title: Tether from PC to android via USB

text: Is there a way to tether a PC's ethernet or WiFi connection to a Samsung Galaxy Fame using Jelly Bean 4.1? What I would like to do is to be able to access the internet on the phone using the PC's internet connection, via USB or wifi. My PC runs Ubuntu and Windows (Dual Boot) so either of these operating systems will work.


title: transfer music files to Nexus 4 from computer with Windows 7

text: I have a Nexus 4, and have tried - and failed - to transfer some music downloads (FLAC 16bit) from my Windows 7 computer. When I connect the phone, I can transfer the files and the computer tells me it succeeds, but I can't find any music on my phone. The alleged folder the music should go to is called `Internal Storage/Music`. Where is this folder on my phone?


title: Bootloop using Sony Xperia Arc S (LT18i)

text: Hey guys so I'm in boot loop. Yes I know there are many guides all over saying how to fix it but I have tried many of them and they didnt work. What happens is I start the phone, it shows the boot image and then restarts after a time. I can boot into the Recovery mode by spamming the back button when the Logo comes. And can install zip files from the SD card. I also have tried flashtool to restore it to stock but when i try flashing it detects my device "Device connected in flash mode" but when i try toflash it, it gives an error "Error flashing. Aborted". Any help?


title: Random App Crashes (Nexus 4 ~ 4.3)

text: Within the last few days my Nexus 4 has started behaving strangely. This is a completely stock Nexus 4 running the official 4.3 build. Not even bootloader unlocked. What happens is that random apps will begin crashing, usually Google apps like Gmail, Settings, etc. If I try to report the crash, the crash reporter also crashes. I plugged the phone in to check the logcat and all of the error messages are the same:               FATAL EXCEPTION: main E/AndroidRuntime(31480):     java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not create an EGL context.     eglCreateContext failed with error: EGL_SUCCESS     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at android.view.HardwareRenderer$GlRenderer.createContext(HardwareRenderer.java:1192)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at android.view.HardwareRenderer$GlRenderer.initializeEgl(HardwareRenderer.java:1044)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at android.view.HardwareRenderer$GlRenderer.initialize(HardwareRenderer.java:979)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at android.view.ViewRootImpl.performTraversals(ViewRootImpl.java:1536)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at android.view.ViewRootImpl.doTraversal(ViewRootImpl.java:1004)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at android.view.ViewRootImpl$TraversalRunnable.run(ViewRootImpl.java:5481)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at android.view.Choreographer$CallbackRecord.run(Choreographer.java:749)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at android.view.Choreographer.doCallbacks(Choreographer.java:562)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at android.view.Choreographer.doFrame(Choreographer.java:532)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at android.view.Choreographer$FrameDisplayEventReceiver.run(Choreographer.java:735)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:730)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:92)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:137)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5103)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:525)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:737)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:553)     E/AndroidRuntime(31480):    at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)      Rebooting the phone temporarily solves the problem. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks


title: Why do I only have 304 MB of available storage space?

text: I have AlphaRev Oxygen R2, 4Ext Touch Recovery, AN-Droid 2.2.0 with Android 2.3.3 on my HTC Desire. But I have only 304 MB of available internal storage space after the first boot up. Now I installed Shazam and it shrank down to 296 MB. Shouldn't this number stay the same when I install an app? I mean I have formatted my SD card in 4Ext and created a 2 GB Ext4 partition for apps. Are the apps being installed on internal memory anyway? How do I check that? And if so, how do I tell it to install to the SD-Ext partition instead? This ROM is supposed to come with integrated App2SD+. Ain't that right? If not, can you suggest another ROM that has integrated App2SD+ or tell me how to set it up manually? ![304 MB available](http://i.stack.imgur.com/qpfYH.png) I want memory, man!!

title: Is it possible to clear-default of an app using an ADB command?

text: Not sure if that's the place to ask this (maybe stackOverflow is better), but here we go: ## Background There are plenty of possible commands that you can perform by using ADB. I use many of them on my tiny **app-manager** alternative app. ## The problem I can't find a way to clears the default of a specified app. I mean the clearing of the app as the default one to handle some actions, as being shown on the "app-info" (AKA "manage-app") screen. ## What I've tried In the past, it seems that it was possible by having a certain permission and some API commands, but it's no longer possible. A possible workaround would be to disable&enable the app, but that causes weird things to happen on some other apps, for example launchers will remove the app's icon when it becomes disabled. I've also noticed a file on :               /data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml      that has some xml tags that include apps, and when I clear-default of an app, it is gone from this file. I don't think that playing with this file would be a good workaround, as things can change over time, and I don't even know if changing it will do anything, especially not in the current session. ## The question If there is no such a command? Is there any way to do it using root?


title: How can I access files on a Seagate GoFlex Satellite wifi or Kingston Wi-Drive?

text: My final goal is to programmaticaly access files on a Wifi/USB storage device, like a Seagate GoFlex Satellite wifi or Kingston Wi-Drive (preferred because less expensive). The storage devices are made to be connected to a PC by USB and also can be connected to Android (and iPhone) by wifi. Once connected, it is possible to put files on the hard drive over wifi using a custom Android application provided by the manufacturer (like Kingston Wi- drive or Seagate GoFlex Access™ app)? How do they do this? Can I access on my filesystem with program like Astro ?

title: Is my device moving apps to the SD Card or not?

text: I have the LG Optimus F6 and I used Towel Root (one-click root for lots of devices). When I download App To SD card applications, it says "Your device has no real internal storage and does not support moving apps to the SD card." When I go to Settings >> Storage >> Apps, however I see that some apps are on the SD Card (because you can't click it and it says "Move to Phone.") But then when i go to other apps it doesn't show that any apps are on the SD Card. What should I believe?


title: Bootloop on CM 10.1, freezes at wiping data

text: Device Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 gsm (p4, p7500) It started as an infinite bootloop, but it was loading on to CM 10.1 for a minute or two at first. So I decided to go back to previous nightly release and through the Settings quickly presed to install previous release. After that tablet just stopped botting and freezes at CM spinning logo. I have tried to wipe the data from recovery, but it stucks on formatting /data. I tried several times - everytime it stucks. I have updated CWM to 6.0.3.1 version, but it doesn't wipe either. As a last resort I have installed OEM samsung ROM, but it loads to samsung logo and doesn't load further. But I can still load into recovery, but now it is a stock recovery mode I guess, not a clockwork recovery mode. Any thoughts how to reanimate my tablet?

title: What's in Chrome's data?

text: I'm running stock 4.1.2 on a Wolfgang AT-AS43D4 (not rooted). According to _DiskUsage_ , I have about 755 MiB app storage in total, of which I have currently around 100 MiB free space left, so I try to keep the internal storage as empty as possible. I see Chrome taking up 94.4 MiB, (134 MiB after the latest update) of which about 24.3 MiB is data (up to 28 MiB by now). My question is twofold: What is in there? What does Chrome keep there that's ~~almost~~ over 25 MB big? How can I _selectively_ clean that? I can delete the data wholesale, but I don't want to. Is there any other way? I tried various options in Chrome, but couldn't find anything useful. * * * Edited: a previous version of this question mentioned an `insufficient memory` error. This had little to do with the question; I was conflating RAM and app storage.

title: How are the gallery application edits applied to images?

text: I noticed today that if you apply filters or modify an image using the gallery application, it applies the changes to the image, rather than creating a new image with the changes. My first thought was that it was not a good idea. Sometimes you want to keep the original, untouched image, as well as the modified image, maybe for comparison purposes, or to try different filters or settings. In my case I was playing with the curves, and then I saved the image. I wanted to compare the new image with the original, but the original was gone. I decided to go back to the curves settings, and saw that the curves were still as I had set them, which means I can just restore the curve for each channel and that will give me back the original image. I decided to do a test with another image. I opened a new image, applied a filter from the preset filters, and saved the image. Then I went back to the image, and edited it again, but this time I removed the filter, and the image was back to normal. My first thought was that the gallery image applied non-destructive edits. Something similar to what some editing software does. The one that comes to mind is Shotwell, although this is more of a viewer than and editor, but it has some limited functionality to play around with the saturation, levels, and other settings. It didn't seem likely that the gallery application in adroid was doing that because other image viewing applications showed the image with the filter applied to it. I decided to connect the device to the computer using a USB cable. I navigated to the camera folder, and opened the image in the computer, and it showed the modified image. This means that the image is being modified. While the devices was still connected to the computer, I decided to remove the filter, and open the image again in the computer. The image was back to original. How is android able to modify the image file directly, and then restore it to original. Is it saving the original file somewhere else? > How to reproduce: > >   1. Open the Gallery application (the default one) >   2. Chose an image to edit, and touch the little pencil on the lower left > corner of the screen. >   3. Edit your image, touch the save button, or just press the back button. > It will ask if you want to save the image. Save it. >   4. Touch the pencil again, remove the filter. >   5. Your image is back to original. > Device: Nexus 7 OS: Android 4.4.2

title: A phone as a home 4G modem/router?

text: I live in a rural area where traditional cable, fiber, and even DSL are not a possibility. I am using a weird wireless system a local ISP set up for this area, but its flaky, slow and expensive. The only thing it really has going for it is there are no data caps. I can get 4G signal for T-Mobile, however (and Verizon, but their data caps drove me away), and I'm considering making my home internet connection consist of a dedicated Android phone on a T-Mobile 4G unlimited contract, using its WiFi hotspot. (I would probably set up another wireless router for the actual LAN so I'd have good coverage of the house, but it would use the phone's network as its uplink.). I would use a phone rather than a USB modem to take advantage of T-Mobile's unlimited data package. Is this a bad idea? Would the phone fry if I left it on and broadcasting its WiFi hotspot 24/7? I have an N5 but I've never used the hotspot for an extended period before - are they flaky? Would it drop IPs or anything like that and require reboots? Would T-Mobile decide I'm breaking a rule and throttle me down?

text: I used the official Motorola upgrade tool and updated my Motorola Defy to Froyo (French firmware). Before the update, when I held the Q key on the Swype keyboard, many languages options were offered, and among them there was the Polish language. Now I don't have that option anymore, as there are far fewer languages available. Is there any way to have that language installed back? I have tried Manylocale2, but it does NOT what I need: it changes the locale, but it will not add any languages to the language menu... Thanks


title: How to stop Android shell from echoing control characters?

text: When I su to root, any control character that I type is echoed by the Android shell. For example, when I type "ls /sd" followed by a tab, instead of displaying the default tab completion of "/sdcard", the shell prints out "ls /sd" followed by the tab space. The tab completion appears to work behind the scenes, however. When I press the Enter key, the contents of "/sdcard" are listed. As a more obvious example, when I press the "Ctrl" key followed by an R (Ctrl-R) or an E (Ctrl-E), the shell displays ^R and ^E, respectively. This happens under both Jack Palevich's Android Terminal Emulator and the localhost connection mode of ConnectBot (I haven't tested with any remote host), and under both the default CyanogenMod shell and bash. My attempt to work around the problem by changing command prompt settings ($PS1) had no positive effect. I also tried the stty command but the obvious options like "-echo" don't work for me either. Is there some command that will prevent the shell from echoing the control characters? Or better, is there a shell configuration option that I need to explicitly set? At the moment, I have to type blindly when using tab completion and the Ctrl key as root.

title: Android keeps asking "Sign-in to WiFi network" even if WPA/WPA2 is already authenticated

text: I'm trying to connect to a DLink Router protected with WPA/WPA2. It's our home router and I can connect perfectly to it from laptops and desktops, Linux and Windows alike. But when I connect to it using my Android phone (XPeria Z), I am always notified to "Sign-in to WiFi Network" after I've entered the WPA/WPA2 password. Tapping into the notification loads a 404 page from my router. Then, from my browser, trying to load any website just keeps looping to this 404 page. Other apps that connect to the internet do report connection problems. Being that I'm not on a data plan and always connect via WiFi, I can't install any diagnostic tools unfortunately. FWIW, I've ensured that the connection to my router _does not use_ WiFi Protected Set-up. I've also tried connecting to the router through an old Samsung Galaxy Y, with Android 2.x to same results. I wonder if this is a problem with my phones or with my router?

title: Disabling ALL roaming?

text: It's relatively easy to disable data roaming on an Android device in the "Wireless & networks" settings section, but the phone still tries to connect to other services via roaming like voice and SMS. Is there a way to disable ALL roaming whatsoever? I know about airplane mode, but that completely disables all connectivity, and it's also annoying to have to remember to keep turning airplane mode off and on again when I enter/leave the vicinity of this network. I'd like to be able to connect to my network but not allow any roaming. Why disable? Becuase the network offering the roaming isn't one I trust, as I think it may be intercepting and recording my data. So I don't want my phone to use it.

title: Sporadic incorrect time on Galaxy S3

text: My S3 has been displaying the wrong time lately; maybe 3 or 4 times in the last week. It's not off by exactly an hour, so I know it's not a timezone or daylight-saving-time issue. It's usually off by 15 to 25 minutes; just enough to make me late to work. It's not only a 3rd-party app or widget issue; the actual phone time is wrong (in the upper, right-hand corner near the signal indicator). My wife has an older Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and this never happens on her phone. We live together (obviously), so our phones are in the same location, and we use the same provider; so I don't think it's a network/signal/tower issue. Any ideas what would cause this. I've searched around, and all I can find are forums w/ 6 pages of "Me too" responses. A couple definitive answers/suggestions would be welcome. UPDATE - I've disabled the automatic date/time settings, but the problem still comes back. I've worked on desktops and laptops for years, and they all use a CMOS battery to keep track of time... even when a computer is off. Do phones have anything similar?

title: What does the "O2 Menu" app do?

text: My Samsung Galaxy Mini has an app on it called "O2 Menu". I did not install it, so I can only assume it was installed by the vendor prior to selling it to me (the phone is on Tesco Mobile PAYG, which appears to be provided by O2, so this seems plausible). This app does not have any user interface as far as I can see (it certainly doesn't have an icon in the launcher), yet it runs on my phone constantly, restarting instantly if I "force close" it. It has a very liberal set of permissions. What does this app do? Is there any way I can stop it (my phone is rooted)?


title: IMEI number publicly displayed whenever connected to Wifi

text: I connected to Wifi (using a HTC Desire using Android 2.3) and a friend used an app (I think it was on an iPhone) to display information about devices connected to the Wifi hotspot. I can accept the MAC address being available but isn't having your IMEI number publicly available make it easy for people to do negative stuff like clone it, then fake a phone on the same network with the same MAC address etc? Or just report the phone stolen by phoning a network and giving the IMEI number? Why is it visible anyway? Can I change that field for the purposes of Wifi connectivity? Note: I am in no way asking here for information on how to change the IMEI number of my phone - I know it's illegal in many places, and I agree with the law. I just don't see why the IMEI number is relevant in this situation. Update - to answer your questions/comments: The Apple app is called Fing. I saw the app running; my friend is not teasing/lying. I'm 99% sure I was running the latest version of stock Android on the Desire, and not Cyanogenmod (which I later switched to). I can't see that it's possible to turn a MAC address into an IMEI address. The network uses WPA2. He wouldn't have had time to crack it. I'm not aware Fing has a live, free, online WPA2 cracking capability.


title: How can I prevent my media library from disappearing when I unmount the SD card?

text: I have a rooted stock HTC Rezound and frequently connect it to the computer as a USB mass storage device. After each time I do this, once I'm disconnected and my SD card is mounted, my media library disappears and I have to rescan my card. This appears to be related to the mounting and unmounting of the card. This has never happened under the same circumstances with other phones. Having to rescan the card is not a big deal but I have several alarms set to use mp3s and I have to rest then every time and that is a pain. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Run Gingerbreak, click “root device”   3. Observe that `Superuser.apk` has been magically installed, possibly along with `busybox` and other things, and enjoy your rooty goodness. What I am wanting to know is this: how does the rooting actually happen? What does Gingerbreak do? I understand the end result of rooting:   * `su` is present and working   * `Superuser.apk` is installed and controls access to `su`   * Various utilities are present, provided by BusyBox (optional?) I also think I understand the basic idea of how Gingerbreak gets started — it exploits some local privilege escalation vulnerability and uses its new-found powers to deploy Superuser and whatever else is necessary. So, unless I am wrong in some of the understanding I laid out above, the core of thing I want to know is what the root installer does to deploy and activate Superuser. It seems that just putting `Superuser.apk` in the right place wouldn't be enough — how does it get allowed root access? How does it get hooked up to moderate that access for other applications? What does Gingerbreak do post-exploit to enable and secure root access?


title: Dual SIM: Disable telephony features on second SIM

text: I have a Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 (GT-S7582) with two SIMs. I'd like to use one of those SIMs for everything telephony related, the other SIM for everything data related. I managed to set the first card to be the default SIM for outgoing calls, and I deleted the APN for the first card so that only the second SIM is used for data. However, I still receive calls for the number of the second SIM. I also get the choice to call using the second SIM, which I do not want. How can I disable receiving calls from the second SIM? How can I fix telephony/data even harder to the individual SIMs? Android version: 4.2.2 EDIT: As a first workaround, I disabled the default ringtone for the second SIM. This way only the display lights up, which is easy to ignore.


title: How is LTE data usage battery usage tracked, if at all?

text: I'm having a debate with a friend about how much battery usage LTE uses. In my experience, and apparently that of many people, disabling data grants a significant (30%) or so increase in battery life. My friend disagrees this is likely, his reasoning being they would not track all things that use power such as screen, and fail to account for data usage if it were significant. I can't actually find any technical details on how much additional battery is used if LTE data is enabled or if it is monitored by Android at all. Does anyone have information on either of these points?

I have tried Wireless Tether for Root Users and Barnacle but they only create Adhoc connections for tethering which is different than becoming a hotspot. My phone:   * Motorola Droid 1   * Rooted Android 2.2 w/ any ROM you tell me will get WAP going   * Verizon Wireless **Edit:** Just a preemptive request... Please don't suggest PDAnet. Someone always does.

title: Can I turn off autocomplete/autocorrect for Google Maps?

text: When I want to type in a location to get directions, Google Maps brings up a list of suggestions under the textbox. That's fine, but then when there's only one suggestion left, Google Maps overrides what I was typing with that (invariably incorrect) suggestion. This makes it all but impossible to actually put what I want because even if I go back and edit, Google Maps will just clobber my text again. How do I make it stop? I don't see anything under Settings, either in the phone or the app. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S3. It would be ideal if I could keep the suggestions under the box without the automatic completion, but I'd settle for just turning it all off.


title: Set up an automated SMS server with Android (and a computer)?

text: I'm looking for a way to set up an SMS server (I don't know if there is better terminology for this, but probably). What I want:   * use the phone as an SMS gateway for an automated server    * let the phone send and receive messages   * use a computer to command the phone what to do Specific example use case: The phone gets an SMS message `[family] The party today will start at 2pm.` Which the computer will interpret and will order the phone to send the message over to all the numbers the computer has in the `family` list. Or f.e. `[add]family,0123456789` to let it add numbers to lists. So what do I exactly need? An app that can send all it's incoming messages to an HTTP server and can receive orders from that same server. Of course USB would be a better method than HTTP because it's safer.


title: Phone turns off at random

text: I have a note 1 N7000, and each time the screen began flickering and after that it shut down. This got worse after flashing a cyanogenmod rom. By plugging in the charger the battery seemed empty, but wasn't. After a while the battery indicator used to show charged 70 % or more. Put the charger cable off and the situation repeated after a short time of usage. Last night it started turning off at boot and wouldn't turn on unless on charge. I flashed a original JB rom since the problem doesn't happen when on recovery/download mode. but now it does it even when connected on charge. How can I fix this?

The stylus works fine with my Galaxy S3 and a friend's iPad 2. Is this a copatabilty issue with the stylus and tablet, or could it be the grounding issue that many of the Nexus 7s seem to be experiencing?

title: How can we see deamon proceses in Android?

Reason for asking is that recently I came to know that `adb` (Android Debug Bridge) is a daemon process running on our Android device.

So specifically, I want to view this daemon process's status and find more details about it like what port it is listening to. My device is running Android 4.0.4 (ICS). Device is rooted of course. I have installed terminal emulator and busybox. Any suggestion/help is appreciated.

This happens with every restart and only with every restart I am able to see the correct state of the battery.

After this, it was always booting to boot menu and I didn't know how to make it boot into the system, so I changed the "Boot" option default to something like "Normal", I think. Now when starting the phone, all I see is the Google logo which stays there indefinitely. I can still boot to bootmenu and tried a number of times to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and re-install the CyanogenMod 7.2 zip, but it still can't get out of the infinite loop. Any ideas?

title: Applications think that GPS is off while it is on

text: I have a Prestigio Multiphone 3400 with Android 4.2.2. The phone is new and not rooted. In Settings -> Personal -> Location Access, there are two checkboxes:   1. Access to my location   2. Wi-Fi & mobile network location Both of them are checked. But the only application with working GPS is Google Maps. I tried for example GPS Test and GPS Essentials, but they both show GPS is off / GPS is currently disabled. In the Settings -> Device -> Apps -> (application name) there is "This app can access the following on your phone:" followed with "approximate location (network-based)" and "precise location (GPS and network-based)" Why are the Google Maps special? And why other apps cannot use GPS, while the permissions are obviously granted?


title: Google Maps runs GPS in background even if the GPS radio is off - how do I fix?

text: _I have the T-Mobile version of the LG G2, running Android 4.2.2, everything stock except the keyboard. I'm not sure what version of Google Maps, but the Play Store says it's up to date._ Yesterday I noticed that the G2's battery was draining a lot faster than it had been. I had thought it was just because I had been listening to music a lot more that day, but then when I checked the battery app that night it said that Google Maps was responsible for _half_ the battery drain. I had used it earlier that morning for directions and it had apparently run the GPS in the background for 11 hours straight. I thought it was a one-off, but it happened again today. I've attached a screenshot. The GPS on my device is _off_ as far as I can tell (i.e. the visual indicator in the tray is dark), so I don't know whether Google Maps is turning it on stealthily and forgetting to turn it off, or whether it's trying to find a GPS signal, can't because the radio is off, and gets stuck in a loop looking for it. I'm assuming the former because there's no CPU activity, just GPS. When I click the "Location Services" button, these are the settings:   * Access to my location: **ON**   * GPS Satellites: **OFF**   * Wi-Fi & mobile network location: **ON** So it shouldn't be happening. Why does this happen and how can I fix it? I suppose I can just remember to force stop Google Maps every time I use it, but I'm hoping for a better solution. ![Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/zYd90.jpg)   Screenshot (click for larger variant)

It wasn't the battery that was hot, it was the sd card slot on my Samsung Galaxy SII.

No success so far, data has been toasted. Any tips besides a replacement?

title: Android software runs differently based on different battery chargers?

text: I have a Samsung Galaxy **Nexus** and a Samsung Galaxy **Mini2**. In mid-August I lost my GNex battery charger; then I started charging the GNex with the Mini2 battery charger.   Their specifications are:               GNex : Volt 5,0 Ampère 1.0     Mini : Volt 5,0 Ampère 0.7      Since the second battery charger has a lower Ampèrage, it _should_ charge the phone exactly like the original one, but taking more time; In mid-September, the GNex started doing strange things: the charge was degrading faster than before (I'm used to charge it every two days, while from mid-september I charged it every day), and THE PHONE BECAME SLOW. I mean **SLOW**. Even if restarted and powered on from few minutes, the Application button took about 4-5 seconds. Before it was instant and smooth, about 0.2 seconds. In mid-October I found my original battery charger, and started using it again. After a couple of charges... the phone has returned to be superfast. Talking with a friend (physicist), it said it must be a software (or hardware) thing. A wanted behavior set up in order to slow the phone down when not using the original battery charger. I said that it sounded a bit like conspiracy stuff, then he argued that it is more likely than the electrons remembering which battery charger transferred them and based on that deciding to slower the phone or not :) Another friend (electrical engineering technician) said it is common practice (and brought examples from Laptop manufacturers's world); Is this a known issue ? If yes, is this Google or Samsung's fault ? (Why on earth should they do something _that_ stupid ? But this is rhetorical... ) Note: the "case study" is perfectly reproducible, the only requirement is to have two different battery chargers (with a different ampèrage) and a GNEx, but probably it is done on other phones too.

title: Is there any way to auto-reconnect with a specific PPTP connection on Android?

text: Every time my phone switches between networks (e.g. 4G to Wi-Fi) the established PPTP connection drops.

Network traffic will only be allowed when connected to this VPN." However, the only option listed is "None", even though you can clearly see a PPTP config behind this window. I am attempting to use proXPN service in particular but suspect this problem is generalized to PPTP sessions. For what it's worth the phone is running Android 4.3 and has not been rooted. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

I don't get it why someone wouldn't put something as trivial to that kind of a website? lol thank you


title: Sometimes Market update gets stuck downloading. How can I cancel?

text: Sometimes when I update an app through Market the download gets stuck at 0% or 100% and won't finish download or finish installing. The only way I've found to work around this is to uninstall the app, then reinstall from Market. Is there a better way to fix this situation?


title: “Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies” on reboot randomly, but device still working fine

text: My Galaxy Note 2 N7100 has “Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies” shows up randomly on system reboot, recovery reboot (from reboot menu in Touchwiz based official firmware 4.3, 4.4.2 both stock kernels and custom kernels), but rarely. When it happens I just press volume up and power to do force reset, and it boots normally, never failed. What is the cause of the problem? Is it a sign that flash memory is going to be dead soon, I use flash memory quite intensive, installed ROMs more than 10 times, stored a lot of data in userdata to almost full, cleared up some space, and stored new files.


title: Flashlight on lockscreen on Galaxy S5

text: I am soon going on a field trip and would like to give my friends the ability to use the flash light from the phone without giving them the pattern to unlock the phone. Is that possible to add the flashlight/torch to the locked screen just like the camera? I have a Galaxy S5 with Android 4.4.2


title: Does Android indeed need defragment?

text: I have recently format(not just wiping) userdata partition on Note 2 N7100 and Tab 7.7 P6800. I also restore /data using nandroid and restore internal sdcard by manually copying files. I notice that my devices become much snappier. App installs and opens are much faster. It used to lag a lot when it gets connected to internet, triggering apps to run by Autoruns. After formatting, it just doesn't lag when connected to internet. I noticed that mmcqd0, kworker, system_server now use much less CPU than before formatting. I also do TRIM a lot, and it didn't help the device to become any faster. Both devices were heavily used, stored a lot of files to almost full capacity, cleaned up some space, and stored new files(app and internal sd) again, installed custom ROMs more than 10 times and always install without wiping data/media/, only wiping /data/. So is it possible that files on those device gets fragmented and slow down everything? I'm just curious why a format with restore of everything fix lags on my device very much.


title: Convert Email Account from IMAP to Exchange

text: I recently converted my personal email from IMAP to Exchange, and I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to convert the account.   1. Trying to set up a new account with the same email address fails (obviously).   2. I am unable to change the username on the current account to include the domain part of the exchange login. I do not want to remove the account if I can avoid it, as doing so would lose all of the history and contacts associated with it. I just want to edit the incoming/outgoing server settings and login information.


title: Is it possible to use an Android device as X11 server for a remote machine over SSH?

text: When my desktop computer is up, I can connect to it with my notebook, even over the internet (I've set up my router to forward SSH to my desktop computer). My desktop computer runs GNU/Linux (Ubuntu distro), so I can use it with X terminal. My notebook also runs Ubuntu. I just need `ssh -X desktop.ip.addr`, then I can launch any program on my desktop machine. So, the question is: what's the way of **using Android as X-terminal over SSH**? I don't want to use VNC or other stuff. I think there must be some good SSH apps for Android (I've read about ConnectBot), but I haven't find anything about X11 (maybe it's my fault).


title: Make notifications/messages fill the screen

text: Is there a way to have it so notifications/messages fill the screen, so I can't help but notice them when I pick my phone up? Using an LG-Ally


title: Tasker: Notify before executing task

text: I'm making a task to hot boot every 3 hours. Currently, I have a profile set to this: Trigger: Every 3 hour \+ Display off Task: Hot Boot (I'm using 3rd-party plugin) How do I create a profile if I want to be notified by Tasker whether to run the task or not if I'm using the phone (e.g. screen display is on)? Thanks in advance.


title: Can anyone identify the widgets or software used in this?

text: I see this image and i would like to configure my Android phone to look like this too :) But I have trouble finding the software or widgets used. Can someone help me to find/identify them? http://www.flickr.com/photos/39965241@N03/3707753843/


title: Add more functions to the home button circle shortcut

text: When you swipe up from the home button in Jelly Bean you get a cute semicircle with a Google Now shortcut on top. This circle shape makes it perfect for adding other shortcuts. For instance, you could have the Gmail icon on the left side of the circle and the Chrome icon on the right side. Is there any way to get this functionality (different launcher, some rooted app, different ROM)?
