56682 | Why doesn't Android report accurate Netflix data usage? | I played ~2h of Netflix on my Nexus 5, on T-Mobile's LTE network early this morning. I had switched off WiFi. After doing so, the data usage screen looks like this (scaled down):  Netflix data usage (click for larger image) Note that the phone reports 2.85GB of data used, with the top user being Netflix at 22.2MB. That's different by two orders of magnitude; and nothing else on the list comes close to making up the difference. T-Mobile gives a different number still (~1.3GB). The screen notes that may differ. But it confirms that the data did indeed go over T-Mobile. Why is Android under-reporting the data used by Netflix by two orders of magnitude? Is there some way to get accurate data usage stats (I'm rooted, so root-only solutions are OK). edit: Checking `/proc/net/xt_qtaguid/stats` shows Android is reporting on rmnet0 while reality is on clat4. Not really a solution as that file reports since boot only, not a particular time range. |
52907 | Unable to turn off auto-correction on HTC one | I just received a HTC one. I cannot turn off the autocorrect for 'Word Prediction' (under prediction preference) in the > HTC Sense Input Setting > Advanced section. The words are gray colored and the checked box does not respond. Other functions I can turn on and off. Any suggestions on how to disable this function would be appreciated. |
52904 | Battery Status Indicator Error? | Okay so I have a very interesting story to tell.... Here is what happens... I charge my phone at night, wake up in the morning, pull it off the charger, about 9-10pm it drops to about 15%, which isn't bad compared to another UN-named phone I use to use, but here is where things get interesting: It will sit at 15% for 2-3 hours without losing a single percent, so I thought why not reboot my phone, and what happened shocked me... I expected it to suddenly be at 1-5% after reboot, but it wasn't, tonight it was at 33%... yes you read it right, it went from 15% to 33% after a reboot. This isn't really a big issue, but I just wanted to know is this normal behavior, a software bug? or is my battery possessed by some weird battery demon? Anyways has anyone ever experienced this or know of any way to possibly make the indicator more accurate? Any suggestion would be helpful, oh and I have tried letting it run all the way down then charging it completely back up to 100% and this seems to have no effect... It is Android 4.1.2 |

37321 | On-demand WiFi during sleep | > **Possible Duplicate:** > Turning on Wi-Fi on demand I can only find 3 options under `Settings->Wi-Fi->Advanced->Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep`: * Always ((the default value)) * Only when plugged in * Never (increases data usage) I feel like there's missing a 4th option, "On-demand". I want it to use Wi-Fi when needed (if possible), but I don't necessarily want Wi-Fi enabled all the time. It feels like my battery life suffer when running with the "Always" option. Is there a way for Android to use Wi-Fi on-demand when it's needed during sleep? If relevant, I'm running stock Android 4.2.1 on an LG Nexus 4. |
65337 | Does QueueTube download complete videos or audio only? | There is a Queuetube app that enables listening to YouTube material while the application is minimized. YouTube app stops playing videos when minimized; this app plays sound only. Does this mean it is downloading audio only or just playing audio from a downloaded video format? This is important because I need to know how much memory my Xperia will download from YouTube. |

65338 | Show which program / task uses the camera (in background) | On my Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 with CM11, I always hear a very subtle click of the autofocus whenever the camera app is loaded. Since some weeks, I heard that sound randomly, especially after every restart and reconnect with WiFi. This somehow scares me and looks a bit like my phone is supervised. Is there a possibility on android (with / without root access) to find out which task uses the camera? |
65339 | What is this CJK app and why is it on my phone? | I was going through my apps and discovered this:  Um, what? Unfortunately, I'm not fluent in the language that the app is titled with (Chinese, I'm guessing?), so I have no idea what it is or where it came from. Any ideas? I tend to be careful with what I download (no third-party markets) so I would be surprised if it was malware, but that being said it still looks mighty suspicious to me. It's a Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.3 if that's relevant. |

75464 | Android google play no connection error | About a month ago my application updates ate all of the memory of my phone (samsung galaxy young), so I decided to uninstall, or disable and downgrade applications. I did this to google play as well. Now I need to install an application so I need google play. I enabled it, but it writes a "no connection / retry" message. * I restarted the phone many times, it did not help. * I installed the google+ application, which can log in to my account successfully, so I think there is no problem with the credentials. * One of the applications wrote me, that I have to update google play, but clicking on that link lead to the same no connection message. It has currently the version 4.1.10 (I guess I purged all the updates when I disabled it). * I cleared the data and the cache of google play. * I checked the date & time settings, they are okay. * There is no Freedom application on the phone. * There is only `127.0.0.1 localhost` in the hosts file, nothing else. * I did not travel, I live in the EU, and try to access to the service from home. * I installed the google play 4.8.20 from here, and google play services 4.4.48 from here but there is no change. I read about how to fix this error, but nothing worked for me so far, and I am sure I won't factory reset my phone... Any suggestions? |

As far as I know, the buttons are (starting from the left): * Back button * Home button * ??? * Menu button I want to know what the third one is? The one that has overlapping rectangles? My phone has capacitive and I have all the above aside from that one button. I asked this just out of curiosity. |

36567 | birthday duplicates after removing google account and adding it again | After removing my Google-Account on my HTC One S and adding it again, i recognized that all birthdays stored with contacts are in my calendar twice. When i change birthday at some contact, there is only one, which changes. The information is not from another calendar like Facebook or Google. After removing my account once and adding it, i had two birthdays for each contact, only one changes. After removing my account another time and adding it, i had three birthdays for each conatct and only one changes. So why this happens or how can i delete or avoid this? I would like the delete either automically or manually (prefering automatically) but i found no solution to do this. I made a screenshot to make it clearer.  |

63890 | Pop Ups in Browser - Possible Viruses? | Since moving to Japan, the chrome web browser on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3) has been acting strangely. Sometimes it will happen when I switch to a new article on a news mobile website, or even if I click a link on facebook. What happens is that a popup comes up that takes up the whole screen that claims my phone has a virus and I should download something to get rid of it. I'm not an idiot, so I never click those popups and close the page immediately. My question is that I'm wondering if I may already have a virus on my phone, and that's why I'm getting these pop ups all of the sudden. Is there a good way to check for viruses on phones? Thanks for your help. |
20917 | Shaky, drifting compass an inevitability on Samsung Nexus S? | I bought a Nexus S off eBay and found that the compass direction wanders even with the device laying still. Likewise, the display in Google Sky shakes around even with the resting on a stable surface, and it often doesn't align correctly with the stars. SkEye reports "Warning: Strange Magnetic field!". Calibrating using Advanced tools doesn't fix the problem. I'm running ICS 4.0.3. Doing some searching, I've found mention of other problems of the sort with the Nexus S. It's not clear whether these are just anecdotes suggesting that I have unit with a defect. Or perhaps there is a hardware or software design flaw and nothing wrong with this particular unit. Where does one look to determine if there is a pervasive problem with a given model and OS version? Anyone know specifically for Nexus S and ICS 4.0.3? |

18420 | Create a Gmail address for a Google account but use another email as the login | I want to add a Gmail address to my account (that I will not use) but I don't want that address to be my main address (i.e. my login) for Google, because I already use me@example.com everywhere. I don't have Gmail, but do have a Google account on a personal mail address (me@example.com) where I read emails from. When I got an Android phone, I tried to add my Google account, it keeps asking me to create a Gmail address. Without that account, I basically can't do anything with it. As the Gmail creation form tells me that the Gmail address will become the main address, I'd like to know if/how it's possible to set me@example.com the main address afterwards. Or, if you know a way to use my Android with my Google Account without Gmail. |

71616 | Help! Xiaomi Hongmi S1 Recovery | My Xiaomi Hongmi S1 couldn't pass the boot phase after me trying to install Xposed. Then, the software Mi Phone Manager tried to recover the system files with the phone in fastboot (in this phase I still could enter fastboot and recovery) - somewhere along this process I had to leave and, when I came back, I had an error message in the software and the phone was turned off.

30192 | Display Shuts Off During Calls | Hate to post this - however, I searched all other posts related to this and have not found a solution or the exact same problem so here it goes. Phone: Samsung Galaxy SII X Android: 4.0.4 This is so bloody annoying. During any call whether on speaker or using the phone in the traditional manner, the screen shuts off after a minute or so, even though my display is set to shut off after 5 minutes of inactivity. I have taken the following actions to no avail: * my screen protector does not cover the proximity sensor; * the proximity sensor is clean; * I have disabled proximity sensor (phone>call settings>turn on proximity sensor); * I have disabled automatic brightness (settings>display>brightness); and * set the Bluetooth visible time-out setting to "never time-out" (settings>bluetooth>settings>visible time-out) All of the above have been suggested within this and/or other forums. However, none of these solutions corrected this most annoying problem. Some have suggested that the phone is the issue - however, I suspect that there may be a software issue and that a patch or fix may be available and would hate to have to exchange phones yet again. Any and all suggestions would be most welcome. |

15614 | How do I turn off the cascade of tones that happens every time I end a call? | I have a Galaxy S phone, and every time a call ends it plays a cascading series of 4 tones. Regardless of how my phone's ringtone volume is set - e.g. even if I have it on silent mode - these tones play. It's especially annoying when I'm wearing my headset, which seals against my ear, making these tones much louder than the call was. I have to jerk my headset away from my ear unless I want to endure it, and I don't like to complain, but it's f-ing LOUD. Is there any way that I can disable this end of call sound? It doesn't matter which headset I use; this is a function of the phone itself. Can't find anything in the manual about it, either. |

78036 | Can GSM operator affect battery life? | I am using samsumg galaxy s3 mini.

37216 | Finding the true URL of a Web radio stream | (I was originally going to ask how to do this with my computer, and then I realised I can't be leaving my speakers on all night, and apparently, they can't be controlled by the computer. http://superuser.com/questions/529058/letting-my-windows-8-pc-turn-screen-and- speakers-on-off) I do have a radio alarm clock, but in my apartment, for some reason, radio waves have a lot of trouble reaching me. It's hard to get the radio to work, and even when it does work, there's a lot of noise. And sometimes stations randomly pile themselves up and sound weird. So I would like my phone to do the job. But I can't get it to work. I tried TuneIn Radio (which is the only app I found to be able to play my radio station), but for some reason, nothing happens at the time I program on it. Probably a buggy function. I also tried AlarmDroid, which would have worked fine if I were able to **get my hands on the real streaming URL of the radio station**. But I haven't. And this is where the real problem is The station I listen to is streamed on that page: http://saguenay.radionrj.ca/player.aspx However, that obviously isn't the streaming URL. To find that URL, I tried URL Snooper, as well as literally asking the radio station (who refused, probably because this would allow to skip the ads - which remains strange, because they most likely did give it to TuneIn Radio, since it plays their station fine without any issue) So! If you have some time on your hands and better technical abilities than I, and could somehow find this URL so I can try it in AlarmDroid, that would be great. Or explain me how I could get the said URL, of course. Or some other way to get that radio station to wake me up in the morning. Like another app, or a sort of schedule to force the phone to activate Wi-Fi and then launch TuneIn Radio to play the station. Or something. But mainly, I'd like to get the URL. More simple, and besides, this isn't an Android forum. Oh uhm. Automatically turning Wi-Fi on is important. But if I manage to get the URL, no issue, because the app has that built-in. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Having people speak in the morning is a great help in waking up faster. Else my brain refuses to turn on. Oh, yeah. Details about my phone, even though I doubt it's really useful: * Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread) * Samsung Galaxy Q (SGH-T589W). FYI it's (almost?) the same as the Samsung Gravity Smart. * Not rooted. I'd actually like to root it, but I was unable to. xD * * * I know this website is not really about smartphones, but I asked this here anyway because 1. I can't seem to get help elsewhere and 2. I may have put a lot of information, and may be open to an Android app suggestion or something, but mostly, the core of the problem, and the most likely solution, is to get my hands on the proper streaming URL, which isn't directly Android-related. A similar problem might be encountered on a PC, and the solution most likely doesn't require knowing anything of my phone. |

80985 | Can a carrier-sold Nexus 5 be reimaged to the default Google Nexus experience? | I'm eligible for a phone upgrade with Sprint and the Nexus 5 is one of my top choices at the moment. Normally they bundle their phones with bloatware (like their Connection Optimizer _shudder_ ) which I would like to avoid. Can a Nexus 5, purchased from Sprint, be flashed/reimaged/reset to be identical to one purchased from the Google Play store? Some caveats: * I imagine rooting the phone might be a necessary step in this process (should one exist) but I'd prefer the phone to be "unrooted" after completion. * Ideally the process should not void the warranty on the device As a side question: are the differences between a Sprint-offered Nexus 5 and one bought straight from Google Play significant enough (annoying enough?) to warrant all this effort? |

All other contacts appear to be receiving and no issues with the send process. **Ps:** I haven't blocked the contact where the issue is being reflected. If relevant, I'm using Android 4.0 (ICS) |
67406 | Apps aren't installing | I have a Huawei u8110. Since it is a low-end device, you can't do anything smoothly like running cm9. There is a cm9 rom which runs slightly better on my phone. But I can't install most of my apps. They can be installed on other roms but they are slow. When i look logcat, Package installer gives error code -19. I have searched everywhere but I didn't found an answer. I have wiped data, cache, formatted /system but nothing changed. Can changing package installer and its modules work? If it does something, what are those files? Thanks in advance. |
67407 | Battery indicator increase when not charging | Basically, two hours ago my battery level is at 8%, then an hour ago, it was at 9%. Now it's at 10%. Why is it going up even though it is not plugged in? Would I need to calibrate my battery? **Note: This is a new phone** |
67404 | Andriod device rebooting constantly | Because of processes stoped working and fixing them was taking too long with 0 rezults I tryed to reset it to factory settings but that didn't work so I also wiped the cache and media patitions and now it's in a constant rebooting state. I doesn't even load the OS just shows a logo and a loading screen with images like this one: link. How do I fix it? |
67403 | Sending a group the same message and get individual replies | First, I'm an android rookie. I'm managing a softball team. I need to be able to send 40+ phones the same message at the same time (SMS is fine), but get individual replies (each player/parent's reply should come to me but not go to the whole team). I just switched from an iPhone 4 to a Galaxy S5. iPhone app "Group Text!" was perfect - I'm having trouble finding something comparable for the S5/android. Advice? |
67400 | Making SMS sound and other notifications play in speaker with headphones inserted | I would like to be able to go to sleep with headphones plugged into my S4 so that I can listen to podcasts, but then there is the problem that I don't hear SMS messages or calls during the night, because the notification sounds are played in the headset also. What I need is that every incoming SMS message and phonecall notification are played through the speaker and not the headphones. It is not a problem if this causes the podcast or music in the headphones to stop while the notification is playing in the speaker. So is there an app or other method that fixes this? I have checked Soundabout, but it seems that it is not able to force notifications to speakers, only phonecalls. Edit: There is a related question, but that one is limited to phonecalls, and it seems that there is a difference to routing the sound for phonecalls, to other notifications. |
67401 | Whatsapp on Android | I think my ex has deleted his Whatsapp account. I can still see his last online time in Whatsapp, but the Whatsapp icon does not appear next to his name in my Android address book. Does this mean he has removed his Whatsapp and cancelled his account? |
80983 | How to configure lock screen shortcuts | How can I customize / add shortcuts of the "lock widget" in the lock screen? I mean the camera and phone icons:  I checked the settings, but I can't find any relevant option:    I am using Android 4.2.1, the stock ROM that came with my phone (THL W8S). |
67408 | Problems Connecting Asus Transformer TF101 to Mac OS X 10.92 | Please bear with me if this is an insipid question, but I am not able to connect my Asus tablet to my Mac. It has been recommended that I go and download the USB drivers for the tablet here. Seemed easy enough. WRONG! USB drivers are well supported for Windows, but not Mac or Linux (odd). There is a third party application that Asus says you need to install called Splashtop Streamer for Windows or Mac in order to move forward with the installation of the drivers. I gave that the old college try and, much to my chagrin, Splashtop Streamer does not seem to have clear instruction on how to configure their product. I left a comment on one of their pages that discussed a error "Your 6783 port is not reachable", which seemed to be adversely affecting my completion of the installation process. In summary, I am dead in the water. I can not install USB drivers in order to load my app onto my device to test. I am trying to test a Google Map App using V2 of the API. Apparently, the Eclipse and the Android Studio emulators to not render the new Google Maps API. So, i need to ship the app to a device. Must I really buy a new one? Please ponder and grant me any wisdom you might have? Also, if you think this question was useful, please give it vote. Thanks again |
35596 | Lock screen stuck in landscape mode on Galaxy Tab 10.1 | I rooted and upgraded my Galaxy Tab 10.1 to Jelly Bean 4.1.2. One mild annoyance is that the pattern lock screen is stuck in landscape mode. I can't find any option to rotate it to portrait mode. How can I stop the pattern lock screen from being always in landscape? If possible, can I force the pattern lock screen to always be in portrait mode? |
4358 | How can I access Google Docs spreadsheets in Android? | I have spreadsheets in Google Docs and I want to access them without using the browser. How can I do this? There is an application on the Android Market called "MS GDocs" which is good but it's only for documents, not for spreadsheets. |
4357 | Why does my YouTube app have performance problems and outright failures? | I have a stock Captivate on AT&T. I've tried to watch videos at least a dozen times, and maybe twice it's worked as I would like it to. Problems include: * "This video cannot be played". I saw the question about "allow mobile playback" flag, but I get it on user-created stuff too (not just commercial stuff). Is there a way to check if the flag is set, say from the desktop web interface? * 20+ second load time before playback starts, even for short videos, _if_ it works at all * Sometimes I wait over a minute and the "spinner" ("Loading video") never goes away * Once it starts playback, if the buffer runs out, I can't get it to start again. The buffer indicator might start growing again (pale red line appears again and gets bigger) but nothing I do can make it start actually playing. I hit play/pause, scan forward/backward, tap the time bar, etc; nothing happens. Some notes: * I have tried HQ and not-HQ; both have issues though HQ is worse (not surprising) * I have tried it on WiFi and 3G; 3G actually seems a little better * I can watch YouTube just fine on my laptop, etc, over the same wifi connection * I have used the wifi analyzer app (forgot the name) to inspect spectrum; there are no conflicting / overlapping networks in my area * I can download podcasts on Listen at ~10+ MB/min (estimated by my watch) so it's not something wonky with my wifi connection * I've rooted the phone but only so I could fix a corrupt wifi settings file (known issue, but I'm having trouble finding a ref link right now). I'm pretty sure the issue is not related, and I'm not running any other superuser stuff. I'm at a loss. I have no idea how to track this down -- there's no particular _error_ to look up, just general crappiness. Is it just me? Does everybody have this terrible of an experience? Would the "lag fix" do anything for me? Is there a better 3rd-party player? (someone mentioned sideloading VLC) I don't view a lot of YouTube videos generally, but when I do get a chance to look at them it'd be nice to be able to do so on my "super" phone... |
4350 | Is it possible to move the keyboard to the top of the screen? | One of the biggest advantages to the Swype keyboard is the ability to effectively type with only one hand. However this dosent work very well since the keyboard is at the bottom of the screen. Is there any way to move the keyboard to the top of the screen only when on portrait mode so that I can grip the phone with one hand and type with my thumb on the top of the screen where my thumb has more range of motion? |
4351 | Does Nexus One WiFi traffic go through Google? | When I use the default browser (what is it? Is it Chrome? Firefox? other?) to view a site (not necessarily via Google search), does any of that visit information reach Google servers? How about DNS? |
80988 | How to customise the menu on a LG G Watch | I recently received an LG G Watch. I've been playing around with it and find it a very difficult to understand device. E.g.

How to I customize the LG G Watch menu? |
79346 | Install default Mail App on my Nexus 5 | I do not see default mail App on my Nexus 5. I do have gmail though working fine. Probably I removed it earlier. How do I install it again !

79342 | remove locked by android device manager message | I have played with Android device manager and I have blocked my phone.

79340 | Low space available 16GB HTC One X CM11-02140804 Nightly | I just bought an old HTC One X of a guy I know, he had loaded CM11 on already, which is great so far but I seem to be low on available space (note, I **don't mean free space**. Thats all gone thanks to spotify offline files) Disk Use shows only 5.1GB usable. Stock would show ~10GB apparently. Any thoughts on how to recover usable space? Disk Use in Root shows the following mount points : cache 314MB data 2161MB dev 489MB (489 free) mnt asec 489MB (489 free) mnt fuse 489MB (489 free) mnt obb 489MB (489 free) sys fs cgroup 489 (489 free) system 1200MB Which totals in the region of 6GB. so between user space and system I've got 11GB of space used, which matches the statement that I should have an additional 5GB free. Is this a problem with the nightly? The last stable is CM 10.2, but I understand that CM don't do 'stable' releases anymore, I need the most recent M build. How TF do I find that out? Any other thoughts? I'm entirely noob when it comes to this stuff so I'd like some pointers before getting involved. Thanks. |

79348 | How to select specific folders to sync with Dropbox or OneDrive? | I've just bough a phone with Android, a Galaxy Note 3, and I have no experience with it, but I would like to have all my photo albums syncing to a cloud storage service. I've tried OneDrive and Dropbox, however they just sync files that are located in the main camera album, if I take a picture with an App who has a folder of its own, this picture it is not synchronized. In both OneDrive and Dropbox don't see an option to select these additional folders to sync. How can I accomplish this? |
79349 | Personal Hotspot on Three not working with my s4 | I recently noticed that I could not send picture messages to people but I could receive them. I looked online and found that resetting my apn settings to default May fix this problem. After resetting my apn settings I noticed that my personal hotspot would no longer work. Every time I enabled it and connected to it with a device my carrier (three uk) would send me a SMS message on my s4 stating that "to use your personal hotspot or 'tether', you need to buy an addon" before resetting my apn's my hotspot worked fine. I later discover that my contract had limited my bill to £33 witch was exactly my monthly bill witch stopped me from sending the picture messages. I would wondering is there was anyway to recover the hotspot and if so how would I do this. Thanks |

6426 | Recovery from fastboot | I have a Sanyo Zio that is completely non-functional but for being able to get into fastboot. Two questions: 1) I gather that the answer to this problem generally is to install a boot.img from fastboot. Is this correct? 2) Is there a place where such boot images are archived? Search as I may, I can't find such a site. |

6422 | What is hard reset and what is factory reset? | It is mentioned at XDA Developers that one should do Factory reset or hard reset. I'm a bit confused about what is hard reset?

EACH REBOOT is like a hard reset. How do I remove Rom Manager from the boot strap? Make the phone boot like it did from the factory? |
43945 | Custom keyboard shortcuts for Android | I am trying to create some custom shortcuts for often-used words/phrases using the built in dictionary, but have run into a roadblock.

42012 | Stuck mid-way through Root process (Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-1535) | Root Instructions I've been following the root instructions above. I'm at this step: Using your custom recovery flash the download you chose above from Step 1 (#3) However, I had forgotten to move the SU/Bootloader zip file to my SDCard (not a removable SD, the system SD). So I connected to my mac, used android file transfer to move the zip file to the SD card root directory (/sdcard/), and rebooted into recovery mode. Now I'm in the samsung recovery mode (3e), with the little android fella and the red triangle, (manual mode), and if I select 'external storage', obviously since I don't have any (no removable SD), I can't seem to get to the file. The first time I had rebooted into recovery I had gotten this screen: TWRP Screen But now I can't seem to get back to that screen to attempt to install the Super SU and Bootloader zip file. Help? |
