title: Recovery kernel difference

text: I have the understanding that recovery kernel is different from the main Android kernel (the one which boots normally). And usually that is stored on a different partition on underlying storage ("recovery" partition). I have observed that kernel version number which is obtained after booting to main android system is different from the one when we boot to recovery. I am aware of these three recovery environment - stock, CWM and TWRP. Does each of these has its own kernel? Or kernel is same, and only the user interface(and features provided by the UI) is different?


title: Is there a in-built setting to login to public hotspots?

text: I have a SIM-lock free Galaxy W with Android 2.3.6 on it. The other day in the public library I found out that I was not able to login anyhow to the public Wi-Fi. It shows that the DHCP gives the phone an IP address and then labels it as connected, but on the PC a "further data needed" kind of notification would appear in order for me to put username and password in. Now I found the "Free Wi-Fi hotspot" that deals exactly with this and am going to test it today, but it looks just like a frontend. Really there is not a way to access them using only built-in options on Android? EDIT: Trying opening my browser after connecting doesn't automatically redirect me anywhere. That's why I avoided using the term "captive portal" as I cannot see any portal.


title: Disallow JavaScript Setting

text: I know I could disable JavaScript in most Browsers. Is one able to disable it for WebViews also? I mean every App could specify its own WebView and is able to turn JavaScript on/off inside their app and they could inject JavaScript that infects my phone somehow. I'm aware that this WebView may lose its function or behave in an unexpected way. If it matters I have a Galaxy Nexus with JellyBean.


title: If I put mkfs.ext3 file from another Linux system on my android ,will it work?

text: I want to know if I take the `mkfs.ext3` file, or any other mkfs file, from another Linux system like Ubuntu, and put it with my `mkfs.vfat` and `mkfs.ext2` located at `/system/xbin`, Would it work? And how can I call them from terminal emulator? If relevant, I have a Huawei u8160 running Cyanogenmod 7.2. * * * **EDIT:** I realized that it cannot be taken from Ubuntu or any non-ARMv6 built system ,so my question now is: Where can I find binaries that are built for ARMv6 phone? (at least mkfs ones(except mkfs.vfat and mkfs.ext2,I already have them) ).

title: Netbook with Android 4.1 freezes on load screen

text: I'm using a brand new Craig 10-inch netbook. It came with Android 4.1 jelly bean by default. I've made no changes at all but on boot, the initial splash screen appears, the jelly beans seem to appear inside of the Andrew character, but then it just freezes. No mouse icon, no menus, nothing. I've tried:   1. long-press of the power button (both on to off and off to on).   2. Holding F2 and/or F8 during power on or power off or just the load phase.   3. Pushing the factory reset button on the bottom of the device. None of these have any effect, unfortunately. I've also noticed some posts saying to hold the volume buttons during boot to get safe mode. This seems only for phones as this netbook has no volume buttons at all. Are there any known remedies for this load screen freezing? I cannot access any menus or options that require the computer to actually be booted. How can I access safe mode or some other boot mode to try to restore?

title: Droid 2/R2-D2 Can't Load Beyond Bootloader

text: I picked up a `DROID R2-D2` from a coworker who has given up on the device. Knowing I like to tinker with these things, she offered me the phone in whatever condition I can muster from it. A few weeks ago, she dropped it into some water and from that point on, the android OS will no longer boot. The bootloader screen comes up when powered on (without forcing this mode using the hardware volume buttons), but that's as far as it goes. I don't believe this is a boot-loop, as the phone does not automatically reset itself, but I'm somewhat new to the terminology. I don't believe this question is quite a duplicate of this one, as the screens I am able to access are different. I also have a `DROID X` (similar question for this model), but for those unfamiliar, the bootloader presented using the volume-button-on-boot method does not produce the same screen. on the `X`, there are actual options, such as loading fastboot, etc. With the `2/R2-D2`, there are no options, just "OK to program". I am not sure if the bootloader is unlocked or not. The working D2 is in stock condition, and the bootloader menu is minimal as compared to that of the X, and the non-working bootloader is identical. If the stock condition is locked, then I assume that this is the case. I can force recovery mode (holding the keyboard 'x' while booting), but the options there do not help. From the bootloader screen, this is what I see: > _Always this header_ :               Bootloader     D2.37      > _if battery is charged_ :               Battery OK     OK to Program      > _if battery is depleted_ (I think, the batt's full at the moment and my > memory may be off):               Battery low     Unable to program      > _if no USB connected_ :               Connect USB     Data Cable      > _if USB connected (to PC or straight power)_ :               Transfer Mode:     USB      From the recovery screen (after loading the `!` image and getting to the actual menu by pressing both the volume up and down buttons at the same time), this is what I see:               Android system recovery <3e>          Android system recovery utility          reboot system now     apply update from sdcard     wipe data/factory reset     wipe cache partition      Of the above options, I have tried all, but I know the sdcard option was done incorrectly, as I am not sure which files are required for this update. The other options, which 'worked' resulted in no change in the boot behavior. The phone is detected by my Windows 7 machine. i.e. When I plug the device into the PC, Windows detects the hardware and recognizes the R2-D2 as being the same (no new drivers required) as the Droid 2, and I can see it in my list of devices in My Computer. However, I can't run any debug functions on it. i.e. The D2 (essentially the same phone, same hardware, drivers, etc.) that I regularly connect to my PC to test my own programmed apps, and ADB works flawlessly. Any attempt to debug the device results in the device not being found by adb. While in either the bootloader or in Recovery Mode, the R2-D2 cannot be detected by `adb devices`. If I plug in the functional D2, adb immediately is able to display the device ID. Also tried to see if `fastboot` would detect the device, but it did neither at the bootloader, nor in recovery mode. I downloaded a series of `.sbf` files from various sources (this being the only one I can find at the moment), and reflashed using RSDLite. I am new to this and so I used numerous walkthroughs from the web to get me this far. I am somewhat confident that I've learned how to flash properly, since some of the attempts failed and caused the bootloader to fail, but a few of them at least got me back to the same 'working' condition the phone was in when I picked it up. At this point, I don't care if the phone is rooted or not; I don't care if I have a custom or stock ROM loaded; I don't care if the OS is buggy once running. I would just like to be able to get the phone to boot at all. The original owner has since picked up a replacement from Verizon, so worst-case scenario (the phone is a brick) is not the end of the world. Especially given the fact that I have a nearly identical phone to work with, is there some way I can rip the `.img`s from the working model and load it onto the broken one? Is there a step in the `.sbf` reload that I could be doing incorrectly? Are there any other tips or sources to help me get this phone up and running again?

I have been able to invoke usb otg power delivery in my host device (galaxy s3) to an peripheral through a makeshift unpowered hub. The peripheral was able to draw 100mA of current. I know it is possible to draw higher current, over 400mA if negotiation and enumeration between the host and slave devices are done correctly. Can someone point me in the right direction as to how exactly i can accomplish this goal? i have been told that this is a device driver issue. is that correct? Can it be done with the hub between the devices? Thanks-any help is much appreciated! bck


title: Where is the 'sleep' low power option in cyanogenmod 10.1?

text: I used to have the Android that came installed on my Verizon Motorola Razr Maxx. When I wanted the phone to be doing nothing (in a movie theater, or at night) I would hold the power button, and then select "Sleep" from the options, which also included "Power Off", "Airplane Mode", and icons to select ringing or vibrating. Now, I've installed Cyanogenmod 10.1, and when I hold that button I get similar options but no "Sleep" option. There are "Profiles", but none of them seem to be as low power as sleep was. Is there no sleep function, or is it hiding somewhere? If there is none, maybe I can replace it with a profile that turns on "airplane mode", which seems like the only way to turn off the cellular antenna?

title: Is there a way to turn off translation in Google Play

text: I have HTC Desire with Norwegian language set up. In Google play, all program descriptions are translated to Norwegian. I find this quite annoying because most of the translations are bad, and looks quite silly in Norwegian. Sometimes I need to imagine what it would be in English to understand what it say! Is it possible to force the Google Play app to display all texts in original language? **EDIT:**   I have realized that the issue is different for different apps. Examples:   1. AppLock by **DoMobile Lab**. This one is the description shown as badly translated to Norwegian in Google Play on my phone. When I go to Google Play in a browser on my PC, it shows description in English (My PC has English system language, and I have set up Google settings to use English).   2. MindFeud by **MonkeyBin Studios**. This is shown with English description in Google Play on my phone, but it has a button next to the description header you can click on to translate (which is a function in Google Play, probably using Google Translate). This is exactly how I want it to be.   3. TvGuiden by **MeeTV AS**. This is a Norwegian app, and of course has good Norwegian description in Google Play on my phone. This is also fine with me, since it is a proper translation. When I go to Google Play in a browser on my PC, it shows description in English, which is evidence that it provides description both in English and Norwegian. In this case it's most likely written in Norwegian and additionally translated to English.  In example 1, I suspect the app vendor have translated using automatic tool and reports to Google Play having a translation for that language. In example 2, the app vendor does not claim to have a translation to Norwegian, so in this case, it is shown in Google Play in English, with a button that the user can **_choose_** to get it translated. Example 3 has a truly proper Norwegian translation done by humans, so the app vendor reports correctly to have a translation for Norwegian. It would be interesting to get experience from others on this app if it will be shown in English for users that has phone language set to other than Norwegian (example Hungarian). Is this the result of some app vendors (ref. example 1) misunderstand how the translation system in Google Play is supposed to work?

title: Android 4.4 OTA system update hangs on Nexus 7 (2013)

text: I got a Nexus 7 (2013) with Android 4.3. Some time ago the system reported that system update to 4.4 is available, but I did not install it because I use the device for developement and wanted to finish development cycle under 4.3. All this time notification bar was displaying an icon for the update. As far as I can remember the message was that the update is downloaded and ready to install. Today I noticed that the icon disappeared. I opened system settings and then `About tablet` -> `System updates`. On the screen there is the message:               Android 4.4.2     System Update     Downloading 253.2MB     Via Wi-Fi only until Dec 14      The problem is that the progress indicator is frozen at something about 10%. The questions are:   * Does someone know if the 4.4.2 is a cumulative update including initial 4.4 release, and if it's not - how can I "tell" the system to install 4.4 first?   * How can I nudge the downloading and installation process? I already switched the device off and on, and this did not help. I'd prefer to make the update via Wi-Fi.

I tried this answer without success (broken link to PDA zip, the one I googled is obviously incorrect). Looking into this issue more, this answer also yields broken links. ( _Seems a common issue for fast-paced firmware releases. . ._ ) I cannot seem to find a firmware for GT-S5830, which I could update via Odin. I can still power on into recovery mode, so installing from sd card is also possible, but I'm lost for what to install if the CMod did not work. _Edit: I had the phone reset by the store staff. I am a bit jaded that I could not install a nicer release on it, but hope to get this right next time!_

title: Is there a way to adjust the size of the text when reading PDF files?

text: When I use Aldiko to a book in _epub_ format on a mobile device with a small screen, I can read it without problems. The text is adjustable to the size, the application has no issues. The opposite is true when I'm reading _pdf_ file. It's always a fight. The text is small and unadjustable and the application freezes. Is there a way to adjust the size of the text in my PDF files so that they are more easily readable? I don't intend to read scanned pdfs (this would be even bigger fight). I would like to be able to adjust text size, do scaling and not have the application freeze. I'm open to trying other readers if Aldiko cannot handle this. EDIT: The title was changed, but note that it's not only the change in the size of text. The text should be flexible to various sizes of devices. This is called floating text (or layout) in HTML terminology. A lot of PDF readers can change the text size without the text fitting the device screen.


title: How do I make OpenVPN Connect honour the keepalive setting?

text: I've got an OpenVPN server and a Android OpenVPN client (OpenVPN Connect). In the server config I've configured it to use a less often than standard keepalive ping. By default, it's a ping every 10 seconds, but I want to save battery by increasing this to 600. In the `server.conf` I've put a line `keepalive 600 1800` to do this. I'm expecting the server to push these settings to the client and that the client honours these settings. However, on the client I see disconnects already after 40 seconds after connecting due to inactivity! Here's what I see in detail:   * The OpenVPN pushes the `ping 600` and `ping-restart 1800` (as a result of the `keepalive` statement) perfectly fine to the client. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/zKZfd.png)   * Disconnect reason is as quick as 40 seconds after connection on idling, reason: *Session invalidated: KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT*. That does not make sense to me. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/G0pa0.png)     * Server version: 2.1.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (Debian version 2.1.3-2+squeeze1)     * Client version: 1.1.12 build 45 (OpenVPN Connect from Google Play)     * Android version: 4.2.2 (Paranoid Android 3.69) How can I have an increased interval for keepalive pings and have the client not disconnect? _FYI - I've also posted this on OpenVPN support forums:topic._

title: Signature verification failed when flashing custom kernel (Siyah)

text: I am trying to flash a custom kernel (Siyah-s2-v6.0b5-CWM) to my Samsung Galaxy S2. When I go to recovery mode, click apply update from sdcard, and select the file, it shows this:               Finding update package...     Opening update package...     Verifying update package...     E:signature verification failed     install_package = (2)     installation aborted.      Any ideas what to do?


title: Applications restore or install from external sd card

text: I have Samsung Galaxy Duos Trans-S 7562. It had an problem with Wifi, so I sent the phone in for repairs. Before handing the phone over to store, I backed up the applications on the external Sd card. Now applications can not be restored or installed. Only contacts are backed- up. The error message I get is `Applications not downloaded from Google Play store can not be installed.` I used "Super backup-Contact And SMS" application for backing everything up.


title: Built-in storage not detected

text: well I just bought a lenovo s920, at the first time I'm doing a system update and it works fine, then I'm doing another system update S920_ROW_S114_130626_TO_S920_ROW_S117_130815 (79.83MB), I dont know if it's failed or what, after that my built-in storage not detected. I keep getting notification "Damaged Built-in storage" that asking me to format and even I'm doing it, it cant be format. My Storage setting become like this:               INTERNAL STORAGE     Total Space: 3.62GB     Available: 379MB          BUILT-IN STORAGE (no information)      then when I check spaces with app Freespace:               Cache /cache:         Total space->   123.08MB     Internal /data:       total space-> 1,008.29MB     Preload /preload:     total space->   197.01MB     Protect_s /protect_s: total space->     8.89MB     System /system:       total space->   788.39MB                                         2,125.66MB      so there's missing around 1,400MB. I guess this is built-in storage, how can I recover it? and create it again as built-in storage.


title: My contacts are linked to Google+ multiple times

text: I have an issue with my contacts. I am running Android 4.4.2 (CyanogenMod 11) on my HTC Ville. All my contacts are linked with G+ accounts many times. My phone lists the same number, email, address and so on multiple times. It takes a while to scroll down to the bottom. I can't separate or delete these contacts, since they are linked with G+ accounts and I can't edit these with the contacts app. When I view my contacts with Firefox on my PC everything looks normal. Why is this happening and what can I do to fix it? Thanks for your help! I attach 2 screenshots for better understandability. ![Screenshot 1](http://i.stack.imgur.com/vmaBnm.png) ![Screenshot 2](http://i.stack.imgur.com/uJrn5m.png) Click image to view larger version


title: Exchange Services and Android OS/System draining battery

text: I'm using Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2, for about 5 months. I've experiences before some problems with battery, like sudden crashes when using apps intensively using graphics, but today the battery started to be discharged very rapidly, 10% an hour, or even more, without device being used. I've found out, that Android System and Android OS are responsible for that carnage. But after restart and charging the phone I've found out, that Exchange Services has also significant part in it. After browsing internet I've found topis like that: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37437 suggesting, that Android OS/System battery drainage is connected with Exchange Services. But that topic is very old, and people are writing about older version of Android. Can this behavior be connected with the linked issue? If so, why it happened now, and not previously? Can the previous crashes of Android be somehow connected with ExchangeServices behavior? Can I do anything now to prevent at least memory drainage? It renders my phone unusable as mobile device...


title: Is it possible to use another system language than the one defined by country

text: I'd like to use my phone (CM 11, rooted) in English. The only problem I have is that this means that the contacts app doesn't sort names that begins with Å, Ä or Ö in their own separate section, they're shown within the A and O section. I thought that for example setting locale to en_FI with MoreLocale 2 would solve the problem, but it doesn't. For example, Åsa is still shown between Arne and Atte. Google hasn't helped, neither did I find answers here. Is it possible to set the language and locale to different values? sounded right but didn't solve my problem.


title: how to reset the PGW connection

text: My mobile phone on T-Mobile US seems to stay on a given PGW for days on end, having the same external IPv4 address. Very often, their PGWs get stuck after a while, or, they reboot all of them, and I end up on some overcrowded PGW at a secondary location, which then starts having issues often enough. Currently, it seems like it's possible to switch PGWs by going into airplane mode for about 10 minutes. (If I go into airplane mode for just one minute or so, then it seems like my old broken session simply resumes, and I remain connected to the same PGW with the same external IPv4 address.) Is there a way to automate this? I.e. at 05:30 every day or once a week, go into airplane mode, wait some 10 minutes, then go out of it, and ensure that WiFi hotspot hasn't been turned off?


title: Water damaged Nexus S turns on and runs but has unresponsive touchscreen

text: I dropped my Nexus S in water. I dried it out for a few days and the phone turns on to the home screen, and it seems to get the latest notifications although I cannot slide the phone and the touchscreen doesn't work. Is there anything I can do from my computer, while phone is plugged in to get the touchscreen working again?


title: Galaxy S3 randomly booted into safe mode. Strange behavior

text: I was using my phone (Galaxy S3 SGH-T999), not doing anything intensive, just web browsing on Chrome, then all of a sudden my phone restarts into Safe Mode. I opened the app drawer and noticed most (possibly all, not sure) of my downloaded apps were gone.   My notifications bar was informing me that some apps were being re-downloaded. Not sure of the reason, I just restarted the phone and it booted back up normally. However strange things have been happening, like:   * Apps re-downloading or updating.   * Facebook app authorization failing   * All my contacts were gone. I use SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts. Opening the app asked me to enter my password. My contacts came back.   * My iCloud calendar was gone, again because SmoothSync logged out. Logging back in was no problem. Nothing really bad has happened, but it just seems strange and random to me. Why would Safe mode be activated out of nowhere?


title: How to make Samsung Galaxy SL I9003 play AC3?

text: I have a film in the .AVI format, with an SRT subtitle file, and an AC3 audio track. I used the S/W decoder function. The film can be played with/without the subtitles, and the AC3 file itself can be played. I have tried MX player (not PRO) with the ARMv7 codec and VPlayer with the ARMv7 codec. I have the same problem on my Nook Color. If I stop the film and try to select audio, I have the only item which means embedded audio track. **The solution.** I ended up preferring films in the .MKV format and using mkvmerge for merging audio tracks and subtitles into a video file.


title: I rooted my phone. Now apps cannot connect to the internet but browsers work fine

text: I have a Samsung Galaxy Y and rooted it a few days ago. After that I set up a few apps and granted them access to root permissions (via the Superuser app). I allowed root to all apps that requested it. Now I cannot connect to the internet via any app except browser apps - Gmail cannot receive emails, and Google Play is not loading. I tried a factory reset and unrooted the phone, but it is still not working. How can I fix this issue?


title: Android: An app failed to download/install - what do I do?

text: Sometimes I download an app but it fails to download or install. The message just says that, no further details. It generally seems that the app never installs after that. Is there anyway I can find out more details about why it failed? Is there any good way to get stuff to install after this has happened. I am using Android 1.5 on a T-Mobile Pulse/Huawei U8220


title: Data Wipe/factory reset on CWM 6.0.4.7

text: first time flashing a device. I have CWM 6.0.4.7 flashed and a question about the wipe data/factory reset. I only have the internal storage at the moment and I have the CM11 and Gapps zip folders in /sdcard so I saw the wipe data will only clear the /data partition. Is that correct, meaning those zip folders won't be deleted in /sdcard and I can just flash the Rom immediately after?

title: "Unfortunately, Email has stopped" on Samsung phone when adding SPAM to filter

text: I have been tracking this issue for a while and noone seems to have a good solution. examples: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ask-question/409389-unfortunately- email-has-stopped.html http://forums.androidcentral.com/ask- question/401360-email-spam-limit.html The error is: "Unfortunately, Email has stopped" The cause seems to be that Samsung's default/stock email app has a 200 item limit for it's SPAM filter. This error affects Galaxy Note 2 and Note 3, and Galaxy S4 (probably more)   * I am looking for a way to make this limit bigger.


title: Difference between Android version in regions

text: I installed stock ROM for Android 4.4.2 for Colombia region this April. Today while I was surfing the web, I found out that my Android version is slightly different from the one that I saw on web (both devices were the same). How is this possible? Do the features of updates depends on region?


title: Connecting files with calendar events

text: I'm using Google calendar for all kinds of events. For some events I necessarily create files which can be anything from notes to presentations and so on. Now the question is whether I can connect these files with their respective events? Usually I have to check my calendar and whatever app I use for notes etc. But sometimes I find it hard to remember if I have already created notes for a particular event because they are not connected. I assume that Google's calendar app doesn't support my idea but maybe you know a better solution or a different app that will do for me. Thank you.

title: Everything gets saved to the phone instead of SD card

text: I'm using the Samsung Galaxy Gio, and my problem is that all my apps get saved to the phone, using up all the storage. I've got space left on my SD card but it doesn't want to install anything there. I found a function that lets you move apps to SD card but sadly it doesn't work with 99% of the apps installed. How do I solve this problem?


title: Internal Storage doesn't get mounted

text: I'm using PA3+ JB 4.1.2 on my HTC Vivid. Everything was working fine until Gmail app gets an update. After update, phone went into a bootloop. To recover, I went into TWRP and restored factory default, cleared cache and dalvik cache et cetra. Bootloop issue resolved but now when I'm trying to open Gallery/Camera app, it's giving me `No external Storage Available` error. In setting, when I try to mount internal SD card; nothing happens. I tried to mount card from TWRP but still, nothing is happening. Should I flash ROM completely? Or is there any workaround to resolve this issue? **EDIT** I'm getting `Unable to mount /emmc (Invalid Argument)` error quite often in TWRP.


title: Use tablet as a Wi-Fi handsfree device?

text: My question is: Is there any way to use Tablet as a hands free adapter by Wi- Fi? With Access point created in the Tablet? "No internet" Device-To-Device lan connection. For Example: call (smartphone) ---> Internal Forward ---> Skype (smartphone) ---> Wi-Fi (Forward) ---> Skype (tablet) And the other way around: Skype make call (tablet) ---> Wi-Fi (Forward) ---> Skype (smartphone) ---> Internal Forward ---> Phone call (smartphone). Offline point-to-point VoIP call over Wi-Fi is possible: How can I make a point-to-point VoIP call over Wifi? And receiving a call and transfer in the same phone to voip system... Is this possible?


title: Use Nook Tablet in the UK

text: I will be visiting the U.S. this month and I was thinking about buying the Nook Tablet from Barnes and Noble whilst over there as I am looking for a Tablet to primarily read books on but also browser the web and watch videos. Two questions Will the Tablet work in the UK when I get back? By "work" I mean will I be able to browse the web, watch videos on the device and read books that are already on the device? Can you put your own books on there? I have a number of books already in mobi format, happy to convert them if necessary. Thanks


title: Flash support for Jellybean (4.1)

text: Adobe has released statements saying they will no longer support flash for newer Android builds starting with 4.1. I flashed a custom rom of 4.1 the other day and couldn't find any 3rd party flash support in the market. I use flash for Orb to stream tv. Orb has an Android app but it unusable and all around horrible experience (verified by the the many negative reviews) but you could use the website to stream flash as a work around to the poor app which worked great. **My question is: how can I play flash video in Android Jellybean (4.1)**


title: What's a secure way to message/talk to someone in CM9?

text: I'm using CM9 nightly (20120712 i.e. today). I need to talk securely, without the chance of eavesdropping, to someone who also has CM9 nightly (not sure how up-to-date but not more than 1 month old). What apps/webapps can I use to do this? Ideally I would like to be able to talk but messaging/email would be fine. Are apps like Twitter/Gmail/Gtalk secure end-to-end? I do have HTTPS set up on my account but don't know how far it applies to the mobile version. But really I am willing to use anything as long as it known to be secure enough to prevent MITM attacks and eavesdropping by unwanted parties.


title: Handling headset buttons before Voice Search on Jelly Bean

text: Android Jelly Bean introduced a voice search which activates with a long-press on the play/pause button of a headset. As my app requires being able to utilise these long-presses, I was wondering if there is any way to either disable the voice search or make Android play fair with the button events.

title: Debugging Galaxy S2 Bluetooth problem: Bluetooth disconnects, Bluetooth status never fully turns on, Only reboot resolves this

text: I know many have problems with Bluetooth and certain car kits. I specifically have a VW. In any case, my Galaxy disconnects from not only my car, but also from my Philips in home audio system. In both cases, the disconnect is the same. What happens in both cases is the Bluetooth pair is lost. If I try to turn off and then on the Bluetooth (on the phone) to reset the pair the Bluetooth light never fully turns on. It stays a dim green. To get it to work I have to restart the phone. I wrote a script to collect the Bluetooth logs, and programmed it to start logging whenever Buetooth is connected. See link below for the3 log. notice that around 7:56 the probem occurred. I was in a call on my galaxy s2 connected to my vw tiguan, and the hands free audio stopped. I was able to pick up the phone and switch from hands free to the speaker (on the phone) to resume the call. Around 8:19, I think, I turned off the Bluetooth on the phone, and then tried to to turn on it again. But,it did not fully turn on. The green Bluetooth light is dim rather then bright. The only way I can restart the Bluetooth is to reboot the phone. There are exceptions thrown that I am going to look at. Have any thoughts? Thanks! I am running the stock rom that I downloaded from Kies. The Android version is 4.1.2 Logs: 1\. S2 paired with VW Tiguan (7:56, 8:19 approx)   https://www.dropbox.com/s/hd809geb4hoxvrr/btlog.txt      2\.

title: HTC one X keeps restarting on Connecting to the Wifi

text: Hi I am using Htc One X - Android version 4.1.1 from atnt. However in the last few days my phone keeps rebooting as soon as I try and connect to the wifi. If at all it does connect I have to kill all my applications asap to make sure it works fine. On opening any app like whatsapp or facebook it will show unforunately "the app name" has stopped working and it will again reboot. Similarly while trying to uninstalling Facebook/Twitter it will do the same thing while if I uninstall any other apps like any launcher/ yelp etc it uninstalls perfectly. Please advise what is wrong ?


title: How to open youtube links on my facebook messenger app, in the youtube app?

text: I am **unable to play YouTube videos from the links I get on my Facebook Messenger app**. Here's what happens:   1. A friend of mine posts a video link to me (YouTube link) as a message on Facebook.   2. I receive it on my Android mobile in the Facebook messenger app.   3. I click on it and it shows a Dialogue-Box (you can call that a pop-up) which asks me to choose an app to open the video with.  Now earlier, there used to be the **video player apps in my mobile along with the internet browsers** installed on my mobile that used to come up there. So I would select an internet browser, and it in turn would re-direct me to the "YouTube" app itself. However, **now, I am only getting video-players** in that Dialogue Box **as an option to open the YouTube video** , but of course, if I select them, they are not able to stream the video. Has anyone found a way around this problem? It is really bothersome.


title: Why does my Galaxy S3 make a noise when I put it down?

When it happens I can immediately pick it up and put it down again to make it happen again. I can repeat this for as long as I like. Pick up, put down, BONG/CLANK, repeat. There are no on-screen messages, just the noise. Why is it doing this? Can it be stopped? Thanks


title: Swype Beta v1.3.1.9274

text: I was just prompted to update my Swype Beta to version v1.3.1.9274 which I did. During the process, I was reassured that I won't be losing any of my data. However, upon completion of the installation, I see that I've lost my personal dictionary. Another oddity: in older versions of swype, when you typed a non-English word, you were prompted to add it to your swype dictionary. Then, they changed this, such that all new words were automatically added to your dictionary. With this new v1.3.1.9274 version, however, swype seems to have gone back to the "add to dictionary" prompt. Any clue as to what may be going on? I'm using JB on my Galaxy Nexus.

Navigating to the _about phone_ section               Menu - > Settings - > About Phone -> Status      I saw two IMEI numbers. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/fZEkR.png) I used the top one (IMEI) as the code to complete the unlock process however when I tried to unlock the device it rejected the code.   * Should I have used the IMEI SV?    * I have Android 2.3.4 but this device is normally equipped with 2.2, could that be the problem?


title: My WiFi status icon on 4.1 is grey, even when the connection is working fine. Why?

text: I just switched from AOKP to the latest CyanogenMod M-build, and I'm noticing that my WiFi and 3G/H+ icons never switch to blue. This is a bit annoying as usually the grey WiFi icon is an indication that the WiFi I'm connected to isn't actually letting me out onto the Internet, but now they seem to stay grey all the time. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this issue? Is it a known bug? What does the grey icon really mean? I've tried looking around the sync settings as there are some indications this might have something to do with the device not being able to contact the Google servers to sync, but sync is working fine and I'm having no real problems except the fact that it's annoying that the icon is indicating what I've previously interpreted as a problem. **edit** It seems that there is an actual problem aside from the cosmetic one: in Google Talk I am completely offline, I get my contact list but it's greyed out. I also don't get notifications from the Gmail app when new mail arrives. **edit2** This was solved by simply removing CM10 and going back to AOKP. I did a full wipe before every install, either this is a bug in CM10 or it's an issue caused by my Titanium backups. Not sure, but the backups worked fine with AOKP.

title: Samsung Galaxy S2 upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich now Bluetooth headphones won't pair

text: I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which has just received the upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich (I'm on T Mobile in the UK if that matters). I have a set of bluetooth headphones. They worked fine before the upgrade, they would be detected by the phone and would pair with it without my having to enter a PIN code. Since the upgrade to ICS, they no longer work. When I turn on Bluetooth, the phone detects the headphones but won't pair with them. When I try to pair them I get an error message that there is an incorrect PIN entered or an unknown PIN. I know what the PIN is (0000). The problem is, the phone doesn't give me an option anywhere I can see to actually input this to allow the phone to pair with the headphones. Samsung have advised me to do a factory reset of the phone, which I've done, but the problem remains. ICS is still on the phone and I still have the above problem. Can anyone help?

It says `Your phone doesn't have sdcard inserted` also when I try to open the inbuilt camera its also not working with a message as `Turn off USB storage before using camera`. I tried to check that my SDCard is not corrupted so testing in other devices and its working fine. I also tried to restart the device couple of times. So, can anyone suggest me what can be the problem here? why my SDCard and Internal Storage is not being detected?


title: Local Address Book

text: Disclaimer: I'm new with Android. I have a 2.3.6 device. So I'm on my phone, I hit the little address book button. I can see I have "contacts" Three of them. Yay. One has a little phone icon. Two have little 'g' icons. My "history" has heaps of contacts. When I click on an entry in my history which is obviously on Gmail, there's no option to add them to a contact. They're not in my contact list, but they show up when I try to add a contact, so I can't add them. When I click on an entry in my history which is obviously not on Gmail, I have an option to add them as a contact.... and my contact list suddenly has hundreds and hundreds of entries. They're all people I've emailed at one point or another, but lots of them are useless ungroomed contact entries... they're probably out of date. Why does this not make sense to me? Meanwhile, I have a giant address book in Thunderbird with hundreds of entries, and an old Nokia phone with hundreds of entries. Ideally, I'd like to reconcile all of those into a single address book, and ideally, not on Google's servers. I don't care about the hundreds of outdated contacts in Google. I'd be happier if my phone didn't know they existed. Is this even possible on Android? Is there a good local calendar app where I can use my existing contact list?

Also if the 11 pin connecter can power the device, then why do we need to again connect power cable to the mhl adapter provided by samsung?

title: how to fix grey wifi icon (no internet), and how to track what caused that?

text: [SUSPENDED. see P.S. at end, any good way to deal with this suspended state?] My phone have the grey wifi-icon problem, where you do not have access to internet.   Yesterday it was working fine, I changed nothing.   Usually it always connected grey and a few moments later it gets colored, but now it is forever grey... I followed these tips from other questions that did not work:   * turn wifi-off/on   * turn air-plane mode on, wait 1min, turn it off (and wifi on)   * forget/remove the wifi config and recreate it   * reboot the phone   * reboot wireless router   * shutdown the phone   * (NO) I got a tip to lower my router security from TKIP+AES to only TKIP, but it was working perfectly yesterday; so I will not do that for obvious reasons..  I can ping my phone from my PC.   I can JuiceSSH from my android into PC (intranet is ok).   I can do nothing internet related... My phone is not rooted, should I?   My connection drops from time to time when I see "obtaining ip address" if I leave it on the wifi config page, but it was like that already before the grey icon problem.. Where I can see wifi log to try to understand what is happening? PS.: my phone is working again, I did nothing either to fix it; my PC was connecting to internet while my phone not... now both are ok; I will keep the question as the problem may happen again and I wasnt able to track what caused and how to fix (if ever possible); just that it is not urgent for now... thx!


title: galaxy s4 jellybean - disable swipe lock screen

text: Every since my Galaxy S4 phone was upgraded to Android 4.3 (Verizon), I have had a problem disabling the swipe lock screen. I go to Settings -> My Device -> Lock Screen -> Screen Lock:   * If I set the option to 'Swipe', I get the swipe lock screen, as expected.   * If I set the option to 'None', I STILL get the swipe lock screen.   * If I set the option to 'PIN', I get the swipe lock screen AND the pin lock screen. (It is very very annoying to unlock the phone, and double annoying when I receive a call.) I test this by using the power key. Is there a bug in the software or is there no legitimate way to disable the very annoying swipe lock / swipe lock screen? Is there a 3rd party way to allow a pin lock without having a swipe lock as well?

title: How to prevent buttons from activating screen

text: When I take my Android phone from my trousers pocket the screen is often activated since any press to the search, home, back or menu button activates the screen. Of course, this is a major battery drain. Even worse - sometimes the phone takes or rejects an incoming call while being in my pocket without me noticing. 8-( So: is there any way to prevent these buttons from activating the screen? Only the power on button should wake it up, since it is much better hidden and cannot be accidentially pressed in the pocket. In case that matters: my phone is a LG-P500 with Android version 2.2.2


title: Does Android use a VPN in background when connecting to Exchange?

text: i use Android 2.3.6 stock. I am new to Android. At work we have a MS Small Business server, it has Exchange for e-mail. With my laptop (Thunderbird), i can only connect to IMAP if i have a VPN connection to work. But my android phone _can_ get my email without a VPN connection. But that is not allowed in our firewall! How can it be? Now the VPN has the same credentials as the email itself. This is probably the way it always works on MS small business server. I am guessing that Android is so smart that it tries to make VPN connection with the given email credentials when the connection fails initially. Is that so?

title: Is it possible to add an audio bluetooth profile to my phone?

text: I want to make my phone act as a bluetooth speaker/headset because the audio jacks connection on my laptop is kinda broken (won't play audio on both ears unless the headset plug is midway inserted). Add to that the fact that the audio coming out of my laptop's speakers aren't too loud. My phone, however, fills in that gap by having quite good and loud audio and the headset jack on my phone isn't messed up like the one my laptop. So upon thinking of ways to do this, I realized that I could add a bluetooth profile to my phone so that the laptop will be able to detect it as a bluetooth headset. However, I couldn't find any info about doing this. I'm using an SE ST17i and I'm rooted so rooted solutions are applicable. I hope someone can help me out. P.S. I know of the AirFoil approach but would rather prefer my above approach if possible because I don't like keeping my wifi on all the time.

title: Any fix for audio stuttering (incoming and outgoing) when making Skype calls?

text: I have an HTC hero with Android 2.1, and the latest Skype available in android marketplace (december 2010) stutters badly on wifi. (I did not even try to make a skype call over 3g data, i think that would be silly, and in my market where data charges are exorbitant, a waste of money.) I believe it's a performance problem with my phone. I have tried to uninstall some other apps, and not very much seems to be open and running on my phone (just skype, the phone main UI panel). Audio coming to my headphones stutters terribly and is full of clicks. The audio going out is reported to be bad when I tested it with human callers, but when I used the echo123 skype service, my audio came back to me mostly perfectly. It looks like Skype's website lists the following as compatible android handsets: "Android devices: DROID by Motorola, DROID ERIS by HTC, Motorola DEVOUR™, HTC Droid Incredible, LG Ally, Samsung Fascinate™, Motorola Droid X, Motorola Droid 2, Samsung CONTINUUM, Motorola Ciena, Motorola Droid 2 Global."

title: WiFi Direct Doesn't Work

text: I have two Android devices running Android 4.1.1 with the latest OTA update from the manufacturer. I do not have root or any other system-level customizations on either device, just a bunch of very standard apps. Device 1: Google Nexus 7 Device 2: Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD The _only_ way I have found to send a file between these two devices, without the involvement of a third device (router, computer, SD card, ...) is using the Bluetooth file beaming protocol, which is incredibly slow and short-range. I wanted to use WiFi Direct to achieve much greater speed and distance for file transfers, but I can't get WiFi Direct to connect. I followed all the instructions and read all the comments here but it just doesn't work. On this screen, I can see the other Android device advertising WiFi Direct: ![wifi-direct](http://i.stack.imgur.com/nyY9s.png) What I **can't** seem to do is to get them to connect to each other. I see the request go to the other device, and receive the request pop-up asking me to confirm the connection. I click Accept, and then after a few seconds, the UI on both devices "resets" to the first screen (the screenshot above) with no indication that a connection was successful. Side-note: NFC doesn't work either and exhibits similar symptoms of the devices "just not being compatible". It's 2013 and I can hold two flagship Android devices right next to eachother and have _no_ way to send files between them any faster than about 100 KB/s bluetooth beaming.

title: Why is the SD card mounted as read-only on PC when shared from HTC Desire HD via USB?

text: I just discovered that the SD card is now read-only when I use "disk drive" connection on the phone. Why do I have to do in order to be able to write on the SD card from the PC? I mention that the phone is rooted and is using the latest version of 2.3 available for HTC Desire HD (original rom).


title: Why SIM toolkit does not work with most custom ROM-s?

text: Most custom ROM-s have problems with Stk.apk (the SIM toolkit part of Android) not functioning properly. The question is not the missing application (running Oxygen, I have the app but it is not working), but something systematic (dependency on RIL?) I'd like to know why so, and what can be made about it?


title: Not receiving whatsapp messages unless I open the app when on 3G - on wifi there is no delay

text: I have recently bought a _Samsung Galaxy S4,_ Android version 4.4.2, and for some reason I only receive my _Whatsapp_ messages when I open the app. This only happens when I am on 3G. When connected to a WiFi network, there is no delay at all. I have uninstalled and re-installed, I have checked the restricted data setting (it is not ticked) and I am now officially loosing my mind. What did I miss?


title: What is the safest way to perform backups of my partitions?

text: The partitions on my phone are visible on /dev/mts/mtsX, and I'd like to copy the contents of those files onto my sd card for safe keeping. Is it safe to just say:               cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/mtd0      Because I'm not so sure if it's safe to use cat on binary files. Maybe there is a port of dd?


title: Caller ID doesn't match similar numbers except when there is a perfect match

text: > **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Contacts with and without international extensions Is there any way to make the caller IDs work like in older non-Android phones? For example, the following numbers are similar / the same:               +541122223333     +549112223333     01122223333     1522223333      In older phones, the phone detects the caller and makes a match in the agenda. Why is this not working in Android? Thanks.


title: ConnectBot and Byobu

text: I use ConnectBot sometimes to connect to my ubuntu machine, and that works fine, however it just comes up with a standard shell, not my byobu screens that I get when I connect to it using another machine running ssh, such as my windows machine running PuTTy. This is what I see when I connect using ConnectBot (yes, I use the dvorak keyboard layout): ![phone ConnectBot screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Y9OtEm.png)   phone ConnectBot screenshot (click for larger variant) And this is what I see when I connect using PuTTy: ![PuTTy screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/gh310m.png)   PuTTy screenshot (click for larger variant) Is there any way that I can see my byobu screens from ConnectBot?


title: Any New (not low end) phones using Froyo (or Froyo-style software system)?

text: Considering the bugs I've heard about the newer Androids (battery life, GPS and distance etc), and the fact that Froyo/gingerbread have better menu systems (larger, with text, not a toolbar), as well as more hardware buttons, 8 recent apps shown in the hold-home listing instead of 2 or 3... I was wondering if there are any modern phones with 2.2 or 2.3-based ROMs? The problem is, with this old of a phone (or new one, they still sell 2.2/2.3 phones in stores) you shouldn't use the default browser, it has many known security vulnerabilities. Considering the open source nature of it, I would be surprised to hear there is not a Froyo-skin or a version of Froyo with updated API.

title: Unable to install wordweb dictionary

text: Initially I was having wordweb dictionary installed in my android phone(4.2.2) , but suddenly it disappeared. Then I tried to reinstall it from the .apk file which I was having, but it is showing "Application not installed." Also when I tried to download a fresh copy of the software from Android Play Store, again it is showing "Unknown error code during application installation - 24". Although, all other applications are running and downloading perfectly fine, but this particular application is not installing. Kindly someone help me.


I did a factory reset and flashed a custom ROM recently. Afterwards I tried to restore some apps I had backed up with ROM toolbox pro. Some of the restores were successful, others not, without a reason. When I tried to reinstall those apps from the Play store I got after downloading: Unknown error during application install "-24" In some cases I managed to overcome this by going to the /data directory and delete everything related to the specific app that couldn't be installed. Afterwards the install from the store worked. But I have a few cases of apps in which there are no related files in /data I can find, and I still get the same error message again and again. Any ideas what is causing this?

title: No Music Showing in Any Music Player

text: My Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 is rooted + 3rd party Jellybean 4.1.2 XXLS6 MIUI rom Music apps tested: DoubleTwist | Songbird | Google Music In all of these apps, the music list shows empty. I have tried:   * Reboot recovery & "fix permissions"   * Launching music files directly from File Explorer (WORKS) I have a feeling it may be partition or mounts or permissions related. That the apps just can't read the file-system or something? Can anyone suggest what other things I can try?


title: Can I repartition the internal storage of my device to make space for apps?

text: I have a T-Mobile Concord and it has little memory (probably standard amount). It is used up by applications that I don't use or don't need. I would like to partition the OS so that I can increase the internal memory so I can download other apps or play games that I have downloaded. Is this possible or am I just S.O.L.?


title: My bluetooth keyboard's skip/back buttons don't fast forward/rewind

text: I recently purchased Satechi's Bluetooth Multimedia Remote Control so I could control my music without looking (i.e. without removing my hands from my pockets and exposing them to winter). Essentially, this pairs as a bluetooth keyboard with media keys, which is why I said "bluetooth keyboard" in title, because I imagine it is functionally the same. Here's my problem: pressing and holding the skip button does not fast forward as expected (likewise for the back button and rewinding). I noticed that the default music app immediately skips when the button is pressed, while the doubleTwist app waits until the button is released to skip; this makes me think that each app decides how to handle the input from the media keys. Any suggestions for a workaround or an app that will respond appropriately to my input? I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII (SAMSUNG-SGH-1747) running ICS (Android version 4.0.4). It is not rooted.


title: How to delete the apps backup created by "Super Backup" app?

text: I recently used "Super Backup" to backup my apps/data before I flashed a new version of CM10.1 on my rooted Nexus 4 device. After I finished flashing the ROM and booted up with the new image, I restored most of my apps and all of my data. My question is: There is provision to delete SMS Backups which are created by this app. There are similar provisions for Contacts Backups, Call Logs Backups, Bookmarks Backups but there is NO PROVISION from within this app to delete the Apps Backup. Is there a better way of deleting the Apps Backups data which is on my local storage than just physically deleting the folders/file using a File Explorer app?
