25259 | 64 digit Hex WiFi passphrase doesn't seem to get accepted | I use a 64 digit hex passphrase on my router that I want to use with Android. However Android (CyanogenMod 7) doesn't seem to accept the password (no errors, just nothing happens when I enter it). I have also tried manually entering the information into the wpa_supplicant.conf file but to no avail. What could be the problem? |
36098 | TMobile G2X as dev phone | I'm trying to use my T Mobile locked LG G2X as a dev phone while I wait for my GNex4. I can't get the phone to be found by ADB. I installed the p999 driver from LG's website. This didn't help anything. I tried adding the VID manually to `adb_usb.ini`. The VID I found in device manager was `USB\VID_17EF&PID_4807&REV_3134` so I entered the line `0x17EF` into the file. This didn't help either. How can I get the p999 working as a dev phone? Does anyone know the right VID entry for the p999? Also, when I plug the phone into my Windows 7 computer, the phone charges, but does not prompt any sort of device discovery message from windows... does this indicate some other problem? My USB ports definitely work. |
36097 | Streaming Songs as Alarms on my Nexus One to Bluetooth Speakers | I know there are several apps available that allow the user to utilize .mp3 files/songs as an alarm. So when the alarm is triggered, the selected song/playlist starts to play. I'm also aware that if one connects his/her android device to an external speaker via a 3.5mm audio jack, the audio will be sent to the speaker for output. I'd like to do this using a set of bluetooth speakers. How can I stream the audio from my NexusOne to my bluetooth speakers so the alarm song automatically plays through my speakers rather than through the output on my phone? Will the bluetooth coupling between the devices remain paired throughout the night? Is this functionality dependent on the app I'm using or on the type of bluetooth speakers (or both)? Thanks in advance for any help! Its truly appreciated! :) |
25250 | How to mount system in rw mode if no custom recovery | When I changed my build.prop for spoofing another device model, I copied build.prop from another device having gingerbrad but my system is froyo. When I rebooted, I lost my internet connection. It reports no ruim card where as it is there. I had installed apks for terminal emulator, busybox etc. but they are not working. Xplore file manager does not work. But free version of Astro File Manager and ROM Toolkit work. I tried to push old build.prop on device using adb but it gives permission denied error as it is read only system. I came to know that adb root and adb remount works if you are in recovery mode. I tried to go into recovery mode, but there is no custom recovery installed on my cheap android phone, so can not go into recovery mode. su does not work in my adb shell. Can anybody tell me the way to mount system partition in rw mode using adb ( without recovery mode ) or is there any tool which will work in this situation ? Thanks in advance. |
25253 | USB To 3.5mm Jack mircophone | I want to record live music directly from my sound board on my Samsung Galaxy.

71328 | Can't boot, can't view recovery options, winok w77, no support from manufacturer | I have a friend staying over and he has an android tablet: winok model w77 The tablet is stuck on a boot loop and I am trying to get it working again however nothing I have done so far has been of any help. If I turn the tablet on then it goes to the splash screen (of manufacturer) and it will stay there until I turn it of or the battery drains Pressing volume down + power has no effect Pressing volume up + power button shows the splash screen, then the android image with a gear on it for a fraction of a second to then go to the android dead image, no options in between nor after, pressing on anything or combination of anything has any effect, tapping on any area of the screen has no effects ADB ADB works in both while normal boot (although in a loop) and in recovery SHELL works only in normal boot SHELL in recovery says: `- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -` I am guessing previous is because partition is not mounted, adb remount says: remount failed: Success After reading a while I notice some people saying about the dalvik-cache causing problems, since I don't have any automated options like mentioned in many posts I tried by going into normal boot then adb shell rm -r /data/dalvik-cache rm failed for /data/dalvik-cache, I/O error I suppose is because it is in use? or maybe corrupted?

33113 | How to check an application's checksum or hash on Google Play? | Some free applications on Google Play are limited to the United States so the rest of the world has to use dodgy sites to get them. However the security of such sites are questionable as the apps might be modified and contain some kind of malware. Is there a way to get the SHA or MD5 hash of the apk file from the play store so it can be compared with the downloaded one to make sure that it's safe? |
33112 | How to use Generic USB Joysticks in Android via OTG? | I have a generic USB game controller (looks like a PS2 controller) and I just got my ordered USB OTG cable.

33114 | Brand New HTC Desire C Wi-Fi won't work | Just bought myself a Desire C, pretty decent as far as I've played around with it, but I have a problem with WiFi (this is pretty much the case with all my phones). I can't connect to home network by any means. The network though is totally fine because my pc (from which I type this) is connected, my laptop can connect, my other pc can connect and my old HTC Wildfire (the original one) can connect totally fine. I have searched the web for about 4 hours now to no avail. All I can do is ask here for some solution. I will try to get (in a pirate-like way somehow) the WiFi fixer programs to my phone from my pc but still this is not sure to work, so I expect some help. Now for the specs of the whole network problem: **Device:** HTC Desire C (obviously) using Android 4.0.3 (out-of-the-box) **Router:** Netgear DG834G v5 (if you want to ask anything about config, do so) **Router protection type:** WPA2 PSK (that's what my phone tells me, I will go with this) **Notes:** 1. I have an HTC Wildfire that can connect to the very same connection and a couple of Windows 7 machines that can do so as well. 2. I used to have the exact same problem with my previous device (Samsung Galaxy Ace rooted with SanGingerAce) but assumed it was the root config as a friend told me, so did not bother. Said device couls connect totally fine in any other network it has been (including the one of th university I am in), which I will try on my phone tomorrow if that makes any difference). |

75004 | Is it possible to cancel out echo when using a bluetooth handsfree? | **Equipment used:** I just bought a cheap Bluetooth handsfree from china: http://www.miniinthebox.com/mini-stereo-wireless-v3-0-headset_p1187467.html **Explanation:** This works perfect for me, and i don't notice any problems at all. The problem is that for people calling me, or i am calling hears them selves in an echo with about 1 sec lag. I cannot hear this echo at all, but for everyone i talk to with the handsfree set hears this echo. If i mute the mic, then the echo disappears. **My question is this:** Is it possible to remove echo by using any software or android setting? **I think that there should be two ways of doing this:** **1.** muting my mic while the other part talks. (nearly like an automatic walkie talkie) **2.** cancelling what is sent from the other part, and don't send the same sounds back to the other part again. |
3547 | Market App Downloads always fails/never starts | Brand new LG GT540, everything works except for the Market. Clicking on Install on any App resultings in it sitting on 'Starting download..." for several seconds then as soon as it changes to "Downloading..." it fails with 'Download was unsuccessful, please try again'. This is not a duplicate of 'Sometimes Market update get stuck downloading, how can I cancel?' which is 'sometimes' and about cancelling. The answers do not work/are not relevant. It is also not a duplicate of 'Android market - Application downloading problem' which sits at 'Starting Download...' for several hours. There are several solutions floating around on the web, but like myself, it seems to not solve it for a vast amount of people. I believe there is more than 1 bug with downloading from the market but they are getting treated like one. Firstly, there is the GTalk related issue. This is not relevant in this case. GTalk signs in correctly and works. Signing out of GTalk and back in does nothing to fix the issue. Neither does clearing the data out of the GTalk App and/or Google Apps and rebooting the phone. It is not a GoogleMail/GMail issue either as this is not in the UK and has always been a GMail account. Secondly, it is not solved by clearing the cache/data out of Checkin Service/Downloader/Market, etc. I had done this clearing/force stop on ALL the applications suggested across the web and rebooting the phone. This has been done several times with no effect. Thirdly a factory reset doesn't work either. Makes sense considering this behaviour has been straight out of the box. **EDIT** : I have also tried unmounting the SD card, removing it, rebooting the phone and trying to download with no difference. **EDIT 2** : Clearing everything and signing into the Market with a brand new account made no difference. Any other ideas on what the **cause of the issue** is and **how to fix it**? |

65408 | Disable Google docs in Dolphin Mini? | The answer to how to download PDFs leads to a link describing that Dolphin mini uses google docs for opening pdf and other documents. From a programmers perspective this is a nice solution - the content is just passed to a web-service that displays the content on the browser. But what if you do not like Google to read your pdfs at all? What if you want to download a pdf, but the links to do so is generated so you can not press longer on it to start a download instead? So as a follow up this question arises: How can I completely disable that google-docs-feature in Dolphin Mini? |

71588 | Selectively sync Picasa / Google+ Albums to device? | I have a lot of Picasa Web Albums (equivalently, Google+ Photo Albums) that are all automatically synced to my Galaxy Nexus. It works great. The problem is, the Galaxy Nexus only has 16GB of internal storage, and because I have so many albums, I'm out of space on my device. I'd like to be able to unsync some of my albums, to create more space. I don't want to unsync _all_ of my albums, just some. Is this possible? I've looked at a lot of third-party apps that deal with Picasa, but none that I can tell can selectively sync only some albums. A possibly related question, without a resolution, is: How to sync ONLY some specific Picasa albums in Gallery app? I'm hoping that something has changed in the last year and a half? |

38696 | In what version of Android was process caching first implemented? | Android can cache app processes to improve start-up times for subsequent app executions. You can see this capability on some devices by going to `Settings->Applications->Manage Applications` (or just `Settings->Apps` on others), going to the "Running" applications tab, and either pressing the `Menu` button or another button on the UI marked with the option to `Show cached processes`. Here's a list of devices I've looked at to see if this "Show cached processes" menu item is available: * HTC Hero (Android 2.1-update1) - No * HTC T-Mobile MyTouch 3G Slide (Android 2.1-update1) - No * Samsung Dart (Android 2.2) - No * HTC EVO 4G (Android 2.3.3) - Yes * HTC EVO Shift (Android 2.3.4) - Yes * HTC EVO 3D (Android 4.0.3) - Yes * Samsung Nexus S 4G (Android 4.1.1) - Yes * Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android 4.1.1) - Yes Based on these devices, it looks like process caching became visible to the user in Android 2.3. So, the question: * In what version of Android was process caching first introduced (even if its not visible to the user)? Any answers with strong evidence (e.g., Android documentation or AOSP source code references, 1st person observations of devices) are appreciated. |
38693 | Motorola Bionic and OG have bad audio jacks | Both my Motorola Bionic and OG have bad audio jacks that require significant jiggling around to get a constant connection almost every time I plug them in.

Let's try a similar name, also in my contacts: Jimmy P***** (same last name, different contact):  Screenshot: Call Jimmy (click image for larger variant) As you can see, that works as expected. I find this strange because they are both Google contacts. They both show up on `http://contacts.google.com` and they are both marked as Google contacts on my phone. Why can't I call James through Google Now, but I can call Jimmy? I am running CyanogenMod 10.0.0-d2vzw on a Samsung Galaxy S III. |

47847 | How do I better organize my contacts on Galaxy Nexus? | I remember when I was using my HTC Desire Bravo, it had this nice option to amalgamate duplicate contacts into a single profile contact. But in my Galaxy Nexus I am finding it cumbersome to do the same thing. Odd thing is these redundant contacts persist only on mobile - my Gmail doesn't have such data. I am thinking perhaps its the various other accounts I use along with Gmail such as Lync, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, etc. my contacts spans around 4000.. I've tried Contacts+ and other apps but it didn't help. How Can I better organize the contacts and sync to my Gmail account? |

5768 | Why does it take so long for a program like Mapdroid to use the GPS to track you on a map | I was in London last week ( _which is outside my country, so I did not use roaming to connect to the internet to be able to use the maps application from Google_ ). In stead , I used **Mapdroid** to find my way around the center there. Mapdroid, for those who don't know this program, lets you download maps and than use them without data connection. The only thing you need to do is turn on the GPS. This works great apart for the fact that **it can take between 5 and 10 minutes for the program to mark you location**. If it does, it can track you fine , and it keeps tracking you on the map. But I am just wondering **why it takes so long before Mapdroid knows where you are**. Is it a hardware thing (I have a Samsung Galaxy S phone running Froyo). |
5762 | Contacts stuck in favourites widget on HTC Legend | Until recently, I was able to remove contacts using this method. Now those methods don't work. I can remove a person from the favourites group, but that only removes them from the widget until I restart. When I visit the contact profile I see them listed as being in the favourites group, but when I go to edit, they are not listed as a member. Removing the contact from my "Starred on Android" group doesn't work either. Is there any other way to remove contacts? |
44440 | Widget to show calendar events and TODO items merged in a single agenda? | The Calendar application works with Google Calendar and its agenda style is really useful. Nevertheless, for some reason, it does not work with Google Tasks, so I use GTasks that works with the Google Tasks. I use both of them really intensively, but none of them can show both calendar events and todo items. Sometimes it's very inconvenient because I have to switch between widgets and merge the overall timeline in my mind. So is there any widget to show calendar events and TODO items at once? Agenda style would be a real plus. Thanks in advance. |

26797 | How can I replace stock download manager that Google Play uses? | Yesterday I upgraded my rooted LG Optimus One (P500) running v20g 2.3.3 to CM10 (unofficial) 4.1.1 through this post. Since the new ROM is unofficial and is in alpha/beta stage there are few known problems. I am able to live up with those problems just to enjoy the new Jelly Bean. However one undocumented problem about download manager was discovered yesterday, which proved to me nasty. When I attempt to install any app from Google Play Store, a progress bar appears saying "Downloading..." and the numerical progress indicator 'x/y Kb done' does not come up. At first I thought it should be problem with my WiFi, but other application seems to access Internet correctly. In concurrence to this behavior, the LEDs in my WiFi modem does not blink, which it usually does when there is a WiFi activity. Even small apps in the order of 150 Kb takes long time and eventually ends with error. However, I accidentally noticed that a combination of simultaneous downloads of more than one app, cancelling and starting again etc, made FEW of the downloads to actually progress while other still linger. So, it is clear that the download manager that Google Play Store relies on is trouble some in my case. My question is how can I replace that download manager? Installing other download manager does not help as Google Play still uses the troublesome native one only. Any ideas on how I can use some other download manager **for Google Play** or to mend the troublesome one? BTW, I had tried: Turbo Download Manager, Download Manager for Android. They do not detect the download when i press "install" button in Google Play Store for an app. Trying other download manager is still a big pain as I have to download APK from other sites and transfer to my SD card to install. |

69768 | Settings app: 'Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.' | I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Cyanogenmod 11 11-20140225-SNAPSHOT- InstallerXNPQ09P-maguro Android 4.4.2 KitKat with CWM 6.0.4.7. It's a stable installer build. For a while now I have been getting been getting a 'Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.' error, when trying to simply open Settings from the home screen or application drawer. It also happens if I try to run the app (`com.android.settings`) in other ways such as opening a third-party keyboard's settings (which tries to open 'Language & input' within the Settings app). I have tried the following things, to no avail: * Wipe Dalvik cache in CWM * 'wipe cache partition' in CWM * Fix permissions using the 'ROM manager' app * Did 'Clear data' for the Settings app (by dragging it to 'App info' on home screen) * Installed AROMA Filemanager in CWM, and, not finding anything to delete in `/data/data/com.android.settings/cache/`, but deleting `/data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs/CMStats.xml` * Botting into safe mode, where Settings app STILL crashes. I will note that the Settings app still sits in the multitasking list, but when you try to open it from there it still gives the same crash error. I'd like to try and avoid a factory reset if possible, so are there any steps I could try further before an entire factory reset? Could it be having selected ART mode that eventually mucked up Settings somehow? If so perhaps I could turn it off manually via Terminal/adb and then reset Dalvik again or something? Whatever it is, what troubleshooting steps could be done in addition to the ones above? |

69762 | Do a Google voice search with Belkin CarAudio Connect Bluetooth on a Sony Xperia | I have a non-rooted Sony Xperia running Android 4.3 and I have recently have bought a Belkin CarAudio Connect AUX with Bluetooth. It connects fine and it all works however it left me wanting more. Currently pressing the button on the CarAudio Connect pauses and plays the audio, a feature that I wish to keep. However, I was hoping that a double tab or a long press can do a Google voice search so I can call or text people (or find out important information like the height of the Eiffel Tower) while driving. How would I set this up? I have tried 'Bluetooth Launch' from the Play store but it didn't do anything and I couldn't find any similar apps. I was thinking a Tasker task or a similar app but I don't know how to set it up or what action to look for. Please help. |
15236 | Motorola Triumph changes Volume between Songs or with Notifications | I have a VirginMobile Motorola Triumph, stock but rooted. I listen to music with both Pandora and Google's Play Music app. When listening to music, the volume has two modes, 'soft', in which all the way down is too quiet and all the way up is too loud, exactly as it should be. The other setting is loud - just loud. The first click of 'loud' is enough to hurt my ears. I can change the volume from 'loud' to 'soft' by playing with the Ring or Alarm volumes (not Media). They don't have to change, but they have to be altered briefly to 'reset' it back to 'soft'. Furthurmore, if I receive a notification, text, call, or any other sort of message, the volume becomes 'soft' again. While listening on 'soft', if the song finishes and naturally continues to the next, the volume will jump to 'loud'. There are other occasions where it does this as well, but I haven't figured out exactly what they are. * * * [ORIGINAL]: I have a stock rooted Motorola Triumph (which does not have MotoBlur) with Pandora installed. Media volume is pretty loud, so I keep it on the first click, always (I also have Audio Manager installed, but this problem was happening prior to installation). However, when Pandora goes to the next song (either because I skipped, down- thumbed, or just finished the song), the volume gets really loud. It doubles in volume, if not more! The weirdest part though is that none of the volume sliders (anywhere!) have changed. Not one. Furthermore, altering the Media volume (still on 1st click), has no effect other than to make it even louder. However, if I alter (or even touch) the Ringer or Notification volumes, the song volume drops to where it was. I'm tired of changing my volume between every song. I'm willing to talk to whomever (Motorola, Pandora, Google, etc) in pursuit of a fix. How can I address this? |

However, my phone recently developed a problem that I had not anticipated. The phone now just switches off on its own. Sometimes it can do so up to 5 times a day. One moment the phone will be working and you go on with whatever you will be doing and before you know it the phone is off. The phone cannot be restarted using the normal on and off button. I actually have to remove the battery and put it back for the phone to restart again. Anyone with a clue? |

12630 | Where are apps natively stored on a Nook running CM7 off a micro SD | I have a Nook running cm7 off a class 2 4gb sandisk. I've installed a couple of Apps on my device. I've noticed, after going to managing apps, that some apps are actually being installed internally and some apps being installed onto the SD card. I am planning to upgrade to a class 4 16gb sandisk, and I want to completely start fresh, how do I remove pre-existing apps internally? I'm slightly confused. Thanks. edit: Actually, so I guess verygreens method splits the SD card into 2. The first "internal (1gb)", second being the "rest of the sd ( total sd - 1gb)". So..to my understanding, apps defaults to installing "internally" or the first partition, how can I make it so it defaults to the larger partition? Or do I need to manually move it after each install of a new application? |

21031 | Disabling safe mode or removing apps from safe mode | I use a Droid 3 which has not yet been rooted. I need to remove access to the Browser or the Play Store. I already have an app called "program encrypting" which disables access to selected apps unless the user has a password. However, when the user enters safe mode, all downloaded apps are disabled, allowing the user to use the Browser and the Play Store. I am curious if it is possible to disable safe mode in some way, or changing the button combination to enable it. I would also be fine with removing those applications from appearing in safe mode. I am new to rooting and such, and I would appreciate being able to remove access to these apps in the safest, quickest way possible. |

63585 | How to restore/edit build.prop after rebooting (and phone stuck in reboot loop)? | I was trying to setup a custom host name for my device(a rooted xperia z) following this guide but without paying too much attention, especially to the comments. I'm guessing I had a typo in the edited build.prop file because after I rebooted the phone was stuck in a boot loop: I would see the sony logo but instead of the usual xperia logo and colourful boot animation the phone would restart. I can turn off the phone and I think I've managed to get it in a different state by pressing the volume up key multiple times after powering up because I could see a blue led always on. Before that in between boots I would see a red led blink twice. Unfortunately the phone reboots to fast to become visible to adb. What are my options on restoring/editing the build.prop file ? Can I somehow see the phone's filesystem on a computer without booting the phone into android ? Also I don't mind loosing all the data as long as I can use the phone again. Thanks |
12188 | Why aren't there notifications for updates to built-in applications? | On July 29th, Google released an update for the Gmail application, that brought it to version 2.3.5. Since I had version 2.3.4, I was expecting to be notified of the update shortly as I had for updates to other applications including ones that came pre-installed on my phone, such as Google Maps. Alas, I still haven't received the notification, even though I can see the update available in the market (yes, I realise I can download it manually). I have since surmised (though this is a guess on my part) that the difference is that gmail is considered a "built-in" app, but Google Maps, while pre- installed on my device, is not considered built-in. Is this right? If it is, why are built-in apps treated this way? Is there a technical reason, or are they somehow considered more sacrosanct, because of their status n the platform? Update: Apparently, the SDK doesn't list Google Maps as built in, but it does list the "email" app. Furthermore, Google Maps is listed as a "Downloaded App" but Gmail isn't. |
12187 | Unable to move apps to SD card after Gingerbread upgrade | I upgraded my HTC Desire to Gingerbread via the official update yesterday. It wipes all settings, so I've been working through re-installing all the apps that I previously had on the phone. They all install fine and some move to the SD card fine too, but some just say "unable to move to SD card" when I select them. I suspect it's because they were on the SD card before and it's getting an error when trying to overwrite the existing files/directory. Where do these get stored and how can I work around this? |
12185 | SIM settings icon always on notification bar | I bought an imported HTC Desire about 6 months ago and put my New Zealand Vodafone SIM in it. When I start up the phone, there's nothing in the noticication bar as you'd expect. Then, after a call is made or data connection initiates, an icon appears that looks like a SIM card with a cog next to it. I assume it's something to do with SIM settings. When I drag the notification bar down and click on it, nothing happens. It's not a big deal, but I'd like to get rid of it if I can! Don't know if it matters, but since I upgraded to Gingerbread, most of the icons in the notification bar are grey rather than white, but this one has remained white. The phone is running the official HTC Desire Gingerbread upgrade - Android 2.3.3. Update: Photos of the icon:   |

The only difference in the downloads is that the ZKBTMK doesn't have any manuals or instructions. Apart from that, all the files are dated the same across all 5 versions.

81204 | Unicode input from a Bluetooth/external keyboard? | Is there a way that I can do Unicode character input on an external keyboard on Android 4.4? For example, on Linux, you hold Ctrl+Shift+U and then start inputting the code point. On Windows and OSX, there's a similar way to do it using a keyboard shortcut. Is there any way to insert a specific code-point into a text field in Android? (ie: how do I insert U+2022 using an external keyboard on Android?) |
81207 | Show boot log at boot instead of boot animation? | I have a Nexus 5 running CyanogenMod 11. Normally, my boot animation looks like this:  Instead of this, I'd like to have something that simply shows me the contents of `dmesg`, or something else that usefully updates me on the status of what's being loaded and how far along things are. I'm wondering if there isn't something simpler available. Is there a "developer" boot animation that might report this info? Failing that, what's the best way to get a standard dmesg output or something similar as my boot "animation"? * * * **Note:** I've already looked at Chainfire's **live logcat** , but it's over two years old. Setting it as my boot animation just glitches my screen and soft-bricks my device, necessitating a reflash. So while that would have been an ideal solution if it worked, it looks like that might be the wrong avenue to pursue. |

43431 | Android and DEX files handling at runtime | I'm trying to understand a few things around how dex files are handled by android. What I do know is that an APK ships a dex file, the system gets it, optimises it at install time, and stores the resulting ODEX file (optimised dex) at /data/dalvik-cache/myOdexfile and then runs the application from there. Is that really how it works? What happens when a dex file downloads and opens a new dex file from the internet? is that optimised as well? Also - the system, afaik, keeps the original APK around, right? I think that is kept at /data/app/myAPK-1.apk. Is that used in any way by the system? When? Can you somehow manually force regeneration of the odex file from the stored APK file after installation? |

The Settings app on the Honeycomb Xoom has a Dock category with two options "Dock Application" and "Dock Insertion Sound", I can't find any similar options on the Galaxy Nexus. Is there any (preferably built-in) way to get similar functionality with an (unrooted) Galaxy Nexus using the official Samsung dock? |

The problem now is that the bar at the top doesn't drag down. I fear that it's a hardware issue (is there some way to disable/enable it from the software side?) Having said that, how can I now mount the storage to transfer files onto my computer? I have several (100ish) 1.5MB images I need to copy over. I have a Samsung i7500g running Android 1.6. I wrote my own app, which can trap events on the top bar part of the screen; it seems that it's only the home page bar that doesn't allow me to drag it down. Is there some setting I'm missing? **Edit:** Even stranger, sometimes, the pull bar works perfectly. |
