Is there any low bandwidth VoIP software for Android?

I have measured Skype's bandwidth consumption: * When just running Skype: ~0.09 KB/s * When talking to someone through Skype: ~9 KB/s Is there any VoIP software available in the Android Market that consumes less bandwidth? **NOTE** : I'd like to be able to talk to someone on Ubuntu with this client, so it should also have a Linux version or be compatible with another Linux client/network. P.S.: Are my measurements correct?

Locus Tweak allows Google Maps download, not OSM!

I am going to develop an app for Android, and I'm trying to understand whether it is possible to store maps for offline usage (anyway I am not sure this is a question for developers). Google Maps TOS is enough explicit about the fact that maps can't be stored (if not with some strict limitation), see https://developers.google.com/maps/terms?csw=1 (10.1.3): (b) No Pre-Fetching, Caching, or Storage of Content. You must not pre-fetch, cache, or store any Content, except that you may store: (i) limited amounts of Content for the purpose of improving the performance of your Maps API Implementation if you do so temporarily (and in no event for more than 30 calendar days), securely, and in a manner that does not permit use of the Content outside of the Service; while OSM provide public free API and resources for the exploiting of its knowledge base. Now, I am really confused about the Locus Tweak behaviour. It allows me to easily store tiled maps by Google maps even for wide areas with good definition, when it would be supposed not to be allowed, on the other hand when I try to store OSM maps, the answer is:  Searching on Internet and the page http://support.locusmap.eu/hc/en- us/articles/200090132 is not of help, what am I missing here? In conclusion: I would like to understand how an app downloaded by 100.000+ users can use this way Google Maps, and OSM which would have been my second choice, seems not to allow it.

I did a factory reset to sell my phone, and my photos are still there according to the new owner…

I need help in this strange situation! I did a factory reset and cleared everything in my HTC One X, erased all files and photos, removed **all** accounts, and sold the phone.

Contact sorting in ICS? (Galaxy S alpha version)

When flashing a custom ROM, why do I get an error on getprop("ro.product.device")?

Whenever I try to flash a ROM on my ASUS Transformer Prime (tf201), I get the following error: assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "tf201" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "tf201" I've got around it by opening the ZIP file of the ROM, navigating to `/META- INF/com/google/android/updater-script` and just removing this check. The ROM installs fine then. But still I'm left with the question: why isn't my device recognized as a tf201, while it obviously is? Is it because I formatted the `system` partition in a format frenzy?

youtube app - is there a way to resume play back

I have an android set top box call Pivos Xios. It is running android 4.0.4. This is plugin my 1080p TV. This device is great because for 100$ you get to have a browser on your TV and all the play store app you already purchased are available. So I have installed the youtube app which works great. I logged in my account and get to have my history and my watch later videos, that is just awesome. I was just wondering if there was a way to resume playback of a video that I stop/paused for a later view. I know I can do that with the XBMC app and the youtube plugin installed, but the interface is much less intuitive an user friendly that I prefer to use the youtube app directly. On my PC, sometimes (I haven't found what triggers it), when I reload a page of a youtube video I've already been watching, it is sometimes cropped from where I stopped it. There is a bracket added to the timeline. I'm looking to have a similar functionnality over my youtube app on android. Any advices are welcomed.

Space issues and rooting

I have a Huawei IDEOS u8150 running Froyo. Ever since I got this device, I've been running into low disk space problems (because of only 150 MB internal space). So I've had enough and moved all the apps I can to SD card. Then again, some were not movable. So I did a little research and saw this article on loading apps to the SD card by default. It seemed to work rather weirdly, as some apps which couldn't be moved to the SD card before, now can be moved after using that trick. Still, the system apps and vendor bundled apps remained in the internal memory. Also, most of the moved apps still took some space on the internal memory. The Froyo's app2sd rather seems to be behaving oddly according to me (though I've searched online and found this is normal, sadly). **What I want to know is :** 1. Will rooting enable me to further enhance my Froyo's app2sd function? 2. Will custom mods be a better option with space management for my phone? If so, which ones? 3. Right now I have apps that I really need and use and I'm stuck with low disk space. (Please dont link me to anywhere; I've done all I can with cleared caches and I have no more apps to uninstall which I don't need.) I've heard that z4root takes 22MB+ internal space. Is there anything else to root using adb or something that wont require internal space? Or if I use z4root itself, can I remove the app fully after rooting and still have root? What about SuperOneClick's space cost?

How can I update the "multiwindow" setting in Tasker?

My GS3 just received an OTA update that gave me a multiwindow setting. Cool! Except, I want to turn it off automatically when I'm using apps that take up the full screen (like some games). I can't find this setting anywhere, but I am also pretty new, so I could be missing it. Since the setting is also pretty new, there probably isn't a variable for it. Is there any way to get a list of settings and/or set one by name? Thanks

How do I enable Umlauts on "Phone Keypad"-style keyboard?

First of all, I know long pressing on a char like 'a' gives me choices e.g. 'aä..' so the special char (umlaut) 'ä' can be selected. But this works _only for me for the "international"-style keyboard_ (aka QWERTZ keypad). When switching to "Phone Keypad"-style keyboard (aka multitap/T9 keypad or 4x3 keypad), I will have no umlauts, though correct localization (set to "German"). Do you have any tips to make it work? I also observed the same behavior for the "Compact"-style keyboard. **Phone:** * HTC Desire S * has Android 2.3.3 stock firmware * No additional keyboard apps, as I recently bought the phone (5 days) * Not using Swype (I know that this has pretty nice umlauts handling due to the dictionary)

MHL only works for a few minutes on Galaxy S4

I picked up an HML-to-HDMI adapter, and an adapter to get it working on my Galaxy S4. When I first plug it into a TV, everything is great! I can get a picture and sound on my TV in the expected resolutions. After a few minutes, TV reports "no signal". If I unplug the cable from either the TV end or the phone end, the phone reports the HDMI cable disconnected. Plugging it back in on both ends, the phone reports that the HDMI cable is connected. However, I still don't see anything on the TV. Rebooting the phone (via holding the power button and choosing restart) does not resolve the issue. If I plug the phone into a power source or USB port, and then switch back to the MHL adapter, it starts to work again. This problem has occurred with multiple TVs. I have a couple theories: * Some sort of power management shuts off the video output after a few minutes. (Note that I can be playing video and the phone screen stays on while TV reports no signal.) * An error condition with the interface that requires it to reset. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Am I the only one with this problem? If so, I suppose I could have a funky adapter.

How do I add a new language?

The aftermarket ROM I use seems to have the language list parred down to just a couple selections, probably to save space. I would like to add a language back into the system. I can already set the locale using programs such as MoreLocale 2 so that applications with my language support start with the right locale code, however that doesn't add missing system languages. Having the system in another language would be nice, but **the main thing is getting the dictionary files for the keyboard auto- complete**. How does one go about adding the language support files for an input language to a system or ROM? I can access other ROM's or the AOSP project to rip things out, but I don't know where to start. What files do I need and what modifications need to be made? Is there an easy way to do this with say a language-pack or is it hackery all the way? My ROM is fully rooted and I have `adb` access if necessary. It's Android 2.3.7 (Unofficial CM 7.1 port for Dream/Sapphire) and I'm using the stock Android keyboard. The language I want is Turkish, although unless somebody has a download to point me to it's mostly the process I'm looking for here.

I am used to browsers having exploits found on them being fixed and having new versions of the browser with the fixes. In the Android native browser it seems there is no such process. Does this mean that exploits found for the native default Android browser are never fixed until you upgrade your ROM? Is there a version history for the native browser? When I look at my user agent info for my Froyo 2.2 Galaxy S I9000 I see Gecko version 533.1, which is very old. Does it mean exploits exist for this and there is no way to patch them?

Disabling long press on empty area of home screen

I have a HTC Desire X running Android 4.0.4 (not rooted). If I long press in an empty area on my home screen, it automatically opens the widget which allows me to add/remove apps/widgets on the home screen. This is very inconvenient because I accidentally long press on the home screen few times a day & then without realizing the add/remove widget is on, I accidentally click on an icon or two which adds something I don't want to my home screen. Is it possible to either disable the long press on the home screen action or at least make it less sensitive? I am not sure if this is a general Android thing or HTC Specific behaviour.

How to root a HTC Desire running official Android 2.3?

backing up system image before rooting: please help

I have a Samsung Galaxy S III i9300. On Windows 7 there is something called a recovery partition which contains a full compressed image of the operating system from which Windows 7 can be installed. On Android, instead, there is a recovery, which as I understand it is a partition with a full micro-operating system from which can be used to decompress an operating system from an image on the sdcard and make it the current operating system. What I want to ask is. I want to root my device. For this, I can use Odin 3 and ChainFire. Once the device is rooted will I be able to go back and unroot the device? In order to do so I would like to save the program which reinstalls the android operating system from scratch. Where is this program. I want to back it up in case needed, I don't want to lose it or customize it. I can see my image on sammobile.com, but the download is slow if you do not pay for the download, and I was unable to download the image. If I install ClockworkMod as my recovery, I need to root the device first before installing ClockworkMod, so when ClockworkMod overwrites the recovery, the old recovery will be gone and I will only be able to restore the rooted version of the OS. Plus, I will not be able to reinstall the old recovery as once overwritten by ClockworkMod this old/original recovery will be gone. Is this correct? What if I want to back up the unrooted version of the OS? Thanks.

Galaxy S4 filtering incoming connections

I am trying to run an ftp server app on my galaxy s4 (tmobile) and it starts ok, binds to the wifi address and port 8021, but then I can't connect to it.

I haven't been able to find any settings or anything - any idea what could be blocking the ports? I have checked the IP both via a ip info sort of app, as well as through my router's connected devices page. Any ideas? Update: I just tried a different FTP app just to make sure and same thing.

So I downloaded android-sdk on my PC and got the adb and fastboot. 2. then I downloaded a zip file and put it on my tablet and tried to reboot into recovery but I can't see anything like "install zip from sdcard". Only I can see 4 menu items reboot fastboot,reboot,recovery and power off. 3. I tried the recovery one when I do that one android logo with some setting icon animation appears in green and the tablet goes to normal boot process and starts normally. 4. When I press the power button and volume down button also nothing happens at boot time. 5. Then I downloaded boot.img to flash it using fastboot. But here also fail. The fastboot lists my devices with command "fastboot devices" but when i try to flash, it stucks at "waiting for devices". Now feel confused and messed up with tablet for rooting. Can anybody please guide me step by step process to check and root this tablet. I will be so much grateful to get the answer.

Install your own software

> **Possible Duplicate:** > How can I install an app given only its APK file? I'm thinking abount getting a smartphone, mainly for tinkering with it. On iOS, in order to install your own code, you need to either root the device, or buy into Apple's developer program. What's the current state of things in the Android world? I see the SDK and developer documentation are readily available, but people talk about Kindle's Fire and Google's Nexus as closed systems.

Is there a way to download applications from the Android market for offline installation?

> **Possible Duplicate:** > How to download apk file on PC from market? Is there a way to download an Android installation package from the market so that it can be installed offline at a later time (e.g. from an SD card)? This might be useful for backing up applications so you don't have to search for and download them all again. It could also be useful setting up multiple devices or just sharing an application with a friend in an area without network access.

Can I download apps via my Linux PC then install them on Android from there?

I have a Motorolla Citrus smart phone. I have Linux Mint Nadia Cinnamon I am a total newb to smart phones and don't understand much of the terminology and what can be done. I am temporarily out of data/an internet connection on my plan. Is it possible for me to download an app from the google apps "store" to my Linux PC, then to transfer it over to my Android/Citrus? If so is there a guide that explains it in baby steps? If not, my phone is a "3G", how fast would it take to download an app? I could probably go to a Starbucks or somewhere with a WiFi connection. Thanks

Install .apk on android phone

> **Possible Duplicate:** > How can I install an app given only its APK file? First, as I understand, if I do not have the SD card slot on Android phone (e.g. Samsung Nexus S), the only way that I can install the .apk file is to either download from Android Market or use the SDK (description is e.g. here http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/install-apk-files-on-android/) and the USB cable (With SD card I'm copying the .apk to SD card and then I'm using the ASTRO file manager). Installation by sending .apk file over Bluetooth (like it is done on Symbian) is not possible, I guess - at least I was not able to send an .apk on any Android phone (the Bluetooth transfer was always rejected by the phone). How can I install an .apk file on an Android Phone which does not have a SD card slot?

Can I shorten the network name in my status-bar so I have room for more icons?

The network-operator name takes up that important real-estate in the top-left corner of my screen, on the left side of the notification bar. It takes up room that can better be used for notifications. Can the status/notification bar be hacked in some way to eliminate the network operator name? I've not yet seen any hack in the marketplace for this kind of thing. Would I have to write this myself? FYI, using Android 2.x on a UK Motorola Razr

Auto focus not working on Galaxy Nexus

I seem to have lost the auto focus capability on my Nexus. The phone is stock, only one update done (so it's XWKL2). I don't use the camera much, but I think I had auto focus when I first started using the phone. Now I have to manually focus by tapping the screen. I'd rather not clutter my phone with 3rd party apps for camera since I don't use it much, but I'd like to have AF for my random quick snaps. Any tips?

I think the USB/MHL port on HTC Evo 3D is for output only and it cannot receive any signal inputs. Is that right? That would leave the USB port for this. But I still don't know how to achieve it. I want to achieve something like this:

Do batteries on new devices start discharging even when plugged in to the adapter?

On my old phone, HTC Hero, when it was connected to the charging adapter and the battery level reached 100%, it never went down when plugged in, like the battery wasn't used at all and the phone was running from the charger instead. On my new phone, HTC Evo 3D, I left it plugged in into the charging adapter in the evening and when I woke up in the morning, the charging LED was green (implying the charging was complete) and the battery level was 98%, which seemed like the phone "discarded" the charging adapter after the charging was complete and started running from the battery, even though it could have gone from the charger. Is this normal for all new devices, or at least for HTC Evo 3D?

What will be faster when moving to sd-ext via A2SD+ Data or Dalvik-cache? (or can I move both with no extra-penalty)

I'm using `A2SD+` on my `HTC Desire` running on `MIUI`. Currently only the `app` and `app-private` are under `/sd-ext`, but I'm running out of space very quickly :) Currently my `dalvik-cache` consumes **46.3MB** and the `data` takes **53.7MB** of internal phone memory, so I think `data` will give me more value, but I'm not 100% sure of that either. I know I can technically move both `data` and `dalvik-cache` to `/sd-ext`, but I understood there could be performance problems, but I need the space. So my question is which will have a lesser effect on performance? Moving the `data` or the `dalvik-cache`? EDIT: Some tech info (if it helps): My SD Card - Kingmax, Class 10, 16GB I tested with SD Tools and got these results: Writing Speed: **8.7 MB/s** Reading Speed: **18.6 MB/s** Note that the test was on the FAT32 partition, I don't know if the EXT3 partition I use for the `/sd-ext` will be any faster. The `/sd-ext` partition is **1GB**.

Is it possible to force an app to use cellular data instead of WiFi?

Our local office provides free public WiFi for phones and tablets, but blocks access in ways that means that some applications (like WhatsApp) are unable to connect. Is there any way to configure Android so that a certain app (in this case WhatsApp, but could be others) will always use cellular data even though it is connected to a WiFi access point? Bonus points if it'll only do it for a specific access point, so we can configure it to use cellular data for the office but at home it'll still go over WiFi. Currently the only alternative is to either keep WiFi off (which is much slower and eats into data caps) or keep toggling WiFi on and off (which is really quite annoying). (Free or paid solutions appreciated. Using Android 4.3. Would prefer solutions that don't require root, but if that is the only way then so be it.)

Is there a way to use the mobile network for data when connected to a WiFi network?

I have two devices that I routinely connect to my android phone through WiFi that do not offer internet: * When in my car, an OBDLink MX WiFi https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obdsol/obdlink-mx-wifi-a-wireless-gateway-to-vehicle-obd * When downloading or viewing pictures and videos, a GoPro 3 Silver. Is there a way I can remain connected to these devices and yet use the mobile network for data? I don't see any settings for this, and lose internet connectivity until I disconnect from these devices - this is especially annoying in the car. The phone is an HTC One (m7vzw) with Android 4.4.4 (CyanogenMod 11M9).

Use data connection when WIFI has no internet access

My friend has a wireless router in his car that supports streaming music. I would like to stream music to this router from my google play (or other internet source), but as soon as I connect to his router, I lose internet access (since his router doesn't have any kind of outside line). It seems that even though the router clearly doesn't have internet access, android is shutting down my 4G connection. Is there any way to change this behavior, or is it expected to change in Android L? It is a little disappointing that this doesn't work as it seems the iPhone has supported this for quite some time. For reference I am on android KitKat 4.4.3

How to remove apps from "all downloaded" in Play Store

In the new Android Market/Play Store (3.5.15) they have now got a list of "all downloaded" apps. I have had an android phone for a good 2/3 years now and the list is huge, plus sightly more questionable apps which should have been lost in the ether of the internet have now been dredged back up to haunt me. Can I remove apps from here? Thanks

Is there a way to clear your Google Play App history? (Not the search history)

> **Possible Duplicate:** > How to remove apps from "all downloaded" in Play Store I'm looking to see if there is a way to clear the actual history of installed apps in Google Play, as opposed to the history of searches (which one can do right from the app). It'd be nice to be able to wipe out the old apps that I tried months ago and uninstalled. The sorting of the "All" apps list is actually pretty good, in that such apps tend to be at the very bottom; but if I go on a tangent trying a dozen different similar apps until I decide on one, I'll have those in my list for a bit. And, sure... there are a few apps in that list I installed then removed that might generate a blush or two if someone else saw it. I wouldn't expect to be able to remove apps that I have installed on any of my devices (nor would I want to, anyway)... just apps that I installed previously but do not have any longer.
