texts: Gmail app not displaying status bar notifications

texts:
I recently got an Samsung Galaxy S3, and I prefer the GMail app than the default mail client (the one with the red seal).

The default mail client seems to autocheck for email and displays a notification in the top left corner, but I can't get the native GMail client to do the same. Any suggestions on doing so?


texts:
So, I had the notification record to enable mtp/foto mounting option. It's now disappeared and I'm not able to find it in the settings page.

Can you tell me where is the option to enable MTP?

(I know it's a stupid question I really can't find it)


texts: Can a phone act as computer replacement?

texts:
Given the power of current day smartphones it seems like many could work as basic computer replacements.  In the past Microsoft tried to provide a display dock to turn a Microsoft Phone into a PC. Is there something similar for Android phones?

I guess some of them allow HDMI output, but is the software adapted to work with a keyboard+mouse? Would a phone be able to power/connect to an external hard drive?


texts: rom manager needs to reflash after every reboot

texts:
phone : htc hero.
I've started using rom manager for clockwork mod.
However; it seems that every time I want to reboot into clockwork recovery; I need to reflash it.
Rom manager shows that current recovery is clockwork; but if try rebooting into recovery without reflashing; i get stock recovery (which ofc does not support nandroid backup :D)

Any idea why is this happening and how to prevent it?


texts: How can I lock my phone with a swipe lockscreen along with a fingerprint/PIN?

texts:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 running Android 5.0 on Verizon and would like to have my phone lock for 2-5 minutes with a swipe lockscreen after I sign in with my fingerprint or PIN. After the 2-5 minutes, I'd like the fingerprint or PIN prompt again.

I tend to bump my phone while it's in my pocket and the swipe lock screen prevents unintended actions, but I'd rather not like to put in my PIN or fingerprint multiple times in a short duration.

I had this feature with another S5 on AT&T running 5.1, but it seems that this is not the case on my current phone.

Is there anyway I can do this without using any lockscreen apps?


texts: Google maps makes no sound when interupting music etc

texts: Was there an update to google maps recently that affected this?

Now it still mutes the audio but just doesn't give directions, and then my music just picks up afterwards.


texts:
I just got a Nexus One (Gingerbread), and when I put in my 32GB Micro SDHC it will crash when it tries to read it (copying apps, opening storage settings, etc) and after you have locked the screen it will not come back on (the menu buttons light up, but not the screen)

I re-formatted it on my computer, but when I used it in my phone it would fail again.

The card however works on my old Huawei Ideos u8150 (Froyo) with no problems.

The Nexus one reads the 8GB card that came with it fine.

I would like to know why the Nexus would do this, given that they are spec'd to read a 32GB card. And how to fix it, obviously.

I have now tried formatting it with another phone (along with formatting it with GParted) and it works until you plug it into the computer and copy files onto it. It will then either not mount it or act the same as above.

texts: Corporate Exchange Email Won't Send (stuck in outbox)

texts:
I have a corporate sync account set up to sync my work calendar, contacts and email. I had some trouble setting it up, but once I got it set up it worked just fine for a couple of months. Then about a week ago it stopped sending emails. I can still receive emails. Also, the internet still works on the phone. Gmail still works. Sending and receiving calls and texts still works. But when I send an email it gets stuck in the outbox.

I have tried removing the corporate sync account and adding it back. I have tried restarting the phone multiple times and doing a manual refresh each time. I have tried various combinations of security settings (Use secure connection and Verify Certificate). Nothing helps.

I can't believe no one has asked this yet! Based on the forum posts I have read, it seems like a common problem. Is there some solution waiting in the wings?

How can I add a shortcut with this url to my Homescreen?

When I open this URL in Chrome, the Maps Application starts and shows the desired page/activity. But because of this instant redirect from Chrome to  Maps it's impossible to use chrome's builtin add-to-homescreen feature for this type of URL.
The final Shortcut should open the Maps-App as Chrome already does. The final shortcut may open my browser just for the redirect into Maps, so a simple URL-Shortcut should be fine.
I tried QuickshortcutMaker but it does not offer to add URLs.

texts: What might cause my phone to spontaneously stop booting into its custom ROM and only reboot into recovery mode?

texts:
My phone is a Samsung Vibrant running CyanogenMod 10.0 (Android 4.1.2).  I rebooted my phone, as I do every few days, and instead of starting up CyanogenMod as usual, it dumped me into the ClockworkMod recovery.  No matter how many times I select the option to reboot, the phone always just dumps me back into recovery.

There seems to be something suspect about the /system partition.

Looking at the log under the advanced menu, it says can't mount /system.
Going to the mounts and storage menu and trying to mount /system, I get the error failed to mount /dev/lvpool/system: invalid argument.


texts:
When I start my mobile browser it is usually to browse some other place than what it currently shows, but both firefox and the default browser insist on reloading what random page they hold before I'm able to proceed.

Is there any way to avoid the reload in these browsers?

Edit

The answer from NDgeek works as a workaround for the default browser, but not for Firefox as it requires at least one tab to exist.

After poking around a bit with the two applications, a similar workaround occurred to me, which is to point the active tab to a light-weight page before exiting, e.g. about:blank or about:home, now when the browser is activated it is available quicker.

I'll use the above workaround but as it requires extra work from me before I move away from the browser, I would prefer a more automatic solution.


texts: Nexus 9 stuck in endless reboot loop after trying to root it

texts:
I have tried to root my Nexus 9 using this guide: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-root-google-nexus-9-unlock-bootloader-1473817, but now I'm stuck in an endless reboot loop. I got to the very end, step-17 in the guide.

The loop goes like this:

The four colored dots circling around.
Optimizing applications.
Starting applications.
And then it goes right back to the circling dots instead of starting up as expected.

I had upgraded the device to Android 5.1 and maybe this explains why my device is now stuck in a loop.

I have tried resetting the device and restoring it to factory defaults by powering it on holding both both the power button and the volume up button, but none of this fixes my issue. All it does is change the number of applications it wants to optimize when it's booting.

Any idears on how to get my device to boot properly?

I went to storage settings and followed the instructions to format the SD card. Then, it tells me it's updating memory and my total space available is 32GB remaining.

However, nothing is happening. It still says I have ran out of memory. I have turned off the phone and turned it back on several times. I have also restarted phone. I have formatted SD card many times, but nothing is happening.

This is frustrating, because I deleted so many apps because it's not letting me download or open anything because it's full.

texts:
I turned off my wifi connection and noticed a heavy impact on my battery life. In a few hours without any usage, it dropped more than the whole day before.

See the drop at end while wifi (WLAN) was disabled:

There are many issues where battery life is reduced when wifi is turned on but not when turned off. What could cause this and how can I fix this? Could it be using some mobile data connection that drains the battery more than wifi or is it a device problem?

While wifi was on, it was actually connected to a network. There is no increase in mobile data usage. No suspicious increase for battery consumption for any particular app. Top consuming apps are:

idle 40%
display 19%
mobile standby 18%
android os 13%
wifi 6%
google services %4
android system 2%

Update: It looks like it's constantly switching between E, 3G, H and H+ every few minutes, even without moving the phone. In 2G mode the connection seems to be stable and the battery loss is gone.


texts: How to recover contacts from backed up galaxy S2 (gingerbread) files

texts:
I recently gave my old Galaxy S2 to a friend as I just got an S3 and before I did, I copied the "My Files" folder from my phone to this computer via USB debugging mode and then factory reset the phone.

I have since noticed that I had saved a few of my contacts on my old phone rather than to the sim since when I put the new sim in, there are some missing contacts. I was wondering how I might recover the contacts I had saved to my old phone from the copy of files I made on this computer.

I have the following files:

texts: How to update Galaxy Nexus from 4.0.2 to 4.2?

texts:
I had a Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.2.1 and it broke. My insurance replaced it, so I have a new Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.0.2. The new phone doesn't show that any system updates are available. (Well, I think it updated from 4.0.0 to 4.0.2 as soon as I turned it on, but nothing since then.) How do I update it to 4.2?

(Sorry if I'm not giving enough information; I'm new and I'm not sure what's relevant.)

QUESTION RESPONSES:
-I am in Canada and my provider is Mobilicity.
-I have tried going to About Phone -> System Updates and nothing shows up.  When I first got the phone, it updated from like 4.0.0 or 4.0.1 to 4.0.2, but that's all that has showed up.  I also tried clearing the cache and force stopping Google Services Framework, as suggested in another thread.
-I don't really know what it means to install the update manually; I guess I'm willing to, but I feel that something must be wrong because this is the exact same phone (as far as I can tell) I've had for the last year with the exact same provider.  When I got this phone one year ago, it ran Jelly Bean automatically, so I don't get why this one wouldn't do the same automatically.

NEW INFO:
-Sometimes when I click System Updates, after it says there no updates available and shows "Last checked for updates" as the current time, it starts downloading a 41.2 MB "Android System Update".  After it downloads, it restarts and gets that picture of the robot having surgery, but it's still running 4.0.2.

I don't think this question is a duplicate of the one posted, because this is a case where I know there is an official update from the carrier/manufacturer, but my phone isn't seeing it.

I noticed another thing: when it downloads the "Android System Update" and restarts, the picture of the robot starts off as a green guy standing up with a blue thing spinning in his chest, but then it changes to the green guy laying down with a red caution triangle over his chest.  Does that tell me anything?


texts: Device keeps on asking me to sign into my wifi network

texts:
This issue just started today and I am at my wit's end because my phone still asks me to sign in to a wifi network which I have been using perfectly well for the past week.

These are the details:

I'm using Samsung Note 4
I can use other wifi networks since the issue started, but I can't use the one at home.
I can go online but it disconnects automatically after a few seconds.
Page directs me directly to google and there isn't any sign in prompt there
Nobody else is having the same problem that I have

These are the remedies that I've tried:

Obvious reset of router/phone, I've even restored the router to default and reconfigured it again (still didn't work)
Changed wifi setting from DHCP to Static, sign in prompt disappeared but so did the internet
Cleared cache data
Took out my sim and turned it off for a few minutes (still didn't help)
Downloaded a few apps which were suggested by a few forums I read, nothing happened.

I hope anyone can suggest something that I haven't tried before, thank you.


texts: Whatsapp reply via notification not working

texts:
I am currently on Android 9 Pie. Whenever I get a Whatsapp message and I try to reply to it from notification, it freezes. More frustratingly, it doesnt happen everytime but say 1 out of 3 times it happens.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Receive a Whatsapp message
2. Click Reply on notification
3. Type message in notification
4. Click Arrow (send) button.

Result:
The arrow turns to a circular progress bar and the notification stays like that. The message is not sent.

I have tried clean installing whatsapp, it still persists. Not sure if anyone else is facing this. No other apps like Telegram or even the  SMS app is having any such problem.

Any solution will be helpful. Thanks.

texts:
Lately I've been having trouble keeping a connection to Wi-Fi, first at home and now at work.  What happens is that after a while I'll notice that my phone is using 3G.
If I go into my Wi-Fi settings, I'll see a strong signal from my router. When I try to connect manually,  I often get the message,  "Failed to connect to network" with no further details.  (There's a special place in hell for those who write error messages that give no indication of the nature of the problem.) Other times I can connect,  but the signal is reported as weak and drops quickly.
My computers can connect with no problems and report strong wireless signals.  My roommates have no similar problems.
I have a Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean.  My roommates have a Galaxy Note and a Galaxy S2, respectively,  both on ICS.
What's wrong with my phone?
Additional details

My phone is rooted but running the stock ROM.
My phone is the international GSM version.
I first noticed this problem while using Tasker to implement a Bluetooth wireless leash. I've stopped using the leash--and Bluetooth entirely--but the problem persists. I'm still using Tasker for other things.
In trying to track down this issue, I disabled "Avoid poor connections" but that change had no effect.
I'm willing to consider flashing stuff to my phone as a last resort, but I strongly prefer alternative solutions. I didn't have problems initially, so I doubt the radio is to blame. Furthermore, I will down vote any answer that provides an incompatible ROM/radio, etc. or that provides it from a non-reputable source.


texts: Permission denied when accessing file pushed using boot insecure into my Nexus 4 with Android 5.0.1

texts:
I have a Nexus 4 with Android 5.0.1. I copy a file doing the following:

I reboot to bootloader
Boot using insecure boot.img: fastboot boot boot.img
Pushed a file: adb push IMG_20140710_105128.jpg /sdcard/DCIM/Camera/
Set permissions and ownership as the other files using adb shell chmod ... and adb shell chown ....

See sample:

-rw-rw-r-- root     sdcard_rw  2033519 2014-07-10 10:51 IMG_20140710_105128.jpg
-rw-rw-r-- root     sdcard_rw  2684444 2014-12-04 16:08 IMG_20141204_160833.jpg
-rw-rw-r-- root     sdcard_rw  2271545 2014-12-06 16:14 IMG_20141206_161444.jpg

I reboot normally and go to a Terminal Emulator and type ls -la in the same directory. I get "Permission denied" when trying to list the file I copied (IMG_20140710_105128.jpg) and is unreadable under all programs.

lstat './IMG_20140710_105128.jpg' failed: Permission denied
-rw-rw-r-- root     sdcard_rw  2684444 2014-12-04 16:08 IMG_20141204_160833.jpg
-rw-rw-r-- root     sdcard_rw  2271545 2014-12-06 16:14 IMG_20141206_161444.jpg

What is happening? Why is this doing this? I have root access to modify everything by using the boot insecure method. Are permissions changing when I reboot normally? Any ideas? It happens with all files I push. It doesn't matter the partition where I put it. I tried to do ls -la as root after rebooting normally and I got the same error.

texts: How to wipe data on a bootloader-locked, broken screen, Nexus 6P

texts:
I want to sell my Nexus 6P for parts, but I want to wipe it first. The screen of my Nexus 6P broke (internally, the touchscreen MIGHT be fine, idk). The phone is full-disk encrypted with a PIN and the bootloader is locked (no root). I can't fully boot the phone since it will be stuck on the FDE pin entry.

As we know the Nexus 6P does not have external monitor support - so this is not an option. I do have ADB and Fastboot access, but commands like

fastboot erase userdata

are blocked, since the bootloader is locked. Also various adb shell commands did not work.

What I tried:

ADB Shell: Recovery --wipe_data

adb shell
recovery --wipe_data
/system/bin/sh: recovery: not found

source

ADB Shell: Wipe Data

adb shell
wipe data
/system/bin/sh: wipe: not found

source

Fastboot: Wipe

adb devices       # Check the phone is running
adb reboot bootloader
# Wait a few seconds
fastboot devices  # Check the phone is in bootloader
fastboot -w       # Wipe user data
Erasing 'userdata'   FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot erase)

source

Fastboot: Erase

adb devices       # Check the phone is running
adb reboot bootloader
# Wait a few seconds
fastboot devices  # Check the phone is in bootloader
fastboot erase userdata
Erasing 'userdata'   FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot erase)

source

So the question is, what are my options to wipe my phone?

texts: google play uses wrong account for in-app purchases

texts:
Problem:
When trying to purchase in-app items, google play selects the wrong google account and do not allow the user to correct it.

Scenario:
I have two google accounts, one private and one business. The private account is the default in google play when buying and installing apps. Though when trying an in-app purchase, the business account is choosen and cannot be changed. In my case, this prohibits me in-app purchases.

Further notes:
Uninstalling/reinstalling app to be sure the correct account is used in google play has no affect.

Haven't tried removing the business account and see how it affects the in-app purchases as I'm reluctant to do so. (Other way around would have been better:)

texts: Samsung Galaxy S plus is becoming unresponsive when locked

texts:
My samsung was working away perfectly yesterday and then was on my bedside locker when I tried to check the time the lock screen came up very faded almost its hard to describe but it was unresponsive otherwise e.g would not open would not turn off etc. so I pulled the battery (this may be bad for it I'm not sure) so I turned it on and it was working away fine but then I locked it and it became completely unresponsive, no lights nothing so I pulled the battery again and the same thing is happening.

Does anyone know whats causing this or a way to fix it. I'm hoping it's not serious as I just bought this 2 weeks ago!


texts: Sony Xperia E can't install apps caused by storage problems

texts:
I've got a problen with my Sony Xperia E (Android 4.1.1.).
In the settings it says there's still 1.37 Gb free storage but when trying to install an app (about 20mb) from google play I just get an error telling me there's not enought free storage left. I don't have root and I don't want to root my device.

I know this problem has been discussed several times on the internet and here in the forum but I couldn't find a working solution.

I'm hoping anyone can help.

texts: How to avoid leaking private data to apps without rooting my phone?

texts:
The majority of apps on the Play Store require access to things like location, contacts, call log, identity, SMS, etc., even when the app functionality clearly doesn't need this information to work.

I read somewhere that for rooted devices there's an app that can provide fake data to other apps, thus protecting the users privacy.

But I don't want to root because of security issues (I haven't really researched it much, but I don't think there's much control over what goes into the modified system images).

Is there a solution to this? At the moment I just don't install apps that require too much, which leaves me with very feel options in some cases.

Ideally there would be some way to block the access to certain data, even when I install apps that want that access.

Thanks.


texts: How can I programmatically filter incoming traffic on an Android device via an app?

texts:
I need some pretty thorough guidance on a project I've been tasked with. I guess ideally I am looking for either a tutorial (or set of tutorials), or else a working, self-contained, open-source codebase for an Android app that can filter all incoming internet traffic on the Android device based on keywords.
In particular, the app will stop incoming HTTPS traffic for any given web request if the requested URL or webpage (not just the domain) has certain keywords in the HTML or the URL. If a request does not have the keywords, it will be allowed through and the device will function normally. If it is not an HTML or TXT request -- if there is no text to analyze except the URL -- then it will look for keywords in the full URL alone.
By self-contained, what I mean is that it should not require a remote proxy server or remote VPN.
I have searched Google for such a thing. I've searched in GitHub.
I've seen plenty of tutorials for setting up a local proxy or VPN... all point-and-click kinds of tutorials. I need something programmatic.
I've found libraries that supposedly allow you to set up a proxy from inside an Android app, but their documentation is too cryptic and there are no step-by-step examples for them, so I can never make them work.
I've found a few open-source apps that do some of this, but aren't quite what I'm looking for. Nothing that really does what I need it to. I've tried to alter the apps that I've found to turn them into what I want, but my knowledge is so limited and the missing pieces are always too numerous.
I've been working on this for months. Sad, I know.
Can anyone point me to a fairly thorough tutorial (or a set of tutorials) that will help me to build such an app? Or, can anyone point me to an existing open-source app like what I'm looking for? Or even something that comes pretty close?
FWIW, giving me broad advice like "you need to set up a local VPN and a local proxy, with a certificate, and then use the proxy to filter traffic" won't be of any help to me. I already know the broad outline of what I should probably do. I just can't figure out how to do it, and can't find any good resources for guidance! Which is why I'm here...
Thanks in advance!

My happiness turned to despire when I realised that to have Android0based cell means to have a mandatory GMail account and an mandatory sync of all data to Google even if one just wants to sync just PC and cell in good old fashioned way. :(

I am not comfortable being forced to use GMail, moreover I don't want an online sync! I just want my phone and my PC to be in sync. Is there any other good way to achieve this without smashing my cell to pieces and hating Google for the rest of my life?

I am really unhappy that Google is this ruthless for data, maybe I made a mistake switching. Please help me if any of you have a solution, I have invested quite a lot blindly trusting Google. :(

So now we have excellent adopted storage that lets us use the
SDcard like it should have always worked. So far so good.

However upgrading from Lollipop via titanium backup hits a snag - TB will always stick the restored apps to internal storage even if adoptive storage is the default after data migrate. Sure you can move them one by one but with 100 apps that's a LOT of fiddling. Is there any way to automate this? A console command to rerun the data migrate?

Link2SD does not work with AS as far as I know. App MGR III claims to have 1-click move but at least on the free version it just plops you into the app info page.

texts: How to find the pathname of the swap partition on SD card?

texts:
As this warns, you should not enable swap on the wrong partition or you can destroy your phone:

  OK before we go any further! previous phones had a partition layout where mmcblck0 was the SDcard (external) our phone uses mmcblck1 for the external sd. This is important because if you use an app it may be preset to use mmcblck0 as swap partition.using this setting will cause you to use your sbl2 or sbl3 as swap partition.this will brick your phone and unbrick guide will be useles.

So the swap partition might be /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 if I have 3 partitions (fat32, sdext, swap) on my SD card, or /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 if I have 2 partitions (fat43 and swap) or /dev/block/mmcblk1p? if you have a different phone, etc. and the wrong choice can brick your phone.

How do you find out which partition is which?  It should be the only partition on any drive of the phone with the swap filesystem.

fdisk -l does this on Ubuntu, but outputs nothing in Android
blkid does not show the swap partition
cat /proc/partitions lists a lot of partitions, but doesn't indicate which is the swap
cat /proc/swaps only lists swaps that are already being used
cat /proc/mtd only says dev: size erasesize name and nothing else
ls /dev/block/vold lists some partitions as 179:64 179:65 179:66, but doesn't indicate what they are?
4ext recovery will show it in the table of partitions (swap swap 129 MiB), but doesn't say the dev name
...

Even if there's no command line tool to print it directly, surely there's a way to deduce it from some other information??


texts: Is it possible to access speech-to-text audio clips for debugging?

texts:
Is there a way to access the audio clip that gets used for Google's speech-to-text transcribing?

I've been getting increasingly inaccurate output using Google's speech-to-text output. After discovering my Samsung phone has more than one microphone, I'm  wondering if perhaps this could have to do with either which microphone is getting used, and/or if there's any audio processing being applied which is affecting accuracy.

If I could debug these waveform/recordings myself, I could at least see whether the input itself is the source of the inaccuracy, or whether it's something else.

background:

I have a new phone, Google Pixel 2, that does not have a 3.5 mm headphone jack
about 4 times out of 5 times when I try to use wired headphones --> the sound does not come out of the headphones but instead is emitted from the phone's speakers

things i've tried:

I have tried unplugging and plugging in the "USB-C to 3.5 mm headphone adapter" (or just "USB to headphone adapter" for short) and sometimes this gets the audio to come out of the headphones.
But many times no matter how many times (10+ times) I try unplugging/plugging the "USB to headphone adapter" into the phone... the audio does not come out of the headphones.

When no sound comes out of wired headphones connected to "USB to headphone adapter", how do you get the sound to work?

I can connect to the Synology home page using a browser on the phone so network connectivity is OK. Do I need to disable/enable firewall/sharing settings on the phone?

texts: Google Play Services: Wrong Architecture. Can't change

texts:
So I've got a problem with Google Play services where it's stuck in an arm64-v8a architecture while my phone's is armeabi-v7a. It happened when I tried installing a beta version of Google Play Services 10.5.35 for arm/arm64 (XYZ=448). I quickly received the error about an incorrect architecture for my phone (Alcatel Pixi 4, android 6.0. I have a 16GB SD card formatted as internal storage. Google Play Services is built into the phone).

I've tried installing other apks which should work (438/430, beta and non-beta) but they simply gave the error "App not installed" when I did.
I've tried uninstalling Google Play Services' updates but couldn't find the option to do so (or at least, it's not where it should be according to some websites).
I've performed a factory reset (without restoring a backup).
I've tried using Apk Installer.

Still, nothing has worked and the error remains. I need some way to get Google Play Services to the latest version, preferably beta. Also, I'd really like to avoid rooting my phone. I'd be so grateful for any help!

texts: Understanding why an app-supported link opens in the browser first

texts:
This is primarily an attempt at understanding what's going on (and whose fault the shitty UX is ). I don't think there's anything I can do to fix it and that's fine, I'm okay with that.
The situation
I have a subscription to the New York Times. I have their app installed, and I'm subscribed to their email newsletter. When I open one of these emails, they contain a link to the article at the end, which looks like https://nl.nytimes.com/f/newsletter/[id]. This obviously contains an article reference, as well as probably some tracking code for my subscription.
When I click that link in Gmail...
What I would love to happen is:
Android's app selector dialog pops up and asks me whether I'd like to open this in the NYT app, or one of my browsers.
The app is fine, but sometimes I might want to have it in the browser instead for various reasons.
What I would expect to happen is:
That it just jumps directly to the NYT app.
Not my prefered solution, but I think my use case is bit unusual and just going to the app is probably what most users would expect after installing the app.
What actually happens:
Android's app selector dialog pops up and asks me to select one of my browsers (but not the NYT app!). After selecting one, the browser pops up for a split second, then makes way for the NYT app.
What... the hell!?
That makes no sense, is a bad experience and provides no benefits!
Whose fault is this? Does the app not register the correct URL intent? If so, any theories as to why they didn't?
Or is this a flaw in Android's intent system and the app did the best it could?
Or do the browsers do anything they're not supposed to? (I have Chrome and Flynx installed, btw. With intentionally none of them selected as a 'default' -- I want to get the selector modal each time.)

texts:
I have a Motorola Milestone, and sometimes when I press Home to go back to the Home Screen, the screen shows no application icons, no widgets.

The phone seems normal, no slowness, the app drawer opens up normally.

The only solution I thought was to restart the phone. I don't use any task killer.

I also noticed this started to happen recently, after installing many applications. And it normally happens after running some heavy app, like Angry Birds.

Did anyone notice this too?

I own an Asus Transformer TF101 and finally the official upgrade to ICS has been released.

I remember some ICS video previews where they said that ICS would have native support for gamepad/controllers and I have some questions about it:

How can I understand if a market available USB gamepad is compatible with ICS?
Is there a list of already supported devices?
I also own a Microsoft PC Wireless controller, do you know if there is a driver written for ICS that supports that dongle?


texts: Auto-Enhance Multiple Photos In Gallery?

texts:
Is there a way to auto-enhance multiple selected photos without picking one by one which supposedly takes more time since it returns me to start of photos list and I have to navigate and find last photo I shot and once again navigate to "Auto-Enchance" option.

If there's only app that can accomplish that, it is fine, I would like to know which one is it.

texts: Why does Nexus 5 only allow up to 0.8 second exposure?

texts:
Apparently with Lollipop it's possible to get more control of the camera. For example, it's possible to set the shutter speed. This does work, but only allows 0.8 seconds exposure on my Nexus 5, and apparently on some other phones you can choose a longer exposure time.

What is the reason for this?


texts: Adoptable Storage not using full SD card space since changing cards

texts:
I've got a strange issue going on with my adoptable storage setup. I have a SONY Xperia XA Ultra.

I initially got it working with a Sandisk 32GB Class 10 card. I adopted the entire card, and the Device storage went from "Total used of 16 GB" to "Total used of 48GB".

But then I had the bright idea to use one of my 64 GB cards, also Sandisk Class 10.

I repeated the process again, after reverting the 32GB back to portable of course, and adopted the entire 64GB card.

This time however only 16GB of the card was adopted, with the rest of the card basically lost. I couldn't see or access the rest of the card. Even with the Freespace app that part of the card just didn't exist.

So I reverted that and tried to adopt just 32GB, thinking maybe there is a limit to how much can be adopted. Same problem, only 16GB was adopted.

So I gave up, reverted that and went back to the 32GB card and adopted the whole card again. Only 16GB was adopted.

I tried 2 other cards a 64 & a 32, same problem.

And yes, I did migrate data and reboot each time. I even did a software repair before my last attempt.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

texts: How can I hide the on-screen buttons but keep the status bar

texts:
I have a Galaxy Nexus (rooted, if that helps) and I want to disable the on-screen buttons (back, home, apps), also called the Navigation Bar. Now there are plenty of apps (e.g. Hide Bottom Bar) that remove the buttons, but since they are based on killing some Android process (I believe), they also remove the Status Bar (on top of the screen).

Now I would like to keep the status bar, but only remove the on-screen buttons (because I would like to use gestures instead). Any way to achieve this?


texts: Bluetooth headphone volume buttons make big steps

texts:
When I change music volume using the volume buttons on my bluetooth headphones, each click moves the volume 2 or 3 volume steps (compared to when I change volume using the volume buttons on my phone itself). This often means that it jumps right from too loud to too quiet, so I have to dig out my phone to get the volume to a comfortable level.
I've already tried Developer Options > Disable absolute volume, which didn't seem to make any difference. I'm using a Pixel 2 (stock Android 11) with Soundcore Life Q20 headphones.


texts: Note 9 Device Care shows lots of videos that don't exist

texts:
The issue is that my phone keeps telling me it is running out of space. I found this very strange, since I always delete a lot of stuff after backing it up. I went into Device Care, and on the simplified view it shows me I have 10MB of Photos and 2.3GB of videos (all normal there), but when I click on the Advanced view it shows I have over 44GB of Photos and Videos (that is not normal).
So there is a HUGE discrepancy between the simplified view (which I believe is correct) and the Advanced view. You can click on the "Photos and Videos" tab and it will open up the Gallery where it shows ... 1 video (which is 2.3GB in size), and a handful of photos.
I started noticing this after I started recording my Guild's matches (in a mobile game) to share it with my Guild. After uploading those videos I'd immediately delete them off of my phone.
I'm guessing that the built in Screen Recorder is, perhaps, making a backup of those videos somewhere? Or when I delete those Screen Recordings the space isn't being freed up properly?
I've tried Restarting, Shutting Down for a minute then turning it back on, deleting the Cache for most of my apps (including google services, device care, etc), searched every folder and sub-folder on my phone to try and find these videos but found none.
Anyone got any ideas, other than a factory reset?

texts: How can I merge SMS and Hangouts messages within Hangouts?

texts:
It made sense to me to merge SMS, WhatsApp style messaging and video calls into one app to save resources and switching between apps so I set up Hangouts to be the SMS app.

I just had one problem - how to send SMS messages from Hangouts? (If I know the person has a problem with data reception, then I do specifically want to send an SMS at that time, for instance.)

According to Google:

"Choose a contact from your conversations list. Touch someone's name at the top. You can then choose SMS from the drop-down menu."

But that is not true in practice. It appears the reason I couldn't do that was because I was in the "hangout" for Hangout messages (I will call it MoIP - Message over IP - in the following) and video calls for that person, not the SMS "hangout" for that person.

Integrating the two in one app and then separating them seems to be going half a step backwards again, so does anybody know if I can merge those two hangouts and do SMS, MoIP and video calls to a person from the same "hangout"?

My phone is a Moto G 1st generation without 4G (XT1032) with Android 5.0 "Lollipop".

My USB flash drive was plugged into an infected PC, and now it contains viruses. Actually, that flash drive was filled with stuff I wanted to transfer to my Android. So I decided to use that flash drive on my phone anyway (via otg) considering those PC viruses would not affect an Android.

texts:
I'm using MacBook Air(MacOS Sierra) and have installed Android File Transfer on it.

The problem I'm getting occurs sometimes and works well the other time.

When I connect my phone with my PC with a USB cable, no option is shown on the phone screen about the "Use USB for" which should show 3 options:

Charging only
Transfer Files(MTP)
Transfer photos

Rather the phone starts getting charged without the above option occurring.

As mentioned above, this problem occurs sometimes but not every time.

I've also selected the "USB Debugging feature to tackle with the above problem but it doesn't seem to help.

texts: "Android is upgrading... Starting Apps" on boot

texts:
I have a Galaxy S3 phone with android version 4.1.2.  I have not upgraded my phone recently nor have I rooted the phone.

This afternoon when I turned on my phone, I got a message saying "Android is Upgrading... Starting Apps" for a few seconds, then gave me my lock screen and a few seconds after I unlocked my phone, it automatically restarted.  Since then, every time I restart my phone, I get that message for a few seconds before I get my lock screen, but it does not automatically restart my phone any more.

I currently do not have a photograph of the message nor can I find one online.

Most of the references that I have seen refer to rooting and dalvik cache, but I do not think this is the case since I have not rooted my phone and using the stock 4.1.2 for the Galaxy S3.

The most recent app that I installed was Cartwheel yesterday.

The only other problem I had was that a week or two ago, my phone seemed to have gone into 'Factory Mode' (see picture in the first post of the linked thread (not my actually phone).  I seemed to have solved the issue by inputting *#87976633# into the Dialer. You could see the solution (and an example picture in the first post in the thread) HERE.

I thank you in advance for any suggestions.

I'd like to know if there is a way to run an android app on a closed circuit minimalist type of android VM on an android device so that I can have a full control of what the app has access to and when it is allowed to run.
I'm asking this because I have to use the facebook messenger app (the mobile browser version of facebook doesn't allow you to use instant messaging anymore) and this app causes a HUGE power drain, as well as a big privacy issue (that app has access to almost anything on the smartphone)
I know that it is still possible to use the desktop browser version on android but it takes more time to load than the adapted client.
Also if there is another client that I could use to replace messenger while still using their messaging system, that would answer the question.
Thank you in advance


texts: Gmail app doesn't sync email at all when on Mobile Data

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I love the new Gmail app. Works awesome. My only problem is that it doesn't sync emails (I don't receive any new notifications when new emails arrive, I have to manually click refresh in the app which is annoying) when I'm on Mobile Data.

I guess I could use the Email app but I don't like that as much as the Gmail app.

texts: Possible cause for not sending SMS messages on one of two Moto Gs

texts:
I have two Motorolas Moto G:

from the same line (new, purchased in the same place in one month period),
with the same operating system -- now Marshmallow 6.0.1,
using exactly the same GSM provider / GSM network,
used in the same location and thus probably connecting to the same network cell,
connecting to exactly the same WiFi networks (if that matters),
having exactly the same phone configuration,
even having exactly the same set of applications installed.

For past 2-3 months one of these two Motorolas has a constant problem with sending SMSes. I just can't count number of times I saw "Message not sent. Tap to retry" message on one of these Moto Gs, while on the other one I didn't see this message even once so far.

What can be possible source of this problem or what steps can I undertake to try to investigate it?

Note: I can post the specifications, if required.

texts: Nexus 4 won't charge or boot (red light)

texts:
I have been reading a bunch of articles on ways to fix this "red light" issue. My issue seems a bit different from most articles as the red light does not show up when I plug in my charger. Articles I have read seems like most "red light" appears when they have the charger plugged, but my issue is that the red light only shows up when I have my charger plugged AND holding down the power button for several seconds. Without holding down the power/power+volume down button, the red light doesn't blink at all.

What I have tried:

Unscrewing the two screws for the battery, as some article has stated
it was a design flaw where the screws tighten causes the battery
connector to not work.
Replaced battery with a new one, nothing    different, still
unresponsive phone.
Left charger plugged into phone    for 24 hours, phone does not get
warm/hot so I doubt the charger is    even charging the phone. (no
red light)
Used Qi wireless charger,    phone got really warm but still nothing.

If anyone had this issue and solved it, please inform me on how you did so. I'm not sure if it is a battery issue or some other component but would like to get to the bottom of this. Before this happened, my phone was being charged using a car charger and I noticed the charger was loose so the charging indicator kept blinking on and off rapidly. I believe that may have drained the battery to 0% but I did replace the battery with a new one and issue was not fixed. Hope the seller didn't send me a dead battery as well.

lock screen disabled

Is there any way to define how much storage space an app can use?

I'm tired of uninstalling apps, deleting apps data and deleting files to see the newly freed space begin swallowed in just  some hours by those "storage abusive" apps!

The worst of all is that I have real needs with some of those apps.
Take Outlook for example, it wastes space caching old e-mails that I'll not read and it lacks any settings to control this behavior. I use it with my personal and work accounts and cleaning its data means going through the authentication steps again... for each of the accounts... on a daily basis... and it's just one of those problematic apps...

Using the "delete things" method repeatedly\constantly looks just dumb, a poor made process design choice...

And i don't care about loss of functionality, they'll have to deal with whatever space i judge them worthy having. =)

I just transferred phones from a Motorola Droid 2 to the Galaxy S III.  I usually use Handcent, but forgot to back up my SMS before the new phone was activated.  Now I have all my old SMS logs on the Droid, which can't back up because I have no data stream.

I've found multiple apps that can save SMS to the SD card and downloaded them to the S3, however I can't move any of those apps to the SD card to transfer the SD card to the Droid and install the SMS to SD backup app there.

I've tried using this Guide but even then, the apps won't move to the SD card. I don't want to root my new phone just to get an app transferred off it.

texts: Inaccurate Battery Consumption Metrics: Is This Behavior Normal?

texts:
I own a OnePlus6 running OxygenOS 9.0.9. I noticed that lately my battery doesn't last as long as it used to. I used the Battery Monitor app to check if there's anything suspicious. This is what I noticed:

In this screenshot my battery is at 88% (12% consumed), yet, the app consumption sums up to 8% as opposed to the 12% that is actually consumed.

Is this behavior normal? Is the remaining 4% being consumed by the OS or is there some rogue app that's consuming my battery?


texts: How to stop "Make your phone more social" prompts?

texts:
Alcatel One Touch 983, firmware version 2.3.7.
I am frequently interrupted with a black screen displaying this prompt:

Make your phone more social
Authorize the synchronizing which will make it easier for you to connect more with friends, share photos and links, and receive event reminders and notifications.
Allow Skip

At first I thought it was Facebook, but then found that it was continuing after I killed the Facebook app. Moreover, it seems to stop when I switch my phone off and on again, but I don't know what's triggering it to start doing it again. Once started, it will sometimes pop up at minutely intervals, whether I tap Allow or Skip.
I'm not sure what it's actually doing. In any case, what can I do to stop this frequent interruption? A way to stop it for good would be preferable, but failing that, I would welcome advice on how to stop it for the time being without having to shut my phone down and possibly lose something I'm in the middle of doing.

texts: I've got a company owned Android phone that needs to be wiped to prepare it for re-use, but it's locked with a passcode.  I also do not see it listed in our MDM software, so I can't force a remote wipe that way.  It appears that it could be wiped with a Google account, but I do not know what Google account it may have been linked to.  Is there a way to expose which Google account it was attached to in the hopes it's one we have access to?  Or is there a way to totally reset it to factory and wipe the data?

texts: Error "FAILED (data transfer failure (Value too large for defined data type))" While Flashing Nexus 4

texts:
I have a Nexus 4 that was soft bricked during an OTA update. I have tried to flash several factory images to it and every time it gave me the error  "FAILED (data transfer failure (Value too large for defined data type))". When I tried to flash Occam 4.4 it seemed to finish without any problems. Now when I try to boot it up it doesn't get past the Google screen. I have left it on the Google screen for over an hour and tried wiping the cache and factory reseting it but it is still stuck on the Google screen. Also I tried to flash Occam 4.4 again but the same error displayed when I tried. The bootloader on the phone is unlocked. Can anyone help me either with getting past the Google screen or re-installing Occam on it?  I run Windows 7 and Ubuntu 16.04

Note USB De-bugging is not activated

texts: Is there a larger interface for older owners?

texts:
Does anyone know of a larger visual interface for older owners on android phones?  It seems to me that most programmers haven't experienced over 40 eyesight.  :-)  Much less over 50, 60 etc.

Having an option for larger icons and text throughout the phone would be a fantastic.  I know a slew of over 40 folks who are technically savvy but have to wear reader glasses to see the phone interface well.


texts:
There are multiple questions in Android Enthusiasts addressing the possibility of streaming music to an Android device, where the point of control is the said device.

I need something slightly different.  Suppose when I come home, I plug my Android device on my stereo system, and work on my laptop.  Now, I want to play an mp3/webradio/the sound of a movie/white noise in my stereo system, using my Android device while not moving from my chair.  What are the softwares to do so?

Simply put: I want to beam sound through wifi, to my Android device, from and controlled by my laptop.  The only solution I can think of is to open a tunnel to the Android sound device and ask my playing software to send the sound to it.

Technical details: Tablet Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1; Laptop with Linux.

Thanks a lot.


texts: How to fix DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET on an Android tablet?

texts:
What I notice:

I can't connect on my tablet to the Internet in applications (Android Chrome, Youtube app, Facebook, etc.) My tablet says it is connected to the Wireless router. The router seems to be OK, my phone can connect to and get access to the Internet, my tablet fails to go online, Chrome reports DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET, other apps say that my device is offline.

I have set up a webserver on my computer connected to the same network and my tablet can connect to it via the IP address and port number of the http server, which makes me conclude that my tablet has some DNS related problem.

If I try to access some website via its IP address e.g. 23.21.146.13 (wdl.org, World Digital Library) the Chrome browser reports ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE.

Steps I have already taken:

Restarted the tablet
Shutdown for longer than 10mins as a recommended way for flushing DNS
Chrome Cache cleared
Removed the Wifi-Network from the list of Wireless networks and reconnected
Tried connecting to the router with a manually set static IP, made no difference (but with DHCP the tablet was not showing an IP)
rebooted router

Some device info:

Model: Asus ME173X
Android version: 4.2.2
Kernel version: 3.4.5
Chrome version: 55.0.2883.91

My desktop computer and my smartphone have no problem connecting the Internet via the same router.
