44924 | How to control additional tethering settings on android phones? | I want to use my phone and data plan as a temporary solution for providing Internet for my whole home network. I have plugged it into my OpenWRT router via USB and it's network device _usb0_ is so far member of the bridge br0 so that all my network can use it. All is working fine except for one thing: The phone now acts as DHCP Server and the subnet (192.168.42.0) is _not controllable and different to the previous subnet_ in my home network (192.168.2.0). I have a few fixed IPs that I don't want to change. It would be great if I can change the phone's tethering subnet to be 192.168.2.*. Is this possible? |
44922 | How to connect facebook contacts with third party app like rocket dialer, go dialer etc. in android 4.2.2? | I can get facebook contacts connected with the original android 4.2.2 contacts, but the connection with third party apps is not working. There seems to be some kind of updates coming with android 4.0 that has caused problems for many dialer apps...does anyone got any solution for this? The original contact app and dialer in my new samsung Galaxy S4 are not what I want...but the problems lies now with the contact photos which are not visible in the apps I'm using. |
7444 | If I try a new email client like K9-mail, can I go back to my original email just by uninstalling it? | Before I try something I cannot easily reverse ( _and to confirm something I think I already know the answer for_ ): if I install **another email client** ( like K9-mail ) on my _Samsung phone_ of even more on my _Archos 101 tablet_ , **can I revert back to the email client I already have just be uninstalling** the new email client ? Will I get a choice of email clients ( like you have now when you install Opera or Firefox ) ? |

61524 | Would it be possible to sandbox apps with SELinux? | Many apps require too much permissions that they do not need to function Most apps needs internet connection to talk to some API (let's say updates checking or notifications ..etc) and need to access SD Card (for buffering/caching). But if we grant them this they can take all of my data. It would be great if the OS is structured in a way so that we can grant apps access only to specific directories that only belong to it (think of browser cache, youtube buffer ...) and when the user promptly and consciously want to pass files (eg. upload file throw a web browser) they get staged/promoted/linked to that area accessible by the app. till that happens, we have SELinux in many android phones can we use it to sandbox apps (the idea is there since 2009 see http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/28545.html) here is the question: can we define a policy that says (if yes how) * those apps are not allowed to access my gallery directory (DCIM) * those apps are allowed to access my gallery but are not allowed to use network connection in desktop Linux it was successfully applied (here it was applied on firefox http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/31146.html) |

65076 | My phone keeps converting sms to mms even when messages are under 20 characters? | I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note and having enough trouble with the texts to just throw it in the trash and never buy samsung again. I never even start typing and it says "converting to mms" the moment I open messaging and pick a contact. I've already turned creation mode to restricted and it did nothing. No one gets my mms messages either. It's like I never even sent anything. This is really annoying. How do I make it stop? |
65070 | Attempts to bring up Settings results in a Crash | My device is a Galaxy Tab 7". I previously rooted it, and installed Avast Mobile Security and Anti Theft on it. I gave it to a friend to use for a while and now, whenever I try to open Settings, it immediately crashes. And so I am investigating what is going on. It seems Someone seems to have attempted to remove Avast improperly. The previous Avast mobile security app is gone, but the hidden app for (stealth) anti theft is still there. If i try to remove anti-theft, it asks for USB debugging to be enabled. If I try to do that, the running app crashes (same as before). Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this? Am assuming the issue is related to Avast anti-theft but unsure but its the best idea so far. |
13992 | How can I record touches? | Is there an existing app I can install that will record my touch interactions in the background? I just saw this and it made me want to play around with my touch data to see what it looked like. Didn't turn up any likely candidates here or in the Market. Google seemed to indicate that it is certainly doable if you write your own foreground app (which I have no interest in doing because I want to record my touches in the entire system), and that it _might_ be possible using a custom-developed background app, which might be a fun project but I'd rather install an existing app if possible. |
13991 | How can I get a busy tone when dialing a number which is actually busy | I usually dial a number and then put the phone in my pocket (using a headset). That doesn't work very well when the destination is busy since I never get a busy tone. I just get a "number is busy" message or something like that in the display for a couple of seconds. Is it possible to get a busy tone instead? |

15760 | Is there an easy way to un-root Android 2.2 on Droid X rooted via z4root? | Is there an easy way to un-root Android 2.2 on Droid X rooted via z4root? The reason is that I would like to apply a Gingerbread 2.3 update from Verizon, and that update ALWAYS fails to install. Since I never had a custom ROM on the phone, my first guess is that the problem may be due to being rooted, but I don't see an "Unroot" option in z4root. Please note that factory reset is NOT an answer I'm looking for. |
29460 | Would Apple EarPods work on my Android phone? | Apple just launched the iPhone 5; together with that they landed new earphones they call 'EarPods'. I have an HTC Desire HD Android-based phone. It has a 3,5mm jack just as the iPhone. Would the earphones and microphone of the EarPods work on my phone as well? Having good quality earbuds that stick in my ear sounds attractive to me. I do not care about the controls per se, and I'm pretty sure the sound will also work, but I'm not sure about the microphone. Also, how much of the improved sound and noise reduction is implemented in the software? |
81514 | How to send one contact address as OSMAnd destination? | My contacts all ahve their address set, and I would like to be able to navigate to their addresses using OSMAnd.

81515 | Safe way to backup whatsapp messages? | I recently had to reset my phone. I had the nightly msgstore.db.crypt7 file, which I fortunately decrypted (and can view in sqlite browser), but whatsapp refuses to restore from it. Maybe it is because the file is too big (10.2MB), or maybe there's a small corruption somewhere, I don't know. When looking for backup apps, all I found were those that will take the msgstore.db and upload it. SMS backup+ will break it to individual messages, but then can't restore. So is there a method/app that can upload the conversation in some corruption- safe way (so that if a small portion gets corrupted, the rest is still usable)? So that it is done automatically (nightly)? |

I am going to refund them later, after they are done using the app. **How many days from purchase are valid for issuing a refund?** I can't find this answer online. I see some other purchases made >30 days ago that are refundable, but I don't know if I can wait 60 days? 90 days? 120?

16011 | After updating to Android 2.3, the radio keeps running in the background | I have an LG Optimus One and today I updated the firmware to the latest version. I didn't know that with the firmware LG would also update Android. Anyway, I finished the update and went at Phone Information menu. There I saw that the Android version changed from 2.2 to 2.3.3 First I was happy to see that. I've been waiting a long time for this update. But then I started to notice some strange things. For example the Radio is always running in the background. I tried with many different ways to close it, but nothing worked. I used Adsvanced Task Killer and other apps and also tried to Force shut down. But as I said, it keeps running. Anybody has the same problem? Is there any solution? Also, although it says I have Android 2.3 the graphics are not the same. The main screen is not like this: http://developer.android.com/sdk/images/2.3/home-plain.png (Only the browser icon changed) |
16013 | SD card directory is "split" on new phone | I moved from a Samsung Mesmerize (Galaxy S, Android 2.2) to a Motorola Electrify (Android 2.3) and the Electrify is reading my SD card differently. My old data is now stored in `/mnt/sdcard-ext` instead of `/mnt/sdcard/`. All my phone's old data (which I want to keep) is in that directory. Why did my SD card path change and what should I do to "merge" the two? |
16012 | How does Android chooses among multiple access points? | I have been doing a lot of research on this. Unfortunately I was not able to find how, by default, Android chooses among multiple access points. For instance, if a user walks into a mall and there are 3 hotspots within range, how does the device select which access point to connect to? -Does the device select the AP based in the order in which they are in the Wi-Fi stack? -Does the device select the AP based on signal strength only? -Does the device select the AP randomly? Also, as the user physically moves from the coverage of AP A to the coverage of AP B: -Does the device stay connected with AP A until it is out of range? -Does the device transition from AP A to AP B somewhere along the way (sort of like a soft handoff)? Thank you in advance. |

16019 | How to transfer text messages from iPhone to Android with iOS 5? | I'm trying to switch from an iPhone 3GS to a Galaxy SII and got multiple questions. This one concerns migrating the text messages (SMS). I've found quite some articles, basically they fall into two categories: 1. Getting the text message SQLite database from the Itunes backup and exporting stuff manually to CSV files. 2. Importing the SQLite database directly with tools. Most pages link to this article Problem: Apparently, this only works in IOS < 5.0 or Itunes < 10, don't know. With newer backups, the SQLite database can not be opened anymore, the Android tools mentioned do not work anymore. So I'm looking for any other suggestions on how to correctly migrate the text messages to Android. Note: I'm aware that maybe this is more a iPhone question than Android. Nevertheless, I hope to find someone here who faced the same problems. This is exactly the reason why I'm migrating in the first place. |

60240 | Repair a failed root galaxy ace | So here is my problem. I've been formatting my Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5839i) and it worked pretty much, but then i got mad and tried to root it, which i failed, and now my phone won't turn on anymore, it just stays on the start menu (The one where Samsung GALAXY Ace is printed) and it never goes any further. I can access the recovery menu, but each time i tried to just wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache partition, it didn't help, so right now i'm stuck with a non working phone, which is not really funny ! Just so you know, before my phone stopped being useful, i tried to install some "ClockWorkMod", and i guess i didn't follow the steps as i should've. So i'd like to know if anyone can offer a solution ? I can still put files on the SD card, i just don't know how to go back to the gingerbread version i had before. Thanks in advance ! (And sorry if i made any english mistake in my explanations) EDIT : I kept searching and i found a guide about ODIN and flashing the phone, and it worked very well ! My phone is now working like it never died ! You can find the guide i followed right here (The guide is in french, but if you look for flashing a phone with Odin, i think you can find a guide in english) |

19594 | Can I reverse tether my Android device to my phone using Bluetooth PAN or DUN? | I have a Sony Ericsson K800i phone that supports both bluetooth PAN and DUN. Is there any way to share my phone's internet to my tablet (cheap achinese Aishuo A820 with Android 2.3.1, rooted). For now I don't care if the method requires root because the tablet **is** rooted, but if it's possible to do it without root would be great. I've looked at Reverse tether on Android via Bluetooth PAN? but it only appears to cover PAN (not DUN) and asks about tethering a phone with a PC. Since I'd like to tether two mobile devices I'm guessing that there will be fewer software options available to me. I'm ok with writing shell scripts and I have some Linux experience, but not with bluetooth. |

80674 | Android update fails | Android 4.2.2 update fails on my Alcatel One Touch Idol S . The hardware is hardly the issue since it worked smoothly on my wife's phone which is exactly the same model. Specifically, Android installed version is 4.2.2/01001 . The update has the exactly same version number (but there are real differences after the update on my wife's phone, new features). I did nothing specific before attempting to upgrade besides installing applications, the phone is not rooted. I can download the update.

I have revisited this thread every time I had to install Android SDK. The trick that the author uses is to simply replace the hardware IDs in the INF file to those that actually correspond to the actual hardware device that's being connected. If I am not mistaken I had the same ID as the author describes in the thread, that is `USB\VID_0bb4&Pid_0c94`. But now when I check it I have a different one.  I recently flashed the phone. But I used the RUU original image, with the same build number as the one that was already on the phone. The RUU was the HTC original ROM Update Utility that was used to flash it. I had to do this to enable the use of Unrevoked to root and then Alpha Rev to set S-OFF. Could it be that, in some way, this changed the hardware ID? I thought hardware IDs were supposed to be permanent and fixed to the hardware?... Using the second driver, with unedited INF file, and trying to update the ADB device in Device Manager, this is what it says.   It just simply fails to install it, because the IDs don't match. Now, these are the lines that I used in the edited version of the INF file. These now include the actual IDs of my phone. [Google.NTx86] %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C87&MI_01 [Google.NTamd64] %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C87&MI_01 [Strings] %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C87&REV_0226 %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C87 %SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C87 So now when I try to update the driver again I get to the warning message, you know the usual Windows warning about installing software of unknown source.  So I click to install it anyway.  And it tries to install it but then halts and says that installation failed and something about ADB Composite. So why does it fail to install? And why was my hardware ID changed in the first place? Is there no "normal" way of installing this stupid driver? You know, without having to hack the damn thing or play tricks with it?... I know that some users suggest that one should obtain the latest sync software from the manufacturer because with that also come some USB drivers that are necessary to have. But I don't want any of the HTC bloatware. And I don't have any problems transferring files between the phone and the computer when in "Disk drive" mode. So I don't need anything else. And isn't this the driver for using the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) which is part of Android SDK? I mean shouldn't Google be the one that provides a working driver then?... Just for the record, the phone in question is HTC Desire, the original one. You know, the first one, not any of its' many siblings that followed. Please have a look at this, and let me know what you think this could be. And also let me know if you know of any alternative ways of doing this, just for future use. I am sick and tiered of having to this every single time I want to install the Android SDK. I normally only do that when I need to reinstall Windows, but once installed and set up I usually don't touch it, but I do reinstall Windows at least two times a year. |

42143 | How to revert Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 to stock Gingerbread? | Here's the situation: I got this Samsung Galaxy Mini as a gift - my first smartphone - but with this obscured operating system called [DEV][WIP][ROM][UNOFFICIAL] Android 4.2.2 CM10.1 - Nightly 20130310. It doesn't do even some basic things, not the best way to be introduced to smartphones, right? But what can I do? So as my first interaction with smartphones now supposed to hack a usable operating system on it as well. Let's do it. My obvious choice was to go with the latest official CyanogenMod for the system: you can read my efforts into that here: Adb Push doesn't push MyROM.zip /sdcard/ though it says it copied the file (Samsung Galaxy Mini) (So far no answers yet.) My guess at this point is things could work out better if I could first revert the phone back to the official ROM. My first try was to plug it into Samsung's KIES software - but obviously it doesn't recognize the now totally hacked phone. The XDA Forum is way too overwhelming for me to go for this - as my first venture into smartphones -, could you point me to a no-nonsense, step- by-step guide how can I revert back the phone to official Gingerbread from here? |

42146 | Nexus 10 won't boot after attempted unlock/root | I have a brand new Nexus 10 which is supposed to be a present for my partner for tomorrow. I wanted to have it rooted and set up for her before I gave it to her, so I installed WugFresh NRT on my work computer (WinXP x32) and went through the same unlock/root/flash procedure I've been through a million times with all my phones/tablets. After unlocking, it went into TWRP and I was told by NRT that I should do a factory reset manually from TWRP - a step I've never had to do before. I followed the instructions, but the factory reset failed. I rebooted the Nexus 10 and it just sits at the colourful 'X' forever. I can hold the power button to try again, but I can never get past this. No problem, I'll just flash CM from TWRP, right? Well, I can get into fastboot from power + vol-, but fastboot is frozen. It doesn't matter if it's connected to my PC or not, I have "start" selected, and I cannot select anything else. Fastboot.exe won't detect the tablet, and there's pretty much nothing I can do. I can press power to select "start" from the fastboot menu and it begins booting normally, and freezes as before. So basically I'm stuck here. I know how to push across a recovery and re-flash the system, but I can't actually get to that stage. I'm not sure if it's a driver issue - my experience tells me it probably is. I've tried 2 different cables and all the USB ports. I can try on my home computer that has the drivers all installed, tested, and working - but I won't be home for another 12 hours or so. I actually can't even turn off the device! I've tried the naked drivers, the google drivers, the Samsung drivers, I can't install the PDANet drivers because it wants me to install the ADB drivers first - but I can't do that because the device won't boot!. This XP machine is now a cocktail of drivers that don't work. I do actually have an "unknown device" associated with the tablet, but I have NFI what it is or what driver to install. I've tried them all, and windows just keeps saying that the driver location I've chosen doesn't have any appropriate drivers for this device. Any suggestions? Edit: Hmm, I've managed to get my hands on a Win8 laptop and got the drivers working so that Fastboot and ADB recognise my Nexus 4 phone. When I plug the Nexus 10, it doesn't show up in Fastboot devices. |

53570 | Switching to Android, how do I handle music? | My wife and I are planning on switching from apple phones to the Note III when it comes out later in the month. I was preparing to switch my music collection from itunes based to google play by uploading and organizing everything to the google play web app. However, I ran into a couple of issues. * I have a computer that plays background music during the day, regardless of if we are home or not. Up to now I have been playing it through itunes, however since I have been pulling the google play web app during day, I have noticed that if I play music from work, that I come home and the music has stopped playing because you can only stream music from one device at one. I would like to have this music playing at all times. * I assume, since my wife and I share the same music collection that we will both sign in to google play using the same google ID. However, if only one device can stream at a time, what happens when I am listening at work and she is wanting to listen at work. Will it kill one of the streams? Has anyone else run into this? Is there another way to manager music on the Android platform? |
29345 | How can I tell CWM to perform a full backup instead of an incremental backup? | A recent update to CWM touted the ability to perform incremental backups instead of full ones. Having performed those for a while, I find that I have quite a few old backups that I don't know if I can remove, since newer backups may depend on them. Last time I was in this situation I deleted all of the backups and made one full clean backup. That, however, carries the risk of some failure before the new backup is complete. Is there any way to tell CWM to perform a full backup, so that I can safely remove all of the old ones? |

53577 | How CF-Autoroot works? | How CF-autoroot Theoretically is able to root android devices ? I'm wondering on what technics it use to run su ? Do it use a custom/patched Linux kernel ? or it is based on local root exploit ? I didn't find CF-Autoroot source code, so i assumed that is a closed-source project. |

63269 | How can I stop SD card from constantly unmounting? | I had problems with constant unmounting of my SD card from phone when it was not on charger. The problem was with powering off some power when disabling display to save energy, but this power was needed to keep SD card mounted. My phone is LG Optimus L1 II E410, but from what I found during my long search for solution, it is not only phone affected. How can I stop this from happening? |
21416 | Battery life depends on type of charger | When I charge my HTC Sensation mobile with the charger supplied by HTC the battery duration is more or less 1 day (depending of the usage). But (here comes my question) when I charge the mobile through usb connected to the PC, or with the cable supplied by Amazon Kindle, the battery duration is much lower, sometimes a couple of hours. Could someone explain which is the electrical reason of this behaviour? Thanks in advance |
78461 | Magnify (zoom) part of image application | I'd like to edit an image to add a "magnifying glass" ring with a magnified region inside, like in the screenshot below. The standard Gallery editing tools can't do that, and I've tried a few other apps with the same result. Is there any way to add this effect (zoom certain part of image) using any kind of Android app?  |
63260 | Is RFID reader with anti-collision feature for Android available? | I'm developing RFID-based system where I plan to use Samsung Galaxy S II plus to connect the RFID reader to it, so it can be as a portable reader. What I'm searching for, is RFID reader, supports Android 4.1, with anti- collision feature, so it can read multiple tags at the same time, also which can cover more than 5 cm. in reading, but what I found after a long time of searching is for reading just one card/tag. So, is what I'm looking for available ? Any answer or suggestion is highly appreciated. |

62791 | Better way to deal with "Only part of the message has been downloaded" mail warning? | I'm using the stock e-mail app on Android 4.3. This morning, when I tried to forward an e-mail to another person, I got a warning that popped up which read: Only part of the message has been downloaded. If you continue, the rest of the original message may be lost. I get the same warning if I try to reply to the message. I tried pressing the "sync" icon above the message. I tried waiting a while for the message to finish downloading. I still got the warning. I finally resolved the issue by scrolling all the way to the bottom of the message, but this is a rather bothersome solution, requiring time and lots of finger flicks. I don't see anything else that seems relevant to the problem at hand, but surely there must be some way better to resolve the problem? |
62793 | Why Galaxy SII reports on not enough memory for new apps when I have several GBs available on flash storage? | I have 5GB free out of total 11.5GB internal flash storage on my SGS2. However, it doesn't allow to install new apps saying there's not enough memory. Also `Settings > Applications Manager > All` reports 1.7GB used, 281MB free (even immediately after reboot). Why I can't use all 11.5GB of internal storage for my apps, but only 2GB? How can I make more storage available for applications? Samsung Galaxy SII, stock firmware auto-updated to 4.1.2 I9100 XWLSE. |
62794 | Driving directions in new google maps | I've just got a new phone and downloaded the new Google Maps. I cannot find the written driving directions in this version. There used to be a list of the directions that appeared together with white circles showing where you need to change directions on the map. Is this still there? Where can I find this view? |
8851 | Unsupported File Type: Why did my Samsung Galaxy S suddenly stop supporting MP3s? | All of a sudden my Samsung Galaxy S claims to not support mp3 files (the phone has been idle for a few hours, I did not touch anything). Ogg files however still play without problems. When this happens, no app can play mp3 files, e.g. my custom ring tone is not played anymore (it just vibrates as if it were muted). A reboot of the phone fixes the issue but within 3-4 days the problem comes back. It does not make a difference if files are stored on internal or external sd card. This also affects video playback, I'm just not sure if it happens at the same time or independent of each other. The youtube app can no longer start videos (unknown playback problem), and the video player app claims all video files as unsupported. I suppose the issue may not be the video playback itself but the audio codec used in the video (mp3). Any idea how to fix this or debug this? I don't want to reboot my phone every couple of days - it takes 2-3 minutes to do this and a phone should just work. I applied 2.2.1 firmware lately and this only seemed to make the problem worse. I had this before 2.2.1 (with 2.2) but only very rarely. I'm curious if TitaniumBackup may be the culprit as the backup scheduler seems to stop processes sometimes. Maybe others experiencing this issue use scheduled TitaniumBackups, too? The hint was that since upgrading to 2.2.1 I also upgraded to the licensed TitaniumBackup version and scheduled daily backups. But this may just be coincidence. What contradicts this theory: Backups are scheduled at night but last time I saw this issue it happened during the day - mp3 worked in the morning, failed in the afternoon. The phone was idle during the time it "decided" to no longer play mp3. Looking at forums (I only found a few hits in Google), people having the same problems suggest to simply reboot the phone - but that is no fix at all. Or they suggest to send the phone back for replacement - and guess what: It has not fixed the problem for people experiencing this issue. So I suggest it is not a hardware issue (neither related to sdcards nor to the phone itself). |

8854 | Phone doesn't respond to ping | I'm trying to develop an application that knows when I am home based on my phone being on my wifi network or not. I'm running into a weird issue in that I can only ping the phone if I have recently (within the last minute or so) tried to access a web page on the machine I am pinging on. I'm not even able to get an ARP reply unless I've tried to recently access the machine. So, do Android phones have a very restrictive firewall by default? Is there any way that I can change this? I don't believe it to be a network issue, because I can ping the phone at any time from my router, it just doesn't respond to other clients on the network. |
