68875 | Should a glass replacement on a Samsung Galaxy S3 include a gel? | I recently replaced the front glass on my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, and the new glass sits surprisingly well! But the screen seems to be more hollow than before. Also the glass seems to press down onto the digitalizer unlike it used to, causing "ghost touches" if pressed firmly. I remember some kind of gel on the inside of the original glass, that held the glass splitter together when I removed it. Is that a component that is now missing? If you have other theories on why the front glass doesn't seem to adhere onto the digitalizer/display module as it used to, please do share in the comments. |

59518 | Titanium Backup Pro: what are the differences between backup options | I have just a small question about Titanium Backup Pro. I've done my first backup, Backup all user apps and system data, and now I want to use a schedule for the next backups. So if I choose a weekly backup and the option "Redo backups for modified data", what exactly will be done in the next backup? Does Titanium Backup Pro check my current Backup (all user apps and system data) and just redoes a backup for modified things? So the only difference between the options "Redo backup for modified data" and "Backup all user apps + system data" is the following: the first one just does a backup for modified data and the second does a backup for all. So the first one is of course faster. Generally is there a Wiki around where you could find all the difference in these options. I also would like to know the difference between "Backup all user apps and system data" and Backup new user + system apps and newer versions" Thanks for your help |
59328 | How to drop out of airplane/flight mode periodically to check messages | I normally keep my phone in Flight Mode (called "Airplane Mode" under 2.2) in order to save battery power. When I have some time to check messages, I turn off Flight Mode, re-enabling the cellular transceiver. Is there a way I can set up my phone to momentarily drop out of Flight Mode periodically, say every 10 minutes, preferably without using a non-free app? I don't really need it to be in Flight Mode per se, just to disable power- draining devices, especially the cellular transceiver. |

26982 | Restore Android Samsung Galaxy S Captivate SGH-I896 back to original installation | I have a Android Samsung Galaxy S Captivate SGH-I896 and I have some problems with the sound. My provider sent me a new one and expect the old one back in it's original state. So I have one that is rooted and unlocked and a clean one. Can someone help me unroot it knowing I already did a factory reset on it. I'm trying to root it again (thinking the unroot will work) and I'm trying the same way I did it the first time but it doesn't work. Is it possible to format the old one with some image made from the new one? Any suggestions? |
26983 | How do I prevent a system update from occurring? | We have 150 new XOOM Wifi tablets (MZ604) that we are distributing to high school students in 2 weeks. The tablets have stock ICS 4.0.4 on them, unrooted. The requirement is the tablets run Adobe Flash Player 11 in order to interact with math and science curriculum that coincides with our textbooks. Adobe Flash Player does not work with Jelly Bean, therefore we need to prevent the devices from going past the 4.0.4 update. The students can take the devices off-campus and use them with their home wifi connections, so doing anything to block the devices at the school network is not going to work. |

78692 | Audio Playback Error - Galaxy s2 | Am getting the error message when I attempt to play audio files (mp3) when previously I was able to play them fine. OR I can play the files for a little bit (or sometimes 50% of the file) and then it will become glitchy and then stop or just stop without any glitchyness - which is more often )and then I get the error message. OR they will play fine. These files are all Mp3's - most of them - perhaps all have been downloaded as podcasts using an APP called beyond pod. I haven't noticed yet if other mp3 files transferred to phone also experience the problem. The issue is the same across a number of media players. Thinking that there is a problem with the file downloaded, Ill delete and re- download - and then there is no problem, but the problem will reoccur. The problem does not seem to affect audio files that were downloaded prior to the when this issue first occurred. It makes no difference if the file is saved to the internal or external sd card. I've noticed other people have been experiencing this issue but it doesn't seem clear what the solution could be. Suggestions have included some kind of issue with other Apps such as Twitter or a 3rd party task killer - I've deleted these apps and there is no difference. Other solutions include an hard/factory reset - which according to some has solved the issue - for other not. I would prefer not to have to do a factory reset - it seems a bit drastic especially if it would not be the solution. SOME MORE INFORMATION WHICH MAY OF BE SOME USE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT EXACTLY IS HAPPENING TO THE AUDIO FILE TO MAKE IT UNPLAYABLE: for example: 1.I have downloaded a BBC podcast 41 minutes long - through a podcast player and manager (beyond pod). 2.I see it listed on the app playlist - with the correct duration and title and other info. 3.I press play. Almost immediately an exclamation mark appears against the file but it continues to play normally - even though now it is telling me theres a playback error. 1. I forward it to 16 minutes and it stops - and another warning of a playback error. Im unable to play this file again unless I go back to the main menu and select it. (galaxy s2 android 4.1.2) many thanks for any help |

57910 | Use Tasker with "OK Google" on Nexus 5 | OK guys, I have searched and searched but cannot find an answer to this question. I want to link the "OK Google" phrase that starts a Google Now search on the Nexus 5 to Tasker, or more specifically the AutoVoice plugin for Tasker. I can attach the swipe up from the bottom to use AutoVoice rather than Google Now , but I cannot figure out how to make the phrase "OK Google" use AutoVoice. I read that on the Moto X you can use Tasker to watch for the "Touchless Control" App to become active, and then kill it and start AutoVoice. But the Nexus 5 doesn't have the Touchless Control App, In fact I don't know what process or App is actually listening for the "OK Google" phrase on the Nexus 5. Can anyone shed any light on how I might make this work. Thanks in advance |

26674 | Back up sdcard to cloud | Problem: I have an internal flash drive (`/sdcard`) with "stuff I don't like losing". Due to a bug in ClockworkMod Recovery, it got wiped the other day. I had been manually backing up my entire card to my local computer every so often, but it was a manual process. I have a Box.com account. I have a Dropbox account. I have a Google Drive account. I want to automate uploading everything to one of those services (preferably Box, as I got in on the 50GB promo they did). I'm assuming this exists as a free or one-time purchase app, but all I can find are "back up services" that require a subscription. I use Titanium Backup to back up my apps, I take full images of my phone via CWM every so often, but I can't pass all that data to the cloud (well, TiBu will upload to Box/Dropbox, but that's not everything). Dropbox has a built-in image backup that will automatically upload any pictures I take to my account. Google+ can do the same to my G+ account. However, that's still only a portion of what exists on my internal storage. I want something that will grab everything else. Ideas? |

66206 | Does adb root command survive reboots? | I am little confused by the behavior of my device recently. I tried to push a file into my unrooted device and it did throw "Permission denied on me". i did `adb root` and then tried to push the file and it seemed to be working fine. Now, when I rebooted the device, I thought that until and unless I do `adb root` again, I will be seeing permission denied error. But somehow, but my push command was successful this time. * Does it mean that root command survives the reboots? * If yes, how can I take it back to the state when it was not allowing me to push the files. I am doing this becuase I am trying to understand the behavior of a device without root access when I automate some commands and unpredictable behavior of my device actually has confused me at this point. |

I'm trying to help someone set up his Android phone - an LG Thrill 4G - to connect to his PC so he can text from his computer, back up his contacts, etc. I downloaded and installed the SDK. I used the SDK manager to install more stuff, including the Google USB driver. I can see the usb_driver folder in the Android SDK extras folder, and I can see .dll files inside (if I remember correctly). I've set the phone to have whatever USB box checked. And, of course, I went to the Device Manager (he's got Windows 7), right-clicked the phone, and tried finding drivers online and finding them on the computer. No dice. Something online said I should run the dpinst.exe file and that it should be in the usb_driver folder. It isn't. Should this exist? Is there another way to get the driver to install? Should I take another route altogether? What am I missing? |

I had been receiving 4.4.3 update for quite some time but since TWRP is unable to install OTA update I hadn't been able to install it. I decided to skip it as it was a minor update. Later I started having a few issues with navigation, so I decided to update to 4.4.3 by reverting back to stock recovery. I downloaded the factory image from google developers corresponding to `KOT49H`, then extracted and flashed the `recovery.img` file via `fastboot`. Everything went fine except that now when I try to install the OTA update, I get an error in the recovery screen (The android guy with 'error' written below him). I'm wondering what may have caused this error. Also if I flash the complete factory image, will it wipe all my apps and appdata? Any help is appreciated. |

I'm not sure which 'M' release this OTA update is. All it says in Settings > About phone > Cyanogenmod statistics > Preview data is the following: > 11-20140225-SNAPSHOT-InstallerXNPQ09P-maguro I'm assuming this is an update added on 25-Feb-2014. But in the Cyanogenmod download page for maguro (https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=maguro), it shows 'M' releases that were added way after that, like M6 added on 04-May-2014. So, 1) Why am I not getting these updates through Settings > About phone > System updates and 2) Why doesn't the above mentioned snapshot show up in the Cyanogenmod download page for maguro?

I'm running an Android emulator onto a Windows-7 platform, and there I'm running the `adb shell` command into a DOS window. Using the `cd` command I'm changing to the directory where my `configure` file is, and then I'm executing the following command: `./configure`. I'm getting the following error : ./configure: permission denied So I try to run adb in root mode with `adb root` \-- but apparently my adb is already in root mode (Moreover I have the "#" character before each line of my adb shell). I have also tried to use `chmod` but I don't see any difference before and after executing this command (`ls -la`), so maybe the problem is here (How can I run the `chmod` command?). Maybe someone here can help me with my issue, and if you have also an explanation about why I don't have the permission to run my `configure` file it will be great. Thanks. PS: My goal here is to use the net-snmp package on an Android platform by compiling the sources of this project directly onto the platform. |

56638 | VPN without Screen lock in 4.4 | I want to set up a VPN on my Nexus 5 without being forced to lock my screen. I'm aware of the common method to put the wrong pin and resolve it with logging in with my Google Account. But, for some reason, the "Forgot PIN/Pattern/Password" Option does not show up on my Nexus 5. Can someone help? I really need that VPN, and don't want a screenlock. |
56630 | Why doesn't Android recognize my SD card when my computer does? | There appears to be a problem with my micro SD card. It is 8 GB (really 7.4) is not recognized/mountable by my phone. When I put it into an SD card adapter, I can see everything on the card perfectly. Note this this is the original card provided by Samsung when I bought the phone. However, I have a 2 GB SD card from PNY and it works without issue. What does this mean? Why can one card be read while the other (which has been working for about a year now) cannot? The old post can be found in the edit revisions. |
56635 | How can I export the list of open Chrome tabs? | Chrome's sync feature isn't picking up all of the tabs open on my Android phone. Are the tabs stored in a file somewhere that I can access?

74783 | What exactly is a widget? | I found some conflicting definitions on the term. On http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html, the author defined widgets as "View is the base class for widgets, which are used to create interactive UI components (buttons, text fields, etc.)", bascially used to create interactive UI components. However on on another StackOverFlow question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11911249/what-exactly-defines-a- widget, an answer was "application that can be interacted with from the home screen". My question is that in terms of android, does the term widget refer to the tool used to create the ui components or the ui components themselves? Can anyone clarify this? |
23911 | How can I get rid of the low disk space notification? | The low disk space notification frequently comes up. I can't get rid of it; the clear button doesn't clear it, and neither does tapping it. It's just taking up space. How can I get rid of it? I've got 20 MB of free space on my phone, which isn't a lot, but it's sufficient. I already know how much space is available, so a constant reminder serves no purpose, as there's nothing I'm willing to delete to free up space. This is a Google/HTC Nexus One running Android 4.0. (Quite an old phone to be running ICS, but it was like that when I aquired it secondhand.) **Edits in response to the comments and answers:** * I've already moved all possible apps to the SD card, and even a few that weren't _supposed_ to be moved there. Unfortunately, Android insists on keeping some stuff on the phone, even when the apps are moved off. As a Linux user, I can't understand this. By a combination of choosing the `$PATH` well and manipulating mount points and symlinks appropriately, I can't see why it should make _any_ difference to the system where the app is installed. * I've already cleared the cache. There's not much there, since I've been aggressive in my cache management. I've even cleared out several apps' data. * I haven't yet gotten around to moving my data to the SD card, as I asked about here. I think it'll only amount to a few MB of savings, though. |

25510 | Why does the Android device connect to a secured wireless router without providing a password? | During the weekend, I was able to connect to a secured wireless network via an Android device (Asus Transformer Tablet), but when I tried to connect to the wireless network via my laptop it was requiring the connection key (which I didn't know). Can anyone explain me how was this possible? I've tried to see the password of the wireless network on the Android device, but (I guess for security reasons) the current password for a wireless network is not shown in its settings. (The secured network was not previously saved/configured on the Android device.) |
25517 | Is there a way to route all traffic from Android through a proxy/tunnel to my Tomato router? | I'd like to be able to connect my Android phone to public Wi-Fi points (some with unencrypted connections), but: 1. People can see what I'm doing by intercepting unencrypted radio transmissions 2. The AP owner or other people logged into it can see what I'm doing 3. Hackers can pretend to be the access point and carry out man-in-the-middle attacks There are tools like Wi-Fi Ruler and WeFi to automatically connect to access points, but I don't trust random APs. I'd like all my traffic to go through an encrypted tunnel to my home router, and from there out to the Internet. I've done such tunnels from other computers with SSH/SOCKS and PPTP before. Is there any way to do this with Android? More specifically: * My phone now has CyanogenMod 7.1.0 * My router currently has TomatoUSB Version 1.28 I'm willing to change the router firmware, but I was having issues with DD-WRT disconnecting, which is why I'm using Tomato. Some possible solutions: SSH with dynamic SOCKS proxy: * Android supposedly supports this through ConnectBot, but I don't know how to get it to route _all_ traffic. * Tomato supports this natively. I've been using this with Tunnelier for my web browsing at work. Requires setting up each app to go through the proxy, though. PPTP: * Android supports this natively. * Tomato does not support this, unless you get the jyavenard mod and compile it? I previously used PPTP for web browsing at work and in China because it's native in Windows and DD-WRT. After a while I started having problems with it, then I started having problems with DD-WRT, so I switched to the SSH tunnel instead. Also it supposedly has security flaws, but I don't understand how big of a problem it is. IPSec L2TP: * Android (phone) and Windows (work/China) both support this natively * I don't know of a router that does. I could run it on my computer using openswan, but then there are two points of failure. OpenVPN: * CyanogenMod apparently includes this, and now has an entry to create a new OpenVPN in the normal VPN interface, but I have no idea how to configure it. * TunnelDroid apparently handles some of this. * Future versions will have native support in the VPN settings? * Tomato does not support this, but there are mods that do? I don't know how to configure this, either. * TomatoVPN * roadkill mod * SgtPepperKSU mod * Thor mod I could also run a VPN server on my desktop, I guess, though that's less reliable and presumably slower than running it in the router itself. I could change the router firmware, but I'm wary of more fundamental things breaking. Tomato has been problem-free for the regular stuff. Related: Anyone set up a SSH tunnel to their (rooted) G1 for browsing? |

However, when I tried to pair the G Watch using the Android Wear app on the new phone, it didn't appear in the list of possible devices (even after unpairing it from my old phone). The only way I found to do this was with the "Reset Device" option in the G Watch, but this loses "local" data (such as the number of steps, and other configuration).

37403 | Stuck in USB-debugging mode | I turned on usb-debugging on my HTC One X just to see if I could identify it when using Android SDK. Now the usb-debugging mode always shows up when I connect the phone to my Windows and Linux computer. I have Android 4.1.1 on it; it's not rooted. The settings in developer options is off for everything. Developer options itself is also set to off. Despite this, I always get a notification on my phone that it has connected in usb- debugging mode when I connect with usb-cable. When I check the developer options, they are mysteriously set to on again. When I try to change the settings for the usb connection, I get the settings for Portable hotspot & tethering and not the settings to charge or use mass storage. Strange! This behavior prevents me from using the mass storage option. On my Linux computer, I cannot see any files on the device. Are there any global configurations/settings I can clear to fix this?
