title: Nexus 7 capacitive buttons and display

text: So both the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 have dynamic capacitive buttons instead of actual physical buttons. I was actually under the impression that this black bar was a separate capacitive display from the main display. Now that I actually see a Nexus 7 in person, this black bar appears to be just a part of the screen. So am I actually getting 1280x800 pixels?


title: mediascanner scan from system directory /data

text: How can I make mediascanner scan phone memory, i.e. the `/data` directory? I want to test playing MP3s from this directory. When I try to hack it by replacing the "pathStr" from `/mnt/sdcard` to `/data` before `MediaScanner::doProcessDirectory()`, it fails saying               W/MediaScanner( 1713): Error opening directory '/data/', skipping: Permission denied.      And also crashed (probably in free). I just want to play MP3s stored in phone memory and avoid reading the SD card for some experiments.


title: Why does android ignore my etc/hosts change in the browser?

text: I've remounted `/sys` as `rw`, added one entry to `etc/hosts` (e.g. `10.0.0.1 x.com www.x.com`) and rebooted my device. After rebooting, if I check `etc/hosts`, the entry is fine. If I ping `x.com`, it pings the correct IP address I entered. But, if I open a web browser (either stock or Dolphin), and browse to `x.com`, it'll go to the IP address the DNS resolves to. What's happening? (My phone is a Nexus One, which is running the custom Cyanogen 7.1 ROM based on android 2.3.7) Update:   On the app 'LAN Droid' I get the edited address (so `10.0.0.1`) just fine too. It seems like that it's only the browsers where it behaves wrongly.

Now when I was about to reinstall youtube with the latest version, I keep getting an error. So now my phone is stuck without a YouTube app. I even tried sideloading but it still fails to install.

title: New TF300 is not showing anything on the screen

text: I purchased an ASUS TF300 from Amazon and it arrived today. The manual says to charge it for 8 hours for optimal battery life, so I plugged it in and let it charge for a bit. The power button is now displaying a green light after about two hours of charging (it's still plugged in), and when I press the button the tablet's backlight comes on. However, the screen is blank - nothing is being displayed. I've tried forcing a reboot (holding the power button down for 8 seconds). The tablet makes a chiming noise and appears to reboot - based on the backlight turning off and then back on - but there is still nothing displayed on the screen. Any suggestions? Is it possible it's DOA?

I don't want to use a custom rom, but want to disable it via adb shell or a app. Thank you in advance!

title: Annoying contacts FC

text: I cope with a problem which more android users have to deal with. The well known android.process.acore fc or something similar. The constantly appearing fc notifications would be caused by your crashing contact list. However i cannot find a solution for this anywhere while many users have this problem. It is really annoying when you have to open whatsapp 3 times because the whole system freezes.. Isn't there a way to hide those notifications? I'm really getting sick of it.. Any help would be appreciated, if there's already a similar post, i would be thankful if you could refer me to it. Thans in advance! I've installed Android 4.1.2, Galaxy S Advance Edit: I've tried the options they give in force close wiki but reboot and reset obviously wouldn't help, and deleting contacts isn't the solution. When i really can't use those fc's at a moment i just temporalily freeze my contactlist but it is such a hassle to do everytime. i also tried to avoid the fc, but logcat is turned off and it doesn't help.


title: Fixing water damage in phone

text: I dropped my phone into some water, immediately removed battery and soaked in rice (all I had at work). The phone dried, but the keyboard (G2) had some bad keys that have never corrected, and there seems to be some kind of residue on the screen, and the backlight is not uniform across the whole thing. This all happened 2 months ago, but I would like to fix it. Question is: Do you think I could soak the phone in alcohol, and then dry it in an airtight container with Damp-Rid or silica gel or something similar to help fix the existing problems? Some people seem to think this would cause more damage, I would love to hear the reasoning why though, as alcohol evaps clean...

title: How to list my recently updated apps

text: I would like to be able to see a list of my apps sorted the date the app was last updated. Descending order is preferred, but honestly I'll take anything. One use case: Earlier today I had two apps show they needed an update. Neither was one that I use daily, but both were important enough to me that I knew I wanted to update. Unfortunately, my phone crashed shortly after the update and thus the notifications are gone. I cannot for the life of me remember what both apps were. (I blame my advancing age. I remembered one of them.) I know I wanted to check out the changes, but since I've no idea what app it was, I don't know where to look. I _could_ open up every one of my apps in the Play Store and look at the updated date, but I've get well over a hundred apps on here and that is impractical. Do you have a technique or know of an app that would help me?

I looked for a System menu in settings as I typically would find them in, but there isn't any.

How can I modify the quick settings menu in this case? Or, is there any custom ROMs for this device as a last resort?


title: What are the advantages of Android apps being single threaded?

text: I read a statement on http://developer.android.com that said: > When an application is launched, the system creates a thread of execution > for the application, called "main."

It is also the thread in which your > application interacts with components from the Android UI toolkit. The > system does not create a separate thread for each instance of a component. > All components that run in the same process are instantiated in the UI > thread, and system calls to each component are dispatched from that thread. I just wanted to know why Android has opted for this single threaded model architecture and not gone for multi-threaded. What are the advantages that they are getting out of this?

Yes      I flashed the new `Paranoid Android 4.4- BETA1` today and noticed my phone downloading something. I had not initiated any downloads, so I assumed it was just some app syncing. After about 3 minutes, it had downloaded around 50MB which seemed fishy. So, I assumed that the `Paranoid Android` build was buggy and switched back to 4.3-BETA2. However, the problem seemed to be infectious. On the 4.4-BETA1 build it was just one port which was used for downloading and it was the port for `com.google.uid.shared:10050`. However, now there are several ports which are downloading. They're all apparently in the foreground. Any idea how I can find which app introduced them and remove them? As a temporary solution I'm using a firewall. **Screenshots** ![screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Ftcgem.png) ![screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/3Ca1Qm.png) ![screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9Z1hHm.png)   Screenshots (click images for larger variants)


title: Accidentally cancelled update to 2.3 this morning; how do I get it back?

text: I woke up 2 hours ago and there was the message on my phone (HTC DROID Incredible) that a new update was available and that my phone would restart to download and install the update and of course I click the "Install" button, but the way I was holding my phone was odd and my palm accidentally hit the "Cancel" button as it was counting down to restart the phone and it only got down to 5. Now the update seems to have disappeared. When I go into `Settings > About phone > System updates` my phone says that my system is already up to date. I also tried doing that `*#*#CHECKIN#*#*` thing which did not do anything (it said I was checked in but the update didn't come back). I thought the update would have automatically popped back up after 30 minutes but it's been two hours and my phone seems to have no trace that the update was even sent to my phone.

I have these 2 apps installed on the SD card, so wonder if that's the problem - I don't have space to run them from the phone as that storage is very limited on the Desire... Any ideas if there's a setting of some sort that I can change so that it keeps my details?

The Tier 2 person looked up the issue in their system and said it was a known bug and that HTC is requesting all people with the bug not do a factory reset but instead call their tech support at 866-449-8358. I called them and they told me a fix (via OTA update) has been released and will upgrade the Android version to 4.08.605.2 (I currently have 4.06.605.3). Last night my phone did try to do another OTA update, but after restarting it complained that it could not install it due to low memory. The HTC rep told me to remove applications from the phone until the low memory warning went away, then dial the following number to force the phone to check for system updates (it normally only does it once a week or so):               *#*#2432546#*#*      I did this and still haven't received notification of a system update, but hopefully within a week I'll get pushed the new version... **Edit 4** : Called again (both HTC and Verizon) to see if there was any other way to force the update again, but they told me all I could do is try a factory reset.

Hopefully we can solve that with a community wiki. I've moved to here some of the information I've collected in trying to answer my earlier question about what Android phone is best for photography. Please contribute what you know, preferably with sources.

I have spotted that they're running an older OS version (2.1 for the 10" and 1.6 on the 7") but that doesn't normally stop companies charging a lot for a device.

I can select it and erase the address, but I am unable to get it to accept nothing as a location. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/YUmX4.png) **Is there any way I can tell Google Now that I no longer have a work location?** So far I've tried:   1. Clearing the `Google Search` app data and cache but my incorrect work setting still remains.   2. Telling it that I no longer wanted to be notified about getting to work but it applied that setting to all my calendar appointments and I stopped getting any notifications for anything in my diary.   3. Setting my work location to the same as my home. I still get notifications for going to work, except that they now happen at 9am and tell me that it'll take me 0 minutes to get there.   4. Launching Google Maps on my phone, pressing the user icon (next to the directions button to the right of the search field), tapping and holding `Work`, clearing the field and submitting it. Although Google Maps now says `Enter work address` (implying that the field is empty) this change isn't reflected in Google Now as it still shows my work address. Anything else I can do?

title: Determing SIM/network/carrier lock status in software

text: Is there a way to determine if a Galaxy S3 (i747, running 4.1 JB, stock ROM, but with root) is currently carrier locked in software (i.e. without needing to obtain and insert a different network's SIM). Apparently there used to be a USSD code to do this (*#SIMLOCK#), but that appears to no longer work.


title: A tool for semi-automatic merging of contacts?

text: An android newbie here --- I've recently got my first Android phone (HTC Desire S) and I'm trying to clean up a mess of my contacts from a sim card (three of them, in fact). For example, a certain Edward Bloggs might have several entries:   * Edward Bloggs @london, mob   * Eddie B @london, home [it's his nickname, we all call him Eddie B]   * Eddie @hawaii [he's got a vacation home in there, and... er... who likes paying roaming charges anyway] All these are in the 'first name' field or split randomly by the phone into the first, middle and last names.    * there are, of course, google entries from me sending emails to both his work and personal emails. Now, the question is --- is there a tool which can aid in merging these contacts? Preferably something where one could select which ones to merge. Anything short of exporting all contacts onto a PC and manually editing the vcf files would be great.


title: Stylish for Android?

text: I've occasionally used Stylish to improve usability of websites on the PC. Is there an equivalent for Android - either plugin to FireFox, the default browser (mine is a Galaxy Note), or other.

title: Font rendering problem in ICS 4.0.4

Is that a font problem?


title: Use Galaxy S2 / S3 as router for PC lan gaming

text: I have a computer with no network interfaces (the only one it had went faulty). My friend's PC's network interfaces are working fine. We want to play PC LAN games, but when I set my Galaxy phone to tether / hotspot mode, the IP of the PC connected via WIFI hotspot is out of range of the PC connected via USB tethering (the one IP is on 192.168.42.n and the other IP is on 192.168.43.n), and as such we cannot get our PC's to communicate. Is there a way to force a Galaxy S2 or S3 to put the tethering and hotspot IP's within range of each other? Our phones are rooted.

title: HTC Desire and GPS - how does it work?

text: I'm curious as to how the GPS works on the phone? In particular, what impacts does putting the phone in my pocket/bag have on the GPS signal? Reason I ask is, I've recently installed the CardioTrainer app on my HTC Desire to record my workouts and I've realised that sometimes the GPS tracking "jumps" a lot - ie. CardioTrainer will record several partial segments during a jog, mainly because I seem to lose GPS signal every now and then. I've noticed that this generally happens when I put the phone in my pocket or bag, and happens much less if I'm holding the phone while jogging/walking. Though many times it also works well even though the phone is in my pocket or bag. Note: In general when I use GPS, I have clear view of the sky (though of course, if the phone is in my bag, it technically can't 'see' the sky)


title: What settings does Sprint Gingerbread (2.3) update reset?

title: The music player keeps displaying deleted songs. How do I remove them or refresh the library?

text: I am using a Droid X with rooted Gingerbread that is otherwise stock. I have root access, but have not used it to do anything. I have inspected the /Music folder multiple times and the 500+ songs I deleted are physically not in the filesystem any more. I tried rebooting the phone multiple times. I tried deleting the Cache and data for the app in Settings > Application, as well as running SDrescan to remount and rescan the card. I even tried deleting them from the music player app itself. No matter what I try, these songs will not disappear. (Though they obviously fail when I try to play them because they don't exist) Is there a file where the Music library cache is being kept that isn't getting updated? I would love to find it and just delete it. I also use Songbird for Android, and it had the same problem. New songs show up, but the old ones will not go away at all. Though, now Songbird won't even load at all. Sometimes loading it causes the phone to reboot. I have currently uninstalled it. In addition, it causes the phone to become very unstable whenever I try to play music. Accidentally playing a non-existent song can cause the phone to crash and get stuck on a black screen, requiring a battery pull and reboot.

title: Nexus 4 does not perceive touch in a line

text: I bought a Nexus 4 (LG E960) yesterday, and from the first moment there was a problem that it did not accept touch in the line of the volume down button. In a horizontal line, half a centimeter (1/5 inch) high, in the full width of the screen. If I tried to click in the line, it happened above or below. If I tried to slide a widget through the barrier, there was a visible jump. If I tried to sroll a list, it was interpeted as scroll-stop-click. So a random list item was selected. Quite disturbing. I was sure it was a hardware problem, because the line was at the same place when I held the phone horizontally. Then suddenly the problem was gone, scrolling, sliding was smooth again. For 2 hours. This morning the line was misbehaving again. Now it works fine. I have no idea what triggers the bad behavior, and what stops it. What could I do? If I take it back to the shop, they will sit on it for a week, and they might not even encounter the problem, much less solve it. Did anyone have similar problems?


title: What might Opera be searching for to determine that my device doesn't have an SD card?

text: I just rooted a B&N Nook Glowlight and installed Opera Mobile. When I try to download an APK from e.g. Github, Opera Mobile gives an error: > A memory card is needed for file downloads. Please insert one and try again. This device does not have a memory card slot, so I've symlinked `/sdcard` to another directory. How does Opera Mobile know that this isn't a real SD card? How can I 'fake it' or work around this? It seems that other users are finding that other apps are affected as well, even though some apps do seem to accept this symlink as if it were a real SD card.


title: Can I move apps to internal USB storage?

text: I have a Samsung Galaxy S. I am getting a "Low on space - Internal phone storage is getting low" error. When I go to Manage Applications it shows the internal memory as 1.9GB used, 6.0 MB Free. When I click "On SD Card" it shows "USB Storage 681 MB Used, 13 GB Free". There is no external SD card in the device. When I select an app and click "Move to SD Card" it just returns the following error: Failed to move application. Not enough memory. Is there any way I can move the apps to the internal USB memory? * * * Update: I've reset the phone to factory settings so no longer get the error about space getting low and internal storage is almost empty. I've installed a couple of apps and still get the same error when I try migrate them to USB storage.


Being multilingual, I find it very useful to configure Accept-Languages in my web browser so that web sites present their content in languages in my preferred order. I have done so for FireFox and Chrome on the desktop through the GUI, easy: http://stackoverflow.com/a/19493313, and I was able to configure it for FireFox mobile through the about:config interface, a bit more involved and may be scary to computer illiterate but do-able: http://stackoverflow.com/a/7770645. How do you configure custom Accept-Languages to Chrome and Android browser? I went through all the options in the settings and preference part of the UI and can't find language settings. The Android system setting allow me to configure multiple input languages but there are no setting for Accept-Languages.

title: Play DVDs on an android device (preferably Google TV) AS DVDs (no conversions, please)

text: I saw these two questions: Can android phones play DVD-format movies over WIFI? And how to watch DVDs on my Captivate However, neither of these questions address what I would like to do. I have a collection of DVDs I own and have ripped and would like to play on my Android device. I want them to play on my Android device _exactly like a DVD_ \-- with menus, etc. I can easily do this on my PC with various DVD playing software (i.e. VLC Media Player). I do _not_ want to convert the file to divx or mp4 or whatever. (as the answers to those questions suggest) I do not want to lose the menuing and the scene-selection, etc. Instead, I want a full 4.5 GB rip stored on my hard drive and I want to "point at that" (and over the network to boot). Is this possible today?


title: android "market place" hangs on start up

text: I have Samsung Galaxy s2. After setting up a Google account on my phone and using android market for first time, it shows a notification about removing "market place" application and replace it with "play store". (I live in Iran and Google does not allow me to use play store features). So, I bought a vpn account from Germany, connect to it and download and update to play store. Everything is okay.   After 3 months of using my phone, everything was fine. Last week I restored my phone and all data has been removed. And after setting up a Google account I tried to update market place to play store. But problem is, when I try to start market place, it hangs on start screen, and just show white screen with loader in center of display, after 20 seconds it closed and returned to home screen.   I tried to connect with vpn connection (I thought it's because of country restriction again, but recently my country changed the laws and closed any connections like pptp, l2tp, https, ipsec. Now I just connect with my real ip)   Any help, any comment, any way to update and connect to play store?


title: Best way for a COMPLETE backup? [Rooted Nexus 4 with stock ROM]

text: I did a huge amount of googling but the information out there is overwhelming and I either have to get a 1:1 reply on this or try and test different options - which would suck if I fail. Basically I got a Nexus 4 a few days ago, and I rooted it, staying with the same ROM. Right now there are lots of apps, customisations, user settings, custom desktops and saved passwords/account information. How can I make a 100% backup of all the information so that it's 1:1 with what my phone is right now when I do a restore? I have made an 'adb backup -apk -shared -all -f' and a clockworkmod recovery backup, I also have the Titanium Backup app, but all of these seem to cover different parts of data to be backed up. Is there a one-stop solution? Thank you!

I have tried completely uninstalling, then restarting and reinstalling. Same result. Also tried clearing the cache/settings in App manager. No luck there either. Does anyone have any other ideas I could try? I use Drive heaps for my business and personal use (separate accounts) so it's driving me nuts not being able to switch between them!

title: Why is the Android stock browser still alive?

text: The Stock browser in Android has not been actively supported, and Google Chrome is actively developed and uses modern technologies unlike it's predecessor. Yet, the stock browser still has 22.77% of the market share on mobile devices, which is more than Chrome for Android. With it's inferior support for modern web technologies and unfairly large market share, the Stock browser is quickly becoming the modern IE6. But for some reason it is still often included as a default browser on new devices. Are there any advantages this browser has, from the user or business perspective, that might be the reason why it hasn't been phased out altogether in favour of Chrome through the automatic update process, or at least no longer selected as a default browser? Is there any reason for keeping the mammoth alive?

text: Very frustrated so please forgive the rant. I've given up searching Google because despite well written search queries such as "How do I move everything from my SD card to my phone" or "How do I get rid of my SD card" I get results that all have to do with moving stuff TO my SD card FROM my phone.

title: Clearing app data without waiting for it to be counted

text: When I need to clear an app's data, the "Clear Data" button is greyed out until Android has finished counting how much of it there is. Sometimes it never completes, and I need to force quit Settings and try again. This is, obviously, a complete pain. Given that I don't care how much data the app has stored — I just want it to be zero bytes — is there a way to force Android to enable the button and let me clear the app data without waiting for it to be counted first? (I have a Nexus 7, which updated to 4.2 pretty sharply after I got it, so I don't know if this is a 4.2 bug or a poor design decision which has been around for ages…)

title: WiFi Error: "Failed to connect to network"

text: Intermittently, when I try to connect to a WiFi network, I get the following error message as a toast message: > Failed to connect to network The message pops up immediately upon attempting to connect, so clearly it isn't trying and failing. I haven't found any mention of an error in the logs. The affected networks are ones that I've previously connected to with no change in settings. **How can I figure out what the problem is?** I've got a rooted Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.1.1 and the stock ROM. This question is related to another question that I posted earlier, but this one is more about how to find the source of a particular error message, so its focus is different. # Additional Details Here are some more details based on the comments:   * I've observed this on my home and work networks. One is identified as WPA2 PSK and the other is identified as WPA/WPA2 PSK.   * I haven't powered off the phone as described in the troubleshooting guide mentioned in the comments. However, I have rebooted to no avail (using the reboot command that's available on rooted phones).   * Forgetting the network and re-adding it has no effect. In fact, if I forget the network I can no longer successfully re-add it.   * The wireless password hasn't changed.   * There's no proxy configured when I'm on wireless. However, I run Onavo Extend when I'm on a data connection. Disabling it has no effect.   * I've switched from DHCP to static IP addresses. Doing so reduced the frequency of problems and seems to have eliminated my earlier issue where wifi would be randomly dropped.   * Wifi sleep is set to "Only when plugged in." I don't think it's relevant because my issue is establishing a connection in the first place (such as when I arrive at home or at work), not maintaining one. Note that despite all these troubleshooting steps, **my initial goal is to find an actual error message or log entry that gives useful information about the problem.**

If so it's a an annoying shortcoming. ![97e1f2f089651ee144554bd7a6bb26d19f4d3d10_0&sa=X&ei=AKzTTr- kG8LZtgfl8sSqDQ&ved=0CAQQ8wc&usg=AFQjCNHTgy-t9Yak9mEX13mIalbB6uEmjw](http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/579/43756996.png) ps: All the screenshots of this software show it using a PIN code, but since I synced it with Dropbox it's asking me to put in the same long password that I use on the computer. Is that normal or can I use a shorter pin code on the phone? ![Picture.png](http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/7972/picturegg.png)


title: How do I increase audio sound on my app for recording phone calls?

text: I have an Echo phone and downloaded an app for recording phone calls, both received and made myself. When it records, my voice is very loud, but you can barely hear the other line unless it is on speaker phone. Is there a way of increasing there level without using speaker? I record phone interviews I do and it is much easier just using the headset and not using the speakerphone...cuts out parts of our conversation.


title: Internal storage missing: Nexus 7 16G down to 5.8G TOTAL

text: My Nexus 7 now believes it has only 5G internal storage. It's shown in storage properties. I noticed it after factory reset, and then a 4.3 update (I remember getting 4.3 OTA update twice, is it possible?) I installed ClockworkMod recovery (back when it was on 4.2), but never rooted it. No storage space analyzers show hidden files or such. Rebooting doesn't change anything. I found /sdcard/0 directory with a content of my previous sdcard before a factory reset, deleting it freed some space, but total is still at 5.8G. I found one complaint about a similar situation, but it's drowned in a simpler problems and was never answered. `df` output:               Filesystem               Size     Used     Free   Blksize     /dev                   487.4M    32.0K   487.3M   4096     /mnt/secure            487.4M     0.0K   487.4M   4096     /mnt/asec              487.4M     0.0K   487.4M   4096     /mnt/obb               487.4M     0.0K   487.4M   4096     /system                639.8M   515.7M   124.1M   4096     /cache                 436.0M     7.3M   428.7M   4096     /data                    5.9G     2.7G     3.2G   4096     /mnt/shell/emulated      5.9G     2.7G     3.2G   4096     /mnt/asec/com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime-1     2.0M    84.0K     1.9M   4096     /mnt/asec/com.loudcrow.goodnightmoon-1     5.0M     3.4M     1.6M   4096      `cat /proc/partitions` output:               major minor  #blocks  name        7        0       2111 loop0        7        1       5229 loop1      179        0    7467008 mmcblk0      179        1      12288 mmcblk0p1      179        2       8192 mmcblk0p2      179        3     665600 mmcblk0p3      179        4     453632 mmcblk0p4      179        5        512 mmcblk0p5      179        6      10240 mmcblk0p6      179        7       5120 mmcblk0p7      179        8        512 mmcblk0p8      179        9    6302720 mmcblk0p9      179       32       2048 mmcblk0boot1      179       16       2048 mmcblk0boot0      254        0       2110 dm-0      254        1       5229 dm-1      `mount` output:               rootfs / rootfs ro,relatime 0 0     tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,seclabel,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0     devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,seclabel,relatime,mode=600 0 0     proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0     sysfs /sys sysfs rw,seclabel,relatime 0 0     selinuxfs /sys/fs/selinux selinuxfs rw,relatime 0 0     debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs rw,relatime 0 0     none /acct cgroup rw,relatime,cpuacct 0 0     tmpfs /mnt/secure tmpfs rw,seclabel,relatime,mode=700 0 0     tmpfs /mnt/asec tmpfs rw,seclabel,relatime,mode=755,gid=1000 0 0     tmpfs /mnt/obb tmpfs rw,seclabel,relatime,mode=755,gid=1000 0 0     none /dev/cpuctl cgroup rw,relatime,cpu 0 0     /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/APP /system ext4 ro,seclabel,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0     /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/CAC /cache ext4 rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,errors=panic,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,nomblk_io_submit,data=ordered 0 0     /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/UDA /data ext4 rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,errors=panic,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,nomblk_io_submit,data=ordered 0 0     /dev/fuse /mnt/shell/emulated fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0     /dev/block/dm-0 /mnt/asec/com.teslacoilsw.launcher.prime-1 ext4 ro,dirsync,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1 0 0     /dev/block/dm-1 /mnt/asec/com.loudcrow.goodnightmoon-1 ext4 ro,dirsync,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1 0 0


title: Android runs ON Linux?

text: I bought an Android PC from Amazon and found it booted Linux then booted Android. I mean literally booted Linux (penguins splash), then booted Android (Android splash). I contacted the vendor asking this particular question, and he stated: > The mini PC has the Linux bootup first as Android runs on top of Linux I have tried googling and searching Super User for an answer, but have so far found nothing. I know Android uses the Linux kernel to some extent, but is that statement correct? Is this common for an android device? If this is a false statement, should I be worried about 3rd party applications running on the Linux OS at boot?

How can I determine the hostname that my Android device assigns to the other machine, so that I can connect using that instead? (Right now the specifics happen to be using JuiceSSH to connect to an Ubuntu 13.10 laptop running sshd and mosh-server, but I'd like to learn a general approach that is not client or target specific. Ideally, a system-level Android command.)

title: Disable phone calls while in certain apps

text: I have lots of games on my phones, and they tend to have to restart when an incoming call comes in, even while hitting the Ignore button. Is there a way, on a rooted stock Android phone to set certain apps to _block_ incoming calls, so the foreground app does not get interrupted? I am aware of Airplane mode, but that would require me to wait for it to activate, then turn my WiFi/Mobile Data back on, then go into the game, then remember to turn it back off. Optionally, if I could set one or two phone numbers that _could_ interrupt (i.e. Work or the spouse), that would be awesome too. My goal is that my phone knows not to disturb me if I'm in the middle of a game, without hitting 3 or 4 buttons before launching into the game, and remembering to disable something after leaving the game.


title: How can I toggle email notification setting on/off?

text: I use my phone for emergency notification of critical systems 24/7. So when I sleep, I can't just put my phone on "Silent", I must mute only my eMail notification (which I do need on when I'm not sleeping). In this way, SMS emergency messages always go through. But to do this, I have to press: , , , , and then a silent ring tone. Is there not a simple toggle? I've tried to make use of apps "MyProfile" and "Notification Toggle", but they don't offer toggles into the eMail system settings. I am using a new Samsung Galaxy Victory Model SPH-L300 with Android V4.1.2. How do I get to toggle the notification of incoming email?

title: Accessing android device via ADB shell with broken touchscreen (can't authenticate)

text: So, the touchscreen on my Nexus 4 broke this weekend. I have a new device coming in, but in the meantime I need to be able to access the device to use a few different apps and send/receive some SMS messages from it. I found this guide on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1r2zha/how_i_managed_to_use_my_android_device_with_a/ It's not exactly simple, but it should work. Unfortunately, I discovered that in order to use ADB shell commands, a pop-up window should appear on the phone to allow/disallow USB debugging. (USB debugging is enabled already, but there appears to be an additional 'authentication' step) Unfortunately, I can't use the phone's touchscreen, so I can't unlock it or tap the notification that will allow me to authenticate the phone. Is there a way I can get around that authentication step? The device is unlocked and rooted.


title: Is there a user accessible font size preference?

text: I would like to change the font size throughout the entire operating system, not just in one app or on one screen. Is there a way to do this? Searching the internet brought up someone saying the Spare Parts app on the Market can do this, but that was incorrect. Its font size preference only affects the app itself. The developer documentation does seem to imply there is a user font size preference. From http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/resources/more- resources.html : > sp Scale-independent Pixels - this is like the dp unit, but it is also > scaled by the user's font size preference. But it does not say anything about how a user is supposed to set this. I don't see it in the settings on the phones I have.

title: Configure Play Store to download temporary files to SD Card

text: I find that every time I start to update an application using Google Play, my phone's internal memory starts to run out (i.e. the Play app downloads temporary files to internal memory). In a number of cases, the size of the update is quite large and I end up with less than 10% free space left which corrupts the installers and I end up with no update. :( Is it possible to in any way instruct Google Play to use my SD card (which has over 10GB free space) as the temporary location instead of the space- constrained internal memory? As much as possible, I'd like to do this _without_ having to root my device.

text: Is it possible to print from an Android device (specifically an Asus eeePad Transformer) without going via the cloud? The ideal is to do it without going via a PC as well, as I'd rather not have to keep switching a machine on just to print. My only idea at the moment is something like ePrint or PrinterShare on the eeePad and then print via a print server. Using a PC is one option - do any of the apps work with a Samba print share or something Linux-based? The other alternative is an Edimax print server to make the printer available on the network (either wired or wireless). Will it work? Will any Android apps be able to print like that? Are there any better ways to do it with a USB laser printer? Thanks.

I thought the security sandbox apps run in was supposed to prevent an app from causing the entire phone to reboot. My phone provider wants to blame apps for the phone reboots. I just want to know if this is legitimate, or if the reboots should ultimately be attributed to an android or handset manufacturer problem.

I am of the opinion that if I change a phone setting, I want to do it, and I am sure of it. I don't want to confirm every thing I do with the settings every single time (maybe the first time I do it on the phone, but not forever). For example:   * On Jelly Bean, if I enable GPS via the quick settings, it would just enable. With Kit Kat, every time I enable it via quick settings, I have to confirm twice that this is what I want to do (once for "Location consent" and again for Google's location service). Since I like to leave GPS off until I need it to save battery (such as for my traffic app), this gets annoying really fast   * Another example that bugged me with Jelly Bean is the same on Kit Kat: every time I want to reset the phone, I have to confirm it   * Turning off mobile data warns me that I will not be able to use apps that require a data connection. I know this. I don't need to confirm this every time I want to disable data   * Airplane mode produces a dialog stating that I will be unable to make or receive calls with it on. Again, I know this. I don't need to be reminded every time   * Oddly enough, enabling/disabling Bluetooth does not produce such nags. I was wondering if there is any way (mod, app, hack) to turn off these confirmation dialogs. Thanks in advance for any insight.


title: Dell Streak's screen cracked - what are my options?

text: _I hope this question is being asked in the right place - it's not a question about the Android OS, but it is about Android hardware. Please move it if it's better off on SuperUser._ I have just dropped my Dell Streak 5", and the screen has cracked. ![a cracked screen](http://i.stack.imgur.com/pnyyK.jpg) I have a couple questions:   1. I have heard amazing things about Gorilla Glass - the machine is under a year old, has anyone else managed to get the screen replaced under the warranty because Gorilla Glass is supposed to be so strong? Then again, it could be that the screen under the Gorilla Glass is cracked...   2. Is the screen actually replaceable or is this effectively a brick?


title: Lookout - Which application is trying to access the system with no authorization

text: Is there any log where I can check which unknown source app is trying to access the phone without authorization? Lookout keeps popping up this message but don't tell me which application is! It happens whenever I connect to Wi- fi/3G. The application says that everything is normal after a scan. I don't want to remove all applications installed from unknown sources! I couldn't get the message in english just switching the phone language, it only shows partially in english: ![English Message](http://i.stack.imgur.com/sbmw1.png) ![Portuguese Message](http://i.stack.imgur.com/CfiZp.png)


title: How do I *really* disable autocorrection?

text: I am experiencing this on a Droid2 Global running Froyo, but it was happening on a Droid Pro as well. It did not happen on my Droid running Cyanogen or stock Froyo. When I'm typing in the gTalk app or using Tweetcaster, my text is auto- corrected. Even when I have auto-correct turned off in the keyboard settings. I use a lot of shorthand, and this gives rise to interesting conversations some times as auto-correct turns abbreviations like "DX" and "D2" into "PD" and similar silliness. So, the question is: Is there more than one setting for auto-correct? If so, where is it hidden. _It seems to be global since more than one app suffers from it._


title: Anyway to speed up Android 4.0.4 (ICS) on our VPN?

text: Doing mobile development here, testing on various iOS and Android devices/versions. iPhone 5 over our VPN is excellent, get page refreshes right away. Android 4.0.4 is brutally slow! Anyone know of anything I can try to increase the response time? Here are the details of the phone:   * Motorola Droid   * Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich)   * Using stock browser, "Browser" (at least I think that's the stock ICS browser)   * VPN type is IPSec Xauth PSK I can't tell you anything about the network/VPN (nor can I change anything there), I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do on the device itself to speed things up.

title: CM7 Dialer Problems

text: I am currently running CM7 on an HTC Desire HD. When I make a call, CM7's dialer for some reason has the **hold** button right where the side of my face touches the phone. I have tried to use tasker to make the screen lock and have a timeout of one second when I answer the phone or call someone, but this didn't work. Is there a way to fix this or are there custom dialers out there that changes the look of this screen??

title: Removing the USB storage is removed notification

text: My Moto G has USB OTG mass storage drivers - I can use a USB drive with a standard USB-OTG dongle for extra temporary storage. This is _awesome_ except for one thing -after I properly unmount and remove the USB drive I seem to be unable to dismiss the USB storage is removed notification until I reboot the phone. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZC837m.png) Thats the notification I get. I can't slide to dismiss, and tapping on it throws me back into the home screen I also have this little icon on top when I'm looking at other things ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/98eSdm.png) I'm running a Moto G XT1033 (8GB Asian edition) with the 4.4.2 update. I'm using a standard USB OTG adaptor with different USB drives, and as I said, have properly unmounted the drive (there's an error message if I'd been silly enough to do that). I've not rooted the phone in any way, and USB OTG mass storage support is natively supported. Is there any way I can dismiss this notification _without_ restarting my phone?
