title: Turning off cell broadcast messages in Ice Cream Sandwich

text: The phone is a stock HTC One X. The settings menu does not include a checkbox to enable/disable CB messages. They just keep popping up. **Update** : Halfer already gave the link to the wikipedia article about CB, which should explain it in more detail than I ever can. What it means to me is that I get location information as I move around in town. The screenshot here shows the checkbox for this feature on what I believe is Gingerbread: ![Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/rMDQE.jpg) **Update 2** : And this is the extremely boring message. This particular one just shows the carrier name, so it's even more useless and annoying than if it were showing location information: ![Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/2pl8O.jpg)

title: Enabling AdHoc Networking on ICS to Connect to AdHoc Devices

text: I'm looking for a way to connect my Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.0.x) to my laptop via adhoc wifi. (The laptop will act as my wireless NAS.) The WiFi Ad Hoc enabler for Android does not work on the Galaxy Nexus. (The statistics at at that link show 0 successes and 13 failures for GNex owners who tried it. However, it works for many other devices.) I also see this advice: You need a modified wpa_supplicant file in /system/bin. What modifications are needed to the wpa_supplicant file in /system/bin?

What is the best solution? Can anyone shed more light on the problem here?

title: How do I paste my password on Google Signin?

text: I change the password of my Google account on a frequent basis. My password is always a quite long alphanumeric string generated by a password manager. Typing it is really annoying, specially on a touch interface, so usually I copy and paste it. It works in-browser, but **I can't use long pressing to copy and paste on the "Google Signin" screen**. * * * Let me be more clear. When I change it from the desktop web interface, a few moments later my phone complains about an "Account action required". ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/GAQlx.jpg) Clicking the notification shows me a (native, browserless) screen that says: > Couldn't sign in: you typed an incorrect password or your account has > changed. Re-type your password. If you forgot your password and need to > recover your account click here. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/79mfI.jpg) Then it shows me another non-browser screen where it expects me to type my password. On this screen, I can paste as usual, by long-pressing near the cursor and then waiting for a "paste" button to apper. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/6gm1T.jpg) So far, so good. However, I have two-factor authentication turned on, and just typing my password isn't enough. I see a second screen that says: > Couldn't sign in: To access your account, you must sign in on the web. Touch > Next to start Browser signin. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/AtlUO.png) Then it opens what seems to be a browser-within-a-window, with my email address already typed and waiting for my password. The problem is, **I can't paste on this screen.** Long pressing does not show the "paste" button. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/4qk2Y.jpg) And if I trick it into showing me the button, then I can't submitting the password: I have followed this answer on a related question (writing a single characther and then long pressing), but then pressing the submit button produces no result at all.

title: Is it possible to change mount points of internal storage?

text: I have an off-brand rooted tablet built on MT8389 with 8GB internal memory. The problem is that manufacturer partitioned this in some weird way making `/data` folder mounted to a partition that is only 1GB large. Basically I have approximately 4GB of free space mounted as `/storage/sdcard0` but it sits unused while all installed apps occupy `/data` making the device close to useless as only core apps after updates eats over 60% of available space. After all Android is just another Linux flavour, so I would expect I could run console and do this:   1. Copy `/data` to `/storage/sdcard0`.   2. Umount `/storage/sdcard0`.   3. Mount `/data` to the partition that was mounted as `/storage/sdcard0`.   4. Mount that 1GB partition as `/storage/sdcard0` instead. Is it possible? How to do it "safely"? Note that I don't want to change partition sizes - I only want to swap mount points or create symlink to make `/data` point to a larger partition. In theory this should be pretty straightforward ;)

title: Not recieving messages from only one WhatsApp contact

text: When I first met the love of my life, he insisted that we use WhatsApp to communicate. He lives in Brasil and uses WhatsApp on his Windows Phone. I'm in the United States and use WhatsApp for Android on my Motorola Photon Q. Over the past few months, our ability to communicate through this app has deteriorated. He says he receives my messages, and that he replies to them, but apparently I don't see them. This is frustrating, to say the least, and puts a lot of unneeded stress on both of us. I've worried myself sick over it. He says that I'm the only one this happens to, and that communication with his Brazilian contacts works just fine. One of my friends in the Philippines just got WhatsApp for Android and I can communicate with him perfectly. I'm really clueless. I've scoured the Internet for answers, but I can't seem to find any. I can send messages, and in the rare time that I do receive the messages from my boyfriend, it is late at night. I never receive any during the day. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app countless times, and my WiFi connection at my house is perfect. But this seems to only be getting worse. He says he sends me several messages a day, but I only get some of the messages about every other day--usually every two days. I'm not a tech by any means, but it seems like there might be something wrong with the different versions of WhatsApp. Android communicating with the Windows Phone. So if this is the case, then my question here is unneeded. I've contacted WhatsApp Inc. with my concerns and have yet to receive a reply. This sucks, to say the least. UPDATE: I have contacted one of my boyfriend's friends in Brasil. I can communicate with them perfectly. They said y boyfriend said there was an issue with his phone. But I'm not sure that's the case. I uninstalled WhatsApp and downloaded it through WhatsApp's website. I can now see when my boyfriend is online and when he types. But I do not receive the messages he sends.

title: How much RAM should I allow an app to use, and how much should I always leave free?

text: I have a chess app on my 2012 Nexus 7 (running stock Android 4.3, with a few small background services) that allows me to set the size of an internal hash table used by the chess engine. Larger hash tables increase the performance of the chess engine, but it is ultimately limited by the RAM available on the tablet. Typically, the Settings app indicates that around 450-500 MB of RAM is free. How much memory should I allow the app to use, and how much should I leave free for the system? As I don't want to change this setting too often, can I rely on this amount of memory being available every time I use the app? (Note that the amount of memory used must always be a power of 2.) The other questions and answers I've read haven't really answered this question, so I don't believe this is a duplicate.

For some strange reason the phone charges normally when the USB cable is connected but Ubuntu just doesn't recognize the connected phone or its SD card. How do I rectify this problem?

Around one month back my it started showing message in notification bar '`internal sd card removed unexpectedly`' and after that sometimes phone hanged and I got black screen with samsung written like we get at boot time and sometimes there is multiple '`force close`' pop-ups of different apps on phone. Whenever phone gets hanged or it automatically shutdown I am able to restart it only after removing battery and putting it back again and it takes long time to boot up every time I restart. Now from last 3-4 days I am having following problems that were not there earlier-   1. If I install an app from market or through eclipse and I restart phone the app is not there.   2. If I uninstall an old app and I restart phone the app is not uninstalled, it is still there.   3. If I copy a file it does not show up or if I transfer a file through Bluetooth it is gone after restart of phone. However I am able to open old files or app. I don't have external SD card on my phone. Is problem with internal SD card of phone or some other OS or phone related issue. Anyone know how to solve above problems. Thanks in advance. Anuj

title: How to switch between touchscreen and mouse (or enable both)?

text: I have a BeagleBone with Android 4.1.2 and USB Keyboard and USB Mouse connected. With the DVI-D cape, keyboard and mouse work. But with the LCD7 cape, only the keyboard works. I assume that the touchscreen driver takes over and disables the mouse driver. How can I switch between touchscreen input and mouse input, or enable them both? (The reason that I want to use the mouse with the LCD is that the resistive touchscreen of the LCD7 cape is not enough responsive to use some Android applications. With the touchscreen it's e.g. nearly impossible to scroll within the Android settings dialog).


title: How could I set the default contact store?

text: I have an LG L5 (E610), running Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich MR1). Recently, I moved all my contacts that were stored as Phone or SIM contacts to Google contacts in order to get them synced. Now, I have only Google contacts. But, when I create a new contact, the default store seems to be the Phone store, and I find no option where I can set Google as the default store. Googling around a bit brought up one solution that _sounded_ reasonable: display only the Google contacts, in the address book, then Google will be the default for a new contact. But, even this doesn't work; if I only display Google contacts, my phone still selects the Phone storage as default and I **cannot see my newly created contact.** Any suggestions as to how I can set the default contact store? Or is this impossible?

title: Faulty battery status indication

text: I have a Huawei Honor U8860 with Android ICS. I use two Mugen Power batteries. I always use one battery until it's empty, then charge it to full while using the other battery. Recently Android battery level has started to behave incorrectly. The battery level drops dramatically, then stays at the same level for a long time. I experience similar behavior with all the three batteries I own: the Mugen Power batteries and the original battery. Below is the battery status chart at this moment. Suddenly the battery level dropped to 3 % yesterday, but it stayed there and I've been able to use the phone actively for another day since then. Clearly the battery is still performing well, but Android gets incorrect information about the charge, sometimes even shuts the phone down. I tried calibrating with Battery Calibration app, but the problem has only got worse. Any ideas what's causing the problem? How does Android get the battery level? From the electronics integrated into the battery or by deducing from the voltage level? What does the calibration actually do? ![Battery level chart](http://i.stack.imgur.com/7wTD2.png)

title: What kind of power saving smarts does Android already have?

text: I just d/l tasker and it's been really interesting (although not as interesting as I would've liked since I feel a lot of the good features require a root). I would like to optimize my Galaxy s3 so that it uses less battery power in a way that has minimal effect on my usage. I have a few suggestions but they seem fairly obvious things so I'm not sure if they are already implemented in the OS and I don't need to create a tasker profile for it.   * Turn off 3G when I've got WIFI on. I only need the mobile networks for phone calls when I've got wifi so I would prefer not to have 3G on.   * Turn off 3G if i'm in a low signal area - I hear if you're on the edge of 3G connectivity, it'll use lots of power constantly connecting to 3G. Does android have a way to stop that from running the battery down or should I create a tasker profile for it?   * Power saving mode on when the screen isn't on. There isn't much the phone needs to do when I'm not using it so are there already processes built into android to turn the CPU down etc. or do I need to create a Tasker profile for it? It can chew up to 25% of my battery life overnight sometimes. Anyway, do any of those profiles seem worthwhile to do or are they already built in features of android?

title: Why does Android Wi-Fi not get disabled?

text: I have Android 2.3.4. I have noticed that even When I turn off Wi-Fi, I still keep getting notifications, like - Gmail, Gtalk and Google+ notifications. If I open the said App then it says that it is not connected to internet. So, my hypothesis is that maybe when I disable Wi-Fi, Android does not terminate currently established connections. It only denies new connections. But this does not explain why in this case the notifications are usually delayed, sometimes, by few hours or a full day. What is happening and how do I actually disable the Wi-Fi? PS: I use the "Status Switch" widget to turn/off the Wi-Fi. UPDATE: the phone doesn't have a data plan, so data isn't coming in that way.

I haven't installed any new apps in the recent past, so I would be very curious to find out what Application is behind this. I've dumped logcat (with 'logcat -v time > log.txt') and gotten the last several hours of logs, but I have no idea what intent to search for. Is it possible to find the culprit this way? If not, how can I proceed with my witch hunt? Thanks for any advice!

title: Android device can support SD Card of up to 32 GB, so FAT32 is more suitable?

text: May I assume that there is no point to format your SD Card (assume you have the 32 GB size) to NTFS if the device can support SD Card of up to 32 GB and FAT32 maximum limit is also exactly 32 GB? The reason for asking such question is that since the device can only support 32 GB, so I can assume that NTFS will likely not be supported by the device, or I cannot assume in this way? And this FAT32 will be more suitable and likely to be accepted by major android devices?


title: Android devices with 2 SD Card Slots

text: As android devices support SD Card with up to 32 GB. Are there any android devices that support and have two SD card slots? This is to remove the hassle to remove a SD card and insert another SD card into the same slot, which might result in faster wear and tear to both the SD Card slots and the SD cards. Also, it will also mean that the android devices can support 2 x 32GB = 64GB space. Also, I will not need to spend lots of money on Internet bandwidth to access my data in the "Cloud"! And lastly, I will not be limited by the storage space capacity in my phone.

title: Anyone know the LG Ally screen density?

text: I'm doing some android development and one of the specific devices I need to test on is the LG ally. The tech specs on their web site list the display resolution as 480 x 800, but I also need the density in order to emulate the screen properly (the difference between 160 and 240 dpi is huge). Anyone know the screen density for the LG Ally?


title: where can i find settings for wifi internal scan period

text: I have already found some guide related to this. But my experience is that if `wifi.supplicant_scan_interval = 15`   my device scans for wifi with 60s period so I dont think that this is the right parameter for that.

title: How to use GPS/Maps without an Internet connection?

text: I need a way (possibly a third-party application) that allows me to use maps and GPS without an Internet connection. I don't use it by car, just for walking in cities. It would be nice if I could just copy all data relative to a particular city before going there for tourism. The Google Maps app does not store maps reliably, so it is risky to rely on it without an Internet connection.


title: Clock to use when giving presentations

text: When I give presentations, I have to keep an eye on the clock to make sure my speech does not take more than alloted time, or in the end to know whether I can take more questions. Looking at my watch is inconvenient, I would prefer my Android phone's large screen to:   * Just display the time (for example 14:28).   * Not go into standby mode.   * Hugest font possible, black on white, landscape. Sounds trivial. Is there such an app?   _Priority to free apps, biggest priority to open source apps._

text: While I can chose `Share` by a contact on my Droid's contact list, the Droid on the other end seems unable to open, or really do anything with, the resulting attachment if I receive it via Gmail or the normal mail client. Am I missing something? How do I import what I've shared?


title: com.htc.bg 'process stopped unexpectedly' on HTC Desire when Facebook sync active

text: Once per hour, I get a message on my HTC Desire saying that a process has stopped unexpectedly. It is the com.htc.bg process. The problem disappears if I disable the syncing of my Facebook account to the phone. To back this up, I have found that the list of contacts downloaded from Facebook is incomplete, so I am wondering if it is crashing halfway through the sync process. Rather than just disabling it to stop the error, I want the Facebook contact sync to work properly. Is there a way to fix this?

title: ADB Push not keeping file permissions, specifically execute permission

text: I "inadvertently" wiped system on my tablet with adb. No critique needed. I've already called myself all the names. What I need now is a way to put at least the "sh" program back on using adb or other program with “x” permission so that I can adb shell once again. Currently, adb removes the “x” permission when using the push option. I examined the adb source code and found one line in the sync section that seems to change permissions to 644. This is a project/challenge to recover this brick. I already have a replacement. Any solutions are welcome. Motherhood comments are not necessary please. Thanks. P.S. The recovery mode is not working on this tablet (i.e. pwr/vol+/vol-, fastboot, etc.).


title: Is there any way to Move applications in phone memory to SD Card?

title: Volume reset to 'safe level' on Charge Complete

text: The volume on my GS4 was automatically reset to the Android defined "Safe Level" when my phone reached 100% charge. What happened is that I was listening to music through headphones in Google Music. I also had my phone charging at the same time. When the battery got to 100%, it decreased the volume for a second so that I could hear the notification (normal behavior). After the _Full Battery_ notification, the volume of the music didn't return to normal. When I went to turn it back to where it was before, I got the "Listening to music at a high volume could ..." notification on the screen. Why would the phone being fully charge make the music volume to back to the Android defined safe level even though I had it set higher and was currently listening to something? (P.S. I looked through this Stack Exchange and didn't find an answer to my question, but if there is one, just let me know.)


title: Why does predictive text stop suggesting anything except custom words and contact names?

text: Without changing any settings or installing any apps that would (as far as I know) have any effect on the keyboard or dictionary, **the keyboard's predictive text randomly stops using any common dictionary words and only suggests words that I either manually added to the dictionary or words included in the names of my contacts**.   * Galaxy Nexus   * The default keyboard (not a downloaded app)   * Using Android 4.2.2   * Input language setting is "use system language"   * Add-on dictionaries installed: English and English (US) I've found similar questions, but they all seem to concern new phones or phones with new OS versions that _never_ had working text prediction, whereas mine did for years until recently and its OS hasn't been updated in over a year. **This happens inconsistently** , maybe a third of the time I fire up the keyboard and start typing, and with **no obvious pattern** regarding what app I'm typing in, what contact I'm texting, what other apps are open, etc. Obviously, this makes narrowing down the problem a nightmare. Why does this happen and how do I fix predictive text so that it uses the common dictionary again?

title: Minimum lcd brightness on android 4.2.1

text: I'm looking for a way to reduce the real brightness (the backlight) of my lcd. I'm using android 4.2.1 on a Star b94m/b943. I search for apps, and i found RootDim, which can decrease the light below the minimum 30/255 (default by android). I found another great app, Velis Auto Brightness, which allows to control the brightness in function of the light sensor. It can't go below the 30/255. So i thought if there were a method to reduce the default android brightness i could use Velis Auto Brightness (so auto brightness) AND use lower than 30/255 levels. I tried this tweak of build.prop How can I reduce screen brightness below the minimum without an app? but it didn't work. Any other ideas? Thank you!

title: Polaris Office cannot set Date Format to UK

text: how can we change the input & displaying of dates in Polaris Office to UK format? The devices are set in Settings/System/Date and Time/Select date format to UK style (dd/mm/yyyy). The default within Polaris seems to be yyyy/mm/dd. Other android users wrongly think this is UK format. You can change the date format of cells to be any of the following:   * yyyy/mm/dd (default)   * mm/dd/yyyy (US format)   * mm/dd   * dd-month-yy   * dd-month   * month-yy   * month-yy   * month dd, yyyy   * dd month yyyy (almost UK format) Ideally we need the correct UK date format dd/mm/yy or dd/mm/yyyy as this is already in our source files. We cannot change this (only the format of the cells) as users will be working on files generated from MySQL in MS Access and outputted to .xlsx This seems an oversight on Polaris part, but I don't see much 'chatter' about it around the web, so should we notify Polaris of this?

title: GMail stops syncing after an hour or so

text: A few days ago I noticed that sometimes emails were getting stuck in the Outbox in GMail on my Samsung Droid Charge. That was when I noticed that my Inbox count was showing unread messages, but the inbox wasn't showing the messages. I made sure the the correct label was selected (Inbox) and tried syncing/refreshing, but to no avail. I can go to mail.google.com and see my emails loaded. This situation seems to be caused by trying to send an email or refresh when my 4G connection is spotty. I tried force closing GMail then restarting it, but that doesn't work. Restarting my phone is the only thing that appears to get GMail to sync again, but it stops after an hour or so. I have even tried clearing all data, but that didn't work. When I did that, GMail told me that it would load data soon, but it stayed in that state for hours until I restarted the phone.

title: map physical button to auto-rotate switch in android?

text: I would like to map the auto-rotate lock toggle/switch/setting to a physical button in a device. how do I do that? On the linux side of android, in linux/input.h, there are different KEY events, SW(switch) events and a lot more. fortunately, the rotation lock is there(SW_ROTATION_LOCK), however it is a switch event type, not a key event type... Looking in my key layout file (.kl file), all items that are listed there are key events... On the other hand, the assigned events to these keys are constants in the android framework. looking at http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html where valid key maps are listed, I assume. What I have done: Registered the physical button to recieve the rotation lock as a switch event on the board configuration settings... (imx6 board) all that's left is on the android side I believe.. so, anyone knows how to map the button to auto-rotation lock/switch?

title: How do I import a KML route into OsmAnd?

text: I created a route using **Google Maps** and exported it as a KML file. I would like to import now this KML file into **OsmAnd** so I could check where I am. So far I found out that it is possible to create a map from a KML file with theOsmAndMapTileCreator program. However, I cannot find one, all I have is OsmAndMapCreator -- and this program does not allow me to import KML in the first place (at least I don't see such option at all). Thus, I cannot prepare a map for OsmAnd (from KML; in general I prepared regular OSM map for OsmAnd using this program). Since I didn't find any working solution with true off-line KML route imported, I use Google Maps with a pre-loaded route. There is a catch though - if I forget it is cached, and I switch anything in Google Maps I will lose this route when biking. So it is not reliable enough -- just workaround. The bottom line is -- I have KML file, I have OsmAnd, I would like to import the former into the latter. How do I do it?


title: how to remove sticky (permanent) notifications from notification bar?

text: I have a buggy app installed in my phone, which sometimes creates permanent download progress notification with animated icon but **fails to remove it from notification bar** by its own. I tried to remove the notification manually (swipe it off) but it is sticky and can't be removed. I tried "clear" option in notification bar, but again no success and it is still there! I even stopped that app which created the notification, but no change. The only option that I have to remove such sticky and buggy notifications is to restart the device, which is very unpleasant. **Which app, hack, command, gesture, etc... I can use to remove that sticky notification?** *My device is **`Sony Xperia S`** running **`ICS 4.0.4 stock ROM`** _(rooted)_


title: Mount a folder from external sd as /data

text: How do I mount `/mnt/sdcard/data` as `/data`. Right now the `/data` has its own partition but it's too small (~500mb) and I would much rather give it more space than move apps and other things to my SD card. My device is Micromax Canvas 2 A110. It has a ~2GB internal sd card mounted at `/mnt/sdcard2`   and an external one at `/mnt/sdcard` and `/sdcard`   (I'm on some custom rom that switches internal and external default mount points like that) I don't know what filesystem those are in.


title: Convert Internal Storage to Phone Storage

text: I have a Wiko Darkmoon running 4.2.2 (Wiko hasn't upgraded to 4.4 yet). The phone is advertised as having 4gb storage, which breaks down as   1. Cache: ~123MB, /cache   2. Internal: ~1008MB, /data   3. Protect:~9MB, /protect_s   4. Sdcard2: ~1749MB, /mnt/sdcard2   5. System:: ~690MB. /system Total: ~3579MB ~ 3.5GB. (info retrieved using FreeSpace https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.krikun.freespace). On top of this I have mounted a 32GB SD card (/storage/sdcard0). My options are to by default use the external sd card. Unfortunately the /data is full and it basically prevents me to install more programs. Also, the Sdcard2 thingy is supposed to be internal and it's completely free. My question is, can I convert Sdcard2 to mount with /data? Having +1GB in /data would alleviate my storage constraints a lot. I googled and searched here and it seems this is not a common issue. Most of the things I've read are about mounting everything in the external SD card, which is not the same I want to do: I want to reuse the internal 1.7GB by joining it to Internal (/data) partition. Cheers!


title: Duration of System Update - Nexus 4 (after download) - 4.4.2 to 4.4.3?

text: How long is it supposed to take to install the system update, I think from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3, on a Nexus 4? I downloaded the 70 MB and after the phone restarted, it attempted to install the system update for the last 2+ hours. The progress bar starts, goes all the way to the end, the screen goes black for a split second and then the install screen appears again with the bar starting at the beginning again. The phone is not brand new anymore, but I would expect it to go faster. If this is too long and maybe an error occurred, can I cancel the update process by pressing >Vol-Down + Power Button< without having to worry about an unusable phone afterwards?


title: APN not saving on Kitkat

text: I have an LG G2 rooted, running Android 4.4.2. I've put my existing EE Orange UK SIM in, and there are no APNs listed. Whenever I try and add the EE settings and then save them, the APN list remains blank. How can I add my carriers APN settings? I have tried:   1. Installing APN backup & restore app, setting as a system app in Titanium Backup and moving to the priv-app folder. Then deleting all APNs, resetting the phone. Still can't add an APN.   2. Creating a basic APN record, without all of the settings. That saves so that I can see it in APN list screen but when I update the record to include all of the settings it disappears again.   3. Looking at the apns-conf.xml file. There are loads of settings in here, but I'm not sure what this file does.


title: Battery dropping from 90% to 0%

text: I've had the same device for quite some years now, and played a lot with it changing ROMs a few times. Recently I've been experiencing sudden drops in battery charge, here's a screenshot: ![battery usage](http://i.stack.imgur.com/iJOnKm.png)   Battery Usage (screenshot; click image for larger variant) What could be the reason for this? Is the battery old and faulty and in need of a replacement? Or is the current ROM (Chromium ROM Build 11) faulty? I am prepared to see a degradation in battery life after so many years, but I would expect the drop to be linear. Instead it is lasting quite long while in stand-by, and drops quickly when I use it, but no app appears to be draining it. EDIT: I've tried resetting battery stats, it's of no use.

text: I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S II Epic (with Android version 2.3.6 installed), and whenever my phone reaches 10% battery life it prompts me to turn on power- saving mode (and I do). However, once my phone is fully charged, I'd like to turn off the settings that power-saving mode comprises (lowered screen brightness, shorter display timeout, etc.) I see no way to do this in Android except by manually going through the settings and resetting them to the non-power-saving-mode levels. Is there a better way?

title: Why does Battery doctor interfere with the Google play store to update /download the Application

text: I have Battery Doctor 4.9.3 installed on my Samsung Galaxy trend device with Android jellybean 4.1.2.   * The problem with this app is that every time I try to update an app it starts initially and then later the download crashes.   * Also there is What's app running parallel so just for few seconds I shift to chat and in the background I can see the app getting updated.   * After just few seconds when I return to the play store the download fails for which I need to re-update the app every time (after 30% it again crashed and then later I again re-update). In the app there Is an option for smart Saving which I have turned it on. Although the app works fine for saving the battery but it is interfering with Google Play to update or download the app while I move to another screen it is closing it after few seconds

And, generally, the more data available, the better. So - have I just missed the right app; is there no such thing out there (and I'm free to write the first one); or is such data simply unavailable and I can just give up?

title: How to root samsung Galaxy Note 2014 edition?

text: I searched the forum but there was no entry for my specific device. I have an unlocked Galaxy note 10.1, 2014 LTE edition which I'd like to root. Motivations include ability to install a Linux virtual machine and getting rid of the enormous amount of firmware installed (plus remapping the keys, etc). So I wanted to ask 1-How I can root my device. I also have a few related questions whose answers I couldn't find by searching the internet: 2-If I root, will I be using the same OS that I have now, just with superuser access, or would I get "vanilla Android"? I saw a video on youtube about rooting the same device but it needed downgrading to a lower version of Android??? Among samsung's firmware I only use those for the S pen, and I'd like to have them available after rooting. 3-It seems that I need special PC programs for rooting my device. Is there any such software for Linux?
