Doesn't download manager tell you what's being downloades? If not, what exactly is this app managing?

Quite possibly. Go to archive.org and take a look at some old sites. They were surprisingly information sparse.

You can do popups in PDF.

It's probably a bit more arrogant to think that it should be designed just the way you want it, vs the way that the vast majority of people probably prefer. :)

I don't think your trolling, but I do understand your use case isn't what they designed for. xda users are an edge case to begin with, and you're probably an edge case amongst the edge cases.

Of course we have a choice. I've not installed multiple apps I considered because I thought the required permissions didn't make sense. This is not only a choice, it's what you should be doing if you're actually concerned about your data.

Seriously, your phone is jacked. We've been on android for a while (5 phones and 2 tablets in) and never had the store crash the phone and end up not usable. Furthermore, there IS telling how far it goes into the os, as the os is open source, and how far is not very - open source versions (aosp, aokp, cyanogenmod, etc) don't include it for example.

Thanks, I will look into it.

As for download manager, do you think it could be because I did not uncheck the box to automatically update on some of the software I downloaded? If so, how do I disable all automatic updates system wide?

I assure you it's working fine now. I have no problems with the Google Play store anymore, I just find it highly offensive of Google to demand I reveal my identity just to post a couple of comments on some software. Like they say, my opinion is my own and doesn't represent my employer's. Well, it's exactly the same regarding my private life.

OK, so I'm an idealist...

Considerations about the ad based internet economy and privacy

So, as part of my thinking about Android and its ad based monetization and its impact on privacy, I have had some interesting readings lately and would like to get the community's pulse on this.

So as we all know the internet economic model is based on advertising and more and more, targeted advertising and as I was looking for ways to reduce the noise it generates, I was looking at why we have come to this and have come to some perhaps interesting conclusions. It all started with my quest to reduce bandwidth and find out was is taking up so much data in the background without my explicit consent (I admit that we give implicit consent when agreeing on apps and even the simple fact of using the Android OS, but I'm talking about consent to specific things), and after learning that Google pulled all ad blocking apps from the market.

So I found this very interesting piece from a content creator, and it forced me to think and revise my stance on advertising and privacy, and I've come to ask myself if indeed, like Ed kind of lead me to think, we are perhaps treating ads and advertisers like quixotic windmills, as the enemy to take down where perhaps there aren't, and if we could not instead find a way for all of us, content creators, consumers and advertisers to work together so that each would have a piece of the pie without aggravating the other?

More specifically, don't you think it would be high time to find a mechanism by which ads could be targeted to users using their personal information in a safe and a way respectful of their privacy, by making sure the personal information used to target ads and personalize them is entirely secured and off bounds to both advertisers and content creators by total anonymization? This would benefit users by showing them ads they would find appropriate and useful (therefore increasing substantially the effectiveness of advertising and guaranteeing greater return on investment for advertisers or their clients),

without revealing any personal details permitting identification of individual target audience members

?

In other words, advertising without the offensive, obnoxious hard sell and much more effective persuasion by better targeting with the guarantee that the personal information source used to tailor ad content cannot be used to identify the data originator? Wouldn't that resolve the looming privacy crisis we as a society are facing?

Let me know what you think!

Android File Association Problems - Bug or Festure?

OK, so there's another issue with Android that I haven't been able to resolve: The seeming impossibility to select an app for a file extension except those from a preselected list!

So I have this notepad app I like, Fast Notepad which is suer fast compact and great to view and edit text documents and want to make it my default text viewer editor, but can't seem to be able to do it, as it is not presented as an option in the dialog box!

I can open the file fine though the app, but simply do not have it as an option to automatically use it for opening all my text files when using my file manager.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the notepad app, clearing to defaults, tried many app and file managers which are supposed to be able to associate files with apps. etc, with no success whatsoever.

What gives? Am I missing something here? Or is this a 'feature'? Care to explain?
[Android General] edscholl:
In order for an app to be presented as an option when selecting something, the app has to register an 'intent' to open it. If the app doesn't claim the ability to handle a file type via an intent, the app doesn't show up as an option.
[Android General] Old faithful:
Thanks, Ed! That explains it... In other words it must be hard coded by the app author... Strange concept! Is there a way to fix this missing 'intent' or is it more involved than that?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2
[Android General] edscholl:
Hard coded is too strong a description - the intent is specified in the apps androidmanifest XML file, which is a perfectly sensible place for it to be. You could edit the file if you really wanted I suppose.

Hi All,

I am trying to figure out if STK applications can be provided in PDAs and I am presently concentrating on XDA PocketPC.

I used RIL library (through XDA-developers forum) and tried some sim toolkit related commands like 'RIL_GetSimToolkitProfile', 'RIL_SendSimCmd'. The result (HRESULT) of these commands is 0x80004001 (E_NOTIMPL - Not implemented). Probably RIL is just returning E_NOTIMPL for toolkit commands.

In case these functions are not implemented in RIL library, is there any other way to communicate with SIM??

Regards,

Usha

i preferred the stock rom for the htc sensation xe as i am experiencing heating promblems with custom roms

i want to know if i ran an ruu will my s-off disappear

and if i wanted to reroot and install cwm will it be a lenghty process

what hboot is easiest to s off

i also want to run ruu as i am getting some hardware promblems such as sim error etc and by having a stock rom i am safe in knowing if i wanted to send it back for warranty i could just write some command in command prompt and im done

ps anyone know stock govener and cpu speed for htc sensation xe

and if i can run an ics ruu without upgradint hboot
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
after ruu installation you won't lose S-OFF.it will remain as it is

but if you want to return the device for repair under warranty i think you have to S-ON

I just got the nexus 10 last day. :laugh:

but something i've noticed, as soon as i'm watching movies or streaming for a few minutes, the top left part where the power, volume key and camera are, it feels warm on touch.

also around the same area (the power/volume keys), i can hear a slight buzzing noise. It's not that loud but i can hear it if i put my ear close to it.

are these symptoms normal or a defect?

Thanks.

Hello guys,

I have taken the battery out and let it charge over night, phone still wont cut on. I have tried holding buttons and anything I can think of my phone still wont cut on. It worked just find a couple of days ago and when I woke up I had this problem. I rooted it in nov. to the baked rom. Before I completely give up on this phone, I was wondering did any of you have any suggestions.

Kudos to what racing said. You could try taking out the battery. Plugging it into your computer. Before inserting the battery hold down the volume buttons down then put it in. Try combos with the individual volume buttons. Just shooting blindly here. Might get download mode might not.

Hello XDA. I have an Evo 3d on newest ICS update and I just rooted it, did not do s-off as I do not have an insulted wire- but I am wanting to flash my phone to MetroPcs as I have a donor phone in my possesion. I suppose my questions are:

Do I need S-Off in order to zero out my ESN?

and

Do I need to downgrade baseband or anything else?

I have been looking for about a week and I can't find info relating to the Newest update.

I have phone flashed, but since MetroPCS does not add ESN to databases anymore, I wanted to change my Evo 3d ESN from Donor phone I own. I tried the open sesame door, but I do not have 0 file and 1943 files.

Can someone assist me in a direction, thread, anything please?

So I've been trying to connect my ps3 controller via usb to my gnote which isn't rooted. I thought I had it worked out yesterday but unfortunaitly today that methods isn't working. Yesterday I noticed that when I connect it after having had it connect to my ps3 under settings/storage it showed up as external mas storage so I pressed unmount, it tried to unmount it then in bottom right under notifications it said error unformatted or blank hard drive, so I disconnected the ps3 controller and otg cable then reset the controller, rebooted the tablet and then plugged controller back into the otg cable then connected to gnote and it worked. Problem is today that method doesn't seem to work.

Has anyone here worked out how to connect the controller every time, without root and without buying an app? I tried the joystick bt/usb app it doesn't work for me and because it connects without an app every other day there should be a sequence that can be followed to just connect without an app. If anyone has worked it out can you please put instructions up on the forum so anyone trying this can easily find and follow them.

Charging is slow, but the battery is 9000mAh which is huge. I plug mine in at night and its fully charged in the morning. Its all about your own expectations I guess.
