Why does Android download pause, and only continue after restart?

Sometimes when I download apps (from the market), the download gets paused. After the download gets paused, I am unable to continue the download. But after the restart my device and then retry downloading, it works fine. What could be the reason behind this?

Nexus 10, write access to USB pen drive (update)

I've found the answer to this question from November, which states that the only way you could read from USB was with the Nexus Media Importer, although I've gotten the impression that that is read only and only for media files. Time has passed, and I'm wondering if there is now a way to read/write to USB pen drives from the Nexus 10. This is on a company tablet so root access is totally out. Are there any free alternatives to NMI?

android updated system app, how to remove the "updated" status?

 **link2sd** can list all updated system apps. as this screenshot shows. I thought that link2sd categorize an app as **UPDATED** when it finds the same app in `/data/app` and `/system/app`. So I deleted the Gmail app from `/system/app`, and the corresponding file from `/data/dalvik-cache`. but link2sd still say Gmail is updated. I'm just wondering, based what criterion that link2sd categorize an app as UPDATED?

Use a wired gamepad on Android 4.0.4 via laptop?

I have a USB-based gamepad that I use on my laptop. I want to use the same controller on my Android phone. The problem is I don't have a USB-to-MicroUSB cable so I can't directly connect it to the phone. However, I discovered Wifi Keyboard. It works neatly if I use my laptop keyboard but I can't find any documentation about the usage of it's "Game Mode". I am trying to get Wifi Keyboard to use my gamepad on an emulator I have on the Android. If I try to set an input key on the emulator and I use my laptop keyboard, it gets detected and set. However, if I use my gamepad, nothing happens. How do I execute the setup I have in mind?

App for virtual keyboard for Windows

I am looking for an Android app which provides a virtual keyboard (and mouse) for a Windows PC. These are my requirements: * run in window-less mode, e.g. as a service (nice for HTPC) * provide support for special keys and key combinations What I tried so far: RemoteDroid * does not run as service * does not support special keys and key combinations * does not display any connection information AndroMouse * always displays window (does not run as service) Gmote * runs as service * no support for key combinations, just translates the usual android keyboard * up/down/left/right keys not working Mouse and Keyboard Remote * no service, but CurrentVersion/Run Does anyone have another suggestion?

Samsung Galaxy S2 won't make calls, message or go into the internet

For the last few months I have been having some problems with my _Samsung Galaxy S2_. I have had it two years this coming November, and it has been awesome until recently. The phone will work perfectly fine then all of a sudden it won't allow me to select any of the icons on my screen: if I touch any of my icons it goes to a black screen and takes me back to the home screen and continues to do this until the screen goes into lock mode. I have found the only way I can access it seems to be that if someone messages me I can pull down the notification bar and click on the message from there, which will bring me into the message centre and can type a messages to anyone on my contacts list. But if I happen to go back to far to my home screen I am unable to get back into messages. I further have found that if I get someone to message me and ring me in most cases it seems to reset itself, but am concerned as like today I have a sick boy at home, no home phone, and unable to ring the doctors. I have removed the SIM and battery and restarted the phone, and doesn't make a difference. I am open and willing to try any suggestions as I like my phone and don't want and can't afford to get a new one.

What are the command line options of Genymotion's player

Can someone give me a list of the cli options of Genymotion's player command. I see that I can get a list of the devices via VituralBox's command: $ VBoxManage list vms Then I can start the desired device with: $ ./player --vm-name "Samsung Galaxy S2 - 2.3.7 - API 10 - 480x800" Now I'm looking for player command option to start the Genymotion from the last run state. In other words have it resume where it was when the device was closed. There's a chance the option might be in one of the possible cli arguments. I've searched for a list, but so far my results are to how to start a VMS but not the full list of options that are available. I also used "-help" and "--help" as a parameter, but it just gives and error. Not the full usage options of the player command. This is the list that I have compiled so far (found by running player without argument): --vm-name --quiet It may be that those are the only options of the player command. If it is I'd appreciate knowing so that I can stop searching.

Is there any way to install android apps without internet, via bluetooth or using the USB cable? (I do have bluetooth on my computer). If it's possible to install the apps than where could I download the apps? The Market doesn't let me download them to my computer.

Galaxy Nexus won't connect via USB

So my Galaxy Nexus has been fine until now. It has been running Android 4.2 and it was going perfect, then like a day ago I go to plug it in and it just won't connect via USB. It charges on USB but that's it. The drivers are installed and the problem is not my computer; I tried it on another computer as well, I haven't changed anything at all. The last option I think for me is to do a factory reset, which I reaaally don't want to do. It won't even come up with USB connected on the phone. Any ideas? * * * **UPDATE** I sent mine back for repairs and the mobo was screwed on it. No idea what caused it.

How do i find my Mobilenumber on my Samsung Galaxy 5

I've been trying to give my friend my number. When I first got my _Samsung Galaxy S_ I wrote it down in the memos: a mobile number that had 11 numbers in it. I can't remember where I got that from -- and now when I try to find it, I go into _About -> phone-status_, but for phone number it says "unknown". I don't know what to do. If I click on the "unknown" thing it does nothing. I also thought numbers were meant to have 10 numbers. So how can I find out what my number is?

Is there a way to enter a line break into a long node name in Thinking Space?

When editing a long node name in Free Mind on desktop you can enter a line break by using "shift-enter", then a simple "enter" would confirm the edit. This same Free Mind mind map when transferred to Android and edited with Thinking Space would display the node with line break correctly. However, I couldn't find a way to enter that line break in Thinking Space. I tried the following input methods: Swype, TouchPal, Hacker's Keyboard.

Does the sd-ext partition get wiped out after flashing a different ROM?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace using its official CyanogenMod build. I wanted to try this MIUI ROM for a change: http://forums.miui.us/showthread.php?22816-ROM-MIUI-us-2-8-3-for-galaxy-ace Everything went fine, except that it doesn't see the 1GB sd-ext partition now. I don't know if it's just unmounted because my sdcard partition size stayed the same. Does the process really do that? I'll check the recovery menu once I'm done backing up my sd card. But if you have any ideas, please do share them. Thank you. Edit: Nothing in the recovery menu helped. I'm now about to re-create the sd- ext partition.

Load only small subset of messages

I have thousands upon thousands of text/picture messages on my Samsung Galaxy S 2, ice cream sandwich. When I go to open a conversation, the phone stops for a good 30 seconds, even after a fresh reboot. I don't want to delete my messages, but I'm sure if I could somehow limit it to, say, the last 100 messages by default, it would load much quicker. Again, I don't want to delete them, and I still need access to most of the messages, but only on demand

Phone is finding every wireless access point except mine!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S using the default firmware (version 2.2). Unfortunately, it can't seem to find the wireless at work. When I click "Scan" on the list of WAPs, it continues to appear as a "Remembered" access point rather than connecting. The laptop is finding the SSID with full bars, so it's just the phone being tetchy. I've tried rebooting the phone and the router with no change.

Phone not mounting as a drive when "Connect USB storage" is clicked

I have a Samsung Galaxy S, using the default firmware (version 2.2). It is configured to select "Mass Storage" when plugged in via micro USB. When I plug the phone into the cable, I receive the "Click here to connect via USB" button. However, when I click it, the phone thinks for a bit and then tells me that it's connected; yet Windows makes no mention of it and the drives are not accessible from the computer. It has worked in the past, but has apparently decided I am no longer worthy or something. I have rebooted both the phone and the computer with no change in behaviour. What am I doing wrong? Is there something obvious I've missed?

CM7 GPS works randomly, no rhyme or reason, is there a fix?

I have the Incredible and here are the specs: CyanogenMod 7.1.0 Stable Baseband: 2.15.00.07.28 I can't seem to get my GPS to run in a stable manner. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I've installed all the diagnostic GPS apps: GPS Essentials, GPS Status, GPS Test, GPS Fix, and doesn't make a difference. Cleared the AGPS, d/l new AGPS, etc... When I use any of those, or my speedometer apps - Speedview and UlyssesSpeedometer - the GPS icon doesn't even blink. It's as if it can't hook the GPS command to turn on. When it does work, it's great, a fix in about 3 seconds and 10 or 11 satellites. I've run Fix Permissions in Rom Manager, and that seemed to help right away, but nothing since then, and I've ran that after I've installed new apps unrelated to anything GPS, and still to no avail. How can I fix this to get a stable GPS on my phone?? Any help would be greatly appreciated, so frustrating.

Can I use a Galaxy Gear without a Samsung Phone?

I got excited about the prospect of writing code for a watch and ordered a Samsung Galaxy Gear. Currently the device does nothing unless paired with a Samsung phone running the proper version of the official software. My goal is to enable debug mode and use adb to install apps, not necessarily use all the phone-gear functionalities. Any idea on how to do anything without a Galaxy phone? The obvious answer is no, but I'm hoping some clever hacker in this site may have found a way.

adb shell superuser access without approve from phone

I'm running MIUI 3.9.27 on my HTC Desire S. I accidentally froze my miui launcher (com.miui.home) and after reboot, phone stuck on boot animation, but seems everything running except miuiHome. I know that for defrosting app from `adb` I should run `adb shell pm enable com.miui.home` but it'd say `Killed` and nothing happen. I read somewhere that I should run it as superuser but when I run `su` adb wait for phone root access approval, and since phone stucked on boot animation I couldn't approve root access. Is there anyway to access superuser without approving it from phone? or doing pm from recovery? P.S: I think if I could push LBE Guard data (that adb root access has been granted and remembered) into /data/data it may work but I don't know how I could do this

What Options Are Available For Viewing the LogCat?

I recently had to capture my `logcat` for my HTC EVO 4G device to try and identify the reason why updates sometimes fail claiming there is insufficient memory ( **issue discussed more extensively here**). However, the log captures EVERYTHING which means you have a lot of unnecessary information as well which makes it hard to look at the raw data without getting overwhelmed with the amount of data. I am trying to isolate the data relevant to the updating process so we can see what's going on that is triggering the error when there is enough space on the internal storage that can't be exhausted by the size of the installer and/or application size. Does anyone have a suggestion for a LogCat viewer or recommendation? What solution works best? Preferably a visual (GUI) tool that can process the file with filtering capability and hopefully intelligent grouping and so on.

How can I convert Google+ to a system app without buying Titanium Pro?

The _Locations_ feature on Google+ running on Cyanogenmod is not showing a Map. I am not sure what's the cause of this, but as of CYAN-1193 the fix is to convert Google+ to a system app. I did this successfully with Titanium Pro with just one click. After Google+ became a system app, the map was shown. Now I have a dozen other devices without the pro version of Titanium where I want to do the same. Surely there is a way with _root_ and `adb`. Can you guide me?

Errors when receiving iMessage group texts

Phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII OS: Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 I've tried talking to Samsung, AT&T, and reading forums looking for a good answer to this, and I seem to be the only person experiencing this exact problem. When someone sends me a group message from iMessage on an iPhone, one of 3 things happens. 1. I receive the message from the original sender, no evidence of other people on the message, and receive a message from 'Anonymous' at the same time that says "Message not found." 2. I receive the message from the original sender twice, sometimes with the error message, sometimes not. 3. I only receive "Message not found" and the actual message never reaches me. All I want is to see the group message from iMessage without an error or a duplication, and it would be nice to know it's a group message. Icing on the cake would be to actually reply all and even see who else it was sent to. I have not seen anyone else report this particular error. This has been an on- going problem, not a recent one, that I was only very recently able to diagnose. Today's advice has ranged from telling every one of my iOS friends to turn off Android messaging in iMessage, to deleting my phone number from the Apple Support page (which does not and never has had an iPhone attached to it), to resetting my device. Even if the answer is `This is a common issue because Samsung and Apple love to feud and piss off their customers, so they make it impossible for you to communicate with the enemy`, I would love to hear that.

How to properly factory-reset a Samsung Galaxy S2?

I did a factory reset on a Samsung Galaxy S2 like this: * switch off phone * hold down buttons Volume Up, Home and Power until phone boots into "Android System Recovery" mode * select wipe/factory reset and confirm all questions As expected, after the factory reset, all apps were not installed anymore. But this does not seem to have worked for the file system: On the file system of the internal USB memory (/storage/sdcard0), I see many folders of previously installed apps and also some which I had manually created before the factory reset. I think that a factory reset should delete all these folders, because e.g. the WhatsApp folder contains all my personal messages. I think that if a function is called a factory reset, then afterwards personal messages should be deleted. So what's wrong here?

Unable to restore /EFS from backup on galaxy note II

Phone model : SGH-I317M Network : Rogers I made a backup of the /efs folder right after rooting my phone. (Using EFSPro). Since then I have played around with downgrading to android 4.1(downloaded from samsmmobile) from the official android 4.4 release before. Due to bootloader issues I was unable to do this. To fix my phone I downloaded android 4.4 from Samsmobile. The phone boots fine, but I have no network connectivity. The IMEI and baseband are unknown. I tried restoring the EFS backup but it did not work. After a bit of debugging here is what I found: 1) After restoring the EFS backup I took another backup and compared the MD5 for my original backup and the backup take right after restore. They matched. 2) Then I rebooted my phone and did another backup, this time the MD5's did not match. Hence Something during the boot process is rewriting my EFS folder. I tried doing a format of the /efs parition before restoring but the format failed. Any help/ideas would be appreciated.

Can't do wireless tethering. HTC Hero with 2.2 ROM

Recently a friend of mine showed be his Desire HD, and it has an option on the Wireless settings section, which is something like "USB and Portable Tethering". So when it's activated, it creates a wireless network. He also has Android 2.2 (not a custom ROM). I've searched every option in my phone, and I don't have "portable tethering" only usb. I tried downloading an app called "Wireless Tethering", but it creates an ad- hoc and it doesn't work very good. So, can I do something, or I have to change my ROM to another 2.2 or even 2.3?

Why don't the commands for punctuation, capital letters or other speech-to-text functions work?

I was very sceptical about Google Text-to-Speech but I tried it and the word recognition is pretty good. What drives me crazy however, is that it does not recognise any of the given commands for punctuation, capitalisation or any other dictation commands. It writes only in lowercase, even for common first names (e.g. James) and for the start of sentences, and it always puts "i" in lowercase. This alone renders it useless for dictation for anything except personal texting or private note taking. You can forget using it to dictate a business email. It also chooses very strange word recognition options. For example saying "send to" yielded "casna", but in the drop down was the option to change the word to "send to". Why would Google choose a made up word over a well-known phrase? Voice commands for capitalisation and punctuation clearly worked in the past, so what has changed, and more importantly when is it going to be fixed? Google also autocorrects "www." to "wee", meaning that it is impossible to dictate a web address. That alone makes the "OK Google" function useless for browsing.

Drivers for TrekStor Surftab Xiron 7.0 3G

I just bought a TrekStor Surftab Xiron 7.0, and I was trying to use it to test apps. It's the first time I do this, so maybe I'm just doing something wrong. I turned on the developer settings and the USB debug, connected the tablet to the computer and tried to install the Google drivers (The ones in the SDK), it didn't work. Then I tried to search for drivers on the TrekStor website, but they don't seem to have download links. I tried another couple of drivers I found online, but none of them worked. Does anybody know where I can find working drivers? The Android version is 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean).

How does Over-the-air updates (OTA) work

I read the Wikipedia article but it's not totally clear on how Android updates are pushed to devices. This is what I understood but am not certain which is correct so please add details to approve or disapprove my statements. Case A Phone has some service that periodically checks manufacturers servers (with some sort of polling) then if there is a new update it informs the user with a notification. User than clicks the notification and downloads and installs update from manufacturers server Case B OS updates are just like ordinary software updates, there is a Google Cloud Messaging or similar broadcast receiver active on the phone and manufacturers just send message using this which shows user a notification. User than clicks the notification and downloads and installs update from manufacturers server Case C Phone is notified about the updates by the mobile network (over-the-air provisioning (OTAP) like MMS and WAP settings) and than it shows a notification of the update. User than clicks the notification and downloads and installs update from his/hers mobile network provider These all seem probable but consider these cases: What would happen if phone is not registered on network for a long time and internet is disabled (think of a tablet without internet access for example)? Why are phones with same version (international version) of firmware getting new updates at different times on different networks? NOTE: I recently found out that CyanogenMod has OverTheAir updates in newer versions, how are they doing this, I doubt they have mobile network providers support?

Google Now not replying to voice commands, just parsing the words to search terms in browser

I am using LG OPtimus L5 and when I use Google Now I speak into the mic ,but it just transfers what I say to web search. I want it to take some commands, like add this, call this person, etc., but it doesn't. Is it the version stock of Google Now that comes doesn't have these commands programmed, or do I need new version, etc.? Settings? Can't Google Now be used as a personal assistant like Siri?

aGPS on Xolo Q800(X-Edition) unable to find 'first-fix'

Android Phones in question: * Xolo Q800 * Xolo Q800 X-Edition I own X-Edition version & aGPS is unable to find first-fix since the ' **day one** '. When on Google-maps, location defaults to tower(GSM mobile Transceiver, BTS) co-ordinates. 1. Installed `GPS Test` app, I noticed all packets received were portrayed as **gray bars** on the SNR graph of the utility. 2. Installed `GPS Status` app, reset GPS data/cache & downloaded it afresh. Still first-fix was nowhere in sight. 3. Checked Xolo website for s/w upgrade, although there is an update to 4.2 most Xolo-Q800 are complaining about buggy update on various forums. I'm reluctant to upgrade or try out custom ROMs. 4. Came across this Fixing the GPS on my Samsung Galaxy S?. The procedure is totally different & aGPS is a solution over here. I found `agps_profiles_conf.xml` file at location `/system/etc/`. It's full of aGPS server details. Can this be addressed? Please push me in right direction to fix this glitch.

Using ADB with usb debugging disabled, and no root

I have an Android Device running Android 2.3.7 . The device is locked due to exceeding pattern attempts. So now Android is prompting me to enter my gmail id and password. The problem is, the WiFi is turned off and the Data is turned off. I have found using this thread that you it is possible to turn on wifi using ADB. But on my device, even usb debugging is not turned on. So, I cannot access the device using adb. So, I figured may be you can access device using adb in recovery mode ( my phone is not rooted ). But so far, in recovery mode, running `adb devices` does not list my device. Is it possible to access a device using adb if your usb debugging is turned off ( on a non rooted phone ) ? How about in recovery mode ?

How can I get Google Maps on Android to show metric units?

Google Maps always shows me distance values for direction results / navigation in miles, although it does show me a scale on the map itself in metric units. I rather prefer to get my direction distances in metres/kilometres. Is there any way to achieve this in Google Maps? I searched a bit for this and suggestions seem to be to change locale in Settings > Language and Keyboard. Mine is currently set to English UK.

How to get my original ROM working again?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830L and I a few days ago downloaded and installed a custom ROM 4.2.2 the name of the file is (cm-10.1-20130503-NIGHTLY-cooper), It worked good at first, but then the apps didn't download it used a lot of memory, it crashed/hanged and it became annoying, So I'm trying to return to my previous original version 2.3.4, but It doesn't work... I made a backup with clockworks, but it doesn't work. I tried downloading one from the internet and using thor (i think that was its name) to install it, but it doesn't connect succeed anytime I try... I also tried with kies, but It didn't work, it just staid there for hours without doing anything... So what are my options to restore the original ROM?, I really need to get back to it, this version is just to buggy and annoying for me to stay with it.

Bluetooth keyboard won't re-pair to my Galaxy Note 10.1

I bought a Bluetooth keyboard and it worked beautifully for 2 days. I then unpaired it to use on my friend's tablet and it worked amazingly well on hers as well. When I went to re-pair the keyboard to my Note 10.1 it shows up in the Bluetooth devices list, but the box to type in the code will not come up and there is no settings cog next to the name like there should be. So the keyboard has become useless as I can not for the life of me find a way to re- pair and connect it to my tablet. I am running android 4.1.2. Please help as I need this to work for school. I purchased this to take notes in class.

Skipping audio track using headphones

I have Samsung Galaxy Ace. I listen to music using headphones. If I press button on headphones, it pauses/plays music. It is really annoying that I need to take phone out of my pocket, unlock the screen, and skip a song. Is there a way to press a button on headphone, have it skip the current song and move to the next song like on Nokia phones? Is there any music player supporting this? Thanks in advance.

Installation of BusyBox on panda board on Android ICS kernel

I am trying to install BusyBox on panda board which has an ICS Android kernel. I used the steps below: 1. Download binary file which supports the panda board 2. Push it into `/system/busybox` folder 3. Install the BusyBox command line tools on the target by executing the following commands on booted filesystem: pc ./adb shell target$ cd /system/busybox target$ ./busybox --install . target$ ./sh #here i am getting error like ./sh: precmd: not found 4. Save the original sh executable by renaming it, and then create a soft-link to BusyBox sh: target$ cd /system/bin target$ mv sh sh.android target$ ln -s /system/busybox/sh sh 5. Export export PATH=$PATH:/system/busybox:/sbin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin `Step 3` is to install BusyBox, and `step 4` is to make BusyBox shell as default shell. But I am getting an error in the 3rd step. I want to make BusyBox shell as default shell, so I can run scripts on panda board. I appreciate any type of suggestions or solutions. Thanks in advance.

Process com,google.process.gapps stopped unexpectedly

Started getting this error in the last few days. It is stopping various things like Gmail, Market and Listen from syncing. I've read that it can be caused by bad data in records and that you should clear the data on the phone and then edit it on the server, but that's tricky if you don't know which item it is or even which app it is in. Any suggestions? I've switched it off/on several times. The error occurs when I do just about anything in Listen and can't get my Gmail up at all. Only thing I noticed is that one podcast was showing some error in Listen. Dropped it from the queue, but still getting the problem. HTC Tattoo on V1.6. Not rooted. No new apps added recently.

Preparation steps for sending a phone back under warranty

I'm sending my (unrooted) nexus s off repair under under warranty, and was just wondering if there any precautions I can take to limit the amount of personal info on the device, lest the engineers take a look through my contacts/emails etc.? (ideally without resetting phone to factory defaults) Main ideas I've had so far are: * Associating the phone with a brand new google account and deleting the old ones * Moving all sd card content to computer * Clearing caches

Does ADB push and pull work on non-rooted phones?

I just discovered about the command `adb push` and `adb pull` which supposedly lets people push and pull data from within the internal memory. Now my question is, can this be used on non-rooted phones? For example, i want to change the default camera shutter sound found on `/system/media/audio/camera/`, can I use adb to push and pull the audio files? And also, is this an act of rooting that could void my warranty? The main reason why I'm holding back on rooting was because I still had a full year before my warranty runs out.

How to change Exposure when it is not possible

If i understand correctly, exposure is the measure of lightness in a picture. In my phone, there are no settings by which I can set it manually (it does it automatically), I use to put my hand on camera and then remove it suddenly and take a shot to get higher exposure when needed. For low exposure I use to face camera towards a lights source then suddenly back to the point and take a shot. This is an ugly way to do it, is there any software or technique which can do that??

Can I get Skype on my HTC Wildfire in 3?

I recently got HTC Wildfire from 3. On the webpage & in shop they told me that I will be able to do Skype talks. After doing some research I found out that: 1. HTC Wildfire is not officilly supported 2. Some claims that installing the Skype from apk just works Hence I have following questions: 1. Is it legal to install Skype in such way (according to UK or English law)? On one hand it is advertised feature of phone (or at least it looks like it is) on the other hand Skype is propertary. 2. Which apk files I need?

Why does Play Store update twice in a row the same app to the same version?

Why does Play Store (formerly Android Market) mark for update twice in a row the same app to the same version? Here is a typical example of what happens. Yesterday I checked the My Apps section from Play Store, saw that version 3.5.1.1 of the Kindle app was available for update, and updated it. Today I checked the My Apps section again. Play Store showed as available for update the same 3.5.1.1 version of Kindle with the same release notes. I updated the app again. The same often happens with other apps, both on Android Market in the past and Play Store now. The second update is available the day after the first (I check daily for updates). In all cases the apps are correctly donwloaded and updated, and run fine. All my apps are set to manual update. I have an unrooted Nexus S running Android 2.3.6 and my phone carrier is Vodafone Italy. I have Play Store 3.4.7. The issue happens with both 3G and Wi-Fi.

Help understanding Whatsapp's permissions

Whatsapp has been nagging me for the past few days that I have to upgrade it to continue using it. With the Facebook acquisition and the Play Store no longer marking the permissions that are "NEW" separately, I'm on a toss up between an upgrade and an uninstall; I'm hoping further information about the permissions will help. First of all, does anyone know which permissions were added after Facebook's acquisition? And among the permissions listed, what does "find accounts on this device" allow the app to do? Does "receive text messages" allow the app to read any existing or new incoming SMS messages? And as a minor curiosity, why would it need the "retrive running apps" list? Here's the permission list from the Play Store: > This app has access to: > > **In-app purchases** > > **Device & app history** > > * retrieve running apps > > > **Identity** > > * find accounts on the device > * add or remove accounts > * read your own contact card > > > **Contacts/Calendar** > > * read your contacts > * modify your contacts > > > **Location** > > * approximate location (network-based) > * precise location (GPS and network-based) > > > **SMS** > > * receive text messages (SMS) > * send SMS messages > > > **Phone** > > * directly call phone numbers > > > **Photos/Media/Files** > > * modify or delete the contents of your USB storage > * test access to protected storage > > > **Camera/Microphone** > > * record audio > * take pictures and videos > > > **Wi-Fi connection information** > > * view Wi-Fi connections > > > **Device ID & call information** > > * read phone status and identity > > > **Other** > > * receive data from Internet > * read sync statistics > * prevent device from sleeping > * full network access > * control vibration > * run at startup > * view network connections > * connect and disconnect from Wi-Fi > * use accounts on the device > * create accounts and set passwords > * modify system settings > * read sync settings > * toggle sync on and off > * install shortcuts > * uninstall shortcuts > * read Google service configuration > * change your audio settings >

Contact details are not showing in Micromax A47 Android Mobile?

In my Micromax A47 Android Mobile, I lost all my contacts but when I tried to call my recent contacts through my mobile it's showing their name. When I tried to see my sim and phone contacts its showing only two but I had more contacts. When I inserted that sim in another mobile ( Not Android OS ) it's showing all my contacts. Why it's showing like this? Does this happens because of my mobile problem or OS problem?

How to boot custom ROM on Android Emulator?

I'm trying to run OmniROM on Android Emulator but I'm facing some problems. Really, I'm able to build the nightlies (homemade) without problems and run the standard Android "vanilla" that comes with SDK, but I just don't know how to boot OmniROM on Android Emulator. I created an avd with Nexus 5 configurations, I copied all img files in `out/target/product/hammerhead` to `~/.android/avd/hammerhead.avd/` but when I run the emulator all I get is a black screen (monitor shows device offline). I also tried to run `make` in `~/android/omni` and then open emulator, same black screen and device offline. Could someone point me the right direction?

Viber contacts out of date - not all contacts displayed in "All" tab

My address book is not Google Contacts, but Local Sync. All of my contacts belong to it. Viber sees many of my contacts as Viber-enabled from LocalSync. However, I'm sure that it's missing some of them. By simply going to Viber's "All" contacts tab I see missing entries. These entries appear in stock `Contacts` app. Viber is up to date to the latest version. These people told me that they have Viber and I can get calls from them (however they are detected as `Unknown`) How can I let Viber actually see all contacts in my address book?

conversion printing app from landscape to portrait mode

I often work just with the smartphone (Galaxy Note 3, Android Kitkat 4.4, no root) without any computer. **After opening a landscape powerpoint-presentation with the smartphone, I want to print it in portrait mode (2 slides per page). Is there any solution?** If there is no direct printer app with Remote Print it would also be very nice if there would exist a conversion app to save a conversed ppp in portrait mode as a new pdf. I'm searching since several months and would be so thankful and happy if there would be a solution!

Why won't FWDN see my cheap Chinese tablet?

I have a tablet here that appears to be a NuPad / HAIPAD M701.  I have downloaded a .RAR with FWDN. When I run FWDN the "Area Map" always shows "Unknown". I have tried this on both a Windows 7 x64 and a Windows XP x32 machine. I have run the VTC driver installer on XP (it doesn't work on x64). What does it mean when Area Map says Unknown, and how do I fix it?

Android disk encryption - using as a removable device

I'm about to upgrade my Desire HD to ICS so that I can use the full disk encryption functionality. Does anyone know if its possible to still use the device as a removable disk when plugged in via a USB cable? If this is possible, am I right in assuming that the device will need to be unlocked with the PIN/password before being mounted (as this surely defeats the purpose of it, if you can access the SD card without unlocking)?

Transfer of files and apps from old sd card to new sdcard

Can using too much RAM drain battery?

I'm really confused about Android memory management. I just read here that killing apps by swiping from recent list or using task killers won't save your battery but drain more because this cause the OS to load the apps all over again next time you launch it or startup by themselves. They also said the actually thing we should worry is CPU usage, not RAM usage. Is that mean using too much RAM doesn't drain battery? As RAM is a hardware, holding something on it shouldn't drain battery? What if I was playing Temple Run and just press home button so the app will load faster next time I launch? Or should we just press back button until the app exit as we always do? I've also searched the internet but some said it would drain battery as it sits on RAM, some said there is no difference between RAM holds actual data or nothing. Should we let go of our app-killing habit and just feel relax? Some precise answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)

Is my phone using both WiFi and 4G?

My Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon) running 4.2.2 (with the VRUAME7 Build, so root is not an option currently) has both the WiFi and 4G/mobile data symbols in the notification bar, occasionally the mobile data symbol will go away, but it is there more often then not.  So I have read through this forum and it says that by turning off the Caller Name ID app that this should remove the mobile data from the notifications. I have done this and it has not removed the symbol. **Questions** My phone does not _seem_ to be using the mobile data, but I would like to know if it is in fact using the mobile data while connected to WiFi? Shouldn't/Does the mobile data turn off when connected to WiFi? If it does not turn off the mobile data, why not and can I fix this with Tasker? That is a HUGE waste of battery!
