Chrome reopens previous tabs even after shutdown

On my Nexus 7 when starting Chrome it reopens the previous tabs. I can understand doing this as I switch from Chrome to another running app and then back to Chrome, but not if I've shut the app down, and certainly not if I've rebooted the device. Yet for some reason Chrome assumes that I must want to look again at the last thing I was looking at. Rather presumptuous. I would have thought there would be an option to turn that "feature" on or off, but I've not been able to find it. Is it possible to disable the opening of previously viewed tabs?


Pinch-to-zoom in HTML emails

In the standard browser you can zoom in/out (by pinching or with the buttons.)   But in the standard Mail app (at least in Android 2.3.7) it does not work when viewing an HTML email message. Is there a way to enable this? (Or is there a 3rd-party mail app that does?)


Microphone "speaker mode" sensitivity with headphones plugged in?

In my car I have the headphone socket of my Galaxy S2 plugged into my car's auxiliary socket so that I can listen to music/podcasts whilst driving. This would also be useful for handsfree calls - except that when someone rings, I can hear their voice through the car speakers, but they can barely hear me. If I press the "speaker" button, then they can now hear me perfectly, but I can't hear them. Is there any way to have the microphone sensitivity of "speaker mode", but with incoming audio still going through the headphone socket? If not, does anyone know of any hands free alternatives without spending a fortune on a bluetooth hands free kit?


Turn off phone by holding the power button?

I've been having a small case of my screen not turning on at times. It happens on a 1 out of 100 basis. Anyway, I can confirm that the phone did not shut down because I can take screenshots (via power button + volume down key) and hear the screenshot sound. However, the display remains turned off. What I found to be the fix is to remove the battery to force shutdown the phone and re-insert it and open again. That would have been an OK solution but my phone has 2 layers of battery cover so it's kinda tedious to do when the random screen problem occurs (especially if I'm outside or on the road). What I want to happen is that if I hold down the power button for some time (5 seconds maybe?), it will power off the device thus, saving me the trouble of having to remove and re-insert the battery. How do I make holding down the power button for some time turn off the phone? Phone is ST17i, runninh MiniCMSandwich Lite rom with RaGe kernel.


android.process.acore has stopped

I backed up one galaxy S3 and did a restore on another. Then I try to boot the new one and I get a message "Unfortunately the process android.process.acore has stopped". After hitting OK a few times I get Unfortunately TouchWiz has stopped. Then back to the first message. I can't get past this msg. I thought that maybe I should do another Restore but I can't get to anything cause this happens as soon as I boot.

How to get visual email and message notifications on lockscreen?

I am very new to Android. I tried searching in this forum and google in general without finding an answer. I would like to be able to see notifications on my unlock screen. For example, 3 unread gmail messages, 5 unread exchange messages, 1 new sms, 2 new voicemail. Is this possible? If this is not possible can I at least do it on my home screen? I have widgets for all these there, but they don't seem to show a little number on the icon with unread. I feel as though this is a no-brainer feature, but I just can' figure it out.


How to switch sd cards when using a data2whatever (d2w) custom ROM?

I'm currently running MIUI XJ (Gingerbread 2.3.5) with d2w on my HTC Desire with the 4GB sd card it was shipped with, but as I found the joy of the occasional ROM-switch, I found myself running out of storage on the sd card, which was filling up with alternate roms, flashable updates for said roms, nandroid backups of different roms, titanium backups, miui backups and, well, the stuff I'd actually like to use (photos, music). So my question is: How can I safely replace an sd card with a bigger one, even if the original one is partitioned in a special way to make use of d2w? I realize I could simply partition the bigger sd card similarly to the original one, but what if I need a bigger sd-ext partition? (Which I, indeed, need for some Gingersense ROMs). Will the system simply accept the bigger partition or do I have to make a nandroid backup with the original sd card and reflash that backup once the bigger, partitioned sd card is mounted? Would the partitions remain untouched?   Would there be any considerable loss if I boot the system with the partitioned sd card with an empty ext-partition? As you can see, I don't even really know what sort of data is stored there. EDIT: So, I did it. **My solution** (not optimal, but worked. Keep in mind: With the HTC Desire, you can't switch SD cards while the battery is in, so no "on the fly" way. Also, I have no proper card reader lying around.):   1. Backup of ALL the things (Nandroid backup, just in case, MIUI/Titanium Backup for apps+system settings (things stored on the sd-ext partition) and a full copy of the previous FAT32 partition)   2. Put the new SD card in the phone and partition it (I used 4EXTRecovery so I could do it in the phone and increased the sd-ext partition from 256 to 1024mb)   3. Mount the sd card on a computer, copy the contents of the old FAT32 to the new one (FAT32 partition should now be the same as before and it has your MIUI/TitaniumBackup on it)   4. Boot the system (may be slow since there is now an empty data partition), when the system is up, you can restore your backups via MIUI Backup and/or Titanium Backup. I used Google to sync contacts and messages etc were synced with MIUI Backup, if you are not running a MIUI then you can use SMS Backup+ for messages.   5. System is now the same as before, but the partitions are bigger :) **Recommended** solution I stumbled upon that seems easier to me:   1. Mount the sd card on a pc, open in the partitioning tool of your choice (I was told partition wizard would do the trick)   2. Clone the sd card as a whole   3. Apply that clone to the new sd card   4. Increase the partitions as you like   5. Put the new sd card in your phone. Should work exactly like before.

What Could Cause System Apps to Run that Are Not Used

When testing a widget I created, I wanted to make sure that it uses as little CPU power as possible. After some research I downloaded Watchdog to use as a monitoring tool, which works great. When I finished my testing I set the CPU threshold at 10%, just curious to see what process would randomly go above that level. One that exceeds the 10% threshold on a daily basis, at least a couple times a day, is **`com.motorola.Dlna`**. I know what DLNA is, what it's used for, and how to set it up but I don't use it, nor do I have it set up on my phone. I spoke with a Motorola support analyst and asked why it would be running. The response I got was "it's possible you could have set it up without knowing it, maybe by an application that you downloaded but it's nothing to worry about".   Needless to say the answer I got wasn't very helpful so I'm really just wondering what would cause this service to use so much CPU power randomly? Most of the time it's not being used, but when it is, it shows that it's using usually between 12.5% - 15% CPU power. Do applications really access/use this service without me ever actually going through and setting it up?

What options exist when the vendor does not supply an ADB driver for an Android device?

I bought an Android phone and the vendor does not offer any drivers whatsoever. The Android SDK and the drivers that come with it don't seem to work with the device, but the device itself reports as Android 2.2.1. Other users have reported that the drivers of the Nook Color worked for them, but I cannot confirm this, after trying. What options do I have to connect to the device (and ultimately to root it)? Is it truly just the .inf file that I need to manipulate in order to make the device ID known to Windows? After all there are tools to figure out those strings while the device is connected (although "unknown") ... The model in question is a **Simvalley SP-60 GPS**. _Note:_ The OS I need drivers for is either Windows 7 x64 or, if anyone has successfully done that, Windows XP 32bit (under VMware with the USB device connected to it).

How do I restart the 2.2 update for HTC Desire?

I just got the notification for the 2.2 update for my HTC Desire (on O2 in the UK). I downloaded and let the update install. After a couple of reboots it told me it couldn't install as I needed to clean up some memory, which I've now done. How do I restart the update install? I've tried restarting the phone and going to the phone settings and checking for updates, but it doesn't find any updates and it's still reporting 2.1 installed. * * * Update: Turns out the update file was on my SD card, but renaming it to update.zip and following Al. E's steps didn't work - I get a file not signed errors ("failed to verify whole-file signature" and "signature verification failed". I've also since done a hard reset too, and now have open call with HTC second line support. Will update you when they get back to me. Apparently setting the date to the future would cause the OTA to be detected again, but my date won't stay set to the future (yes, I have turned off network date updates!). I'm now researching how to use a file manager to update from the 2.2 zip file. Watch this space... * * * Update 2: Okay, I finally cracked it! First, I downloaded the UK O2 update from HTC's site, then followed Al E's method below to install the update. Job done!! The URL for the download was http://liveimage.htc.com/. I knew the name of the update file as it was in my sd\download folder.

Why does Android have such problems remembering last know location?

I've never been able to figure out the manner in which Android remembers its last know location. If seems to remember the location from several hours ago but not several seconds ago. I think its best to give an example of what I mean. I was recently in the Bay Area. I was using Google maps on my Android and I happened to be around the Google Campus in Mountain View. I was using maps with GPS enabled and after a while I got a proper GPS lock which I used to navigate around the area. When I went back to San Francisco later on I was using it to get around the city. Every time I turned on the maps it put my location back in Mountain view. About 10 seconds later after it got the GPS lock I got my real location. If I turned the phone off and on again a few seconds later the same thing happened - it thinks I am in somewhere I was hours earlier and then kicks in with my actual location. This happens all the time - remembering where I was hours ago, not where I was a few moments ago. Once I have been around an area for a certain amount of time this now becomes the new "last know location". Why, once I get an accurate GPS lock, does Android not register this as the "last known location" instead of one from earlier?

Or do you have any other ideas?

How can I find out what causes "Android OS" to consume battery?

The issue is that I see a high percentage on the "Android OS" item in the Battery Usage, and I want to find out what is causing it. But let me say that I'm interested in diagnostics techniques and tools, rather than increasing the battery life, as you will see in the below figures that the battery isn't drained much faster than expected. Here's the situation with the phone right now:   * Last charged 13 hours ago   * I restarted the phone after charging it   * I have switched off everything (such as GPS, WiFi, Data network)   * I was on a 2G network all the time   * My only use from the phone during the day was a few minutes of WiFi, receiving two SMS messages, and a call that lasted less than a minute.   * I have auto-sync turned off And here's the battery usage stat:   * Android OS: 67%   * Display: 10%   * Cell standby: 9%   * Phone idle: 6% The Android OS shows 1 hour and 30 minutes of CPU time, but the total time that the phone was turned on was less than 30 minutes, and I don't have anything active in the background. The battery level isn't bad at all (80%), but considering that I haven't done anything with the phone (and that the phone has a 2500 mAh battery) I am curious to find out what is causing the battery usage. Obviously, this should be caused by some background tasks that aren't listed in the battery usage. I am looking for ways, tools, and methods that enables me to diagnose this further and relate the 67% of the usage to actual applications. Some additional information: I have a Galaxy Note, with Gingerbread 2.3.6 installed. I have "Usage Timelines Free" installed (which wasn't running during the day), and it doesn't show any excessive CPU usage by any app that can lead me toward who's consuming the battery. Related question (helpful, but didn't answer my question) : What can cause "Android OS" process to use high percentage of battery?

This is a nice option for people mostly on WiFi who use a small number of minutes (or VoIP), because with AT&T GoPhone plans, you can keep network costs down toward $100/year. Is there a similar procedure for porting to a high-end Android phone? For example, can you buy a $3 GoPhone from Best Buy, buy an unlocked or AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II off eBay, move the SIM card into the Galaxy, and expect it to work? Other than ensuring the GoPhone plan has a data bundle feature, what other configuration is required?


Protecting or Limiting my account's power

I have linked a great deal of power to my phone. It is connected to my gmail to such an extent that I am starting to get concerned that if somebody where to steal my phone they could reek havok on my life. Is there a way to limit my phone's account power with Google, and other companies. Example: On my phone I can add, modify, and delete accounts. That is fine and dandy but I would be devastated if somebody deleted all my contacts and all my mail. Can I limit the accounts ability to delete stuff?


Can a phone manufacturer's custom interface be changed?

This is related to this question about removing apps, but I thought it was different enough to merit separate focus. I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy 2 S, and it has a custom interface designed by Samsung. Mostly, it's fine. However, some things bug me. For example, at the bottom of the screen, where there are standard buttons like "Phone" and "Internet" - things I'm likely to access very frequently - they have this stupid "SP Mode" mail app thing that I will never use. Ever. I'd like to kill it, but after searching options, I don't know if I can make that kind of change. Is it possible to get different "skins" and load them into the phone? Are existing interfaces modifiable? Is this another thing that would require rooting the phone?

Can I create a specific ringtone for email from specific people?

Is there any way at all to set it up so that I can have a different notification sound for different email senders? In other words, if I get an email from Fred, can I have a different notification than an email from Jane? I know how to set up filters within Gmail, but I can't determine if there is any way to connect that to the notification sound on my phone. I also know that different ringtones can be set when getting phone calls from different people, based on their entry in the contact list. However, there does not seem to be any kind of option in the contacts interface to do the same thing with emails. Thank you for any advice.


Walking between Wi-Fi access points causes network to be disabled

Testing my new Motorola Triumph the last couple of days, I've noticed issues with the Wi-Fi. Aside from connection attempts to the 802.1x EAP network at school causing reboots (a known problem with the Triumph's software and/or wireless chipset), I've run into a problem where if I walk between buildings, it won't reconnect automatically. When I go into the Wi-Fi settings, the network is "Disabled", presumably because there were issues reconnecting while I was outside on the sidewalk. My LG Optimus V never had this problem; I used it all semester and it always reconnected within a minute or two of settling into a new room. It occasionally disabled the network, but I can count those occurrences on one hand (in decimal ;-). The Triumph did it half a dozen times in one day. (I change buildings a lot.) Is this something that can be fixed? Perhaps by rooting and tweaking some system settings file(s)? If I can work out most of the software issues by tweaking the phone myself, I'll live with the few that will undoubtedly be unfixable without an update from Motorola. Meanwhile I've tested with the insecure campus network. The unauthenticated network reconnected within 30 seconds of my entering a new building. (How fortunate that IT maintains a network that dumb devices can use for Internet access.) _(Note: I have no desire to use a custom ROM unless it fully supports **all** the features of the phone. That includes HDMI output and the ability to have Wi-Fi & Bluetooth turned on simultaneously without pegging the CPU. Unfortunately that lets out ever using CM7 unless those known issues are fixed.)_


Dictionary set i instead of I on Perfect keyboard app

I am using Perfect keyboard as my input method when typing, and I've done the mistake of adding 'i' to the English dictionary, so now whenever I am meant to type 'I', it will come out as 'i' instead, unless it is the first letter of the sentence. What I've tried is to clear the app's cache and overall data, as well as re- install it, no dice. I've also found the Samsung keyboard app, I cleared the cache and data from that too, but can't re-install it. I searched for any additional keyboard input methods, but found none. The version of perfect keyboard I am using is the latest and free one, my phone is a Samsung galaxy S3 with latest firmware. 4.3. Is there a possible way of solving this? I won't hard reset my phone for it, the issue is mostly a minor annoyance. If I need to buy the full app, which would unlock the ability to edit the dictionary, that would be no issue. Tho I am unsure if that dictionary will actually contain my "mishap", or simply contain any additions after the paid version was installed.


How does update.zip work?

update.zip s are packages containing replacements for parts of an android system. The packages contain all the files it the update is intended to replace, and a script that will do the replacement when its run. Update.zips can come from OTA updates but in some cases it is necessary to manually download and put an update.zip in some special folder. However, the update.zip is still detected and applied in the same manner. What part of android detects and handles update.zips?


Galaxy SIII has a weak data connection

I've noticed that my Galaxy SIII has a very weak data connection at times. This occurs even when people around me with the same phone and carrier (T-Mobile) have perfectly adequate connections. Are there settings somewhere I'm missing? I've looked at the app mentioned in this post, but would prefer not to install another app if this can be fixed with configuration changes.


Upload battery status to a website

I would like to maintain a central list of the battery status of my devices. For my Linux laptops, I will write a small shell script that reads the battery information from the kernel and uploads it to my webserver. I have no idea how to do this for Android devices, though. Basically I would like them to open `http://example.com/tracker.php?id=cell&battery=0.67` every 30 minutes or so. Is there an app that can do that? Although I have never programmed on Android yet, I have experience with Java and Linux. Is it possible to program something like that with reasonable effort?

Not all files are visible over MTP

I have LG L5 (e610 model) device with Cyanogenmod 10. When I connect the phone to a computer with Linux (I have mtpfs installed), I can see both internal storage and the SD card. However when I navigate inside them, I can't see some of the files. For example, if I open file manager app on the phone, I can see several files in the `Internal storage/Notifications` directory, however the directory on the computer only shows one of those files. If I switch USB connection type to PTP (camera) - as OS X doesn't support MTP natively - Image Capture sees the phone as a camera, however it can only see about a third of all the images present on the phone. I don't have a Windows machine to try, but I suspect the results would be similar. I tried upgrading Cyanogenmod to the latest nightly, clearing and reinstalling it - same results. Any idea as to what is going on? How can I make all files appear on the host computer?


When I search for apps, what determines the order in which they are ranked?

When I search for apps in the Google Play Store, what is the determining factor of the order in which they are presented to me? Is it the number of downloads? Or reviews? Or total star rating? Thanks!


How to install Android to any phone very first time?

I know this sounds weird one. But I have a Motorola Photon 4g which has got corrupted or some unstable ROM. I am facing 15-20 blackouts and restarts. This led to think like that. I want to know the procedure for flashing the very first time to phone. That is when the company manufactures the phone. It is has nothing. So they must follow some steps to make it alive. OR Simply, how do they flash the phone? What are the tools and steps they follow? I want that. I knew it must be somewhere on google. But I am not able to find those stuffs. Any help on those direction will be a great help. or Any generic way to completely format and install ROM as we do in our desktop. From boot completely erases the HDD , repartition and instally any desired OS to it (I know in case of Android ROMs, its is restricted to Phones and their basebands.)


Xperia V New SD Card, can't make it recognize it as external

SEARCHED FIRST, WANT TO ASK MYSELF! So I just bought a new Micro SDHC card, 32gb Samsung, placed it in the turned off phone, then turned it on, the sd card is recognized, but it doesn't appear in the Applciations directory in Settings as External Memory, and if I try to move some app to external memory, it only appears as Move to INternal memory, and if I click it it changes to Move to Phone. With Root Explorer there are 2 sdcard folders, sdcard and sdcard1, also a folder storage which contains sdcard0, sdcard1 and usbdisk. What can I do to make the phone recognize the sd card completely and not use emulated sd card anymore?

Getting my Angry Birds (and other) data files onto my Galaxy Nexus?

So...with my HTC Hero, there are two Angry Birds custom files - `highscores.lua` and `settings.lua`. Easy enough, I copy them off to my PC. However, on the Galaxy Nexus there's a) no SD card option and b) connecting as a MTP device only seems to show certain folders, and certainly nothing Rovio (Angry Birds makers) related. So how on earth does one get your AB scores into the new phone? Even with Titanium Backup, you'd need an SD card option on the Nexus to copy across, surely?


Samsung Galaxy S4, weird model, can I custom ROM?

Volume controller and screen size controller missing from Youtube app

I have Samsung P-3100 Tab. I have youtube android application installed. I am having the following complaints with youtube player (Probably I do not know how to get to these, so this question! ) 1) If I hold the Tab in Landscape orientation, then the video occupies the whole screen (which is as expected). However, I cannot see the screen size icon on the screen, to change the screen size from "Full Screen" to normal screen Mode. I have to rotate the Tab to Vertical orientation to see see any comments or related videos. (this is very annoying!) :( 2) There is no volume controller on the screen anywhere. Is it because youtube app rely on the volume controller on the Tab? I am sure other people might have faced the same issue. I googled for this issue but I couldn't find anything helpful.


Change main Google account login address

When I activated my first Android phone, the Galaxy Note, last week it forced me to create a Gmail account for it. Seeing no other way out, I did as I was told. However, seeing yet another google mail address pop up was quite annoying, so I decided to try to get rid of it. I managed to remove Gmail from my account permanently, and go back to my normal e-mail address to login to Google, but my Android device isn't following. It still has the gmail address set as login. Is there a way to just change the login address? The account behind it is the same.

Why each android application runs on a different Dalvik VM process?

I have read that each android applications runs on a different Dalvik VM process (all forked from zygote). I also read that these VMs are really lightweight and use copy on write buffers and all that, so far so good. But, I also read that this was not done for security reasons (e.g. isolation) - in fact dalvik vm should not be considered a security boundary, says Google. So my question is this: Why each process has to run on a different VM?


How can I fix the Wi-Fi button or prevent Wi-Fi errors when turning it off and back on?

Sometimes after I shut off Wi-Fi using the button inside the notification bar drop-down, I can't turn it back on with that button. Hitting the button does nothing, it's not even highlighted. When I go into `Settings -> Wireless and network -> Wi-Fi settings` the status under "Wi-Fi" shows Error. If I click "Wi-Fi" to turn it on from here, it usually turns on without any problems. Occassionally I have to reboot to fix it. Is there a fix I can use to make the TouchWiz Wi-Fi button work the same as enabling/disabling the Wi-Fi in Settings? Or, ideally, is there some way I can prevent the Wi-Fi from getting into an error state when I turn it off and back on? I have a Galaxy S Vibrant running 2.2, but this has been reported on other Samsung phones as well (example).

Galaxy S I-9000 v2.2 contacts disappeared and home screen blank

Yesterday, I picked up my phone and saw that the screen was black and unresponsive, also the lights on the two soft keys in the bottom were lit up. I tried tapping those keys and also the lock key but nothing changed so I took the battery out and restarted the phone. Then I saw that all my homescreens were blank except the first one which had google search widget(wasn't there before) and some other default widgets.Also the contacts stored on the phone were gone (google contacts and sim contacts are there). In addition to those, my lock animation (the one that says "slide the glass") is gone. Now the phone opens up directly to home screen when I press the lock button. Also, the home button does open the screen light when the screen goes dark, but it won't get me to my home screen. One more problem, the menu which is displayed when you press and hold the lock button used to have 4 items (power off, data network open/close, silent mode open/close and flight mode open/close) but now it only has 1 item (power off). The last one, my phone seems to be giving the busy tone to anyone that calls me. I can call anyone with no problem but I can't receive calls. Text messages are fine too. What can be the cause of this? Has anyone had any similar problem. btw I never messed with the roms or root or anything. I've been using it with the stock rom since I bought it. The most important thing is the contacts that are stored in the phone. Can I recover those? If so how? Thanks in advance.


Recovery kernel difference

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?


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

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.


Disallow JavaScript Setting

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.


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

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) ).

Netbook with Android 4.1 freezes on load screen

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?

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

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?


Samsung Galaxy SHV-160k won't get signal

Android usb otg high current negotiation though hub?

I have been tinkering with a android usb-otg project and could use some assistance. 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


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

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?

Very specific Asus MeMO Pad HD 7 Wi-Fi problem

I've got a fairly odd problem and have not been able to find a solution for months... I have n Asus MeMO pad HD 7 (ME173X) running Android 4.2.2 which usually does just fine connecting to Wi-fi to and running apps that depend on an internet connection (e.g Facebook, Google Play Store, etc.) However, if and only if it is connected to my home router, a D-link DIR-836L, internet dependent apps perform horribly. That is, except for the built-in browser, Chrome browser, and pinging web servers via a terminal emulator. I know this may be a terrible question... Any thoughts?

Android extremely slow when USB Debugging

Whenever my android device is plugged into my computer with USB Debugging enabled, it (the entire device: all apps, etc.) becomes extremely slow. I need USB Debugging enabled to install and debug apps that I'm developing, but the slowness makes those apps almost unusable. When USB Debugging is disabled, everything functions smoothly. I'm running Android KitKat (Slimrom) on my Motorola Atrix HD.


Is there a way to turn off translation in Google Play

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?

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

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.


Nonstop push notifications on recently updated Samsung Galaxy S3

My phone received and installed an OTA update this weekend, to Android version 4.3 Now everytime my phone connects to the internet or I go to use the internet, I get this large list of push notifications, of email attachments from my Microsoft Exchange email account, that have never even been downloaded. I checked the options in the exchange options, and the option to download attachments when connected to wi-fi isn't checked (i've also checked and unchecked it). I also turned off the email notifications for the account, but still get the notifications of the downloaded attachments (even though they are not actually downloading, because you can't even open them). ![Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/LdEjv.jpg)   Screenshot (click to enlarge)


Install WinXP/7/8 on Android Device

I know that it's possible to install WinXP or other Windows versions to an Android device, but I don't know how. I tried BOCHS but it doesn't work on my Xperia Z1 or I don't know how to set it up correctly. Is there some complete tutorial or something? **Remark:** I don't want to _replace_ Android on the device. I want to run Windows "on top of it" (e.g. in a VM).


Insufficient Storage Available

I have a Nexus 4. Whenever I try to install _any_ app, no matter how small, it says "Insufficient Storage Available". I have aggressively deleted photos, uninstalled apps, cleared the app cache, and now I have 315 MB free (according to Settings > Storage). But it _still_ says "Insufficient Storage Available" when installing from the Play store. (For _any_ app; I have tried with dozens.) _I cannot even install the apps that I removed two minutes before._ (WTF?) I have restarted several times. What can I do to fix this erroneous error? (Note: I don't have any SD card.)

Wi-Fi in Android JellyBean

I am using Android Jellybean source code.and the Wi-Fi is connecting properly with the interface name wlan0.I wanted to make it mlan0 and made changes in init.rc file as set.prop wifi.interface mlan0 and some other changes in the services for mlan0. When I tried to connect the error Unable to open supplicant on data/system/wpa_supplicant/mlan0 :NO such file or directory is appearing I checked the sockets formed under the data/system/wpa_supplicant it is wlan0. How should I change the socket name from wlan0 to mlan0.? Can anybody help me to solve this issue.?

Deleted some apk files - but the apps are still there after reboot

This seems really weird to me. I followed the instructions given here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835861 and deleted the apk files of some stock applications like Layar. I also removed the odex files if I could find them. Strangely, even after wiping the cache and a reboot, I can still run the apps from my launcher. Samsung Galaxy S with CWM 3.2


Why is custom recovery a prerequisite for flashing a custom ROM?

I have read in many guides that before flashing, we need to have a custom recovery like CWM installed. I am not able to understand why is this a prerequisite for flashing a custom ROM. Can I flash a ROM without custom recovery?


Boot hangs after firmware update

I flashed my Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830) with the Cyanogenmod 7.2 release, the install went fine without any errors. Powering the phone on shows a black screen with the word "ANDROID" in white, and it stays there. I left it alone for up to 30 minutes to humor the "may take up to 5 minutes" caveat. 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!_


How To Disable htcCheckinService?

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

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.


How do I make OpenVPN Connect honour the keepalive setting?

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._

Does the bootloader need to be unlocked to flash my phone

I am not able to relate between bootloader unlocking and flashing. From what I understand, when I flash my phone with a custom ROM, it writes to the /boot partition and hence the bootloader has to be unlocked. Is my understanding correct, or can I flash a ROM without unlocked bootloader?


Heyzap interstitial ads in every app

I noticed when I start an app, often an Heyzap interstitial ad appears (I had the Heyzap app but removed it 2 days ago). Today I ran my own app that I've compiled from the Android SDK that definitely does not have any Heyzap code, but still, the banner appeared. I think the problem arrived after installing "Lost Temple Jump" game from Google Play. It was asking for permission to push notifications. I said No. My device is not rooted, is it possible that these games root my device and started to insert Heyzap banner to every other app ? * * * ## Screenshots: ![Google Play with malware

Signature verification failed when flashing custom kernel (Siyah)

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?


Applications restore or install from external sd card

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.


Built-in storage not detected

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.


My contacts are linked to Google+ multiple times

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


Exchange Services and Android OS/System draining battery

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...


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

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.


how to reset the PGW connection

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?
