How can I hide some contacts from dialer?

I am playing around with my brand new Motorola Defy and trying to find a way to manage my contacts. Of course it synced every contact in my Google account... I want to hide some of them, you know, those people you don't contact often but whose coordinates you want to keep in case you ever need to. I haven't had any luck so far. I have 3 apps on my phone that deal with contacts :   * one called Contacts that is just for managing contacts (no tabs like dial or favorites) -- you can call someone after selecting them, then selecting the phone number, then call -- in there I can select groups I want to hide but too many clicks to call someone   * the dialer (my phone is in French so it's called "Appeler" = Call) with tabs : call, recent, contacts, favorites -- works as I'd want to but display all contacts with a phone number, and I haven't find a way to hide some groups (and it does display "visibility: hidden" when you select the contact)   * Go contacts, that I installed in hope it would be everything I wanted, but I can't hide groups, as when I try remove a group from the app it deletes it from Google I don't know if the 2 apps that came bundled with my phone (contacts and dialer) are stock Android or Motorola. BTW, I skipped the configuration of Motoblur so no Motoblur account or anything like that. And it's running Froyo (already installed when I got it). Does anyone have a solution for me ?

Android doesn't say it's Ericsson, hard restart does nothing

I bought a Sony Ericsson X8 and saw on YouTube that when we turn on this phone a page is supposed to come up and mention the name of Sony Ericsson. When I turn on my phone just it says Android and that's all. When I wanted to hard restart it or upgrade it, I pressed the back button but nothing happens. When I hold left and right keys together, the same situation when I release. Is my phone a fake? Why it is like that?


Best tool for benchmarking roms/kernels/wifi/3g

I want to do a comparison of different types of configurations of roms kernels etc. What are the best tools that I can use to do this. I know this cannot be done with one tool, seperate is fine. The Tools that I am using now are as follow: Rom/kernel: Quadrant Standard Edition, Linpack for Android wifi: wifi-analizer wifi/3g: speetest.net app But are these tools good to do benchmarking, or are there other tools that do a better job. I heard that some of the rom/kernels produce fake results for these tools.


What is a widget?

What distinguishes a widget from an app or a shortcut? I can understand the concept of an app, as something that runs on Android to provide a particular use or function. I can also understand the concept of a shortcut, to provide a way of accessing an app. Is a widget a special type of app or a special type of shortcut or is it characterised in a way that is distinct from both an app and a shortcut?

Why can I tether to Ubuntu for free but not Windows?

I have a Motorola Droid 1 with Android 2.2 on it. I found something odd that I don't understand why it works. If I plug my phone into my home computer which is Windows 7 and I turn on the tethering ability, I am met with a Verizon captive portal and it tells me I need to pay for a tethering plan (which I don't have). Now the weird thing, if I plug the same phone into my Ubuntu 10.10 laptop and enable tethering it works and can get on the internet with no captive portal showing up. The only thing I could notice that was different about the connections was Windows connected to the phone with an NDIS driver and Linux connected to the phone with what I think is a raw device mapping. Would that have anything to do with it?

Intex Router Sign into wifi network error on LAN

I'm a Broadband user and running 7-10 computers with same connection. My BSNL Modem is directly connected into LAN thus I don't have to Connect every time via dialing while accessing internet. Now I'm trying to access the same Internet Connection through my Android Phone(Samsung Galaxy S2) after connecting a wifi router into 2nd LAN switch(I have 2 LAN switces connected to each other). The problem that's occuring is when the Router is connected to the LAN/switch, sometimes the internet works properly in both my Android Phone as wel as in my computers. But after sometime automatically or as soon as I shut down any of computer the message "Sign into wifi network" starts appearing in my phone and internet stops working in Phone even. PC's IP is 192.168.1.1 and Router IP is 192.168.0.1 ... The Connection is done in following Manner BSNL Modem is connected to 1st LAN Switch/Hub through which internet connection is going to other computers and another i.e. 2nd LAN Switch/Hub(for connecting internet to remaining computers) and then the Router is connected to the 2nd LAN. I explained the problem to my best. I hope you got it. Please help me out ASAP. Thanks in advance. Regards Vishal

Enabling Flash Player to run in the background

On all the Android devices I've ever had, I've never seen one that could actually allow flash music streaming or YouTube to run in the background on a minimized window. For example, if you are on a music streaming website, as long as that web page is in the foreground the audio will play. However, if you need to minimize that window and open another tab, for example, the flash stream stops. It's the exact same way for YouTube; as long as the video is open in the foreground window the music will play. Is there any way to put those in background, but have their sound continue to play?

What is meant by System Memory in android?

I have an LG -E405 phone running Android 2.3.6. As can be seen here, the phone has 1GB internal memory and 384Mb RAM. When I look at default `App manager`, this is what I get,   * RAM - 231Mb   * System Memory - 157 Mb.   * Internal Memory - 378Mb.   * SD Card - 2Gb. Also, all the applications I install, by default take up space from `System memory`. Many tutorials explain about moving apps from internal memory to SD Card to free up space. But, in my phone I only get the option to move from System Memory to Internal Memory. It is like a whole new layer has been added in the memory heirarchy. So, what is this `System Memory`.

Re-installing Android

Mobile phone technology has been growing rapidly. Nowadays, we have mobile phones with the same configuration as a Pentium-1,Pentium-2 processor + 1 GB Ram 20GB Hard disk as we had a few years ago for Desktops. For eg: I have just ordered for Galaxy S-III, which as 1 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM and 16 GB Permanent storage. So, my question is : can we format (same thing as we do on a Desktop) such mobile devices and install whatever OS (Android only for now) we like ? If so, I would like to install latest Android version on my mobile. Similar to the CD-Rom drive that can hold the OS that we are going to install on our fresh Desktop, for mobile devices can't we use any USB storage drives that has the latest Android (installation source) ?

How can I keep an old device up-to-date?

I've got an old HTC Wildfire S from 2012 and it stopped updating a year ago at least. It's now currently stucked on 2.3.5 (probably because HTC decided it that way). When I look for updates, it tells me the software is up to date (yeah, like I belive you). I have a new SmartPhone now and I'd like to use that old one for testing purpose. One of the tests I want to perform is force-updating it to the newest version of Android. How do I do that? What and where should I start looking for? I also want to try rooting it (which I never did) so if the phone needs to be rooted in order to force-update it, that's not a problem.

Upgrade Samsung Galaxy Tab to Android 2.3.3

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  When will my phone get the Android 2.3 update (Gingerbread)?   >  How do I update the OS on my device? I live in Uruguay and I've recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab. The device's system is Android 2.2 and I want to upgrade it to 2.3.3 so I can deploy an app I've been working on, that won't run on previous versions of Android. I've read on the internet that it's possible to upgrade the device by doing it through Samsung Kies or on the device settings.

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Where can I find stock or custom ROMs for my Android device? My requirements:   * Wifi hotspot needs to work properly since it often provides Internet access for my tablet.   * I connect to several Blutetooth devices they should work too. (Speaker, Car, send files to other phones)   * If possible i'd like the most recent Android version, as vanilla as possible.   * I want an easy, scheduled backup solution I really don't need the whole HTC Sense thingie. I am prepared to lose all data stored on my phone. I am a bit of a newbie concerning custom roms, so maybe there is a proper tutorial on how to proceed with getting root, etc. My Phone is currently on Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.0, Build Version 3.12.405.1 CL199157 release-keys (latest stock firmware i guess) and i do not have root.


Is it possible to upgrade an Orange Cool Tablet? (Android 2.3 Cortex A8)

Someone gave to me an Orange Cool Android 2.3 Tablet (it's a Brazilian brand, Model tb7800), complaining about slowness and hang ups. _I did some research with the aim of flashing a better ROM, however this model is not well-known and I'm kind of lost among all the different ROMs and architectures, so I would appreciate if someone could just point me in the right direction..._ **First of all** : is there any better ROM compatible with this device? These are the details reported by CPU-Z:               Model: OR-TB7800 (rk29sdk)     Display: eng.koffu.20111209.175.607, 800x480      Android: 2.3.1,      Kernel architecture armv7l, version 2.6.32.27      CPU: ARM Cortex A8, 1 core, rev. r3p2, 408Mhz-1Ghz      GPU: Vendor= Vivante Corp, Renderer=GC800 core.      Total RAM: 271 MB Internal, Storage: 1GB      **Second** : if the answer is yes, I would appreciate some hints with regards to the recommended ROM and flash procedure (just some hints, I'll do my homework and continue from there, I promise!). On the contrary, if the answer to the above is no, is there anything that you would recommend me besides rooting the device to uninstall some bloatware (Facebook, etc.). The IPS display seems good and the tablet is as new, it would be a shame if I can't find some good use for it... Thanks in advance for the help,


HTC Tilt 2 -- possible to get Android on it?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Can I install Android on my non-Android device? One of my friends recently got an HTC Touch Pro 2(US Cellular) and I really like it. It has Windows Mobile on it, but somehow he downloaded a special program to his SD card so that he runs some Windows program and it will boot Android. To get back to factory settings, he just has to turn the phone off and on. I looked for a similar phone for my carrier(AT&T) and the closest thing to it is the HTC Tilt 2. I'm aware of some of the changes including different keyboard and no 3.5mm jack. Is it crippled in anyway which would prevent me from doing the same thing my friend did though? Also would it void the warranty or anything like that? Also, one last question. When running Android like that do you have "root" capabilities? Like can I install unofficial applications and/or get to a root terminal?

Any recommendations regarding flashing a particular rom on a Nexus One?

I was wondering and hoping that someone might point me in the direction of a nice and stable rom for a Nexus One. Currently I'm running the Rodriguezstyle v2.42 which is pretty stable but I just don't like the iPhoneiness of it too much. And it came bundled with too much stuff that I don't need. Prior to this one I've had the Cyanogenmod 6.1.1-N1 which I had to remove because I could not get the Market application to run for the life of me. So, what I'm looking for (ordered by most important first)   * robustness/reliability   * speed/performance   * no bloatware - less is more :)   * the sense ui (not required but i'd like it if available)

How to force update android

I have an android tablet and it's an older version of jellybean and certain apps aren't compatible anymore. I've heard that Kit-Kat is fully compatible with all. I tried to figure out how to update and I discovered from the internet that I go to settings and then update. When I go there it says I have the newest version. I read that some versions of android are modified and distributed from your manufacturer from the factory when you buy your device, so I contacted the manufacturer and asked them how to update it and they said "it's a Jelly Bean tablet". Now it seems to me that that is a bunch of baloney and I should be able to put any type of android on my tablet that I want to, not just the version they want me to have. How can I force update my android?

Alternative of CyanogenMod-5 but Android 2.1 for HTC Dream G1

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Where can I find stock or custom ROMs for my Android device? I am currently using Cyanogenmod-5 (Android 2.1) for my HTC Dream G1. But it runs quite slow and I dont want to go back to Android 1.x series. I am looking for some other Android 2.1 OS (other than Cyanogenmod) which are faster and have low memory requirements or does it remain the same among all Android 2.1 distributions? Another reason for change is that every 1 or 2 months, Cyanogenmod-5 starts behaving funny and I need to re-install my OS. For example, currently I am unable to read any texts (Messaging service - SMS) on my phone; application keeps on crashing. In the past similar issues were with Gmail and GTalk. So, I want to switch to something other than Cyanogenmod but Android-2.1. Any suggestions?

Can I install the latest Android version even if my manufacturer doesn't release updates?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  How do I update the OS on my device? These days android tablets are hitting the sweet spot and I'm considering buying one. This is the tablet that I'm looking to buy:   Karbonn launches Smart Tab 3 Blade, Smart Tab 9 Marvel with Android 4.0 However I'm not sure if the manufacturer will release periodic updates to the firmware. Is it possible to install the latest version of Android myself, just like I'd install Linux or Windows on my laptop?   The manufacturer isn't the biggest, so I reckon that there won't be many people having these unlike the nexus devices. What are the procedures involved in this? Please excuse me if a similar topic has been addressed before.


Flash a smartphone with vanilla Android ROM

Is it possible to flash a smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy SIII or an LG Optimus 4X with a vanilla Android ROM like the one that has been flashed on Galaxy Nexus or Motorola phones (I think)? I am asking because manufacturers like Samsung, LG, HTC tend to make ROMs for their smartphones and tablets with preinstalled launchers like Touchwiz or HTC Sense. They explain their decision by saying that they want to make their devices to look unique against their rival devices. The problem is that Android updates for their phones and tablets get delayed and there are incidents in which some devices - which are more than capable of running the upcoming version of Android - fall way behind or never get updated at all. So, what I am basically asking here is if there is a way to install vanilla Android, excluding CyanogenMod or any other modified vanilla ROMs, on an Android based smartphone?


Any ideas on when 4.2 will be available for my phone?

I have a Motorola Electrify M 4G through US Cellular and I received the 4.1 Jelly Bean update OTA nearly a month ago and I'm a bit eager to get the 4.2 version but I can't find anything online about a release date for my phone. I know 4.2 has been out for a while now and there's even people talking about getting the OTA update to 4.2.2 and even speculation on a release date for 5.0, Key Lime Pie. With each upgrade, I need fewer and fewer apps to make my phone work just right for me. From a built in task manager in ICS to notification widgets in the latest JB. Anyway, I'm eager to get this update! Thanks!

How to make an Android update for your own device?

I have this devices which the android version is 4.2. After read some articles about Kitkat, I'm really excited and want to try to experience it on my phone. However, it seems the manufacturer won't update it to Kitkat in the future. So I think I'll do it my own. I understand and accept the risks. So, what should I do now? I read some articles about this but can't make a check list of things to do. Will it be a build from the scratch or I can re- use the old kernel? How can I extract the old driver? If someone can provide me a guide or a check list, it will help me so much! Any idea will be appreciated!

How do I update an old Samsung Vibrant's OS to something higher than 2.1?

I have an oldish Samsung Vibrant. I used to be on T-Mobile and it was supposed to OTA-update its OS from 2.1 to 2.2, but it never did. Anyway, I subsequently got a new phone and didn't use the old Vibrant. But now I'd like to start using it again. I don't have any carrier service; I'm just using it with WiFi. And having the old operating system is quite bad; in particular, the "Market" app simply doesn't work, and it seems impossible to get Google Play instead. Is there something I can do to upgrade the operating system? Ideally, a way that will keep my data, contacts, etc. This Samsung website -- http://androidadvices.com/how-to-update-samsung-vibrant-to-2-2-froyo-with- kies-mini/#.Uy86bvldUrU \-- has some instructions, but it seems from the comments on the page that it has worked out poorly for people. Thanks!

Custom ROM on Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro (MK16i)

I do really hate the system that Sony Ericsson has placed on the top of Android and I would like to have ICS (but no problem if not possible or recommendable). I have tried googling and looking around for a couple of days to find how and what custom ROM I could install on my telephone, but I have had no luck in this venture. Does anybody here know about a custom ROM I could install on my telephone? Preferably as clean as possible or similar to HTCs system and ICS if possible and usable.


When will my device get the Android 4.3 update (Jelly Bean)?

Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) was officially announced on July 24, 2013. (You can review the high level changes in Jelly Bean at the official Android Developer's site or the announcement on the official Android blog.) Of course, not all devices will get this update right away and others won't get it at all. Each manufacturer and carrier often choose to add their custom modifications which tend to delay the official release. **When will each device get Android 4.3, either officially or unofficially, if ever?** See also:   * When will my device get the Android 4.1 update (Jelly Bean)?   * When will my device get the Android 4.2 update (Jelly Bean)?   * When will my device get the Android 4.4 update (KitKat)?
