline phone :-( |
7846 | Can Google Voice Search be configured to confirm name before calling? | When making a call using Google Voice Search, I would like my phone to ask for name confirmation.

I would like it to confirm ONLY when using voice dialing and would strongly prefer audio prompt. |

12106 | Only use pattern lock instead of swipe screen and pattern lock | On my first Android phone, the Droid (running stock Android OS), when the pattern lock was enabled, that would be the only lock screen I was presented with when turning on the screen. Now I'm using a Droid 3 and it has a "2-stage" lock screen when the pattern lock is enabled. So when I turn on the screen, I have to first swipe to unlock and then enter the pattern after that. Is there any way to go back to the original Droid experience of a single lock screen, even with the pattern lock enabled? |
12103 | Extra cables for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 | I just got this new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 from USA and I love it. However, I'm not the most organized person, and sometime I lose my cables. The GT has a special cable, which is not using the common connector. Is there a model- specific cable I have to order, or does any cable for similar Samsung Tab device will just work ? I saw third-party companies selling such cables. I don't mind paying some money for this, but this is basically essential for my tablet to recharge and exchange any large quantity of information. |
12101 | How can I free up storage on my SGS II? | I got a notification on my SGS2 today that said the phone memory is nearly full. So my question is: How can I move apps to the internal USB storage? I don't have a micro SD card in my phone. |

This might also involve the usage of the optical "trackball", e.g. selecting text by using it while pressing Shift. |
9342 | How can I shut off sync or change its frequency? | I think the term is: how do I pull not push? I don't want the phone constantly checking for FB, new email, etc. every 30 seconds.

21701 | How do I cancel a half completed email configuration? | Phone is trapped trying to encrypt my device against my wishes. On my Nexus S I was recently upgraded to 4.0.4 and decided to try adding my work email to my personal phone. This previously didn't work because Android didn't have the proper security settings. I previously did not have any other email accounts setup. Did an manual setup for an Exchange server and it prompted me to give the email app additional permissions (enforce lock screen, full device encryption etc.) I accepted and configured the lock screen as requested. The full device encryption page popped up and it informed me that once encrypted I would not be able to decrypt the device without a factory reset. I was not interested in that, but there is no cancel button on the encryption warning page. I quit to the home screen, but now the phone constantly reminds me to complete the account setup. Is there a way to cancel the account setup? What are my options? I'd prefer not to have to do a factory reset. Did Google really place the warning page in a time where it's already too late to do anything or have I missed some other way to cancel? Every time I open the email app it says that the email account requires I change my security settings. I can cancel and the app closes or accept and the encryption page appears. |
