title: How can I remove trusted CAs on Android?

text: From the current fallout around DigiNotar (in short, a Root Certificate Authority that has been hacked, fake HTTPS certificates issued, MITM attacks very likely), there are some parts concerning Android (see yesterday's interim report in PDF):   * fraudulent certificates for *.android.com has been generated (which would include market.android.com)   * there may be other such fraudulent certificates signed by this CA in the wild (currently nobody knows for sure, one way or the other)   * this could happen to another CA in the future (Comodo had a similar problem a few months ago) So, how do I remove a CA I no longer trust from my Android phone?

Background: Many apps require permissions which at first sound very intimidating, like READ_PHONE_STATE.

title: Samsung Moment telephone through AUX

text: I have an iPhone, and while in my car, I can connect to the radio through my AUX jack and use the phone that way. The iPhone microphone picks up just fine and I hear the person through the car speakers. While I don't **think** Apple intended for it to be used this way, it works just fine. My mom has the Samsung Moment, and when we tried that in her car, I couldn't hear her at all. Does Android disable the microphone when an aux cable is plugged into the headphone jack? If so, is there any way around it? Has anyone had success with using an Android phone in a vehicle radio like this? Thanks!   Thomas

Is there a way to disable or drastically reduce the size of album art in _any_ music player app? I've bought most of the popular ones and tried the stock player and many OEM players. They all want to display the album art and just put in a blank square if it's missing. Even apps with skinning functionality seem to always have the album art present.


title: Constant app crashes + google play error 960

text: I recently got a new Nexus 5 and I have a lot of issues with the software. Basically I have 2 major issues which I guess are likely related:   1. Google play store very often gives me an error `Unknown error code during application install: "960"`   2. Many applications often crash with the error message `Unfortunately application <insert-app -here> has stopped working`. I'm under the impression these are mainly stock apps but I'm not 100% sure. Next I also see some side issues in google chrome, which I suspect have the same reason:   1. Sometimes while browsing the whole phone crashes, I haven't pinned this down to a single action, but it only happens while using chrome, not with any other app or while idling.   2. I often get an error stating "this page cannot be loaded, please reload", after 5-6 times reloading it finally works (or the phone crashes...). To me it looks like there is some error with a basic android support app (maybe services) that messes everything up but I really can't figure out what it is. I have tried already:   * Factory reset several times, including using recovery mode   * Adding/removing my google account   * Clearing app caches of several apps like google chrome and google play services   * Clearing the cache partition using recovery mode   * Rebooting in safe mode

title: Get root access without going through replacing things?

I mean like, in terms of a PC, I want to simply give my limited user account an administrative privilege. Sorry if this seems weird and all but I'm unfamiliar with these grounds.

title: My Galaxy S4 no longer shows a notification for new mails on one of my email accounts

text: I have a Galaxy S4 with android 4.4.2. I have 2 email accounts: my personal account from my ISP with a POP3 incoming server and an SMTP outgoing server, and my business correspondence account from my employer with an Exchange server. Since a few weeks, I no longer get a notification if I get an email on my personal account. They do arrive, and they are downloaded to my system, and they appear in my mailbox automatically), but the notification no longer appears and I no longer have a sound. I still receive notifications for my work account. The number of new emails on my email app is updated properly. There are no subfolders in my inbox. I have the problem both on my mobile connection AND on a wireless network. Things I've verified:   1. the checkmark for notifications in my account settings IS enabled.   2. A ringtone HAS been set.   3. Sync IS enabled and set to sync every 5 minutes, except when roaming. There is no peak schedule set and sync is set to only retrieve the headers. I've changed this last one to download the first 50 kB now.   4. My phone is NOT rooted, and I regularly update all my apps. If you need any more information, please ask. I'm looking for a way to make notifications appear again, like they used to.


title: How to copy all photos in gallery to linux desktop machine?

text: I have a bunch of photos on my Samsung Galaxy Tab running 3.2 which I'd like to copy over USB to my main machine running Linux so I can work on them with GIMP and other power tools. Despite this seeming like a simple and common thing to do, I haven't found any way to do this after hours of googling and experimenting. Some answers and articles already out there assume the existence of sdcard, which I don't have (AFIK), mention directories named /dcim or /emmc (sp?), involve Windows-only software such as Kies, or are about some specialized problem not relevent here. I figured I could poke around the Galaxy Tab's file system with adb, but found no place holding .jpg or other image files, which I should have at least 30 or so of. If I knew the path, I could just do an adb pull to get my photos. If it's possible, I prefer to use adb pull, since it can be automated, but I also wonder how regular folk, the nontechies, get their photos off their tablets. I have read about MTP and that the USB mass storage device way of doing things doesn't work with the Galaxy Tab (or anything Samsung?) Just to be clear, my photos do exist on the tablet. I can see them all in the Gallery, as a regular end user. I do have the proper USB cable, and adb runs fine.


title: Why is multitasking not behaving properly on my HTC One S?

text: I have recently purchased the new HTC One S, and I am starting to get disappointed with Android and ICS. Multitasking only seems to exist for small apps like SMS, mail, and others. Every time I have a big game running - like Shadowgun, for example - and I press the home button or lock the screen, the game stops running. If I then go to the most recent apps and pick the game, it starts over from the beginning, it doesn't continue where I left it. I am used to a HTC HD2 with its old Windows Mobile, and I was always able to leave a game in its position and come back to it later, without any problems. Why isn't Android doing that for me? Is it a behavior only for ICS, or HTC, or is it the general behavior of any android mobile?

title: IMAP email is always delayed

text: I've got the oddest problem with the built in email client. I've got an account that connects to a POP3 server that works fine. I've got another account that connects to an IMAP server, and the email is always about a day late. This is very weird. AFAICT, all the mail eventually arrives, and the same mailbox viewed on a PC works fine, but the last email actually displayed on the phone is usually about a day old. I could understand complete failure, or even randomly dropping emails, but I can't figure out what would cause a rolling delay like that. Any help much appreciated. Thanks! **Update** : I'm looking more closely, and the delay is actually 20 hours, which seems like an awfully strange number.

title: Writing structured text documents

text: I recently bought an Android tablet with a keyboard, and would like to use it to take notes of conferences, lectures, meetings etc. On a Windows or Linux notebook, I would use the excellent LyX system for this. LyX basically allows you to write structured text without worrying about the layout, saying "this is a #3 heading" or "this should be emphasized" instead of "this should be bold and a larger size". LyX then allows you to export your text as PDF, DOC, ODF, LaTeX and so on. I am looking for an App that allows a similar approach to writing for Android. What I already tested:   * Writer is almost what I'm searching, a minimalist text editor that understands Markdown and saves its document as plain text on the Android device (no network necessary). I'd like a few more formatting options and an export feature, though.   * Write:Tablet doesn't seem to have many structuring features   * Most "office" packages like Polaris Office do not offer format templates, but restrict the user to bold / italic / font size types of formatting   * Google Docs needs a constant net connection So, I'm aware that this is a very small niche I am looking for here, and such an app would probably not make sense on phones, but is there another interesting tool for structured text creation?

title: internal sd storage partition/mount problem

text: I got my nexus 7 2013 a few weeks ago. It worked great for some time until I decided to flash a kernel that claimed to add support for CIFS windows shares mount. After installing this kernel, when the OS booted, I did not have landscape mode working anymore - only portrait. I decided to do adb full restore to a full backup i made before this step, which seemed to have passed without any errors, but something happened to the recognition of the internal SD memory - applications are not able to use it - I am getting "no external storage" messages when I launch the gallery application and an error when trying to run the google play store - "unfortunetley, google play store has stopped". The device is still starting with only portrait mode. i then tried to format the device and used TWRP to format everything including the internal memory. After that I reflashed the original rom of google for this device (taken from here). The problem is still the same. In TWRP recovery console - I am able to access and push files to and from /sdcard folder with no problems, and see its content with adb shell. When android loads - `cd /sdcard` \+ `ls` shows that it is empty (even though it does contain files copied to it in recovery console mode) the reason for this is that with ls I can see that `/sdcard` points to `/storage/emulated/legacy` which points to `/mnt/shell/emulated/0` which DOES NOT exist. `/mnt/shell/emulated/` folder exists, but it is empty. I am unable to use the device - just start the OS (and get the error messages when trying to launch applications). When the OS loads I immediately get the "unfortunetley, google play store has stopped" error without doing anything. running google earth application when logcat active gives the following output:               E/cutils  (10727): Failed to chmod(/mnt/shell/emulated/0, 0): Read-only file system     E/dalvikvm(10727): cannot mountExternalStorage(): Read-only file system     I/ActivityManager(  492): Start proc com.google.earth for activity com.google.earth/.EarthActivity: pid=10727 uid=10024 gids={50024, 3003, 1015, 1028}     D/dalvikvm(10727): No JNI_OnLoad found in /system/lib/libearthmobile.so 0x41dc5158, skipping init      Any idea how do I solve this?

title: Port already Using Error in Android

text: I have an android application which is running on Huawei S7,Android 2.2. It is getting inputs from an arduino board.Arduino Board is connected to the tablet by USB cable.Application is using USB Protocol to connect to arduino. The application is written for Android 4.1.And it is using a backward compatibility pack to make it runnable on 2.2. We had to use a 2.2 device.But now we have a device with Android 4.3. And when we try to run the same app in 4.3 device it gives an error saying 4567 port already in use. 4567 port is the port used by arduino application to connect with the Android Device(Tablet Application). How can i find the application which is using the 4567 port? Is there any way i can free up that port? My 4.3 device is not rooted. Will rooting do any good in this problem?


I apologize for my ignorance but I am not very tech savvy. Basically I do a field job and I always have 2 phones in one of those bags you put around your waist. I had 2 Samsung galaxy S2 in the past and after a while they started having trouble with receiving signal. I went to a "specialized" shop where they sell smartphones and the guy told me that the malfunctions is caused by keeping them together for prolonged periods of times.And went on with some speech about electromagnetism. Now the two S2 were malfunctioning for real as I tried with different sim cards, factory resets and the problem persisted. I then bought a S3 and yesterday I bought another one. I always need 2 phones..long story. Now some other people basically confirmed that keeping them close to each other breaks them but none of them,in my opinion, seemed to know their shit. so, Can 2 smartphones malfunction if they are hold together in the pocket for long times everyday?


title: GSM signal lost - howto get signal back without restarting

text: Several times a week I have the problems where the GSM signal is lost on my phone, due to bad coverage in that area. The real problem for me is that when that happens, and when I move to a place with known coverage, the signal doesn't come back. The only solution I know is to restart the phone. Switching to airplane mode and back doesn't help. Is there an app or method I can use to avoid the restart?   * Phone: Samsung Galaxy S2   * Android: Jelly Bean 4.2 (Avatarrom)

Can root affect battery life? Or could it be an application?


title: GTalk_ASYNC_CONN wakelock detailed report. Keeps draining batteries

text: It's been a month since I've tried dealing with this wakelock. I've read a lot of articles, including this. A week ago I was also dealing with NlpWakelockCollector, which sometimes gets stucked draining my battery and sometimes not. This time the problem is GTalk_ASYNC_CONN. I really don't know what's the problem with Google. It's frustrating. Here it is what I did.   1. Full Charge 100%. Didn't touch it for about ~2 hours.   2. Set the alarm clock and went to sleep at about 6am.   3. Woke up at 12.50pm and the first I did was to save the LogCat's log and check Wakelock Detector and GSam Battery Monitor apps. Screenshots here, ![Wakelock Detector](http://i.stack.imgur.com/77iLY.png) ![GSam Battery Monitor](http://i.stack.imgur.com/mPQ8K.png) and this is my log from Logcat: http://tny.cz/8122229f PS.

title: Asus Transformer TF101 keyboard not working when docked

text: I have an Asus EEE Pad Transformer TF101 Android tablet and docking station. It came with Android v3.2 installed, and I have since then upgraded OTA to 4.0. I haven't used the dock much but it used to work. Recently I did a factory reset, because I intend to sell this. But now, the physical keyboard of the docking station is not working. The tablet shows the docked indicator when docked. The touchpad works. The extra battery works. The USB ports work, but not the keyboard. The virtual keyboard is showing `hardware keyboard ON` when docked but keypresses does nothing. If I move the slider to OFF then the virtual keyboard is working. I have reset a few times now and the same issue remains. What happened, and how can I try to fix this?

title: Lock down 'receive text messages' setting

text: I recently got a shock on my phone bill when it showed over a hundred texts received by the standard text messaging app. I had been receiving these solely through Google Voice, specifically to avoid such charges. I checked the Google Voice settings, and somehow the 'Receive text messages' setting had been switched to 'Via the messaging app'. Ack! I switched it back. But: Is there a way (or a utility app) that will lock this setting in place? **[EDIT]** All right, I was a bit vague in the original description of this problem. Let me walk through this step by step: Last month, my phone bill was about $25 more than the month before. Comparing it to the previous bill, I found that the difference was due to over 100 texts having been received on the phone through the carrier. I checked my phone settings, and found that in Google Voice, the setting under **Sync and Notifications** >> **Receive Text Messages** was set to **Via the messaging app**. All the recent text messages were listed in the standard messaging app. I changed the Google Voice setting to **Via the Google Voice app** , and had a friend send me a new text message. It appeared in Google Voice, but not in the standard messaging app. What I seek is a way to lock down that Google Voice setting so that it cannot be changed. (I suspect that it was altered somehow by a recent Google Voice upgrade.) Does such an app exist, or is there a way of doing this that I am overlooking? Thanks... JGB

There is an option to change the timeout, but I would rather not be switching it all the time based on whether I have it plugged in. Is there an option I am missing?


title: Android app keeps Screen on, how to let it go *OFF* against app settings?

text: The app is one of those applications that keeps the screen on and doesn't permit it to turn off. It's killing the battery and I shouldn't have to simply manually turn the screen off constantly. Every other app simply lets the screen turn off once I stop interacting with it like a good app should. Hence my question: Is there any setting/app/widget/button/magic wand of any kind that will let me block this application from keeping the screen on. There has to be some kind of permission I can revoke to stop it from doing this. The phone is rooted.


title: Recover data on a bricked Nexus 5

text: I bought a Nexus 5 just a few weeks ago and it died miserably yesterday without any apparent reason at all. I've read quite a few threads around the net about this and I haven't been able to power on the phone with the method suggested. What I'd like to do now is trying to recover as much data as possible and/or wipe the phone completely [without losing warranty]. Is there a way to do so considering that:   * connecting the phone to the computer won't work   * I can't power on the phone in any way   * I can't reach the boot loader What I've tried so far:   * holding the power button down for 10+ seconds   * holding the power and the volume (+ and -, either together or one by one) buttons for 10+ seconds   * did the steps above when disconnected from a/c, when connected to a/c and when connected to usb.   * phone recharged for a 10+ hours and did again all the steps above   * tried at different time of day with different stars configuration, swearing and being nice, swearing and being nice at the same time too.   * asked the help of all gods I'm aware of without any luck (does this suggest google is evil?)


title: Control media player on one phone from another

However, I'd also like to control the playback using my S2. This can be via bluetooth or wi-fi, as I can use the wi-fi hotspot feature if required. Can anyone suggest any Apps that would allow me to do this? So far a remote- desktop app is the best I've found, but it's a bit awkward to use.


title: How to "report" a mis-behaving app?

text: I purchased a very popular IM app from the Marketplace, as it was the only one that was able to connect to my company's Jabber server, and I've been using it successfully for months now. On November 30th or December 1st it stopped working, I assumed due to an issue on my company's server, since they're always tinkering with it. Late last week I started looking into it and I found out, much to my utter horror, that it wasn't my company's server that was at fault, it was the IM app's server -- I have been logging in to my company's server through their server for months now, meaning that their server had access to my password (which can be used for just about every system I use at work). I verified this by rooting my phone, installing WireShark and looking at the network traffic. I've asked for my money back, since I paid for the app, but I really want to get the app removed from the marketplace, as it's a huge danger to anyone using it. Please note that I have no proof that this company was harvesting anyone's password, but they could be doing it. Regardless, they're transmitting my login credentials in the clear (though they are encoding the password, which I'm sure will deter all but the most hardened hackers -- not!).

title: Using an external SDcard with KitKat?

text: On a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition running 4.4 and non-rooted (I'd prefer not to root a device used for professional development purposes) Having stored some ebooks on my external SDcard, I decided that I wanted to add some audio as well (as my internal device storage is quite full.) As far as I can tell not one app (nor adb) can perform any write operations to the external SDcard's root directory. The one exception that I've found is that my ubuntu computer, _can_ create and rename directories inside /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/ even though none of my apps can. Is there a workaround for this that doesn't involve rooting the device?


title: Samsung Apps for Galaxy S4 with CyanogenMod

text: I am going to change the official stock Android on my Samsung Galaxy S4 to the latest version of CyanogenMod. But after reading some forum threads about how beautiful and useful it is, I have a question regarding Samsung Apps: Is there any Samsung Apps available or is it possible to install them somehow? The problem is that I do not really want to lose my camera functionality (double camera photo and automatic color correction), hover function, S Memo, Samsung Apps, S Planner and so on. What you may suggest me? I really liked that CM functionality, but I also need almost all of the Samsung default tools, like S Memo (the most useful for me).


title: How can I prevent my keyboard backlight from turning off automatically?

text: My Droid Pro's physical keyboard backlight turns off after an fixed length of time, whether I'm texting, browsing, or sitting idle watching video. I've gone through every setting I can find in all the apps and phone modes I can think of and can't find a way to lengthen the amount of time it remains on or disable the auto-off feature. This is very annoying when texting in the dark if I don't have the availability of both hands to rotate the phone and use the virtual keyboard on screen. Is there any way to prevent the backlight from turning off automatically?


title: How to improve tethering while travelling in a train?

After switching to 2G-only the surfing on the phone is much better now but surfing on the laptop is still bad.

title: How to extract sqlite file

text: My _Samsung Galaxy S_ was having an error on the notification bar saying `sd card blank or has unsupported file system`, so I was required to format my sd card. However, I couldn't format it using the phone, and my lappy couldnt recognize it either. So I formatted the card using my _Nokia 5800_ , and it works. I tried to recover lost images and songs using Photorec. However, I was only able to recover 3 files and all of them are sqlite files. One of them is 2gb in size which match the size of all the photos and songs that I used to have. Is the sqlite file my lost data or not? If it is, how can I convert it back to photos and songs that I mentioned earlier?


title: Can I hide a specific Google Now place card?

I'm wondering though, is there any way to tell it "No, I'm **_not_** interested in that place, please don't show it to me again"? Note that I don't want to turn off the nearby places cards entirely, I want to see those, I just want to dismiss **specific** places and not see cards for them again. Can I do this? Note also, if there is a way, it doesn't necessarily need to be in Google Now, ... if there's even a way to go on the web and add the place to an ignore list or something or anything.

When I cleared all the running apps, (`Settings > Applications > Running services`), I do not get the full RAM. My phone gets slow. I am left with no other option but to restart it. This is my first Android device. Is this a common thing with Android devices, or does my phone have problems?

title: When using apps as a second user, why do new screens within apps open behind the main window?

text: I have just set up a second user account on my Nexus 10 (running stock 4.2.2) so that I can keep my work Exchange email account separated on the device. In this new account, the email app works fine in almost all ways, except that when you (for example) open the settings dialog, nothing appears to happen. It is only when you hit the 'back' button that the settings window appears. It's as if new windows are opening behind the original one rather than in front. Initially it looked like it was on the Email app with this behaviour, but this morning Evernote has started doing the same thing in that account. This is extremely annoying! It only seems to affect this new secondary user. Everything works perfectly in the primary account. I've tried searching for people having the same issue but have come up with nothing.

The phone with the cracked screen works (except the screen) and contains personal and sensitive data. I do not want to expose it in any way while I give it for repair. It would be nice if I can factory reset or wipe the phone before I give it to service.

title: Files and Data loss when sd card is changed from java supported phone to android phone

text: I have changed my micro sd card from Samsung Star2 S5263 which is running on Java OS to a new android phone. Later I have connected my android phone to my PC to copy some files from the system. And after copying, I have placed my sd card into my old phone (Samsung Star2 S5263) only to find some of the files, images and videos are missing. When I tried to open those, it says invalid file format. Files which were absolutely fine a few minutes ago, now says invalid file format. When I have connected to the system, I haven't touched these files. Any reason why this happens? How to get the files back? (Those images are absolutely important!!) Thanks


title: Install app without touchscreen or ADB?

text: My phones **digitizer** seems to have **gone bad** (after 5hrs of few app updates and 3hrs of a fall, working twice after that for 10minutes). It doesn't seems that the USB Debugging option is enabled on the phone, due to which I **can't access phone using ADB**. I intend to **install a VNC server app** on my phone and use it to control the phone through my Laptop. Then try and isolate the apps to rule out if the apps caused the issue. Is it **possible** to install an app in my case**?** There are no passwords or screen locks set. Also just the power and volume buttons are working. I can go to Fasboot & Recovery mode but can't select any option. :( Please note: No data connection is turned on. So I can't install any remote app using Google Play store.

title: Samsung Galaxy S i897 not detected by PC

text: I have read every forum and every "help" site on Samsung's website and all over the internet. Nothing has worked. I bought an unlocked Galaxy S i897 on ebay, originally an AT&T phone but I'm using it on T-mobile. Is this potentially the problem? I've tried 2 different cords, only charges, never recognized in any Kies version and never recognized by PC like step 3 on this page says it should. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00045584&fm_seq=46246 Extremely frustrated at this point. I don't think calling t-mobile can help because the phone was AT&T. Samsung probably wouldn't help either because I bought it on ebay. Unless you think they would, then let me know. I just want to add music and transfer files back and forth, backup contacts, etc., and most importantly update my firmware (currently has Froyo).

All of this is on a rooted phone. Thanks.


title: Tasker: event works, state enter/exit not - Fixed by reinstall

text: FIXED! I reinstalled Tasker (also deleting remaining Tasker folder) and now it works as it should. Not a clue why it didn't work at first. I made a little program in tasker. Two tasks: activate stamina mode, activate normal mode. The first is activated when the screen is turned of, the other when it's turned back on. For this I used the events "Display off" and "Display on". Now I tried the 'Display state' state and set it to "off". Then added the 'activate stamina mode' task to its 'enter'. Also added 'activate normal mode' to the exit. Though for some reason this doesn't work. So my question is, why? Note: Using Cyanogenmod 10.1 on Xperia Z. Tasker version v4.0u1 Edit: I know it doesn't work because I added a notification & buzz to the task, these don't get fired. I also tried to add an exit and enter to the running of an app, and this DOES work. Very weird :s Thanks!

text: I've hosted a wifi network using a virtual router, with which the local area connection is sharing it's internet with. My Android device can connect to this wifi network and can access my laptop's internet. Now comes in Tor. On my laptop, Tor can be accessed on 127.0.0.1 via a Socks5 protocol. I'm trying to connect to this network from my Android device. I figured that all I need to do is acccess my laptops localhost from my device. Since my phone is connected to the laptop's wifi network, I should be able to access localhost by using my laptop's ip address (192.168.xx.x). Unfortunately this does not work. Any idea why? Is there a better way I can access the Tor running on my laptop from my device via Wifi or USB tethering? Windows 7 (Ubuntu 12.04 is available if a solution demands it), rooted Android on CM9. Orbot is not an option since it's unable to connect via the wifi's proxy.

I also tried "always allow" so the phone don't have to ask for permission. Nothing works! How did it work the first time?

title: What will happen if I "Clear data" for the "Settings" app? (com.android.settings)

text: I'm on a stable (Installer) build of Cyanogenmod 11 on a Galaxy Nexus, and for a while I've not been able to access 'Settings' at all - tapping on it to try to open it, gives me a "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." crash. I'm not a fan of unnecessarily wiping and re-flashing ROMs unless I absolutely have to - and I've got an idea, which is to 'Clear data' for the 'Settings' app (com.android.settings) and maybe that will make the crash go away and me be able to finally access Settings once again. But what will I lose by doing this? Will I lose important settings such as my (finely tuned) customised home screen icon layout, or my saved Wifi network passwords? Will it even delete my saved Google account(s) in the OS and possibly cause havoc as a result? And furthermore, Could backing up the 'Settings' app in Titanium Backup Pro (then restoring), be a solution to fully restore the app's settings if it does?

title: Hardware keyboard symbol [popup] problems

text: I am running CM10.1 (Andromadus flavor, based on Android 4.2) on a HTC Desire Z with built-in hardware keyboard. To input keys that are not present on the keyboard, there is a symbol key that pops up a dialog where the symbol can be selected. With CM10 this symbol set was somewhat complete, but with CM10.1 some of the essential symbols such as "<" and ">" are no longer available. So my questions are these:   * ~~Is there any way to fix this behavior to give me the complete set of symbols even in CM10.1?~~ (see answer below)   * ~~Where in the source tree is the code for this popup located? What component? I would be happy to hack it in order myself as long as I can find the relevant needles in the haystack.~~   * ~~Is there any app that can be used in place of the symbol popup? I am not talking about a complete soft keyboard, but rather a quick popup dialog where a symbol can be selected and inserted at the cursor position.~~   * How would I go about modifying my keymap to for example add "<" to Fn+comma? Shifted it's a semicolon, but Fn+comma is still the regular comma. **Edit:** Found the solution to the first question. The symbols aren't missing, the popup has just been split. If you have a Desire Z and are unable to find the "<" or ">" characters, hold the hardware key for "(" (press FN, then hold "G") and a popup will present "[", "{", "<". So, I have updated my question to if it's possible (and how) to modify the keymap to add characters to shifted keys on the hardware keyboard.

title: Is there an application that would turn on Wi-Fi periodically just to do a quick network discovery?

text: Regarding the answer to my previous question of Android's idle Wi-Fi use, it seems like a huge waste of battery life to have Wi-Fi constantly scanning and draining battery. So it seems it would be better to turn Wi-Fi off. However, I'd still want my Android to connect _automatically_ to my home network, for podcast sync and other large transfers. This woudn't need to be immediate, since I usually spend a long time at home. I do know there are apps that give me a Wi-Fi toggle widget, but I don't want to be constantly switching Wi-Fi on and off manually. I know it's only a minor bother, but it just seems silly to have to do that since it would be pretty easy to have logic that does it for me. **Question:** Are there any applications that would periodically (say, once ever 15 mins) turn Wi-Fi on just to do a quick network discovery, then in case a known Wi-Fi is found keep it on as long as I am in range? Further: Any pointers as to how hard such an app would be to write? For example in GNU/linux it would probably be easy to do with just a very simple shell script running on background - does Android work like that too, or is it a much harder task? (I expect this would in any case require rooting the system, but that's understandable and not a problem.)

title: How do I get a ROM onto my ICS (Android 4.0) tablet?

text: I have a Galaxy Tablet 10.1. I decided to root it, that went fine. Then I decided to upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich. That also went fine. It was only after upgrading that I discovered the camera does not work (yes, the warnings were there, but they weren't made very obvious). That sucks, so I wanted to go back down to an earlier version. I seem to have lost the ROM for my earlier version on the tablet, so I went to copy it back to my tablet, thinking that would be simple... But ICS doesn't let me connect to my computer via USB. After looking around the web, this is apparently because of a change in the way ICS is going to handle USB connectivity, which is an issue I don't want to embed myself into. All I know is I want to get out of ICS and back to Honeycomb. How can I get the ROM onto my tablet so that I can install it?

text: My new HTC One is great, but I do have one weird question. If there are pictures in a document it gives me an option to see the pictures, but it doesn't appear to show HTML on some e-mails. Instead it shows the subject in a link, but if I go in my desktop it shows the html look and feel. Any suggestions.


title: Scan a single channel to measure RSSI of a specific AP when not associated

text: I would like to (repeatedly) measure the RSSI of a given Wi-Fi access point while I am (physically) approaching it. It is important to mention that at the beginning, my phone is not associated with the AP, hence reading RSSI via `wpa_cli signal_poll` does not work. The best I have found so far is to repeatedly issue a `wpa_cli scan` and read the results using `wpa_cli bss <BSSID>`. However, this gives me new results with much too low frequency, as the scans take too much time. I target to get a new RSSI every second. (even if I limit scanning to the 5GHz band only, it is too slow). Is there any way to scan for a single channel only (as I know the channel the access point is transmitting on)?


title: Is Android 4.3 the same as 4.0.3?

text: I came across a Google play app that says version 4.0.3 and up required and I have 4.1. So do I have to upgrade because I rather not as my old apps ptobably will not work with 4.3. My question is whether it's a typo and they meant to say 4.3 or is my OS 4.1 good enough? Phone: S3


title: Galaxy Nexus sometimes loses home Wi-Fi network (Linksys E900)

text: I have Gnex stock 4.3, rooted. Sometimes it loses connection to home Wi-Fi, I take it and it has no Wi-Fi icon, and if I go to the settings it will say "Connecting..." and have one signal bar, it won't ever connect till I restart the router. I have Linksys E900 with WPA2, and "keep wifi during sleep - always" and "minimize wifi battery usage - on" in the phone. That never happened when I had AT&T u-verse router.


title: Android Native alternative to AirPlay

text: I want to give my old apple TV to my parents because my dad wants to stream files from his ipad to his tv. 2 Months ago I made the Switch from iOS to Android, 1.5 Years ago the switch from MAc to Linux. So I am now looking for a great alternative to Stream all that Media contents, but at least the Audio/Music from my Android Phone around my small flat (TV, Sound System in Living Room and some small Speakers in my bathroom) Is there a native way to do that, such as airplay in the apple world? Would be great, when the receivers would not be as expensive as an apple TV so less then ~100€ and would also work with pulseaudio (ubuntu) Ah, forgot to mention: It should be weather built in to the core android system or be a future of poweramp to save battery life and not messing around with another daemon.


title: Where is the scheduled message option?

text: I've upgraded my Galaxy Note II to Android 4.3 and if I open the menu when writing an SMS there is no scheduled message option anymore. Where is it gone?


title: Trash icon in default email app

text: I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. The trash icon has disappeared in the default email app. I can check the emails that I want to delete, but there is no trash icon. This is the same in all folders, which means I have select, read then delete the emails one by one. How can I fix this?
