title: Turn off the voice notification for emails on GALAXY S4?

text: So I tried to figure this issue out for my boss and ended up stumped, decided to call Verizon for some assistance however, due to lack of "official literature" (?) the tech was unable to assist me in solving the problem. Turns out if I go into the settings for the actual email account that my boss has connected to his phone and shut off the notifications completely that eliminates the voice from say... "You have one new email... You have five new email... You have eleven new email" but.... if we do that he can't receive any notifications at all. No beep, no vibrate, no standard email dings... there has got to be a way. Someone please help, the voice is driving everyone in the office crazy.

title: Samsung Galaxy S3 notification bar style changes

text: I currently have Android 4.1.2 on my galaxy s3 from Verizon and I am having issues with the notification bar. Seemingly at random it changes how the notification bar works. I had recently updated the gmail app to allow messages to be archived from the notification bar. However later the bar changed back to the old style where it no longer showed snippets of the email in the notification bar and I can no longer take actions for new email. At the same time I noticed new notifications are tacked on to the right side of the list instead of the left side when the new features where working. Has anyone else experienced this issue or figured out a solution for it? This is still happening after I upgraded to Android 4.3


title: Games unable to connect to the internet

text: I have a Samsung galaxy Ace, rooted. I installed Final Fantasy Dimensions and Sandbox (both are games).

So, why is the internet not working for the games?


title: Android music player keeps switching on party shuffle when brought to front

text: Since last week, every time I bring the standard Android music player to the front, it switches to party shuffle mode and skips away from the current tune, continuing to change tune every few 10s of seconds until I switch to normal shuffle or no shuffle. It also drops the play history, so I cannot easily get back to the piece of music it interrupted this way. Afterwards, if I do something else, for instance use the browser, when I switch back to the player, it switches party shuffle on again and starts skipping around as before. I have tried clearing settings for the music player and restarting it after forcing it to stop, but it has no effect. I have heard that various bluetooth and network enabled stereo devices can do this sort of thing, but both are switched off. If I take it to a different place and additionally turn off the radio transmitter under `*#*#INFO#*#*`, it still does it, so I am inclined to believe it is not another device interfering. As far as I am aware, it is a sudden change and I haven't updated the OS for a while or installed any apps - I have only a couple (Android version is 2.3.6 on a Nexus One). If anybody has an idea about how to stop this sudden forcing of party shuffle upon me, I would be greatful.


title: How to install Cyanogenmod on Huawei IDEOS U8150?

text: I am installing a custom rom for the very first time and I simply don't want to brick my phone (Huawei U8150).   1. I downloaded and installed Rom Manager    2. I downloaded Cyanogen 7 (update-cm-7.2.0-RC0-U8150-KANG-signed-dec5.zip) for my U8150 and stored it on SD card.   3. I started Rom Manager > Flash ClockMod Recovery > shows a list of supported phones. _It does not have U8150 in the list._ I wonder how others have made it work!   4. From ROM Manager I chosen the Rom file manually with "Install ROM from SD Card" option, it restarts and gives only for options a. reboot, b. apply update.zip c & d. wipe What to do next? The rom file is in .zip, while I downloaded another .img file (clockworkmod_5.0.2.7_u8150.img). What does it exactly do? I think i must first create backup of current rom and then install cyanogen.


title: Can Google Docs for Android work Offline?

title: Temporarily cache notifications

text: Is there a way to completely block notifications on my Android device? I'm not asking for "silent mode" or "remove individual apps, one by one". What I'd like, ideally, is an app that disables temporarily (like Windows 8 does) for say, 1, 3 and 5 hours all notifications. This includes sound, vibration, LED blinking, and the notification "banners" that appear on the notification area. Except obviously the permanent notifications, like Avast!, alarm clocks and TuneIn (just to name a few). And then, after the timer expires, show all notifications that have been blocked. Even if root is required, is there any possible way to achieve this? When I'm studying, I really hate having pending notifications in my bar, so instead of dismissing it, I'm forced to check them. I think Honeycomb tablets with the merged bottom bar had the feature to turn off notifications (although not temporarily, it was as easy as flipping the switch on when you were done). Edit: I'm running Android 4.2.2 AOSP (no root but I know how to root it) on a Nexus 7. Fully OEM. Edit 2: There is definitely no notification toggle on my device. ![Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/mUL5f.jpg)   (Click image to enlarge)


What are the features that Motoblur has that vanilla Android does not have?


title: Does it make any sense to use a firmware with HTC Sense or is better to go for plain 2.3 firmware?

text: I do have HTC Desire HD and I rooted it but I'm not sure how valuable is the HTC Sense package and if it makes "sense" (funny) to use a 2.2 firmware with HTC Sense or just to go for the plain Android 2.3 firmware.


title: Is there a lock-screen that can unlock without swiping across screen

text: My father has an HTC Incredible, and a major source of frustration is that the Sense lock-screen uses a swipe gesture to unlock, which for some reason is very difficult for him, especially when trying to answer a call. I can turn the lock-screen off, but this results in the answer and decline call buttons being active immediately, which could result in premature answering, or accidental hang-ups. I've also looked into some of the security options, as replacing the swipe gesture wholly with a short PIN or password (skip the gesture, only enter the PIN) would likely solve this problem. Losing the ability to answer from he lock-screen is acceptable. Unfortunately, these options still require the gesture to get to them on Sense (and on my own phone running CyanogenMod, as well). The hardware is out of warranty, so I can root and flash CyanogenMod if I need to lose HTC Sense to do something.

title: Problem with connection to home Wi-Fi - how to debug?

text: My Android device (GT-S5570 running 2.2.1) is having connection problems with my home Wi-Fi network (ZyXEL adsl P-660HW-D1). **The device connects ok, gets an IP address, and sees all other computers on the network** (using Overlook Fing). I have good signal strength, and there are no conflicting Wi-Fi networks around. However, ping results are rather mixed. Depending on the attempt results come back with **packet loss of anything from 100% to 0%,** usually one or the other, but something around 20% or 60% happens quite often too. This happens with all the devices on network, including the gateway. Other devices can ping each other just fine, independent of connection type (Wi-Fi or Ethernet wire). _There are also some other wlan problems with one (but only one!) of the computers:_ 1) It has some random touble connecting to the wlan (authentication failure), but when it gets a connection it stays connected without connection issues. 2) Sometimes ping results show some random packets with weirdly long latency, and occasional lost packet (<2% if even that). This would point to trouble with the Wi-Fi settings. However, the packet loss doesn't appear parallel: The Android can get packet loss while the computer at the same time reports perfect ping. The Android device **always gets a connection, and stays connected** to the Wi-Fi even when it's getting 100% packet loss. The Android device also **works perfect in any other Wi-Fi** I've tried. Also, any visiting computer I've tried connecting to my home Wi-Fi has had no trouble. The router has the original (which is also the latest) firmware, and I haven't meddled with the settings it came with - I woudn't know which settings to meddle with. **How do I debug this further?** What Wi-Fi settings could be causing this? _(This also seems oddly similar to the trouble described inthis question.)_ _(Cross-posted to Super User since while the main problem is with the Android device, the problem itself appears wider.)_

title: How do I keep my email and passwords secure without full-device encryption?

text: I bought a cheap, no-name Android 4.1.1 tablet a while back, and was dismayed to find that the "Encrypt Data" option was simply not present in the "Settings" -> "Security" menu. I then upgraded to a more mainstream Asus Memo Pad HD 7 assuming that this would have the full device encryption option, but this tablet didn't have it either! So I was wondering if there were any means of keeping e-mails (including ones that were sent unencrypted)/ passwords safe from attackers who have root access in case I lose my device, in the absence of full-disk encryption? Keeping web-browser passwords/ authentication cookies secret would be very handy, too. Thanks!


title: Possible Virus; Eratic Behavior on Galaxy Pocket Neo

text: Some time ago(a few months) I've bought a Galaxy Pocket Neo from a local internet store, which isn't really famous (actually everyone I asked knew nothing about it). It turned out to be a branch of mobileshop.eu, which was also unheard of by me or anyone I know. I'm saying this because I cannot be sure whether the OS itself was bought infected or with a backdoor or something like that. After several weeks of using, I've noticed rapid battery drain overnight, from 70% to emptying(the phone was turned off when I woke up). Not sure whether it's important, but sometimes, when I turned it on again, I got report that battery is on 252% or similar numbers - I assumed wrong calibration. The weird part is, when my phone 'survived' the night (happened a few times), and I tried to use it in the morning, it felt like I was fighting with someone to control the phone, like someone was tapping on my screen - except no one was near me. I solved that problem once by turning it off (took me a couple of minutes, the other _one_ was fast), and when I figured out I could just remove the battery I used that 'technique' (duh, mornings). Then I'd just turn it back on and it'd be normal, for the rest of the day. After a few days I've started turning off wi-fi&sync (mobile data was always off), and my battery only have lost a couple of percent. When I turn them back on in the morning, it's normal. The thing that persisted is the silencing of the phone and/or putting it on vibration. I'm sure that didn't press the button accidentally or something, that can happen even when the phone is just sitting on the desk. From what I've noticed, the screen doesn't turn on, but I hear the vibration. Cannot tell whether that happens overnight, since my phone is usually on vibration/silenced during that period of the day. I've checked the app permissions, didn't notice anything weird (if you could instruct me for what to look, I'd be grateful). Only non-play app I've installed is the Youtube Downloader from github. So, does anyone have any idea what I'm dealing with? I'm quite new smartphone and Android user, but I know my way around desktop PCs/Linux/Java/some C and experimenting with them, so any help is welcome. If it is a virus, what is the best way to remove it? From what I've read, the Android antiviruses aren't really effective (and if there are any that could help me, please list them), and custom ROMs should erase everything (I'm ready to take that step if needed), but are there any more options? Rooting the phone and uninstalling everything? If it's a bug or something I'm missing in settings, please notice me, preferably with instructions how to fix it. Thanks.

title: Put G+ back on share menu?

text: It use to be when I went to share a photo on from my Droid, a little menu would pop up with Facebook, G+, GMail, text messages, and more. After what I think was an update, that menu changed. G+ seems to have been removed and something called "Photos" has replaced it. Tapping "More" lists a lot more apps but none of them are G+. Choosing photos does not create a post on my G+ stream. Instead it uploads the photo to some weird holding place that can only be accessed from the G+ web interface. How can I get my G+ app back into the share menu? Thanks in advance. P.S. I have tried Andmade Share. It involves way too many taps. First after tapping share, you have to tap more. Find Andmade share in that list and tap it. Then Andmads Share shows an even longer list of apps. From there you have to scroll to find G+. Not the simple, tap share tap G+ post.

But when I go into the "Apps" page, with all the apps lined up, the places of the old apps (that were un-installed) is still empty! So there is a lot of empty space between the apps that make navigation between them hard. I have also tried restarting the phone several times, the OS has also been updated once, but the empty space in the apps page remains! I wanted to see if there is a way that once an app is un-installed its place won't be left empty in the apps window. Or more generally, is there a way I can sort the apps in the apps page so for example they can be sorted by their name or date installed? Thank you very much in advance,

title: Samsung Galaxy S2 won't make calls, message or go into the internet

text: For the last few months I have been having some problems with my _Samsung Galaxy S2_. I have had it two years this coming November, and it has been awesome until recently. The phone will work perfectly fine then all of a sudden it won't allow me to select any of the icons on my screen: if I touch any of my icons it goes to a black screen and takes me back to the home screen and continues to do this until the screen goes into lock mode. I have found the only way I can access it seems to be that if someone messages me I can pull down the notification bar and click on the message from there, which will bring me into the message centre and can type a messages to anyone on my contacts list. But if I happen to go back to far to my home screen I am unable to get back into messages. I further have found that if I get someone to message me and ring me in most cases it seems to reset itself, but am concerned as like today I have a sick boy at home, no home phone, and unable to ring the doctors. I have removed the SIM and battery and restarted the phone, and doesn't make a difference. I am open and willing to try any suggestions as I like my phone and don't want and can't afford to get a new one.

title: What are the command line options of Genymotion's player

text: Can someone give me a list of the cli options of Genymotion's player command. I see that I can get a list of the devices via VituralBox's command:               $ VBoxManage list vms      Then I can start the desired device with:               $ ./player --vm-name "Samsung Galaxy S2 - 2.3.7 - API 10 - 480x800"      Now I'm looking for player command option to start the Genymotion from the last run state. In other words have it resume where it was when the device was closed. There's a chance the option might be in one of the possible cli arguments. I've searched for a list, but so far my results are to how to start a VMS but not the full list of options that are available. I also used "-help" and "--help" as a parameter, but it just gives and error. Not the full usage options of the player command. This is the list that I have compiled so far (found by running player without argument):               --vm-name     --quiet      It may be that those are the only options of the player command. If it is I'd appreciate knowing so that I can stop searching.

title: Galaxy Nexus won't connect via USB

text: So my Galaxy Nexus has been fine until now. It has been running Android 4.2 and it was going perfect, then like a day ago I go to plug it in and it just won't connect via USB. It charges on USB but that's it. The drivers are installed and the problem is not my computer; I tried it on another computer as well, I haven't changed anything at all. The last option I think for me is to do a factory reset, which I reaaally don't want to do. It won't even come up with USB connected on the phone. Any ideas? * * * **UPDATE** I sent mine back for repairs and the mobo was screwed on it. No idea what caused it.


title: How do i find my Mobilenumber on my Samsung Galaxy 5

text: I've been trying to give my friend my number. When I first got my _Samsung Galaxy S_ I wrote it down in the memos: a mobile number that had 11 numbers in it. I can't remember where I got that from -- and now when I try to find it, I go into _About -> phone-status_, but for phone number it says "unknown". I don't know what to do. If I click on the "unknown" thing it does nothing. I also thought numbers were meant to have 10 numbers. So how can I find out what my number is?

However, I couldn't find a way to enter that line break in Thinking Space. I tried the following input methods: Swype, TouchPal, Hacker's Keyboard.

title: Does the sd-ext partition get wiped out after flashing a different ROM?

text: I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace using its official CyanogenMod build. I wanted to try this MIUI ROM for a change: http://forums.miui.us/showthread.php?22816-ROM-MIUI-us-2-8-3-for-galaxy-ace Everything went fine, except that it doesn't see the 1GB sd-ext partition now. I don't know if it's just unmounted because my sdcard partition size stayed the same. Does the process really do that? I'll check the recovery menu once I'm done backing up my sd card. But if you have any ideas, please do share them. Thank you. Edit: Nothing in the recovery menu helped. I'm now about to re-create the sd- ext partition.

Again, I don't want to delete them, and I still need access to most of the messages, but only on demand

When I click "Scan" on the list of WAPs, it continues to appear as a "Remembered" access point rather than connecting.

When I plug the phone into the cable, I receive the "Click here to connect via USB" button. However, when I click it, the phone thinks for a bit and then tells me that it's connected; yet Windows makes no mention of it and the drives are not accessible from the computer. It has worked in the past, but has apparently decided I am no longer worthy or something. I have rebooted both the phone and the computer with no change in behaviour. What am I doing wrong? Is there something obvious I've missed?

title: CM7 GPS works randomly, no rhyme or reason, is there a fix?

text: I have the Incredible and here are the specs: CyanogenMod 7.1.0 Stable Baseband: 2.15.00.07.28 I can't seem to get my GPS to run in a stable manner. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I've installed all the diagnostic GPS apps: GPS Essentials, GPS Status, GPS Test, GPS Fix, and doesn't make a difference. Cleared the AGPS, d/l new AGPS, etc... When I use any of those, or my speedometer apps - Speedview and UlyssesSpeedometer - the GPS icon doesn't even blink. It's as if it can't hook the GPS command to turn on. When it does work, it's great, a fix in about 3 seconds and 10 or 11 satellites. I've run Fix Permissions in Rom Manager, and that seemed to help right away, but nothing since then, and I've ran that after I've installed new apps unrelated to anything GPS, and still to no avail. How can I fix this to get a stable GPS on my phone?? Any help would be greatly appreciated, so frustrating.


title: Can I use a Galaxy Gear without a Samsung Phone?

text: I got excited about the prospect of writing code for a watch and ordered a Samsung Galaxy Gear. Currently the device does nothing unless paired with a Samsung phone running the proper version of the official software.

The obvious answer is no, but I'm hoping some clever hacker in this site may have found a way.

title: adb shell superuser access without approve from phone

text: I'm running MIUI 3.9.27 on my HTC Desire S. I accidentally froze my miui launcher (com.miui.home) and after reboot, phone stuck on boot animation, but seems everything running except miuiHome. I know that for defrosting app from `adb` I should run `adb shell pm enable com.miui.home` but it'd say `Killed` and nothing happen. I read somewhere that I should run it as superuser but when I run `su` adb wait for phone root access approval, and since phone stucked on boot animation I couldn't approve root access. Is there anyway to access superuser without approving it from phone? or doing pm from recovery? P.S: I think if I could push LBE Guard data (that adb root access has been granted and remembered) into /data/data it may work but I don't know how I could do this

title: What Options Are Available For Viewing the LogCat?

text: I recently had to capture my `logcat` for my HTC EVO 4G device to try and identify the reason why updates sometimes fail claiming there is insufficient memory ( **issue discussed more extensively here**). However, the log captures EVERYTHING which means you have a lot of unnecessary information as well which makes it hard to look at the raw data without getting overwhelmed with the amount of data. I am trying to isolate the data relevant to the updating process so we can see what's going on that is triggering the error when there is enough space on the internal storage that can't be exhausted by the size of the installer and/or application size. Does anyone have a suggestion for a LogCat viewer or recommendation? What solution works best? Preferably a visual (GUI) tool that can process the file with filtering capability and hopefully intelligent grouping and so on.

text: The _Locations_ feature on Google+ running on Cyanogenmod is not showing a Map. I am not sure what's the cause of this, but as of CYAN-1193 the fix is to convert Google+ to a system app. I did this successfully with Titanium Pro with just one click. After Google+ became a system app, the map was shown. Now I have a dozen other devices without the pro version of Titanium where I want to do the same. Surely there is a way with _root_ and `adb`.

title: Errors when receiving iMessage group texts

text: Phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII   OS: Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 I've tried talking to Samsung, AT&T, and reading forums looking for a good answer to this, and I seem to be the only person experiencing this exact problem. When someone sends me a group message from iMessage on an iPhone, one of 3 things happens.   1. I receive the message from the original sender, no evidence of other people on the message, and receive a message from 'Anonymous' at the same time that says "Message not found."   2. I receive the message from the original sender twice, sometimes with the error message, sometimes not.   3. I only receive "Message not found" and the actual message never reaches me. All I want is to see the group message from iMessage without an error or a duplication, and it would be nice to know it's a group message. Icing on the cake would be to actually reply all and even see who else it was sent to. I have not seen anyone else report this particular error. This has been an on- going problem, not a recent one, that I was only very recently able to diagnose. Today's advice has ranged from telling every one of my iOS friends to turn off Android messaging in iMessage, to deleting my phone number from the Apple Support page (which does not and never has had an iPhone attached to it), to resetting my device. Even if the answer is `This is a common issue because Samsung and Apple love to feud and piss off their customers, so they make it impossible for you to communicate with the enemy`, I would love to hear that.

title: How to properly factory-reset a Samsung Galaxy S2?

text: I did a factory reset on a Samsung Galaxy S2 like this:   * switch off phone   * hold down buttons Volume Up, Home and Power until phone boots into "Android System Recovery" mode   * select wipe/factory reset and confirm all questions As expected, after the factory reset, all apps were not installed anymore. But this does not seem to have worked for the file system: On the file system of the internal USB memory (/storage/sdcard0), I see many folders of previously installed apps and also some which I had manually created before the factory reset. I think that a factory reset should delete all these folders, because e.g. the WhatsApp folder contains all my personal messages. I think that if a function is called a factory reset, then afterwards personal messages should be deleted. So what's wrong here?


title: Unable to restore /EFS from backup on galaxy note II

text: Phone model : SGH-I317M Network : Rogers I made a backup of the /efs folder right after rooting my phone. (Using EFSPro). Since then I have played around with downgrading to android 4.1(downloaded from samsmmobile) from the official android 4.4 release before. Due to bootloader issues I was unable to do this. To fix my phone I downloaded android 4.4 from Samsmobile. The phone boots fine, but I have no network connectivity. The IMEI and baseband are unknown. I tried restoring the EFS backup but it did not work. After a bit of debugging here is what I found: 1) After restoring the EFS backup I took another backup and compared the MD5 for my original backup and the backup take right after restore. They matched. 2) Then I rebooted my phone and did another backup, this time the MD5's did not match. Hence Something during the boot process is rewriting my EFS folder. I tried doing a format of the /efs parition before restoring but the format failed. Any help/ideas would be appreciated.

title: Why don't the commands for punctuation, capital letters or other speech-to-text functions work?

text: I was very sceptical about Google Text-to-Speech but I tried it and the word recognition is pretty good. What drives me crazy however, is that it does not recognise any of the given commands for punctuation, capitalisation or any other dictation commands. It writes only in lowercase, even for common first names (e.g. James) and for the start of sentences, and it always puts "i" in lowercase. This alone renders it useless for dictation for anything except personal texting or private note taking. You can forget using it to dictate a business email. It also chooses very strange word recognition options. For example saying "send to" yielded "casna", but in the drop down was the option to change the word to "send to". Why would Google choose a made up word over a well-known phrase? Voice commands for capitalisation and punctuation clearly worked in the past, so what has changed, and more importantly when is it going to be fixed? Google also autocorrects "www." to "wee", meaning that it is impossible to dictate a web address. That alone makes the "OK Google" function useless for browsing.


title: Drivers for TrekStor Surftab Xiron 7.0 3G

text: I just bought a TrekStor Surftab Xiron 7.0, and I was trying to use it to test apps. It's the first time I do this, so maybe I'm just doing something wrong. I turned on the developer settings and the USB debug, connected the tablet to the computer and tried to install the Google drivers (The ones in the SDK), it didn't work. Then I tried to search for drivers on the TrekStor website, but they don't seem to have download links. I tried another couple of drivers I found online, but none of them worked. Does anybody know where I can find working drivers? The Android version is 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean).


title: How does Over-the-air updates (OTA) work

text: I read the Wikipedia article but it's not totally clear on how Android updates are pushed to devices. This is what I understood but am not certain which is correct so please add details to approve or disapprove my statements. Case A Phone has some service that periodically checks manufacturers servers (with some sort of polling) then if there is a new update it informs the user with a notification. User than clicks the notification and downloads and installs update from manufacturers server Case B OS updates are just like ordinary software updates, there is a Google Cloud Messaging or similar broadcast receiver active on the phone and manufacturers just send message using this which shows user a notification. User than clicks the notification and downloads and installs update from manufacturers server Case C Phone is notified about the updates by the mobile network (over-the-air provisioning (OTAP) like MMS and WAP settings) and than it shows a notification of the update. User than clicks the notification and downloads and installs update from his/hers mobile network provider These all seem probable but consider these cases: What would happen if phone is not registered on network for a long time and internet is disabled (think of a tablet without internet access for example)? Why are phones with same version (international version) of firmware getting new updates at different times on different networks? NOTE: I recently found out that CyanogenMod has OverTheAir updates in newer versions, how are they doing this, I doubt they have mobile network providers support?


title: Google Now not replying to voice commands, just parsing the words to search terms in browser

text: I am using LG OPtimus L5 and when I use Google Now I speak into the mic ,but it just transfers what I say to web search. I want it to take some commands, like add this, call this person, etc., but it doesn't. Is it the version stock of Google Now that comes doesn't have these commands programmed, or do I need new version, etc.? Settings? Can't Google Now be used as a personal assistant like Siri?


title: aGPS on Xolo Q800(X-Edition) unable to find 'first-fix'

text: Android Phones in question:   * Xolo Q800   * Xolo Q800 X-Edition I own X-Edition version & aGPS is unable to find first-fix since the ' **day one** '. When on Google-maps, location defaults to tower(GSM mobile Transceiver, BTS) co-ordinates.   1. Installed `GPS Test` app, I noticed all packets received were portrayed as **gray bars** on the SNR graph of the utility.   2. Installed `GPS Status` app, reset GPS data/cache & downloaded it afresh. Still first-fix was nowhere in sight.   3. Checked Xolo website for s/w upgrade, although there is an update to 4.2 most Xolo-Q800 are complaining about buggy update on various forums. I'm reluctant to upgrade or try out custom ROMs.   4. Came across this Fixing the GPS on my Samsung Galaxy S?. The procedure is totally different & aGPS is a solution over here. I found `agps_profiles_conf.xml` file at location `/system/etc/`. It's full of aGPS server details. Can this be addressed? Please push me in right direction to fix this glitch.

title: Using ADB with usb debugging disabled, and no root

text: I have an Android Device running Android 2.3.7 . The device is locked due to exceeding pattern attempts. So now Android is prompting me to enter my gmail id and password. The problem is, the WiFi is turned off and the Data is turned off. I have found using this thread that you it is possible to turn on wifi using ADB. But on my device, even usb debugging is not turned on. So, I cannot access the device using adb. So, I figured may be you can access device using adb in recovery mode ( my phone is not rooted ). But so far, in recovery mode, running `adb devices` does not list my device. Is it possible to access a device using adb if your usb debugging is turned off ( on a non rooted phone ) ? How about in recovery mode ?


title: How can I get Google Maps on Android to show metric units?

text: Google Maps always shows me distance values for direction results / navigation in miles, although it does show me a scale on the map itself in metric units. I rather prefer to get my direction distances in metres/kilometres. Is there any way to achieve this in Google Maps? I searched a bit for this and suggestions seem to be to change locale in Settings > Language and Keyboard. Mine is currently set to English UK.


title: How to get my original ROM working again?

text: I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830L and I a few days ago downloaded and installed a custom ROM 4.2.2 the name of the file is (cm-10.1-20130503-NIGHTLY-cooper), It worked good at first, but then the apps didn't download it used a lot of memory, it crashed/hanged and it became annoying, So I'm trying to return to my previous original version 2.3.4, but It doesn't work... I made a backup with clockworks, but it doesn't work. I tried downloading one from the internet and using thor (i think that was its name) to install it, but it doesn't connect succeed anytime I try... I also tried with kies, but It didn't work, it just staid there for hours without doing anything... So what are my options to restore the original ROM?, I really need to get back to it, this version is just to buggy and annoying for me to stay with it.


title: Bluetooth keyboard won't re-pair to my Galaxy Note 10.1

text: I bought a Bluetooth keyboard and it worked beautifully for 2 days. I then unpaired it to use on my friend's tablet and it worked amazingly well on hers as well. When I went to re-pair the keyboard to my Note 10.1 it shows up in the Bluetooth devices list, but the box to type in the code will not come up and there is no settings cog next to the name like there should be. So the keyboard has become useless as I can not for the life of me find a way to re- pair and connect it to my tablet. I am running android 4.1.2. Please help as I need this to work for school. I purchased this to take notes in class.

title: Installation of BusyBox on panda board on Android ICS kernel

text: I am trying to install BusyBox on panda board which has an ICS Android kernel. I used the steps below:   1. Download binary file which supports the panda board   2. Push it into `/system/busybox` folder   3. Install the BusyBox command line tools on the target by executing the following commands on booted filesystem:              pc ./adb shell     target$ cd /system/busybox     target$ ./busybox --install .     target$ ./sh  #here i am getting error like ./sh: precmd: not found   4. Save the original sh executable by renaming it, and then create a soft-link to BusyBox sh:              target$ cd /system/bin     target$ mv sh sh.android     target$ ln -s /system/busybox/sh sh   5. Export              export PATH=$PATH:/system/busybox:/sbin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin `Step 3` is to install BusyBox, and `step 4` is to make BusyBox shell as default shell. But I am getting an error in the 3rd step. I want to make BusyBox shell as default shell, so I can run scripts on panda board. I appreciate any type of suggestions or solutions. Thanks in advance.


I have a Nexus 7 (2013) which comes with five homescreens, however I want to remove most of these but I'm unable to find an option to do so. Most of the sites I've looked on so far suggest simply tapping and holding on the homescreen, but this prompts me to change my wallpaper. How can you remove homescreens on the Nexus 7 (2013)?

title: Shortcut to enable / disable VoIP/SIP on Gingerbread?

text: Gingerbread comes with a cool SIP / VoIP integration. However, this feature drains the battery quite a bit. So I'm looking for a shortcut to enable SIP. So far, I always have to go deep into Settings to disable/enable it. Is there a cool shortcut, widget or app which helps to enable/disable the native SIP/VoIP-Feature of Android 2.3?


title: Process com,google.process.gapps stopped unexpectedly

text: Started getting this error in the last few days. It is stopping various things like Gmail, Market and Listen from syncing. I've read that it can be caused by bad data in records and that you should clear the data on the phone and then edit it on the server, but that's tricky if you don't know which item it is or even which app it is in. Any suggestions? I've switched it off/on several times. The error occurs when I do just about anything in Listen and can't get my Gmail up at all. Only thing I noticed is that one podcast was showing some error in Listen. Dropped it from the queue, but still getting the problem. HTC Tattoo on V1.6. Not rooted. No new apps added recently.

title: Does ADB push and pull work on non-rooted phones?

text: I just discovered about the command `adb push` and `adb pull` which supposedly lets people push and pull data from within the internal memory. Now my question is, can this be used on non-rooted phones? For example, i want to change the default camera shutter sound found on `/system/media/audio/camera/`, can I use adb to push and pull the audio files? And also, is this an act of rooting that could void my warranty? The main reason why I'm holding back on rooting was because I still had a full year before my warranty runs out.


title: How to change Exposure when it is not possible

text: If i understand correctly, exposure is the measure of lightness in a picture. In my phone, there are no settings by which I can set it manually (it does it automatically), I use to put my hand on camera and then remove it suddenly and take a shot to get higher exposure when needed. For low exposure I use to face camera towards a lights source then suddenly back to the point and take a shot. This is an ugly way to do it, is there any software or technique which can do that??

title: Can I get Skype on my HTC Wildfire in 3?

text: I recently got HTC Wildfire from 3. On the webpage & in shop they told me that I will be able to do Skype talks. After doing some research I found out that:   1. HTC Wildfire is not officilly supported   2. Some claims that installing the Skype from apk just works Hence I have following questions:   1. Is it legal to install Skype in such way (according to UK or English law)? On one hand it is advertised feature of phone (or at least it looks like it is) on the other hand Skype is propertary.   2. Which apk files I need?

title: Why does Play Store update twice in a row the same app to the same version?

text: Why does Play Store (formerly Android Market) mark for update twice in a row the same app to the same version? Here is a typical example of what happens. Yesterday I checked the My Apps section from Play Store, saw that version 3.5.1.1 of the Kindle app was available for update, and updated it. Today I checked the My Apps section again. Play Store showed as available for update the same 3.5.1.1 version of Kindle with the same release notes. I updated the app again. The same often happens with other apps, both on Android Market in the past and Play Store now. The second update is available the day after the first (I check daily for updates). In all cases the apps are correctly donwloaded and updated, and run fine. All my apps are set to manual update. I have an unrooted Nexus S running Android 2.3.6 and my phone carrier is Vodafone Italy. I have Play Store 3.4.7. The issue happens with both 3G and Wi-Fi.

title: Help understanding Whatsapp's permissions

text: Whatsapp has been nagging me for the past few days that I have to upgrade it to continue using it. With the Facebook acquisition and the Play Store no longer marking the permissions that are "NEW" separately, I'm on a toss up between an upgrade and an uninstall; I'm hoping further information about the permissions will help. First of all, does anyone know which permissions were added after Facebook's acquisition?   And among the permissions listed, what does "find accounts on this device" allow the app to do? Does "receive text messages" allow the app to read any existing or new incoming SMS messages? And as a minor curiosity, why would it need the "retrive running apps" list? Here's the permission list from the Play Store: > This app has access to: > > **In-app purchases** > > **Device & app history** > >   * retrieve running apps > > > **Identity** > >   * find accounts on the device >   * add or remove accounts >   * read your own contact card > > > **Contacts/Calendar** > >   * read your contacts >   * modify your contacts > > > **Location** > >   * approximate location (network-based) >   * precise location (GPS and network-based) > > > **SMS** > >   * receive text messages (SMS) >   * send SMS messages > > > **Phone** > >   * directly call phone numbers > > > **Photos/Media/Files** > >   * modify or delete the contents of your USB storage >   * test access to protected storage > > > **Camera/Microphone** > >   * record audio >   * take pictures and videos > > > **Wi-Fi connection information** > >   * view Wi-Fi connections > > > **Device ID & call information** > >   * read phone status and identity > > > **Other** > >   * receive data from Internet >   * read sync statistics >   * prevent device from sleeping >   * full network access >   * control vibration >   * run at startup >   * view network connections >   * connect and disconnect from Wi-Fi >   * use accounts on the device >   * create accounts and set passwords >   * modify system settings >   * read sync settings >   * toggle sync on and off >   * install shortcuts >   * uninstall shortcuts >   * read Google service configuration >   * change your audio settings >

title: Viber contacts out of date - not all contacts displayed in "All" tab

However, I'm sure that it's missing some of them. By simply going to Viber's "All" contacts tab I see missing entries. These entries appear in stock `Contacts` app. Viber is up to date to the latest version. These people told me that they have Viber and I can get calls from them (however they are detected as `Unknown`) How can I let Viber actually see all contacts in my address book?

text: I'm about to upgrade my Desire HD to ICS so that I can use the full disk encryption functionality. Does anyone know if its possible to still use the device as a removable disk when plugged in via a USB cable? If this is possible, am I right in assuming that the device will need to be unlocked with the PIN/password before being mounted (as this surely defeats the purpose of it, if you can access the SD card without unlocking)?

title: Can using too much RAM drain battery?

text: I'm really confused about Android memory management. I just read here that killing apps by swiping from recent list or using task killers won't save your battery but drain more because this cause the OS to load the apps all over again next time you launch it or startup by themselves. They also said the actually thing we should worry is CPU usage, not RAM usage. Is that mean using too much RAM doesn't drain battery? As RAM is a hardware, holding something on it shouldn't drain battery? What if I was playing Temple Run and just press home button so the app will load faster next time I launch? Or should we just press back button until the app exit as we always do? I've also searched the internet but some said it would drain battery as it sits on RAM, some said there is no difference between RAM holds actual data or nothing. Should we let go of our app-killing habit and just feel relax? Some precise answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)

text: My Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon) running 4.2.2 (with the VRUAME7 Build, so root is not an option currently) has both the WiFi and 4G/mobile data symbols in the notification bar, occasionally the mobile data symbol will go away, but it is there more often then not. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ckcKV.png) So I have read through this forum and it says that by turning off the Caller Name ID app that this should remove the mobile data from the notifications. I have done this and it has not removed the symbol. **Questions** My phone does not _seem_ to be using the mobile data, but I would like to know if it is in fact using the mobile data while connected to WiFi? Shouldn't/Does the mobile data turn off when connected to WiFi? If it does not turn off the mobile data, why not and can I fix this with Tasker? That is a HUGE waste of battery!
