title: SD Card Multiple partitions USB access

text: I want to split my SD cart in 2 partitions: one for android, and one containing a bootable OS used from computers through USB or by inserting in card readers. I can't access the second partition from USB! Specs:   * Phone: motorola defy+   * System: CynogenMod 10 (android 4.1.2)   * SD Card layout:      1. Primary FAT32, 1Gb, intended for android only (apps data)     2. Primary EXT4, 15Gb, invisible from android intended for computers (bootable linux system) Current status:   * Everything works with a laptop SD card reader: I can mount and browse both FAT32 and EXT4 partiations. I can boot from the SD card and boot to the linux I installed on the ext partition.   * From the phone: android can mount and access the FAT32 partition, the ext4 partition is invisible just like I want.   * Problem from USB: When accessing the card in the phone from a computer through USB (android is configured as USB mass storage device), I can only access the FAT32 partition. My question: Android seems to be exposing only the first partition as a block device through USB. Therefore I can't access the second partition, or even see it with partitioning tools. Obviously, booting from it also doesn't work. Can I make Android to expose the full SD card as a block device through USB, so that all partitions are visible from a computer and I can boot on it. Any help or pointers appreciated, thanks!


title: Battery life indicator has failed

text: A week or two ago my battery life indicator for my Motorolla Atrix 4G has ceased to working properly. The indicator indicates the battery drains ridiculous fast and it's inaccurate. I'll fully charge it and after unplugging it for an hour or so, the indicator is down to 1%. It remains at 1%, though, for up to a day. Taking steps to avoid draining my battery is a separate discussion that doesn't have to do with this topic. I specifically need to know what I should do about an inaccurate battery life indicator. Is there a way to reset the indicator? Should I contact Motorolla or is this a software issue? Thanks in advance! Edit: The first thing I tried was replacing the battery with a new one. This did nothing to resolve the problem.


title: Location History Accuracy?

text: Ok, I have a big problem! My fiance says he was at lunch while google location history shows that for over an hour he was in the hotel next door to the restaurant. He has a Galaxy 3. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/XIOjt.jpg) The dots at the bottom of the screen are from the restaurant and the dots up at the top are the hotel. None of the blue circles from the 2 locations run into one another either. How likely is it that this is inaccurate?


title: Google location history wildly inaccurate

text: I may have set a new world record in travel according to Google location history. I've noted that on Wed, 18th March 2014 I was in Sydney at 5:28pm, then in Sale Morocco at 6:06pm, then back in Sydney at 6:08pm. At this rate, I have travelled (according to google) 11,169 miles each way in about half an hour. Also, I note on the 20th March 2014 that I did it again, this time:   5:25pm Sydney   5:27pm Jakarta   5:29pm Sydney   5:31pm Jakarta   5:44pm Sydney Now I know that google uses GPS satellites, Wi-Fi networks and the Cell networks to locate my location, but can it get the language, country and continent wrong all at once?


title: Why does my android phone think it was in Japan?

text: According to google.com/locationhistory, I was in Tokyo in February. It could be that I had so much saké I'm forgetting something important, but as far as I know I've never been to Japan. Other questions on inaccurate location history seem mostly related to minor inaccuracies because of phone connecting to nearby WiFi points. But what technical issue could cause the location to be off by ~6000 miles? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/BtH61.png)


title: Google Location history showing me in another continent? Did someone hack me?

text: I've just found out about Google Location history and it correctly displays all the places I've been to in Bolivia to-a-T. Really accurate. What concerns me is that there is a dot in Beking, Singapore! I've never been anywhere near that country. Not even 2000 miles near. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Pwdjk.png) My question is, if someone logged into my account from that country, would that dot load from there? Should I change my passwords ASAP? Thanks


title: HTC One Google Location History. Shoudl i be worried?

text: This question is regarding Google location maps. My Girlfriend recently travelled to San Francisco. The first picture shows a time stamp at her hotel. The next pictures shows her location to just down the street two hours later after she told me she was going to bed. then a couple hours later a little closer to her hotel and finally back at her hotel just before she had to leave for her plane departure at 7am. The first few pictures shows the blue dot pretty small and only covers the location pinged, but after a few second the blue dot grows and covers all three locations. I'm wondering if this is just her phone picking up on other Wi-Fi signals. It got me a little worried so I looked at the prior week when she was with me and throughout the entire night it shows her at my place and no where else, it also doesn't show any updates in the middle of the night. My other question is, when does Google maps location know to log your locations? when phone is turned on, messages coming on? Is this something I should be questioning or worried about with her based off these findings? She has an HTC one ![](http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/ag426/andrew_gonzalez2/photo1_zpse094292f.jpg) ![](http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/ag426/andrew_gonzalez2/photo4_zpsdde305c0.jpg) ![](http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/ag426/andrew_gonzalez2/photo3_zps871d9e0c.jpg) ![](http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/ag426/andrew_gonzalez2/photo2_zps01f90155.jpg)


title: Google maps location History is placing me in a different hotel

text: My wife thinks that when I am on a business trip I stay at a different hotel than I told her, I stayed at a bar all night and left my car at the corporate office over night. All of this is from looking at Google location history. From reading questions and answers posted here I think that I have some understanding of what is going on. Please review my explanation and critique/correct. I need to be able to explain it to my wife so that it makes sense to her and gives some credibility to my explanations. My understanding of how Google location history works:   * Location services uses GPS, Wifi and cell I.D. to formulate your location.   * In order to save power it will use the least power hungry of the three options for determining your location.   * If your location is within the blue circle then Location history will not change your location i.e. show you in a restaurant all night if your hotel is also within the blue circle.   * Location services doesn't necessarily show your exact route... It will show a Wifi hotspot or cell tower that it "hits" and the "route" that you use will include these various locations. These locations will show that you have been to a variety of places that you never visited. Thank you for you help. It is very important to my wife and I that we get this cleared up.

title: How can I change the lock screen on my Galaxy Note 2?

text: I got myself a new note 2 last night, and I'm trying to configure it. It's my first android device, so I'm not sure how the system works in some respects. I came from Windows Phone 7, and there were a few nice features on that phone that I find I'm missing - namely the ability to see upcoming calendar events on my lock screen, as well as the number of emails/texts/whatever I have waiting, and the number of calls that I missed. I found a couple of potential lockscreen apps on google play, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to enable them. There appears to be no option in my settings. Using android 4.1.2 - don't know if that's the latest version available for me, but I did update last night, presumably from 4.0.

title: Automatically Install apps after factory reset

text: I'd like to know how I can set up my android 4.1.2 (Galaxy S2 I 9100) that it will install all my apps in the Play Store (the one you can see when you click "my apps").   I think it was CM 10.1 where it worked sometimes and in stock rom I did not noticed it.   Is there a way to configure my Galaxy S2 so I don't have to install the apps manually?   I hope I asked clearly enough ;)   Thanks so far !      Edit: I reseted my phone, logged into samsung account to google account.   I always allowed to back up and restore my data. But the apps haven't been installed automatically.   And that was the only thing I tried. I did not try any ADB recoveries. And I did not use any backup third party apps or the stock rom backup.   I hope this information is enough. I fnot please tell me what information you additionally need!   Thank you again!


title: Continue using app after developer refunds purchase?

text: I'm an app developer and wondering about refunding purchases. I use Google's standard License Check library. If a user requests a refund and I refund the entire purchase price, does that prevent them from passing the license check? Or do they get to keep using the app after I refund the money?

text: I'm on 4.0.3, trying to listen to music. YouTube is destroying my battery life. I always need to charge my phone at work. If I save the battery, I can work more efficiently, though. Any way to have the best of both worlds? On iPhone, you can double tap home and press the play triangle, but that doesn't work on my smart phone. Any ideas?


title: Upgrade Cyanogenmod from 9.1 to 10.1 without losing information?

text: I am running Cyanogenmod 9.1 on my Samsung Galaxy SII, and would like to upgrade to version 10.1. Is there a way to do this upgrade without wiping all my apps and settings from my phone? If not, is there a good backup strategy (what should I backup, and how) for relatively easy restoration after upgrading the Cyanogenmod rom? Thank you.


title: How to edit init.rc in Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300?

text: I would like to edit the init.rc in an i9300. I understand that editing the file as-is will not work as the file is reloaded from the boot image's ramdisk upon every bootup. After some googling, I read that I have to unpack, edit and repack the boot image. I came across the following link: http://android- dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO%3a_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images However, upon trying out the first command "cat /proc/mtd", I realize that my i9300 doesn't even have a /proc/mtd, so I'm wondering if any of the instructions there apply to this device. /dev/block shows mmcblk0p1 to mmcblk0p12, but I'm not sure which one is the boot image. From my googling it seems that mmcblk0p6 is the recovery image though. How can I edit the init.rc in this device? Thanks!


title: Will the AT&T HTC Aria Froyo (2.2) official upgrade solve the Bluetooth reset issue? will it allow free tethering as the unofficial 2.2?

text: Hi I couldn't wait and dowloaded the 2.2 upgrade for my AT&T HTC Aria just to find out the official one came one a few weeks later. The only reason I want to upgrade is the Bluetooth reset bug (phone reboots / resets after walking away from a bluetooth source, e.g. when I exit the car while using Vlingo (with car handsfree), my phone resets! **So my quetions are**   1. What is the best way to solve the Bluetooth reset issue? Will the official upgrade fix it?   2. Assuming most chances it will, will it hurt my phone in any way? (will it unroot it? will it block tethering?)


title: Is it possible for my HTC Desire to interupt my iPod when I receive a call?

text: I frequently miss incoming telephone calls because I am listening to my iPod Touch and I don't feel it vibrate. Does anyone know if it's possible for my HTC Desire to somehow notify me of the call via my headphones? I've seen bluetooth connection devices that purport to do this (such as the GEAR4 BluEye), but they are several years old now. However given that this kind of hardware exists, and that the Desire and the iPod Touch have Bluetooth built-in, I wondered if there was an app or setting that would enable the phone and iPod to work together in this way?

title: Why does my calendar always open to the wrong date?

text: I'm using the native calendar app that came installed on my HTC Sensation. No matter which view I use (one day, week, month, or agenda) it always opens to a date about two weeks in the past. Even when creating new events, the initial date is incorrect. I've seen this question, which isn't exactly the same as my issue, plus it's almost 2 years old. I'd prefer not to have to use a third-party app for calendaring, and everything else about the calendar is fine (syncs correctly, displays multiple accounts' data.) It's just annoying to have to scroll through two weeks of data or date-picker tumblers to get to today. Has anyone else run across this? Is there anything I can do to fix it? I'm running Froyo on a rooted (but not custom-rommed) phone.

title: AT&T Galaxy SIII / Windows 7 64bit AMD/ Cannot mount USB drive

text: I just want to transfer files between my new cell phone and my new computer. I have been on the phone with both AT&T and Samsung tech support for two days. No joy. I and they have tried dozens of combinations of running Kies, Developer Debug Mode, pull the USB cord now, put it back in now... on and on. One guy had me yank the battery, "NOW!" I also called a magic phone number `*#7284#`, which is actually a backdoor into a settings menu. I have also tried following some suggestions here on android.stackexchange. All I want is for it to work like a USB memory stick. Plug it in, and there are my files in a Windows Explorer folder. Dream on,right? The USB port on the PC worked for a Galaxy SII before the phone quit working completely. The cable is fine. But I tried other USB ports and other cables anyway. Question 1. Can this be right? On a 64 bit Windows 7 OS? Is it supposed to be in system32? ![Is it supposed to be in system32?](http://i.stack.imgur.com/VtUZu.png) Question 2. Does the fact that the drivers without MTP in the name load okay indicate that the hardware on the phone is working? Question 3. Anyone know of a backdoor that will allow me to mount at least the add-on SD card like a plain ol' external drive? I'll bet there is one. Question 4. If all else fails, is there another (non-Samsung) Android phone with camera lenses on both sides that I might want to get instead? UPDATE: I removed all SAMSUNG drivers from my PC. Reinstalled latest and greatest (1.5.6.0, which showed 1.5 million downloads). I did a factory reset on the phone. Rebooted everything. Tried again. No joy. I let Windows install drivers from the net. Still no joy.

title: How can I make new/separate folders in the gallery?

text: I recently had some issues with my LG Marquee and had to copy the SD Card's contents to my PC, then put those contents onto a new SD Card to salvage my media content(photos, videos, apps, etc.) When I inserted the new SD Card with my content on it, my phone took the content but it all (all 3,548 items) were placed into _one_ single folder in my Gallery. My question is: **How can I separate/organize these items into new and separate folders in the Gallery?** Is there a specific way on my phone that I can do this, or do I need to download a photo organizing app? If so, what photo organizing apps are safe and secure? Thank You!

title: Is it possible to track what information on your phone an app is uploading?

text: If you are concerned about what information an app is sending about you (your privacy concerns) is there any way of tracking this? Can you see if an app is sending photos on your phone? Can you see if it is sending the text that you type in it? In general can you log the information that an app (application) sends over the network from your phone? Would it be readable? Or at least should it be readable?


title: No network after installing CM7 on Xperia Arc

text: After successfully installing CM7 on Xperia arc by following the steps here, my phone doesn't pick up any network. I looked through the forums and see that some people have reported the same problem. I downloaded the stable image from CM home page for Xperia arc. After scouring through xda-developer forums I came across this new ROM for arc, does it solve the problem? http://forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310313 Also found these in the forums, http://forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102523&page=127#1263 which essentially says,   1.

Start your phone and go to apps menu   chose "Dev tools" -> Bad Behavior -> Crash the system server -> reboot I am using linux and couldn't make sense of the first step to flash the file. Any help on solving this problem would be very helpful.


title: Record phone calls

text: Is there a way to record phone calls? I tried some apps that appeared to work but it seems these only record thru the mic, ideally it should work with headset and earphones too but it doesn't and the sound quality is really poor and buggy.

I have Samsung Galaxy S. ## Update I tried all the phone recording apps and none work. ## Update Why is something simple so difficult? I tried all the phone recording apps and none work.

title: What is the difference between Widget and program that can be added to the home screen?

text: When I hold the home screen on a spot a set of options appears to add to Home. Two of these options say **program** and **widget**. To add my calendar app which syncs with my google calendar I had to use widget on the home screen. To add my task app which syncs with my google tasks, I added a program to the home screen. What is different from a Widget and a program. They both must be programs. Is a widget something which is dynamic all the time, and loads on boot so the viewer can see it on the home screen live and updated like a clock?


title: Downgrade 2.3.6 to 2.2.2 - Nexus One

text: I would like to downgrade my Nexus One to 2.2.2, because I've had non-stop problems with Gingerbread. I have the 2.2.2 update from android central, and going off the comments from a previous question, I'm under the assumption that this is doable. So I've gone through the Bootloader -> Recovery -> apply sdcard:update.zip steps, and it fails with the following message:               assert failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.1/FRG83D/75603:user/release-keys" || file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.2/FRG83D/91102:user/release-keys"          E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip     (Status 7)     Installation aborted.      I would guess the OS is checking if I'm on either 2.2.1 (updating from the previous version) or 2.2.2 (reinstalling the target version), is this assumption correct? This begs the question, how do I go from 2.3.6 to 2.2.2? Do I need to factory reset, and apply updates sequentially?


title: Bluetooth AVRCP only device

There are many AVRCP Bluetooth devices, but they are all also A2DP sinks, which I do not want - I plug my phone's headphone output into my car's aux input. Ideally, I'd like something I can mount to the steering wheel so I can change tracks without trying to find the button on my touchscreen. Alternatively, could I buy a small A2DP/AVRCP device like this and configure Android to not send audio, but still respond to the track controls?

title: "App Data" Sync & "App Data" Backup both are same?

text: May be its silly but I'm curious to know the actual fact. I searched google and this site a lot but didn't got satisfiable result. So asking. There is "App Data" sync in Settings->Accounts->Google There is also Backup My Data in Settings->Backup & Reset   1. Are they same?? I know that if I flash my device then all apps I get by restore. how its being done??   1. one of my app after restoration asked me to update. "SMS Backup & Restore" if Google restores by installing from Google play why after restoring it wants to update?? last update date of that app in Google play was older than today's date. So it seems that Google installed an older version of the app though there is a new version   2. So do Android uploads whole binaries and app local data to the Google server from the device?? or Google tracks which apps were last installed in the device & just re installs those last installed apps according to version from Google play??


title: folder not visible

I can move all my content to another folder, but then I need to rewrite my applications that depend on that.


title: Unix domain sockets between host and emulator

text: I am trying get Android and my Linux host talk to each other on Unix domain sockets. I have my server on the host while the client is part of a library that emulator's software stack will make use of. The Android stack is not able to find the socket stream file that I have specified which happens to be on the host's filesystem. Now, before you say "port forward", I have tried that and this is what I have tried based on my understanding of the `abd forward` command. I have not had success in this. Could you guys please point out the mistake and help me?               adb forward localfilesystem:/tmp/android_socket localfilesystem:android_socket      The path used in the host is `/tmp/android_socket` and that in the Android emulator is "android_socket"


title: Even after a factory reset the nexus 7 won´t work!

text: I´ve tried the latest Android update into my Nexus 7 (1º gen) tablet. Something went wrong in the middle of the process (it was something to do with the software, because the battery was full and the wifi wa working). I had to restart the tablet, and after that I just couldn´t get to any app. Every single app or thing that I tried to use just would "unexpectedly" shut down. And after trying to shut down and on again the tablet, it was locked into the welcome screen (after the "Google" logo). The tablet wasn´t rooted in any way. After a lot of reading and after searching on the net, I´ve found that the only way to use the tablet again was to do a factory reset. I´ve done it. (One weird thing: it doesn´t appear the original "X" signal when initializing the thing, but the newest "bubble like" screen). **But even in that case, I still get freezed into the welcoming screen. And even if sometimes I get to enter the tablet, I can´t use the keyboard (trying to type any number will freeze the screen) and I cannot enter the settings screen.** **Even if (after the factory reset) I can access the tablet, I can´t access the settings screen (so I can´t change any default, nor I can enter the "developers" tab in order to access the tablet in debug mode with my PC).** **Is there anything I can do?** I´ve even tried completely discharging, without any luck (it does the same after charging it again). Since then, I´ve tried the "factory reset" several times, and the problem remains.


title: How can I make Llama use different volumes anyway, despite 4.0+ supposedly not allowing this?

text: My Samsung Galaxy S 5 allows the ringer and notification volumes to be different. Despite this, Llama is complaining that Android 4.0+ does not allow different volumes, and is giving me the options to "Use volumes anyway", "Moan to Google", or "Make volumes the same". I decide to use the volumes anyway, and end up with both a ringer and notification volume of one, instead of a ringer volume of five and a notification volume of one. How can I circumvent this?


title: Nexus 7 Incredibly Slow

text: Over the past few weeks, my Nexus 7 running 4.2 Jelly Bean has gotten incredibly slow at times. Sometimes I can count off a full five (or more) seconds for an app to open or even for something as simple as scrolling from one home screen to another. I've had the device for three or four months and it just recently started giving me problems. I hadn't installed anything new prior to noticing the problem and everything that I have installed came from the Play store, so it should all be safe. Rebooting the device does not seem to help. What can I do to diagnose and hopefully fix this problem? This is my first Android device so I don't even really know where to start.


title: Google music not syncing on Nexus S

text: I received my invite to Google Music a couple weeks ago. I've been using it in the browser since then. My Nexus S however, refuses to sync music. Some people on the web report the same problem but it always fixes for them after awhile or after they do one of the following steps which have not worked for me. The settings menu simply does not appear in the Music App which would allow me the option to sync music. I have tried the following things to no avail with exception of factory reset which I do not want to do.   * The Sync Music option is not available in Accounts and Sync so the problem is not that this is not turned on as the option isn't even there.   * I have uninstalled updates and re-downloaded the updates and that didn't help.   * I have cleared application data and that didn't help. I've probably tried other stuff too that I can't remember, and FYI, I'm using Google Apps so I don't know if this is a piece of the problem as well.


title: How can I turn off android market sync while roaming?

I expected that no sync would occur while in this setting, but suddenly the automatic marketing updates turned in and before I could turn it off it had downloaded a large number of MB's of automatic upgraded apps at a ridiculous rate. I find it terrible hard to believe that Google has let this issue slip? Is this a known issue with Android or a bug?

title: Droid Bionic loses all data connectivity (Wifi & 3G/4G) intermittently. Software or hardware issue?

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Why does the 3G connection drop issue happen on all Verizon 4G LTE > handsets? Periodically (a few times a week), my Droid Bionic (stock Gingerbread 2.3.4) will lose access to all data services (Wifi, 3G/4G) for no apparent reason. The only sure way out seems to be powering the phone off and restarting it, although the last time I tried using Sleep instead of power off it did reset. When it goes out, the only icon in the notification area is the signal strength "bars" area, which goes white. No 3G/4GLTE, or Wifi icon is present. How do I determine if this is a Gingerbread issue or a hardware issue with my phone?

text: In wireless options there is such setup, but it does not do anything. It doesn't increase coverage or signal. And i think it does not consume more power. Why? Because this option does not apply itself in my opinion. Maybe a bug? Htc Desire S Android 2.3.3

Thank you.

title: How to avoid showing many processes on DDMS?

text: ## Background As an Android developer, I use DDMS (link **here** about what it is), which shows all of the processes that I can debug (along with other stuff). Today I've finally flashed a custom ROM that is based on AOSP. ## The problem Ever since I flashed the new ROM, I've noticed that instead of showing just a few processes (including mostly just the apps I'm making), it shows a lot more processes, including both system apps and user apps. ## The question Is there any way to avoid this from happening? BTW, I tried putting a tag called "DDMS" and a tag called "AOSP" , and sadly I still can't do it even though my score is quite high on StackOverflow.

title: MAJESTY Z796C - Android Version 4.1.2 Speech Recognition Failure

text: I own a Majesty phone with Android Ver 4.1.2 that has a continued problem with speech recognition. I have searched and researched online for a workaround or fix to this problem to no avail. I reset the phone multiple time, removed possible conflicting software, used different applications from various companies in an attempt for a self correcting solution but nothing has worked. This is not a settings problem. This is a technical software glitch in this version of the operating system. I have noticed that thousands if not more are experiencing the same problem but Android has done ABSOLUTELY nothing, or even paid any mind to this problem for a solution. Has anyone found a workaround, or an answer to solving this?


title: Is there an way to access a shared (networked) scanner on android?

text: I recently purchased a networked multifunction machine, and I was excited about its ability to scan via handheld devices using Epson's iPrint. Since I'm keeping the device in a different room from my computer, scanning via my tablet seemed much more useful than running from room to room, making adjustments. However, I found Epson's android scanning app to be a bit... simplistic. It only scans preset document sizes, at preset resolutions, and only to jpeg or pdf, no lossless formats like png or tiff. I searched for alternative apps, and only found manufacturer specific options. My searching was complicated due to all the "scanning" apps that use the phone's camera, and scanning tools for network security. So, my question is, does anyone know of any way to access shared, networked scanners and use the more advanced features that you see on desktops?


title: Link2SD working issues

text: I have installed the Link2SD application on my Samsung Galaxy Ace, everything is in place, now I dont understand how it works. I have allotted 1GB of space to my second `ext3` partition, I have 2 doubts:   1. Whenever I link my application, those space does not gets deducted from internal memory, I checked in _Settings -> Manage Application_   2. When I move the application to SD card, still I have some space occupied in internal memory I don't understand the exact use of Link2SD: if I allotted 1GB of space for the apps, then why my internal space is being used -- and if Link2SD does work like this only, then I would better use force move application using `adb shell`, which even does not require rooting. Can anyone please clarify my doubts, and let me know how can I use _Link2SD_ , so that everything is moved to SD Card and nothing remains in internal memory?

I'm not sure if it's some virus installing invisible apps, or if it is Google performing unpermissive updates, but I have told Google I do not want it to auto update and it's trying to do it anyway. I know that whatever this is, it has something to do with Google Play because. have a firewall. I have told my firewall to block anything from the google services framework and as long as the firewall is on it won't do this. however, if I turn off the firewall, it goes nuts. trying to auto update, and install all kinds of unwanted garbage. what can I do? can I just uninstall play store?

text: I'm trying to re-install a paid app from the Google Play Store I had previously installed before doing a system update. The installation fails silently after downloading. (Other installs from the Market work fine.) Where can I see a log of what went wrong? My System is a CM10 nightly built, so there might be all kinds of problems. The app doesn't show up as previously installed in any OS app lists, but turns up as 'not installed, no backups' in the Titanium Backup list, so there must be some residues from the former installation left.


title: Is there a good camera app for Android?

text: The camera in my Galaxy S3 is not everything I want it to be. It's lacking one feature which is important for me: timer. That pushed me to search for camera apps and I was hopping to easily find the app for people that care about taking pictures. Instead I found the apps for people that care about filters. This is my mental spec for a camera app:   * Take the highest possible quality of pictures.   * Timer with configurable time as well as amount of pictures.   * Widget to take pictures with one tap on my home screen. Is there such an app?

Preferably without installing any additional apps or widgets. Thanks for your answers.

I was using an app called "File Manager" to search through the files and try to find it. If anyone can point me in the right location I would really appreciate it. Android Version: 4.0.4

title: Is there "select all" functionality in the GMail app?

text: I've previously used the default Email app on my CyanogenMod 7 EVO because I had an Exchange account at work. However, I switched jobs recently and my new place just uses GMail corporate accounts (which I enjoy). Since I don't have the Exchange account anymore, I'd like to move over to the GMail app because I prefer the UI and whatnot, but I can't for the life of me find any kind of "Select All" functionality in it. The Email app allows me to do this from the options menu (`Menu->Select All` selects everything in the current folder). In GMail I noticed that if I select one or more items, then "Deselect All" becomes available in the options menu, but not "Select All". I've also tried various forms of long-pressing on messages, accounts, and folders to no avail. Is there any way to do this in the GMail app, or am I just stuck without it? I searched the issue tracker and didn't find anything relevant, which surprised me a bit, to be honest. Obviously I can do this from a computer if I need to empty a folder/label, but I'd kind of like to retain the functionality on my phone, too. Am I missing some non-obvious (or perhaps even obvious) menu item somewhere?

To be specific, I'm looking for an app such that if I have a memo, calendar entry, or contact with the word **Jugular** and I type **Jugular** in the edit field of the app, it will display the memo, calendar entry and contact.

How do I remove this problematic custom lockscreen and revert to the stock one? Obviously I'd either have to do it via ADB or something. Can anyone help me out?

text: The loud speaker of my phone, Xperia L is off. I guess the headset plugged in event is triggered and so mutes the loud speaker. Can I do anything about it. I can't even answer or makes calls... have to put it on loudspeaker or plug in the headphones. I don't think it's a hardware issue.


title: Unlocked bootloader but cant root. (Mac)

text: A few months ago I rooted my android phone which went all fine. I then accidently uninstalled my operating system. Finally I managed to flash omniROM on my device which was as good as it got for me. The only problem is that I am not rooted anymore. My boot loader is unlocked but no root. When I run the usual commands on my computer (Mac) it just says access denied at the finish. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Also when I go on root checker on my phone it says. ACCESS DENIED. not rooted properly


title: Multiple Androids with one bluetooth keyboard

text: Is there some software that simply lets me use one bluetooth keyboard to type on several different android tablets in front of me? Provided: The keyboard supports pairing with multiple devices, and it is paired with all of my tablets. A solution to this problem should ideally give a way for me to choose which tablet is currently receiving keyboard input using only the keyboard; in other words, I shouldn't have to touch a screen in order to switch to another tablet.


title: Error installing Android 4.3 using adb sideload

text: Situation : My phone battery drains out completely one day and even after charging it fully the phone is still stuck in boot-loop with Nexus 'X' logo. What I did : Tried factory reset from recovery mode multiple times but no luck. I tried to install factory 4.3 as well as 4.2.2 using adb sideload but constantly get the error.. "Signature verification failed". I checked the md5 checksum for my downloaded file and it seems fine. What am I doing wrong here ? Amongst the images downloaded in a .tgz file what is the the file I should be using for sideload ? Note : I am using xubuntu to run the adb command

title: How do I add bookmark on Android (Firefox or Chrome) so it appears on PC

text: Both Firefox and Chrome has sync features, but they dont seem to work the way I want. Both Firefox and Chrome is having a top level grouping of the bookmarks, "bookmarks on PC" and "bookmarks on Android". And from Android the PC bookmarks are read-only. I can see them and visit them but not edit them or extend the collection with more bookmarks. How do I add a bookmark from my Android device (in Firefox or Chrome) to my PC (Firefox or Chrome)?


title: Is there a way to send an emergency text and/or email by holding down either of the volume buttons?

text: A friend of mine recently developed a medical condition that causes sudden shortness of breath, and in one instance, caused her to pass out. In that instance, she said she lost her vision first, so she couldn't make a phone call to anyone. I found some apps that send emergency messages by pressing a button in the lock screen, but it may be hard to do so without being able to see (though certainly better than trying to punch in a phone number). I was wondering if there was a way to send messages by holding down a _physical_ button for, say, 5 seconds. (Of course, the contacts/message would be preconfigured/preset.) I'm not sure if it's even possible for an app to "hijack" a button's functionality in such a way.


title: htc wildfire out of control

text: I have HTC wildfire s A510e (android 2.3.5 gingerbread), but I think it is not in my control, I means it navigate various option automatically like auto dialing, sms pop up , ring tone, wallpaper, auto stop of games and other apps like camera, radio etc etc, even I did factory reset and format sd card but problem still exists. Cell is also clean with avest/ avg antivirus but same problem exists wi-fi is also off. Could anyone tell me is it virus or something else. As I observed some time such events started whenever I login into main screen, some time such activities started during games or whenever I used other apps.

text: Is there a difference between Google Keyboard, which was recently release on the Play Store, and the Android Keyboard (AOSP) in the open source project? Update: I need the difference from a feature prospective


title: Exotic case of Galaxy Nexus not booting

text: Symptoms :   1. Put battery into Galaxy Nexus (tried with two different including a brand new one)   2. Plug cord to USB host or charger   3. Large battery charge indicator icon appears in the middle of the screen   4. Six seconds later the screen goes dark and no further user-observable activity happens   5. During the whole process, device does not react to any button input - including the 'while holding down Volume Up and Volume Down buttons together, hold down the Power button for ten seconds' maneuver that should have taken it to fastboot mode   6. When plugged to an USB host, no USB activity is detected from the host - whether by adb or other USB observation tools. Context :   * The device having suffered a cracked screen, it has been swapped for a new screen   * This problem appeared on first boot attempt after the screen swap   * The device worked perfectly before suffering the cracked screen   * The appearance of the battery icon proves that the replacement screen works I may have broken something during swapping the screens... But with disabled hardware I would have expected a frankly non-functional device. What further steps can I take to find what makes the boot process fail in the aforementioned way ?


title: How can I increase the number of volume levels?

text: Is it possible to increase the number of steps in the volume control? I'd like a finer grained control over the volume level. I have a Galaxy Nexus. Note: I don't want to boost the volume just change the number of levels so I can find a sweet spot when listening to music.


title: Does the built-in Google app data backup work?

text: This question is a long time coming I guess. I have been seeing claims in Android since the dark ages that our data is being backed-up to the cloud, and recently "Sync App Data" showed up as well in the account settings. However when I have to restore, all I get is the apps I had, and a very small restore.. perhaps wifi passwords and desktop wall paper from what I see. So my question is this.. **Does the in built-in backup service work?** I see from code documentation, that the apps need to manage it manually. I guess then it is possible that some apps do not support this? Is this backup service actually supposed to backup app data or only just system data? Is installing helium or similar 3rd party services the only way to go? Second minor question. Am I right in understanding that Helium and its adb backup bretheren rely on the opt in android service, and that Titanium backup and their ilk just copy all possible files of the app and thus do not require the opt in service? p.s. Am sorry if there is a good post about these details, much of what I see is very cynical posts which plug one of the aforementioned 3rd party software.


title: Service that syncs pictures only when charging

text: I've been using Dropbox camera upload to automatically sync my pictures to my PC using my data plan (this part is important, I can't use a wifi). However, this autosync eats up the battery like crazy, so I'd like it to only sync when the phone is charging. I always connect my phone to its stand as soon as I'm home, so I'll still have the pictures synced to my PC merely a few minutes after getting home (without having to do anything manually). Dropbox, unfortunately, doesn't offer this option (syncing only when charging).   **Is there another photo-sync service/app that does?** (picasa, g+, facebook, etc)


title: Samsung Fascinate - Custom recovery without USB

text: I have a Samsung Fascinate that has a faulty USB connection. No computer / cable connection will recognize that there is a USB connection, including Windows, Mac, Linux, and using ADB and "lsusb". But the phone is rooted. Plain and simple, is there ANY way to flash a custom recovery without USB? I get this when I try to flash Clockworkmod through the app or apply update.zip:               --Install from package...     Finding update package...     Opening update package...     Verifying update package...     E: failed to verify whole-file signature     E: signature verification failed     Installation aborted


title: Google Music 'Unknown Artist' only in Android App

text: So I have an album that for some reason shows up as of an 'Unknown artist' in my library in the Google Music app. I already fixed the tags in Foobar (and also checked them again with MP3Tag) and then deleted the old files off my sd card and copied the fixed ones back on it. Yet still, they show up without an artist in the app... I tried several things:   * Uploading them to my Google Music Library, then they show up just fine. (So the files should be correct. But I want them on my extra SD card, so this was just to see if there was still something wrong with the files.)   * Clear all the data of the Google Music app (menu->apps->google play->clear data.) Didn't change a thing.   * Reinstall the Google Music app.   * Remove the com.google.android.music folder.   * Restart phone. Nothing fixed it... Now I don't know what else I could try. Obviously something went wrong, since at first the tags were wrong, but I fixed them. Any other program I tried reads them just fine. Any ideas on how to fix it? Edit: I just tried another music app on android (doubleTwist) and that also shows those songs under 'Unknown artist'... Yet when I copy the file back from my SD card to my pc it does show both Artist and Album artist correctly. I'm stumped. Is there some kind of cash of android I can clear? (Already tried clearing the Google Music app cash.) I'm completely stumped on what's going wrong :( Edit 2: I just found that the 'unknown artists'-songs apparently use an older/different version of Flac than the other files. According to foobar the bad songs are flac 1.1.1, while the other files are 1.2.1. When looking in Mp3tag the bad ones says 'FLAC (FLAC ID3v2)' and the good ones say 'FLAC (FLAC)'. Thanks a lot!


title: Phone lists saved WiFi network that I do not recognize

text: I know my phone will not store WiFi hotspots unless I connect to them, but I've noticed one on my phone that I have no recollection of ever connecting or saving. It's out of range yet saved on the list. I am wondering if there is anyway this is possible. Obviously if WiFi is on it will scan whatever is around, but will not store any of them unless told to. I'm wondering why I have one stored that I've never connected to or saved. Nobody else has used my phone.


title: BusyBox `ln -s`: How do I create symlink to a directory on external SD-card?

text: How do I create symlink to a directory on external SD-card? Do I have to edit `/etc/passwd` and add `user` or `root` to the `sdcard_r` group--since, I see that the `/storage/` location is owned by `sdcard_r`? Do I have to change the partition type, ie filesystem of the external sd-card? I've searched through the previously-asked questions, as well as google-search about the `ln` function in busybox; however, I'm not able to figure out why I keep getting an error `creating link failed File already exists` when I try to run `ln -s /storage/sdcard1/original_dir/ /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/sym_dir` . I have root privileges and, as far as I can tell, `/storage/`& `sdcard1` are not symlinks themselves. I appreciate any and all helpful comments. Thanks.


title: Unusual battery drain on note II

text: My Note 2 battery is driving me insane. I have been using my Note 2 for like 2 months. And I had been following the recharging cycle where you only charge the battery when it reaches 5% or less and remove from socket when it reaches 100%. This method has been working real well for me. I used to get really good battery life. I would recharge it to 100 and remove from socket and keep it there. I might only start working with it after 2 hrs of idle time a nd the battery percentage would be like 98 which is pretty normal. But two days back when I had to go out I found my battery level at 24 % and since I had no other choice I had to recharge it for 10 mins. That's when the problem started. After coming back home the battery had pretty decent juice left in it and I left it idle. After an hour or two when I checked the phone it had already switched off. I was in shock and tried to switch it on but it didn't work. So I thought of charging it to 100. After almost 3 hrs it was fully charged but since I don't work on my phone so late in the night, I removed it from socket, switched it on and left it there idle. And when I woke up after 5 hrs it had only 69% juice left in my battery. I checked my running apps and there were none. I had my data connection stopped. And still only 69? Thats kinda weird right? Is it because I recharged it before getting to 5 %. Is there a way I can remove the battery cycle cache or something?


title: Verizon Droid X Stopped Sending SMS

text: I have a Droid X running Gingerbread on Verizon and it is completely unable to send SMS messages. It receives them fine but every message I try to send is rejected. The details of the message reveal the following: > Cause Code: Addr.Vcnt., 0 Rebooting the phone seems to fix the problem, but only for a day or so. I also seem to have completely lost 3G connectivity on the phone as well when it is in this state. *228 on the phone fails until I can reboot it, but once reprogrammed there seems to be no lasting positive effect. Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone have a resolution? **EDIT:** I've just discovered all outbound calls immediately fail as well with no details as to the failure.
