How to find and remove spy software on phone

My girlfriend has an admirer which started out as a good friend. He confessed his love for her some time ago and started to become more and more aggressive while being rejected. He recently started to show some stalker like behavior and started to appear near her flat at late nighttime. He also hinted, that he always knew when she was chatting with me through WhatsApp. I'm therefore afraid that he might have installed some Spyware on her Android-Phone (HTC One X+) Is there a way to identify Whatsapp Spyware and to remove it?

How does rooting work?

Or, how do I root my device without a rooter? Rooting instructions for Android devices that I have seen are typically of the following form:   1. Download `Gingerbreak.apk`   2. Run Gingerbreak, click “root device”   3. Observe that `Superuser.apk` has been magically installed, possibly along with `busybox` and other things, and enjoy your rooty goodness. What I am wanting to know is this: how does the rooting actually happen? What does Gingerbreak do? I understand the end result of rooting:   * `su` is present and working   * `Superuser.apk` is installed and controls access to `su`   * Various utilities are present, provided by BusyBox (optional?) I also think I understand the basic idea of how Gingerbreak gets started — it exploits some local privilege escalation vulnerability and uses its new-found powers to deploy Superuser and whatever else is necessary. So, unless I am wrong in some of the understanding I laid out above, the core of thing I want to know is what the root installer does to deploy and activate Superuser. It seems that just putting `Superuser.apk` in the right place wouldn't be enough — how does it get allowed root access? How does it get hooked up to moderate that access for other applications? What does Gingerbreak do post-exploit to enable and secure root access?


Dual SIM: Disable telephony features on second SIM

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 (GT-S7582) with two SIMs. I'd like to use one of those SIMs for everything telephony related, the other SIM for everything data related. I managed to set the first card to be the default SIM for outgoing calls, and I deleted the APN for the first card so that only the second SIM is used for data. However, I still receive calls for the number of the second SIM. I also get the choice to call using the second SIM, which I do not want. How can I disable receiving calls from the second SIM? How can I fix telephony/data even harder to the individual SIMs? Android version: 4.2.2 EDIT: As a first workaround, I disabled the default ringtone for the second SIM. This way only the display lights up, which is easy to ignore.


How is LTE data usage battery usage tracked, if at all?

I'm having a debate with a friend about how much battery usage LTE uses. In my experience, and apparently that of many people, disabling data grants a significant (30%) or so increase in battery life. My friend disagrees this is likely, his reasoning being they would not track all things that use power such as screen, and fail to account for data usage if it were significant. I can't actually find any technical details on how much additional battery is used if LTE data is enabled or if it is monitored by Android at all. Does anyone have information on either of these points?

How can I access EPST on the Motorola Droid 1 (Verizon)?

I've tried "##778#", "##778 send", and "##778# send" but every time it dials the number giving me a "Welcome to Verizon..." message instead of opening the provisioning screen (except for option 1 which does nothing).


How do I run a web application "offline" on my Android?

I have a web application written using HTML5 that leverages the application cache for "offline" access. On my iPod touch, I can go to the web while online, click the "+" icon, and set a shortcut on my home screen. This will launch the web application full screen and run the app, even when there is no Internet connection. Is there a similar process to use on my Android device, or will it vary by maker?


How can I enable the Wifi Hotspot capability on my Moto Droid 1 without using Adhoc?

I want to enable the wifi access point / hotspot functionality on my Droid so it acts as a "Standard" router like the built in functionality of the newer VZW phones (like the Droid Incredible). I have tried Wireless Tether for Root Users and Barnacle but they only create Adhoc connections for tethering which is different than becoming a hotspot. My phone:   * Motorola Droid 1   * Rooted Android 2.2 w/ any ROM you tell me will get WAP going   * Verizon Wireless **Edit:** Just a preemptive request... Please don't suggest PDAnet. Someone always does.


How can I listen to Youtube videos with switched off screen?

I would like to listen to Youtube videos in the same way I can listen to the radio. So I would like to switch off the screen and prevent any touch interaction. Neither the "Internet" Browser nor the Google-specific "Youtube" app seem to permit this.

Can I turn off autocomplete/autocorrect for Google Maps?

When I want to type in a location to get directions, Google Maps brings up a list of suggestions under the textbox. That's fine, but then when there's only one suggestion left, Google Maps overrides what I was typing with that (invariably incorrect) suggestion. This makes it all but impossible to actually put what I want because even if I go back and edit, Google Maps will just clobber my text again. How do I make it stop? I don't see anything under Settings, either in the phone or the app. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S3. It would be ideal if I could keep the suggestions under the box without the automatic completion, but I'd settle for just turning it all off.


Set up an automated SMS server with Android (and a computer)?

I'm looking for a way to set up an SMS server (I don't know if there is better terminology for this, but probably). What I want:   * use the phone as an SMS gateway for an automated server    * let the phone send and receive messages   * use a computer to command the phone what to do Specific example use case: The phone gets an SMS message `[family] The party today will start at 2pm.` Which the computer will interpret and will order the phone to send the message over to all the numbers the computer has in the `family` list. Or f.e. `[add]family,0123456789` to let it add numbers to lists. So what do I exactly need? An app that can send all it's incoming messages to an HTTP server and can receive orders from that same server. Of course USB would be a better method than HTTP because it's safer.


Phone turns off at random

I have a note 1 N7000, and each time the screen began flickering and after that it shut down. This got worse after flashing a cyanogenmod rom. By plugging in the charger the battery seemed empty, but wasn't. After a while the battery indicator used to show charged 70 % or more. Put the charger cable off and the situation repeated after a short time of usage. Last night it started turning off at boot and wouldn't turn on unless on charge. I flashed a original JB rom since the problem doesn't happen when on recovery/download mode. but now it does it even when connected on charge. How can I fix this?


Cosmonaut stylus not working on Nexus 7

I received a Nexus 7 tablet, model K008 (2013 version) Android 4.4.2 build KOT49H, and a Cosmonaut stylus for Christmas. The touchscreen works fine when being operated with my hands, but is not responsive to my Cosmonaut stylus; it will require overly hard presses to make the tablet respond, and will often not register any touches made by the stylus at all. The stylus works fine with my Galaxy S3 and a friend's iPad 2. Is this a copatabilty issue with the stylus and tablet, or could it be the grounding issue that many of the Nexus 7s seem to be experiencing?


Google Nexus 7: I can't manage my device administrators

Can someone please help me? I've installed the McAfee protection on my tablet and later changed it to Kaspersky. When trying to deactivate McAfee as device administrator it didn't work. Therefore now I can't uninstall the app. I've also noticed that I can't deactivate any of my device administrators. I've tried to Force Stop the application on the Installed Devices menu, but the option isn't available. I don't want to reset my tablet and loose all the data. What should I do? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.


How can we see deamon proceses in Android?

How can we see all the daemon processes with their statuses on our android device? Reason for asking is that recently I came to know that `adb` (Android Debug Bridge) is a daemon process running on our Android device. Whenever we install the Android SDK adb server is installed which interacts between the client (IDE or the shell) and the daemon process running on Android (correct me if I have mistaken). So specifically, I want to view this daemon process's status and find more details about it like what port it is listening to. My device is running Android 4.0.4 (ICS). Device is rooted of course. I have installed terminal emulator and busybox. Any suggestion/help is appreciated.

"Ok you bought a brand new mobile phone with brand new battery, after checking its working ok kindly switch it off and charge it fully (100%) then start using it. IT WILL INCREASE YOUR BATTERY LIFE.", said by the Seller. Is this a myth or absolutely true when talking about Li-ion batteries?


Inconsistent battery status and poor battery performance after ICS update on HTC Sensation 4G

Recently I updated my HTC Sensation 4G from GB to ICS via official update. After ICS update, I am facing many types of problems in my phone:   1. Battery drain - 100 to 0% within 2 hours while browsing Internet using 3G connection.   2. Battery indicator does not show the status (%) properly. It happens when I charge my mobile via original HTC charger or use my original cable.    3. When the charging goes above 60% of charge, it charging rate becomes slow and progress is only approx 1% within 10 minutes. If I restart my mobile, it then shows 100% as battery status. This happens with every restart and only with every restart I am able to see the correct state of the battery.

Changing Vendor Id

Here's the context: subject - Mobile data (Internet) I have 4.1 (JellyBean) mobile phone. Everything works great. Of late I happened to travel to UK and my present service operator does not recognize this device for me to use the mobile internet.

Motorola Defy getting stuck at boot menu

I successfully installed CyanogenMod 7.2 on my Motorola Defy MB525 using the instructions from here. After a while, I wanted to install gapps, so I installed it from bootmenu. After this, it was always booting to boot menu and I didn't know how to make it boot into the system, so I changed the "Boot" option default to something like "Normal", I think. Now when starting the phone, all I see is the Google logo which stays there indefinitely. I can still boot to bootmenu and tried a number of times to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and re-install the CyanogenMod 7.2 zip, but it still can't get out of the infinite loop. Any ideas?


Unable to flash recovery image into the device

I am trying to flash recovery image into my HTC Explorer phone. The issue is i keep getting `waiting for devices` message when issuing `fastboot` command. the CMD is running with administrative rights leaving the only possible reason be the drivers not installed. However i have also done that. And when i boot my phone normally the device shows totally ok in device manager but when into fastboot mode the device manager shows a yellow mark on the device. even if i try to install the drivers from there it says drivers already upto date. Why is this happening and how can i solve this please help?


Applications think that GPS is off while it is on

I have a Prestigio Multiphone 3400 with Android 4.2.2. The phone is new and not rooted. In Settings -> Personal -> Location Access, there are two checkboxes:   1. Access to my location   2. Wi-Fi & mobile network location Both of them are checked. But the only application with working GPS is Google Maps. I tried for example GPS Test and GPS Essentials, but they both show GPS is off / GPS is currently disabled. In the Settings -> Device -> Apps -> (application name) there is "This app can access the following on your phone:" followed with "approximate location (network-based)" and "precise location (GPS and network-based)" Why are the Google Maps special? And why other apps cannot use GPS, while the permissions are obviously granted?


Google Maps runs GPS in background even if the GPS radio is off - how do I fix?

_I have the T-Mobile version of the LG G2, running Android 4.2.2, everything stock except the keyboard. I'm not sure what version of Google Maps, but the Play Store says it's up to date._ Yesterday I noticed that the G2's battery was draining a lot faster than it had been. I had thought it was just because I had been listening to music a lot more that day, but then when I checked the battery app that night it said that Google Maps was responsible for _half_ the battery drain. I had used it earlier that morning for directions and it had apparently run the GPS in the background for 11 hours straight. I thought it was a one-off, but it happened again today. I've attached a screenshot. The GPS on my device is _off_ as far as I can tell (i.e. the visual indicator in the tray is dark), so I don't know whether Google Maps is turning it on stealthily and forgetting to turn it off, or whether it's trying to find a GPS signal, can't because the radio is off, and gets stuck in a loop looking for it. I'm assuming the former because there's no CPU activity, just GPS. When I click the "Location Services" button, these are the settings:   * Access to my location: **ON**   * GPS Satellites: **OFF**   * Wi-Fi & mobile network location: **ON** So it shouldn't be happening. Why does this happen and how can I fix it? I suppose I can just remember to force stop Google Maps every time I use it, but I'm hoping for a better solution. ![Screenshot](http://i.stack.imgur.com/zYd90.jpg)   Screenshot (click for larger variant)

Short in sd card slot possibly?

This is not quite an "Android" question, however I figure someone here has to have had a similar problem before. Today my phone randomly started getting hot in my pocket. It wasn't the battery that was hot, it was the sd card slot on my Samsung Galaxy SII. I assume there must be a short in there, I tried blowing in it and on the card to remove any debris (had a dog hair short out the vibrating mechanism once and made it vibrate constantly). No success so far, data has been toasted. Any tips besides a replacement?


Why is Android claiming I have multiple Flickr accounts, and not allowing me to upload to Flickr?

Starting about a week ago, my phone -- rooted HTC Incredible, 2.2 -- stopped being able to upload to Flickr. I can't associate any system/device changes with the problem; I rooted a couple of months ago, and updated happily, since then. I'm not using any special Flickr apps -- just the default "Share >> Flickr" accessed via the Gallery. But when I do, I first get prompted to log in to Flickr, then told that I have multiple accounts (I don't) which is not supported. hunh? ![android prompts to sign in to flickr](http://i.stack.imgur.com/CMFQF.jpg) ![android tells me that multiple accounts are not supported](http://i.stack.imgur.com/8ttMU.jpg) N.B.: Question may be rephrased over time....

Nexus 4 problem with red light

I usually am able to get back on my other phones with the same problem, but the new one I received just doesn't turn on with the red light incident.

Android software runs differently based on different battery chargers?

I have a Samsung Galaxy **Nexus** and a Samsung Galaxy **Mini2**. In mid-August I lost my GNex battery charger; then I started charging the GNex with the Mini2 battery charger.   Their specifications are:               GNex : Volt 5,0 Ampère 1.0     Mini : Volt 5,0 Ampère 0.7      Since the second battery charger has a lower Ampèrage, it _should_ charge the phone exactly like the original one, but taking more time; In mid-September, the GNex started doing strange things: the charge was degrading faster than before (I'm used to charge it every two days, while from mid-september I charged it every day), and THE PHONE BECAME SLOW. I mean **SLOW**. Even if restarted and powered on from few minutes, the Application button took about 4-5 seconds. Before it was instant and smooth, about 0.2 seconds. In mid-October I found my original battery charger, and started using it again. After a couple of charges... the phone has returned to be superfast. Talking with a friend (physicist), it said it must be a software (or hardware) thing. A wanted behavior set up in order to slow the phone down when not using the original battery charger. I said that it sounded a bit like conspiracy stuff, then he argued that it is more likely than the electrons remembering which battery charger transferred them and based on that deciding to slower the phone or not :) Another friend (electrical engineering technician) said it is common practice (and brought examples from Laptop manufacturers's world); Is this a known issue ? If yes, is this Google or Samsung's fault ? (Why on earth should they do something _that_ stupid ? But this is rhetorical... ) Note: the "case study" is perfectly reproducible, the only requirement is to have two different battery chargers (with a different ampèrage) and a GNEx, but probably it is done on other phones too.

Google calendar syncing problem

I have a problem with syncing with the Google calendar. Although the syncing in most cases does work, for some events it just doesn't sync. I create events on Google Calendar, but they don't show up on the phone. Actually, I create them over iCal, which is also synced to Google Calendar, but that shouldn't matter. I checked and all events are online on Google's servers. Do you have any idea what could be wrong and how I can force it to sync? (HTC Desire)

Media Player starts playing when I unplug headphones

The stock media player on my phone has an annoying behaviour. Whenever I unplug the headphones, if the media player is paused or not running, it immediately starts running and playing my playlist. This is very annoying because everyone in the room is forced to listen to my songs until I manage to tap (twice) the Music Widget. Has this been happening to anyone else? And what did you do to fix it? _Note: I'm not sure if it's Android's stock player or if it's Motorola's stock player, it's just called "Music". Note 2: From the comments, it seems this is Android's stock music app._ **Motorola-Milestone, firmware 2.1-update1.**

Is my device defective?

Is it possible to set up an emulator with these specific requirements?

At work we've been given an opportunity to work with some hardware running a (semi) custom Android build. The long and short of it is the app we make needs to fit certain criteria. Uses TEGRA2, Android 4.0.3 Level 15, and supporting 1366 x 768 res with 90px system bar. Can I make an emulator to simulate all these? The API level is obviously easy to set up, and the custom resolution, however, I can't see any options to do with tegra2. As a note they do have a SDK available for this, which may include an emulator, but we don't have a copy yet so I'm looking for a quick temporary workaround until we get a copy.


Can an Android phone be used as a Bluetooth headset/speakers?

Is there a way to make an Android phone (HTC Desire HD) act as Bluetooth speakers or headset? I'd like to use the phone as wireless headphones whilst watching a movie on a computer (running Ubuntu).

How to use one Android phone as a handsfree device to another (via Bluetooth)?

I have an extra Android device (a mobile phone, Samsung Galaxy Y Duos, S6102B, Android 2.3.6 - rooted), that I call D1 here, and would like to use it as my "car brain", like a low-cost multimedia central, to do a lot of things. On this question, I would like to know:   * If I have another Android device, called here D2;   * How to play every sound from D2 on D1 using bluetooth connection. Example:   1. I'm on a call on D2. When I enter the car and turn D1 on, when D1 and D2 become bluetooth-paired, I can drive and continue talking via D1 (like a handsfree device), with D2 on my pocket;   2. I'm hearing music on D2 with my headphones. When I enter the car and turn D1 on, when D1 and D2 become bluetooth-paired, I can hear the music from D2.


HTC One and Sendgrid SMTP outgoing mail server not working

I am using Sendgrid SMTP server for my emails on the default Mail cleint and I've set up the account on my HTC One android phone. The problem is it doesn't send emails, it keeps saying authentication failed. I've tried every combination of ports/ssl/tls and the same thing. My username/password is definitely right as I use it everywhere with no problem. I've contacted Sendgrid support but they can't figure out any problem with their servers so it may be just the way the Mail client communicates with their server. Other SMTP servers work fine on the phone, just Sendgrid doesn't. Has anyone has problems like this with their outgoing mail servers?


Is there any way to auto-reconnect with a specific PPTP connection on Android?

Every time my phone switches between networks (e.g. 4G to Wi-Fi) the established PPTP connection drops. I know there is a feature called Always-on VPN, but that seems to only apply to L2TP or IPSec connections. When I select that option it says "Select a VPN profile to always stay connected. Network traffic will only be allowed when connected to this VPN." However, the only option listed is "None", even though you can clearly see a PPTP config behind this window. I am attempting to use proXPN service in particular but suspect this problem is generalized to PPTP sessions. For what it's worth the phone is running Android 4.3 and has not been rooted. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.


App/shortcut to quickly change screen lock type?

Two scenarios:   1. I'm at a "trusted" place, and don't want to enter unlock password/pattern all the time   2. I'm at an "untrusted" place and want my phone to be password/pattern screen locked is there any way to use some kind of a shortcut/app which would quickly switch the way the screen gets locked? for example (when my screen is unlocked) - I press an icon and the lock type changes from using just a regular unlock method to password/pattern unlock method and vice versa. using android2.2 _**edit** : added a new answer below on what I now use to accomplish this (using android2.3.7)_ thank you

Am I just blind or is there no "search" option on Android Market (??) if you go to the website from your desktop computer? If not, should I use some 3rd party search engine for the Market or should I just switch to some other "market" (some other android apps website)? And if there is no search option - why? I don't get it why someone wouldn't put something as trivial to that kind of a website? lol thank you


Sometimes Market update gets stuck downloading. How can I cancel?

Sometimes when I update an app through Market the download gets stuck at 0% or 100% and won't finish download or finish installing. The only way I've found to work around this is to uninstall the app, then reinstall from Market. Is there a better way to fix this situation?


“Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies” on reboot randomly, but device still working fine

My Galaxy Note 2 N7100 has “Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies” shows up randomly on system reboot, recovery reboot (from reboot menu in Touchwiz based official firmware 4.3, 4.4.2 both stock kernels and custom kernels), but rarely. When it happens I just press volume up and power to do force reset, and it boots normally, never failed. What is the cause of the problem? Is it a sign that flash memory is going to be dead soon, I use flash memory quite intensive, installed ROMs more than 10 times, stored a lot of data in userdata to almost full, cleared up some space, and stored new files.


Flashlight on lockscreen on Galaxy S5

I am soon going on a field trip and would like to give my friends the ability to use the flash light from the phone without giving them the pattern to unlock the phone. Is that possible to add the flashlight/torch to the locked screen just like the camera? I have a Galaxy S5 with Android 4.4.2


Does Android indeed need defragment?

I have recently format(not just wiping) userdata partition on Note 2 N7100 and Tab 7.7 P6800. I also restore /data using nandroid and restore internal sdcard by manually copying files. I notice that my devices become much snappier. App installs and opens are much faster. It used to lag a lot when it gets connected to internet, triggering apps to run by Autoruns. After formatting, it just doesn't lag when connected to internet. I noticed that mmcqd0, kworker, system_server now use much less CPU than before formatting. I also do TRIM a lot, and it didn't help the device to become any faster. Both devices were heavily used, stored a lot of files to almost full capacity, cleaned up some space, and stored new files(app and internal sd) again, installed custom ROMs more than 10 times and always install without wiping data/media/, only wiping /data/. So is it possible that files on those device gets fragmented and slow down everything? I'm just curious why a format with restore of everything fix lags on my device very much.


Convert Email Account from IMAP to Exchange

I recently converted my personal email from IMAP to Exchange, and I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to convert the account.   1. Trying to set up a new account with the same email address fails (obviously).   2. I am unable to change the username on the current account to include the domain part of the exchange login. I do not want to remove the account if I can avoid it, as doing so would lose all of the history and contacts associated with it. I just want to edit the incoming/outgoing server settings and login information.


Is it possible to use an Android device as X11 server for a remote machine over SSH?

When my desktop computer is up, I can connect to it with my notebook, even over the internet (I've set up my router to forward SSH to my desktop computer). My desktop computer runs GNU/Linux (Ubuntu distro), so I can use it with X terminal. My notebook also runs Ubuntu. I just need `ssh -X desktop.ip.addr`, then I can launch any program on my desktop machine. So, the question is: what's the way of **using Android as X-terminal over SSH**? I don't want to use VNC or other stuff. I think there must be some good SSH apps for Android (I've read about ConnectBot), but I haven't find anything about X11 (maybe it's my fault).


Make notifications/messages fill the screen

Is there a way to have it so notifications/messages fill the screen, so I can't help but notice them when I pick my phone up? Using an LG-Ally


Tasker: Notify before executing task

I'm making a task to hot boot every 3 hours. Currently, I have a profile set to this: Trigger: Every 3 hour \+ Display off Task: Hot Boot (I'm using 3rd-party plugin) How do I create a profile if I want to be notified by Tasker whether to run the task or not if I'm using the phone (e.g. screen display is on)? Thanks in advance.


Can anyone identify the widgets or software used in this?

I see this image and i would like to configure my Android phone to look like this too :) But I have trouble finding the software or widgets used. Can someone help me to find/identify them? http://www.flickr.com/photos/39965241@N03/3707753843/


Add more functions to the home button circle shortcut

When you swipe up from the home button in Jelly Bean you get a cute semicircle with a Google Now shortcut on top. This circle shape makes it perfect for adding other shortcuts. For instance, you could have the Gmail icon on the left side of the circle and the Chrome icon on the right side. Is there any way to get this functionality (different launcher, some rooted app, different ROM)?


SD Card Multiple partitions USB access

I want to split my SD cart in 2 partitions: one for android, and one containing a bootable OS used from computers through USB or by inserting in card readers. I can't access the second partition from USB! Specs:   * Phone: motorola defy+   * System: CynogenMod 10 (android 4.1.2)   * SD Card layout:      1. Primary FAT32, 1Gb, intended for android only (apps data)     2. Primary EXT4, 15Gb, invisible from android intended for computers (bootable linux system) Current status:   * Everything works with a laptop SD card reader: I can mount and browse both FAT32 and EXT4 partiations. I can boot from the SD card and boot to the linux I installed on the ext partition.   * From the phone: android can mount and access the FAT32 partition, the ext4 partition is invisible just like I want.   * Problem from USB: When accessing the card in the phone from a computer through USB (android is configured as USB mass storage device), I can only access the FAT32 partition. My question: Android seems to be exposing only the first partition as a block device through USB. Therefore I can't access the second partition, or even see it with partitioning tools. Obviously, booting from it also doesn't work. Can I make Android to expose the full SD card as a block device through USB, so that all partitions are visible from a computer and I can boot on it. Any help or pointers appreciated, thanks!


Battery life indicator has failed

A week or two ago my battery life indicator for my Motorolla Atrix 4G has ceased to working properly. The indicator indicates the battery drains ridiculous fast and it's inaccurate. I'll fully charge it and after unplugging it for an hour or so, the indicator is down to 1%. It remains at 1%, though, for up to a day. Taking steps to avoid draining my battery is a separate discussion that doesn't have to do with this topic. I specifically need to know what I should do about an inaccurate battery life indicator. Is there a way to reset the indicator? Should I contact Motorolla or is this a software issue? Thanks in advance! Edit: The first thing I tried was replacing the battery with a new one. This did nothing to resolve the problem.


Location History Accuracy?

Ok, I have a big problem! My fiance says he was at lunch while google location history shows that for over an hour he was in the hotel next door to the restaurant. He has a Galaxy 3. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/XIOjt.jpg) The dots at the bottom of the screen are from the restaurant and the dots up at the top are the hotel. None of the blue circles from the 2 locations run into one another either. How likely is it that this is inaccurate?


Google location history wildly inaccurate

I may have set a new world record in travel according to Google location history. I've noted that on Wed, 18th March 2014 I was in Sydney at 5:28pm, then in Sale Morocco at 6:06pm, then back in Sydney at 6:08pm. At this rate, I have travelled (according to google) 11,169 miles each way in about half an hour. Also, I note on the 20th March 2014 that I did it again, this time:   5:25pm Sydney   5:27pm Jakarta   5:29pm Sydney   5:31pm Jakarta   5:44pm Sydney Now I know that google uses GPS satellites, Wi-Fi networks and the Cell networks to locate my location, but can it get the language, country and continent wrong all at once?


Why does my android phone think it was in Japan?

According to google.com/locationhistory, I was in Tokyo in February. It could be that I had so much saké I'm forgetting something important, but as far as I know I've never been to Japan. Other questions on inaccurate location history seem mostly related to minor inaccuracies because of phone connecting to nearby WiFi points. But what technical issue could cause the location to be off by ~6000 miles? ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/BtH61.png)


Google Location history showing me in another continent? Did someone hack me?

I've just found out about Google Location history and it correctly displays all the places I've been to in Bolivia to-a-T. Really accurate. What concerns me is that there is a dot in Beking, Singapore! I've never been anywhere near that country. Not even 2000 miles near. ![enter image description here](http://i.stack.imgur.com/Pwdjk.png) My question is, if someone logged into my account from that country, would that dot load from there? Should I change my passwords ASAP? Thanks


HTC One Google Location History. Shoudl i be worried?

This question is regarding Google location maps. My Girlfriend recently travelled to San Francisco. The first picture shows a time stamp at her hotel. The next pictures shows her location to just down the street two hours later after she told me she was going to bed. then a couple hours later a little closer to her hotel and finally back at her hotel just before she had to leave for her plane departure at 7am. The first few pictures shows the blue dot pretty small and only covers the location pinged, but after a few second the blue dot grows and covers all three locations. I'm wondering if this is just her phone picking up on other Wi-Fi signals. It got me a little worried so I looked at the prior week when she was with me and throughout the entire night it shows her at my place and no where else, it also doesn't show any updates in the middle of the night. My other question is, when does Google maps location know to log your locations? when phone is turned on, messages coming on? Is this something I should be questioning or worried about with her based off these findings? She has an HTC one ![](http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/ag426/andrew_gonzalez2/photo1_zpse094292f.jpg) ![](http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/ag426/andrew_gonzalez2/photo4_zpsdde305c0.jpg) ![](http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/ag426/andrew_gonzalez2/photo3_zps871d9e0c.jpg) ![](http://i1374.photobucket.com/albums/ag426/andrew_gonzalez2/photo2_zps01f90155.jpg)


Google maps location History is placing me in a different hotel

My wife thinks that when I am on a business trip I stay at a different hotel than I told her, I stayed at a bar all night and left my car at the corporate office over night. All of this is from looking at Google location history. From reading questions and answers posted here I think that I have some understanding of what is going on. Please review my explanation and critique/correct. I need to be able to explain it to my wife so that it makes sense to her and gives some credibility to my explanations. My understanding of how Google location history works:   * Location services uses GPS, Wifi and cell I.D. to formulate your location.   * In order to save power it will use the least power hungry of the three options for determining your location.   * If your location is within the blue circle then Location history will not change your location i.e. show you in a restaurant all night if your hotel is also within the blue circle.   * Location services doesn't necessarily show your exact route... It will show a Wifi hotspot or cell tower that it "hits" and the "route" that you use will include these various locations. These locations will show that you have been to a variety of places that you never visited. Thank you for you help. It is very important to my wife and I that we get this cleared up.

How can I change the lock screen on my Galaxy Note 2?

I got myself a new note 2 last night, and I'm trying to configure it. It's my first android device, so I'm not sure how the system works in some respects. I came from Windows Phone 7, and there were a few nice features on that phone that I find I'm missing - namely the ability to see upcoming calendar events on my lock screen, as well as the number of emails/texts/whatever I have waiting, and the number of calls that I missed. I found a couple of potential lockscreen apps on google play, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to enable them. There appears to be no option in my settings. Using android 4.1.2 - don't know if that's the latest version available for me, but I did update last night, presumably from 4.0.


Kiosk mode Android 4.1.1

Automatically Install apps after factory reset

I'd like to know how I can set up my android 4.1.2 (Galaxy S2 I 9100) that it will install all my apps in the Play Store (the one you can see when you click "my apps").   I think it was CM 10.1 where it worked sometimes and in stock rom I did not noticed it.   Is there a way to configure my Galaxy S2 so I don't have to install the apps manually?   I hope I asked clearly enough ;)   Thanks so far !      Edit: I reseted my phone, logged into samsung account to google account.   I always allowed to back up and restore my data. But the apps haven't been installed automatically.   And that was the only thing I tried. I did not try any ADB recoveries. And I did not use any backup third party apps or the stock rom backup.   I hope this information is enough. I fnot please tell me what information you additionally need!   Thank you again!


Continue using app after developer refunds purchase?

I'm an app developer and wondering about refunding purchases. I use Google's standard License Check library. If a user requests a refund and I refund the entire purchase price, does that prevent them from passing the license check? Or do they get to keep using the app after I refund the money?


SHARP Aquos 104sh, listen to YouTube with the backlight off?

I'm on 4.0.3, trying to listen to music. YouTube is destroying my battery life. I always need to charge my phone at work. If I save the battery, I can work more efficiently, though. Any way to have the best of both worlds? On iPhone, you can double tap home and press the play triangle, but that doesn't work on my smart phone. Any ideas?


Upgrade Cyanogenmod from 9.1 to 10.1 without losing information?

I am running Cyanogenmod 9.1 on my Samsung Galaxy SII, and would like to upgrade to version 10.1. Is there a way to do this upgrade without wiping all my apps and settings from my phone? If not, is there a good backup strategy (what should I backup, and how) for relatively easy restoration after upgrading the Cyanogenmod rom? Thank you.


How to edit init.rc in Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300?

I would like to edit the init.rc in an i9300. I understand that editing the file as-is will not work as the file is reloaded from the boot image's ramdisk upon every bootup. After some googling, I read that I have to unpack, edit and repack the boot image. I came across the following link: http://android- dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO%3a_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images However, upon trying out the first command "cat /proc/mtd", I realize that my i9300 doesn't even have a /proc/mtd, so I'm wondering if any of the instructions there apply to this device. /dev/block shows mmcblk0p1 to mmcblk0p12, but I'm not sure which one is the boot image. From my googling it seems that mmcblk0p6 is the recovery image though. How can I edit the init.rc in this device? Thanks!


Will the AT&T HTC Aria Froyo (2.2) official upgrade solve the Bluetooth reset issue? will it allow free tethering as the unofficial 2.2?

Hi I couldn't wait and dowloaded the 2.2 upgrade for my AT&T HTC Aria just to find out the official one came one a few weeks later. The only reason I want to upgrade is the Bluetooth reset bug (phone reboots / resets after walking away from a bluetooth source, e.g. when I exit the car while using Vlingo (with car handsfree), my phone resets! **So my quetions are**   1. What is the best way to solve the Bluetooth reset issue? Will the official upgrade fix it?   2. Assuming most chances it will, will it hurt my phone in any way? (will it unroot it? will it block tethering?)


Is it possible for my HTC Desire to interupt my iPod when I receive a call?

I frequently miss incoming telephone calls because I am listening to my iPod Touch and I don't feel it vibrate. Does anyone know if it's possible for my HTC Desire to somehow notify me of the call via my headphones? I've seen bluetooth connection devices that purport to do this (such as the GEAR4 BluEye), but they are several years old now. However given that this kind of hardware exists, and that the Desire and the iPod Touch have Bluetooth built-in, I wondered if there was an app or setting that would enable the phone and iPod to work together in this way?

Why does my calendar always open to the wrong date?

I'm using the native calendar app that came installed on my HTC Sensation. No matter which view I use (one day, week, month, or agenda) it always opens to a date about two weeks in the past. Even when creating new events, the initial date is incorrect. I've seen this question, which isn't exactly the same as my issue, plus it's almost 2 years old. I'd prefer not to have to use a third-party app for calendaring, and everything else about the calendar is fine (syncs correctly, displays multiple accounts' data.) It's just annoying to have to scroll through two weeks of data or date-picker tumblers to get to today. Has anyone else run across this? Is there anything I can do to fix it? I'm running Froyo on a rooted (but not custom-rommed) phone.


batch processing SNB files

I am running Android 4 on SAMSUNG Galaxy Note 10,1, and using the S Note app, Is there a way to process multiple SNB files at once? For example, S Note can export 1 SNB to PDF but not multiple, but it would be better if there's also a way to export multiple SNBs to a single PDF


Phone SMS to Display Google Voice Num?

I am using Galaxy S3 with t-mobile. I use Google Voice for my number, and have the phone set to automatically use GV to call. I setup Google voice to forward SMS. Everything works fine with the exception of when I want to sent a new SMS, of course using the phone's SMS app. How can I get GV to appear as the number from which the sms originated?


AT&T Galaxy SIII / Windows 7 64bit AMD/ Cannot mount USB drive

I just want to transfer files between my new cell phone and my new computer. I have been on the phone with both AT&T and Samsung tech support for two days. No joy. I and they have tried dozens of combinations of running Kies, Developer Debug Mode, pull the USB cord now, put it back in now... on and on. One guy had me yank the battery, "NOW!" I also called a magic phone number `*#7284#`, which is actually a backdoor into a settings menu. I have also tried following some suggestions here on android.stackexchange. All I want is for it to work like a USB memory stick. Plug it in, and there are my files in a Windows Explorer folder. Dream on,right? The USB port on the PC worked for a Galaxy SII before the phone quit working completely. The cable is fine. But I tried other USB ports and other cables anyway. Question 1. Can this be right? On a 64 bit Windows 7 OS? Is it supposed to be in system32? ![Is it supposed to be in system32?](http://i.stack.imgur.com/VtUZu.png) Question 2. Does the fact that the drivers without MTP in the name load okay indicate that the hardware on the phone is working? Question 3. Anyone know of a backdoor that will allow me to mount at least the add-on SD card like a plain ol' external drive? I'll bet there is one. Question 4. If all else fails, is there another (non-Samsung) Android phone with camera lenses on both sides that I might want to get instead? UPDATE: I removed all SAMSUNG drivers from my PC. Reinstalled latest and greatest (1.5.6.0, which showed 1.5 million downloads). I did a factory reset on the phone. Rebooted everything. Tried again. No joy. I let Windows install drivers from the net. Still no joy.

How can I make new/separate folders in the gallery?

I recently had some issues with my LG Marquee and had to copy the SD Card's contents to my PC, then put those contents onto a new SD Card to salvage my media content(photos, videos, apps, etc.) When I inserted the new SD Card with my content on it, my phone took the content but it all (all 3,548 items) were placed into _one_ single folder in my Gallery. My question is: **How can I separate/organize these items into new and separate folders in the Gallery?** Is there a specific way on my phone that I can do this, or do I need to download a photo organizing app? If so, what photo organizing apps are safe and secure? Thank You!


How can I ask the navigation for a fastest route (after traffic)

I recently started a job on a long commute. The default route provided by Google Maps Navigation is always the same route. After some double length commutes, I started checking the alternate routes button. Sometimes one of those routes is faster. Is there any way I can get the app to give the the fastest route, taking traffic into account?

Scanning with Android

There are a few apps that seems to act like document scanners? How do they work? Is it more than a lot of posprocessing of one shot? Are they actually "scanning" or utilizing more several shots? What kind of phone specs do I need to have quick and reliable document scanning?

Is it possible to track what information on your phone an app is uploading?

If you are concerned about what information an app is sending about you (your privacy concerns) is there any way of tracking this? Can you see if an app is sending photos on your phone? Can you see if it is sending the text that you type in it? In general can you log the information that an app (application) sends over the network from your phone? Would it be readable? Or at least should it be readable?


No network after installing CM7 on Xperia Arc

After successfully installing CM7 on Xperia arc by following the steps here, my phone doesn't pick up any network. I looked through the forums and see that some people have reported the same problem. I downloaded the stable image from CM home page for Xperia arc. After scouring through xda-developer forums I came across this new ROM for arc, does it solve the problem? http://forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310313 Also found these in the forums, http://forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102523&page=127#1263 which essentially says,   1. Use flashtool to flash baseband_36 (.tft)   2. Use fastboot to flash cm7 custom kernel (boot.img)   3. Use recovery to flash the rom (wipe cache & factory reset then flash the rom)   4. Start your phone and go to apps menu   chose "Dev tools" -> Bad Behavior -> Crash the system server -> reboot I am using linux and couldn't make sense of the first step to flash the file. Any help on solving this problem would be very helpful.


Record phone calls

Is there a way to record phone calls? I tried some apps that appeared to work but it seems these only record thru the mic, ideally it should work with headset and earphones too but it doesn't and the sound quality is really poor and buggy. Is there a market leader for this purpose? I want to automatically record all calls and preferably automatically save them to Dropbox, Skydrive or Google Drive. I have Samsung Galaxy S. ## Update I tried all the phone recording apps and none work. ## Update Why is something simple so difficult? I tried all the phone recording apps and none work. They don't even look good. This feature lacks support and it is important. We are many users who need to record phone calls. Why can't we?

What is the difference between Widget and program that can be added to the home screen?

When I hold the home screen on a spot a set of options appears to add to Home. Two of these options say **program** and **widget**. To add my calendar app which syncs with my google calendar I had to use widget on the home screen. To add my task app which syncs with my google tasks, I added a program to the home screen. What is different from a Widget and a program. They both must be programs. Is a widget something which is dynamic all the time, and loads on boot so the viewer can see it on the home screen live and updated like a clock?


Downgrade 2.3.6 to 2.2.2 - Nexus One

I would like to downgrade my Nexus One to 2.2.2, because I've had non-stop problems with Gingerbread. I have the 2.2.2 update from android central, and going off the comments from a previous question, I'm under the assumption that this is doable. So I've gone through the Bootloader -> Recovery -> apply sdcard:update.zip steps, and it fails with the following message:               assert failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.1/FRG83D/75603:user/release-keys" || file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.2/FRG83D/91102:user/release-keys"          E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip     (Status 7)     Installation aborted.      I would guess the OS is checking if I'm on either 2.2.1 (updating from the previous version) or 2.2.2 (reinstalling the target version), is this assumption correct? This begs the question, how do I go from 2.3.6 to 2.2.2? Do I need to factory reset, and apply updates sequentially?


Bluetooth AVRCP only device

Is there a Bluetooth device I can use with my Android phone which has nothing more than previous, play/pause, and next track buttons? There are many AVRCP Bluetooth devices, but they are all also A2DP sinks, which I do not want - I plug my phone's headphone output into my car's aux input. Ideally, I'd like something I can mount to the steering wheel so I can change tracks without trying to find the button on my touchscreen. Alternatively, could I buy a small A2DP/AVRCP device like this and configure Android to not send audio, but still respond to the track controls?

"App Data" Sync & "App Data" Backup both are same?

May be its silly but I'm curious to know the actual fact. I searched google and this site a lot but didn't got satisfiable result. So asking. There is "App Data" sync in Settings->Accounts->Google There is also Backup My Data in Settings->Backup & Reset   1. Are they same?? I know that if I flash my device then all apps I get by restore. how its being done??   1. one of my app after restoration asked me to update. "SMS Backup & Restore" if Google restores by installing from Google play why after restoring it wants to update?? last update date of that app in Google play was older than today's date. So it seems that Google installed an older version of the app though there is a new version   2. So do Android uploads whole binaries and app local data to the Google server from the device?? or Google tracks which apps were last installed in the device & just re installs those last installed apps according to version from Google play??


folder not visible

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, running Android 2.3. I have folder named `usbStorage`. After the firmware to latest version (via Kies), I can't see the `usbStorage` folder. When I mount the storage via USB mass storage mode, I can see that folder with all my content. I tried to copy some files in that folder, but no luck. When I connect the phone to MTP mode, I can see the folder but it's empty. Is there a way to get back that folder? I can move all my content to another folder, but then I need to rewrite my applications that depend on that.


Unix domain sockets between host and emulator

I have my server on the host while the client is part of a library that emulator's software stack will make use of. The Android stack is not able to find the socket stream file that I have specified which happens to be on the host's filesystem. Now, before you say "port forward", I have tried that and this is what I have tried based on my understanding of the `abd forward` command. I have not had success in this. Could you guys please point out the mistake and help me?               adb forward localfilesystem:/tmp/android_socket localfilesystem:android_socket      The path used in the host is `/tmp/android_socket` and that in the Android emulator is "android_socket"


Even after a factory reset the nexus 7 won´t work!

I´ve tried the latest Android update into my Nexus 7 (1º gen) tablet. Something went wrong in the middle of the process (it was something to do with the software, because the battery was full and the wifi wa working). I had to restart the tablet, and after that I just couldn´t get to any app. Every single app or thing that I tried to use just would "unexpectedly" shut down. And after trying to shut down and on again the tablet, it was locked into the welcome screen (after the "Google" logo). The tablet wasn´t rooted in any way. After a lot of reading and after searching on the net, I´ve found that the only way to use the tablet again was to do a factory reset. I´ve done it. (One weird thing: it doesn´t appear the original "X" signal when initializing the thing, but the newest "bubble like" screen). **But even in that case, I still get freezed into the welcoming screen. And even if sometimes I get to enter the tablet, I can´t use the keyboard (trying to type any number will freeze the screen) and I cannot enter the settings screen.** **Even if (after the factory reset) I can access the tablet, I can´t access the settings screen (so I can´t change any default, nor I can enter the "developers" tab in order to access the tablet in debug mode with my PC).** **Is there anything I can do?** I´ve even tried completely discharging, without any luck (it does the same after charging it again). Since then, I´ve tried the "factory reset" several times, and the problem remains.


How can I make Llama use different volumes anyway, despite 4.0+ supposedly not allowing this?

My Samsung Galaxy S 5 allows the ringer and notification volumes to be different. Despite this, Llama is complaining that Android 4.0+ does not allow different volumes, and is giving me the options to "Use volumes anyway", "Moan to Google", or "Make volumes the same". I decide to use the volumes anyway, and end up with both a ringer and notification volume of one, instead of a ringer volume of five and a notification volume of one. How can I circumvent this?


Nexus 7 Incredibly Slow

Over the past few weeks, my Nexus 7 running 4.2 Jelly Bean has gotten incredibly slow at times. Sometimes I can count off a full five (or more) seconds for an app to open or even for something as simple as scrolling from one home screen to another. I've had the device for three or four months and it just recently started giving me problems. I hadn't installed anything new prior to noticing the problem and everything that I have installed came from the Play store, so it should all be safe. Rebooting the device does not seem to help. What can I do to diagnose and hopefully fix this problem? This is my first Android device so I don't even really know where to start.


Google music not syncing on Nexus S

I received my invite to Google Music a couple weeks ago. I've been using it in the browser since then. My Nexus S however, refuses to sync music. Some people on the web report the same problem but it always fixes for them after awhile or after they do one of the following steps which have not worked for me. The settings menu simply does not appear in the Music App which would allow me the option to sync music. I have tried the following things to no avail with exception of factory reset which I do not want to do.   * The Sync Music option is not available in Accounts and Sync so the problem is not that this is not turned on as the option isn't even there.   * I have uninstalled updates and re-downloaded the updates and that didn't help.   * I have cleared application data and that didn't help. I've probably tried other stuff too that I can't remember, and FYI, I'm using Google Apps so I don't know if this is a piece of the problem as well.


How can I turn off android market sync while roaming?

I had an issue with an travel now. I turned off sync on my android device and urned on data while roaming. I expected that no sync would occur while in this setting, but suddenly the automatic marketing updates turned in and before I could turn it off it had downloaded a large number of MB's of automatic upgraded apps at a ridiculous rate. I find it terrible hard to believe that Google has let this issue slip? Is this a known issue with Android or a bug?


How to use "drag & drop" on websites?

I use the adroid stock-browser and I'd like to play chess using e.g. http://www.shredderchess.de/schachproblem-des-tages.html Unfortunately you have to drag and drop the pawns. I tried several gestures, but I was not able to use the drag and drop feature. Do I have to change any options (where?) or should I use a different browser?


Droid Bionic loses all data connectivity (Wifi & 3G/4G) intermittently. Software or hardware issue?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  Why does the 3G connection drop issue happen on all Verizon 4G LTE > handsets? Periodically (a few times a week), my Droid Bionic (stock Gingerbread 2.3.4) will lose access to all data services (Wifi, 3G/4G) for no apparent reason. The only sure way out seems to be powering the phone off and restarting it, although the last time I tried using Sleep instead of power off it did reset. When it goes out, the only icon in the notification area is the signal strength "bars" area, which goes white. No 3G/4GLTE, or Wifi icon is present. How do I determine if this is a Gingerbread issue or a hardware issue with my phone?


Do I need to (re-)partition my SD card for app2sd to work?

I have a rooted HTC Hero, currently running VillainRom (Android 2.1). I want to install FroydVillain (Android 2.2), which supports app2sd, but I'm not sure whether I need to repartition my SD card before I install 2.2 and if yes, how, if I want app2sd to work. Any ideas?


Best Wi-Fi Performance Doesn't Do Anything

In wireless options there is such setup, but it does not do anything. It doesn't increase coverage or signal. And i think it does not consume more power. Why? Because this option does not apply itself in my opinion. Maybe a bug? Htc Desire S Android 2.3.3


Add static IP settings to custom rom

I'm trying to store default static ip settings in a custom rom. I write the SSID and Password to /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and that works well for Wi-Fi But how do I add the static IP settings (gateway, fixed ip) for Wi-Fi (and Ethernet)?


Is there a podcast app that can download podcasts so that they're available to the stock music player

I'm looking for a podcast app that will just run in the background, download new episodes when necessary and make these episodes available to the default music player. I like to access my music and my podcasts in the same place and don't really like the idea of using separate apps to listen to podcasts and the rest of my music.

Nexus One can boot only with USB fastboot

After making some changes to my Nexus One, I can't boot it normally, but I can boot it with USB fastboot, like this:               $ cd 1.0-GRI40-nexusone-superboot     $ ./fastboot-linux boot boot.superboot.img      How do I make it work so that it can boot up by default, without an USB cable connected and the fastboot command issued on my PC?

Music just won't play loud enough on Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500

On my Macbook Pro, iTunes lets me take advantage of my Sennheiser HD 380 headphones. I can lift the sound as loud as I like. On my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500, I just can't get near as loud a response from my headphones. It's very quiet. (How can my computer's operating system give me far greater feedback than the Android operating system on my phone?) Please advise how I can achieve the same sound quality with the Android OS. Thank you.


Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos not embedding GPS information in Photos

My Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos is not embedding GPS information(Latitude/Longitude) in Photos taken from the phone camera. I have enabled GPS option in main settings, and also set the GPS tag in the camera settings. The latitude and longitude information is not appearing in the photo details. I do not wish to enable the "Mobile Data" option. I do not need the location information like place name, etc... I only need latitude and longitude information. What other setting am I missing?


Site Specific browsers on android

Are are there any site specific browsers for android ? We want to allow accessing our web based ERP and nothing else.

Alternatively Can i lock down Chrome on android to open only one website in the URL bar ?


App2SD on rooted asus memo pad 10 me102a

I have a memo pad 10. Its has 8gb of storage, but only "4.5gb available for user", which is too small. I downloaded "NFS: Most Wanted" data, and after extracting, it's 1.7gb!

How can I move apps and their data to external sd? I tried gl2sd, move2sd enabler, link2sd, app mgr iii. None of them worked. * * * I'm not a noob in android, and I know a lot of the concepts. But I'm a noob in English, so please use easy words for me!
