40961 | Factory reset a woo tablet | I tried to reset a woo tablet 7" without success: 1. When pressing [Power button] + [Volume Up] I can see the android icon with the warning icon but nothing happens! 2. pressing [Power button] + [Volume Down] opens a weird menu in a korean-like language. How I can perform a factory reset on a woo 7" tablet? ## Update I can't access to the tablet, it's locked with gesture pattern. |
29760 | Google Talk alert sound | Is it possible to change the alert sound when a new message arrives for Google Talk? My colleague and I both have Galaxy Nexus' running Jelly Bean and when either of us get a Google Talk message its very confusing! :) I can't see a setting for it in Google Talk and it doesn't seem to use the "Default notification" sound that is set under Settings -> Sound -> System. Thanks! |
40968 | android app google chat | My girlfriend and I have been enjoying google chat and the feature that lets you know when the other person is on their phone indicated by a green circle vs a red circle when the phone is in sleep mode. For some unexplained reason, my phone now indicats her status as being red all the time even when we are talking to each other. Shey says she has not changed any settings, can anyone tell me how to fix this or what woudl cause this to happen? |

1177 | Gmail app: How can I view the email addresses? | In the gmail app, how can I view the actual email addresses an email has been sent to, rather than just the name. Sometimes the person in question has more than one email address and it would be useful to see which email address was used. The only method I've come up with so far is to hit reply all and then scroll around the cc: field, but that is clunky, particularly if there are quite a few recipients. Any better options? I am using Android 1.5 on a T-Mobile Pulse (aka Huawei U8220). |
23449 | Aoson M19 -- Need Device Drivers | Myself and a few others have an extra Aoson M19 android tablet on hand, but can't seem to find any USB device drivers for it. I assume this is because it isn't an overly popular tablet. Does anyone know where some drivers could be found? Perhaps someone wrote their own? |
23505 | ICS (Samsung Nexus) Calendar Default Event Duration | Been trying to change the default duration while creating an event on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus stock calendar. It's defaulted to be 1 hour but I'd like to change to 30 minutes like I can on Google Calendar on Chrome. Thanks. |
23504 | False "Internal memory space is low" on tPAD - need a root access | A friend of mine has a chinese Teclast tPAD with Android 2.3.1. After some time of usage we start to get system notification "Internal memory space is low". Yet there are tons of free space in all types of memory: 14 Gb in SD, 5 Gb in NAND flash, 400 Mb in internal memory, 156 Mb RAM. Apparently something is wrong with the system because we can't install most of programs - installation typically finishes with a notification about insufficient memory. From what I have read here, this can be caused by overflown hidden system folders, such as `/data` and `/cache`. So the question is, how can I get root access for tPAD, or how the cleanup can be done without root access? This brand is not well supported worldwide, so it's very hard to find drivers and apps applicable. For example, I can't plug the device into a PC's USB in developer mode (if it could help) though the appropriate option is enabled. |
29927 | Screen issue on Asus Transformer Prime TF201? | Sometimes when using the Asus Transformer Prime TF201, I see some artifacts or static occuring along the left side of the screen as pictured below. It kind of looks like a white barcode. It is running the latest version of Android 4.0.3 the **"Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 Firmware: V9.4.2.28"** this tablet has not been unlocked, yet...  Asus Transformer Prime TF201 screen distortion (click image to enlarge) Happens most often when viewing web pages in Chrome, etc. It does not happen all the time. Any ideas what might be causing this? Software, hardware, anyone else ever seen anything like this? Is this a hardware aka warranty issue? |
27617 | Android update not proceeding beyond the point of earlier cancellation | I have a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000. An Android update was promoted. I started with the update download, but canceled it at 36 MB (total update size:110 mb) because of slow network. After that, whenever I try downloading it, the download stops at the 36 Mb(exactly at 35.88 where I had previously canceled it). Interestingly, it is the same case with app downloads also, from Google Play. Device: Samsung galaxy note - GT-N7000. Android version: 4.0.3 Thanks. |
27610 | Unwanted Toast Notifications | Android 4.0 3. HTC Sense 3.6. I have some app installed on my SD card (1 of 195), that pops up a toast notification on boot/SD mount that says "Have a good day!" And lasts for nearly a minute. Does anyone know an easy way for me to figure out what app is causing that? Since toasts aren't a permission, an app like addon detector won't work. Cheers! |
59038 | adb shell check if a certain directory exist on avd | i want to check if a certain directory (/data/textdata/ ) exist on the avd using adb shell. reading adb check if directory exists and push file if it does, i've used the code posted by prolink007 except this line DIR_RESULT=$(adb shell ls /data/ | tr -d '\015'|grep '^textdata$') but it goes always into the "then" branch, if the dir exist or even if it doesn't. I've also looked for the adb shell manual without results. anyone could help me? thank's in advance |
59036 | Looking for an ebook format and reader that marks visited links | I regularly download a magazine via a script. What I download is a html-page as a table of content and individual articles (also html) linked from the toc, each article possibly containing (apart from textual content) one or more images (jgp and png). I currently convert this collections to a plucker-ebook that I read on my old Palm TX because it has one crucial feature: The plucker-reader marks the visited links (ie. the read articles) so that I know which articles I have yet to read (I read in a non-linear fashion). For years I have wanted to do this on my Android-device but so far I have not found a format/reader combination that would allow me to have the same experience... I do not care about the format (as long as I can create it myself) but I would prefer either epub or mobipocket. I already have made some experiments with epub using css (a:visited etc) but I have found that styling links seems to be ignored by most (or all) readers. So can please someone give me an hint? All I want is a solution to make it possible for me to read a magazine-content on my android-device in a non-linear fashion the way I already could 10 years ago on my Palm... Many thanks! |

12835 | Can .nomedia exclude file type? | In my Music folder, I have many subfolders for albums and they each have their album art in .jpg or .png format. I want the media scanner to not pick up these files however if I do that, then the entire Music folder would have nothing in it. Is there any way to only exclude certain file formats? My gallery is cluttered with album art at the moment. I also don't want to delete any of the album art. EDIT: Requesting tag "media-scanner" to be created. |

77015 | How to get back my files from my Xiaomi mi 3 with broken touch screen? | I have read through other places with similar questions and still cannot find a clue. My phone is still working (e.g. power button and able to turn on and off) but my touch screen isn't due to a crash. I haven't sync all of my things in micloud and I want to get it back. The main problem is I haven't enabled the USB debugging before I got my phone crashed. Therefore I cannot use the ADB to take control of my phone so as to access my files. All my things are stored in the internal storage of my phone as the phone doesn't require any sd card. Can someone please help ? |
50853 | How to enable debug mode on Sony Xperia V with broken touch screen? | My Sony Xperia V touch screen is broken in the right corner. The rest of the screen doesn't respond, but the LCD works fine. I need to make a full backup, but I can't activate debug mode. Also, Windows can't see the internal or external memory. Do I have any other options on retrieving my data? **UPDATE:** This problem is **SOLVED**. I got debug mode turned on by using a USB (Female) to Micro USB cable (Male). I connected a regular wireless mouse, and moused it through the settings. |
69040 | How to access data remotely in android | Hi I need a bit help of you. My android phone display and Touch screen had broken. i want to recover my all data. Unfortunately My USB debugging is OFF so I can not use adb shell and access my device. but my phone is automatically connects to my home wifi. I read somewhere that you can access adb through wifi. is it possible to do like that.? NOTE: I can not able to enable or disable anything because My touch screen is not working. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you |
69564 | How do I enable USB debugging on my broken digitizer nexus 7? | I dropped my Nexus 7 and the screen is broken (I can still see the background image, but the touch-input is broken. Everything else still seems to be working). I'm a noob at android, but I think I found a way to use adb to remove the lock screen so I can continue using my device with my bluetooth keyboard. Is there a way to enable USB debugging from ADB on my computer? |
77633 | Remotely activating USB Debugging | I have two android phones with broken screen (black, touch seems to work though). These phones are not mine but of a friend. I personally have a (working) Galaxy S3. The idea is to get back data (photos, videos and music) back from the phones. USB Debugging is not activated on the broken phones as my friend is not the kind of user who needs such thing. First, I have to mention one thing that surprised me. Since when `adb` doesn't show a connected device, even though USB Debugging is not on? Second, I thought about something like `androidscreencast` or `Droid@Screen` to use my computer to see and enter the different PIN. The latter works great, obviously, with USB Debugging on. So dead end again… So, is there anyway to use adb to force USB Debugging or any other way? PS: I'm on MacOS X, if that matters. But in the worst case, I'm fine using a VM or anything cause buying new screens would be more expensive and not much useful. |
81583 | Enabling adb via recovery mode | I'm using a HTC One S (Ville C2) with TWRP as the recovery image, however I currently cannot see anything on the screen because the screen is cracked. I'm trying to recover the data inside the phone (no recent backups) however I'm faced with some problems. Fix 1: turn on phone, and use `adb` to `adb pull` the data inside the phone. The problem here is that USB Debugging resets itself upon phone restart. Hence this method cannot be used. Fix 2: attempt to recover data via adb in recovery mode. I realised that the internal sdcard had to be mounted, however it kept on giving me the `/etc/fstab` directory not found error. Had no idea how to mount it. Fix 3: attempt to enable USB debugging upon next reboot. Attempted to follow the instructions on "Can't pass the initial setup wizard on SG3 with broken screen digitizer" however I realised that my /data/data partition was empty. Given all these scenarios, could anyone help me retrieve my data? Many thanks in advance! |
48169 | How to turn HTC Widfire with blank screen into debug mode | My screen on HTC Wildfire has gone blank and so have got my phone upgraded. Whilst the guy in the shop was able to transfer my pictures and video, when he tried to transfer my contact phone numbers he said he couldn't do that without putting the phone into debug mode, and he could only do that if he could see what he was doing on the screen. Is there any way of getting a HTC Wildfire into debug mode without having to use the screen? |

41361 | How to extract SMSes from a non rooted device with a broken touchscreen? | I have an HTC Wildfire S A510e (Android 2.3.5, not rooted). I want to extract my SMS messages and import them into another device. # Problems: * There is no free space on the internal memory left. No apps such as SMS backup can be installed. * The touchscreen is broken, I cannot unlock the display or use any buttons (e.g. home, back, search). * Device is not rooted.

76997 | Retrieving contacts from Android phone (Sony Xperia Z) | My Xperia Z recently suffered from a broken screen and is now not functional at all. YOu can see the screen, but the touch facility has completely gone. I can't even turn the thing off. I have a really cheap alternate phone that I would like to use temporarily but I could do with getting the contacts from the Xperia, on to my SIM card, then in to this cheap phone. This alternate phone I have has no functionality which will allow it to connect to a PC, so I need to get the contacts on to the SIM via other methods. A couple of methods I have been thinking about, but don't know if they are possible or not are: 1. Connect the Xperia to my PC and some how manually move the contacts from the phone to the SIM (I am not even going to be able to enable USB Debugging so I doubt there will be a lot I can do with the phone connected to the PC except explore the files). 2. Move the contacts from the phone on to the PC, then some how store the contacts on to my friend's phone (Samsung S3 Mini), and copy them to the original SIM from there? (I have no idea of how contacts are formatted so unsure whether or not they could just be moved from Sony to a Samsung so simply). They are the 2 main thought processes I have - any feed back on whether these are possible would be greatly appreciated as there are some very important numbers on this Xperia that I need for work! Thanks in advance (Apologies if this is in the wrong section, or doesn't necessarily class as an Android issue!) UPDATE: Seems I can't use adb Shell due to USB debugging being disabled and Screencast is a no go due to the phone not being rooted. I can see files within the Internal Storage such as .anchor, Alarms, Albums), is there a particular file within these subfolders which may contain the contacts which coul potentially be read? Even if I had to manually enter the numbers in to another phone, that wouldn't be so bad! |
82210 | Unlocking Nexus 4 with cracked screen | Recently a short fall broke not only my Nexus 4's cheap phone case, but the digitizer as well. The LCD and everything else is perfect, however the touch screen only works on the top quarter of the screen. I have no bluetooth mouse/keyboard and USB On-The-Go doesn't work for Nexus 4. Unfortunately USB Debugging is disabled (I really regret turning it off). How can I unlock it or back up the data on my phone? |
37685 | Resetting Nexus 4 with cracked and Locked Screen | > **Possible Duplicate:** > How do I backup data (sms/contacts) from a device with a broken screen? My Nexus 4 fell and cracked its screen:  One of the caveats in its design is the glass on the back makes it slide down and fall from pretty much any surface. Another caveat is the curved unprotected glass on the front. If it falls down, it'll most likely crack. # Given After it fell, the phone "lost its touch" i.e. it does not respond to any "touching". It is not rooted, the screen is (pattern) locked, hence I can neither see the files via MTP nor can do: adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key since permission is denied. I am also unable to adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases to save my messages, configs, etc.. for the same reason. The only thing I have backed up is pictures (which of course is "something"): adb pull /sdcard/ /destination # Question(s) I need to back up and reset it before shipping it back. * How do I go about backing up the "databases" (e.g. SMS, configs, etc)? * How do I wipe it clean, so whoever gets it can't get my data? * * * # EDIT Since this is closed as duplicate, which it's really not, here is the solution to this problem in case somebody else is looking for it. |

48325 | My phone's screen died but it still works. How can I get the text messages from it? | People are still sending me texts even though I can't read them. I've gotta get a replacement quick, but I also need to get the important texts I missed. Is there any way I can get them through my pc? To be clear, the screen is completely blank but I can still unlock it via touch pattern. It takes a few tries but Android File Transfer on the mac will tell me if it can or can't connect. If it can't, I just try again and I can get it. So the touch part still works, it just doesn't show any information. The phone is a Galaxy Nexus. When I connect it to my Mac, I can see the files in it via the Android File Transfer window. However, I can't find the texts here. I have the Android SDK installed and I was told I can do this: adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db However the device shows up as `offline` when I do `adb devices`. I can't figure out a way get it showing up as `online` without being able to use the screen. |

53995 | Read access to /data/data/com.android.chrome/app_chrome/profile on a Nexus 10 | How's this for a catch 22 - I would like to make a copy of the full folder structure starting at the path above. I have explored: * Finding ways to move the app onto the internet data storage (SD card equivalent), _before realising that it would likely still leave the app data in the protected`/data` directory_ * Looking for ways to root the device, without wiping the storage, as I have read is possible for a few other mobile devices (Nexus 7 for one) * "Temporary rooting" the device - This looks to be most promising, but I cannot find how to do this for the Nexus 10 In my desperation, have also tried to export the Chrome for Android history (least preferable solution), but: * Chrome for Android provides no way of saving `chrome://history` * The Google based sync is missing many pages, even whole days of pages, when viewing in Portable Chrome on the desktop * The press-and-hold clicking of individual links on `chrome://history` page, would take too long. * `chrome:history` doesn't display the full URL's, so the screenshots (Power + Volume down, concurrently) I took are only semi-useful Then there is the open tabs: * `chrome:sessions`, `chrome:tasks` present a "Web page not found" error, which I presume means that they are not available on the Android version. Does **anyone** have something else for me to try?? **EDIT:** After Dan Hulme's pointing out that there is already a workaround to this, I would like to change this question to ask if there is any way to mount the back file `adb backup` produces, instead of having to recover it to a like device, in order to work with the files contained with the archive. |
54272 | How to perform a full system dump/backup with a broken screen? | So, yesterday my phone took a serious tumble. It is now essentially useless, as the screen either fails to turn on, or when it does, there is nothing useful to see (just lines of primary colors, mostly). I believe (from the fact that it still chirps at me when emails come in, etc), that the phone is still functional, otherwise. I would like to perform a full system dump, so that I can get off any files from the phone (a TMobile SGS2 (hercules) running slimrom 4.3 build 1). The sdcard probably isn't important, as I can just pull it, but the phone's own internal storage I should like to get a copy of. When I plug the phone into a usb port, it 'mounts' the usb via MTP, and I can see all the files. Unfortunately, when I do a `select all | copy | paste` operation, the paste op dies before transferring all files. I've tried a couple other ADB shell operations, in hope of flipping regular USB mounting on, but nothing has worked. Any ideas how I can get a full dump of my poor phone's contents? # Edit Currently running a `adb pull /sdcard/` ... Its copying files presently, but its too early to tell if its going to get evertying I'm expecting. # Edit #2 looks like its going to work...its taking a rather long time, but it appears to be grabbing everything I was expecting it to. |
54047 | Get phone data out when screen is dead | I have rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 with Rootbox Android 4.2.2 installed.

Had there been a way to start the Airdroid or something to take the screenshot in realtime so that I can take backup of data and upload it on dropbox or google drive, it would have been easier. I would like know if it is possible to access screenshot of my device through adb or something? If yes, which softwares and tools I will need to install? Are there any other methods that I can use to make it faster. |

(e.g. using "clonezilla") It seems that there are similar Android apps (e.g. ClockworkMod) for system backup (Android rom backup) on a rooted Android device. However, I am not sure whether there is similar system backup apps for a non-root Android device ? Could anyone tell whether it is possible ? I have difficulties in using root-device rom backup apps such as "ClockworkMod" as my smartphone (ASK SP404) is not a branded smartphone and I could not find any rooting procedures for this phone, although there are good discussions on the web that talk about this, e.g. HOW TO ROOT your Android phone. (This thread talks about Android rooting procedures for many branded phones, but not my phone ! ) It would be great if anyone could suggest a rooting procedure for my phone, or some directions that I could try. Thanks in advance for any advice. |
48505 | How to copy SMS messages to computer with phone screen broken | I own a Samsung Galaxy S III (rooted). My phone recently fell out of my car and was ran over multiple times before I could recover it. The phone still works. I can turn it off and on (sound and vibrate work) but the screen is completely useless. The back and the settings key both light up when I press the home key, but they do nothing and I can see nothing on the entire screen. What I want to know is, I have business texts on my phone that I need to save. Is there a way to pull (or copy) the messages from my phone to my computer? P.S. I attempted using Wondershare Dr.Fone, but it will not work as I need to allow the application superuser access via the phone, which I cannot do because the screen does not work. I am unsure whether the USB debugging is on or off. I have been looking at other questions related to this one, but most of them involve the touch aspect of the screen still working Thank you all in advance. |

48431 | Is there any way to root JB without losing all data and settings? | Is there any technique to root Jelly Bean (perhaps temporarily) without losing all data and settings? The phone is Nexus S i9020 with Android 4.1.2. The phone has a bad case of the "Lag" problem - AndroBench reports: Random rd 4.4 MB/s (1127 IOPS) Random wr 0.18 MB/s 49.86 IOPS. I have found "LagFix" as a possible solution but it requires root. I have no other reason for root, and would be happy to have a "temporary" root that would let me run LagFix to solve that problem, and then be back to unrooted after restarting. I checked the suggested answer (This question already has an answer here:) If I root my Android phone, will I lose all of my data?, but it is from 2010 and recommends a tool (Unrevoked) that only supports specific phones (not including the Nexus S). I saw a different approach here but it appears to be for Gingerbread 2.3.3 and prior. I'm running JB 4.1.2. So I'm still looking for a way to root JB without losing data. |
80669 | Need to recover Handcent SMS/UPM password db from working Razr Maxx with broken screen | I have an unrooted Droid Razr Maxx with 4.1.2. Dropped it in the driveway and broke the screen. That aside, the phone is functional and presumably works - I still get audible notifications for various things with it. I'd love to be able to recover/restore my Handcent sms messages, and more importantly, recover/restore my Universal Password Manager (UPM) database to the replacement I obtained. Any ideas, smart people? |

28296 | Full Backup of non-rooted devices | I know I'm asking for the close-to-impossible -- as a real full-backup certainly requires root permissions. But still there are many folks around not wanting to root their devices -- afraid of voiding their warranties or bricking their devices, or just not having their devices supported by any rooting method. I also know there were a lot of questions asked already on this topic, and I checked all of them having the _backup_ tag -- none covers the entire topic, all just have pieces, and especially people new to Android (but other non- power-users as well) would have a hard time figuring out the best way. So **_I want a detailed canonical answer_** to the question: _**Not_ involving root-solutions, how to achieve a backup as close as possible to a _full backup_?** Please do **not** give simple one-liner answers like "Use app xyz [full- stop]." If mentioning an app (and I doubt a single app would be the answer here), include what parts are covered by it -- as well as ideas on how to fill the gaps it leaves. (And to make it absolutely clear: I know the first thing coming to mind is _Titanium Backup_ \-- I use it myself, but this does _not_ apply here: This question is _strictly about methods for non-rooted devices!_ ) Moreover, the answer should be as _generic_ as possible in terms of applying to a wide range of devices (i.e. it should not be resticted to one device or manufacturer). I already mentioned having investigated all questions here tagged _backup_. These will certainly be helpful providing details for answers here, so I will list up the topmost ones concerning my question: * How to backup an Android device? * How do I perform a full pre-rooting backup of an Android phone? * What info does Google backup? * How can data on an unrooted phone be backed up? * Could a non-root Android 4.0.3 smartphone's rom be backup? * How do I back up (and restore) my phone before installing a custom ROM? * Backup my Android without my Apps, Settings, Config's, etc. All these provide some details for my question (so feel free to get inspired by them) -- but I feel there are still details missing. Also it would be helpful to have a summary -- say, an answer including the full description of "the maximum possible". A last criterium: While I'd consider cloud-based solutions ligit, I'd favour local solutions. If you can provide both: all the better. But some people value privacy quite high (I'm one of them), and thus would not trust their data to some cloud service. * * * Thanks to Ryan, we now have a solution for a **really complete backup** of all apps and their data -- which I didn't dare to hope for! The only disadvantage: His solution only works for less than 10% of all Android users; namely those whose devices are running at least with **Android 4.x**. So again, I ask the close-to-impossible: **Any solutions applyable at least on Gingerbread** (2.3.x) or, better, even Froyo (2.2.x) -- so they cover the majority of current devices? These solutions may involve multiple tools (try to keep it as simple as possible though; think of your mother to follow your instructions ;) And keep in mind: **NO ROOT!** * * * To further motivate high-quality answers (and hopefully avoid low-quality ones), I will be a harsh one here: As I rarely do, **I _will_ down-vote** answers not fitting the mentioned criteria on one end -- but on the other end, **I will setup a bounty** for the best answer (which cannot be done immediately, but earliest after 2 days). |

65881 | GCM with SSL/TLS under restricting proxy? | My mobile carrier data plan allows only connections using HTTP(S) proxy or IMAP, SMTP, POP3. I can use every protocol encapsulated in SSL/TLS with HTTP(S) proxy (CONNECT method). No destination ports range restrictions. GCM uses ports 5228,5229,5230 but isn't SSL/TLS. If I try to tunnel it with HTTP(S) proxy CONNECT, it connects but closes connection when discovers that protocol isn't SSL/TLS. I don't want to use VPN, stunnel or SSH port forwarding. GCM servers (mtalk.google.com) accept SSL/TLS connections? It exists a workaround? |

8540 | What can I expect from the "Pure Google" Nexus S 4G? | Sprint recently announced that they are going to sell the Nexus S, and that it will be "Pure Google", implying that there will not be any additional carrier fluff on the device. I am considering buying the phone, but I'm hoping others who already have the Nexus S or Nexus One can tell me a little bit about what to expect. * **Are the updates timely?** With my HTC Hero, I found that I had to wait a long time for updates for the OS, and eventually it stopped receiving updates, leading me to install Cyanogenmod for Froyo/Gingerbread. Will I be getting updates for new versions of Android almost as soon as Google releases it? * **Can I tether?** I'm assuming that if this is "Pure Google", it will not have restrictions on it such as grayed out tethering buttons. Is that a valid assumption? Or do I need to root the phone? If I root, do I still get OTA updates? This segues to the next question.. * **What can I not do without root access?** I understand that if I want to install a different boot loader or Cyanogenmod or something, I need root access. But if we're looking at day to day activities, is there functionality that I will be missing without root access? And any other factual comments about things I may not have considered that's materially different from running a carrier-fluffed phone would be greatly appreciated! |

66501 | my notification bar won't drop down ics 4.0.4 | I am using a Samsung Galaxy S Duo with the stock Rom. I have a problem where my notification bar won't drop down after certain things happen. Steps to cause the problem: 1. Phone is on the charger. 2. Someone calls me. 3. Disconnect the charger. 4. Answer the call. 5. After the call finishes, plug the charger back in. The next thing is a mystery. The sound indicating that it is charging is gone, and my notification bar won't drop. Lastly, I am not able to access recent system task manager. I have tried pulling the battery and rebooting, and I even tried wiping the cache, but none was able to solve the problem. I ended up flashing stock Rom again, which fixed it. How can I fix this problem? Because I don't want to flash again every time this happens. |

50417 | Permanently deleting Email from Default Email app | I have a Nexus 4 running Android 4.3 [OTA came on July 29 \m/] and I use the stock e-mail app called "EMail" (I don't like Gmail app). Whenever I delete an app, a folder called Imap/Trash gets created and the mails I delete goes inside this folder. I can see this in the browser. Since I have OCD, I open the browser, delete the mails and remove the label. This is a bit irritating as I have to do this every day. Is there a setting or a tweak or something which lets me delete the mails from my Nexus and move the deleted directly inside Trash (like how it happens in the browser)? Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated! Cheers :-) |

17414 | Is there a way to set app-specific volume? | I'm looking for a way to set the media volume depending on the app being used. I generally keep my media volume down fairly low so as not to annoy my fellow humans overmuch; while playing Angry Birds, for instance. When I go into Doggcatcher, though, I generally want to crank the media volume way up, because I'm listening through earbuds or my car speakers and need that volume way up. Not such a big deal, but if later I go back to Angry Birds and I forgot to turn the volume back down it wakes up the whole house. This is exacerbated by the fact that the media volume does not follow the "Sound off" setting (accessed by a long-press of the power button). So, is there a way to do what I want? _(Android 4.0)_ |
22678 | Unexpected reboot during app install has left phone with no space | My wife recently went to install a game on her phone (Sims Freeplay) from Google Play. She tells me the phone had enough memory for the install (~15MB free for a 13MB app), which is why she tried. (As an aside, I'm assuming it downloads the package, then installs from that, so you need at least twice the final space to unpack the thing correctly.) It downloaded successfully, but when the phone tried to install the app the phone unexpectedly self-rebooted. After booting, the game wasn't installed and the phone is reporting low memory, with <1MB of phone memory free. She's using an app to check this usage (called DiskUsage), which is reporting "System Data" as using 28MB - she's sure it was much smaller when she checked the space before attempting the installation. Assuming she's right, I'm thinking maybe the downloaded package is still sitting around somewhere consuming space. Is this possible (given it crashed mid-install)? If so how can we get rid of it? |

22671 | Marking an e-mail as unread pops a "new email" notification | My wife and I both have Samsung Galaxy S2 phones, and use the GMail app for reading and writing emails. In that app, when I mark a read mail as "unread", it throws me back into the previous screen and correctly marks the mail as unread.

What is the cause of this behavior, and how can I fix it? |
60903 | Improving performance of YouTube app | I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (a.k.a. p4, P7500), running Android 4.2.2 rooted (latest CyanogenMod nightly build: 10.1-20131208-NIGHTLY-p4) and YouTube v5.3.28. Does anyone have an idea how to improve the performance of the video playback? What I'm experiencing is a lot of stutter: videos often only show a few frames per second (the audio seems to get priority and plays fluidly). Sometimes videos pause for a few seconds at a time. I'm testing with preloaded, fully cached videos, so it's not a problem of network connection. Killing background tasks helps a little bit when it's really bad, but doesn't fix the problem entirely. Now I know this isn't exactly a high-performance device, but when playing them with MX Player, all 720p videos are playing absolutely fluidly without a single stutter. This also includes the exact same videos that stutter in the YT app after downloading them and playing them with MX Player. So the device is _capable_ of playing back those videos perfectly fine. Any ideas what I could try to increase the YouTube app's performance? |

26560 | HTC Wildfire won't boot | My HTC Wildfire will not boot up. When I boot normally with the SD card in, I only get a screen that says "Fastboot" with the options bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader and power down. It says to use the volume keys to select the option and press the power button to select. Using any of these buttons does nothing. I then need to take the battery out, and power up while pressing the volume up button. I get an HBoot menu with the options fastboot, recovery, clear storage and simlock. The volume button does not allow me to select anything, but when I press the power button to select fastboot I get a number of messages saying `SD checking load image [xxxx.zip] No image found` This happens too quickly for me to see the name of the files missing.

75538 | Can I update to the latest version of Android on a generic off-brand tablet? | My question is related to this community wiki. I found an affordable white- label Android tablet for €99 a few days ago and I'm considering buying it. Its specs seem fairly decent for its price range, especially given that I'd prefer a 10-inch tablet. Unfortunately it's a very generic brand (IT WORKS), so I don't think that I'll get any OS updates. Is it possible to install the latest version of Android on an off-brand tablet? I'm fine with vanilla Android or a popular custom ROM like Cyanogenmod. I'm asking specifically about off-brands because there's a big chance that the modding community doesn't have a ready-made solution for that specific tablet. The device comes with Superuser already installed, so I'm assuming that it is pre-rooted. I'm not familiar with the ROM flashing process and I've never done it before. |

Also, I cleared cache and dump logs. Nothing have helped me yet. When I connect it to my laptop, it shows that phone has 8.56GB used out of 11.4GB. But that is USB storage, isn't it? Under settings > storage > device memory [Total space = 1.97 GB]. The problem arises when I install few of the applications and it starts showing that you are running out of storage. I don't understand what it is showing only that much space. |
65263 | mm-qcamera-daemon wakelock when idle | My phone will randomly get the mm-qcamera-daemon wakelock. I know how to fix it, a simple reboot and all that, but it pops up when my phone is idle in my pocket. The phone starts to run hot and I can't restart it until it's nearly too late. I haven't installed many apps that use the camera, and all of them are usually closed by the time I don't use my phone at school or anything. Possible culprits IMO are Lux and Flashlight. |
393 | Phone LED only flashes for a few minutes after receiving a notification | My HTC Desire is set up to flash its LED lamp whenever I receive an email, SMS etc. Only problem is that (without touching the phone) the LED stops flashing after 5 minutes or so. So if a message comes in while I'm not near my phone and I don't come back for more than 5 minutes, I have to turn on the screen to discover the message. I've searched through everything, but there seems to be no setting for this. Am I missing something, or is this by design? Is there an app for this problem? |
13606 | What happens with configurations and app data, practically, if I mod my device with custom firmware? | > **Possible Duplicate:** > How to backup an Android device? If I want to install a modified firmware like CyanogenMod, it seems like I should wipe the phone clean both before and after the operation. But what will happen to all of my * Android configurations (known Wi-Fi networks, bluetooth pairings, etc) * installed apps * app data * app configurations? Is there a simple way to make a backup of all of that and then restore them after the wipe on the brand new OS? What about stuff on SD card? Should I wipe the SD card clean too? What about the apps that are installed there? _(I've tried to look forother backup related questions, but they have to do with restoring the device to the exact same state - which of course would be the usual case when restoring backups.)_ |
