find or write audio or vibration notification of text auto-correct/auto-complete
I think that auto-correct/auto-complete will be more useful if the user gets a non-modal indication that something changed. If no app does this, what intent or event would I listen for? (I thought I had posted this, but nothing appears under my name. My apologies if this is a duplicate)

is it possible to restore back to an earlier date on my samsung tablet 2?
My app crashed. So I uninstalled and reinstalled it thinking that the progress would still be saved on the game, but it wasn't. Is there a way of going back to an earlier date like you can do on a normal PC?

Android - shell utility to perpetually disable headset device?
I have an HTC Desire HD device that has some schmutz in the wired headset jack, and the output from 'logcat' (http://pastebin.com/cNZC8Wwc) shows it vacillating between 'Headset=true' and 'Headset=false', when there is in fact nothing present in the headset port. I/HeadsetService( 1977): Headset=false; Bluetooth=false I/HeadsetService( 1977): Selected configuration: speaker I/HeadsetService( 1977): Headset=true; Bluetooth=false I/HeadsetService( 1977): Selected configuration: headset V/WiredAccessoryManager( 1746): Headset UEVENT: {SUBSYSTEM=switch, SWITCH_STATE=0, DEVPATH=/devices/virtual/switch/h2w, SEQNUM=12164, ACTION=change, SWITCH_NAME=Headset, SWITCH_TIME=9817830244064} V/WiredAccessoryManager( 1746): newName=Headset newState=0 headsetState=0 prev headsetState=1 This makes the handset almost impossible to use for calls without workarounds. I understand that this is a common problem and that it has been addressed by more than one application in the Market store. Still, those applications I have tried have not worked correctly to eliminate this problem. I can't physically clean the port at the moment, and I would like do do this 'manually' via the shell. Isn't there a straightforward way to do this? I have tried with the activity manager and package manager search and try to get and set relevant data, but I haven't seen a way to say something like: localhost / # am kill HeadsetService localhost / # -which does not stop the flip-flopping device detection. Can I just echo something to a file like '/sys/devices/virtual/switch/h2w/state' and then use chattr to make it immutable? Is that even the right file for the wired audio headset? EDIT: This doesn't work: localhost / # chattr +i !$ chattr +i /sys/devices/virtual/switch/h2w/state chattr: reading flags on /sys/devices/virtual/switch/h2w/state: Not a typewriter localhost / #

Does Google take any of my file data on Android?
I read about syncing photos with Google on Android somewhere, and got a little concerned. It is probably just a special Google service you have to sign up for, but just in case, I want to relieve me of this concern. Does Google send my photos(files in the gallery) to their servers? I under no circumstance would like automatic syncing of picture and photo files.

It turns out that Java has a security flaw that is currently being exploited to put malware on people's computers.

Factory reset in phones that don't support SD-cards
Does factory reset on a phone without SD-card support delete the files stored in the ExternalStorageDirectory? Explanation : Say I have a device like the Galaxy S or an iPhone(I know, sacrilege) both devices don't support SD-cards(Not sure about Galaxy S, definitely about the iPhone). My question is if such a device which doesn't support SD-cards is factory reset, then do your files and media stored in this device's "External Storage Directory" which actually happens to be on the phone get deleted? My guess is no, am I right?

Tracing Android applications
I have been mucking around on my Android tablet (rk2928, Android 4.1.1) at a low level, removing and replacing ROM apps and such... aaaand now I'm getting a few applications saying "Unfortunately, <application> has stopped.", and I suspect that some apps are missing or at the wrong version. If this were happening on a desktop system then I could use `strace` or some other language-specific tool to see which part it's having trouble at, but I don't know how to do this on Android. What tools are available for tracing Android method or library calls on a device?

HTC People Widget: Changing Pictures
Is there any way to change or set the source for the pictures on the People Widget when you have linked contacts? Example: I have my wife as one of my contacts.

Can anyone recommend a good email client?
I have found that the email client which came with my device (Droid X, stock motoblur email client) is lacking in several areas. Some of my gripes are * Limited number of emails shown in the inbox and no way to change this - At any given time, no matter how many emails are in my Exchange inbox, I can only see the most recent 7. * No option for multiple signatures - with two different business email accounts and a personal email account, I want the option to have different signatures * Accessing exchange folders - Items are not shown in the folders viewed on the device even though there are items in these folders I have tried k9mail in the past, but the last few updates seem to have broken it for my device (I reinstalled twice and I still get errors when sending email and new email is not showing up in a timely manner). So are there any other options available?

How to make programs be aware of network connection provided by USB tethering

But some programs cannot find the network connection. I can ping any IP address on the Internet in ConnectBot, which means the connection doesn't have a problem. I think it's due to some options not being toggled that makes these stupid programs not being able to find the connection.

How can I make these programs use the USB connection rather than mobile network or Wi-Fi?

SMS converts to MMS after only one word

MMS not working on Cy10.2 ATT GS2 Skyrocket
Okay so I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (ATT) and I just upgraded the firmware from the the stock ICS to Cyanogenmod 10.2-20131214-SNAPSHOT- InstallerWPPQ50S-skyrocket. Ever since the upgrade I've simply been unable to send or receive MMS messages. Right now I am using the Textra app for texting although it doesn't matter if I use that because I've tried using the default messaging app too. Textra gives the following options and says that they may need changing if MMS is not working: \- Send Size Limit (I tried all these) \- Prefer WiFi (Doesn't help) \- Activate Mobile Data (Checked as it is supposed to be) \- TMobile Wifi Calling Fix (Not checked because I don't have TMobile) And it also lets you edit your APN Settings. I have no idea what I would change these to, but currently I have: MMSC - http://mmsc.cingular.com MMS Proxy - wireless.cingular.com MMS Proxy Port - 80 Does anyone know what might be stopping me from using MMS? Are the above settings wrong or is it something else within the phone? Any help is appreciated much.

USB File Transfer difficult on Cy10.2 ATT GS2 Skyrocket
Okay so I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (ATT) and I just upgraded the firmware from the the stock ICS to Cyanogenmod 10.2-20131214-SNAPSHOT- InstallerWPPQ50S-skyrocket. When I try to transfer files via USB, it doesn't just connect the way it used to, it tries to do the MTP or PTP thing. So I've tried using both of these. PTP doesn't work at all, but I didn't really expect it to since it didn't seem like what I was looking for. MTP I thought would work and it kinda does, but it's very buggy. For example I tried to transfer some music files over and it was terribly slow and it would periodically just stop working mid transfer. It was even worse when I tried to move some large pdf files over because sometimes it would crash before even finishing one (100 MB or so). I was wondering what might be causing this instability. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

HTC Wildfire S digitizer replacement
I've just replaced the digitizer of my HTC Wildfire S because the old one was broken. The thing is that since the replacement, the new digitizer has become totally unresponsive. LCD is working fine though. Just some small questions to rule things out; 1. Should I try to perform a calibration on the digitizer to make it work? I can't use the screen so I'm planning on making a Gold Card to perform calibration. (The new digitizer is totally unresponsive. Checked all connections, didn't clean them though but I guess this isn't causing the problem.) 2. Any other thoughts on what might be causing the problem? Could it be that the digitizer was already faulty at the beginning? Does this happen a lot? Bought one from Amazon.

Is it possible to list all files on SD card created by a certain application?
I would like to see which files on my SD card a certain application has written. How would I go about doing it? I don't know how writing files from an application works in Android. But maybe these are possible (in case they are, I would like to know how to do them): * If a file created by a certain application is owned by an "application user". Then listing all files created by that user would be what I'm looking for. * If the above is impossible, listing files created within a date range would be a way, as I know which date I installed the application, and that's the only date when it wrote files to the SD card.

OTA Gingerbread 2.3 update fails to install on DroidX (rooted stock Froyo 2.2.1 / unrooted back)
I was trying to install the Gingerbread (Android 2.3) OTA update available from Verizon for my Droid X. However the update ALWAYS fails to install. It downloads fine, pops up a message saying that the update ( **4.5.605.en.US** ) is about to install and needs a reboot, then reboots when I OK it. **After the reboot, it pops up "Update Status: The Software Update Failed" error box.** * * * My only possible suspicion as far as the reason is that my DroidX is rooted via z4root - I posted a separate question on how to un-root it ( Is there an easy way to un-root Android 2.2 on Droid X rooted via z4root? ) in case that suspicion is true. **UPDATE** \- I unrooted using latest z4root version.

Is there a realtime Task Activity Viewer for Android?
Is there an Android app that can show the nature of activity going on with running apps? Something like XP Task Manager. There are many times when an app just stops responding and I'm not sure whether it's still working on something, or has just gone dead. Titanium Backup has done this on a number of occasions. If I could just see a list of apps and what memory and CPU percentage each is using I'd have a better idea whether to wait or kill the app. BTW I do not like the Android Wait/Force Close dialog since it usually comes up prematurely. Thanks for your thoughts.

If I delete one of those contacts every other with the same name is also removed. I have a HTC Desire that runs Android 2.2.

Can only access 2.2GB of internal storage from Windows
Anyone have any thoughts about this: It seems to me that when the phone's internal storage is mounted using the Mass Storage mode, Windows only sees the first 2.2GB of space. If I try to format it using Windows, I only get an option to create a 2.2GB FAT32 partition. If I format using the Captivate's formatting tool, it creates a 13.03GB partition. Now the fun part: The Captivate seems to be able to read/write from the whole 13GB partition fine. However, Windows seems to be only to access the first 2GB of that 13GB partition. While I can see all the files listed, trying to read from file that were created after the first 2GB returns an error, and trying to copy additional files from windows to the internal storage once the 2GB limit is reached results in an error. Using Kies, I was able to copy files from the internal storage that were stored past the 2GB barrier. Anyone have any thoughts about this?

How to disable file extension check during incoming file transfers?
I'm running CyanogenMod 10 on my Nexus 7. As with all other Android devices, for some reason Google thought it cute to check file extensions of incoming Bluetooth file transfers and reject them if they're not one of a handful of extensions. In other words, a file called file.pem, file.xxx will not transfer via Bluetooth but file.zip or file.jpg will. Is there something I can do on my rooted device to disable this silly file extension check?

Then I recollected about old whatsapp backup file (from old phone), so i uninstalled whatsapp on my new phone, again took a backup of newly created msgstore.db.crypt7 (from new phone), rename it as msgstorenew.db.crypt7 and kept in the same database folder of new phone. 6. To get all the older whatsapp message, i have kept old backup file msgstore.db.crypt7 (from old phone) in database folder of new phone and reinstalled whatsapp again on new phone. 7. I successfully able to restore all my old whatsapp messages. 8. But now along with the old whatsapp messages, I want to restore newly created whatsapp backup file (for one month) as well which i renamed it as msgstorenew.db.crypt7 (in the same database folder), so that i can have all the messages (old+new). But i am not able to find any option for the same. Kindly help. Thanks.

How to download file using tasker?
I need to download files using tasker.(detailed post here on softwarerecs) But I am not able to understand the HTTP_GET task. I want to download different files from various links read from a file, so I tried this settings. Server:Port http:// Path %Line #this is variable that stores link Everything else was optional so I left it as it is. But I get Unknown host error. So I think I'm doing something wrong. So can you give an example of downloading a file using tasker?

Removing Gmail app for guest device in my home
I recently picked up an HTC One V phone for practically free. I want to use it as a "media device" in my home. I have it hooked up to a dock and would like to have Netflix/Pandora/Play Music (linked to my personal Google account) installed. Since I frequently have guests in my home, I do not want ANY access to my personal things. (GMail and Play Store). What is the safest way to remove access to Gmail and the Play Store (or to force password entry every time), while allowing full access to my Play Music without a password?

Modifying sensitivity of Google Nexus S power button?
I keep accidentally turning the phone off/on by pressing the power button when I pick up the phone or take it out of its holster. I would like to make the power button require a longer hold before it performs its action. Obviously this would require a different gesture to then perform a full shutdown. Is there a mod or app that anyone is aware of that can help with this? When I'm using the device during a sporting activity for example, I can't really afford to have to unlock the screen, because even without a screen lock, sliding the unlock slider is often not possible. I find it incredible with this form factor how easy it is to accidentally shut down the screen, and then you can't just turn it back on without having to perform some additional gesture on the screen.

Help to recover accidently deleted calendar data
OK so I have a lot of appointments in an outlook calendar (about 12 each day). It was synced to my Galaxy 3G. I wanted to delete all of them for one day, so deleted multiple appointments but I didn't get the option to specify whether I wanted to delete a single event or a recurring event - and as a default it deleted all recurring events (hence all of my future appointments .. lots!). I decided to sync with my outlook calendar thinking that it would replace all of the deleted appointments, however it synced in the other direction and has wiped them all from my outlook calender as well as my phone calender. Really could do with some advice how to 'undo' the delete on the phone or where else I may find the original data to recover it (I have looked at the outlook calendar and the data is not in the trash as it would be if I had deleted the data via outlook itself).

Samsung Galaxy S3 requesting network security key when tethering
My S3 (Jellybean) was suddenly no longer recognised by my PC when plugged in via USB. I solved that by debugging using _Developer Options_ as advised in another thread, which allowed the driver to be installed... again (thank you). But now if I try to use it as a hot-spot via USB tethering, I'm prompted to enter a network security key. Previously it just connected without the need for this and furthermore, I don't know where I would find such a key since I didn't set it up in the first place. Help anyone?

Can I sync my Kindle books with my Android phone?
I have just bought a Kindle and the cool thing about it is you have an email address `@kindle.com` where you can send your books and it automatically converts it to a .azw and syncs it with your Kindle. I was under the impression it would also sync the books with _all_ your devices, including the Kindle app on my Android phone (Isn't this the _whispersync_ thing?). However, it doesn't seem to do this. Is there way to also sync all my books to my phone as well as my Kindle automatically?

Can my phone act as a WiFi access point without mobile data?
I have an old (Galaxy S1-class) phone running a custom ICS ROM. It has a pay- as-you-go mobile SIM without data. I also have a bunch of kids with iPads that want to play Minecraft together. As far as I can tell, I can't get the iPad to make an ad-hoc wifi network on its own. If I had mobile data, I could turn on the Mobile Hotspot feature, connect all the iPads to the phone. I think if I did this now, though, my SIM would be charged for any stray Internet requests that are accidentally made. Is there a simple way to do this?

How do I update the Sprint PRL from Cyanogenmod?
I just flashed my Galaxy S4 with Cyanogenmod. I'd like to now update the Sprint PRL. How do I go about doing this from Cyanogenmod? Do I have to download a new copy of the default Sprint firmware to update the PRL? And, if so, what is the easiest way to do this? This is a list of Samsung S4 stock ROMs, but I am in the `SPR` or `XAS` zones? What does that even mean? Is there a shortcut to backing the entire phone up and running the ROM? Is there a way I can boot into the room without flashing the phone, just to update the PRL? Is there an easy macro for all this stuff, or can it be simply done with an Cyanogenmod hack? Currently, my Sprint phone is on `PRL version 1.`

How do I get the CID from my HTC Flyer when it does not boot anymore?
My flyer does not boot anymore (due to unsuccessful Honeycomb update try) and I want to reset it to Gingerbread using RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.23.405.3_R_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204108_signed.exe. But just executing the RUU installer does not work. I need a Goldcard. To make the Goldcard I need the CID of my device. Usually you extract the CID by this method: http://android.modaco.com/topic/305672-creating-a-goldcard/ Unfortunately the command gives me the following output: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools>adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid error: device not found My HTC Flyer is connected via USB. HTC Sync is currently not installed. It is RELOCKED and S-OFF. What can I do?

Xoom stuck during rooting process
Rooting my Xoom normaly, sometimes reboot and marked with USB debugging option. I skipped Google account login/creation process then did another reboot, but this time the device got stuck on M logo. I couldn't proceed on the Xoom and the desktop showed a message and I'm sure some steps were unfinished. Multiple times I tried Android recovery but it didn't work. Just before the Xoom got stuck it showed battery life as under 70% with some other information. How can I fix this?

Nexus 4: Lost superuser rights after an update to 4.2.1 - how can I get them back?
A couple of weeks ago, my rooted Nexus 4 was updated from 4.2 to 4.2.1. Now it still seems to be unlocked (open lock symbol while booting), but I've lost my Superuser privileges. * Is there any way I can get the SU privileges back without wiping my phone? * If not, what's the best way to backup all or most of the data before going through the SU process again? * Finally, how can I prevent this from happening again with the next update? Thanks for your help!

Is there any way to disable the camera beep when I start recording video?
I have an Xperia Ray mobile phone and I wanted to get one of those spy camera applications so as to film undetected. I tried a couple and the best so far were Ninja Cam and Hidden Mobile Camera. However, all of them have one problem: when I turn out the camera there is a beep (regardless if the sound is off or on). Is there any app that doesn't have this problem? Alternatively, is there any other way I can delete that sound? I don't really need it anyway.

Google maps wants a login now? Is there a way around this?
I've managed to get away with running my Galaxy S without every hooking it up to a Gmail account, but sometime in the last couple of weeks (I think following an OS update from Sprint) Maps started objecting that I'm not logged in. It's a little unnerving -- why do I need to be logged in to search for an address? I'd love any suggestions for getting around this. Happy to root my phone. I've got OSM installed, but it doesn't do address searches unless I'm missing something.

How do I run a Google Calendar app on B&N Nook Simple Touch?
How do I run a Google Calendar app on B&N Nook Simple Touch? I never had a Nook, but I'm interested in buying it to use as a dedicated e-ink wall calendar; I heard it can run Google Calendar; if it indeed does, then all I need is to run it once and leave it alone, given the screensaver is disabled. Making it autorun on startup would be even better. I have asked about disabling the screensaver elsewhere.

3G icon won't change with Miui themes
I recently upgraded my HTC Incredible's Miui ROM version from 11.20 to 20.21 - I flashed the zip from CWM recovery, wiped cache, and wiped dalvik cache. When it booted up the first time everything was great...but after a restart I noticed the 3G icon/indicator in the status bar had changed from the white- themed, stylized 'Miui look' to the Android stock green look. This change seems to have taken place only in the status bar, not in the notification shade. For example, here is status bar in its normal state now after the ROM update. It's showing the green stock Android 3G icon that I do not like: ![Wrong 3G icon](http://i.stack.imgur.com/k7fpO.jpg) But when I pull the shade down I see the 3G icon that I do like, the icon that was also showing in the status bar before the change (inverted in color, of course): ![Right 3G icon](http://i.stack.imgur.com/HV3iu.jpg) I tried reinstalling the ROM update (wiped both caches again) but it hasn't changed back. I also tried using Miui's theme engine to reskin the status bar to no avail. The visual discontinuity is small but annoying - how can I get the proper icon back to the status bar? I'd like to avoid a factory reset if possible. **Edit** _I've determined that the icon I'm seeing is in fact the stock 3G icon, the one that would display in a Miui ROM without any themes. What I'm looking for is the icon to change when I apply a new theme in Miui, which it is not. Just like in my pictures, though, it is only the 3G icon in the status bar, not in the status bar when the shade is drawn._

Android crashes after update unless I put another memory card
I have HTC Desire HD and installed an official update of the system: Android 2.3.5, HTC Sense 3.0, system 3.12.405.1. After the update my phone runs very slowly and reboots every 2 minutes. If I remove the memory card it runs well. If I change the memory card to another empty one then everything is also good. But I have a lot of apps and other data on that card and I don't want to format it. I looked at a log, there are a lot of mistakes like this: `W/ResourceType(13907): Failure getting entry for 0x7f0200df (t=1 e=223) in package 0 (error -2147483647)` Link to the beginning of the log (250kb): http://pastebin.com/P3zq0k5x Full log (3.3Mb, phone rebooted several times while writting this log) is here: http://file.karelia.ru/9kjwqz/ I don't understand anything in programming or Android. Can you help me? Maybe I should just remove one of the apps and problem would be solved?

Optimum video codec for low end Android phones?
While I know Android phones play mp4 the best, I wanted to know what other specification in this container is the best for playback, (the bitrate, resolution, fps etc). Or perhaps some other codec/format that Android can (or is designed to) play smoothly and with an acceptable file size/quality ratio? I searched the Android developer page and tried the H.264 setting on my converter etc, but the file fails to play natively on my handset and when I tried to open it using RockPlayer. It plays slowly and the video-audio gets out of sync progressively. I tried many external players. However, 3GP videos from my Nokia phones play smoothly (even natively). **So I want to know what is ideal for my low end phone (video should be normal quality and size)?** My phone is a Huawei IDEOS U8150 running Froyo with a 320x240 resolution and a 528 Mhz ARMv6 processor. Also if anyone has tips, what types of encoding is recommended, if I'd be using the software decoder mode in apps like RockPlayer, so I can achieve more file size compression yet achieve smooth playback?

Unable to use apps that access the Internet on wifi
I have recently had a pretty weird problem with my new LG Shine Plus which I hope you guys could help, here is what I did: When I first sign up for the phone, I purchased a one month data plan just to try things out, everything was great and I was able to use the data plan and wifi when I am at home and downloaded quite a few applications and they all worked perfectly. I cancelled a data plan since it cost quite a bit, however I am a student and there are both wireless networks on campus and in my residence room. As a result, I have turned off the Mobile Data Networks. After that, all the applications, for some reason, stopped working. When I opened up the Advanced Task Killer Free, for example, it will show You must have INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions in AndroidManifest.xml and when I tried to hit KILL selected apps, it will crash. On Bloomberg, it says android.Manifest.permissions.INTERNET permission not set in AndroidManifest.xml file before crashed, and on a whole bunch of other apps, they just crash as soon as I open it up. However, the most interesting bit is, I was still able to access the Internet on my mobile browser (tried several website that I know I did not go before just to make sure those are not cached pages) on wifi and I can access Android market on wifi as well. So I turned Mobile Data Networks back on in hope that would resolve the problem, but the same thing happened even with the Mobile Data Networks turned on and now I am unable to use any apps I installed I have verified that I have the apn set up properly in there. By the way, I have link2sd installed, but it was installed while I was using the data plan, and it worked fine then, I have also had AdBlock installed, which I have already uninstalled it and even apps without any add (dropbox) is crashing at the moment as well.

help setting up my SDK with eclipse
Alright So I downloaded the android SDK bundle for linux because I want to start making some apps, but i've ran into a couple of problems here. 1. when I tried to create an emulator through the AVD Manager, and I tried to run it, i got the following error message: Starting emulator for AVD 'AVDTEST' Failed to start emulator: Cannot run program "/home/luke/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/sdk//tools/emulator": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory If you look, you will see that there is an extra slash before the tools directory, so I'm asking if anyone knows where I can go to change that path. Also, the bundle didn't seem to come with any documentation. Am I just missing it or is it all online somewhere? UPDATE: I tried running the emulator explicitly from the command line, but, even though I can clearly see that the file is there, and I am now providing the correct path, I still get the no such file/dir error.

Create Something Like NTFS Junctions in Android 2.2
I'm wondering if you can create junction points on an Android device (v2.2) just like you can on a Windows computer. Basically, I want to move stuff from the /data folder on the internal memory to my sdcard, since my internal memory is almost full (due to Orbot) and I have plenty of space on my sdcard. I've already moved all my apps to the card, but apparently the /data files are still stored on memory. I'm using a cyanogen rooted PRS-T1 ereader (very little memory). Is there a way to create junction points (or similar) using an app or the command line so that I can move those /data files to the card without creating any issues?

Only one thumbnail for all photos
I downloaded the million moments app which basically makes a cool album from the photos you choose. The problem is in the import screen when I choose photos allthe photos just have the thumbnail of one of my photos. Now this is a headache because I can't pick the photos I like and I have yo resort to picking the whole folder. I just discovered today that even the Flickr app has this problem. Now I think I'm sure my phone is at fault, my question is how do I fix this? Even with the media rescans the thumbnails still aren't correct and just shows 1 of my photos. Quickpic and the stock gallery don't have this problem though. Any ideas what's wrong?
