title: Differences in Geo-Location Accuracy

text: In an application I am building I am using "Fused Location Provider". When the phone is in a WiFi network I am getting an accurate location value (within 14 meters). When the phone is in EDGE Network I am not getting the same accuracy (a value like 1895 meters). What's the problem with EDGE and WiFi networks? Why I am getting the different values in different networks (Wifi, EDGE, GPS)?


title: Configuring VPN on a Samsung devices

text: I'm traveling in Iran and I would like to update my position on a website that uses Google Maps. The problem is that on my both Samsung Android devices I can't see the maps (the web site is not filtered and I can see everything but the map which is the main part of the application). I think that Google Maps is filtered although in some internet cafe I can use maps.google.com but I still can't see the map on my application (and other international web sites that use Google Maps). Is there any way to configure a VPN network on my Android devices (a smartphone and a tablet). I don't know how it works and I can't access almost any tutorial (filtered) . Thanks for any kind of help. Last thing most of the time I use the wifi network in the rare hotel that have one.


title: Boot HTC Desire S into recovery mode without power button

text: Hi Android Enthusiasts, The power button of my HTC Desire S is broken (no response whatsoever), so I have to connect my phone to a usb cable to get it out of stand-by mode. I understood that with a custom rom I can use a volume button for instance to get it out of stand-by mode. However, for flashing the rom onto the HTC Desire S I have to boot it into recovery mode. Which involves pressing the power button...   Any alternative ways to boot the phone into recovery mode?


title: Use Android build in soft hotspot (AP) in "bridge" mode

text: I am looking for a solution in which I can use the built in support for soft hotspot, i.e., sharing the network connection on the Ethernet port (eth0) over the Android setup box Wifi module (wlan0), but instead of using the setup box built in DHCP server, I would like the devices that connect to the soft hotspot, to use the DHCP server available on the LAN network. In other words, instead of the Android setup box acting as a Router, I would like it to work like a switch, i.e., just switch the traffic between the Wifi and Ethernet port. Just like an AP on a public network. Any ideas how this could be done? Got full access and source code.


title: Galaxy Note 1 - Hangs on start up screen

text: This is the most tragedic thing ever happened to any of my electronic devices...   1. My phone was dead (naturally) battery charge was zero as I was outside waiting for a friend.   2. I wanted to charge it for couple of minutes   3. I went to Samsung Centre   4. The staff showed me a charger cable and asked me to charge there. (point A)   5. Phone was charging   6. Not more than 2 minutes, another staff came and asked me to connect to the negibouring laptop, where it had the charger cable connected (point B)   7. I disconnect from point A and connected to point B. Phone was charging and I started the phone. The was started normally yet battery was very low. (within the first 5 minutes) I shut it down.   8. She came back again and asked me to disconnect from the laptop (point B) as she has another customer who needs to use the laptop   9. So I disconnected from point B and connected back to point A. After 5 more minutes, I saw the charging green bar has increased. So I started the phone. Now phone hanged on the start up screen and keep showing "SAMSUNG"............ Then I asked them why has happened, they said sorry let us recover your phone, your phone has a problem. From the day I bought, I didn't have any issues with my phone and had been using it for year. Phone is up to date and well taken care. This whole issue has occured due to the fact that Samsung staff asked me to connect my phone to the laptop which automatically upgrades softwares and while upgrading the softwares she disconnected my phone. They refused to help me by at least giving me back my data. So can someone please help me with proven steps to connect to the kernal and recover my data back? And I have never connected this phone to a kernal. I don't know how possible that is either. I saw this. But I have zero understanding what he is talking about ODIN, DOWNLOAD MODE...However if someone can guide me with the steps, I can manage it.

title: Does CyanogenMod include a kernel?

text: I've installed CyanogenMod 10.1 stable for S III LTE (i9305), and noticed that my kernel version is 3.0.64 (I expected it to be 3.4 or something higher). As I've said in this question, the kernel I had before was also from the 3.0.* line. Which is quite weird - why is my kernel always staying on that version? Could it be that CyanogenMod doesn't come with a kernel, but that the kernel is flashed somewhere else? If not, what's the reason for such a low version number? Is it because my phone isn't all that well-supported? Should I manually flash a new kernel for my phone?


title: Tasker Profile Help

text: I have been playing around with Tasker lately and had a good idea that I would like to implement but I am new to Tasker and so I can only create simple profiles. My idea, for myself, is that my phone remains without some sort of password or pin, until someone places their hand above the proximity sensor on my Galaxy S4. Then, the phone requires a password/pin. Otherwise, it remains without one. How would I go about doing such a thing? I played around with the proximity sensor but I set the context for the proximity sensor as a "State" and I'm not sure how to set something that would implement the proximity sensor. Also, I would like to know if I can set it to lock the phone when someone's hand is within a certain distance.

title: Galaxy S4 Multi-Window tray losing and regaining apps

text: All, I've got a VZW Galaxy S4 that is stock and unrooted. For the most part it works just fine. But on occasion there are a few apps that will keep appearing then disappearing from the MW tray. The biggest ones that I use frequently and have them on the tray are Moon reader and Reddit News Free. Frequently they will show up in the tray, but then vanish without a trace from the tray. If I go to edit the tray they are not there either. The apps are still installed and I can get to them through the app drawer or any other shortcut. Then when one or the other updates via the play store both will be back in the traY. I can't figure this out. Has this happened to anyone else? FWIW this does not happen with my Tab 3 8.0.

title: How to make URL coming in via Bluetooth open in browser?

text: When receiving an URL from Nokia phone, my Galaxy 3 shows the URL as text file and I need to first open it via Opera browser, then manually select the whole URL and only then I can open it all (for some reason Opera lacks "Select All"...). So, what do I need to install to make this go like it goes on Nokia phones, ie. receive URL, tap to open in browser, done? Opera is not the default handler, but because Android handles incoming link like any text file on file system, the default browser is not offered at all. Picking the other option works even less.

title: Transferring Phone Ownership

text: I currently have an HTC Desire handset. I am just about to upgrade to a new HTC handset and would like to be able to pass this phone on to my wife. What’s the best way of changing the account setup n the phone to reflect the new ownership. I intend on using my existing Google account on the new handset to transfer my own settings over. I would like to keep using the same Google Play account to retain the installed apps, but I would like my wifes telephone contacts to be kept separate and sync independently to my own as well as preventing Gmail emails on my address from pinging up this old handset. Is this doable? My current plan is to create her a Gmail account. On the existing Gmail account within the phone turn off syncing of Contacts, Calendar and Gmail. Add the new Google account and turn on syncing of the same. This /sounds/ like it will work ok, but never having done this before I’m not sure how things will work in practice.


title: Is it possible to use a GIF as my wallpaper?

text: So it has come to my attention that Live Wallpapers are not actually images but more of like, applications that are active in the background. This causes it to be a bit of a battery hog. So I was thinking, if I can just use a GIF instead (like how I did on older Nokia dumbphones), then that would at least decrease the battery usage while still having my wallpaper do some activity. When trying to set a sample GIF as wallpaper, it is asking me to crop it which I guess, in turn, removes its animation. How do I make it so that a GIF of my choice is used as the wallpaper on my phone while still retaining its animation?

First I need to check it, but there's no /proc/config.gz. How can I check(and compile) that without it?

title: Restoring original 2.2 firmware on Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000L

text: I've originally asked this question on stackoverflow, and I was suggested to ask it here. I'm currently in trouble with my samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000L GSM+WiFi model from Brazilian's Vivo carrier. The problem was: Whenever I try to open most apps (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others -- but not all) the Tablet would vibrace once, then twice, then display an error message saying that the "application stopped suddenly" and I'd have to try again. I've noticed that there were a bunch of apps installed and I deleted them all. After reboot, they came back. If I install any new apps, they would work (even Facebook), but after reset, they were all wiped out and replaced with the previous versions (like it was restoring an old "backup" of the system with those apps installed). I've managed to use adb to see the filesystem and deleted the contents of "/sdcard" which was mounted like:               /dev/block/vold/179:1 /mnt/sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0      /sdcard was a symlink to /mnt/sdcard. Note that there was no sdcard on the device. When one was put, a directory "external_sd" was created inside /mnt/sdcard and the contents of the disc would be there. I've tried to manually delete everything inside /mnt/sdcard but it all came back upon reboot. (Note: I don't have root access to the device.) I've managed to mess things up for good when I tried the command `./fastboot erase recovery`. Now the main interface keeps "rebooting" -- it displays the carrier name, then the lock screen, then vibrates once, then twice, then carrier name again... It is running android 2.2 and I'm trying to prep it to give it away (my wife is trading it for an iPad), so, I'm trying to restore everything back to where it was when I purchased it. I can't seem to find a firmware file to download (other than Cyanogen). Samsung's Kies app (I'm using a Mac) can't seem to detect the device (with USB debugging mode off, it doesnt even try. When on, it says that it can't recognize the device). Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

title: CLI commands in android?

text: Since Android is linux, cant i use standard linux commands inside android? I know there are applications that allow for a "Command Line Interface" (CLI). I also imagine that `adb` would provide access to command input (possibly as root?).   * **Can i run bash scripts and use commands like`mkdir`, `rm`, and `cp` in android?**   * **If not what caommands can i use? does google provide a list?**   * **How would i input CLI commands in android? ADB?**     * Does adb provide root? Note: I run an android emulator, from Eclipse, with Fedora 20 as my OS. I do not presently have an android device to work with, or i would probably just tinker until i figure it out. Any and all information is greatly appreciated.

title: How to hide events in Google Calendar

text: The company I work for likes for us to use Outlook to schedule everything. If we aren't going to be at work at a specific time, they ask us to create an event spanning that time, and mark it as "Out Of Office". That way, if anyone attempts to schedule a meeting with you, or checks your schedule, it will inform them that you won't be there. I am working part-time to fit a schedule around my school schedule; as a result, I have a lot of blocked off events on my calendar. Basically, all the times I'm in class are blocked off. I am syncing my Outlook and Google Calendar to my Android phone. Now, all of those blocked off time slots are rather annoying to me because it causes everything else during those times to be scrunched up. It's hard to just look at my calendar on my phone and tell what is going on next. Basically, I want the "Out Of Office" events removed from my Android's Calendar display, without removing them from Outlook. So far, I have tried to delete the event from my phone, but that syncs with Outlook, and causes it to be deleted from my Outlook account. I then tried to create a new calendar in Outlook called "Out Of Office" and add all of the events to that, then hide that on my phone. However, when I do that, it won't block people from scheduling meetings with me. I guess Outlook only uses your main calendar for that. Hiding the whole calendar from my phone isn't really an option; I still need to see the other events on my phone, such as when I have to be in meetings. Basically, my question is: How may I hide select events on my Outlook Calendar from my Android Calendar?


title: CWM Backup / Contact Recovery

text: So I just rooted using mobile odin lite and the Entropy512 kernel that has CWM recovery. Then I performed a CWM backup. Stupidly, I forgot to backup anything except for my camera data before doing this. Long story short, I lost several of my most recently added contacts when I flashed a new Jelly Bean ROM and stuff. Now I thought to myself: no problem, I'll restore using my CWM backup, save said contacts (or sync them with my google account at this point), and then next time I flash a new ROM I can just copy em over. However, when I restored using CWM like nothing on my phone works anymore. I can't view my contacts or anything to sync them. **Anyone have experience with this or know of a way I can extract my contacts from the backup I made?** I'm relatively new to Android so I'm not sure what information I should provide but heres a try: AT&T SG SII (i777) Steps:   1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081&highlight=how+to+root+without+incrementing+flash+counter   2.

title: Allowing a computer to connect to wifi from android  already connected to wifi. A unique situation

text: writing from my phone so sorry for typos. I recently fixed my laptop but the wireless network in my house doesn't work on it (its probably router configuration problem-or at least could be fixed with configuring the router, but I have no access to the router since I am renting). The network works fine on my sanyo zio which has no money on the account and no plan (so the only thing I can use this phone is for internet if I have wifi access). I want to use my phones ability to connect to the home wi-fi network to connect my laptop to that network (so transfer the home wi-fi to the laptop through my phone). Usb connection or wifi will do as I am pretty sure its input this home wi-fi that doesn't work. So if I turn my zio into a hotspot it should work. Is there any way to do that? To make situation better I have vista 64 so kyocera divers for this phone don't work. Update: I forgot to mention that for some forsaken reason (I suspect murphy's law) the bluetooth internet connection on my computer fail s when I try to connect it with my phone. (following instructions on fifox and manually connecting with the blue tooth dial up option which just times out. I'm missing some peripheral bluetooth driver ;/) I can connect to my phone through bluetooth just the internet option fails @.@ . And I don't think my phone supports the wifi option through fox fi. Although I have no way to be sure. When I turn on the hotspot option the internet connects but with limited access (just like my home network but I think its because my phone doesn't tether right not because of my laptop. Ofc I could be wrong) it says that might happen and to just automatically get new ip to fix this problem but that doesn't work also says many phones are not supported for wifi and I don't think this one is. **update** I Recently rooted my phone. I tried the apps for the rooted phones but they just want to use 3g network connection. Since I want to connect, through wifi they are quite useless. Anybody has an idea what I could download or do to make this work for me?


title: How can I disable mobile data connectivity on my Sanyo Zio?

text: I have a pay as you go Android phone. I only pay 10 dollars per 3 months (or something like that). That means that every cent counts before I run out of money. I want this phone for emergency reasons only and for internet so I don't use it to call. Yet my money on the account still runs out. When I check my statement I see a lot of charges for few to as much as 30 cents. I use my internet when I'm connected to wifi only but I think I'm still getting charged for connecting through my 3g network. Is there any way to disable the connection with the data plan so the only internet that will work is wifi? This way I will not get charged. I have tried changing the apn under settings and with apps. My phone seems incapable of even doing that. I wonder if it's some scheme to get me to pay for data without me noticing. I would still prefer a solution that allows me to call and receive calls at all times since I might receive emergency calls or need to make them. . **Update** I downloaded an app called easyswitch and it allowed me to disable the 3g network the problem is that it's a trial that lasts a week. if anyone knows a free app that will do it please let me know. I also rooted my phone but don't really want to install a whole new rom on it. After using easy switch for a while i realized that it keeps allowing 3g sometimes (sometimes it doesnt) I dont know what its depended on maybe if my phone restarts the easy switch settings restart as well? I think i will just install a new rom.

title: Vixion IRUX Tablet battery will not charge

text: I bought this tablet recently in Tenerife. Can find no information about the manufacturer. Now the battery will not charge through the mains adapter. It did charge at first. However, I have found it does charge through USB connection to my PC. When it charged previously a light at the connector would be red. When it was not charging it would be green. It is red while USB connected. Also it tells me now that it is charging, but if I remove the USB connection it stops charging. It has a screen showing battery condition in the form of a graph. I could see the graph of battery % decreasing gradually. A few days ago there was a sudden drop as if some App had used a lot of power. I decided to remove all Apps and did a factory reset. This made no difference regarding the failure to charge. I have tried shutting down completely (hold the off button for a while and it asks if I want to power off) This made no difference. Any advice please? **Edit #1:** Thanks ce4 for your response. The charger is stated to be 5v and when I check it with a voltmeter, it shows 5.2v. Also I have tried pushing the plug into the tablet to varying amounts and makes no difference. Another point maybe I didn't make clear is that when I connect with USB only, the light does not come on but the device tells me it is charging. But when I connect the power supply as well, the light comes on red as if indicating charging. But when I remove the USB leaving the power supply connected, the light goes back to green and is not charging from the power supply. Despite apparently charging on USB, the percentage of battery left charged has not yet increased from 10%. I understand that USB cannot deliver high current. It appears you are right - something wrong with the charger - maybe it is not the correct one for this model - I guess it needs to be able to deliver power at a higher current level?


title: How can I mirror something on a PC's display to my Android's display?

text: I'm currently setting up a Pivos XIOS DS as a driver for a wallboard (which is a TV mounted on a wall). Normally this is just displaying a web page with status information (currently using Kiosk Browser for this), however, we were thinking it would be nice to have the ability to display a screen/app from someone's PC on the wallboard. The challenge here is that this is not a touch-screen device; all we have is the Pivos IR remote. I am looking for a way of:   * Remotely, from one of several workstations, initiate the display -- ideally without any action needed on the Android device, or at least with something simple like a 'Yes/No' confirm prompt that can selected using the Pivos IR remote.   * Ideally once the PC ends the session, the wallboard goes back to Kiosk display. Less ideally, it's easy to return using the IR remote. This may be a combination several things/apps that need to be done, I am just not sure what they'd be. * * * Remember, I am trying to display something from a PC on the Android device, shared among several people. This means:   * Something that uses Google Accounts for authentication/connection won't work, since this is shared among several people (who likely are logged into their own Google accounts using Chrome)   * I want to mirror the desktop display so it's displayed on the Android-connected TV. I am NOT trying to remotely control the PC from the android, or the android from the PC.

title: micro-usb headset on android 2.3

text: I have a samsung galaxy ace which I am trying to setup to work with a usb headset. The problem is that the usb headset has a micro-usb connector and my phone does not seem to be recognizing it at all. I only need to use the headset to activate a phone call. I do not need to hear any audio from it, I just need to be able to press the 'phone' button on the headset and have it answer the phone. I've read up on the android developers guide and it seems as though a passive usb headset must be communicated with in host mode. It also says host mode is only available on android 3.1+ I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is any way to get this to work? using the specific speaker output port is not an option.


title: What Android sync'd data is encrypted?

text: With the release of the firesheep plug-in for firefox it has become trivial for website browsing on open Wi-Fi networks to be hijacked by 3rd party listeners. Android offers the convenient auto-sync option. However I fear that my data may be auto-sync'd while I am connected to an open Wi-Fi network while at the local coffee shop or shopping mall. Is all the data Android auto-syncs encrypted using SSL or a similar encryption mechanism? Is any auto-sync'd data unencrypted and transmitted in the clear for all to listen in to? **Update** : COMPLETELY INSECURE!!!! See below!!!!

title: Reactivating a Phone Without Service

text: I recently got an old HTC Droid Incredible 2 with Verizon, that doesn't have service anymore. I wanted to give the phone a "clean slate" so I did a factory reset. However, when I booted it up again, it said that it needed to make a phone call (through Verizon) in order to re-activate, and will not let me proceed without doing this. I have pretty much no idea what I should do now. I could try rooting it and installing CyanogenMod or something, and hope that it would work, but I'm not sure if an unactivated phone can do that. What should I do?


title: Installing Google text-to-speech hd voices on sd card

text: I use the Google text-to-speech engine and it has the option to download high quality voices. Those are about 250 mB per file, and i barely have any internal memory left after i download them. Is there a way to move those to the SD card? I have link2sd installed, but I would need to convert the engine from system app to user app to link the app files, and I suspect that this would cause all kinds of unforeseeable problems. I think that i would then also have to do the procedure of converting this app to system app and back for every rom update i flash, for the cyanogenmod update script to work -or maybe that step wouldn't be needed since userapps do not get touched anyway? Well, even if the above would work, i would prefer a simpler solution. Has anyone successfully moved those files to the SD card? **UPDATE IN CASE ANYONE READS THIS:** Apparently i would be able to move those files with the new paid version of link2sd, but i have by now decided not to use google's hd voices. There are better-sounding alternatives available for free on the market, and google voice search / google now use their own voice (i think it's network- synthesized) anyway.


title: Completely "Mute" my Android Phone?

text: I have seen the Question: Is there a one-click widget to make my phone completely silent? and this is not a Duplicate Question. In my, Samsung Galaxy Y phone, when I completely reduce my volume, it goes to the "Vibration" mode. Turning the volume down again after the "Vibration" mode appears has no effect in my phone. I have look around and found no option to mute at all. My Question is whether is it possible to completely mute an Android phone without downloading/installing any extra app? Doing everything mentioned in: What is the fastest way to turn the phone into silent mode? puts my phone to "Vibration". I can't believe that there can exist a phone in today's world without such a basic feature.

title: slow unusable nexus s

text: Samsung Nexus S, android 4.3.1, cyanogen 10.2.0-crespo, usable memory: 383MB      I have this mobile for three years now. The phone seemed to work okay until ICS and it started to get worse with Jelly bean. Now-a-days the phone is really slow and it is mostly unusable. It becomes more unusable when enabling data/wifi. I assume many apps are sent the broadcast message at the same time and they are all trying to perform updates at the same time. I used to have Watchdog app and for quite a long time I have been monitoring cpu utilization and load average and found it to be high at most times. Until one day, I spotted the available memory was close to zero. Then i assumed the cpu is performing a lot of wasteful GC at most times. Later, I spotted more occurrences of memory plummeting to zero. I noticed that the garbage collection kicks in when I view 'My apps -> Running' and I am not sure whether it happens often enough to make the system performant. In order to debug, I decided to reduce the number of apps and started uninstalling many of the apps including watchdog but that approach has not solved the problem. I have installed cyanogen updates and that has not solved the problem. I did notice the phone is much faster with the default apps from cyanogen. after installing gapps.zip, android installs more apps based on purchase history and the phone becomes slower. also the phone seems to be faster on restart and after a few days of uptime, it has less memory to work with. i believe there may be a memory leak and not enough memory to launch new apps and does wasteful GC work. the ways I realize the phone to be slow are 1\. when looking at running apps, android seem to be killing many non-foreground apps as I notice status 'restarting' 2\. when i use the button on my microphone, the beep to the interrupt arrives either too late or it is completely missed. 3\. if i come out of an app to the home screen, I can notice trebuchet initializing guys, can you please offer some suggestions to debug the issue?

text: Is there someway to quickly turn on / off the lock screen without delving into the settings? Most of the time I want the lock screen, but when using the device to play music / the radio I'd like quick access to the full app without needing to unlock my screen each time. Ideally when something is detected in the headphone jack I'd like the ability for the lock screen to be disabled first time the screen is unlocked, or if already unlocked when headphone jack is used simply disable the lock screen. Or perhaps there's a widget I can add to my home screen to quickly turn on / off the lock screen manually? Any ideas?


title: Speech-to-Text Uppercase Letter Problem

text: Whenever I compose any type of message through speech-to-text, a problem occurs which is rather annoying and seemingly, there is no workaround. The problem: Android capitalises the first letter of the sentence, which is great. But it then proceeds to capitalise every occurrence of the same letter wherever it appears throughout the rest of the sentence. For example:               This senTence is an example senTence ThaT has been composed Through speech-To-TexT.      I have turned auto-capitalisation off and this (obviously) results in no capital letters being used either at the beginning of the sentence, nor are any occurrences of the letter `I` capitalised. This is almost as annoying as the main problem. I would like to know if anybody has had a similar problem and, if so, is there a solution to this problem? I have a Samsung Galaxy Note and am running Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread). Many thanks.


title: Where to modify the pseudonym used to rate Android apps?

text: I am currently rating android applications that I downloaded with the username `firstname.lastname` where `firstname` and `lastname` are mine. However, I would like to put a pseudonym on it because my real name reveals to everybody the device I am using, which should be private. Currently, my rating looks like this one:               firstname.lastname on May 22, 2012 (Samsung Galaxy S2 with version 1.0)      I looked into my public profile of Google+, but I cannot find something which looks like `firstname.lastname`. I looked on the Google Play website, but I did not find related preferences. Where can I change this name? Is it in the device itself or what?


title: Outlook Style Android App

text: I use 2010 Outlook running on a PoP3 server. I just bought a Galaxy Note and love it. But I need an e-mail app like outlook that will allow me to setup folder and rules to move specific e-mail in their correct folders. I don't care about syncing with Outlook on my window x64 O.S. because my server handles that for me. But I need the portability of my note with a sort of sophisticated folder/rule e-mail app. I don't mind paying for it, as long as it just doesn't delete my mail after 30 days.


title: How can I flash ClockWorkMod on my Samsung Galaxy Fit running froyo?

text: I was following instructions on xda-developers to install a new ROM, then it linked to these instructions about installing CWM on Samsung GT-S5670. The problem is, there's a Warning there that says: > I take no support for RFS file system So this Recovery will not work for > Stock ROM or Custom ROM that using RFS file system. Also this Recovery will > not work for froyo baseband My device matches **both** conditions. I did a `mount` and checked the output, both `/system` and `/cache` are RFS. And I'm running stock Android 2.2.1 JXKA4 baseband (And there's no official update from what I know). Now, I searched everywhere, and found someone who ported this to support RFS filesystems. I'm not sure that's what I want though, because I will be installing an ext4 ROM. I also read in the forums about people bricking their device with ROM Manager, as it is not currently supported... (and with the method I linked to also with android 2.2) I guess I definitely need Odin, but can't find the right version (official or not) of CWM to flash? What do I risk trying to flash the one on xda-developers forum, most probably bricking right? Or maybe should I use another recovery for my device? **UPDATE** : I just read this thread. It seems there is not other way but to: > First of all upgrade to Gingerbread via Kies/ODIN. Then, install CWM via > ODIN. Download any ROM and flash via CWM. So, for CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Fit to work, you need to have Gingerbread flashed, and ad my phone has never had the Gingerbread official update, I think I will have to flash another stock ROM (another region), then flash CWM, then probably flash a custom ROM. Additionally I thought I might install that RFS based CWM to backup stock ROM, then go on flashing a custom ROM. I'll try it, and if it works, I'll post an answer and accept it.

title: Why do I have trouble seeing files from Windows?

text: I have a Nook HD+ with `kivy` installed. When I connect the device with USB I can use Windows Explorer to see the directories and copy files to the Nook. But the log files it generates don't show up in Explorer. I've installed BusyBox so I can copy files around, and copying one of the logs to the base program directory works fine - `ls -l` shows that the permissions and owners are the same as the other files in the directory. But I can't see them from Windows. I don't know which version of Android, if someone can tell me how to see it I'll add the information to the question. Edit: shutting off the Nook and turning it back on seemed to clear things up. I don't know if it will show any new modifications to the directory, but I got what I needed for now.

title: Calendar access from apps: only some calendars are displayed

text: I've Sony Ericsson X10 mini pro with Android 2.1 and root. I want to have a separate timetable calendat that will not be visible in some places (calendar app). I think I've some good reasons for creating a seperate calendar. I sync calendars in my phone with my Google account. I've enabled auto-sync, but I've tried to force sync manually. However, although the Sony Ericsson calendar app* can see all the calendars, other apps (e.g. Jorte, Business Calendar Beta, Profile timer and Android Agenda Widget) can't. They can see only some older calendars. Deleting visible calendars didn't solve this problem: the deleted calendars had disappeared, but the new calendars haven't been shown. I've also tried to delete my account and resync, but it says "This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (which deletes all your data)...". I've also tried to find something interresting in ddms. Error like this is displayed regurarly once a minute (almost exactly, see http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/8eey69l4/plochu1_086.png ): `ERROR/ActivityThread(2823): Failed to find provider info for calendarEx` *) Sony Ericsson has replaced the default calendar app by their one.


title: How to select ALL text in web browser?

I can then paste it to a clipboard "viewer" app (which is not really a clipboard viewer but rather a clipboard "paster"). The problem is that, no matter what I do, my finger doesn't seem to pick up the **entire** text on that page. There is always something missing: A few characters from the page start, or from the page end. Is there something similar to Ctrl+A on Windows?

title: Problem adding web app shortcut to home screen on Galaxy tablet

text: I have a Samsung GT-P7510 tablet running Android 4.0.4 and I want to add a bookmark to the home screen so I have one touch access to the web app. Previously this same tablet was running an earlier version of Android (3.x) and I had no problem adding a web app to the home screen. I would first add the page as a bookmark and then long press the bookmark to get a menu. On the menu there was an option to add the bookmark as a shortcut on the home screen. When I did that then I am pretty sure it allowed me to specify a name for the home screen shortcut. Once I added it then it went to the home screen automatically and I could see the shortcut icon. I recently upgraded the tablet to Android 4.0.4 and tried to do the above operation. When I do, I see these differences. When I long press a bookmark and select "Add shortcut to home" nothing seems to happen. No dialog box comes up asking me what name I want to give the shortcut. When I go to the home screen I don't see my shortcut. Why isn't this working???

title: Need a file explorer that supports root as well as showing the folder size

text: There seems to be a serious dearth of quality apps on Android. I'm having memory issues in my Xperia L phone and I'm trying to determine the root cause. (No it's not the Album memory leak issue - I've already fixed that). There is a folder that's taking up a horrendous amount of space for some reason and I need to locate which one it is. So my requirements are:   * A file explorer so i can check out different folders   * which supports root access so I can check out all folders   * which shows the folder size   * which allows me to sort folders by their sizes So far I tried File Commander since it was so highly recommended. Weird that it doesn't support root. Then i tried a couple of more file explorers each of which had 1-2 of the above features but doesn't have the others. I also come across one file explorers that did have all these features but almost everything was locked up for "pro access". Is there any File Explorer that supports all these functions? (IMO these are all basic features but maybe I got spoiled by Windows).


title: Can a user read crash logs on Android?

By uninstalling/installing one app at a time I was able to figure out that Viber was one major cause of that issue. Some other causes that I have been able to figure out are updating apps on my phone while the phone is being charged (yes that sounds stupid but 50% of my crashes happen during that time), playing Candy Crush and receive some notification, and more. I want to know is there a way I can read the crash logs without rooting the phone? And if I can, how can analyse and find the root cause (app) of problem?

title: Vibrate function on my Samsung Galaxy S3 doesn't work though it is turned on. What is the cause?

text: I have had this phone for a few months and only now did I try to start using the vibrate function. When I choose "Vibrate" from the drop-down bar it never vibrates when I receive texts though sometimes it works when I use the Facebook messenger app. I went into settings and enabled everything that has the word "Vibrate" in it. Also, my phone is on power-saving mode; does that have any impact? The vibrate function is supposed to notify you of incoming notifications but by vibrate, yes? Is it a hardware problem?

title: Enable data roaming only for specified providers?

text: I'm living in a country A. My mobile phone provider is located in country B. Unfortunately, I have to enable data roaming to work both in country A and country B. This doesn't costs my roaming costs, because the providers in country A and B work together. Unfortunately, I'm living also very close to country C. And a lot of time (during shopping, working etc) I go to country C. I always have to explicitly disable data roaming then. Sometimes I forget to do so and then I causes a lot of roaming costs. So is it possible to allow data roaming only for specific providers? From the Android OS I don't think so, but it should be possible to do it progamatically? Every time the provider changes I would check if it it in the allowed list and if not I would disable data roaming? Edit: Does anybody know if there are already apps which can do that? Otherwise I would start the development of suach an app.

That probably depends on how well labels and workspaces are mapped into Astrid or how good Tasker interacts with other apps apart from Astrid. So, if there is another way to \- Have other people add tasks to certain lists \- Fire up these lists triggered by Tasker \- Trigger sync by Tasker that would be fine, too :) Best regards


title: Can't sync appointments from server to phone

text: Verizon HTC Rezound, ICS 4.0.3. This seems to be a common problem, especially with ICS, but I have yet to find a definitive solution that works for me. I just got my new phone, and have gone through the basic setup including syncing the phone to my workplace Exchange account. Mail's fine (up and down), contacts are fine (down at least, not sure about up), and events created on my phone are pushed up to the server and then to my office desktop, but events already on the server do not sync down to the phone. I found one potential solution for another HTC ICS device; delete all Calendar-based data and then remove and reinstall the Exchange account. Did that, still not working. My last phone was relatively ancient (Sony XPeria X10, Android Eclair), used TouchDown for its mail program, and had a number of problems, but appointment synchronization wasn't one of them. What's the deal?


title: Sync mp3s between 2 android devices?

text: I've a galaxy and a Samsung tablet. I download many mp3s on the tablet and I'd like to be able to sync them with the phone and vice versa. Any app for this? I am talking about lots of files, so Dropbox and Google drive are not what I have in mind. The I'd like something that works over wifi


title: How do I put a new wallpaper on my Android 4.3 device?

text: I've got an image I would like to make the wallpaper on my tablet. When I go into Settings:Device:Wallpaper:Home Screen I have to select from one of the following:   * Gallery   * Live wallpapers   * Wallpapers The image I want to use is in my Dropbox. Gallery appears to have some capability to sync with Dropbox, but I don't see any way to sync just a single file. I have gigs of stuff in my Dropbox and don't want to wait (or waste flash) trying to sync everything over to my tablet for just one file. Gallery doesn't appear to have any other capability to import files?! I've tried some things directly from Dropbox. I try tapping on the image and it brings up some kind of image viewer which doesn't seem related to Gallery. When I long tap, I am given the options: "Share", "Favorite", "Delete", "Rename", "Move" and "Export". The only one that seems potentially useful is "Export", however it brings up a list of apps, none of which is Preview. It does have "Save to SD card" but I also don't know how to use an image on an SD card as a wallpaper! I tried exporting it to my scrapbook, and from there it says the location of the file is:               /Android/data/com.dropbox.android/files/scratch/Camera Uploads/Galaxy.jpg      But this doesn't help me! Strangely, from the Scrapbook there is also a "Link" button which says I can "Complete action using" and one choice is Gallery, but when I select that, even though I appear to be in the Gallery, the image still doesn't show up in the Gallery when I try to set the wallpaper. Strangely, there _is_ a menu option to "Set as" which says I can set it as my wallpaper, but when I select that it wants me to select what part of the image to use and shows me a portrait shaped rectangle to resize. But I want to use the whole image! Why can't I use a landscape image as a landscape wallpaper when my tablet is in landscape mode? I tried going directly to the file system, but I can't find where wallpaper or gallery images are stored. I tried doing a search by my file manager will only display the first 500 images, and these are all images from other apps. This seems like it should be such a simple thing!
