Samsung S3 Mini power save mode activity

I'd like to use power saving feature available in Samsung's TouchWiz in Llama but the only way to do this is to tell Llama particular activity/intent to run I guess. As in this thread on XDA. I'm wondering if you know how to execute this action so I can control power saving from Llama.

Nexus 4 notification light

I have had a new screen put on my nexus 4 but now the LED's don't show up different colours, what you see is all the LED lighting up so you can see the red blue green etc all together. The shop doesn't seem to know why but my thinking is that there might be some sort of cover that is meant to diffuse the light through the glass. Question is does anyone know anything about this as the shop has ordered 2 different screens, same problem and unfortunately they threw the old one away!!


Is there a way to create virtual memory?

I deleted S.Planner data and now need to recover it

I foolishly deleted all my S.Planner data while deleting bloatware's usage data. I use a Samsung GT-7570. I never synced the software before, nor I connected it to my Google account so I need to try to get back the files that have been deleted with a data recovery software. Someone knows the folder structure of S.Planner and knows what I should be looking for? Is the data stored in a single file? Is the data stored in the telephone's storage or in the SD card storage? Does anyone know of any routine backup that the software may have implemented out of my knowledge? * * * This accident already made me realize how foolish I was not to have a backup (actually I had it in my calendar to make a proper backup plan as soon as I had a while to do it.. ). (I'm also amazed how incredible it is I could delete that data in such a way as in "isn't that data protected ANYHOW?" but that's not the point here)

IP address on XBL Blacklist (Out going server response)

I'm posting on behalf of someone :- They have an HTC Desire, and they periodically get the following message when attempting to send out emails: > Warning - Your outgoing server response: 550-Your IP address is on the XBL > blacklist! Sending denied. The phone provides an IP address, which indeed is blacklisted. http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=82.132.243.28 This IP resolves to "unknown" somewhere in Germany. We are situated in the UK, as is our email provider. I have checked with our provider, and the IP of our mail server is not blacklisted (and does not match the one the phone says). I should add, I am able to send email perfectly well on my iPhone, using (presumably) the same settings. Our computers are unaffected - it is just the HTC. Does anyone have any advice, or experienced something similar? I'm reluctant to de-list the IP as I imagine the problem will keep occurring. Thanks for any insight.


Connect Android device as wifi adapter to a PC to create an ad-hoc network

Sometimes when being at a friends house there is no wifi but wired internet access. In these cases it would be extremely useful if I could plug my phone in and create a wifi network just like when providing a wifi hotspot except that this time not the carriers data plan is used but the already available network access on the "host-PC". Does anyone know if and how this is possible?

Contacts not linked to Google+

On my AT&T Moto X I use google to sync my contacts. I try to only use google's contacts as well because that is my definitive source for my contacts. For some reason some of my contacts on my phone don't show as linked to Google+, but when I look at their information in Gmail, it is linked. If I try to add them manually on my phone I get a screen with the email address to pick to link and they are not visible until I push down which I find extremely weird. Then once I click the correct email address I get 'Server Problem. Try again later'. I've tried over multiple days. On 4g, off 4g. On Wifi. Off Wifi. Etc. Moto X Android 4.4.2

Factory Reset Android Developer Phone without password

I used to have an Android developer phone (an ancient HTC Innovation) that I recently gave to a friend. Now we're trying to unlock it so he can use it. We put in the unlock password too many times, so now the phone is asking us for my Google password, even if we turn the phone on and off again. Unfortunately, the phone doesn't have Internet access and I changed my Google account password since the last time I used the phone, so I have no idea what password to put in to unlock it. How can we unlock or factory reset the phone so my friend can use it?

How to repair HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio touch screen?

I have bought a HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio and I am told apparently water got inside and cant be turn on. However when i disassemble it, saw nothing, any oxidation residue. After some normal cleaning, I assembled the phone and tried to test it, it turns ON but unfortunately the screen does not work. Now I don't know what to do and changing the screen is expensive. Is there any way to make this sort of problem out?


How can I determine what is causing my Nexus 4 to freeze?

I have a new-ish Nexus 4 with Cataclysm ROM installed (rooted, 4.3). The device has recently started freezing - being unresponsive to button presses, but with the white LED pulsing. I have to long-press the power button and then press it again to restart. It used to freeze occasionally - say, once a week - but over the past week or two it has started to freeze every day or at least every other day. I cannot think of a recently-installed application or setting change that might have triggered this. I'm wondering if there's a way for me to determine 'when' the device freezes and 'what' it is that's causing it to freeze, ideally so I can determine whether or not it is the ROM or the device at fault. Is there an application that can log device behaviour and be read by a semi-technical user like me?


Updating Android on a Rooted Tablet

I have an Android tablet that I rooted to attempt to install a different OS. After I failed and restored my tablet to a backup that I had made earlier (it's still rooted), I tried to update Android. It checked for updates, and promptly displayed a box that said "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." Is there any way that I can update my tablet while it's rooted?

Sorting the contact by VCard's categories

My contacts are currently stored on a CardDav server (more specifically, an OwnCloud instance) and I am using DAVDroid to do the synchronization. The problem I have is that I want to be the VCard categories to be used to sort and filter my contacts, a little like the groups of the default contact app, and the default Contacts apps does not seems to allow that. Also, moving my contacts to gmail storing to use the group feature instead is not really an option. Regards

Why doesn't Android report accurate Netflix data usage?

I played ~2h of Netflix on my Nexus 5, on T-Mobile's LTE network early this morning. I had switched off WiFi. After doing so, the data usage screen looks like this (scaled down): ![Netflix data usage](http://i.stack.imgur.com/9aUYz.jpg)   Netflix data usage (click for larger image) Note that the phone reports 2.85GB of data used, with the top user being Netflix at 22.2MB. That's different by two orders of magnitude; and nothing else on the list comes close to making up the difference. T-Mobile gives a different number still (~1.3GB). The screen notes that may differ. But it confirms that the data did indeed go over T-Mobile. Why is Android under-reporting the data used by Netflix by two orders of magnitude? Is there some way to get accurate data usage stats (I'm rooted, so root-only solutions are OK). edit: Checking `/proc/net/xt_qtaguid/stats` shows Android is reporting on rmnet0 while reality is on clat4. Not really a solution as that file reports since boot only, not a particular time range.


Unable to turn off auto-correction on HTC one

I just received a HTC one. I cannot turn off the autocorrect for 'Word Prediction' (under prediction preference) in the > HTC Sense Input Setting > Advanced section.

Battery Status Indicator Error?

Okay so I have a very interesting story to tell.... Here is what happens... I charge my phone at night, wake up in the morning, pull it off the charger, about 9-10pm it drops to about 15%, which isn't bad compared to another UN-named phone I use to use, but here is where things get interesting: It will sit at 15% for 2-3 hours without losing a single percent, so I thought why not reboot my phone, and what happened shocked me... I expected it to suddenly be at 1-5% after reboot, but it wasn't, tonight it was at 33%... yes you read it right, it went from 15% to 33% after a reboot. This isn't really a big issue, but I just wanted to know is this normal behavior, a software bug? or is my battery possessed by some weird battery demon? Anyways has anyone ever experienced this or know of any way to possibly make the indicator more accurate? Any suggestion would be helpful, oh and I have tried letting it run all the way down then charging it completely back up to 100% and this seems to have no effect... It is Android 4.1.2

On-demand WiFi during sleep

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Turning on Wi-Fi on demand I can only find 3 options under `Settings->Wi-Fi->Advanced->Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep`:   * Always ((the default value))   * Only when plugged in   * Never (increases data usage) I feel like there's missing a 4th option, "On-demand". I want it to use Wi-Fi when needed (if possible), but I don't necessarily want Wi-Fi enabled all the time. It feels like my battery life suffer when running with the "Always" option.

Show which program / task uses the camera (in background)

On my Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 with CM11, I always hear a very subtle click of the autofocus whenever the camera app is loaded. Since some weeks, I heard that sound randomly, especially after every restart and reconnect with WiFi. This somehow scares me and looks a bit like my phone is supervised. Is there a possibility on android (with / without root access) to find out which task uses the camera?


What is this CJK app and why is it on my phone?

I was going through my apps and discovered this: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/aELNmm.png) Um, what? Unfortunately, I'm not fluent in the language that the app is titled with (Chinese, I'm guessing?), so I have no idea what it is or where it came from. Any ideas? I tend to be careful with what I download (no third-party markets) so I would be surprised if it was malware, but that being said it still looks mighty suspicious to me. It's a Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.3 if that's relevant.

Android google play no connection error

About a month ago my application updates ate all of the memory of my phone (samsung galaxy young), so I decided to uninstall, or disable and downgrade applications. I did this to google play as well. Now I need to install an application so I need google play. I enabled it, but it writes a "no connection / retry" message.   * I restarted the phone many times, it did not help.   * I installed the google+ application, which can log in to my account successfully, so I think there is no problem with the credentials.   * One of the applications wrote me, that I have to update google play, but clicking on that link lead to the same no connection message. It has currently the version 4.1.10 (I guess I purged all the updates when I disabled it).   * I cleared the data and the cache of google play.   * I checked the date & time settings, they are okay.   * There is no Freedom application on the phone.   * There is only `127.0.0.1 localhost` in the hosts file, nothing else.   * I did not travel, I live in the EU, and try to access to the service from home.   * I installed the google play 4.8.20 from here, and google play services 4.4.48 from here but there is no change. I read about how to fix this error, but nothing worked for me so far, and I am sure I won't factory reset my phone... Any suggestions?

Android apps keep crashing with android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDiskIOException

Starting yesterday, my Galaxy s2 device running Cyanogenmod 9 started to crash with android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDiskIOException exception for every running app. Does it means that my phone is dead or I can fix it?

What is the purpose of the 3rd on-screen button on a button-less phone?

I haven't used Ice Cream Sandwich yet and as far as I know, some phones (Google Nexus perhaps) don't have capacitive or hard buttons. Now as you can see below, there's 4 buttons (this was an image I found while googling). ![Android 4.0 navigation bar](http://i.stack.imgur.com/p7VpE.png) As far as I know, the buttons are (starting from the left):   * Back button   * Home button   * ???   * Menu button I want to know what the third one is? The one that has overlapping rectangles? My phone has capacitive and I have all the above aside from that one button. I asked this just out of curiosity.

Recover data from bootlooped phone

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Plus (GT-I9003) that is stuck in a boot loop. It is running the stock Samsung firmware (Android 2.3.5). I want to recover the data (specifically of the Memo application) from the device. I can boot into recovery mode and then connect via `adb shell`, but I'm not allowed to read `/data`:               $ ls -l /     (...)     drwxrwx--x root     root              1970-01-01 00:00 data     $ id     uid=2000(shell) gid=2000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1009(mount),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet)     $ su     su: permission denied      How can I backup `/data` from this phone?


Unpack initramfs.cpio.gz (boot.img) from MTK6589 phone?

Is there another specific tool to unpack Android 4.2.x boot.img, or MTK- specific tool maybe?


birthday duplicates after removing google account and adding it again

After removing my Google-Account on my HTC One S and adding it again, i recognized that all birthdays stored with contacts are in my calendar twice. When i change birthday at some contact, there is only one, which changes. The information is not from another calendar like Facebook or Google. After removing my account once and adding it, i had two birthdays for each contact, only one changes. After removing my account another time and adding it, i had three birthdays for each conatct and only one changes. So why this happens or how can i delete or avoid this? I would like the delete either automically or manually (prefering automatically) but i found no solution to do this. I made a screenshot to make it clearer. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/n0m3y.png)

Pop Ups in Browser - Possible Viruses?

Since moving to Japan, the chrome web browser on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3) has been acting strangely. Sometimes it will happen when I switch to a new article on a news mobile website, or even if I click a link on facebook. What happens is that a popup comes up that takes up the whole screen that claims my phone has a virus and I should download something to get rid of it. I'm not an idiot, so I never click those popups and close the page immediately. My question is that I'm wondering if I may already have a virus on my phone, and that's why I'm getting these pop ups all of the sudden. Is there a good way to check for viruses on phones? Thanks for your help.


Shaky, drifting compass an inevitability on Samsung Nexus S?

I bought a Nexus S off eBay and found that the compass direction wanders even with the device laying still. Likewise, the display in Google Sky shakes around even with the resting on a stable surface, and it often doesn't align correctly with the stars. SkEye reports "Warning: Strange Magnetic field!". Calibrating using Advanced tools doesn't fix the problem. I'm running ICS 4.0.3. Doing some searching, I've found mention of other problems of the sort with the Nexus S. It's not clear whether these are just anecdotes suggesting that I have unit with a defect. Or perhaps there is a hardware or software design flaw and nothing wrong with this particular unit. Where does one look to determine if there is a pervasive problem with a given model and OS version? Anyone know specifically for Nexus S and ICS 4.0.3?

Create a Gmail address for a Google account but use another email as the login

I want to add a Gmail address to my account (that I will not use) but I don't want that address to be my main address (i.e. my login) for Google, because I already use me@example.com everywhere. I don't have Gmail, but do have a Google account on a personal mail address (me@example.com) where I read emails from. When I got an Android phone, I tried to add my Google account, it keeps asking me to create a Gmail address. Without that account, I basically can't do anything with it. As the Gmail creation form tells me that the Gmail address will become the main address, I'd like to know if/how it's possible to set me@example.com the main address afterwards. Or, if you know a way to use my Android with my Google Account without Gmail.

Use Transformer Prime instead of virtual emulator

I am thinking about buying the Asus Transformer Prime, to start developing on android. Currently I am borrowing a Motorola Xoom to develop, and that has a Micro USB port, that I can plug into, and use it to debug my apps. From what I can tell the Asus Transformer Prime does not have such a port. Can I even use this as my debugging device, or would I be making a $500 mistake?

Help! Xiaomi Hongmi S1 Recovery

My Xiaomi Hongmi S1 couldn't pass the boot phase after me trying to install Xposed. Then, the software Mi Phone Manager tried to recover the system files with the phone in fastboot (in this phase I still could enter fastboot and recovery) - somewhere along this process I had to leave and, when I came back, I had an error message in the software and the phone was turned off. After this I could not turn the phone on anymore, not even into fastboot or recovery. MiFlash detects the phone even like this, but is unable to flash things into it. PLEASE, HELP ME!

Display Shuts Off During Calls

Hate to post this - however, I searched all other posts related to this and have not found a solution or the exact same problem so here it goes. Phone: Samsung Galaxy SII X Android: 4.0.4 This is so bloody annoying. During any call whether on speaker or using the phone in the traditional manner, the screen shuts off after a minute or so, even though my display is set to shut off after 5 minutes of inactivity. I have taken the following actions to no avail:   * my screen protector does not cover the proximity sensor;   * the proximity sensor is clean;   * I have disabled proximity sensor (phone>call settings>turn on proximity sensor);   * I have disabled automatic brightness (settings>display>brightness); and   * set the Bluetooth visible time-out setting to "never time-out" (settings>bluetooth>settings>visible time-out) All of the above have been suggested within this and/or other forums. However, none of these solutions corrected this most annoying problem. Some have suggested that the phone is the issue - however, I suspect that there may be a software issue and that a patch or fix may be available and would hate to have to exchange phones yet again. Any and all suggestions would be most welcome.

How do I turn off the cascade of tones that happens every time I end a call?

I have a Galaxy S phone, and every time a call ends it plays a cascading series of 4 tones. Regardless of how my phone's ringtone volume is set - e.g. even if I have it on silent mode - these tones play. It's especially annoying when I'm wearing my headset, which seals against my ear, making these tones much louder than the call was. I have to jerk my headset away from my ear unless I want to endure it, and I don't like to complain, but it's f-ing LOUD. Is there any way that I can disable this end of call sound? It doesn't matter which headset I use; this is a function of the phone itself. Can't find anything in the manual about it, either.

Can GSM operator affect battery life?

I am using samsumg galaxy s3 mini. Couple of days ago, I changed the GSM operator I am using which has more signal strength and internet speed than old one. But I realized my phone's battery life decreased. With old GSM it was about 1.5-2 day. Now It takes about 1 day. When I look battery usage, It seems 'android OS' is most battery consumer. Is this about GSM operator, or it is just a coincidence that my battery life decrease after I change GSM operator?


HTC One - keeps shutting down when rooting

Im rooting my phone (HTC One Alps) via Kingo Android Root. When i connect my phone to the computer and start rooting then phone shutdown itself. Is there any partition or disk problem?


What is "Easy mode" (during initial phone setup) and are there any problems with it?

I just got a new Samsung Galaxy Core Duos running Android 4.1.2, and put a new sim card in it. The phone has taken me through some initial set up screens for a Samsung account, Gmail account, and name, and is now asking whether I want to enable "Easy mode", for which it says "Easy mode helps you to use your device more easily with the easy widgets feature and the ability to customise the font size." Does anyone know more detail on the difference it makes?


Finding the true URL of a Web radio stream

(I was originally going to ask how to do this with my computer, and then I realised I can't be leaving my speakers on all night, and apparently, they can't be controlled by the computer. http://superuser.com/questions/529058/letting-my-windows-8-pc-turn-screen-and- speakers-on-off) I do have a radio alarm clock, but in my apartment, for some reason, radio waves have a lot of trouble reaching me. It's hard to get the radio to work, and even when it does work, there's a lot of noise. And sometimes stations randomly pile themselves up and sound weird. So I would like my phone to do the job. But I can't get it to work. I tried TuneIn Radio (which is the only app I found to be able to play my radio station), but for some reason, nothing happens at the time I program on it. Probably a buggy function. I also tried AlarmDroid, which would have worked fine if I were able to **get my hands on the real streaming URL of the radio station**. But I haven't. And this is where the real problem is The station I listen to is streamed on that page: http://saguenay.radionrj.ca/player.aspx However, that obviously isn't the streaming URL. To find that URL, I tried URL Snooper, as well as literally asking the radio station (who refused, probably because this would allow to skip the ads - which remains strange, because they most likely did give it to TuneIn Radio, since it plays their station fine without any issue) So! If you have some time on your hands and better technical abilities than I, and could somehow find this URL so I can try it in AlarmDroid, that would be great. Or explain me how I could get the said URL, of course. Or some other way to get that radio station to wake me up in the morning. Like another app, or a sort of schedule to force the phone to activate Wi-Fi and then launch TuneIn Radio to play the station. Or something. But mainly, I'd like to get the URL. More simple, and besides, this isn't an Android forum. Oh uhm. Automatically turning Wi-Fi on is important. But if I manage to get the URL, no issue, because the app has that built-in. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Having people speak in the morning is a great help in waking up faster. Else my brain refuses to turn on. Oh, yeah. Details about my phone, even though I doubt it's really useful:   * Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread)   * Samsung Galaxy Q (SGH-T589W). FYI it's (almost?) the same as the Samsung Gravity Smart.   * Not rooted. I'd actually like to root it, but I was unable to. xD * * * I know this website is not really about smartphones, but I asked this here anyway because 1. I can't seem to get help elsewhere and 2. I may have put a lot of information, and may be open to an Android app suggestion or something, but mostly, the core of the problem, and the most likely solution, is to get my hands on the proper streaming URL, which isn't directly Android-related. A similar problem might be encountered on a PC, and the solution most likely doesn't require knowing anything of my phone.

does anybody know how to download the officially released rom from Samsung? I can't see it in the web site and kies does not donwload anything, currently I am using the 2.3.4 updated a while ago. I have the phone in Switzerland (Zurich) and my Phone operator is Sunrise. Thanks!


Stop automaticaly switching to 3g if wi-fi drops

I have an android 2.2 phone. The other day, I was using a wi-fi connection on my phone and had it tethered to my laptop. For whatever reason, the wi-fi connection dropped and my phone starting using my phones 3g connection to continue the internet connection tethered to my laptop... Is it possible to stop this from happening? i.e. if the wireless connection drops, don't use the 3g connection automatically?


I'm using Kies to connect my 'Samsung Galaxy Ace' in my PC. All the options like Music,Photos,Videos and Podcasts working fine. But when I click on Samsung Apps under Store option, its showing an error "Samsung apps cannot be run. Please try again later". Could you help me to resolve this problem...?


How can I have a separate birthday calendar without shoving all those contacts onto GMail?

I have the HTC Sensation XL if that has any significance on the issue. I'd like to have the birthdays of my contacts show up as appointments in my calendar automagically. What I don't want is to put all those contacts on Gmail. I don't use gmail and I don't want Google to have them. I would also prefer if they would not go into my default local calendar so I can toggle them on and off to reduce clutter. But this is optional. Is there any way to do this?


Show the original timestamp on received messages

Is there any way I can change the message settings on my LG Nexus 4 to show the time a message was sent to my phone, rather than the time it was received?


Can a carrier-sold Nexus 5 be reimaged to the default Google Nexus experience?

I'm eligible for a phone upgrade with Sprint and the Nexus 5 is one of my top choices at the moment. Normally they bundle their phones with bloatware (like their Connection Optimizer _shudder_ ) which I would like to avoid. Can a Nexus 5, purchased from Sprint, be flashed/reimaged/reset to be identical to one purchased from the Google Play store? Some caveats:   * I imagine rooting the phone might be a necessary step in this process (should one exist) but I'd prefer the phone to be "unrooted" after completion.   * Ideally the process should not void the warranty on the device As a side question: are the differences between a Sprint-offered Nexus 5 and one bought straight from Google Play significant enough (annoying enough?) to warrant all this effort?


Move everything to SD card on Android Virtual Device (Emulator)

I need to do a strange task. I want to move whole android system to external SD card on Android Virtual Device. I need to do this, because android emulator, emulates SD commands, only for external card image. And I want to get SD commands trace, during Android Virtual Device usage. To be more precise: I want to move at least /system and /data folders to external storage. In such way, that system could still work fine =) Thank You!


Random share Intent screen

Sometimes when I'm just casually clicking around in apps or swiping through the OS, I get random Share `Intent` popups. I can usually open it with `ES File Explorer`, `Chrome` or `Dropbox`. It has no indication what the `Intent` is about, so I can't figure it out. Is there a known cause for this behavior?

How to repair my contact names

I had more than 300 company or business contacts on my phone, with the name in the "organisation" field. I got my contact list correctly transferred to my Galaxy S4...can't really remember how...8 months ago. Now I obtained a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Tab, and in the process of getting the contacts on the new device, via a Kies or Google sync, all the "organisation" contacts are now listed in my contacts, under their telephone numbers, and not under the organisation names anymore, on both my S4 and the Tab. Not sure if this explanation is good enough...but please help me if you know what I mean or if you experienced the same maybe. Can anyone help me with this please? Or anyone with a similar problem? Thx, Willem.


Why whatsapp with a specific contact fails to receive messages?

I am not able to receive messages from a specific contact using whatsapp, but I am able to send to the that same contact. All other contacts appear to be receiving and no issues with the send process. **Ps:** I haven't blocked the contact where the issue is being reflected. If relevant, I'm using Android 4.0 (ICS)


Apps aren't installing

I have a Huawei u8110. Since it is a low-end device, you can't do anything smoothly like running cm9. There is a cm9 rom which runs slightly better on my phone. But I can't install most of my apps. They can be installed on other roms but they are slow. When i look logcat, Package installer gives error code -19. I have searched everywhere but I didn't found an answer. I have wiped data, cache, formatted /system but nothing changed. Can changing package installer and its modules work? If it does something, what are those files? Thanks in advance.


Battery indicator increase when not charging

Basically, two hours ago my battery level is at 8%, then an hour ago, it was at 9%. Now it's at 10%. Why is it going up even though it is not plugged in? Would I need to calibrate my battery? **Note: This is a new phone**


Andriod device rebooting constantly

Sending a group the same message and get individual replies

First, I'm an android rookie. I'm managing a softball team. I need to be able to send 40+ phones the same message at the same time (SMS is fine), but get individual replies (each player/parent's reply should come to me but not go to the whole team). I just switched from an iPhone 4 to a Galaxy S5. iPhone app "Group Text!" was perfect - I'm having trouble finding something comparable for the S5/android. Advice?


Making SMS sound and other notifications play in speaker with headphones inserted

I would like to be able to go to sleep with headphones plugged into my S4 so that I can listen to podcasts, but then there is the problem that I don't hear SMS messages or calls during the night, because the notification sounds are played in the headset also. What I need is that every incoming SMS message and phonecall notification are played through the speaker and not the headphones. It is not a problem if this causes the podcast or music in the headphones to stop while the notification is playing in the speaker. So is there an app or other method that fixes this? I have checked Soundabout, but it seems that it is not able to force notifications to speakers, only phonecalls. Edit: There is a related question, but that one is limited to phonecalls, and it seems that there is a difference to routing the sound for phonecalls, to other notifications.


Whatsapp on Android

How to configure lock screen shortcuts

How can I customize / add shortcuts of the "lock widget" in the lock screen?

Problems Connecting Asus Transformer TF101 to Mac OS X 10.92

Please bear with me if this is an insipid question, but I am not able to connect my Asus tablet to my Mac. It has been recommended that I go and download the USB drivers for the tablet here. Seemed easy enough. WRONG! USB drivers are well supported for Windows, but not Mac or Linux (odd). There is a third party application that Asus says you need to install called Splashtop Streamer for Windows or Mac in order to move forward with the installation of the drivers. I gave that the old college try and, much to my chagrin, Splashtop Streamer does not seem to have clear instruction on how to configure their product. I left a comment on one of their pages that discussed a error "Your 6783 port is not reachable", which seemed to be adversely affecting my completion of the installation process. In summary, I am dead in the water. I can not install USB drivers in order to load my app onto my device to test. I am trying to test a Google Map App using V2 of the API. Apparently, the Eclipse and the Android Studio emulators to not render the new Google Maps API. So, i need to ship the app to a device. Must I really buy a new one? Please ponder and grant me any wisdom you might have? Also, if you think this question was useful, please give it vote. Thanks again


Lock screen stuck in landscape mode on Galaxy Tab 10.1

I rooted and upgraded my Galaxy Tab 10.1 to Jelly Bean 4.1.2. One mild annoyance is that the pattern lock screen is stuck in landscape mode. I can't find any option to rotate it to portrait mode. How can I stop the pattern lock screen from being always in landscape? If possible, can I force the pattern lock screen to always be in portrait mode?


How can I access Google Docs spreadsheets in Android?

Why does my YouTube app have performance problems and outright failures?

I have a stock Captivate on AT&T. I've tried to watch videos at least a dozen times, and maybe twice it's worked as I would like it to. Problems include:   * "This video cannot be played". I saw the question about "allow mobile playback" flag, but I get it on user-created stuff too (not just commercial stuff). Is there a way to check if the flag is set, say from the desktop web interface?   * 20+ second load time before playback starts, even for short videos, _if_ it works at all   * Sometimes I wait over a minute and the "spinner" ("Loading video") never goes away    * Once it starts playback, if the buffer runs out, I can't get it to start again. The buffer indicator might start growing again (pale red line appears again and gets bigger) but nothing I do can make it start actually playing. I hit play/pause, scan forward/backward, tap the time bar, etc; nothing happens. Some notes:   * I have tried HQ and not-HQ; both have issues though HQ is worse (not surprising)   * I have tried it on WiFi and 3G; 3G actually seems a little better   * I can watch YouTube just fine on my laptop, etc, over the same wifi connection   * I have used the wifi analyzer app (forgot the name) to inspect spectrum; there are no conflicting / overlapping networks in my area   * I can download podcasts on Listen at ~10+ MB/min (estimated by my watch) so it's not something wonky with my wifi connection   * I've rooted the phone but only so I could fix a corrupt wifi settings file (known issue, but I'm having trouble finding a ref link right now). I'm pretty sure the issue is not related, and I'm not running any other superuser stuff. I'm at a loss. I have no idea how to track this down -- there's no particular _error_ to look up, just general crappiness. Is it just me? Does everybody have this terrible of an experience? Would the "lag fix" do anything for me? Is there a better 3rd-party player? (someone mentioned sideloading VLC) I don't view a lot of YouTube videos generally, but when I do get a chance to look at them it'd be nice to be able to do so on my "super" phone...


Is it possible to move the keyboard to the top of the screen?

One of the biggest advantages to the Swype keyboard is the ability to effectively type with only one hand. However this dosent work very well since the keyboard is at the bottom of the screen. Is there any way to move the keyboard to the top of the screen only when on portrait mode so that I can grip the phone with one hand and type with my thumb on the top of the screen where my thumb has more range of motion?

Low space available 16GB HTC One X CM11-02140804 Nightly

I just bought an old HTC One X of a guy I know, he had loaded CM11 on already, which is great so far but I seem to be low on available space (note, I **don't mean free space**. Thats all gone thanks to spotify offline files) Disk Use shows only 5.1GB usable. Stock would show ~10GB apparently. Any thoughts on how to recover usable space? Disk Use in Root shows the following mount points :               cache 314MB     data 2161MB     dev 489MB (489 free)     mnt asec 489MB (489 free)     mnt fuse 489MB (489 free)     mnt obb  489MB (489 free)     sys fs cgroup 489 (489 free)     system 1200MB      Which totals in the region of 6GB. so between user space and system I've got 11GB of space used, which matches the statement that I should have an additional 5GB free. Is this a problem with the nightly? The last stable is CM 10.2, but I understand that CM don't do 'stable' releases anymore, I need the most recent M build. How TF do I find that out? Any other thoughts? I'm entirely noob when it comes to this stuff so I'd like some pointers before getting involved. Thanks.

In both OneDrive and Dropbox don't see an option to select these additional folders to sync. How can I accomplish this?


Personal Hotspot on Three not working with my s4

I recently noticed that I could not send picture messages to people but I could receive them. I looked online and found that resetting my apn settings to default May fix this problem. After resetting my apn settings I noticed that my personal hotspot would no longer work. Every time I enabled it and connected to it with a device my carrier (three uk) would send me a SMS message on my s4 stating that "to use your personal hotspot or 'tether', you need to buy an addon" before resetting my apn's my hotspot worked fine. I later discover that my contract had limited my bill to £33 witch was exactly my monthly bill witch stopped me from sending the picture messages. I would wondering is there was anyway to recover the hotspot and if so how would I do this. Thanks

Recovery from fastboot

I have a Sanyo Zio that is completely non-functional but for being able to get into fastboot. Two questions: 1) I gather that the answer to this problem generally is to install a boot.img from fastboot. Is this correct? 2) Is there a place where such boot images are archived? Search as I may, I can't find such a site.

What is hard reset and what is factory reset?

Remove Rom Manager from boot

Rom Manager is a little goofy on my phone.

EACH REBOOT is like a hard reset. How do I remove Rom Manager from the boot strap? Make the phone boot like it did from the factory?


Custom keyboard shortcuts for Android

I am trying to create some custom shortcuts for often-used words/phrases using the built in dictionary, but have run into a roadblock.

Stuck mid-way through Root process (Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-1535)

Root Instructions I've been following the root instructions above. I'm at this step: Using your custom recovery flash the download you chose above from Step 1 (#3) However, I had forgotten to move the SU/Bootloader zip file to my SDCard (not a removable SD, the system SD). So I connected to my mac, used android file transfer to move the zip file to the SD card root directory (/sdcard/), and rebooted into recovery mode. Now I'm in the samsung recovery mode (3e), with the little android fella and the red triangle, (manual mode), and if I select 'external storage', obviously since I don't have any (no removable SD), I can't seem to get to the file. The first time I had rebooted into recovery I had gotten this screen: TWRP Screen But now I can't seem to get back to that screen to attempt to install the Super SU and Bootloader zip file. Help?

Application reloads from the launch activity when icon clicked in some devices?

Our application relaunches from the launch activity on some devices when the icon is clicked in the launcher, while on others it resumes its current state when clicked in launcher. The application uniformly resumes its current state when resumed from the application history. The behavior is different even in different phones that are the same running the same OS i.e. two Galaxy Note 2's both running 4.1.2.


Android 4.4.2 - How to not dismiss notification while checking the detail

I recently upgraded my phone to Galaxy S5. This phone has 4.4.2. One big inconvenience I have encountered so far is the way the event and notification work - the system automatically dismisses a notification when I tap on the notification to check the detail. Usually, I can only prioritize what I am doing and the upcoming events after seeing the event detail. But by tapping on the notification, the notification is dismissed and will not show up later, should I decide to ignore the notification for now. Previously on 4.0, unless I mark a notification and tap on a dismiss button, the notification stays. I would like to keep the old behavior if possible.

Android "loses" a game

I installed this game via APK on my Chinese tablet "Infotmic M799CA", created a desktop shortcut for it and noticed that after a (very frequent) device hang with consequent reboot, the game gets lost.

Are there any custom ROMs which let the user somehow filter Share menu lists?

Based on " How can I customize the list of services that pops up when I choose to "share" something in an app? " answer, any app supporting ACTION_SEND intent will be listed in "Share" menu pop-up. **Are there any custom ROMs which let the user somehow filter those Share menu lists to exclude installed apps?**


Where has the option to mount as hard drive gone ...?

I have an HTC Desire HD (on Vodafone UK). I noticed this week that when I now connect it to either pc or mac the option to mount as a hard drive is no longer present. Why? What do I need to do to get it back?


My EVO 3D is narcissistic and won't stop taking pictures of itself

My SD card is filling up with screen caps. I mean, it's not a big problem that's taxing my storage. Still, with all the activity in my pockets, my phone frequently like to waste time photographing itself like some webcam girl. I am running a stock EVO 3D from HTC; no roots, no screen cap apps or anything. I am thrilled that there might be native screen-capping. However, when I have googled to find out how to do it, there are either non-native instructions (it's native), or there are instructions to just shake the crap out of it (which I have tried, and does not cap screens). I admit it is totally possible there is some key-combo I have not found yet; but if there is one, I need to disable/remap it. My question is two fold;   * So assuming the problem is between the keyboard and chair, and assuming that the behavior leading to the screen caps isn't going to change (i.e. me putting my phone in my pocket); How can I get the phone to stop screen capping at random times?   * As mentioned in the comment below, hitting [LOCK+Home] will take screen caps with my HTC EVO 3D; can these buttons or this behavior be remapped?


How do I get Livewallpaper on HTC Wildfire?

I have a HTC Wildfire , and i have updated my android from 2.1 to 2.2 as i was developing application which creates the livewallpaper. Now the problem is inside my application there a option to launch Livewallpaper chooser , but when i try to lunch it its giving me following error while testing on actual device.               android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.service.wallpaper.LIVE_WALLPAPER_CHOOSER }      apart from this since i have updated to android 2.2 i haven't seen the livewallpaper option in my HTC wildfire phone. There is only "HTC Wallpaper" and "Gallery" Option under "Select wallpaper from". so i don't know if there isn't any livewallper in HTC wildfire then how to get it.


Why does my EVO 3D think I am talking to it?

Occasionally when biking or walking, something must be going on in my pocketses because my HTC EVO 3D keeps thinking my standard headphones are evolving into headphones with an inline mic. Normally I will be listening to music (Winamp) and the track will start skipping around; this is long after I have locked the screen and it has gone to black. I pull out the device and the headphones icon in the notification bar now have a mouth piece sticking out of them in the icon. I look at my headphones, they certainly haven't morphed in any way. I don't have bluetooth on, no other devices are connected to cause interference. What is going on with my phone and how can I keep it from happening? I don't mind forcing it to never be an inline mic'ed set of headphones if that option is available somehow; it's incredibly annoying 45 minutes into a ride and I would love to get this locked down.


How can I disable Phone, SMS, Market and 3G functionality from Android?

I am trying to convert my old Motorola Droid (running CyanogenMod 7) into a device my kids can use without me worrying about them making phone calls or downloading apps I don't know of. My needs are:   1. Disable / uninstall the ability to make phone calls   2. Disable / uninstall the ability to send text messages   3. Disable / uninstall cellular data connectivity (should only be able to work on wifi)   4. Password protect the Market Is there a ROM out there that already has this, or some pointers on how I can do this myself on Cyanogen?


Why do I keep texting myself voice mail transcripts?

I am having an issue trying to assess why I am texting transcripts to myself of the voice mails people leave me. The Problem: I have an HTC EVO 3D on Sprint, and whenever someone leaves a message I get a notification in my gmail inbox of the transcript via Google Voice (ding #1). Shortly thereafter, I then get a notification (ding #2), and then 2-3 text messages (dings #4-5) on the HTC Sense texting app widget, from myself via my carrier's phone number (that is, the non-Google number). As you can imagine, it is incredibly irritating. Background: Looking into the Voicemail settings on the phone, and the Visual Voicemail settings, I don't have anything enabled to cause this behavior (I am not signed up for the latter service, and the trial hasn't even been configured). Google Voice isn't to blame for these text messages; they are set up to only push to gmail. The texting app itself is of no use in terms of finding out where it is getting these notifications from; it says it's from my carrier's number, but nothing else. Please let me know any suggestions you have to: \- diagnose the source of the 2-3 text messages; they are the truly aggravating "feature" of this problem. I am not sure if this is caused at the carrier, hardware, or software level. \- turn off the notification (sound) for the 2-3 text messages, or to disable the texts from myself entirely. As you might expect, I still want to receive notifications for other text messages, so muting the app wholesale is not an option. I am okay with ditching the HTC app, so if there is one (hopefully with a workspace display) that can selectively mute users (e.g. myself) that might be an option


How do I arrange the icons manually in the app menu?

I am using Micromax Canvas 2 A110 with Android ICS 4.0.4. I installed few apps which are sorted randomly (or maybe alphabetically). I want to arrange the icons on the app menu manually. i.e. set frequently used apps on one page, games on second page and so on... I could not find any option to re-arrange them manually. So, how do I arrange the icons manually in the app menu (app drawer)? I want to do this on ICS's default launcher (not third party launcher). PS: This question is for **auto** arrange while I want manually.


Samsung Galaxy s2 not showing missed calls

My phone won't show any missed calls. I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2. It was working earlier today. I called my phone 3 times because I was looking for it. But when I found it, it didn't show any missed calls. It won't even show up on the call log either. How do I get it back to showing my missed calls?


Android ADB unable connect with IP address

I have successfully installed Android OS in Oracle virtual box, but I have one problem: I cannot connect to ADB in the Android OS virtual box. In my Network settings in virtual box:   * When I select host-only Adapter option, I can connect with ADB, but I have no Internet connection.   * When I select NAT, I cannot connect with ADB, but I have Internet connection. How do I fix this?


Why is screen sometimes unresponsive when receiving calls

On occasion, my Droid Bionic (4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich) does not react to screen touches when the phone is ringing. The swipe to answer icon appears, but does not respond. After the call goes to voice mail, I can turn the screen off and back on and the phone behaves normally. I believe this has only happened when the phone has been locked with the screen off when the call arrived. I don't receive a large number of calls on this device, so I don't have a very large sample size, but it probably happens less than 1 time in 20. The most recent was within a few hours of rebooting the phone, so I don't think it is due to memory consumption by another app, etc.


Reverting LG GT540 to its old interface

I just tried to install my LG GT540 with a KDZ file that I downloaded from a site, hoping that my problem with the Android Market would be fixed but nothing happened. My problem is that I can't revert the phone back to its original interface. It now has a Vodafone on the background screen. Any idea on how I can revert it back?


Transfer / Export or a specific notification ringtone

My friend has a notification ringtone that I want on my phone but I can't find it on hers so I can send it to myself. The ringtone came on her phone and is not on her SD card. Does anyone know how I can do this? We both have the same LG android phone. Or at least know where I can download it off the Internet. It's simply called "POP" and goes something like "Ch'pow" LOL. Thanks


Wi-fi disabled during lock still partly active? Or do I mis-interpret the battery graph?

On my Google Nexus 7 I noticed that it would consume around 1% of battery each hour that it was just being idle. I suspected that battery-usage during idle time could be improved. So the next night (7 hours) I put my Nexus into airplane mode, and the next morning the battery had only used 1% for those 7 hours, which proved that there was room for improvement.   Next I disabled bluetooth and set wi-fi, to be disabled when the screen is locked (changed "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" from "Always" to "Only when plugged in"). After a fews tests of 7 hours idle the battery was down 2 ~ 3% each time. But then I noticed in the battery graph, that the wi-fi still showed quite a lot of activity. This probably explains the difference in battery consumption with airplane-mode.   I had expected the wi-fi to be completely disabled with this setting, and the wi-fi bar in the battery graph to be almost completely black. To see the difference I manually disabled the wi-fi and then the bar is indeed completely black (the right block in the image): ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/6A6ZO.png) I would expect the wi-fi to be completely off when the screen is locked, but looking at this question: Turning on Wi-Fi on demand that is apparently not how Android works. So now I'm wondering what the wi-fi is doing in this setting? Why does Android keep the wi-fi 'partly' enabled? If Android would still let apps do their syncing etc on a regular basis I would understand this, but this is not the case (Notifications don't come in & it even seems to cut off streaming etc), so it seems to only waste battery? I first suspected a misbehaving app, but I checked with Wake lock detector and Network log but don't see any suspicious apps. I guess I could use JuiceDefender or a similar app to completely disable the wi-fi when the screen is locked (and still let it sync from time to time), but that's not really the point of this question.


Get error "authentication is required . You need to sign in"

GMail attachment download does not complete

I am using Jelly Bean on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. I have been trying to download an attachment from the GMail app. All I see is a progress bar which shows 0% progress and an icon added in the notification area. The download does not proceed beyond 0%. I restarted the tablet and the icon is back! But the download stays at 0% and does not progress. Has anyone else faced this problem? How do I remove the icon from the notification area?


Many apps don't work for secondary accounts

I have a Google Nexus 7 that I share with my kids. I am the owner and created a second account for my child. I've found that many games work on my (the owners) account, but will not work on the second users account. One of the apps in question is Unblock me Free. It works great on my account, but on the second users account, it will get to the splash screen and then just disappear. I cannot find any app, user or security settings that could be causing this. Hoping for some insight from this group as to what is causing this. I hesitate to install a root-kit or unlock the tablet unless I can be convinced that's the best/safest way to go.


Windows doesn't recognize Huawei Ascend G300

I have installed many ROMs, and the phone worked fine. One day (and I don't know why), Windows couldn't recognize my Huawei. Windows can't install the drivers, and it named the phone as "Unknown device". I already tried all options in "Device Manager". I have tried using another PC, installed and reinstalled the drivers, another OS (Ubuntu), another cable, but still nothing. USB OTG Helper made this report: > -Root Ok   >  -Storage Module live   >  -NTFS read-write supported   >  -Mount: No drives found! > > and USB Host Controller   >  -S3C USB Host driver NOT found


ICS - no internet, but access to network drive possible

I've set up wifi on an ICS phone. I can connect to a network drive in the system, so the connection seems to be OK. However when I try the browser I get the message 'problem loading page'. I used static IP and I just copied the settings from my laptop that can access internet fine with these settings (of course I used different IP adresses for laptop and phone). Also e-mail and other apps that need internet connection don't work. If enabled 3G connection works OK. Apart from the 'problem loading page' message there a no other error notifications. Maybe a know issue for somebody?


Use a bluetooth headset for media audio on a Nexus 7 running Android 4.2

I have a Jawbone Bluetooth headset paired to my new Nexus 7 tablet. In the paired Bluetooth devices section, it show that it is paired under the `Phone Audio` profile. I just want all the audio to go through the Jawbone earpiece, when it is connected. So far even though it is connected **I can't get any sound out of the ear piece** and the tablet still uses it's built in microphone. **So is there a way to change the Jawbone's Bluetooth profile from`Phone Audio` to all, or media, etc?** I don't know how to change this, and I'm not even sure what the `Phone Audio` profile is for, since I'm new to Android and this isn't really a phone.


How to prepare touchscreen-based Android device for [emergency] calling using only hardware buttons?

If my touchscreen Android phone gets smashed I expect that it can happen that only touchscreen is broken (as it seems to be the most fragile part) while the device itself able to function somehow; and I maybe need to call somewhere using only hardware buttons (without screen at all). Are there any programs to place and/or answer [emergency] calls by entering some pattern of hardware buttons without using screen as input or output? This can also be helpful when you are using the device in frost, in gloves, etc. so using touchscreen becomes problematic. Having wet/cold/cracked_screen phone and not being able to call for help just because of touchscreen is not working can be unpleasant. With hardware buttons you can type the "sos code" sometimes even if both your and your phone's HP is low... My device is SE Xperia X10, but I expect the thing to work one way or another with all devices with at least 1 hardware button.

Can I access my Android's Micro SD card through Bluetooth?

I just got my first Android about a week ago; so I'm hoping to learn a thing or two about it.   One thing I've been curious about is if there's a way to access my phone on my computer through Bluetooth. I was hoping I could reformat the Micro SD card that's in my phone (because I don't have an adapter..) Can I even do that..? If so, can I go even deeper into my phone to do other neat things? I have the ZTE Score running Android 2.3


How do I do a completely clean installation?

I've tried a few custom roms and now I want to reset my phone (they're all unstable). Wipe data/factory reset from recovery doesn't cut it. It leaves a lot of stuff behind. How do I do a completely fresh installation? It's a Galaxy S currently running on a ROM based off JVT Gingerbread 2.3.5. CWM is installed.


Phone starts playing podcast for no apparent reason

This started yesterday, and I have no idea why. I noticed my phone was playing a podcast. I've been using BeyondPod for a while, which is sometimes a bit wonky, but never had this kind of problem. I tried playing and pausing, no dice. In fact, BeyondPod just played over the currently-running podcast. They played simultaneously. Same for any other music stuff, whereas usually when I start e.g. Pandora, the podcast or Music apps will pause themselves. And it gets weirder. I restarted the phone. A few minutes later, podcast starts playing. Exact same podcast, playing from the beginning. I turn the phone off and on and it's good for a while, but then an indeterminate amount of time later, I notice the podcast playing again in my pocket (loud room, so I don't know how long it had been going). It's also worth noting that the podcast plays from the phone's speakers, but if I plug in headphones it plays from them _in addition_. I check my running services. I stop literally everything I can. I check battery usage. Nothing. I _uninstall_ BeyondPod, and that doesn't help either. The only change I've made to my phone was recently switching to ADW Launcher from the default. But even there, I reverted back to the original home, and I'm still having the problem. Any ideas? This is getting really aggravating. It always plays the same podcast, always starting from the beginning.


How can I set up a 6to4 tunnel (NAT traversal)?

I'd like to get IPv6 including NAT traversal on my Android phone. Root is available. It is so easy to get a 6to4 tunnel on Linux.. Just install aiccu and then `aiccu start`. On Windows there is gogoClient which is also quite easy. I tested IPv6config but my phone does not work out of the box and the author seems more interested in a proof of concept rather than supporting all phones. He does not reply to my e-mails, and after Googling this app it seems that I am the only one using it. Are there any working ways to setup a 6to4 IPv6 tunnel on Android?


Can I have different default phone numbers for different actions?

Take a contact which has several phone numbers... say `Home`, `Mobile` and `Work`. When I click the QuickContact action to text them, it asks me which number... so I select `Mobile`. Now, I'd like to set this as default... because I always text them on their mobile. Problem is, when I do this, it ALSO sets it as the default phone for `ACTION==CALL`, which I do NOT want, as I regularly call them on all three numbers. Is there any way to set a default number for texting while NOT having a default for calling, so that it will still prompt me to pick a number when I click QuickContact.Call?


HTML signature in Gmail app

Is it possible to set a HTML signature in the Android Gmail app somehow? I set something like               mytitle      as a signature but the HTML tags didn't parse. If you can suggest another app that allows HTML signature that will also be cool.


Easiest way for testing the internal GPS

How do I "train" Face Unlock?

After updating my UK HTC Sensation to Android 4.0 I was keen to try out Face Unlock. I'm happy to say that it works _reasonably_ well, however the setup process has led to me having a query. When setting up face lock, after your face has been captured for the first time and setting up your backup access, you are given the following prompt: > # You've Finished! > > To unlock your phone, just look at it. > > _Tip: Improve face matching by having your face captured in different > conditions_ The tip sounds good, however it doesn't actually tell you how to have your face captured in different conditions! After clicking OK to the prompt you are returned to the security menu and any attempt to re-set-up face unlock just seems to over-write your previous settings (or at least I assume it does as it asks you to set up a new backup system). How can I recapture my face multiple times to improve face recognition?

How do I set up OpenVPN on CyanogenMod 7?

I want to route _all_ my network traffic through my home's ISP connection when I'm out in Internet cafes so I can't be eavesdropped/firesheeped. I have an HTC G2 with CyanogenMod 7, which has OpenVPN client support built- in: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/cbAP5.png) At home, I have a router with TomatoVPN on it, which includes an OpenVPN server: ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Q8Qvt.png) Now, how do I get the phone client to connect to the router server? I can Google and find a set of seemingly relevant instructions, but they aren't very helpful: > You need to pack your cert and keys and put it in SD card Where do I get those? > Copy client.p12 to sdcard root directory Where do I get that? > add your certificates, and set the interface type and the protocol > accordingly. How, specifically? Which settings should be what? Using settings that don't protect me is worse than no protection at all due to the false sense of security. I'm looking for step-by-step instructions for a "roadwarrior" setup that routes all traffic through the VPN. Where do I get keys? Do I need to use additional username/password authentication? What DNS search domains? What settings should I use in CM7's OpenVPN Advanced menu? "Redirect gateway" needs to be set to route all traffic, for instance, right? Which settings for Basic and Advanced in TomatoVPN? "Direct clients to redirect Internet traffic"? "Respond to DNS"? **Update:** I've given it yet another try on my own, and was again unsuccessful. I don't think there's any way to generate keys on either the router or the phone, so I tried to generate them in Ubuntu. I tried to follow these directions to generate keys, but they aren't correct. (The folder is `/usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0` instead of `/usr/share/doc/openvpn-2.0/easy-rsa`, for instance, and there's a `vars`, but no `init-config` script.) I found these directions, which are more helpful, and generated a number of files:   * 01.pem   * 02.pem   * ca.crt    * ca.key   * dh1024.pem    * htc_g2.crt    * htc_g2.csr    * htc_g2.key    * server.crt    * server.csr    * server.key   * ta.key The files I copied to the router are   * ca.crt   * server.crt   * server.key   * dh1024.pem first stripping everything before `-----BEGIN`, according to these instructions. The router server starts now and says > Name Value Max bcast/mcast queue length 0 under Status. So I guess the server is working? Then I copied these files to the phone:   * ca.crt   * htc_g2.crt   * htc_g2.key   * server.crt   * ta.key Different directions disagree on which files to copy. Then I went to Settings → Location & security → Install from SD card, and was able to install the CA certificate, added a password, etc. Trying to add the htc_g2 or server certificates did not work, saying "no certificate to install". I edited the files and removed everything before `-----BEGIN`, and then they installed. In "Add OpenVPN VPN", I selected the "ca" certificate for "Set CA certificate", and the htc_g2 certificate for "Set user certificate". When I try to connect, it says "Unable to connect to network". Same if I try the server certificate for the user certificate.

How do I get play store to stop asking me to auto-update on wifi?

I have an Acer Iconia A200 running Android 4.0.3. Lately whenever I update an app, the Play Store asks me (via a pop-up dialog) if I want to automatically update apps on Wi-Fi. The only answers I can give are 'yes' and 'not now'. What I really want is 'No, and don't ask again', because I happen to like being involved in updates. In Play Store->settings->auto update, automatic update is turned off, and has no setting for 'Wi-Fi only'. Is there any way to turn this annoying message off? I'm very afraid I'm going accidentally answer yes one day and thus lose control of my updates. Updated: Play store says build 4.0.27 in it's 'Build Version' in the play store settings. Updated again: It's back. The exact message is 'Update Apps automatically when on Wi-Fi?' and the two options to the dialog are 'Not now' and 'OK'. Interestingly this happened when I updated 'GOdroid' directly from the page, but did NOT happen when I updated 5 other apps at once later that day. I'm wondering if it's only asking once per app or something?


How to Install ClockworkMod on Innos A35

I tried to install ClockworkMod via ROM manager. My device(Innos A35) wasn't listed, but I chose one that was on the list thinking that it would somehow get installed. There was a download, but when I reboot to recovery mode the old recovery software with only a few options is shown. I was thinking that rebooting to recovery mode would bring up something like this if ClockworkMod was properly installed. Can someone point to me what could be wrong? Or can someone tell me how to manually install ClockworkMod without using ROM Manager?

I was looking into whether a vanilla Android app running on a tablet can have the tablet screen output to TV via an AVI or HDMI output jack? The intent is NOT to view video content but just the app screen on a large TV. An example of how this would be useful would be a 'low-tech' training session for a bunch of people on how to use the app.

I want to install a module (bcm4329.ko) in my nexus one phone. I have rooted the phone and installed Cyanogenmod too. In Terminal emulator, I tried various commands but everything resulted in failure               $ insmod /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko //[Operation Not Permitted]     $ su insmod /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko //[throw the syntax/man page of su]     $ cd /system/lib/modules     $ chmod 777 bcm4329.ko //[Read only file system]      The error messages I received are enclosed within '[ ]' after every command. How can I install this module in my android phone. Any help please.


Cannot connect Samsung Galaxy S2 to computer in storage mode via USB

I am trying to install an application (developed using Eclipse) onto the computer (I am using Windows XP). When I try to connect the USB cable with the phone, it starts to charge or starts the MTP application, but it does not go into mass storage mode. Here is what I have tried so far:   1. Turned on `USB Debugging` and then plugged in the USB cable. Result: Phone goes into charging mode.   2. With `USB Debugging` switched off, `USB Utilities -> Connect to Mass Storage` button pressed and the USB cable plugged in. Result: Plugging in the USB cable results in MTP application starting. Switching that off by pressing the home key and then pressing that `Connect to Mass Storage` button again results in the message: `USB is connected. Remove the cable`   3. Tried the `*#7284` routine described in thread on this forum. That did not work either. My default settings were `USB -> PDA` (just the way that thread said it should be).   4. Checked if the Google USB drivers are all installed. Yes, they are. Other drives also mount from the same USB slot without any problems.   5. Switched off and then back on the phone.   6. Used different cables (one from Samsung and the other from Nokia) to see if there could be anything wrong with the cable. The same situation as above. And the Nokia cable is brand new. After having done all of this and spent a grand total of five hours, I am at my wits' end trying to figure out how I can get the phone to mount as a USB storage device. I have mounted it successfully before. **UPDATE:** I plugged my phone in to a Linux machine and a Windows machine using both cables today. It worked for the both of them!!! So now I know that USB storage mode on my phone works. The problem has to be with my laptop, or to be more specific, with the USB drive on my laptop. My questions now are:   1. How do I know what USB drive make is present on my computer. I would like to re-install the USB drivers on my laptop, all the while hoping that it does not screw up my machine.


Phone is slow to respond after waking up

Many times when I unlock my phone to wake it up, there seems to be a lot of lag shortly after. For instance, simply trying to make a call or opening an app seems to take about 5 to 10 seconds or so. I can't really look at the memory usage or anything because it is only within the first 10 seconds or so. For the most part, other than this short time period, operation of the phone seems fine regarding speed. This behavior seems to occur more frequently when I leave an app open, such as a messaging (Handcent) app or Browser. Is there a way to identify what is slowing my phone down? I am running a Gingerbread 2.3.3-based ROM on a Samsung Galaxy S (Captivate). Edit to add: Steps I've taken so far:   1. Removed any widgets   2. No longer use Live Wallpaper


Motorola Defy + Keeps Rebooting

I bought another Defy + for my daughter. I also have one which is fine. Hers keeps shutting down and rebooting, especially when it's away from the WiFi. It also has the latest system update. We tried switching batteries, but hers kept rebooting so it's not a battery issue. Any help out there?
