How can I force-link a Google contact with a Facebook profile?

Back when my HTC Desire had its stock Sense, there was an option to link Facebook accounts to Google contacts, by selecting them from the Facebook friends list. This created fields for my contacts such as:               <HTCData>     <Facebook>id:02394985720/friendof:2103910923|id:123768123/friendof:09812387</Facebook>        </HTCData>      Now, my phone is on CyanogenMod 7. I've added a Facebook account under Synchronization settings, but it seems it only matches contacts who have the same name as their Facebook counterpart. Those who are matched get a Facebook profile link: ![](http://i.stack.imgur.com/o7KgE.png) The other ones aren't linked. Therefore: **How can I force link a Google contact with a Facebook profile?** This would allow me to link contacts even if their names are different. I'm aware of this question: how to link contact with facebook, gmail etc?, but there is no "Join" option for me, and it isn't really answered as well. I'm also aware of SyncMyPix.

Manage specific cookies in Browser?

I would like to manage cookies in the Android browser beyond just "Clear cookie data". What I want to do, ideally, is have the ability to delete individual cookies from a list sorted by domain name, like Firefox on the desktop. At least, I would like to be able to clear cookies per-domain, as I can manage storage & location access per-domain. Is there a way I can do this? **EDIT** How about with a rooted phone?

Can't boot because of deleted com.android.launcher2

Stupid me deleted the **com.android.launcher2** apk file (located in _system/app_ ) thinking that my tablet will boot with another launcher I installed and now it doesn't boot up (gets stuck in loading screen). Now, the tablet's chinese, so I haven't installed a custom bootloader. I can only get to recovery mode. I have a backup of everything, (made with an app) on my external SD card, so I did a fac reset (and a cache one), just in case. It did't work. So now: **I need to manually copy a file in system/app via system recovery, without a Custom Bootloader.** I tried making a custom update.zip, with launcher2.apk in it by I get an error "Installation aborted" right after it starts authenticating it. Is it possible to copy that file without having a custom bootloader, or is there another way to do this (adb commands). PLEASE help me, I'm really frustrated right now.

VPN install enforces screen lock

I was trying to install a VPN on my phone and somehow I added a screen lock. I cannot turn it off now. When I go to lock screen, select screen lock, enter my pin and next it takes me to the screen select screen lock. I should be able to tap on 'None' to deactivate the screen lock, but its greyed out and I can't tap it. Any ideas, its driving me crazy. I'm using a Lg Optimus l5 (lg-e612).


Some of the Applications are getting downloaded more than once from Android Market

I observed one funny thing. I have the habit of installing the applications directly from Android market on PC. How to install the Apps directly from PC ?   Ans: I have a Google Account. I open the https://market.android.com/ site on PC and login with my Google Account. I have set this Google Account as Primary Google Account in my Android Phone. Now if I Click on Install of any application on my PC, I can see the same application downloading on my phone's notification bar. I saw the application 100% downloaded. And I wait for the application to be installed. Of course after downloading the application my phone will automatically installs the application. We need to watch thats it. But most of the apps are getting downloaded more than once. I don't know why it is happening ? I saw the application downloaded 100%. But again starts a fresh download without doing anything. I remember while updating the Google Maps and Facebook had the same issue.


Google+ not working with proxy server since last update

Google+ on my device has stopped working since the last update. Every time, I get the message: `Can't load data. Check your connection`. All apps other than Google+ work absolutely fine. My device details are as follows:   **Model:** Google Nexus 7 (2012)   **OS:** Android 4.4.2   **Google+ Build version:** 4.2.3.56698342 **Edit** : I use a Wifi on a proxy server for connection, and that's when the problem arises. When on a direct connection, the app works fine. But on proxy server, it has stopped working since the last update. Prior to this update, the app worked fine even on a proxy server.


How to keep the screen from going blank or locking for particular application

Edited question: Google Navigate app does have the logic to keep the screen from locking or backlight from switching-off, but a corporate BYOD software suite, I've had to install as my employer's policy, seems to lock-screen if an 'unknown application' is keeping screen unlocked/lit with no other activity detected (touch mostly!), after a timeout. Navigate is not on this software's goodbooks... So I was wondering if there is any app that can help me keep the backlight on and avoid the screen locking for google navigate ? I am on Android JB 4.2 if that matters.

Display timout resets to 15 seconds occasionally

Hi on my SGT the display timout resets to 15 seconds occasionally. I can't reproduce this behavior but it seems that this reset happens at every reboot at least and sometimes when connecting/disconnecting the powersupply. Can someone tell me how to have this setting fixed again at 10 minutes? If it helps, the phone is rooted, but I am not sure if this problem occurred already before root. At least unrooting did not help. Also I have my battery saving software let the settings back to default and then deinstalled, did not help either.


How can I recover the files in LOST.DIR on my SD card, and what are they?

I've always had a LOST.DIR folder on my external SD card, which until now has been empty. Today my phone complained that my SD card was damaged and wouldn't mount it, so I pulled it out and looked at it on my computer. There's now a `70237` file inside LOST.DIR which is 128 MB. It starts with something like "e<MSWIN4.1", seemingly to indicate that it's a dump of a Windows 98 FAT boot sector (which makes no sense). What did Android dump here and and why? (I think I may have disconnected my phone from my PC yesterday without ejecting the drives first, so that might be the "why", though it was from Windows XP and not Windows 98.) Is there a simple way to recover the information in this file?


Lost.Dir....music keeps disappearing

I recently got a new phone, so I inserted the card into it without formatting it first. I had about 3000 songs and about 75 videos on the card. Once inserted, the phone read all of my files without any problems. Day 3 of having the new phone, I woke and and discovered all of my videos and a HUGE number of my songs were missing. I put all of the songs back onto the sd card (well all the ones that I knew were missing). To make a long story short: every time I set up a playlist of music on my phone, I check `LOST.DIR` and discover a lot of songs have been stored there. I recently formatted my card and put all 3000+ songs on there and set up another playlist and once again, it removed some of my music. What is going on there, and what can I do to fix this?


My device is getting slow, apps start misbehaving/crashing. What can I do?

Everything was working fine for a long time. But suddenly the device is getting slower than usual (e.g. apps react slowly when starting an action -- like the RSS reader takes "ages" to open an article). Also, several apps start crashing: force-closes as well as unexpected restarts. Sometimes this even involves some automatic reboot of the device. Is there anything I can do, besides doing a factory-reset? Preferably it should work on un-rooted devices. Remark: not all described problems may occur together, so on one device e.g. there might be no automatic reboot involved. Question remains the same, nonetheless.


Why does my Samsung Galaxy S keep crashing/slow performance?

> **Possible Duplicate:**   >  My device is getting slow, apps start misbehaving/crashing. What can I do? I have a Samsung Galaxy S which I've had for less than a year now. It has been working fine until the last couple of weeks, when I've noticed the performance slowing down. I don't use many apps, but lately I've downloaded a few games and whatnot. One particular recent issue is that whenever I access the keypad to call someone, it closes down automatically without letting me finish typing out the number. Other problems include: mobile internet crashes systematically every other night (when I use it the most); the FB app force closes automatically and since FB is an integral part of Zynga games, my Words with Friends is almost inaccessible because of FB crashing. Anyone else with similar problems? I know HTC issues an automatic software update, but why haven't I heard of anything for Samsung? Any help would be appreciated.


Galaxy Note II slow due to lack of memory?

I have a Galaxy Note II and it's too slow due to low memory, I bought a 16 GB memory card and it still is slow, what to do?


Some apps closing, crashing, some not starting, flashing

I can very well see in the _Settings > Applications > Manage Applications_ screen that internal memory (ummm I think thats the ROM) of my phone is almost filled up. Although I can see in Running Services screen that more than 150MB of RAM is still free. My device started giving this behavior.   * some apps crash automatically   * Some apps does not start at all. When I click on them they simply simply flash the screen   * Some games after loading and showing the menu and main screen animation, when I click on Play or Start new game, it does not do anything Now I stuck with this ROM fill up. I have moved all apps that I can move to SD card through AppMgr Pro III (App 2 SD). But still many apps have some footprints in internal memory (or ROM??) since I can still see them in the _Manage Applications_ screen. Why is it so? What could be the other way out, apart from uninstalling unused apps.


Android had a native email client? Why/when was it removed?

I'm reading the description of K-9 Mail, and it has the following, emphasis added: > K-9 is an opensource email client **based on the Email application shipped > with the initial release of Android**. However, I cannot find any email applications already installed in my stock Google Galaxy Nexus (sans the Gmail app). Was it removed from the later versions of Android? When and why was it removed?


Using busybox telnet, teminal emulator and ubuntu

Installing Redir (and other binaries) to Android

I'm trying to get my phone to redirect all traffic from the Wifi/3G radios, since some apps won't even run if Wi-fi isn't turned on, to the USB Ethernet interface. I figure using redir would work, but my lack of deep *unix knowledge is and has been a struggle. Google hasn't been of much help in this regard, having only guides on Linux platforms with full package explorers and no (from what I've found) guides on doing any of this from a command line without apt-get. So, even though I'm only trying to install redir for now, I'd like a good place to go to understand how binary installation is done, specifically for Android.

Can I update my Galaxy Nexus manually?

I'm having a problem with music playback stutter on my Galaxy Nexus, and after searching about it for a while it seems the problem was fixed on update 4.0.4. Unfortunately, my phone is still on 4.0.2 and no OTA Update is currently available. From past experiences with my Milestone, updating or using a ROM that was not originally from my country (Brazil) resulted in various problems, including no 3G connection and very poor GPS signal. Is it possible to actually update the Galaxy Nexus manually from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4? If yes, is there a way to know which "version" of the system would be compatible with mine? Here's the "About Phone" tab on settings: http://i.stack.imgur.com/0VZhk.png

Prevent volume rocker from disabling silent mode

On my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, everytime I bump the volume rocker the phone comes out of silent mode. I hate this. The only way I want my phone going into or coming out of silent mode with a hard button is by holding the power until the modal shows up. Is there any way to prevent the volume rocker from knocking the sound back on when in silent mode?


Remote control my android

My ideal usage is being able to play videos, pause, select new media, watch online videos (youtube, vimeo, etc) and listen to music (hype machine, soundcloud, bandcamp, etc), as well as use music and video apps.


How to copy the current URL in Chrome?

I was sure in the version prior to 18.0 you could fiddle around and long press on the URL in the address bar and get a menu to copy the current URL. I just updated Chrome, now if I long press it I just get the magnifying glass which is incredibly frustrating. How can I copy the current URL to the clipboard in the Chrome browser?

Stop a mailbox syncing between 9am and 5pm

I have my work emails set up on my LG G3, but when I'm at work I don't want to be getting notifications on it whilst getting them on my laptop as well. Is there a way to stop a mailbox from syncing for a particular period? E.g., from 9am to 5pm? I still want my other accounts to sync and notify me though, like my personal/other work email addresses. Is there an app that can handle this? I've just come from an iPhone 4s (yesterday) so I'm still getting my head around the Android ecosystem.

Google accounts on my Galaxy S4

I would like to get rid of one of my Google accounts since I don't use it anymore. Currently I have both my Google accounts (gmail, Google+..) on my phone (Galaxy S4, had to link/transfer data from my old phone to my new) and all pictures and information and such gets saved to the old account I don't want to use anymore. But I still have some important emails on the old account as well as some contacts and such which I would like to keep. **Can these be transferred to my other Google account which I wanna keep and have as my primary?** What do I have to do in order to get rid of this old account I don't longer need without losing the data (pictures, some emails, contacts) which are currently under that primary gmail/G+ account which I don't want anymore? Otherwise, is there an option to say "lock/disable" that old account so nothing gets send or saved to it anymore?


How do I change the spell check language independently from the hardware keyboard layout

I'm using an **Asus Transformer Pad Infinity** with a German (Swiss variant) hardware keyboard and with the standard Asus variant of Android version 4.2.1. On a regular basis I need to type in **both German and English** , so it would be nice to have spell checking in both languages. However, whenever I switch to English spell checking, then the tablet assumes I'm using an English keyboard layout and swaps keys around such as the `Y` and `Z` keys. Is there any way around this?

Unlock Screen with ADB Android 4.2

Previously with Android 4.1, doing something like:               adb shell input keyevent 82       #(KEYCODE_MENU)      would unlock the screen at first boot and would then allow further commands to launch applications and have them displayed on the screen, etc. With 4.2, within 10s of boot, the lockscreen dims to black. Issuing the same ADB command no longer works and the screen remains blank. If I manually press the menu key, this brings the screen back on, and I can then issue the keyevent to unlock the screen. Any ideas how I can bring the display back up from ADB and unlock the screen from there? Thanks

Unable to access Google Play

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Duos, and ever since I bought my cell phone, I am unable to access the Google Play Store due to the error message: > Authentication is required. You need to sign in to your Google Account. I had signed in my Google account already and have used it on my phone with other apps, like Talk, Gmail and etc. I have tried clearing the account and re-entering it, wiping out all the data and re-building a new account, and other possible solutions, but still my problem is there. My one possible guess is that it is due to the country I live in. It may be that Google has put some sanctions on my country, Iran. How can I get Google Play Store to work on my phone?


How to restore files on SD Card that was protected by Vault app?

Default Music Player randomly playing while headphones are plugged in

This is _INCREDIBLY_ annoying. While listening to music, the headphone will somehow trigger an unplug event (the connection is loose and very bad apparently). The default player will start to play, and sometimes it will just keep playing and pausing rapidly. Sometimes, Pandora will also constantly play and pause music. This is so frustrating it makes me just want to smash my phone to pieces for the junk it is. What can be done? I have used this answer here, but it doesn't fix the problem _while_ playing music. The only way I can hope to currently listen to music on my phone is to make sure the connection from the headphone (any headphone) isn't disturbed. My phone basically doesn't play music well at all any more which means no more Pandora/internet radio. **What can/should I do?** I am using a Droid X with the latest update 2.3.3. I believe this problem has been happening for a while. I bought the phone in October and it worked without this kind of problem for about 2-4 months. Am I the only one with this bug?

How can I restore the middle button functionality to get access to applications in my drawer?

Can apps be installed to or otherwise use the external SD card of the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0?

I have a Samsung Galaxy 2 7" wifi only tablet using ICS 4.0.3. Samsung states that all apps on ICS must run from internal storage (8Gb). I have a program that requires more storage for the data files than can fit in internal storage. I have a 32 Gb external microSD card installed with sufficient room for the data files. Is there a way for the app to be associated with the data files on my external storage card so that I can run the app?


Samsung Galaxy S 2 doesn't switch on or go into download mode , yellow triangle with exclamation mark

I had Galaxy S2 with Gingerbread kernel, I needed to upgrade it to ICS. I used Odin 3 v3.04 to download the ICS kernel (I9100) to the phone. I followed the following steps:   1. You start with the phone disconnected from the computer and switched off.   2. Start the SGS2 in download mode: you do this by pressing "Volume down", the "Home" button and the "Power" button at the same time. Don’t release them until the download mode screen appears (it looks totally different from the normal starting screen).   3. Follow the on-screen instructions: 'Continue' by pressing "Volume up".   4. Start Odin 3 on your computer.   5. Click on PDA and select the tar-archive containing the kernel you want to install.   6. DO ONLY check the option boxes "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time".   7. Connect the SGS2 to the PC via USB. The first field of "ID:COM" should turn yellow stating the COM Port of your device. Continue only after this has happened. It can take a couple of seconds.   8. Click `Start` and wait for the flashing process to finish.    9. After that it said "Reset", and I powered off the phone 10.When I switched on the phone Odin said Pass _**_*But now I have a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle, no switch on happening, not able to get into download mode also. _*_**

Automating "Stay Awake"

I use my personal Android smartphone for development. Every morning, I go to Settings \ Developer Options \ Stay Awake and check the box. At the end of the day, I uncheck the box — since otherwise any notification (including the "fully charged" one) will trigger the screen on, and it will stay on from that point on. How can these two operations be automated?

Do HTC widgets not work with ADWLauncher?

I've just installed ADW.launcher, which is a lot cleaner than the original HTC Sense homescreen, but I can't seem to get my Clock/Weather widget back. It's not appearing in the list of widgets. Is it just me, or do none of the HTC widgets work with ADW Launcher, or is it that the HTC widgets will only work with the HTC home screen? Alternatively, is there a decent clock app that displays digital time, and maybe weather too?

Galaxy S2 SPH-D710 Exchange ActiveSync Settings & Mail Disappear? 4.0.4 Sprint

I have a user with a Samsung Galaxy S2, 4.0.4 on Sprint. She said she took her son to senior photos and when she got back to her truck with her phone sitting on the console, all the Exchange Server settings for ActiveSync disappeared including her e-mails. She came into my office and we input the Exchange settings for company e-mail and was able to get her phone synced up again, but this is like the second time it has happened in about a month or so, any ideas? Thanks!


Does installing and re-installing my own app affect my app's rating/ranking?

I just released my first app not too long ago. To test it in the Play store, I installed my own app. After discovering some bugs, I uninstalled it, and installed the one I would code to fix from Eclipse. After fixing the bug, I post an update and re-install my own app from the store to test it out again. If I keep repeating this process (uninstalling and re-installing my own app from Google Play every time I release a new version), will my app's rating be degraded? Should I strictly stick to using my own app by installing the raw version (not the one on Google Play, but the one I built in Eclipse)? Thanks.

I see a lot of sites that focus on apps, but where are the sites that focus on widgets? For example, I'm trying to find an agenda widget that doesn't hurt my eyes, but it's really hard trying to sort out everything from a Google search. A widget gallery type of site would be nice.


How to exit from an application which doesn’t exit on press back button?

I am using Maverick application for GPS navigation. In previous versions the `back` button caused to quit the application. (Which is also correct behavior according to question: What is the right way to close apps in Android?)   Currently I have **Maverick 1.94** Lite. When I press the `back` button, Maverick only hides to background. (The same as if I pressed `home` button). I don't see anywhere in menu an option to exit.   I wish to avoid task killers, or switching of my phone in order to quit Maverick. How do I **exit** from Maverick? My phone is SK17i aka Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini pro.


Development App with Syntax Highlighting & Auto-completion?

I have been trying many applications for development, and am trying to find a good one with Auto-completion and Syntax highlighting. I know many offer Syntax Highlighting, but I am unable to really find any at all that have Auto-completion. My main focus if Web development, but I am also interested in Java development for android applications. So far, I know of a couple but they dont necessarily fit my needs right; Terminal IDE - This is really amazing. Gives you pretty much a full Bash terminal environment, with about everything you could need for Android Development and Web Development. with vim, javac, apkbuilder, and other useful stuff like htop, midnight-commander, etc. Its really unbelievable, but its a full 105Mb when unpacked. Which is pretty crazy. It takes up a ton of space, and being that I have a tiny amount of space on my internal memory, I cant always have it on my phone as its just too much. Its nice for android development, overkill for web development. Touchcode - I checked this out for a while, and its alright. but it doesn't seem to start auto-completion on 80% of the tags I type. I am not sure why. Otherwise it would be great. AIDE - (I believe it has Auto-completion, but I cant quite recall for sure.) VI iMproved Touch - its really great, I would love it, but I cant seem to get it to auto-complete during development. (Am I missing something here? Is there Syntax highlighting and Auto-completion that I just don't know about, or a certain keyboard combination to initialize it?) So is there any others that I am missing here? I am sure there have to be a couple of people here how use their android for a bit of web development here and there. Plus it is so hard to find IDE applications because when you type "HTML" all the results are mainly source viewers, "IDE" give AIDE, and a bunch of games, same with "Development". So the search function doesn't really help much on Google Play. Plus the most useful suggestions are always from others who have experienced something themselves. Any suggestions guys? Or an explanation on how to enable those features in Vi iMproved Touch? Thanks for your time guys. Take care everyone.


Force debug in safe mode via USB?

I did something so stupid I'm almost kind of proud of it. I rooted my LG Optimus T (Froyo) using Gingerbreak, cleaned out a bunch of stuff, and accidentally deleted the home screen launcher. No big, I'll just install a new one... but I have a chicken and egg problem now, that requires debug mode to get out of. I can't just open settings on my phone to set debug mode. And the phone only starts up in safe mode. So the tl;dr is this: I need to force my phone into debug mode via USB, in safe mode. If I can't do this, I will have to buy a new phone. Please help me!

Is there any working implementation of Google Docs on Honeycomb?

Simple question. I need to edit some Google documents on my EEE Pad Transformer with Honeycomb 3.2. I want few basic features.   * I want my changes to be displayed corectly in File/See revision history   * I want to be able to browse the file only with keyboard (that means up and down keys on the physical keyboard).   * I want to use my localized, non-US keyboard, which I have on Transformer and which works on most of the applications There were few ways people told me. None of them works.   * Google Docs in mobile version looks ugly on tablet, but mainly, I am **not able to browse the file with up and down keys**. Moreover, the cursor jumps like crazy, so I often delete some text accidentaly when I want to delete something else, and there is no undo in the whole thing.   * the application "Google Docs" in the market does the same thing.   * the external applications, like Documents to Go, which are paid, do work more sanely, but still, when I upload the document, it replaces the whole revision, so I don't see any changes in revisions, just one version replacing the other.The same thing happens when I remotely connect to my server with SSH and use the python API (yeah, I tried everything).   * the desktop version of Google Docs doesn't work **at all** , I can't enter single letter, no matter how hard I try. It looks beautiful, though, which is awesome. edit:   * what **sort of** works is opening desktop version of Google Docs in newest Firefox beta. However - for some reason, Firefox takes all keypresses as coming from US keyboard, while I have clearly selected localized keboard (which I have). So, is there any working implementation for Google Docs? I thought that because Android is from Google and Docs are from google, it will work seamlessly, but that doesn't seem to be the case.


Photos too large

I have Galaxy Xcover and when I take a photo of 2.3 resolution and try to send it to contact in text message, it says "Photo is too large. Packing up". Is there a way to send a picture that large or do I have to use smaller resolution while sending them?


Android screen rotation takes too long to get triggered

When I rotate my screen to 90 degrees, the screen rotates but it takes 3 seconds to start rotating. (This doesn't mean it rotates for 3 seconds. This means it waits 3 secs to starting rotation.) Can this be set in any property or any code related to do this setting? I understand that this might be related to the sensor sensitivity, please let me know how to configure this if you know how.


Some groups are not visible in my whatsapp

I am not able to see some of the groups for which, I am a member. My name appears in the group admin phone. But he is also not able to remove my name and again add it. Other group members cannot see my name in the group member list. So don't know, exactly what is the real problem. I have uninstalled Whatsapp in my Phone and re-installed it. but still the problem remains the same.(Still i cannot see some of the groups in my phone). Can you please find some way to come out of this?

How can I enable adbd during boot on Cyanogenmod?

I am stuck during the boot process, at first before entering the passphrase for `/data` and now at the SIM PIN screen. At this point, adb is inaccessible (normally adbd would start up after unlocking `/data`, etc.). How can I start `adbd` during boot? This is a CM 10.2 userdebug build for i9300 with `/default.prop` (from initrd) containing:               ro.adb.secure=1     ro.secure=1     ro.allow.mock.location=0     ro.debuggable=1     persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb      I have also tried the following to no avail:   * Edit `/init.rc`, comment out the `disabled` line for `service adbd`.   * Edit `/init.smdk4x12.usb.rc`, add `start adbd` to the `property:sys.usb.config=mtp` trigger.   * Add `persist.sys.usb.config=adb` to `/default.prop`


Physical placement of specific sensors in Google Nexus 7 (2012)

I am working on a project that requires me to know where specific sensors are physically located inside the device. I can estimate the location of NFC and light sensor (of course) but what about other sensors like magnetometer, g-sensor? If any of you know about the placement of specific sensors (doesn't have to be very precise) that would help me.


How does WhatsApp determine file names?

I would like to know how WhatsApp media files get their names. For example, today I received a file: `AUD-27082014-WA-00003.mp3`. It's funny because this is the first song I received today but it is labeled "00003". Where are the first two? Is the file number `WA-0000x.mp3` based on the sender / the recipient?


Tether from PC to android via USB

Is there a way to tether a PC's ethernet or WiFi connection to a Samsung Galaxy Fame using Jelly Bean 4.1?

My PC runs Ubuntu and Windows (Dual Boot) so either of these operating systems will work.


transfer music files to Nexus 4 from computer with Windows 7

I have a Nexus 4, and have tried - and failed - to transfer some music downloads (FLAC 16bit) from my Windows 7 computer. When I connect the phone, I can transfer the files and the computer tells me it succeeds, but I can't find any music on my phone. The alleged folder the music should go to is called `Internal Storage/Music`. Where is this folder on my phone?


Bootloop using Sony Xperia Arc S (LT18i)

Hey guys so I'm in boot loop. Yes I know there are many guides all over saying how to fix it but I have tried many of them and they didnt work. What happens is I start the phone, it shows the boot image and then restarts after a time. I can boot into the Recovery mode by spamming the back button when the Logo comes. And can install zip files from the SD card. I also have tried flashtool to restore it to stock but when i try flashing it detects my device "Device connected in flash mode" but when i try toflash it, it gives an error "Error flashing. Aborted". Any help?

Why do I only have 304 MB of available storage space?

I have AlphaRev Oxygen R2, 4Ext Touch Recovery, AN-Droid 2.2.0 with Android 2.3.3 on my HTC Desire. But I have only 304 MB of available internal storage space after the first boot up. Now I installed Shazam and it shrank down to 296 MB. Shouldn't this number stay the same when I install an app? I mean I have formatted my SD card in 4Ext and created a 2 GB Ext4 partition for apps. Are the apps being installed on internal memory anyway? How do I check that? And if so, how do I tell it to install to the SD-Ext partition instead? This ROM is supposed to come with integrated App2SD+. Ain't that right? If not, can you suggest another ROM that has integrated App2SD+ or tell me how to set it up manually? ![304 MB available](http://i.stack.imgur.com/qpfYH.png) I want memory, man!!

Is it possible to clear-default of an app using an ADB command?

Not sure if that's the place to ask this (maybe stackOverflow is better), but here we go: ## Background There are plenty of possible commands that you can perform by using ADB. I use many of them on my tiny **app-manager** alternative app. ## The problem I can't find a way to clears the default of a specified app. I mean the clearing of the app as the default one to handle some actions, as being shown on the "app-info" (AKA "manage-app") screen. ## What I've tried In the past, it seems that it was possible by having a certain permission and some API commands, but it's no longer possible. A possible workaround would be to disable&enable the app, but that causes weird things to happen on some other apps, for example launchers will remove the app's icon when it becomes disabled. I've also noticed a file on :               /data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml      that has some xml tags that include apps, and when I clear-default of an app, it is gone from this file. I don't think that playing with this file would be a good workaround, as things can change over time, and I don't even know if changing it will do anything, especially not in the current session. ## The question If there is no such a command? Is there any way to do it using root?


How can I access files on a Seagate GoFlex Satellite wifi or Kingston Wi-Drive?

My final goal is to programmaticaly access files on a Wifi/USB storage device, like a Seagate GoFlex Satellite wifi or Kingston Wi-Drive (preferred because less expensive). The storage devices are made to be connected to a PC by USB and also can be connected to Android (and iPhone) by wifi. Once connected, it is possible to put files on the hard drive over wifi using a custom Android application provided by the manufacturer (like Kingston Wi- drive or Seagate GoFlex Access™ app)? How do they do this? Can I access on my filesystem with program like Astro ?

Is my device moving apps to the SD Card or not?

I have the LG Optimus F6 and I used Towel Root (one-click root for lots of devices). When I download App To SD card applications, it says "Your device has no real internal storage and does not support moving apps to the SD card." When I go to Settings >> Storage >> Apps, however I see that some apps are on the SD Card (because you can't click it and it says "Move to Phone.") But then when i go to other apps it doesn't show that any apps are on the SD Card. What should I believe?


Bootloop on CM 10.1, freezes at wiping data

Device Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 gsm (p4, p7500) It started as an infinite bootloop, but it was loading on to CM 10.1 for a minute or two at first. So I decided to go back to previous nightly release and through the Settings quickly presed to install previous release. After that tablet just stopped botting and freezes at CM spinning logo. I have tried to wipe the data from recovery, but it stucks on formatting /data. I tried several times - everytime it stucks. I have updated CWM to 6.0.3.1 version, but it doesn't wipe either. As a last resort I have installed OEM samsung ROM, but it loads to samsung logo and doesn't load further. But I can still load into recovery, but now it is a stock recovery mode I guess, not a clockwork recovery mode. Any thoughts how to reanimate my tablet?

What's in Chrome's data?

I'm running stock 4.1.2 on a Wolfgang AT-AS43D4 (not rooted). According to _DiskUsage_ , I have about 755 MiB app storage in total, of which I have currently around 100 MiB free space left, so I try to keep the internal storage as empty as possible. I see Chrome taking up 94.4 MiB, (134 MiB after the latest update) of which about 24.3 MiB is data (up to 28 MiB by now). My question is twofold: What is in there? What does Chrome keep there that's ~~almost~~ over 25 MB big? How can I _selectively_ clean that? I can delete the data wholesale, but I don't want to. Is there any other way? I tried various options in Chrome, but couldn't find anything useful. * * * Edited: a previous version of this question mentioned an `insufficient memory` error. This had little to do with the question; I was conflating RAM and app storage.

Here a part of the logcat               12-03 00:18:23.370: DEBUG/WifiStateTracker(191): Reset connections and stopping DHCP     12-03 00:18:23.530: INFO/wpa_supplicant(15251): CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS  Ready     12-03 00:18:23.530: INFO/wpa_supplicant(914): CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS  Ready     12-03 00:18:23.530: INFO/wpa_supplicant(914): Trying to associate with 94:44:52:ef:dd:7c (SSID='Lambratone' freq=2412 MHz)     12-03 00:18:23.530: INFO/wpa_supplicant(914): CTRL-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE id=0 state=3     12-03 00:18:23.540: INFO/wpa_supplicant(268): CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS  Ready     12-03 00:18:23.540: INFO/wpa_supplicant(268): Trying to associate with 38:22:9d:fc:6d:20 (SSID='FASTWEB-1-38229DFC6D20' freq=2412 MHz)     12-03 00:18:23.540: INFO/wpa_supplicant(268): CTRL-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE id=0 state=3     12-03 00:18:23.550: INFO/wpa_supplicant(15251): CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED -

How are the gallery application edits applied to images?

I noticed today that if you apply filters or modify an image using the gallery application, it applies the changes to the image, rather than creating a new image with the changes. My first thought was that it was not a good idea. Sometimes you want to keep the original, untouched image, as well as the modified image, maybe for comparison purposes, or to try different filters or settings. In my case I was playing with the curves, and then I saved the image. I wanted to compare the new image with the original, but the original was gone. I decided to go back to the curves settings, and saw that the curves were still as I had set them, which means I can just restore the curve for each channel and that will give me back the original image. I decided to do a test with another image. I opened a new image, applied a filter from the preset filters, and saved the image. Then I went back to the image, and edited it again, but this time I removed the filter, and the image was back to normal. My first thought was that the gallery image applied non-destructive edits. Something similar to what some editing software does. The one that comes to mind is Shotwell, although this is more of a viewer than and editor, but it has some limited functionality to play around with the saturation, levels, and other settings. It didn't seem likely that the gallery application in adroid was doing that because other image viewing applications showed the image with the filter applied to it. I decided to connect the device to the computer using a USB cable. I navigated to the camera folder, and opened the image in the computer, and it showed the modified image. This means that the image is being modified. While the devices was still connected to the computer, I decided to remove the filter, and open the image again in the computer. The image was back to original. How is android able to modify the image file directly, and then restore it to original. Is it saving the original file somewhere else? > How to reproduce: > >   1. Open the Gallery application (the default one) >   2. Chose an image to edit, and touch the little pencil on the lower left > corner of the screen. >   3. Edit your image, touch the save button, or just press the back button. > It will ask if you want to save the image. Save it. >   4. Touch the pencil again, remove the filter. >   5. Your image is back to original. > Device: Nexus 7 OS: Android 4.4.2

A phone as a home 4G modem/router?

I live in a rural area where traditional cable, fiber, and even DSL are not a possibility. I am using a weird wireless system a local ISP set up for this area, but its flaky, slow and expensive. The only thing it really has going for it is there are no data caps. I can get 4G signal for T-Mobile, however (and Verizon, but their data caps drove me away), and I'm considering making my home internet connection consist of a dedicated Android phone on a T-Mobile 4G unlimited contract, using its WiFi hotspot. (I would probably set up another wireless router for the actual LAN so I'd have good coverage of the house, but it would use the phone's network as its uplink.). I would use a phone rather than a USB modem to take advantage of T-Mobile's unlimited data package. Is this a bad idea? Would the phone fry if I left it on and broadcasting its WiFi hotspot 24/7? I have an N5 but I've never used the hotspot for an extended period before - are they flaky? Would it drop IPs or anything like that and require reboots? Would T-Mobile decide I'm breaking a rule and throttle me down?


why my Gyroscope/accelerometer work only in portrait mode?

I have a Galaxy S Advance Gt I1970, running under Android 4.1.2 (official update). the problem is when i try to play games that require the phone sensors, for example Angry Birds Go or Frisbee Forever, the player always go to the left, but then i tried "Ridiculous Fishing" which is also a game that require sensors and it works perfectly but this game doesn't rotate the phone to the landscape mode, then i tried an application called "accelerometer test" and the result was as expected, i can control the ball when am holding the phone in portrait position bust when it's in landscape, everything is missed up. Any advice please ? thank you


After Droid firmware 4.3 update, no predictive text

I updated my droid firmware to 4.3 on Friday and had a fairly easy install ..except that my predictive text is missing in action.

I want my ribbon back. :)


Factory Apps for HTC First

I recently received a HTC First that I'd like to use, and without rooting the phone I'd like to simply disable all the unnecessary apps that come with the phone. I don't really know where to find these kinds of resources, but I am looking to use it for testing in App Development as well so I'd prefer more detailed rather than a wimpy general user sort of list if possible.

Is it possible to add a keyboard layout and dictionary to Swype?

I used the official Motorola upgrade tool and updated my Motorola Defy to Froyo (French firmware). Before the update, when I held the Q key on the Swype keyboard, many languages options were offered, and among them there was the Polish language. Now I don't have that option anymore, as there are far fewer languages available. Is there any way to have that language installed back? I have tried Manylocale2, but it does NOT what I need: it changes the locale, but it will not add any languages to the language menu... Thanks


How to stop Android shell from echoing control characters?

When I su to root, any control character that I type is echoed by the Android shell. For example, when I type "ls /sd" followed by a tab, instead of displaying the default tab completion of "/sdcard", the shell prints out "ls /sd" followed by the tab space. The tab completion appears to work behind the scenes, however. When I press the Enter key, the contents of "/sdcard" are listed. As a more obvious example, when I press the "Ctrl" key followed by an R (Ctrl-R) or an E (Ctrl-E), the shell displays ^R and ^E, respectively. This happens under both Jack Palevich's Android Terminal Emulator and the localhost connection mode of ConnectBot (I haven't tested with any remote host), and under both the default CyanogenMod shell and bash. My attempt to work around the problem by changing command prompt settings ($PS1) had no positive effect. I also tried the stty command but the obvious options like "-echo" don't work for me either. Is there some command that will prevent the shell from echoing the control characters? Or better, is there a shell configuration option that I need to explicitly set? At the moment, I have to type blindly when using tab completion and the Ctrl key as root.

Android keeps asking "Sign-in to WiFi network" even if WPA/WPA2 is already authenticated

I'm trying to connect to a DLink Router protected with WPA/WPA2. It's our home router and I can connect perfectly to it from laptops and desktops, Linux and Windows alike. But when I connect to it using my Android phone (XPeria Z), I am always notified to "Sign-in to WiFi Network" after I've entered the WPA/WPA2 password. Tapping into the notification loads a 404 page from my router. Then, from my browser, trying to load any website just keeps looping to this 404 page. Other apps that connect to the internet do report connection problems. Being that I'm not on a data plan and always connect via WiFi, I can't install any diagnostic tools unfortunately. FWIW, I've ensured that the connection to my router _does not use_ WiFi Protected Set-up. I've also tried connecting to the router through an old Samsung Galaxy Y, with Android 2.x to same results. I wonder if this is a problem with my phones or with my router?

Disabling ALL roaming?

It's relatively easy to disable data roaming on an Android device in the "Wireless & networks" settings section, but the phone still tries to connect to other services via roaming like voice and SMS. Is there a way to disable ALL roaming whatsoever? I know about airplane mode, but that completely disables all connectivity, and it's also annoying to have to remember to keep turning airplane mode off and on again when I enter/leave the vicinity of this network. I'd like to be able to connect to my network but not allow any roaming. Why disable? Becuase the network offering the roaming isn't one I trust, as I think it may be intercepting and recording my data. So I don't want my phone to use it.


voice call problem

I have a _Samsung Galaxy S4 mini_ running Android 4.2.2. The problem I face is when I want to make a regular call, Android asks whether to make the call using VoIP or normal. If I chose normal, it first goes to _Skype._ I have to disconnect that. Then, if I call the same number again, it does a normal voice call. I have the _Skype_ app installed on my phone. Please advice me how to fix this problem.


Is Android game bundler ikoid.com a scam site?

I recently purchased an Android game bundle from https://ikoid.com/. The purchase was successful (at least they took my money), and I was told I'd receive a link to log in with and collect my purchase. No such email arrived, and I've had no response from service@ikoid.com. Has anyone had experience of successful purchases from this site, or similar failures? Do you know if the site is genuine or a scam? Update: new purchase successful; the site seems legitimate.

Sporadic incorrect time on Galaxy S3

My S3 has been displaying the wrong time lately; maybe 3 or 4 times in the last week. It's not off by exactly an hour, so I know it's not a timezone or daylight-saving-time issue. It's usually off by 15 to 25 minutes; just enough to make me late to work. It's not only a 3rd-party app or widget issue; the actual phone time is wrong (in the upper, right-hand corner near the signal indicator). My wife has an older Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and this never happens on her phone. We live together (obviously), so our phones are in the same location, and we use the same provider; so I don't think it's a network/signal/tower issue. Any ideas what would cause this. I've searched around, and all I can find are forums w/ 6 pages of "Me too" responses. A couple definitive answers/suggestions would be welcome. UPDATE - I've disabled the automatic date/time settings, but the problem still comes back. I've worked on desktops and laptops for years, and they all use a CMOS battery to keep track of time... even when a computer is off. Do phones have anything similar?


Hiding/Locking bottom bar on android 3.2

I've tried to search the internet for the answer and got no luck yet. I need to develop an application that will be used on tablets that meant for this one purpose only, and thus, I need to find a way to either lock or disable the bottom system bar. The tablets I will use are running Android 3.2 system. I saw a couple of options to achieve that on rooted devices, but, then I saw that some applications have managed to lock the bottom bar without rooting the device first. For example "MX Player" application on android market. Could someone point me to the right direction please? Thanks in advance, Danny


Tethering an Toshiba AT100 to a Nokia E71

I want to tether an Toshiba AT100 tablet to my Nokia E71. Have installed JuikoSpot on the Nokia which creates an ad-hoc hotspot. It appears the AT100 only looks for infrastructure hotspots. Is there an app or other method of getting the AT100 to look for and connect to an ad-hoc hotspot? Alternatively, is there a cheap Android phone I could get that supports being an infrastructure wi-fi hotspot?


Tablet idle issue in New Nexus 7 (2013)

Lately my new nexus 7 table's battery has been draining incredibly fast during idle. I noticed that the "tablet idle" item in the battery life menu is the highest out of all of them (sometimes up to 34%). Any idea why this could be happening? Additionally, I know what "tablet idle" means but what technical components actually summarize to that battery level.


How to force google reader app to download mp3s

When I subscribe to podcast RSS feeds with the google reader app then click the link to the mp3 Google reader starts streaming it with the selected media player rather than downloading the mp3 file to the sdcard like the webbrowser does. Is there anyway to force it to download the actual mp3 file?


What does the "O2 Menu" app do?

My Samsung Galaxy Mini has an app on it called "O2 Menu". I did not install it, so I can only assume it was installed by the vendor prior to selling it to me (the phone is on Tesco Mobile PAYG, which appears to be provided by O2, so this seems plausible). This app does not have any user interface as far as I can see (it certainly doesn't have an icon in the launcher), yet it runs on my phone constantly, restarting instantly if I "force close" it. It has a very liberal set of permissions. What does this app do? Is there any way I can stop it (my phone is rooted)?


IMEI number publicly displayed whenever connected to Wifi

I connected to Wifi (using a HTC Desire using Android 2.3) and a friend used an app (I think it was on an iPhone) to display information about devices connected to the Wifi hotspot. I can accept the MAC address being available but isn't having your IMEI number publicly available make it easy for people to do negative stuff like clone it, then fake a phone on the same network with the same MAC address etc? Or just report the phone stolen by phoning a network and giving the IMEI number? Why is it visible anyway? Can I change that field for the purposes of Wifi connectivity? Note: I am in no way asking here for information on how to change the IMEI number of my phone - I know it's illegal in many places, and I agree with the law. I just don't see why the IMEI number is relevant in this situation. Update - to answer your questions/comments: The Apple app is called Fing. I saw the app running; my friend is not teasing/lying. I'm 99% sure I was running the latest version of stock Android on the Desire, and not Cyanogenmod (which I later switched to). I can't see that it's possible to turn a MAC address into an IMEI address. The network uses WPA2. He wouldn't have had time to crack it. I'm not aware Fing has a live, free, online WPA2 cracking capability.


How can I prevent my media library from disappearing when I unmount the SD card?

I have a rooted stock HTC Rezound and frequently connect it to the computer as a USB mass storage device. After each time I do this, once I'm disconnected and my SD card is mounted, my media library disappears and I have to rescan my card. This appears to be related to the mounting and unmounting of the card. This has never happened under the same circumstances with other phones. Having to rescan the card is not a big deal but I have several alarms set to use mp3s and I have to rest then every time and that is a pain. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?


How to download and open PDF files?

I am a university student that has most of the lectures online as pdf files. How can I get them on my Android phone and read them through Adobe Reader? This is the first time that I have used Android. The version that I have is 2.2 "Froyo".
