title: Reconnect to mobile via USB without rebooting

text: I am a developer (using eclipse) and regularly have my Samsung Galaxy SII connected to my PC via a USB cable. A few times per day I will unplug the cable and plug it back in again in order to take phone calls, go to lunch etc. About 4 times out of 5 this is all fine. But one time in 5 the PC fails to properly re-communicate with my mobile and eclipse does not recognise the phone as being connected. Repeatedly unplugging and replugging in makes no difference, the connection is lost. The only way I know to fix it is to reboot my PC - which takes ages!... Is there something else I could try?

title: Local files revisited: Opening local HTML files (file:///path/to/file) in Chrome on Android 4.x

text: There are other questions on this same topic, but I'm finding that on 4.0.4 with my HTC One, I can open `file:///` URLs just fine with Firefox, but not with Chrome or the Android browser. Those two simply report a security error and show no content. Is this something that changed since the 2.x era when it was apparently possible? ( _edit_ well I realize there was no Chrome for 2.x but ...) _edit_ -- sorry; false alarm. It works fine. All the visible directories on the phone - those you browse through with a file explorer, or when you mount the device as mass storage - are under a top- level directory called "sdcard". Thus, if you create a folder at (apparently) the top level, then a file in it must be accessed as:               file:///sdcard/your_folder/hello_world.html      Probably most people know that already :-)

title: How to preserve BTEP data when switching from Amazon App Store to Play Store?

text: I want to replace as many as possible of the apps that I got though the Amazon Appstore app (AAa) with apps from, say, Google's Play Store.1 Of these "Amazon-purveyed apps" the most important one (by a very wide margin) is Better Terminal Emulator Pro (BTEP), which I purchased from the Amazon Appstore many months ago, and have used extensively ever since. > Is there an easy way to save my current (Amazon) BTEP's data, and restore > this data once I have installed a new (non-Amazon) BTEP? Now, as it happens, I have Titanium backups ("app+data") of all these apps. > How can I restore the BTEP _data alone_ from my BTEP Titanium backup? (As far as have been able to find, Titanium offers the option of restoring the app alone, or restoring the apps data along with the app, but I have not found any option to restore the data alone.) Thanks! 1Why? Because the Amazon Appstore app (AAa) I have on my phone _has to go_. I never use it anymore, and yet it starts on its own, and causes all manner of grief.


title: How move applications from built-in memory to SD-card without root access?

It is very sad news. I have moved or deleted from built-in memory everything I can. Can I explain to my phone that sd-memory is exactly the same memory as a built-in?

title: How do I escape a crash/reboot loop without losing data?

text: My Motorola Atrix 4G (MB860) is stuck in a crash/reboot loop. I believe it is running Android 2.3.6, but the phone doesn't stay on long enough to confirm. It seems this is a common problem (why is that?), but most of the potential solutions I've seen on the Internet haven't been particularly helpful. I can't seem to boot into Safe Mode, because I instead get stuck at a "Starting RSD protocol support" message that does not progress. I have tried clearing the cache, but that has no effect. I have had this happen in the past, but in those cases I was able to escape the loop by powering down the phone on purpose and restarting it manually. That solution is not working this time around. I have a lot of data on this phone that I would like to at least be able to salvage before I have to wipe the phone with a factory reset (if it does indeed come to that), but the phone does not stay on long enough for it to detect a USB connection or for me to turn USB debugging on to access it with adb. I have not modified the phone in the past, but I would be willing to do so if it meant that I could get adb working. I would prefer, however, to get at the source of the problem and delete any offending app file that might be causing this to happen (if such a file can be determined). What is going on here? Why does Android even allow this sort of thing to happen? And why is it not easier to get into Safe Mode? I suppose those are the more academic questions in this situation, but my primary concern is: How can I gain access to my files to back them up before having to do a factory reset? Or is there another way to escape this crash/reboot loop? **EDIT (2013-02-14):** To be clear, let me elaborate on what I mean by "crash/reboot loop" in this case. When I power on the phone, it goes through its normal display of the Motorola and carrier screens. Then the lock screen begins to load, as it normally does. It seems to me that it takes longer than usual for it to detect a cell signal and identify the carrier network (AT&T), but I can't know for sure. At this point, if I don't unlock the phone, it will eventually reboot on its own and continue to loop through this process until the battery dies. But if I do unlock the phone, I am immediately greeted by a series of "Force close" dialog boxes informing me that the following processes/applications have stopped unexpectedly:   * com.motorola.service.main   * Google Partner Setup (com.google.android.partnersetup)   * Google Play Store (com.android.vending)   * Webtop (com.android.portal)   * Bluetooth Share (com.android.bluetooth) I generally have to select "Force close" on the first few in order for the next few to appear, though the Bluetooth one appears immediately on top of the Webtop one. The phone will generally reboot immediately after the Bluetooth error appears. If I have the phone plugged into my computer via USB, I will get a USB connection notification immediately before the phone reboots. I should also note that the com.motorola.service.main error occurs multiple times. (If I "Force close" it, it reappears in between the other errors.) The Google Partner Setup and/or Google Play Store errors sometimes appear multiple times, as well. **EDIT (2013-02-20):** I'm still having issues, so I thought I'd go through the whole thing again, looking for new information. It turns out I missed one key part about booting into Safe Mode: You have to wait until the boot ANIMATION starts before holding both volume buttons down. (Then you keep holding until a long vibration occurs.) Anyway, when I booted into Safe Mode, things got worse, not better. The phone didn't even stay on long enough for it to complete the Android initialization! I don't know what that means, but maybe it's another clue?

title: Inaccurate time? How to fix it?

text: _Sometimes_ the time on my phone (X10 mini pro) is a little late while in sleep mode. I've experienced differences from 1 to 3 hours. My guess is that the clock system component (if there is such a thing in Android) doesn't get enough CPU time for some reason. This is not a big problem yet, since the clock will show the correct time just a few hundred milliseconds after I turn the screen on. The problem starts when I'm in sleep mode too and the phone is supposed to wake me up, because that way I have to wake up first to wake up my phone to wake me up. So the question is: is there a way to force my phone's clock to always refresh it's time, even in sleep mode? **Update:** I think I've found a pattern which might be relevant. Looks like this behaviour never occurs while charging the battery.

Is there a way to block certain URLs in **Opera Mini** so that the normal user can't change it via the Opera UI? Another idea I had (my app runs on rooted devices with secured su access) but which wouldn't entire cover all my requirements: Modifying the `/etc/hosts` file and change all urls to 127.0.0.1 - but the problem is that I don't just filter entire domains, but also just certain suffixes, etc. *.apk, and `/etc/hosts` doesn't allow wild cards just for file suffixes.

I read elsewhere that I should hold power + volume down button, and go into _Recovery Mode_ , did that, but it then got stuck in a screen showing "No command". How do I fix this ?   I'm a newbie in this, so please answer in detail.   Also I have my data backed up, so if I could somehow just reset it, that'd work too.

text: The Samsung keyboard has a Quick Symbol key, where ".,?" are on the same key and accessed similar to the T9 method (don't know if this is standard for Android keyboards). A good idea, but how can I quickly enter an ellipsis (three dots)? The best I could come up with is:               dot space del dot space del dot      Quite clumsy, but much faster than tapping dot and then twice wait until a next tap wont change the dot anymore. There surely must be a better way? ### Update On the Galaxy Tab there is no option to choose another keyboard layout; apparently on other Samsung devices there is (see GAThrawn's answer). Here you can see what options I can choose from: ![Locale and Text](http://i.stack.imgur.com/tmFwd.jpg) ![Samsung keypad settings](http://i.stack.imgur.com/UCrWH.jpg)


title: Which A2SD should I use with AOKP VJ 4.2.2 Jelly Bean v2.1 on HTC Desire

text: I have a rooted HTC Desire with the AOKP VJ 4.2.2 Jelly Bean v2.1 ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863780 I have successfully installed the ROM but am confused as to what solution to use for Apps2SD/A2SD. I'm a real beginner on that stuff! I have tried 40ad2sdx-a2 installed as in recovery from a zip file, and also installed through adb push, but the phone won't boot. Have formatted the SD card with 2 primary partitions (FAT32 14gb and then EXT4 2gb). Basically, I just want a Jelly Bean ROM with plenty of space for apps..! Can anyone give me a recommendation of an A2SD method that works and step-by-step instructions how to install?


title: Gallery images appearing in mixed up order

text: I have an HTC One X with stock Android 4.1.1. As you know, Android 4.1 introduced a "nice" feature to the gallery which allows grouping images by events. Unfortunately, after this update I started to notice a very annoying and intermittent bug: sometimes, if I have a group with hundreds of images, some of them appear in jumbled up order. I use Dropbox to sync them to my PC, so I don't usually connect my phone via USB to the PC. After seeing this issue, I browsed via USB to some of the images that appear in the wrong position and it looks like the EXIF date is correct, but, for some reason, the phone shows a different hour for this images in the "Details" section. It appears as if it misreads the hour when indexing them, showing them as having been taken one hour before the date in the EXIF data. I have tried to clear the cache of the `Media Storage` application and restart the phone, but, unfortunately, this did not do the trick and I think that a few more images got mixed up after it finished rescanning. Does anybody have any idea what might cause this bug and how can it be fixed? **PS:** I installed Total Commander on the phone and it displays the proper date for the images and it also picks them up in the expected order, so this is clearly a bug in the `Media Storage` app.

The power off screen comes up and I don't know it's just frustrating. What can I do to repair it? Is it worth repairing? Should I wait for my upgrade in June and go on with this problem? or Should I just throw the phone away and go without it until june? Please help! Thanks!

(Which usually is in a "where the hell am I" situation.) But I see no valid reason to allow Facebook to query where I am all the time. Facebook's settings don't have an option to disable this.

(If there is, I'd like to disable it in the browser too.)

The problem is that if I swipe left when answering a call on Samsung it answers the phone. If I swipe left on the Motorola it ignores the call. Needless to say, I keep ignoring people on my business phone. I need to figure out a way to change the direction of the answer swipe on one of them, preferably the Moto G since I'm already used to the Samsung way but I will settle for changing it on the Samsung if need be.

I downloaded and experimented with the Wifi Keep Alive and REGPON wifi KeepAlive apps, but they have had no effect. I even tried rooting the device, and put on this ROM, in hopes that maybe some change would take effect, but it hasn't. Is this a known issue with the Galaxy Tab 10.1? I've done some Google searching and I've seen other people report it, but most fixes seem to just describe how to go into the advanced settings and enable "never" as an option. Is there any kind of fix I can apply? This is a somewhat critical feature for me, as I intend to be able to receive Skype calls, which can't be done if the WiFi disconnects.

There are always tradeoffs when something is increased and another one decreased! Is more RAM or a faster processor better for general browsing and less mulititasking? What if I'm interested in gaming or doing lots of things at once? Will more RAM make up for a slower processor or vice-versa?


title: Android App for PDF presentations (Beamer LaTeX / Adobe Acrobat Reader)

text: I have just received my Nexus 10 - my first Android tablet! I bought the tablet partly for giving presentations. My presentations are created by using the LaTeX package "beamer", which produces PDF files. Acrobat Reader (on PC) has a presentation mode that works perfectly well for all purposes, but I have trouble finding this functionality in the Android version. There is a full-page display functionality in Adobe's app, but it has some animation for the page transitions. This means that "revealing" of new content (which is implemented by having successive slides that are identical except for the parts that are being revealed) will not work. This is one of the main functionalities that I want in my PDF presentations, and I seem to be unable to find any setting that would turn off the animation. I have also tried ezPDF reader, but did not find any presentation-style display at all. So my question is this: * * * **What apps on Android tablets have a mode that is suitable for Beamer PDF presentations?** (Ideally the app should work with standard bluetooth presentation devices.) * * * I apologize if this question has been answered before, but the searches I have tried have either given results on general PDF viewers or on PowerPoint (etc) presentation apps. Rather than trying all the different PDF/presentation apps there are, I was hoping that someone on SE might already be using their tablet in this manner, and would be able to help me out. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

title: Reset application specific or phone-wide default image folder

text: I was browsing with the official Facebook app and when sending a picture to a friend I used SkyDrive as the folder where to choose my files from. Then I accidentally made it the default folder. So now, whenever I want to send an image, the app always directs me to SkyDrive instead of getting it from the phone's gallery. I already tried resetting to defaults and deleting the data of the app, but that didn't work. That's why I think it might be a phone-wide setting. I just can't seem to figure it out.

I am using MortPlayer Music as my primary music player and it has some options to set the button action for the headset but I see no options for volume control.

title: Is there a way to easily record a phone conversation in-progress?

text: I do not own an Android device. I was thinking about getting one, and an important feature for me is the ability to record a phone conversation which is in progress - meaning, while I am in the middle of a conversation, I could touch a button which will save a two-sided audio recording of that conversation from the moment onward. I am aware that recording a conversation I am participating in without notifying the other members is illegal in some places - I have already checked this and have verified that it is _completely legal_ in my country. Is there is such a functionality in Android, through core features or available applications? **EDIT:**   * I prefer a solution which does not notify the other side of the recording, though it's not a must.   * I need a solution which works in any country.

I'd love a reference (or an explanation if anyone has the time) on what characterizes these different concepts, in what order they start and what role they play. I think I'm fairly certain of kernel and ROM, but the lines are a bit blurry when it comes to the bootloader and the recovery. Basically I have about ten questions related to this, but I think it would be best if there's just some pedagogical article somewhere that lays it all out :) All the results I've found on Google basically explain it as "when you choose boot into recovery it boots into CWM if that's installed" and that doesn't really help me to understand the purpose of the different parts and how they work. Thanks in advance! **edit** Some questions I feel wasn't answered in the linked thread: 1) The difference between bootloader and recovery 2) CM states that improper ROM flashing can brick a device, how? Shouldn't recovery be left intact? 3) Can you install a custom recovery (CWM) without unlocking bootloader on any device? 4) Is fastboot the same as recovery? 5) What component is "responsible" for the SIM lock? Why doesn't it go away completely if that part is removed? Thanks in advance for your patience :)

The problem with that approach is that it leaves him incapable of solving all the minor niggles that come with custom ROMs. Also, I live on campus (college) and troubleshooting online would be so much easier if he knows the basics.


title: What do "root," "flash," and "ROM" mean?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  What is the meaning of "flashing a custom ROM"? I have been looking for some good explanations of some words that have been frequently used the android developer communities like the XDA forums. Some words I've seen but do not understand are: root - (as far as I know it's the way of getting the super user access) flash - don't know what this is ROM - don't know either I need a more descriptive explanation about these words and the related tools, mechanisms, etc.

title: Can I connect to WEP-secured MyWi network from iPhoDroid?

text: Yesterday, I installed Froyo on my iPhone 3G with iPhoDroid. I'm trying to connect to the WiFi using MyWi on my jailbroken iPhone 4 but the network isn't visible at all. The network is WEP secured. That's not a problem with Android is it? I see lots of unsecured networks around, but I'm at work and they're all through proxies anyway, so that wouldn't work. Anyone have any insight on this? I'm completely new to Android so this is exciting to me!

title: Google Nexus One Android 2.2 -- Listen Volume very low

text: I find that podcasts have very low volume on my nexus one, using the google listen application while using headphones. My headphones have no volume control, and the nexus one is turned up to the max. I don't suppose there's any way to up this more? As it is now, I can't listen to podcasts while I'm on the bus/metro since the ambient noise drowns them out. Maybe I can talk to the city to see if they will lower the volume on their public transit systems!


title: Why does my EVO Android phone screen keep turning on?

text: I have an HTC EVO and I can be sitting around doing nothing, when all of a sudden the screen comes on and stays on. I try to turn it off, but it keeps turning back on - sometimes after a second, sometimes after a few minutes. If I just leave it, it will not turn off by itself, as it would if I manually turned it on but didn't enter the password. This is killing my already horrendous battery life! I have killed almost all background processes except some of the ones by HTC that looked important. I have also turned off application refresh, wifi, blue tooth, tried rebooting ... even put it into Airplane mode. Arghhh! Nothing helps! I thought I hit pay dirt last week - I replaced the factory 1500mAh battery with a 3500mAh for obvious reasons. For a few days the auto-turn-on seemed to be cured but now it has started happening again. Any ideas how I can get this paper weight to be more obedient? Thanks, Victor

title: How can I prevent my phone from using any kind of internet?

text: I have a weird plan and my phone went over its bandwidth usage this month... mostly just syncing up with Gmail, Twitter etc. So right now, every 5 minutes or so, my phone is telling me that it has spent 40 cents here and 30 cents there using up my prepaid money. I have done the following:   * Turned off Wifi (my phone doesn't see any WiFi spots anyway right now)   * Turned off all apps   * Turned off syncing of data However its still dinging me here and there and I need my phone minutes to last until it automatically reloads in two days. I've noticed that I will kill certain apps and then I find out they are turned back on... and syncing even though I told the phone not to. Short of putting the phone on airplane mode (which I don't want to do because I'm expecting an important phone call - also my phone then becomes totally useless.), I can't seem to keep it from using the 3G network!


title: Creating App and Swap partition for Android

text: I have got Karbonn A5+. I dont know how much ROM, RAM it exactly have. When I go to Settings > Applications > Manage Application it shows 191MB used, 11MB free. But, when I open Advanced Task Killer, it shows 220MB free. The same is shown when I go to System app, it shows: 220MB available. It also shows 48% used, 52% free. So I conclude that both apps show RAM+ROM clubbed, while Settings > Applications > Manage Application show only that for ROM. Thus according to System app, if 52% is 220MB, my phone is having ~419MB ROM+RAM. But it still have ~200MB ROM (out of which only ~10MB usually free) as shown in Settings > Applications > Manage Application. And phone has already started giving me "Low on space" warning and now I am not able to install any app. I have moved all possible apps to SD card using Apps2SD, but since am not yet rooted am not able to move some apps. Anyways now am deciding to root, install CyanogenMod for JellyBean (am stuck at Gingerbread :( ). But before that am deciding to buy 32 GB class 10 (to get better loading speed for apps moved on SD) MicroSD, partition it to have App partition of 4GB and a SWAP partition too since I think 419MB ROM+RAM is still small. I am trying to do it as explained here. It uses Link2SD and Swapper apps.   * Will having SD card space dedicated for SWAP partition be a good decision?   * Is partitioning this way a good idea at first place?   * When I read reviews of Swapper many people give it good rating while some considerable number of people say it may brick your phone. What should I do? Am not at all experienced in rooting and MODing. But have read a lot of stuff to get me confident. My first obvious step will be to do NANDROID backup with CWM. But after using Swapper if I brick my phone (like as reviews say it just stuck at start screen), how can I restore from backup?   * Also the tut asks to have FAT32 formatting for data partition and ext4 for App partition. Why is it so? What should be the ideal ones?    * The screenshot of Link2SD asks for "File system of SD cards second partition". Why is **second** partition asked?

title: Nexus 4 bricked by OTA upgrade

text: In early august, both my nexus 4 and my nexus 7 got the OTA upgrade. The nexus 7 one worked without any problems. The one for my phone actually bricked my phone. First it was stuck on the X-logo screen. I reflashed 4.2.2 and suddenly the phone had problems it never had before: random shutdowns, sudden locking of the SIM card, not booting unless plugged in. I also did all the wipes and factory resets Play support told me to do, and a factory reset and everything. I even replaced my SIM card and flashed 4.2.0 and it still has the same problems. I found a way to get 4.3 to get beyond the X screen, by flashing the radio back to an older version, but the above problems persist. Is there anything that isn't overwritten when you reflash an older version? (I'm thinking drivers or something like that) If so, what could it be? And how can I get them back to an older version? Since I voided my warranty (screen was broken and repaired by third party), I'm wondering if I can hold Google (or at least Android) responsible for breaking my phone... TIA


title: Rooted, but su hangs

text: I've had my phone rooted and flashed/reset/reflashed it several times in the last couple years. However, I recently reflashed to the stock image found here. When I try to use SU apps, it prompts to allow, I say yes, it seems to proceed as I'm used to, but nothing happens. So I open up trusty terminal and get a $. I type `su`, prompt/approve, but it just hangs. I never get a #. No error, no permission denied, nothing. I'm assuming this is the underlying cause of why SU doesn't seem to work for anything. I've checked and confirmed that setuid is set: `-rwsr-sr-x root root ..... su` So I'm kind of at a loss here. Any help would be appreciated.

However when I reboot the phone and go into the Revovery-Mode it just shows me a 'Broken-Phone' icon instead of the recovery options. The symbol it shows is a Phone with a red triangle on top of it. Anyone an idea what could be wrong? Edit: I used the Vision+ to root. But it was only a temporary rooting-tool. The permanent root didn't work. The Unrevoke-method doesn't seem to work. It never recognizes the phone. HBoot-driver are installed (on Windows). It tells that HTC Sync should be installed. It's not installed in the PC. Do I need it to remove it on the Phone? And how I do that? Thanks for any leads / tips.

title: Changing (Forcing) Screen Resolution on OUYA

text: OUYA doesn't provide any built-in (UI-based) way to change or force a resolution. This is a problem for some (like me) who have no HDMI devices, and use HDMI to DVI adapters, or simply have devices which do not correctly display the best resolution. (For clarity, OUYA defaults to 640x480 if it can't display a higher resolution). To clarify, I'm using a 20-something inch "normal" monitor (no HDMI input), so I see very pixelated writing that's hard to read in the OUYA menu. Some games, like Final Fantasy, appear to display decently though. This XDA Developers thread found two methods that works for some OUYA users. It's not clear if these actually change the resolution though. **Method 1:**   1. `cat modes` displays all the possible display modes. (`cat mode` displays the current mode.)   2. `echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/device/enable`   3. `echo (videomodefrommodesfile) > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/mode`   4. `echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/device/enable` **Method 2:** Run `am display-size (resolution)`. For example, `am display- size 1080x720` should change the (virtual?) display size to 1080x720 px. But other users in the same thread report that this causes other display issues, like shrinking the display. Is there a consistent way to change the display resolution?


title: Map displays incorrect data. Maps appear as fragmented tiles

text: When I zoom in beyond a certain level, the map appears in square tiles. Some of these tiles are correct, and others are not. The roads and landmarks appear correctly in Google Maps, but the topography layer looks pretty randomly filled in. In another app called Mapdroid, the incorrect tiles appear to be repeats of correct tiles. This occurs on both my Digno ISW11K and Casio IS11CA (firmware version 2.3.3). I first noticed the problem (for both phones) when I was recharging via my car's cigarette lighter while refreshing map data. I'd be totally happy if I could just somehow reset all the map data. . . Does anybody else have this problem? Thanks for any help/ideas.

So before I wipe everything and spend hours setting up my phone from scratch, is there a way to manually change back to Dalvik from the recovery menu?

title: Wheel behaviour for HTC Desire (setting alarm)

text: A couple of days ago I was setting my alarm on my HTC Desire (rooted and flashed with InsertCoin) when I realised a really cool behaviour with the wheel whilst selecting the 'minutes'. Basically, no matter how quickly I flicked it would stop at 00,15,30,45. ie. it would be scrolling fairly fast, but would jolt to a halt and stop at '15' Now, I didn't really think about it that much, other than "wow this is cool, don't remember this before" However, now I can't seem to reproduce the same behaviour - when I flick the wheel it just scrolls and eventually slows to a halt at any old number... Just wondering, did I somehow do something special to trigger the "smart scroll"? Has anyone else seen similar behaviour with the scrolling wheel?


title: Recovery boot not working properly - cannot select items

text: I am working towards installing CM7 on my HTC Incredible and have hit a snag. When using 'Reboot into Recovery' from ROM Manager v4.3.3.0 the phone reboots into Recovery, but the menus do not function properly. I can scroll up and down with volume control, but pushing power to select an option blanks the menu and takes the watermarked Icon for ROM Manager at center of display and makes it solid with nothing else displayed. Action does not happen. If I press power again, it toggles back to showing the menu and I can scroll up and down, but no action can be selected. I have to take battery out to boot again. I thought it might be due to doing this first time with USB connected to computer since install guide states: Known Issues   * Shutting down the phone with USB plugged in will start ClockworkMod Recovery in an unreliable mode.   * Shutting down the phone and then plugging in USB will also start ClockworkMod Recovery in an unreliable mode.    * The HTC Battery charge icon is replaced by ClockworkMod. Charge with the phone running in standby mode. But upon retry without USB plugged in same result. I tried 'Flash Alternate Recovery' to "RA_GNM Recovery v2.2.1" in Rom Manager and it gets: "An error occurred while flashing your recovery." I tried 'All ClockworkMod Recoveries' to move back to v3.0.0.7 and then back to v3.0.0.8 and it still fails in same fashion. Phone appears to be rooted properly, but I cannot do this last step. Please suggest how to get Recovery to function properly.

title: How to change android primary google account

text: During the "in-app purchase" I am unable to switch the Google account I would like to use for "in-app purchase". Currently, in order to change the primary Google account on Android operating system, we have the following ways:   * Perform factory reset on our devices.   * Remove other Google accounts, leave only one Google account.   * If we perform factory reset, we will lose all data that we have not backed up or unable to do backup. And, we have to re-install the applications that we need to use. If we choose to remove other Google accounts from our systems and leave only one Google account, if there are applications installed from Google Play Store by using the Google account that we want to remove from our systems, then we will not be able to remove the account from the system unless we remove those applications. However, sometimes we may forget which account we used to install an application from Google Play Store. My question is that is there any other way to switch between the accounts?
