If your phone is stable up to the 1.2GHz range, then try some of the ultra low voltage kernels.  If you start getting force closes, then switch back to a low voltage kernel.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Basically each phone (of the same phone brand/model) varies by which kernel it can handle due to the manufacturing differences between processors.

Otherwise it uses very little memory.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Killing a process when it isn’t ready only causes it to have to reload itself and start from scratch when it’s needed again.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Because a task is likely running in the background for a reason, killing it will only cause it to re-spawn as soon as the activity that was using it looks for it again. And it will just have to start over again.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Killing certain processes can have undesirable side effects. Not receiving text messages, alarms not going off, and force closes just to name a few.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;The only true way to prevent something from running at all on your phone would be to uninstall the .apk.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Most applications will exit themselves if you get out of it by hitting “back” until it closes rather than hitting the “home” button.

So in short yes there is a potential.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will it void my warranty?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It mostly depends on where you live and on your manufacturer (and their warranty policies).

Some manufacturer provide updates for rooted devices while others do not. These will usually continue to come in and may unroot your phone if you install them, or even require you to unroot manually before you can receive their updates.

Specifically, many applications don't need to run in the background in order to present themselves to the user as if they had never stopped running, so long as they save/restore their state.  Applications which must perform periodic operations (like checking mail or popping up alarms) don't need to run continuously in the background either; they can invoked occasionally by the OS.  The big issue is usually applications which need constant CPU while in the background, like Pandora.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In general, Apple has worked much harder to discourage or prevent continuously-running background applications, whereas Android seems more open to it.  But they are converging, as Apple allows apps like Pandora to run in the background and Android provides richer tools to discourage needless background tasks when polling or saved state would suffice.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_multitasking&quot;&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_multitasking&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerDisplayName="user28" LastActivityDate="2010-09-16T04:44:20.507" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

There is more of a disconnect between data, how to view the data, and how to operate on the data.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can only have one app view open at a time, but the operation on the data can be going in the background.  This makes it tough for application developers to make it feel like the desktop when switching between apps, quitting apps, and starting new apps.  It sometimes feels impossible to kill an app, but it also sometimes feels like it is impossible to switch to one task and back again.  It depends on how the app developer did it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can have as many background processes going at once, and they are scheduled like desktop apps.  The Linux kernel will choose how to prioritize which ones get memory and CPU resources.  When the phone decides it's out of memory, it will start killing things to make more memory.  This is done differently than the way Linux or most other OSs normally behave.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The data of a program is always available.  As long as the app has permissions to access the data, it is available.  You don't need a service running in the background for it to be available.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Apple has very specific ways in which you can multitask.  They are a subset of the ways that Android allows.  Only specific types of apps can run in the background and they have to be specifically programmed to do so.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A desktop is very different from both of these things.  Each application's view, data, and data processing logic are often locked together.  I would say that WebOS, Symbian, and Maemo/Meego are examples of this on mobile devices.  If an application does expose it's data and background processing to other &quot;views&quot;, it will tend to be a very special application.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerDisplayName="ClashTheBunny" LastActivityDate="2010-09-16T04:44:20.507" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

Then I get to work and my battery is down to about 75%-70%. I usually charge it but if I don't then I will be out of battery by about 6PM. So thats 9 hours of battery life. The commute back is pretty much the same, battery will be dead before I get home.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't want to give up on instant notifications, so the 3G will always be on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I went camping for a weekend I turned all of the above polling off and only checked Twitter about 4 times, didn't use the phone for the rest of the day. Battery life improved slightly to about 14 hours.

Exact model number, carrier, CDMA or GSM, etc. The more specific you can be about the phone you have the better.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Typically the process for getting Android on a WinMo phone is this, unlock with a custom bootloader, install a newer radio (not always required, depends), install a custom ROM, and then install Android using your preferred method. You mileage will vary as the process for installing a custom ROM differs for each phone manufacturer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are 2 main methods. 1 install HBOOT and run Android from the SD card and memory. This is preferred by me and many others because it doesn't disrupt the actual phone itself, rather it runs on top of your WinMo phone. This means you can keep your WinMo phone in tact and can easily go back to it any time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2 flash Android ROM over WinMo and go full Android. This method is more risky because you are flashing a completely different OS over whatever WinMo ROM you had installed. So there is no easy way to go back to WinMo. You would have to flash a WinMo ROM and start over to go back to it. This method is a more permanent Android running on a WinMo phone solution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would recommend the 1st method first. Then go from there. But personally I never flashed Android on a WinMo phone.

Just because the lockscreen appears doesn't mean it rebooted. Check your battery stats, Settings &gt; About Phone &gt; Batter and look at the up and awake time. If the phone has been up for a long time its unlikely your phone is rebooting on you. Just check this after a time when you think the phone has rebooted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think you are going to have to use logcat to get logs from an Android phone. If your phone is rebooting on you, you could attempt to run logcat, but you would have to have logcat running continuously to capture what is going on and making it reboot. This is not very practical. But look below for info on logcat.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Instead of using logcat I would try just starting from a fresh install of Android. If you are rooted I would backup, wipe, and install a ROM from scratch. If you are not rooted, I would download the latest version of Android for your phone from HTC and install it. This will wipe your phone, but running from a clean slate should fix the reboot issue. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once on your fresh Android install open Market place and install your apps starting with essentials only. DO NOT INSTALL any task killer of any kind. Reboot and see how the phone runs for a few days. If things seem fine then move on and install your other apps a few at a time. Give it a few days and continue on to the next few apps until you find the app that is giving you problems or maybe all you needed was a fresh start.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Logcat:&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;Install the Android SDK on a computer and then open a terminal shell (cmd.exe in Windows) and run adb logcat.

My recommendation would be to increase the buffer size of the terminal shell so that you can capture more information. More advanced shells might be able to output a text file, I would try that too. If you do not have this option just copy and paste everything in the screen to a text file yourself. In cmd you do this by right clicking, mark, highlight what you want, and then go to the text file and paste.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also this is not always the best route unless you know what you are looking for because logcat will essentially show output of everything your phone is doing.

Short discharges with subsequent recharges do not provide the periodic calibration needed to synchronize the fuel gauge with the battery's state-of-charge. A deliberate full discharge and recharge every 30 charges corrects this problem. Letting the battery run down to the cut-off point in the equipment will do this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for battery life, temperature is apparently a factor -- the hotter the environment, the more capacity loss over time. And storing the battery at 100% charge is actually unhealthy for Lithium Ion batteries!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Great set of Lithium Ion battery use tips here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs from nickel-based batteries.) Short battery life in a laptop is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Batteries with fuel gauge (laptops) should be calibrated by applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges. Running the pack down in the equipment does this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate and in some cases cut off the device prematurely.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keep the lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Consider removing the battery from a laptop when running on fixed power. (Some laptop manufacturers are concerned about dust and moisture accumulating inside the battery casing.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Avoid purchasing spare lithium-ion batteries for later use. Observe manufacturing dates. Do not buy old stock, even if sold at clearance prices.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you have a spare lithium-ion battery, use one to the fullest and keep the other cool by placing it in the refrigerator.

I use &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.webcipe.AdvancedModeScheduler&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Advanced Volume Mode Scheduler&lt;/a&gt; to do this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="79" OwnerDisplayName="MBraedley" LastActivityDate="2010-09-16T07:08:59.217" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

The weaker ones go flat first,&#xA;  and then get charged backwards by the&#xA;  others. This is bad for the weaker&#xA;  cells, and will kill a NiMH battery&#xA;  pack more quickly.

A&#xA;  laptop will switch off when any of the&#xA;  cells in the pack reach 3v to protect&#xA;  the battery.

I first changed it so that each paragraph was formatted with LFs in all the right places; each text editor displayed exactly 1 more character than previous, in terms of the text (it was many more characters in terms of bytes, though, given all of the added LFs.

Fortunately, they've already been answered!

This is because there are many variables at play and device OEMs have no incentive to make the process easy. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A final caution: Your warranties &lt;em&gt;may&lt;/em&gt; be voided, you may screw up your device, and there may also be other adverse effects. &lt;strong&gt;If you do not want to risk it, stop now.&lt;/strong&gt; If you are not confident in what you are doing, please do not deviate from the guides and read carefully.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The easiest way to root your device is via &quot;one click&quot; methods, most of which are developed for more popular devices. Examples include applications (&lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; files) you can run on your device, or software you have to run on a PC while connecting the device with USB. Other methods may involve many steps or manual editing of files.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Methods typically vary between models and even between firmware versions of the same model. &lt;strong&gt;Check your rooting method is compatible with:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Your device model/brand (e.g. Samsung Note)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Your Android version (e.g. 4.4 KitKat vs 5.1 Lollipop)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Your firmware version (e.g. European vs. USA vs. Verizon telecom provider)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Your hardware version (e.g. 32GB model with antenna vs. 16GB without one)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Rooting Guides Index&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These are links to questions on this site that have been asked for specific devices.

By special I mean the OS is aware of them and treats them differently.  In Android, an application actually has to manage notifications themselves, there's no way for the OS to somehow figure it out and expose a setting for it.  Notification sound customization has to be exposed by the individual application developer, not through Android itself.  When an application creates a status bar notification, by default Android will play the sound that you set in the default Notification setting.  But the application can explicitly provide a different sound to play.  The application would have to manage that themselves (it would be nice if Android allowed apps to register for custom notifications and then it could provide a central location for all of them, but I'm not aware of a facility for doing this).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If a particular application doesn't provide support, contact them and ask them to add it.  Take away a star or two from your rating in the marketplace and explain why you did so.  Many developers actually listen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Compare that to the traditional &quot;dumb phone&quot; platform where everything is tightly coupled and controlled.

I was under the impression that once you erased data from flash storage it was gone for good but recalled the story of a woman finding &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tomsguide.com/us/google-android-evo-4g-porn,news-7418.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;porn on her refurbished Evo&lt;/a&gt;.

This can be done one of two ways on the Droid:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Go to the &quot;Settings&quot; menu, choose &quot;Privacy&quot; then choose &quot;Factory Data Reset&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ehow.com/how_5634169_hard-reset-motorola-droid.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Do a hard reset&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ultimately I just did the Factory Reset because I was too lazy to load the system memory up and I suspect that 99.99% the Factory Reset is sufficient, but it's good to know what the risks are.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="137" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-20T10:18:33.027" LastActivityDate="2010-09-20T20:57:43.423" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

This might include modified system colors and icons, startup screens, etc.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Root, of course (see &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/1/1465&quot;&gt;the advantages of rooting&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Less bloatware (e.g., removal of T-Mobile's &amp;quot;My Account&amp;quot;).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Useful utilities for the kind of person who flashes custom ROMs (e.g., ROM Manager).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A mishmash of modems and kernels, selected for best battery life or performance.  Modems are usually stock but kernels may be stock or custom.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Additional options in menus (e.g., CyanogenMod allows a user to reboot to recovery or fastboot mode instead of just rebooting the device normally).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Additional user interface tweaks (e.g., CyanogenMod allows users to place on/off controls in the status bar instead of using widgets).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, custom ROMs don't have to be stock-based to begin with either. This might enable extra system-level features (built-in tethering, for example) or allow you to upgrade to a version of Android that hasn't been or won't be released for your device.  It can also free you from hard-to-remove bits of stock ROMs, such as their custom UIs / launchers that often cannot be removed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Disadvantages&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Custom ROMs, especially those not based on stock, are often a bit experimental.  They may not be as stable as stock, especially with custom kernels or when not stock-based (drivers are hard to get right).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A custom ROM can include virtually any apps the creator wanted to include, and you may consider them bloatware.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Custom themes may not be what you want; many ROM cookers aren't designers.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Something unsavory or malicious could be included in the ROM.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Bricking your device is always a possibility.  Make sure you know what you're doing when you flash a custom ROM, and never use a ROM designed for a different device.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Like rooting, flashing a custom ROM will almost certainly void the warranty of a non-&amp;quot;developer&amp;quot; (e.g., Nexus) device.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="375" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2012-04-23T21:18:46.750" CommentCount="2" CommunityOwnedDate="2010-11-30T16:22:54.370" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

What are you trying to telnet to/from? If you want to telnet to your phone, it's not as easy as running telnet on your computer by entering your phone's IP address. You have to run a telnet server on the phone -- otherwise the connection is refused. The &lt;strong&gt;best&lt;/strong&gt; way to tell if you are actually rooted is by using Terminal Emulator. When you run Term you will see a &quot;$&quot;, this is a user prompt, where you type in commands. The &quot;$&quot; means you are a normal user, not root. &lt;strong&gt;HOWEVER&lt;/strong&gt;, if you type &quot;su&quot; and hit enter and you end up with a &quot;#&quot; prompt, that means you are superuser (root). If you can successfully get a superuser prompt, you are properly rooted. (You might get a superuser permissions request for Term when you first run &quot;su&quot;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once you are on a superuser prompt you can run a telnet/SSH server (telnet is not recommended, as it is insecure).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To see if you have an SSH server installed on your phone (you should already if you run a mod, otherwise you will probably have to install one manually), type the following command (as root) in Term:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;find / -name dropbear&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It should return &quot;/system/xbin/dropbear&quot;, unless your mod has a slightly different filesys structure, in which case it might return a slightly different string, or error out altogether.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you do have dropbear, you can continue reading (otherwise install dropbear first, then continue from here).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, as root in Term (make sure you have the &quot;#&quot; prompt, or type &quot;whoami&quot; to see what your username is), enter the following commands one at a time (stop if any give an error). Be &lt;strong&gt;VERY&lt;/strong&gt; cautious when entering commands as root! Make &lt;strong&gt;SURE&lt;/strong&gt; you type everything &lt;strong&gt;exact&lt;/strong&gt; including proper case.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system&#xA;mkdir /system/etc/dropbear&#xA;cd /system/etc/dropbear&#xA;dropbearkey -t rsa -f /system/etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key&#xA;dropbearkey -t dss -f /system/etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IF THE ABOVE COMMANDS WERE SUCCESSFUL&lt;/strong&gt; enter the following commands to complete the process:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sync&#xA;mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You now have SSH server capability on your Android device. Note that this does &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; mean you are &lt;strong&gt;running&lt;/strong&gt; and SSH server at this point, only that you are capable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To run your SSH server, first enter the following (again, as root) in Term:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;dropbear -p WANIP&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(Replace &quot;WANIP&quot; with the external IP of your phone -- the IP you want to SSH in to)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your SSH server should now be running. You can check this by typing:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;ps|grep dropbear&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It should return a line that ends with the word &quot;dropbear&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOTE&lt;/strong&gt; Depending on your version of Android or mod, some of these steps may vary. If you encounter a problem (dropbear doesn't run, or you can't SSH in), first check if dropbear is still running (above command) and then run &quot;dropbear -E&quot; to see why it won't start if it is not running.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm more than willing to answer any further questions you may have.

However, there is another way to do what I wanted to do, kinda, that might be interesting to someone some day. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Tasker + ConnectBot can be used to execute arbitrary remote (or local, I guess, but Locale Execute is better for that) commands on a schedule. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Step 1: Set up your connection in ConnectBot. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You can have duplicate connections in ConnectBot as long as they have different aliases. You have to rename one first (away from user@host) in order to create the second. Long Press and select &quot;Edit Host&quot; to perform these changes. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You probably want to set up an ssh key without a password so that you can use this for automation. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Once the connection actually works, you can use &quot;Post-login automation&quot; to add the remote commands you would like to run. Make sure there is a blank line at the end so that enter is sent after your last command. Use enter or ; to separate commands. I suggest using something like &quot;echo hello&quot; as a test until you are sure things are working, and &quot;exit&quot; at the end if you don't want to leave the connection open. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Test this in isolation. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Step 2: Create a Tasker Task to call connectbot. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Create a new Task in Tasker. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Add an Action.

Shortcuts&#xA;  are created and shared as LPS files. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;LPS files are self-contained shortcut&#xA;  files that have all the info needed to&#xA;  make a shortcut, including the label,&#xA;  icon, and Android intent (more on&#xA;  intents in a bit). They are written in&#xA;  a new format that I created for this&#xA;  purpose, which is based in XML. Don’t&#xA;  worry, I created a web-based tool for&#xA;  creating these files so it’s as easy&#xA;  as filling out a form and downloading&#xA;  the resulting .lps file.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A shortcut&#xA;  always needs an Android intent to be&#xA;  “executed” when the shortcut is&#xA;  clicked. Intents are the standard way&#xA;  of launching activities/apps and&#xA;  sending information and commands to&#xA;  apps in Android. If you want to create&#xA;  your own LauncherPro Shortcuts, &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;please&#xA;  read this page&lt;/a&gt; for a detailed&#xA;  explanation of how intents work and&#xA;  how to make your own.   &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;LPS files need&#xA;  to be stored in your SD card, either&#xA;  in the root of the card, or inside the&#xA;  folders “download”, “downloads” or&#xA;  “lpshortcuts”. To add an LP Shortcut&#xA;  to a homescreen, long-press on a blank&#xA;  spot, choose “Shortcuts” and then&#xA;  “LauncherPro Shortcuts”. If you have&#xA;  any LPS files in the previously&#xA;  mentioned folders in your SD card,&#xA;  they should show up on the list. You&#xA;  can click on “Create New” to go to the&#xA;  web-based LauncherPro Shortcut Creator&#xA;  tool. You can also access the&#xA;  LauncherPro Shortcut Creator tool from&#xA;  your computer, and then put the&#xA;  generated LPS file in your SD card.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&amp;amp;t=2587&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;He also links to a lengthy forum thread where people are posting some of their shortcuts.&lt;/a&gt;  I can't seem to find any other resources of shortcuts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="10" LastActivityDate="2010-09-28T14:25:07.897" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

Anyway it's there and seems to work, grab it before &quot;Aunty&quot; spots it!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Newer EDIT: The BBC have released an official iPlayer app, called &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=bbc.iplayer.android&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;BBC iPlayer&lt;/a&gt; though this is really just a Flash wrapper around the mobile version of the website and does &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/9078/&quot;&gt;require a wifi connection&lt;/a&gt; before it will play most content.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="156" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:23.713" LastActivityDate="2012-02-27T10:12:50.270" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Take the screen protector off and see if the problem persists.  My screen protector doesn't affect the functioning of my screen at all.  This is going to depend on the particular screen protector (I'm sure there are cheap, bad ones) and the particular phone (they all have different screens and some have calibrations, some dont, some have screen sensitivity adjustment options, some don't).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is there any noticeable benefit of using screen protector? or are they just a waste of time and money?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;Yes there is a benefit, they protect the screen, and no they are not a waste of money. I have scratched/scuffed the hell out of my screen protector and all I had to do was remove it, and put a new one on and my phone was as good as new. Had I not had a screen protector my phone would be unusable now, so for just a few dollars and no performance cost my phones screen is as pristine as the day I got the phone.  &lt;em&gt;That being said, my job and my lifestyle tend to put the phone through a lot of abuse&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;;o)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My recommendation:&lt;/strong&gt; Take the screen protector off and go from there.

I would be surprised if it was the humidity or heat difference between indoor and out, but there are a number of different things that can change from indoor to out and if theres a bug, they may be affecting how your phone operates: GPS, Wifi, reception, Auto-brightness sensor.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This correlation could also be a coincidence.  It could be a particular app that isn't playing nice with Android and your phones firmware.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You will need to to systematically isolate the conditions that affect the problems with your screen and the ones that don't, but ultimately it could just turn out to be a bad unit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="137" LastActivityDate="2010-10-03T16:00:18.863" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I pulled &lt;a href=&quot;https://web.archive.org/web/20120412100048/http://laslow.net/2009/12/27/set-hostname-on-htc-dream-rooted-with-cyanogen/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this short guide from way back machine&lt;/a&gt;, copied here:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;With the first few official Pre-Alpha builds of CyanogenMod 7 being&#xA;  released, it’s worth noting that a new feature has been included that&#xA;  allows you to change the hostname on your device from the Settings&#xA;  menu. If you have a supported device, you can get the nightly builds&#xA;  from the TeamDouche Mirror System. Once you’ve flashed (I take no&#xA;  responsibility if you break something – make sure to read up on&#xA;  issues/pitfalls/requirements before flashing), open the Settings menu,&#xA;  then choose Applications, then Development, and select Device Hostname&#xA;  at the bottom. This setting persists between reboots and ROM upgrades&#xA;  (unless you wipe).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Warning: I accept no responsibility if you brick your phone while&#xA;  doing this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I ditched my iPhone due to problems my local provider was having and&#xA;  got an HTC Dream instead. I promptly rooted it using the Cyanogen Mod,&#xA;  but noticed that by default, Android reports the hostname as&#xA;  ‘localhost’. I don’t really like this, so I set about finding an easy&#xA;  way to change it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;First off, even rooted, the / partition is mounted read-only when you&#xA;  boot normally, so you need to boot to Recovery Mode (Home+Power). In&#xA;  the recovery menu, choose to boot to console. From there, browse to&#xA;  /system/etc/init.d.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;IMPORTANT: Make a backup of ’05userinit’ before continuing! You can do&#xA;  this by simply running the following command – ‘cp 05userinit&#xA;  /05userinit’ (without quotes). This will create a copy of it in the /&#xA;  directory. If you screw up your editing, you can just rm the messed up&#xA;  version and cp the backup back in.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;To add the command to set the host name, we’re simply going to echo in&#xA;  the following two lines:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;echo  &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 05userinit&#xA;&#xA;echo hostname NEWHOSTNAME &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 05userinit&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Note that there are two spaces after the first ‘echo’ command. This&#xA;  creates a blank line at the end of the file. The second echo adds the&#xA;  hostname command. This way, whenever your phone boots, the hostname is&#xA;  set. Also, be sure to use two greater-than signs (&amp;gt;), as that&#xA;  appends – if you only use one, it overwrites the contents of the file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Make sure the edits are correct by typing ‘tail 05userinit’ – as long&#xA;  as it isn’t blank, and there’s more than just the hostname line,&#xA;  you’re golden. Reboot the phone by typing ‘reboot’ at the prompt and&#xA;  hitting ‘Enter’, and you’re done.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Once you’ve booted back up, open up your terminal emulator of choice&#xA;  and type ‘hostname’ (by itself, no parameters) – it should echo out&#xA;  whatever hostname you specified.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Update (April 6th, 2010): To change your hostname on Cyanogen 5.x, add&#xA;  the following line to the bottom of /system/etc/init.d/01sysctl — and&#xA;  make sure you make a backup of 01sysctl before editing it!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;echo NEWHOSTNAME &amp;gt; /proc/sys/kernel/hostname&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="10" LastEditorUserId="10" LastEditDate="2013-12-31T14:42:04.387" LastActivityDate="2013-12-31T14:42:04.387" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It &lt;a href=&quot;http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html&quot;&gt;routinely kills processes&lt;/a&gt; when it runs out of memory, and the apps are expected to save their state using &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.rlove.org/2010/04/why-ipad-and-iphone-dont-support.html&quot;&gt;Bundles&lt;/a&gt;&quot; so that when you restart them, they restart in the same state they were last in.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Once Android determines that it needs to remove a process, it does this brutally, simply force-killing it. The kernel can then immediately reclaim all resources needed by the process, without relying on that application being well written and responsive to a polite request to exit. Allowing the kernel to immediately reclaim application resources makes it a lot easier to avoid serious out of memory situations.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This would be great if it actually worked, and would be better than indiscriminate swap.  But the apps don't really save their state; they just save the minimal amount of information &lt;em&gt;to get back to&lt;/em&gt; that state.  (And some apps don't even bother to do this.)  Getting back to that state takes time.  Since swap actually saves the entire state of the app, which just has to be reloaded, it makes switching between apps much faster.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you switch to another app from the browser, for instance, the browser almost always gets killed, and then it has to reload the entire page &lt;em&gt;from the Internet&lt;/em&gt; when you switch back to it. This takes wayyyy longer than reloading the state from swap, wastes your money if you're on a data plan, and causes state problems when the web page is dynamic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Many apps take much longer to start up than they should, or don't actually return to the same state when they're restarted, so swapping them out works better.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm guessing the people who are happy with the stock system use their phones differently.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.forceclose.com/questions/367/should-i-use-a-swap-partition-with-cyanogenmod&quot;&gt;Should I use a swap partition with Cyanogenmod?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="693" LastActivityDate="2010-10-22T13:52:27.423" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

As a part of this standard, every instant messaging client (chat in gmail and the android talk app) is assigned a Resource.  The server then uses the resource to know which client is communicating.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is how the interaction works:&#xA;Say your gmail account is &lt;strong&gt;bob@gmail.com&lt;/strong&gt;.

At this point, the server either sends the message to whichever client you used last, or sends the message to all currently connected clients (google does the latter).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you reply to Sue using the talk app, she receives the message from &lt;strong&gt;bob@gmail.com/talk&lt;/strong&gt;.

Now what? What do I gain from rooting?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;Nandroid&lt;/strong&gt; backup is a backup of your phone that is an exact image of the state of your phone. So you could make an exact copy of your current phone, then do major changes to it, and then restore to your previous backup by &lt;strong&gt;flashing&lt;/strong&gt; the backup back to the phone. &lt;strong&gt;Flashing&lt;/strong&gt; means to copy or to install.... you are essentially wiping the device and restoring a previous state (a backup) or you are flashing a new ROM (see below).  &lt;strong&gt;NAND&lt;/strong&gt; is your device's flash storage, which is why copying files there is called &quot;flashing&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Android &lt;strong&gt;operating system&lt;/strong&gt; is the software that manages the hardware in an Android phone such as the screen, data communications, storage, camera and GPS. It provides a common layer that allows applications the use of and access to these resources on a range of different devices without the app having to know anything special about the actual hardware that it is running on. The Android Operating System also includes a number of standard apps and services such as the Contacts, Camera, Photo Gallery and web browser apps and allows the user to do such things as control the screen brightness or connect to wifi networks.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Although the real definitions are different, in the Android world, &lt;strong&gt;ROM&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Mod&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Firmware&lt;/strong&gt; are all used as if they mean essentially the same thing. They all refer to a customised version of the Android &lt;strong&gt;operating system&lt;/strong&gt; that has been modified to work on a particular brand of phone with a specific set of customisations or changes. This can be done so that an old phone like the G1 can be given a brand new version of Android, such as 2.2 even if the manufacturer has decided not to provide it. Or could be to provide extra functionality not available in the manufacturer's supplied version of Android, or to fix problems in the manufacturer supplied version.  More info: &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/14628/1465&quot;&gt;What&amp;#39;s the difference between an AOSP ROM and a stock ROM?&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/1369/&quot;&gt;What are the advantages of a custom ROM?&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/27395/&quot;&gt;Why are there so many different Android kernels&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/17152/&quot;&gt;Where can I find stock or custom ROMs for my Android device?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;Driver&lt;/strong&gt; is what tells the Android software operating system how to talk to all the different hardware that is in an Android phone. When someone is putting together a ROM for a particular phone model they will need to include of all that phone's drivers inside the ROM (for things like the cellular modem, WiFi access, the particular camera type, the specific processor, etc) otherwise the ROM either won't work on that phone, or will only be able to work certain parts of the phone and, for instance, may not be able to use the front-facing camera, or may not be able to connect to a WiFi network. This is exactly the same as when you plug something new into Windows and it runs the New Hardware Added wizard and goes looking for a new driver before you can use it.  Drivers are loaded by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_%28operating_system%29&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;kernel&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, the core of the operating system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An &lt;strong&gt;Over The Air (OTA)&lt;/strong&gt; update is when your phone receives an update to its Android operating system &quot;over the air&quot;, ie it is sent the files automatically over the cellular network from either Google or from your phone network without ever needing to be plugged into a PC. This contrasts with the way that, for example, the iPhone was originally updated where it needed to be physically plugged into a computer running iTunes to get its updates.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;bootloader&lt;/strong&gt; controls how the device boots.  Google's PC-side tool for getting into the bootloader and other related tasks is called &lt;strong&gt;Fastboot&lt;/strong&gt;, and running the bootloader interactively may be called &quot;Fastboot mode&quot;.  A &lt;strong&gt;locked bootloader&lt;/strong&gt; will verify the Android system partition and restore it to stock if it doesn't match, whereas an &lt;strong&gt;unlocked bootloader&lt;/strong&gt; doesn't do the same checking, which is why unlocking the bootloader is required to permanently root a device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The term &lt;strong&gt;recovery&lt;/strong&gt; is often used to mean several different things. It could mean a &lt;strong&gt;mode&lt;/strong&gt; of operation for the phone. For example, to boot into &lt;strong&gt;recovery&lt;/strong&gt; mode on Atrix 4G MB860 olympus, one must:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;power-off the phone&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;hold PWR and VOL DOWN buttons simultaneously until phone display shows &quot;Fastboot&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;touch and release VOL DOWN repeatedly (seven times) until &quot;Fastboot&quot; changes to read, &quot;Android Recovery&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;touch and release VOL UP button to choose this option&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Finally, when the phone displays a triangle surrounding an exclamation point adjacent to a green android robot, then either:&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;if using Android 2.2 (Froyo), then touch lower-right corner of phone display&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;if using Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), then hold both VOL UP and VOL DOWN buttons simultaneously&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;to enter Android &lt;strong&gt;Recovery&lt;/strong&gt; mode.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a mode of operation that allows the user to make major changes to the phone. Or &lt;strong&gt;recovery&lt;/strong&gt; could also mean the &lt;strong&gt;recovery&lt;/strong&gt; partition on the phone. Or &lt;strong&gt;recovery&lt;/strong&gt; could also mean the &lt;strong&gt;image file&lt;/strong&gt; (filename.img) that can be flashed to the &lt;strong&gt;recovery&lt;/strong&gt; partition. For example, the Atrix 4G MB860 olympus ships with a &lt;strong&gt;stock recovery&lt;/strong&gt; image flashed to the &lt;strong&gt;recovery&lt;/strong&gt; partition, and booting into &lt;strong&gt;recovery&lt;/strong&gt; mode on such a stock phone allows the user to make &lt;em&gt;some&lt;/em&gt; major changes to the phone:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;reboot system now&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;apply sdcard:update.zip&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;wipe data/factory reset&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;wipe cache partition&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is possible (though this usually requires an &lt;strong&gt;unlocked bootloader&lt;/strong&gt;) to replace the code that executes in Android &lt;strong&gt;Recovery&lt;/strong&gt; mode by replacing the stock &lt;strong&gt;recovery&lt;/strong&gt; image that the manufacturer installed on the &lt;strong&gt;recovery&lt;/strong&gt; partition with a custom &lt;strong&gt;recovery&lt;/strong&gt; image like &lt;strong&gt;ClockworkMod&lt;/strong&gt;. Installing and executing the code in a custom &lt;strong&gt;recovery&lt;/strong&gt; image often allows the user to make many more comprehensive changes to the phone and also often allows the user to make &lt;strong&gt;Nandroid&lt;/strong&gt; backups and restore these backups to the phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The bootloader may also play some part in flashing firmware, though this is usually part of &lt;strong&gt;recovery&lt;/strong&gt;.  While you normally don't want to mess with the bootloader, advanced users will often flash a custom recovery like &lt;strong&gt;ClockworkMod&lt;/strong&gt; (though a locked bootloader may prevent this).  This allows one to flash firmware that hasn't been signed by the manufacturer (such as custom ROMs), since stock recovery usually checks for the signature, and do advanced tasks like complete Nandroid backups.  Recovery is a bit like the BIOS boot screen on PCs in that you get to it by pressing a special combination of buttons as the phone starts up.  Recovery can also do things like run an update file from the phone's SD card, or let you connect from a PC via ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to manage the device from the command line.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;More info: &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/8979/&quot;&gt;What is the relation between ROM Manager, ClockworkMod and Nandroid? Which one(s) do I need?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Many mobile phone networks that sell GSM phones on a contract restrict the phone so that it can only be used on their phone network, this is known as a &lt;strong&gt;SIM lock&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;network lock&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;subsidy lock&lt;/strong&gt;. This allows a provider to ensure that a phone that they've subsidised can only be used on a network that will help them them recoup that money. The phone reads the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Mobile_Subscriber_Identities&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;IMSI&lt;/a&gt; code of the inserted SIM card and checks that it corresponds with the allowed country or network codes that the phone has been programmed with. &lt;strong&gt;SIM unlocking&lt;/strong&gt; removes this restriction from a phone so that any network's SIM card can be inserted and used. This generally involves typing a code into the phone's dialler that removes the lock.

The historical reason is that with older battery tech, the battery had to go through a full charge/discharge cycle in order to keep the battery life high.  Phones would be shipped with batteries that only had enough power in them for initial set-up, forcing the owner to do a full charge when they got home.  The practical reason is that batteries don't maintain their charge indefinitely when they're unplugged, so although your phone may have been shipped with a battery that started off with a full charge, by the time it gets to you, it may already be very low.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="79" LastActivityDate="2010-11-20T13:34:04.307" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

This means when you receive your phone it should be at 40% charge, otherwise they will have aged your battery for you. (you are probably used to the effects of aging, like a 2 year old phone seeming to have very short battery life). When you get your phone you can use it until it is discharged, but they normally say 'charge it' because people will not notice the partial charge.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Do Not Fully Discharge&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You should not fully worry about fully discharging, this is superstition to earlier battery technologies. Fully discharging a lithium battery is one of the best ways to make it fail. below a certain charge they will have their overcharge protection circuitry fail and you cannot charge it at all. I have seen studies that show that this makes up more than 75% of &quot;failed&quot; lithium batteries.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Lithium Battery Aging&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lithium batteries have a set number of charge discharge cycles before they fail. This might be a number like 500 cycles. You actually get more like 1000 cycles if you only discharge to 50% before recharge. Lithiums really do not like a deep discharge, I cannot stress this enough.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you would like more information about lithium battery technology let me know, I can get you many links, just drop me a comment. I have a few answers on the electronics and robotics stack exchange about it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;H3&gt; Can I leave it plugged in all the time?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;Yes, and no. This is very dependent on whom makes your device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, my Lenovo laptop will not apply a charge to the battery unless it is under 97%. When it does charge the battery it charges directly to 100%, then stops until the battery sags below 97%. Many laptops did not do this, on most just applying charge if it is not 100%. This would put the battery through thousands of charge cycles in a week when you are not using the battery. This ages a battery quickly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your phone maker took the time and paid the extra cash then your phone will stop charging once it reaches full charge and just power the system from the wall outlet. It is significantly more likely that your phone is charging your battery on a short cycle and aging it thoroughly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Myths&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some people have some confusion from some of the myths that go about. The primary one is memory. As &lt;a href=&quot;http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/memory_myth_or_fact&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Battery University will say, this is mostly extinct, and actually applies to nickel-cadmium batteries&lt;/a&gt;. As was stated in a comment about crystals Battery university has in reference to nickel-cadmium:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;With memory, the crystals grow and conceal the active material from the electrolyte. In advanced stages, the sharp edges of the crystals penetrate the separator, causing high self-discharge or electrical short.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, talking about Lithium batteries, which your phone uses, there is even more difference. To quote them battery university directly from their simple guidelines:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs from nickel-based batteries.) Short battery life in a laptop is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I understand how this may go against what you have been taught, but I am someone who not only has researched this, but uses lithium batteries in my day to day work as an engineer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="371" LastEditorUserId="371" LastEditDate="2016-09-02T15:50:44.193" LastActivityDate="2016-09-02T15:50:44.193" CommentCount="7" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Finally gave up and switched to Handcent. &lt;em&gt;Shame on HTC&lt;/em&gt; for developing a truly horridly buggy application.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 3&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've been using Handcent for a while. This program masks the problem in that it accepts a message as soon as you press &quot;Send&quot; - however the message still takes a long time before it is ready to be sent over the radio - so it appears that the underlying problem must be with the Operating System (is my guess). The good news is that messages are not turned into drafts but it can still take a long time before a message is actually sent.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 4&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;On Christmas Day 2010 I downloaded a system software update v1.72.405.2 onto my HTC Desire Z in the UK. Sent ~30 messages so far, maximum delay has been 6 seconds. Seems like this system update fixed this major bug!

Check out ChevyNo1s kernels for the Droid).  You need to not worry about any permission problems with this application as pretty much every rooted person uses it.  It is also an application provided by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.koushikdutta.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Koush&lt;/a&gt;, who is a well known hacker in the Android community (he ported CyanogenMod to the Droid).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) You do not have to have a custom rom to do a NANDROID backup.  But you do need a custom recovery.  Download ROM Manager.  Flash &quot;ClockworkMod Recovery&quot;.  Then open up ROM Manager again. Then under &quot;Backup and Restore&quot; do &quot;Backup Current ROM&quot;.  This will run a NANDROID backup of your phone.  &lt;strong&gt;Do this ASAP.&lt;/strong&gt;  It is very important to have a backup of your  phone right after you just rooted it in case you ever need to restore your phone back to this state.  A NANDROID backup is like taking a full image/snapshot of your phone.  With a NANDROID backup in hand, you can then experiment with custom ROMs (or anything, really) with a safety net of being able to go back to the way your phone was.  You can also perform a NANDROID backup by going into your Recovery when you boot your phone (press and hold X on the Droid when powering on until you get the yellow triangle exclamation point, then press the Camera and Volume Up buttons to get the menu to show up).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;3) NANDROID is the best to restore your phone to a previous state.  I highly recommend Titanium Backup if you plan on switching to a custom ROM or ever plan on wiping and reloading your phone (or if you need to re-install an app but need to keep its data).  Titanium Backup will let you backup specific apps (AND their data, only root users can do this!) and restore them.

There are thousands of people who have done this, and I am certainly not going to deny it. This is the best case outcome.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Immediate Destruction:&lt;/strong&gt; It is possible to totally destroy a processor by attempting to overclock it. By destruction, I mean that the processor will not boot at the higher speed, and when returned to its normal speed, will continue to not function. This is basically the worst case outcome. This sort of permanent failure is very rare, but it does happen. It is made more likely by using inadequate cooling, and also by being ridiculously aggressive in how far you try to overclock (i.e., trying to run a Pentium 75 at 166 MHz.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Non-Functionality:&lt;/strong&gt; The processor may not work at the new speed, but may work fine when returned to its original speed. This is a fairly common outcome when overclocking, and in most cases the processor will not be any the worse for wear.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;System Instability:&lt;/strong&gt; The processor may boot at the new speed, but you may see the system behave strangely. Random hard lockups, parity errors, resource conflicts, strange hard disk problems, beeping, application crashes and [your OS] refusing to boot are just the tip of the iceberg. Particularly insidious are the overclocks that work almost perfectly, because that occasional crash may be due to your operating system, but it may be due to that overclocked chip also.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Electromigration:&lt;/strong&gt; When the processor is run at a speed that is higher than it is supposed to be run at, there is a chance that the internal components in the processor may break down over time. The internal features of a CPU are sized in the range of microns. It is possible that when the processor is stressed by running at too high a frequency, along with the extra heat that overclocking incurs, that the actual metal lines inside the processor may form shorts or opens and damage the processor over a period of time. How likely this is to happen, and how long it takes is really not known. The system may work fine for a while and then suddenly stop working.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And don't forget that higher speeds means higher heat -- your tiny pocket-sized squeeze-asmuch-as-possible-into-this-small-area has very little in the way of cooling fins. Speed it up, and you might overheat. Probably won't burn a hole in your pants, though.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, accordin to &quot;Big Lou&quot; @ &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/23838-overclocking-1200-dangerous-my-phone.html&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Modern processors are not harmed by&#xA;  overclocking. You aren't altering the&#xA;  voltage, just the multiplier. If&#xA;  anything, the Droid will not boot or&#xA;  may act funny, but once you revert&#xA;  back to a slower clock speed, it will&#xA;  be fine (and that's for higher speeds,&#xA;  mind you).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Anything up to 1.3 is tested to work&#xA;  fine on the Droid. Heat may rise but&#xA;  the OMAP3 is rated to around 200&#xA;  degrees Fahrenheit.

If so you should have no problem running the Samsung's European JPO release of the Galaxy S Froyo software that went out to unbranded UK Galaxy S's a few weeks ago. As this is an Official Samsung release there's no need to root to apply it, you just need to trick Samsung's software into installing it for you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To start with I'll make the assumption that you have no problems running the Kies software, that it recognizes your phone when you plug it in, and that you get a &quot;You are already running the latest release&quot; message when you click the Firmware Upgrade link. (this is a big set of assumptions given the quality of Kies, if any of these aren't true, then you need to get Kies working properly before going further).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This post on Vodafone UK's Galaxy S forums lays out the steps &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/topic/78743-samsung-galaxy-s-froyo-update-android-22/page__st__100__p__506996&amp;amp;#entry506996&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Samsung Galaxy S - Froyo Update (Android 2.2) (reply 113)&lt;/a&gt;. I'll summarise them below as Vodafone are about to upgrade their forums to new software, so I have no idea if the post will survive, or the link will still work in a week or two's time, credit to &quot;ado28&quot; for these instructions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;First of all you need to go into&#xA;  regedit and do some minor alterations&#xA;  to the registry.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Do not update Kies! If you do then I&#xA;  think this tweak won’t work! The Kies&#xA;  version I used was 1.5.0.10024_74 but&#xA;  I fooled it into thinking it was the&#xA;  latest version &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Step by step guide&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ol&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Back up everything you wish to keep, including Apps, phone numbers,&#xA;  Text messages etc because we're going&#xA;  to wipe your phone clean before we&#xA;  start!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Go to Settings – Privacy – FACTORY DATA RESET and click. Follow the&#xA;  prompts and then let it wipe your&#xA;  phone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now you have a bare naked phone again and can proceed onto the next&#xA;  step.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Open up Kies and leave running&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Connect phone&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Open Regedit by clicking on Start – Run – then type in &lt;code&gt;regedit&lt;/code&gt; and press&#xA;  enter&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Scroll down to Kies and look for “&lt;code&gt;Localver&lt;/code&gt;” &lt;a href=&quot;http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u118/ado28/JPO.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;see pic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Change your Localver code to &lt;code&gt;1.5.3.10103.100&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now go to your Device DB folder and change your settings to these:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&quot;&lt;code&gt;SoftwareRevision&lt;/code&gt;&quot;=&quot;&lt;code&gt;I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3&lt;/code&gt;&quot;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;  &quot;&lt;code&gt;ProductCode&lt;/code&gt;&quot;=&quot;&lt;code&gt;GT-I9000HKDXEU&lt;/code&gt;&quot;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;  &quot;&lt;code&gt;HIDSWVER&lt;/code&gt;&quot;=&quot;&lt;code&gt;I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3&lt;/code&gt;&quot;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;  &quot;&lt;code&gt;DEVCONINFO&lt;/code&gt;&quot;=&quot;&quot; Delete the writing&#xA;  in this box and leave blank.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ol&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Now go back into Kies and click &quot;Update firmware&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;This will now allow everyone who has&#xA;  JPA on their handset with the product&#xA;  code XEE to be replaced with JPO and&#xA;  the product code XEU which is for the&#xA;  UK. Once you have successfully updated&#xA;  then allow the phone to boot up. Once&#xA;  booted up you will now need to go back&#xA;  into your settings and change your&#xA;  product code to XEU. To do this open&#xA;  your keypad and type in &lt;code&gt;*#272*YOUR&#xA;  IMEI#&lt;/code&gt; and now you will be back to&#xA;  having a lovely wee choice of product&#xA;  codes to enter.

The guide I have written&#xA;  worked perfect for me however I can’t&#xA;  be held responsible if your phone&#xA;  bricks itself. To be safe always try&#xA;  the 3 button recovery method first&#xA;  before you update and also doing a&#xA;  factory reset first usually ensures a&#xA;  smooth installation of new firmware.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Extra note on Kies: as stated above, this doesn't work with the latest version of Kies.

Hummingbird is a system made by Qualcomm and used in phones like the Nexus One and HTC Desire, the Snapdragon is made by Samsung and used in devices like the Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab. OMAP is another system chip brand, this one by Texas Instruments and used in phones like the Motorola Droid and the Palm Pre.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All of three of those are &quot;System on a Chip&quot; systems, where the CPU, some memory, and some other processors like the Graphics Procesing Unit, digital signal processors or wireless signal processing unit are all built into the same chip. Building all of this into a single chip instead of having all the individual capabilities spread out across separate chips gives a lot of savings in power usage, size and space used inside a phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The CPU inside all of them uses the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;ARM&lt;/a&gt; processor architecture, which is a standard set of instructions and abilities that the CPU follows. As do the iPhone's processors, the iPhone 4's processor is also made by Samsung and is very similar to the SnapDragon processors used in Galaxy S's. Other processor architectures that you may have heard of are the Intel x86 processor architecture, or the AMD64, one of which is probably powering the machine you're reading this at.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="156" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:20.860" LastActivityDate="2010-11-29T23:04:56.453" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

Because the tag supports this, really all you would need is a Java library that you can bring into your Android app that will read the lyrics.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With that said, the lyrics tag tends to be a little more in the &quot;advanced support&quot; for many applications.

Chances are you can boot into recovery to flash a new ROM.  Worst case, you'll have to flash the phone back to stock with RSD Lite.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, there's really no way to unroot the phone or flash a stock ROM without having to re-install your apps.  You can try flashing a stock ROM without wiping data &amp;amp; cache (or doing a factory reset), but it's probably not going to work very well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The major apps for restoring 3rd party apps &amp;amp; their data, like Titanium Backup, require root.  You can use other avenues to re-install apps (like AppBrain), but you'll have to reconfigure them by hand if you're not rooted.  Since you say you're having problems, this might be the safest course of action for a large # of your apps anyway.  It's just a bear to lose complex configurations or progress in games.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since your're already in trouble, the course of action I'd recommend is using RSD Lite to flash the latest SBF availble -- FRG22D in your case.  It's available for download from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.peteralfonso.com/p/downloads.html&quot;&gt;Peter Alfonso's Site&lt;/a&gt;.  Your phone will update to FRG83 via OTA.  Flashing the SBF will wipe all your phone's data.  You may even need to reactivate your phone with Verizon, but that's not difficult to do (just dial *228 and press 1).  This will not wipe your SD card, so things like backups you have or pictures/videos/downloads on the SD card will be safe.  Despite the dire warnings or bricking one's phone, as long as you don't do something foolish like unplug the phone (or pull battery) in the middle of flashing (or have bad luck with a power outage), you should be OK.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.droidforums.net/forum/rescue-squad-guides/39254-sbf-root-unroot.html&quot;&gt;Using SBF to root and unroot @ DroidForums&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you can still boot into recovery, you can flash the stock ROMs from there and accomplish nearly the same thing -- though I'm not sure it will do things like update baseband. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.droidforums.net/forum/rescue-squad-guides/80664-unroot-back-stock-2-2-without-sbf-rsd-lite-droid-1-only.html&quot;&gt;Unroot w/o SBF @ DroidForums&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The DroidForums guides are very thorough, and their Rescue Squad group is very helpful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1417" LastActivityDate="2010-12-14T03:52:30.673" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I tried to get a Motorola H350 headset to work, but it failed. Then I tried a Sprint Jawbone headset and it synced, but in Skype the microphone in it didn't work and it was using the microphone on the Galaxy Tab instead. I mean, I walked away from my tab and said &quot;testing 1, 2, 3&quot;, and couldn't hear it. Instead, I heard someone near my tab saying, &quot;testing a, b, c&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, I don't know if it's just a Skype issue or the Galaxy Tab hardware that's preventing Skype from picking up my voice over the paired bluetooth headset. Or perhaps it's the headset. Or perhaps I must use only a Samsung-brand headset.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In a nutshell, I want to use Skype calling on my Galaxy tab, and purchase a headset that lets me use the microphone in the headset.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Has anyone gotten this to work? What's the trick?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT&lt;/strong&gt;: I have since purchased &lt;a href=&quot;http://amzn.com/dp/B004FGNUH0/?tag=bettelearn-20&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;these wireless headphones&lt;/a&gt; which also include a built-in mic. These sync'd up for audio output, but in Skype I could not get audio input. So, I then temporarily rooted my device (thank you z4 root tool) and edited /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf to enable some settings that Verizon Wireless and/or Samsung disables in the unit. I then reset the unit and did the headset repairing again. In the end, Skype would not do audio input from the headset. But I noticed this, however. The microphone on the Galaxy Tab is outstanding. It collects the audio input in such a way that drowns out background sound. So, in a sense, you can still use the headset with the tab and walk around in your cubicle, or even talk on a crowded bus, and for the most part it will clearly pick up your voice. It's a nice compromise since headsets with mics don't seem to work with the Galaxy Tab. This might be a symptom of Skype. Their tech support says they don't support audio routing through the headset.

This takes up valuable space; if you're rooted, you can remove the stock application entirely and reclaim this space. I do not recommended this unless you are already using a Modded ROM since you can no longer use &quot;Factory Reset&quot; to return your system applications to the factory version (at least not without reflashing a fresh stock ROM).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Choose fast applications.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Use Opera &lt;a href=&quot;http://market.android.com/details?id=com.opera.browser&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Mobile&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://market.android.com/details?id=com.opera.mini.android&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Mini&lt;/a&gt;.

Opera's touch interface is a bit annoying to use, but it is much snappier than the stock browser.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Choose a fast Home Screen. Some manufacturers equips their phones with pretty, but sluggish home screen. You may want to use a simpler and faster home screen apps. Also, live wallpapers kills snappiness; if you want to use them, use the simpler ones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do NOT use Task Killers, especially the automated ones. You should not Force Kill an applications unless you are sure that the application has gone extremely wrong and the application is ignoring a more polite requests to shut down. Force Killing applications may leave dangling resources in system services that cannot be safely cleaned up. Leave the job of killing applications to Application Life Cycle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;You should not need to clean caches, caches are there to speed up applications. If an application's caching causes it to slow down, report that to the developer as a bug. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cleaning out cache may &lt;em&gt;temporarily&lt;/em&gt; help with #1 (low internal memory), however cleaning cache is only a temporary fix. The application will just generate the cache again, and your memory will fill up again. Some applications allow you to adjust the size of the cache, which is much more useful permanent solution than cleaning out cache. Generally you want to give applications as much cache as possible while still having a decent amount of space in the internal memory.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Applications that have big caches (e.g. maps) should cache to the SD card, file a bug report to the application developer if they don't.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Due to the nature of caching, there are times when cache may become inconsistent and this may confuse the application, possibly causing random crashes, slowness, ANRs, or other random behaviors. This sort of thing is rare, but it does happen. Generally, you should leave the cache alone unless you suspect there are erroneous behaviors that may be caused by bad caches.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Upgrading Android may bring performance updates, however higher Android versions tend to be bigger than the previous ones and may cause #1 (low internal memory). If an upgrade leaves you with much smaller internal memory that you cannot install all of your favorite applications and have some space left, you may want to stay at an older version.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Android 2.2 (Froyo) comes with a JIT compiler (Just In Time Compiler) that will increase CPU-bound programs by up to 5x (in my Spica, JIT raises Linpack's score from ~3 to ~9). Sluggish program is usually I/O bound, but helping with CPU-bound processes helps quite a bit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) have an improved task management, the Application Life cycle will kill applications that causes sluggishness and battery usage. Gingerbread also have concurrent garbage collector, which should reduce random stutters/pauses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some applications can slow down when they have a large amount of data or a large number of items to manage.

Android runs on the Linux kernel (a modified version) and sandboxes every app through a variety of measures, including running each under a different user account. The biggest legitimate threat you have is installing malicious apps. Most likely these will be trojans that ask for reasonable permissions (reading your SD card, communicating with the network) and use them for nefarious purposes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I remember correctly, the malware prevention portion of AVG works by scanning apps before you install them, much like desktop virus scans work. This is a reasonable way of protecting you, malicious apps can be added to a database and you are warned if anything you download (from either the internet or the Market) is known to be Bad. The only catch is that Google usually removes illegal and malicious app from the Play Store within a few days of it becoming available. (I have nothing but anecdotal evidence to back that claim up though)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So if you're installing a lot of apps from sources other than the Play Store, or you don't trust Google to quickly catch malicious apps, installing an anti-virus is probably a good bet. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1778" LastEditorUserId="1778" LastEditDate="2013-02-16T00:25:25.263" LastActivityDate="2013-02-16T00:25:25.263" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In most cases, &lt;strong&gt;using a task killer will hurt the performance of your device&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Android is not like Microsoft Windows.  It is designed to keep the devices memory filled and to manage that memory on demand, killing apps only when more memory is demanded.  If you kill an app, Android will start another one to run in the background and take up that extra memory.  So killing an app which forces Android to start another one and write that to memory is going to use more system resources and drain the battery faster than letting Android go about its business.  It is unnerving to look at what running and see some stupid bloatware app that you never use but don't despair, it is not hurting your performance.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That being said there are exceptions to the rule.  Android in general is designed to manage the memory so you don't have to but, Froyo is much more effective at this that than earlier versions.  I found that even though it wasn't theoretically needed, the task killer was effective in Android 2.1.  Also, poorly coded apps may go rouge and begin to unnecessarily hog resources.  It's appropriate to kill these apps, but you should be uninstalling once you identify a bad app.  As far as a list, I don't know of any.  It would change very frequently as apps are updated and bugs are fixed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are a couple programs that ARE going to be more effective in helping you manage you apps and resources...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.appbrain.com/app/watchdog-task-manager-lite/com.zomut.watchdoglite&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Watchdog Task Manager&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; This app watches your apps and will notify you if one starts to behave badly and hog too many resources.

Yes, and no. This is very&#xA;  dependent on whom makes your device.&#xA;  For example, my Lenovo laptop will not&#xA;  apply a charge to the battery unless&#xA;  it is under 97%. When it does charge&#xA;  the battery it charges directly to&#xA;  100%, then stops until the battery&#xA;  sags below 97%. Many laptops did not&#xA;  do this, on most just applying charge&#xA;  if it is not 100%. This would put the&#xA;  battery through thousands of charge&#xA;  cycles in a week when you are not&#xA;  using the battery. This ages a battery&#xA;  quickly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If your phone maker took the time and&#xA;  paid the extra cash then your phone&#xA;  will stop charging once it reaches&#xA;  full charge and just power the system&#xA;  from the wall outlet. It is&#xA;  significantly more likely that your&#xA;  phone is charging your battery on a&#xA;  short cycle and aging it thoroughly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The answerer mentions that it depends on manufacturer.

You'll know you're at the HBoot screen if you get a mostly white screen with some skateboarding androids on the bottom. It will look something like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.androidpt.info/images/d/d5/Magic0014_4.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;, and will have text that says &quot;HBOOT-&lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;some numbers&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;&quot; near the top. This is your HBoot version, and it's good to remember what it is.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, that rooting method is, as noted, outdated. I believe people currently use &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this method&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this method&lt;/a&gt; on the 3.70 software. You could also try &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893033&amp;amp;page=5&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Unrevoked&lt;/a&gt; if you want, but I don't know how nicely it plays with 3.70 (especially if you have an HBoot version of 2.02 or later). I have not had to root in a while, though, so I'd just look through some threads a bit to see what is working on your software versions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You do need root in order to flash a custom ROM image on your phone. Pretty much every rooting process now will unlock the permissions of your NAND, which is the portion of flash memory where system files live. You need to be able to write to NAND in order to flash a custom ROM, and you need root to perform the unlock.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The easiest way to flash a ROM is through a custom recovery image. You can put a flashable .zip file on your SD card, then boot into recovery and flash the .zip to install the ROM. The ROM itself will pretty much always be rooted, unless it's just an unmodified OTA that's been packed into a .zip format. You can also flash ROMs directly from the ROM Manager program, but it can be a little finicky, so I recommend doing it manually. The two main custom recoveries are Amon RA's recovery and ClockworkMod recovery (brief discussion on the differences &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802790&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; on XDA).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Custom recoveries can do other things, too, such as partition your SD card and perform NAND backups. If you're going to start rooting, I recommend making a NAND (also called &quot;nandroid&quot;) backup &lt;strong&gt;any time&lt;/strong&gt; you are getting ready to make a modification to your system. The backup is a literal 1-to-1 image copy of your NAND when the backup is made, so you can completely restore your phone's current condition (settings, system, apps, everything) by restoring from a backup.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lastly, it is possible to unroot your phone. If something gets really messed up, you can use one of HTC's &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ROM Upgrade Utilitie&lt;/a&gt;s (RUU) to effectively re-flash the phone back to stock HTC software. When mucking around with dual-booting ROMs on my EVO I managed to wreck my boot partition at one point. I couldn't get into my ROM, I couldn't get into recovery, but I could still get to HBoot. From HBoot I could still run an RUU, so I just restored to the 3.30 software, re-rooted, restored my NAND backup and went on my merry way. Although there is always potential to brick your phone completely, I've never actually seen a scenario where a phone couldn't be recovered via HBoot somehow (either RUU or another method). There are &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-roms-hacks/19278-how-unroot-return-stock.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;guides available for this&lt;/a&gt; as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, just as a note, if you only want to root so that you can get rid of Sprint's bloatware, you don't need a custom ROM. Once you unlock your NAND you can just delete apps from the /system/apps directory via an &lt;code&gt;adb&lt;/code&gt; shell or a terminal emulator. I personally think it's worth it to dive into a custom ROM (I'm a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cyanogenmod.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;CyanogenMod&lt;/a&gt; guy myself), but that's up to you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And of course, if Sprint finds out that you rooted your phone your warranty is void. I think it's worth the risk, but it's something to always keep in mind.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastActivityDate="2010-12-31T22:18:47.687" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

Once you've done this, disconnect from the PC, run the My Files app, and go in and re-delete that folder if it has regenerated (if you haven't got My Files you should be able to find it in the Samsung Apps listing, if not you can use something like Astro File Manager).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally make sure you are actually connecting to the PC in Kies mode. depending how your phone's set you may get a list appear on the phone's screen when you plug it into your PC asking what mode to connect in, make sure you select Kies mode. If you're not seeing that menu and its automatically connecting in one mode or another, then you can go into your settings and re-enable that menu.

However, IMO if you're using Android and avoiding Google's services, you're missing a lot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The stock Email application can sync to Gmail or other mail services through IMAP and POP.

From all pictures I've seen it's a regular chinese MTK/NucleuOS phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I want to base my question on the STAR A3000 as hardware example. It's verified that it is really running Android, and dual SIM capabilities seem very plausible:&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=A3000&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=A3000&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;I'm linking to a search listing and not a shop or review directly to avoid the impression of spamvertizing. It's also a more long-lived link that way. But foremost I want to highlight that there are two hardware versions. The original A3000 runs Android 2.1 and offers no dual SIM capabilities. All newer listings advertise both Android 2.2 and dual SIM support.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The trouble with chinese mobiles and resellers is that not all details are super reliable. You'll have to cross check multiple sources, and better assume the lowest common denominator. In the above shop search some Android 2.2 dual sim A3000s are for example still depicted with the original hardware version. I've seen a few images (and there's a youtube video) with the dual sim slots, so I presume this verified. There's also a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.50391&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;rumor (on dealextreme)&lt;/a&gt; that both hardware versions are identical and there's just a black cover above the second sim slot for the first version (looks plausible from pictures). So that's why I assume that Android 2.1 didn't support such features, and the Android 2.2 kernel maybe introduced it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The hardware in this phone most likely supports not only dual SIM, but dual GSM. This means that both SIM cards are connected the whole time, to two different networks. All previous MTK chips and mobiles support that.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;However I've seen one picture of the A3000 Android 2.2.1 version which shows a configuration screen with an option along the lines &quot;[x] Select SIM card at bootup&quot;. This would suggest that it's not a real dual-GSM setup, but just dual-SIM - which only allows switching. Yet &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; the listings from my first link suggest that the phone and Android is &quot;dual sim dual standby&quot;. So I'm confused.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Back to the question: Did Android 2.2 introduce proper support for dual-GSM? I know none of the big brand vendors supports anything like that, so it must be a fringe feature, maybe not even in the OHA documentation. Any chance something like this was mentioned in some sort of release notes? (Really I have no clue, no Android phone yet, still gauging.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My main interest is keeping my main phone number, and using a secondary SIM and contract for data connnections preferrably. Or the other way round.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another note. I know there was also the General Mobile DSTL1 once, which was the first (and for a long time only) Android 1.5/1.6 phone to advertise dual-SIM. I don't know to which extend it supported real dual-GSM functionality. But it's interesting that old Android versions allowed it. So I'll extend my question into why no Android 2.0 and 2.1 phones with dual-sim existed. Did the feature possibly come and go twice in Androids lifetime?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1492" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:20.327" LastActivityDate="2014-12-19T09:28:59.623" Title="A3000 chinese mobile - Dual-SIM or Dual-GSM support since Android 2.2 (again?)"

The GPS driver uses those parameters to make decisions whether to turn off GPS or keeping it turned on will be much more economical.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second reason, poorly written applications are much more difficult to write with how Android's GPS API is. If the GPS driver simply fired callbacks as fast as it can, then poorly written software can just process as much as it can, instead of filtering only those that it needs. Also, this kind of API forces programmer to explicitly think about their frequency and accuracy requirement, and allow the driver to better manage power vs accuracy tradeoff. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In many cases, in areas with high cell tower density, Android might decide to simply use network location and on other places to use GPS when the network location is unreliable.

The dalvik-cache is where is stores the cache of the the dex (The dalvik executables) files. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know system apps are cached when the device is first booted, if the cache does not exist. User apps, if I had to guess, would be done when installed or first launched.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After it is cached, it will not have to update that cache until the application is updated, which is why I think it happens in the install process. But it is also possible to just read the Manifest from from the APK and see what version it is when it is launched. If the version is different then the version in the cache, it could re-cache it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;edit&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;I want to build on this a little.&#xA;I just cleared my dalvik-cache and rebooted my device. Watching the device logcat through DDMS while it booted shows that it does system apps and &quot;users&quot; apps at boot up. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The PackageManager &quot;collects&quot; the certs of the apk. then it unpacks the apk. The PackageParser stores any permissions that the APK has.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So these steps are done when the device boots (if the apks changed since the last boot, or the dalvik-cache was cleared). But this same process would be completed when the APK is installed, since the PackageManager &amp;amp; PackageParser are the ones that handle the process.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;edit2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;This isn't just the &quot;run&quot; process, this is what happens when the app is installed. The dalvik-cache acts as sort of the &quot;registration&quot; of the application. But during install, the app also registers with the system any &quot;receivers&quot; that it has. These are like the listeners for specific actions that happen, what type of links it handles, things like that.

As a Computer Science major, I have elected not to immediately go the nuclear route of making drastic modifications to it, but have instead tinkered with it gradually over time. This is not entirely relevant in a material way, but helps put into context that which follows.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The issue I am attempting to explain frustrated me very quickly, rapidly culminating in a factory reset, which has not solved the problem. It is (Android Version 2.2) (System version.2.3.20.A955.Verizon.en.US). There are very few apps currently installed on the phone. I first installed &quot;Pandora Radio&quot; by Pandora, &quot;Droidlight LED Flashlight&quot; by Motorola Inc, and &quot;Easy Profiles (Pro)&quot; by SmartDyne.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The first marginally complex task I required of my phone was for it to keep track of dates and times for my college classes, as well as making note of when I receive advance notice of a class cancellation. In this regard, it seems to have failed me quite spectacularly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I elected to save my classes in my Google Account's Calendar, which my phone is capable of automatically synchronizing with. I assumed this was a task for which Android would be innately well-suited, but it appeared that the only Home Screen widget available to show Calendar events was a last-mile addition by Motorola, in the form of the &quot;Calendar&quot; app/widget, marginally effectively but very genuinely unimpressive. I access it via ...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;(Home Screen) -&amp;gt; [App Tray] -&amp;gt; &quot;Calendar&quot;&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;... and the correspondingly disappointing widget, accessible via ...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;(Home Screen) -&amp;gt; [Menu] -&amp;gt; &quot;Add (+)&quot; -&amp;gt; &quot;Motorola widgets&quot; -&amp;gt; &quot;Calendar&quot;&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I elected to initially add all of my events in via my desktop running Firefox, for which Google has a satisfactorily robust interface. It allowed me to quickly and easily add in my classes, which repeat at their characteristic times, such as &quot;Every Monday and Wednesday&quot;, which must be specified by hand. I then assumed my Droid 2 would be capable of synchronizing these events, displaying them via the Home Screen widget, and should a professor cancel a class, I presumed I would be able to delete that single occurrence of the repeating event from the calendar. If only that were the case.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am quite plainly unable to trust my Droid 2's Calendar's ability to remain accurate and up-to-date, an embarrassing shortcoming for a smartphone. When slight modifications to my calendar are made, such as the deletion of a single event from a repeating series, undefined behavior results, such as the disappearance of other events from the series. Deleting Monday's iteration of a class from my desktop will not remove it from my phone at all, while removing Monday's iteration of a class from my Droid 2 may result in Wednesday's corresponding class disappearing as well, only to spontaneously reappear the following Monday.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I first sought to troubleshoot that it wasn't simply the &quot;Calendar&quot; app/widget distributed by Motorola, and installed another third party calendar app/widget, electing to try the &quot;Android Agenda Widget&quot; by &quot;Everybody all the time&quot; from the Market. The two existed side-by-side for a while, and it was interesting to note that the inconsistencies continued in both widgets, and the two calendars always displayed identical data.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have discovered a way to very plainly view all of these inconsistencies in real-time as they occur. I can access my Google Account's Calendar data through the mobile browser, by navigating to &quot; &lt;a href=&quot;https://m.google.com/app#~calendar&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://m.google.com/app#~calendar&lt;/a&gt; &quot;. This view, while grossly inefficient for any real work, has always remained free of any of the inconsistencies seen elsewhere on the device, and has always remained accurate to the view from a desktop browser.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I have reason to believe, at this point, that the error results in an inconsistency between the way Google delivers my calendar information to the phone, and the data structure my phone currently uses to store the information, and that this single data-structure is the sole source of calendar data for any Calendar app/widget I might install from Market. I believe that the structure was designed very specifically for the then-current iteration of Google's Calendar data, which has since widened. This is, however, purely speculative based on the behavior of the interfaces, and backed by no hard data.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As I've said, the inconsistencies are wild, and the issue, while prevalent, has proven difficult to reliably reproduce. In addition to the issues listed above, using my phone to adjust a classes' start time by 15 minutes once caused the entire repeating series to disappear forever, while another time, using the &quot;Calendar&quot; app by Motorola to add a fifteen minute warning notification for a specific occurrence resulted in &lt;em&gt;every. single. Calendar. event. period.&lt;/em&gt; to spontaneously disappear from my phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am at my wit's end as how to bring the behavior of my phone back into line, and appeal to you for help. Before bringing my objections to light, I was willing to try a nuclear option, such as flashing a different ROM, but my inexperienced Google searches have yielded no more than one or two walkthroughs for flashing the Droid 2, and none of the available ROMs seemed particularly impressive, rife with their own bugs and misfeatures, and there is no available distribution of Gingerbread for my hardware, which was exceptionally disappointing. The locked bootloader of the Droid 2 seems to be the primary cause of this unavailability. It is genuinely discouraging to see the open nature of Android compromised by such hostile hardware design.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EDIT: @Matt asked me about my Autosync options.

A knowledgeable person could probably write their own tool as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sign the update.zip file, so that the recovery/bootloader thinks its an official update.  That's really the only way most phones can distinguish them (not sure if an encrypted bootloader makes it harder).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Has anyone actually done this?&quot;&lt;/em&gt;  That I don't know -- it's probably incredibly difficult to fake, but realistically someone could gain access to the signing software.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Use a jig (an electronic setup that connects directly to parts of the device) to write directly to the storage.  Imagine the phone as a PC where the BIOS prevents writing to the hard drive -- if you don't boot up the computer, the BIOS can't interfere, so you could just take out the drive and write to it with something else.  Chips are just not as removable as drives, hence the jig.  This would probably require custom software to do the writing, again possibly taken from the manufacturer.

There are apps that will measure specific aspects of performance, but that won't always correlate with what you feel from using the phone day to day.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Generally, one of the reasons for upgrading to Froyo is that it should give you performance benefits, see this previous question on &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/574/performance-of-android-2-2-vs-earlier-versions&quot;&gt;Froyo's performance&lt;/a&gt;. In addition to that, Samsung have rolled in some fixes for previous performance problems (if you're using the official Samsung build): amongst other fixes, they've changed things so that the filesystem lag is less of a problem on Froyo; they've changed GPS and aGPS performance to get rid of a lot of those previous problems,;and they've fixed some of the serious problems in their customized apps like the music player.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One thing you may find after any upgrade is that your phone still has outdated data left in its caches and temporary areas that are only relevant to the previous version. These can cause performance problems straight after the upgrade. To get round this, you can either go through all your apps list after the upgrade and clear the caches, or reset your phone to factory settings after the upgrade and then reload all of your data. Be warned that both of these (especially the second option) can and will lose some of your settings and data, though anything saved on your SD card or saved on servers on the web will be safe, so make sure you back up anything on the phone that matters to you before doing this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Personally, I found my Galaxy S performed much better after the Froyo upgrade.

Additionally, though, GPS can be affected by a number of factors which can reduce accuracy or the ability to receive a signal at all:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;GPS accuracy is affected by a number&#xA;  of factors, including satellite&#xA;  positions, noise in the radio signal,&#xA;  atmospheric conditions, and natural&#xA;  barriers to the signal. Noise can&#xA;  create an error between 1 to 10 meters&#xA;  and results from static or&#xA;  interference from something near the&#xA;  receiver or something on the same&#xA;  frequency. Objects such a mountains or&#xA;  buildings between the satellite and&#xA;  the receiver can also produce error,&#xA;  sometimes up to 30 meters. The most&#xA;  accurate determination of position&#xA;  occurs when the satellite and receiver&#xA;  have a clear view of each other and no&#xA;  other objects interfere.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As well with AGPS is DGPS (Differential GPS).

If you get dropped to a &lt;code&gt;$&lt;/code&gt; when you use &lt;code&gt;adb shell&lt;/code&gt; then you have two permanent options and one temporary one (temporary meaning that it doesn't stick if you reboot):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Flash a ROM that includes the modification&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Create a custom boot.img and flash it to your phone&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Restart &lt;code&gt;adbd&lt;/code&gt; on your device with root permissions&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Number 2 is actually not that difficult, but it can be somewhat dangerous if you're careless. There is a wiki article &lt;a href=&quot;https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443994&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; which explains the process and includes a couple of Perl scripts to help you. These instructions assume a Linux/Unix environment. I have personally used these instructions on Fedora Linux and can tell you that they work, but I do not know about other *nix environments like Macs. I also do not know of any similar Windows instructions, but I could try to track some down if you are on Windows. The exact commands will vary somewhat from phone to phone since different devices use different partition tables.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Generally speaking, though, you need to pull your current boot.img from your phone, unpack it, extract the ramdisk, and find the &lt;strong&gt;default.prop&lt;/strong&gt; file. This is a plaintext file, which you need to open in a text editor and then find the line that contains the value &lt;code&gt;ro.secure&lt;/code&gt;. If the line says &lt;code&gt;ro.secure=1&lt;/code&gt; then you need to change it to &lt;code&gt;ro.secure=0&lt;/code&gt;. After that you can re-pack the ramdisk and boot.img, then flash it to your phone. Once you reboot, you will be greeted with a &lt;code&gt;#&lt;/code&gt; prompt whenever you perform &lt;code&gt;adb shell&lt;/code&gt; without having to run &lt;code&gt;su&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, if you are using a custom ROM but it doesn't have this modification, you can just unzip the ROM and modify the boot.img that is included with it using the above steps. Then you can zip up the ROM with the newly modified boot.img and flash the zip file as you normally would.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This probably goes without saying, but &lt;em&gt;be careful&lt;/em&gt; when doing this. Messing with your boot partition can quite easily wreck your phone and force you to recover via HBoot. I would highly recommend testing Fastboot to makes sure you can use extended Fastboot commands and perform a recovery. This varies a bit based on your model, but most phones have some sort of desktop software that can be run to reflash the phone as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The third option is that in many cases it may be possible to restart &lt;code&gt;adbd&lt;/code&gt; on your device with root privileges. One possibility is to execute &lt;code&gt;adb root&lt;/code&gt; from a PC terminal, although this will not work on all ROM configurations (the ROM must be built as a &amp;quot;userdebug&amp;quot; one). You can also try &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687590&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Chainfire's adbd insecure app&lt;/a&gt;.

Therefore, these clock speeds can vary between different kernels (different values or even more slots).  In the case of the Droid X or Droid 2, you are stuck with the stock kernel due to the locked bootloader.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm more familiar with using SetCPU.  SetCPU lets you manually choose which clock speeds you want your phone to run at.  You choose a min clock speed, a max clock speed, and how you want it to scale (ondemand, performance, etc.).  You can also setup profiles with SetCPU that allows your phone to run at certain clock speeds under certain conditions.  For example, you would want to lower you clock speed when the phone's screen is turned off.  You may also want to lower the clock speed when your battery is below a certain battery % to try and pro long battery life as long as possible.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're wanting to conserve more power, set the clock min and max clock speeds low.  If you're wanting better performance, then set them higher.  On my phone (Droid 1), I use an undervolted kernel and typically run at a 250mhz min, 600 mhz max clock speed to conserve battery.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If my answer doesn't fully answer your questions, leave a comment and I'll try to help you further.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="10" LastActivityDate="2011-02-14T01:20:19.783" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

User Agent String is a short string (text) that the Browser sends to identify itself to the server. Many websites tries to detect the browser that is connecting to the website, and will serve different pages that is optimized for the browser. One of the most common method for such browser detection is by checking the UAString. The UAString setting basically spoofs the UAString and makes the server believes that Android Browser is really another browser.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are three options for UAString:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Android (default)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Desktop&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;iPhone&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Android UAString is the default UAString that is sent by Android, websites may serve a mobile version of their site when detecting this UAString. Desktop can be used to force the server to serve the Desktop version of the site instead of serving up mobile-friendly version.

The notes were saved using the ActiveNotes application, which is not available on Android, only on Symbian. ActiveNotes saves the notes as HTML files, which I can easily view on Android using the HTML viewer or web browser, or any other html reader (such as Dolphin).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have tried to use the built-in copy/paste functionality by touch-and-hold then &quot;select all&quot; and copy. This does not seem to work in HTML viewer, but does work in the browser or Dolphin. However, ActiveNotes stores the newlines in my notes using paragraph tags (HTML &amp;lt;p&amp;gt; tags) and these are not correctly copied by the built-in text copier. Because of this, all the text appears as one long string, without any line breaks, when I paste it into my Android notes application (or indeed any Android notes application such as Messaging). This is very annoying as many of my notes are in excess of 100 lines long.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A number of copy/paste apps seem to be available which use the &quot;Share Page&quot; option on the menu. I use this when accessing my page through a URL through Astro, so the URL looks something like &quot;content://com.metago.astro.filesystem/mnt/sdcard/Activenotes/NoteNameHere.html?text/plain&quot;. The two copy/paste apps I tried were &quot;Any Web Copy&quot; and &quot;Copy To Clipboard&quot;. The latter seems to always copy just the URL (rather than the page content) to the clipboard. The former copies the web page text to the clipboard for &quot;http://&quot; links but refuses to for these &quot;content://&quot; links. Even when the web page text is copied to the clipboard (e.g. from an internet page), it still seems to be devoid of any newlines for much of the page.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since the source of these files is actually viewable (e.g. in the plain text editor) there MUST be a way to copy the content of the pages including newlines. I could do this conversion myself on PC manually for every single file, but this would take a very long time and I would much rather be able to convert files on-demand on my phone using the above method. However, I am at a bit of a loss as to how to preserve the newlines.

The difficulty for these developers is that they don't have access to the source code for some of the device drivers of the EVO, and use only code that is available from the AOSP (as well as home-built modifications and code, of course). These drivers are also closely coupled with HTC's proprietary Sense UI, which was a contributing factor to some of the difficulties.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The big dealbreakers for these have always been WiMax/4G and HDMI output. These have actually seen a lot of development as of late, however. For instance, you can get an &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902051&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;alpha/test version of CM7 which supports WiMax now&lt;/a&gt;. I personally run this on my EVO and it has been very stable, albeit buggy in a few fairly trivial ways. It's definitely fine for daily use at this point, and I have been using it since it came out without any actual issues. It's also slated as a feature for the final release of CM7.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;HDMI is a very different beast, and didn't see as much development from the start because there was seemingly less demand for it. However, a few pictures have been posted by devs recently that seem to indicate that progress might be gaining momentum. One such picture can be found &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/USwFr.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you flash a custom ROM that is based on an HTC ROM, then these concerns essentially go away. The basic rule of thumb is that any Sense UI ROM will support both WiMax and HDMI out, and any AOSP ROM will not (excepting the recent test versions of CM7).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, CyanogenMod doesn't come with Google's applications pre-installed due to licensing issues. They are permitted to distribute a separate package, however, so you just have to flash them separately after you flash the ROM itself.

Reducing the number of applications that run in the background will also help free up resources and allow the home application to stay loaded for much longer. Applications like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and most multiplayer games all keep services running in the background which consume resources.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hopefully some of this can help you!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="386" LastActivityDate="2011-02-16T23:22:29.060" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

When I compose and email, I can choose which account to send it from and it comes via the domain server (i.e. not from gmail). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My impresssion of android is that is can set up seperate email (pop, imap etc) inboxes and operate them directly with each domain server as pop/imap - but I don't want that as emails will not be kept on the gmail server and therefore filed, backed up and searchable from the webmail client. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;How does email account aggregation actually work in Android - is it true Gmail Webmail handling or is it just multi-account handling direct with domainemail servers missing Gmails servers in the process?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3013" LastEditorUserId="2199" LastEditDate="2011-02-19T17:48:18.877" LastActivityDate="2011-02-19T17:48:18.877" Title="How does the gmail Android App compare to the Webmail experience when using multiple gmail accounts?"

You are right that for all these apps to remain in memory, you need more RAM.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have 512 MB RAM, and my processes only start getting killed if I run something that uses a ton like Angry Birds.  On the other hand I have a 1 GHz processor and I never notice slowdowns regardless of what I'm doing (apart from Angry Birds bogging itself down during long plays).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're doing email, Twitter, Facebook, web, etc. then you probably want more RAM.  If you want to play games then you need a decent amount of RAM, but the processor and graphics chip is going to be more important.  In general.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another important consideration is I/O speed.  If you have a Samsung phone that uses RFS, install an EXT4 lagfix &amp;mdash; you'll notice a huge improvement.  If you're recording HD video you may want a faster SD card (we have questions about that), and so on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Storage size is largely unrelated to performance, but you'll want to consider that as well.

While flash-based storage are not as badly affected by fragmentation as disk-based storage, there will still be a major performance hit if the apks or cache file is fragmented into 1000 pieces.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You should not need to clear caches.&lt;/strong&gt; The caches are needed for the best performance of the phone. If you clear caches, and you have performance improvement, that's just because you've made an extra space and that makes it easier for new programs to create and load their caches. While you might be happy with this, it is only a temporary fix until the program rebuilds the cache and it becomes sluggish again. Best way to resolve this situation is to keep an amount of empty space (about 10-30% of the internal memory, the optimal figure depends on the size of your internal memory), do not install too many programs and uninstall programs you do not use; this way you prevent program you do not use to build caches you do not use. Prefer small programs, which generally produces smaller caches.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avoid App2SD&lt;/strong&gt; for applications you frequently use, unless you have Class 6 or higher SD card. Put only big applications that you do not use frequently on SD card (e.g. games); homescreen, keyboard, and widgets should be in the internal memory for best performance (Android prevents you from installing them on SD card, but it is not impossible to force move them to SD).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Avoid program that have background services and avoid home screen widgets.&lt;/strong&gt; While there are valid reasons for programs to spawn background service (e.g. Music Player, IM, etc) and while some home screen widgets are very useful; they can degrade performance if you have too many of them. Background service and Home screen widgets will eat up RAMs that the OS cannot reclaim as easily as sleeping applications. Android usually will reclaim memory from unused applications first, but only in very dire circumstances that it kills background services and home screen. This is not an outright ban on background services and home screen widgets; just to be a bit conservative in the use of widgets since no OS in the world can smoothly run more programs than it was designed to handle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="482" LastActivityDate="2011-02-21T05:56:43.500" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

More RAM means Android is going to spend less of its time killing and reloading apps from the internal memory/sd card, and instead spend more time doing actual work you care about. This means that more RAM usually give you better/faster task-switching. Also, more RAM means your homescreen is less likely to be killed; and you won't experience that 10-second-wait-that-feels-like-forever. Having more RAM also allows you to run complex apps that naturally requires a lot of memory, e.g. photo/video editor, complex games, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A higher CPU is able to calculate things much faster, while this might look tempting at first, it is notable that most programs -- except for games and synthetic benchmark and possibly flash-heavy webpages -- are I/O-bound and not CPU-bound; in other word, most programs are waiting for network transmission, flash storage reads, DMA reads, touch event processing, etc to finish, instead of waiting for some calculations. In CPU-bound application, increasing CPU speed can mean less latency between touching the screen and the screen updating to reflect the touch event. However, up to a certain point, there will be no longer any noticeable benefit of adding even more CPU; beyond a certain point, the input turnaround will be much faster than our own brain's turnaround time (approx. 100-200ms) and we will not be able to perceive the benefit of adding even faster CPU. Also, note that input-to-output turnaround time depends on a large number of other factors, e.g. the latency of the cables, speed of the bus, etc. Second, having some extra CPU time to spare also means that Android can assign those spare CPU cycles to background processes, so background processes can run better.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Summary&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;More RAM:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;better task-switching&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;can run more complicated apps or open larger/more complex files&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;More CPU:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;faster turnaround between input and response (less lag) on CPU-bound apps&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;better background processing&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In short, both are equally important; your own personal usage pattern will determine which is more valuable for you. If you generally stays in a single program and is sensitive to input-to-output latency then having faster CPU will be more valuable for you; if you constantly task switch between many different apps or if you need to run complex memory-hungry apps to open complex large files, then having extra RAM is going to be more valuable to you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="482" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2012-12-17T12:46:34.883" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The android device brings up a menu, select &lt;code&gt;mass storage&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;4) There should appear a USB icon on the notification bar of the android device. Drag it down and select &lt;code&gt;mount...&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If nothing is mounted on the linux box automatically to &lt;code&gt;/media/&lt;/code&gt; you have to mount manually.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can watch the syslog on the linux box with this command, type it into a console of a user that has sudo rights before you connect the USB cable: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some messages should appear after you connect the cable that help you analyze the situation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This link is also a good resource: &lt;a href=&quot;http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/115574-solved-cannot-mount-android-device-via-usb-linux.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/115574-solved-cannot-mount-android-device-via-usb-linux.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="838" LastEditorUserId="838" LastEditDate="2014-05-04T22:10:15.480" LastActivityDate="2014-05-04T22:10:15.480" Title="How to mount disks of a Samsung Galaxy in a Linux System (connected with a USB cable)?"

At that point, the default Messaging app will no longer split up the messages, instead it just sends it as one MMS.

Now there are differences in the devices so that must be taken into account but here is what I have found.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On my Hero, I had a Sense based ROM for a long time and liked it (I kinda prefer Sense).  When I tried AOSP ROMs they tended to be faster and give me better battery-life but from time to time would cause my Hero to reboot.  When I got tired of this I went back to a Sense based ROM it was slow but never reboot on me.  Eventually I got tired of the slowness and went back to CyanogenMod for the Hero.  The other thing I liked about CyanogenMod was the Photos app that would grab photos from Picasa's Web Albums.  I didn't like that the Sense widgets and Sense apps (like the clock widget and app with all the integrated functionality) were gone and the keyboard was the stock one (personally I prefer the HTC keyboard).  Now as eldarerathis already mentioned you can find similar replacements for the widgets and apps but in my attempts nothing I found was perfect - you may find that different.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On my EVO I have only tried a Sense ROM.  I have excellent battery-life, all the sense functionality and with the ROM I'm using (Fresh 3.5) there is an app added that will allow you to add the Google apps (clock, photos, etc.) or the AOSP lock screen.  I have the wireless and USB tether that eldarerathis mentioned as well and as he already mentioned the merits of Google Maps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can't say that I have tried any ROM's for the Desire either Sense or AOSP but here is a link to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/forum/44-htc-desire-gsm-stable-mod/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;CyanogenMod Forum for the Desire&lt;/a&gt; if you wanted to see what other people are experiencing with that ROM. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here are some links that explain some differences between 2.3 and 2.2 breaking them down my feature sets:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-android-2-2-froyo-and-android-2-3-gingerbread/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-android-2-2-froyo-and-android-2-3-gingerbread/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bizzntech.com/2011/02/20/android-gingerbread-2-3-vs-froyo-2-2&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.bizzntech.com/2011/02/20/android-gingerbread-2-3-vs-froyo-2-2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2422" LastActivityDate="2011-02-28T19:52:39.167" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I'd bet a lot of money that no one has made such a custom dialer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, there are many phones where you can enter &quot;pauses&quot; into the dialer, followed by menu choices.  For example, 555-555-5555-PAUSE-PAUSE-PAUSE-2-PAUSE-1 will:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Dial 555-555-5555&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Wait for the call to connect&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Press '2' (for a menu option)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Wait for the next menu&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Press '1' (for a menu option)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This might serve your needs if you know the menu layout, but otherwise I think you're stuck (unless you want to use headphones as Lie Ryan suggests).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1465" LastActivityDate="2011-03-01T14:34:44.353" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

The issue is related to&#xA;  a feature of some phones known as&#xA;  “fastboot” which is designed to bring&#xA;  the system into a usable state faster&#xA;  by delaying the start of some system&#xA;  functions until after the system has&#xA;  been made ready for user interaction. &#xA;  In our case, the ESN variable (a&#xA;  hardware identifier tied to the&#xA;  telephony radio) is not loaded into&#xA;  memory until after Swype has already&#xA;  started loading.  This value is needed&#xA;  to verify Swype’s license, and so&#xA;  Swype’s licensing mechanism fails.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;  The workaround for this issue is to&#xA;  switch the input method off of Swype,&#xA;  type a few characters with another&#xA;  keyboard, then switch back to Swype. &#xA;  This will trigger Swype to reload the&#xA;  license.  To do this, simply&#xA;  long-press on any text input box,&#xA;  choose “Input Method”, and select an&#xA;  alternative keyboard.  Type a few&#xA;  characters then use the same procedure&#xA;  to switch back to Swype.   I hope this&#xA;  helps relieve the frustration of&#xA;  having to reinstall Swype all the&#xA;  time.

It allows for greater access to certain core system functions that a normal end-user wouldn't use or need to use.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Most devices running Android need to be rooted for installing custom versions of the Android system known as ROMs. This is because in the stock configuration (unrooted), user-installed applications do not have write access to core parts of the file system and, thus, are not able to replace or modify the operating system itself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Rooting is also necessary for certain applications and widgets that require additional system and hardware rights such as for rebooting the phone, certain backup utilities, and hacks for hardware LEDs. Rooting is also needed to disable or remove applications such as City ID preinstalled by vendors like Verizon Wireless. Rooting the phone typically also includes installing an application that supervises what applications are granted root rights.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It must be noted that rooting a device usually voids the warranty offered by the manufacturer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;##OK, OK, that's all nice — but how can I root my device?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Starting &lt;a href=&quot;//meta.android.stackexchange.com/questions/790/should-we-revisit-our-how-do-i-root-x-policy&quot;&gt;Jan 2012 we are going to allow one &amp;quot;How to root?&amp;quot; question per device&lt;/a&gt;.

I'm a developer myself so I might get a little technical now and then, but only that will show you the true reasons behind all of this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Baseline: &lt;strong&gt;There is no distinction between &quot;phone apps&quot; and &quot;tablet apps&quot; in the Market&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A bit of &lt;em&gt;history&lt;/em&gt; first: Android was meant for &lt;strong&gt;phones&lt;/strong&gt; (let's say a G1). It was a &lt;strong&gt;scope&lt;/strong&gt; thing. Then it started to support different &lt;strong&gt;screen sizes&lt;/strong&gt; and different &lt;strong&gt;screen densities&lt;/strong&gt; for these phones (like the Nexus One, at the time of &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-1.6.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Android 1.6 Donut&lt;/a&gt;). If you want to know why I'm not using &quot;screen resolution&quot;, then read &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#overview&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;. Finally there was a market for other devices, like TV's and tablets with different needs and extra large screens. &lt;strong&gt;TV's&lt;/strong&gt; aren't different from the phones in that they just show the same screen image, only enlarged since you sit further. &lt;strong&gt;Tablets&lt;/strong&gt; however almost require a different &lt;em&gt;form of interaction&lt;/em&gt; and have &lt;em&gt;extra large screens&lt;/em&gt; combined WITH &lt;em&gt;high screen densities&lt;/em&gt;, as do computer screens. True support for these tablets only came with the last version currently available, &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.0.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Android 3.0 Honeycomb&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The only well-known exception being the Samsung Galaxy Tab which uses a different trick, just like the TV's actually, which I won't go into right now.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Transparency: The idea is that &lt;em&gt;every app&lt;/em&gt; should be able to run &lt;em&gt;on any Android device&lt;/em&gt;, if only the developer stays within reasonable boundaries, as defined by the platform API. This really is obvious for developers, and hence there is no good reason to cross the line here, but some still do, which makes for a small percentage of apps working really badly in general, or working really badly in any configuration but the specific one they were built for. This is &lt;strong&gt;a shame&lt;/strong&gt; because these different configurations are really &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/screens.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;commonplace&lt;/a&gt; nowadays. Then again there are criminals in every society so let's keep these out. Next, there are &lt;strong&gt;several levels of support for tablets, you could say&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apps that were built but &lt;strong&gt;never adapted&lt;/strong&gt; for any of the above story. Let's say these are version 1.5 apps that haven't been touched since. For this Android uses a &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html#compatibility-examples&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;compatibility mode&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. If the screen density is different than what the app was intended for, and the default used to be medium, than the app is being rendered scaled, either smaller or bigger. The whole picture here is being enlarged or shrunk basically. Tablets have the same medium density so they won't show any of this. If the screen size is different, and it is extra large for tablets, than a &lt;strong&gt;black border&lt;/strong&gt;, like what you know from your widescreen TV, is being added. Would the screen be smaller than intended, than the app is filtered out via the market for that device, because there simply is no compatible way of properly displaying this app and have it work well enough. Plenty of caveats, but it works well. Still, you could call these app developers &lt;em&gt;pretty bad&lt;/em&gt;, because the effort to at least get a typical app out of this compatibility mode is fairly small, as long as its developer used native widgets and didn't do too much fancy stuff. You can compare this btw to the way iPhone apps are displayed enlarged (switchable) on an iPad, when they are not adapted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;A step up are apps that have &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/supports-screens-element.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;information incorporated&lt;/a&gt; about &lt;strong&gt;which screen parameters they support&lt;/strong&gt;. As the first of this was introduced in 1.6, this is still very much in the context of phones, but anyway still applies to tablets as well. What these apps will do, or rather, let the platform do for them considering they used the proper advised techniques, is &lt;strong&gt;scale their content&lt;/strong&gt;. Now I'm not talking about scaling up the image in pixels. What it means is that if the app used to display 5 items on a regular screen, they will now display 10 or &lt;strong&gt;more items in the same view&lt;/strong&gt; on a larger screen. As an added effect, all the controls, such as buttons, and the font size, stay more or less the same between all these devices. This is very much &lt;em&gt;intentionally&lt;/em&gt; since we are using finger touch to operate them. If a button would become smaller, your finger might be to big for it; it would be awkward. The perk for tablets is that they display more information. I personally already call this very much &lt;strong&gt;tablet compatible&lt;/strong&gt;, and if so, there are way more than 16 or 100 apps working on tablets, if not the bigger part of all the available apps. Don't let the marketing fool you. Do these apps make use of some of the new ways of interaction that comes with tablets? No they don't. So are they &quot;designed for tablets&quot;? Eh well, ..., it depends on the app. Many show up near-perfect regardless. Some devs include specific artwork for all the configurations (this is advised) so that everything looks nice and sharp. Some devs even test on all configurations :-) (which is also recommended). But the next category of apps really is designed for tablets:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are apps &lt;strong&gt;designed specifically also with tablets in mind&lt;/strong&gt;. They make use of some newer API parts that allow them to better fit in and to allow them to display &lt;strong&gt;multiple sets of information&lt;/strong&gt; next to eachother. Android/Honeycomb doesn't have windows that you can drag around, but instead has parts of a screen that display each their own stuff, called &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/fragments.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;&lt;em&gt;Fragments&lt;/em&gt;&quot;&lt;/a&gt;. Note that this level of abstraction is below what Android used to have, a single &quot;Activity&quot;, whereas on a desktop computer, the &quot;window&quot; concept is sort-of supra-application, an added level on top of what we used to have on old DOS computers. The need to &lt;strong&gt;display even more information&lt;/strong&gt; than what I mentioned in paragraph 2, comes from the fact that there are a lot of one-dimensional lists in Android apps of course. In 2 these would extend by adding new items in the length, but in width they would just &lt;em&gt;fill the screen&lt;/em&gt;. Add to that that tablets are preferably held in landscape mode, and these lists with very wide items would just be unfortunate. Hence the idea to display &lt;em&gt;multiple lists next to eachother&lt;/em&gt;, and make it possible to &lt;em&gt;slide them in and out&lt;/em&gt;, etc. I.e. make use of the free &lt;strong&gt;extra screen space&lt;/strong&gt;. The same rationale is behind &lt;em&gt;controls moving into the screen space&lt;/em&gt;, the &lt;em&gt;menu being integrated into the top bar&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;notifications&lt;/em&gt; getting more screen space &lt;em&gt;in the bottom bar&lt;/em&gt;, all things these apps can support on top of what they supported on phones. &lt;em&gt;There are however forcibly &lt;strong&gt;no&lt;/strong&gt; apps that &lt;strong&gt;ONLY&lt;/strong&gt; work on a tablet.&lt;/em&gt; There is also &lt;em&gt;no per-device filtering in the Market currently, only a filtering based on these rough specs and parameters&lt;/em&gt; we have been discussing. The recommendation is to add this support on top of supporting phones, and it is perfectly possible to do this &lt;strong&gt;in the same app&lt;/strong&gt;. There is however a somewhat &lt;em&gt;exceptional situation&lt;/em&gt; in that Android 3.0 Honeycomb is currently &lt;em&gt;not released for phones&lt;/em&gt;, only for tablets. But it has been confirmed that in the future these two forks will likely &lt;em&gt;merge&lt;/em&gt; again, and the reason for the fork has been an &lt;em&gt;organizational&lt;/em&gt; one rather than a conceptual one, where one group focused on getting tablets, whereas another kept working to improve Android for phones to bridge this long time period. Though I have to admit, personally, I see this step up to full tablet support as &lt;strong&gt;the biggest change in Android yet&lt;/strong&gt;. No way you could say this doesn't take any effort, or doesn't induce some mild &lt;a href=&quot;http://commonsware.com/blog/2011/02/09/honeycomb-or-why-i-havent-been-blogged-much-recently.html?utm_source=feedburner&amp;amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3a+PlanetAndroidCom+%28Planet+Android%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;headaches&lt;/a&gt;, such as maintaining &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/compatibility.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;backwards compatibility&lt;/a&gt;. Can't blame Android, it is exactly what it only could have been, but it is &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.radioactiveyak.com/2011/02/strategies-for-honeycomb-and-backwards.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;non-trivial&lt;/a&gt; nonetheless. So please bear with us, users! Things are always very much in motion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, to get back to the &lt;em&gt;original question&lt;/em&gt;. How to distinguish these in the Market? In short: &lt;strong&gt;you can't&lt;/strong&gt;. The Market has advanced filtering capabilities, but since nearly all apps can run in some compatibility mode or another they will show up on your tablet. The mindset behind the Android Market, from Google's point of view, as well as the OHA, has always been to interfere as little as possible and have it open. Since the intent is to build a community and ecosystem, I guess they meant to rely on news sites a la AndroidGuys to do some filtering for you, by &lt;strong&gt;reviewing&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;testing&lt;/strong&gt; apps and &lt;strong&gt;rating&lt;/strong&gt; them. &lt;strong&gt;That's where you should look for now.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;One more thing&lt;/em&gt;: Now, why does Apple do have this kind of differentiation? There's a simple reason for that! If you objectively look at iOS devices, then you'll notice there are only a few screen resolutions. I believe 2 between the iPhones, and 1 for the iPads. While the Android platform now truly supports the full scale of screens - you could throw any resolution at it and it'd work perfectly - , &lt;em&gt;iOS can't&lt;/em&gt;. That's why the new iPad 2 did not get a slightly bigger resolution. It'd basically trigger a totally new category in the App Store, as well as a rewrite of any app, to make it run in anything but compatibility mode. Guess I don't need to explain how much that sucks from both a user and developer perspective?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To summarize: as usual, the Android story, as is probably the real situation, is a bit more complex, but you get served well in the end. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Full reference: &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Expiration date: 2012-03-07&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3284" LastEditorUserId="3284" LastEditDate="2011-03-07T19:18:26.963" LastActivityDate="2011-03-07T19:18:26.963" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

HSP (phone profile) is a protocol for bidirectional lagless communication (audio) over Bluetooth.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A modern headset typically supports both. A2DP is meant to play (stereo) music. In Android, whatever the system considers as 'media' (you can find this terminology in the volume settings), will be using A2DP. Whatever is voice ('ringtone'), will be played over HSP. I suppose all that likely will be is a phone call. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The reason for this choice is that voice in a phone call is bidirectional and you don't want any delays on the line. Hence the lower (and mono) quality of HSP. In voice, quality is of less importance. However, the voice directions (which is not the same as 'voice') of your GPS are not a call, they are not bidirectional and delay does not matter, and they are played as 'media' in the system. Therefore they will be played using A2DP, or when you disable the 'media' profile in your Bluetooth settings, over the speaker.

Right-click &amp;amp; choose RESIZE/MOVE and then REDUCE the Partition Size (this is what shows in Windows) until the Unallocated Space size is of a suitable size. (The Unallocated space will be allocated as the partition on which your apps will be stored.) Click OK.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An aside - even though Link2SD supports the creation of the second partition (in which your apps will reside) in the FAT / FAT32 format, Windows only recognizes the first PRIMARY partition which is why this newly created partition won't show within Windows inspite of it being FAT / FAT32. We shall be using either ext2 / ext3 or ext4 as the file system in any case.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Onward...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol start=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Right-click this new Unallocated Space and choose CREATE. Click YES on the warning that describes what I've said above.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Now, in the Partition Label, type in a label like &quot;AndroidApps&quot; or whatever suits you.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;This is CRITICAL - the CREATE AS should be PRIMARY&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Choose File System as EXT3 and click OK.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Click APPLY in the main window's TOP LEFT corner (big blue check mark icon).

Android won't run on a device without drivers for that specific device, so this means that you can't simply compile the code for Android and run it on your phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Android is a very different operating system than other phone platforms; Android and Windows Phone 7, for example, are just as different as Ubuntu and Windows 7 for the PC.  This means that even if you have WP7 drivers for your device, those drivers won't work on Android.  You'll have to modify those drivers to be compatible with Android, and you may need to reverse-engineer a lot of code.  This is very difficult and time-consuming, and sometimes even a team of people have little success with it.  Even getting a new version of Android to run on an Android phone can be hard.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The upside is that many phone manufacturers are now putting out versions of the same device with different operating systems.  One example is the HTC HD2, which runs Windows Mobile 6 but is very similar to the Android HTC Desire Z.  The Desire Z ROM only requires slight modification to run on the HD2.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Android ROMs/projects for non-Android Phones&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Various developers have gone through the effort of creating an Android ROM that can be installed on other devices, or have started to do so.

You cannot use Android at all yet.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Alpha:&lt;/em&gt; Android is technically usable, but many major features are missing.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beta:&lt;/em&gt; Most major Android features are usable, but it's fairly buggy.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Complete:&lt;/em&gt; This is almost as good as &quot;real&quot; Android!&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unknown:&lt;/em&gt; It's, well ... unknown.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Apple iOS Devices&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There used to be a project iDroid for porting Android 2.3 to a jailbroken iPhone (2G or 3G), but the project died in 2014 without ever becoming stable.

However, if you don't want to wait for the OS to kill something, you should use a task manager (different from an always-running task killer).

I believe it is short for Dalvik Executable, but I'm not sure if I'm remembering that correctly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An &lt;code&gt;.odex&lt;/code&gt; file is an Optimized &lt;code&gt;.dex&lt;/code&gt; file (hence the 'o'), meaning that it has basically been pre-compiled for a specific platform. The advantage to this is that startup time is much faster since the VM doesn't have to perform any optimizing at startup/runtime. The disadvantages are 1) That it takes up some extra space and 2) An odexed app won't run properly if it's put onto another device, and it must have the associated &lt;code&gt;.odex&lt;/code&gt; file to run at all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ROMs are typically released in deodexed form because they can be themed and modified fairly easily, whereas theming/modifying an odexed ROM is basically impossible (at best things would crash like crazy). Some people also choose to release their ROMs in odexed versions for people who would prefer the performance gains.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Most of the stock ROMs I've seen are odexed, I assume because the carriers/manufacturers want the performance boost. They also don't have any kind of official theming methods, so they probably don't care if you can't change the colors of your status icons or your system text or whatnot. Plus they have the advantage of knowing what device they want their system to run on, so they can pre-compile the &lt;code&gt;.odex&lt;/code&gt; files very easily, I imagine. As an added bonus, it makes it difficult to pull &lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; files off of the device and share them with people.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit:&lt;/strong&gt; Since I just realized that I was not very explicit about the difference here - an &quot;odexed&quot; ROM is one where the apps have been precompiled, and thus contain associated &lt;code&gt;.odex&lt;/code&gt; files which are external to the &lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; files. A &quot;deodexed&quot; ROM is one where data that would be optimized in the &lt;code&gt;.odex&lt;/code&gt; files has been more or less merged back into the &lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; files (meaning it is not optimized but basically platform agnostic), thus the &lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; files are self-contained and there are no &lt;code&gt;.odex&lt;/code&gt; files. This is usually just done with a deodexing utility, such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/p/smali/wiki/DeodexInstructions&quot;&gt;smali/baksmali&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastEditorUserId="981" LastEditDate="2011-04-13T02:23:17.907" LastActivityDate="2011-04-13T02:23:17.907" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Fortunately, good code is included in all of the recent 2.2 updates.  If you can, upgrade your software to 2.2.  It has many advantages besides just the GPS!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can also try flashing 2.3 GPS code (see &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974702&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;this XDA thread&lt;/a&gt;).  Apparently it's the best yet, and should work with any ROM.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Summary: Gingerbread great, Froyo good, Eclair bad.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sub&gt;Note: A minority of users have &lt;em&gt;worse&lt;/em&gt; GPS performance after upgrading to Froyo.  If you have the very latest Froyo update and this is true for you, I believe you can fix it by continuing with the other steps below (or the 2.3 GPS code above).  You probably have bad GPS data and settings left over from Eclair, or perhaps it's just that your phone has been &quot;cold started&quot; and the GPS needs to collect some information about the nearby satellites first.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Fixing the Hardware&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;This might void your warranty, though if done properly it should be undetectable.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A major problem for many users is, yes, a hardware problem -- but not a GPS chip issue as some have claimed.  I was reluctant to accept this myself, but after trying everything else I finally resorted to this fix, and it worked!  The hardware has apparently been fixed in newer device versions, so if you bought your phone after October 2010 I recommend trying the other steps before doing this.  But the good news is that it's easy to do.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878970&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;There's a detailed guide on XDA&lt;/a&gt;; here is the quick version:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Take off the back cover; remove the battery, SIM, and SD card.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Remove the 7 small screws in the back of the device, and carefully pry off the backing plastic.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You'll see 4 gold-ish contacts sticking out, approximately at each corner of the device.  You'll notice that the backing plastic has 4 flat contacts on it, which are supposed to touch the ones on the device.  (See the guide for details).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Slightly bend the contacts on the device upwards (a millimeter or so should be good, don't overdo it) so that they will contact the backing plate, like they were intended to.  You might want to insert something like a small folded piece of paper under the contact, so that it doesn't bend back down.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Put everything back together, and continue with the next section.&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Fixing the Hardware (2nd option)&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;This really voids your warranty, but seems like the best possible technical fix so far.&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Problem is caused by bad gnd conductivity between mainboard and antenna. It is conduced by conductivity rubber. This kind of rubber was used for old nokia 8210 for connect display to mainboard. It was the mayor fault for nokia 8210.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are 2 different methods which both require soldering skill but are said to significantly improve the GPS signal.

I suggest running it with GPS off first, letting step 2 fail, then going outside, turning GPS on and running it again.  It may take 5+ minutes while your phone searches for satellites and figures out where it is.  This &quot;cold start&quot; should prep your phone with good data, and future locks should be much quicker.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Once the test is done, you should be good to go!&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I recommend only trying the following if your GPS is still slow or doesn't work after trying everything else; in most situations the default server is fine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Go into &lt;strong&gt;SUPL/CP Settings&lt;/strong&gt; (in LBSTestMode as above) and change &lt;strong&gt;Server&lt;/strong&gt; to &lt;strong&gt;supl.google.com&lt;/strong&gt; (port 7276).  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Install &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;GPSTest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, go outside, turn on your GPS, and open the app.  Wait for a lock; again, this might take some time.&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Using &quot;Fake&quot; GPS&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Even the best GPS doesn't lock on instantly.  You can use &quot;assisted GPS&quot;, or aGPS, to help get a rough fix quickly while you wait for the more accurate GPS to get a lock; this only works when you have internet access, since it uses your IP address to locate you.  Go into your device's GPS settings (&lt;code&gt;Settings -&amp;gt; Location and security&lt;/code&gt;) and make sure &lt;strong&gt;Use wireless networks&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Use sensor aiding&lt;/strong&gt; are both checked.  &lt;strong&gt;Use GPS satellites&lt;/strong&gt; should, of course, be checked also.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sub&gt;Note: This might make things worse in situations where the phone relies on the inaccurate aGPS more than the &quot;real&quot; GPS.  Experiment with and without it.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And that's it!&lt;/strong&gt;  I hope this guide works for you and you enjoy your newly functional GPS.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1465" LastEditorUserId="1465" LastEditDate="2015-05-19T21:25:30.937" LastActivityDate="2015-05-19T21:25:30.937" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Basically there's a sensor in your phone that is used by your phone to tell how full/empty the battery is.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This sensor doesn't actually know how full your battery is, all it knows is how much power is coming from your battery at the time. The problem it has is that all batteries are slightly different, and their capacity goes down over time and usage (a three year old battery will not be able to hold as much charge as a brand new battery).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your phone keeps a record of the maximum power it's ever had from the battery, as well as knowing the minimum power that it can safely work with before it has to turn itself off. It uses the difference between those two numbers, and the current power at any time to calculate how much percentage of your battery you have left at that time. So with a new battery, the phone might be telling you that the battery is fully charged because it's charged to the highest level the phone's ever seen, but if you leave it charging a bit longer then it might charge more, and then the phone can recalibrate itself and use this new value as the most it's ever seen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You should only need to do this &quot;over-charging&quot; with a brand new phone/battery, after that the phone know the maximum values, and can more accurately tell you when it's full.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="156" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:22.573" LastActivityDate="2011-03-15T23:23:45.413" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

No hoops to jump through.  $25 and you can publish as many applications as you want, instantly.

When these problems arise, Google usually pulls them from the Market (and from user's phones).  It doesn't happen very often.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Android was designed to to keep yourself protected: all applications have to ask for &quot;permissions&quot; to do certain things: make calls, read contact data, access the internet, etc.  &lt;strong&gt;Read the permissions before you install an application.&lt;/strong&gt;  Make sure you know and understand what it is going to be doing.  Does it seem to have a dubious &quot;permission&quot; that it asks for access to?  However, at the same time: don't berate the developer because of certain permissions.  Some ads ran in apps require at least the internet permission and sometimes some other ones (about the phone state, I believe). Be sure to have a thorough understanding of why a developer would need certain permissions.  Most importantly, read what other people are saying about the application in the market.  Read some of the comments (although beware that the comments on the Android market are the same level as Youtube in terms of quality) and see what the app's rating is.  Have you heard of the app before?  Has a blog mentioned or reviewed it? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Worse case scenario&lt;/strong&gt;: if you aren't rooted, then no single application should be able to damage your phone as every application is sandboxed from each other (technically, each developer's set of applications are sandboxed from each other. Apps signed by the same developer key can have access to other apps signed by the same developer). They could potentially steal your data, depending on the amount of permissions the application is given. The rarest scenario I can think of is if an application uses an exploit to enable root access on your phone and then does something malicious (e.g., delete everything).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="10" LastActivityDate="2011-03-17T18:29:46.107" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

Obviously it can't be done with AppLock since all the settings are accessed through the same app, but further than that you would have to somehow determine what the Settings app was doing and prevent it.  This would be &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt; difficult, and impossible without root.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think the Settings app must be open-source, however, given that manufacturers can customize it.  You could possibly modify it to lock out the application settings unless you enter a password, or something.  That's beyond the scope of this site, however.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another alternative is widgets that alter the settings directly.  I'm sure you can get a widget that would allow you to edit the brightness and that sort of thing without going through the Settings app.  I'm not exactly sure how widgets like this work, however; it's possible they might call into the Settings app, which would prevent this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In that last case, it might also be possible to set up something like AppLocker that allows Settings to run if it is triggered by a &quot;privileged&quot; application.  You could make the brightness widget privileged, so that the Settings app can make the brightness change when requested to, but everything else would still be protected.  I assume AppLocker can't do this, but it might not be hard to develop (again, out of the scope of this site).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know this is kind of vague, but hopefully it provides some sort of help.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1465" LastActivityDate="2011-03-18T17:53:58.727" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

However, as already mentioned, you can still replace the home launcher with another such as LauncherPro, ADW or numerous others.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="10" LastActivityDate="2011-03-21T14:12:16.523" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

However, it is very simple to revert to the stock ROM with a Galaxy S for warranty purposes.  Rooting will also void your warranty, but the method below does not require root.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The easiest way to a get a new OS for a Galaxy S is to use Odin for Windows (download &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9088113&amp;amp;postcount=1&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.  Search for &quot;Heimdall&quot; if you want to do this on Linux).  You just need an Odin-flashable ROM.  For the Galaxy S Vibrant, I highly recommend the ROM I currently use, &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925548&quot;&gt;Bionix v1.3.1&lt;/a&gt;, which has a TouchWiz-free version.  I assume you have a GT-I9000 however; you should look for one that suits your purposes in &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=665&quot;&gt;XDA's i9000 Android Development forum&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit:&lt;/strong&gt; According to &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12269276&amp;amp;postcount=2&quot;&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt;, the only completely TouchWiz-free ROM is CyanogenMod, which is unstable/buggy.  So if you don't want CM and just want to replace the launcher, you can do that without flashing another ROM as Amanda says in her answer.  Otherwise you can continue with the instructions below for using Odin.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once you have the ROM, do the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series#Download_Mode&quot;&gt;Put your phone into Download mode&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Remove the battery&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If non-i9000, attach the phone to your PC via USB.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Hold VolumeDown plus either the Home key (i9000) or VolumeUp (non-i9000) and the power button&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Reinsert the battery.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Let go of the power button only about 1 second after the white device logo appears (if it does)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;After a few seconds a yellow triangle with an android in it should appear, you can let go of the keys since this is download mode.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Start up Odin.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If non-i9000, detatch your phone from USB.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Attach the phone to USB so that Odin recognizes it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Load the .zip file you downloaded (the custom ROM) into the PDA field of Odin.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Load the 512 .pit file into the PIT field of Odin.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Check &quot;Re-partition&quot;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Hit Start.  Odin will tell you when it's done; if it fails, reboot your phone and try again.  (This happens occasionally).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that if you need to back anything up, you should do that beforehand and save the backup to your PC, since everything (except probably the external SD card) will be wiped on the phone.  Also note that you do this at your own risk; Odin is very powerful and misusing it can damage your phone.

This allows the app to&#xA;  request the permission, but not get it at install.  You can however&#xA;  &lt;strong&gt;grant it with an adb shell command&lt;/strong&gt; once it is installed.  At some&#xA;  point later I expect to have a UI in the system for doing this, but we&#xA;  are going to hold off on that to be careful about how we present this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Excerpt from a &lt;a href=&quot;https://groups.google.com/d/msg/android-developers/6U4A5irWang/dEsqi0dyPkkJ&quot;&gt;post on Google Groups&lt;/a&gt; by Dianne Hackborn, Android Framework Engineer.

Since the source code of Android 3.x was not made public until after Android 4.0 source was released, there was no CyanogenMod 8 release or development, because all development efforts went towards CyanogenMod 9.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that not all devices will necessarily receive official support from CyanogenMod. CyanogenMod is maintained by volunteers in their free time, so support depends on having enough interested developers. Also, support depends on compatible drivers being available for the device, so some phones will never be supported.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Similarly, devices may be dropped from further development for various reasons as new versions of Android are released (for example, the latest &quot;stable&quot; build for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Passion_Info&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Nexus One&lt;/a&gt; is CyanogenMod 7.2).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are several types of CyanogenMod build. &lt;em&gt;Nightly&lt;/em&gt; builds are created each day, and represent a snapshot of development, with minimal testing and quality control. They often have missing features or critical defects, changing from one day to the next, and are &lt;strong&gt;not recommended&lt;/strong&gt; for everyday use. If you ask a question here about unusual behaviour in a nightly CM build, we'll probably suggest you switch to a more stable ROM. &lt;em&gt;Experimental&lt;/em&gt; builds are the same as nightlies, but are one-off special builds outside of the nightly routine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Milestone snapshot&lt;/em&gt; (a.k.a. &lt;em&gt;M snapshot&lt;/em&gt;) builds are more stable than a nightly, because they're only built when the code is believed to be working, but they're still minimally tested, and may still have big problems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Release candidates&lt;/em&gt; are undergoing the last testing before being designated as a stable release. They should be safe for everyday use, and it's very unusual to find serious problems, but they may still have odd bugs that just haven't been noticed yet.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Stable&lt;/em&gt; releases have &quot;all or nearly all&quot; issues resolved, and should be as stable as (or more stable than) an official, stock ROM.

I suppose this may apply to other unlocked phones since the comment on the bug tracker implies that it's actually got something to do with the way Android or its APIs are doing things under the hood.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd just recommend trying a different client, I guess.

You pick folders from your SD card to sync back to your Dropbox. Any time you add something to those folders—say, if you take a picture on your phone, or download an app you want to try out on your computer later on—it will automatically sync those changes back, so your files will be waiting for you when you get back to your computer. You can also sync folders from your Dropbox to your SD card, but it's only a one-time sync—Titanium won't monitor your remote folders, only the ones on your SD card.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The interface is pretty easy to use, too. The left column shows all the folders on your SD card, while the column on the right shows your Dropbox, and you can just drag and drop folders from one to the other to sync them. Dragging from the the right column will download that folder to your SD card, while dragging from left to right will give you the option of setting up that folder for automatic sync. Because it only syncs one way, it won't constantly call the internet slow down your phone when it's waiting for changes. You can even set whether you want it to sync over Wi-Fi only, or over 3G and 4G in the preferences. By default, it will also sync only when your phone's plugged in to save battery (but you can change this in the preferences too). Seriously, if you're a Dropbox user, this app is absolutely worth having—even moreso than the official Dropbox app itself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Titanium Media Sync is a $2.99 download for Android devices.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="267" LastActivityDate="2011-03-25T13:25:15.150" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

In comparision, these are some advantages it has over the Playstore:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Apps are &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot; title=&quot;Wikipedia: Open Source&quot;&gt;OpenSource&lt;/a&gt;, which means they are all free (to support the devs, there are donation buttons on each apps page)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;F-Droid compiles the packages from the sources. This adds a level of security, as it makes sure nothing was &quot;sneaked into&quot;. The draw-back is, you cannot simply cross-update apps between the F-Droid main repo and other sources.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Compiling the sources themselves, they also often throw out &quot;binary blobs&quot; and other unfree material (i.e. included modules from proprietary sources). In many cases, this means the advertisement stuff being removed. This again increases security (and privacy). But in some cases it has the draw-back of some functionality being broken, if the removed part was e.g. stuff enabling specific Google services, such as maps.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Next to its main repository, &lt;a href=&quot;http://f-droid.org/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;F-Droid&lt;/a&gt; offers several others&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;. Developers can provide their own &quot;channel&quot;, e.g. for Beta versions. A nice way also for companies or organizations to keep together groups of apps their members are supposed to use.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://f-droid.org/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;F-Droid&lt;/a&gt; is very clear when it comes to &quot;anti-features&quot; such as ads. If an app in any way deviates from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot; title=&quot;Wikipedia: Open Source&quot;&gt;OpenSource&lt;/a&gt; idea, that's pointed out straight in colored boxes you can't miss when browsing the apps pages. Quoting bgvaughan from the comments:  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;f-droid's Preferences allow you to screen apps by various traits: whether they contain advertising, track your activity, or promote non-free add-ons, among others. While I miss the lack of user ratings on f-droid, and f-droid app versions sometimes trail behind those on Google Play, the fact that I can be sure that anything on f-droid is free, open-source, and not a freaking PITA, is more than enough to recommend its use.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can also only approve what Nicolas says about &lt;a href=&quot;http://f-droid.org/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;F-Droid&lt;/a&gt; in his comment:  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;F-Droid apps are guaranteed open source, ad-free, tracking-free. That means smaller apps that don't waste your bandwidth for anti-features.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;F-Droid&lt;/em&gt; also offers its own Android client, the &lt;em&gt;F-Droid&lt;/em&gt; Application Manager:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/fz242.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/fz242m.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;F-Droid App&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;em&gt;F-Droid App&lt;/em&gt; (source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.androidnext.de/apps/f-droid-repository-fuer-open-source-apps/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;AndroidNext&lt;/a&gt;; click for larger variant)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;More details on &lt;em&gt;F-Droid&lt;/em&gt; can also be found &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-Droid&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;at Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;.

The biggest concern the screen resolution and LCD density.  Several apps, including the Market itself (Vending.apk) are quite picky about how well (or even if) they will work properly.  Most common side-effect is apps displaying in a tiny window instead of properly scaling.  Most can be fixed by disabling Compatibility Mode in Spare Parts, but some (e.g. Google Reader) will only function with a certain LCD density that could be in conflict with other apps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Keep in mind that most of the custom ROMs for Nook Color are works in progress, so expect to see better compatibility with all apps going forward.  Also, if rumors of Froyo (2.2) update for the official Nook Color firmware are true, we could see better performance once the official display/video/audio/etc. driver upgrades are rolled into custom ROMs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3646" LastActivityDate="2011-03-28T21:12:46.063" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

Basically, you put an image onto the SD card, then turn on the Nook and it boots that image and enables root access.  You then remove the SD card and re-format it (because the image previously will give it a small partition, additionally you don't want it to boot it again after you've already done it once). The Nook Color is setup that it will boot up off of the SD card before it will boot off of the internal memory (hence why this rooting process works). You can therefore have a dual boot with the stock rom plus another rom on the SD card (Nookie Froyo, CyanogenMod7, or the Honeycomb rom).  This way you experiment with ROMs and not mess up your stock image. However, it is loading these from the SD card, therefore it will be a bit slower than if it was running off the internal memory of the device.

You practically have to hold the card to the back of the phone in order for it to be able to read the card. 10 centimeters is massively over-exaggerated, 4 centimeters is the farthest I could go with any card. Distance is greatly dependant on the quality of the RF transmitter, and receiver on the other end, so this distance may very well increase under different conditions. If you have specialized equipment, it's possible to pick up any NFC RF communication up to a distance of about 10 meters, but don't expect NFC implementations in phones to go any farther then 10 centimeters.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For your second question. Again, as advertised in the above PDF, card emulation (the ability to present oneself as a NFC tag) is supported for the following standards: ISO 14443 –A-B-B’, MIFARE, FeliCa RF.&#xA;To my knowledge, these are all the standards one should (currently) care about. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, card emulation is &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; supported by the Android SDK, and I'm not sure whether or not it will be supported in future versions, or even if Android Devs are working on such functionality.

Since I've read these reviews I mention in the beginning I'm not too sure whether they design flaws or just I got (un)lucky with this one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My GPS is definitely crap. I have that &quot;GPS test app&quot; and even when it has like 7 satellites in sight it still wont manage to get a lock as quick (if any) as other phones I've been comparing it. E.g. And old HTC Magic sitting next to my NS got a lock in like, 5 seconds while mine took almost 20 - then lost it. Also, after acquiring the lock, it has an average of 20-30 meters error while the HTCs and Nokias are like pin-point 5m&amp;lt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for the WiFi, I'm not sure if is just a display issue or if the reception is really bad, but being in the same room as the router, about 4 meters away, the phone shows two strength bars only. I figure that the reception could be just fine and the display could be just bad parametrized so I've got the &quot;WiFi Analyser&quot; app it says my signal is at -78dBm (which with a little googling apparently means pretty weak).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What do you guys say?

Even though this worked for me, I still suggest you make a backup of your files before trying this (I did when I tested), since from what I read this in an unreliable method for users to apply. Again from what I read it works fine if the media files are placed in the folder &lt;strong&gt;after&lt;/strong&gt; the &lt;code&gt;.nomedia&lt;/code&gt; file is placed in it, but if the files are there before the &lt;code&gt;.nomedia&lt;/code&gt; file then it &lt;em&gt;may&lt;/em&gt; delete the files. If Seth's answer does not work for you, you may want to try creating an empty folder (with the same name as the one you want to put the &lt;code&gt;.nomedia&lt;/code&gt; file in), place the &lt;code&gt;.nomedia&lt;/code&gt; file in the folder and then add the photos (or whatever media you want), and see if that fixes the issue. I was going to try this if the first method failed, but it hasn't deleted my media yet, so we'll see what happens.

For instance, in the US, AT&amp;amp;T carries the X10a and T-Mobile carries the X10i. Because they are targeted at different regions/carriers, they support slightly different frequency bands. The rest of the hardware is the same.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastActivityDate="2011-04-10T03:40:06.033" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It would take several minutes sometimes to first fix even when outdoors, but it would stay fixed as long as nothing obstructed it, such as my car ceiling.  If it had a fix recently, it would be quicker at getting a fix as well.  I used GPS Status to keep the GPS Almanac up to date which helped a bit, and applied several fixes people had suggested with minor improvements.

I am new to Android and recently bought Huawei Ideos X5 (Android 2.2.1). I haven't found anyone else having this problem. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Problem:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My Android phone will be able to connect to my wireless network, get an IP address from my DHCP server, but when trying to reach anything over the network it won't work. Although it will work &lt;em&gt;sometimes&lt;/em&gt; (i.e. some data will get through). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Debugging:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My Android phone is able to connect and use other wireless networks, although I have only tried two (at my university and at a friend). This would indicate that my phone is not broken. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With closer inspection with the Terminal Emulator App when I ping my server I will get a 80% packet loss ratio. This of course makes it impossible to use the wireless network, but it means some packets do get through (even to the Internet) so it is not a DNS problem. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My laptop can connect and use my wireless network flawlessly (in fact, it can download from Internet at 18 Mbps and upload at 10 Mbps with 802.11g, which I presume is good). My USB wireless adapter works well with it as well. One of my friend's Android phone (LG Optimus One) and iPod works with my wireless network as well, and most strangely, another friend's Android phone who have the very same model (Huawei Ideos X5) works with my wireless network. This would indicate that my access point is not faulty. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are tons of wireless networks in my area. My phone can see 21 including my own. I have no idea whether this can affect anything. I cannot try any of these because they are protected.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is worth mentioning that I do not have your average wireless network setup. I have a server (stationary computer) that runs DHCP server, and so on. Only recently I added wireless network to my apartment by buying D-Link DIR-300 and flashing it with DD-WRT. I have no idea if it worked or not with the original firmware. The router acts as an access point. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have tried to change channel, protocol (B, G, N) , security settings from open to encrypted (WPA2 AES), etc. on the AP to no avail. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even if the phone is just a few centimeters away from the AP it will still have a 80% packet loss. DD-WRT reports 92-98% signal strength. I think there is a software/setting problem and not a hardware one. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And of course, I have tried to both reset my AP and my phone. Neither helped. Android phone's WiFi does not work when the router is using the factory default or AP settings. I am however concerned that some faulty settings for my wireless network are stored on the phone and it seems they might be synchronized to my Google account, and possibly they might still be there even after I &quot;forget&quot; my wireless network or reset the phone (is there a way to be sure everything is wiped?). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point, I am out of ideas. I hope I explained my situation sufficiently. Do you have any ideas? Thanks in advance.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have done some further testing. I reset the DD-WRT router once again to see if it would work and per Ryan's suggestion try to strip it down to the most basic setup. It did not work even if I tried only b/g mode. Interestingly enough the first two seconds of pinging after changing mode works without any packet loss but after that, it will go back to bad again. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also tried something I wouldn't believe would work -- flashing the original firmware back. To my surprise it did work and my phone doesn't have any packet loss when pinging. (I actually missed that the original firmware &lt;em&gt;does&lt;/em&gt; support AP mode). However, I still cannot understand why it didn't work in DD-WRT and would be very interested in any possible explanation. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As stubborn as I am, I might try to flash back to DD-WRT again tomorrow to see if it works (if it does, I cannot explain why!

In deciding whether to write upgrades, manufacturers (and to certain extent, carriers) faces a dilemma, they make better profit by selling to you a new device instead of writing upgrades for free, but poor upgrade history will put off customers as well; so they will often drop support for older phones and only write one or two version upgrades at most.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hardware limitation has never been a problem for upgrades.

That being said, all android devices I have fiddled with have had support for ext2/ext3 compiled in (I think all Gingerbread devices must have support for ext2/ext3 since they are starting to use it on the eMMC flash instead of YAFFS2).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In order to check that ext2/ext3 is working correctly, I suggest you connect your device to a PC and log on via 'adb shell'. From there, create a mount-point (for example by doing 'mkdir /mnt/tmp') and try mounting manually. SDcards usually end up as /dev/mmcblkXpY, where X is the device number and Y the partition number. Try mounting by doing 'mount -t ext3 /dev/mmcblkXpY /mnt/tmp'. If that works, and you can read and write to /mnt/tmp, ext3 is working as it should.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4444" LastActivityDate="2011-04-17T18:45:28.777" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is also my first time to use a GPS device so I don't have any idea on how long it takes for a typical GPS device to get a &quot;lock&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I just bought the HTC Desire HD last week. Everything is running fine until I tested the GPS today.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I noticed something strange when I used the &quot;Location&quot; application and it gets stuck in &quot;Waiting for location&quot;. To check if this is an app issue, I used &quot;Maps&quot; and pressed the &quot;My Location&quot; button, and it said something like &quot;Your location is currently unavailable&quot;. I've tried other &quot;map&quot;-type applications but the story is the same, I can't get my location.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, I've done some research and it seems that it will actually take a long time for the device to get a lock for the firs time (something about &quot;almanacs&quot; and A-GPS &quot;setting). I've also read about the limitations of GPS (you need to be in a line-of-sight, clear weather, etc).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, what I've done is I've downloaded the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.appbrain.com/app/gps-status-toolbox/com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&quot;GPS Status and Toolbox&quot;&lt;/a&gt; app from the market. I've gone ahead a cleared and re-downloaded my A-GPS setting. I've also removed the &quot;CAPDASE&quot; rubber-case from the device to reduce the chance of interference.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Using the said app, I was happy to see that my device was able to &quot;fix&quot; and &quot;locate&quot; GPS satellites (I get 4/5). The weird thing is, I can't get any &quot;data&quot; (LONG/LAT?) from the satellites. The numbers below (see image) are not showing in my device, instead, it is replaced by a &quot;loading&quot; animated image. (like the used to indicate an &quot;AJAX&quot; load from webpages). While all of this is happening the GPS icon in the notification bar is blinking (Should it not blink when I get a &quot;lock&quot;?)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/95FLX.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What is happening here?

If an app is hogging system resources or otherwise being a problem, uninstall it.  Android is designed to manage running services and apps automatically, and manual interference is tricky and can cause various problems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are apps that claim to allow you to edit start-up processes (&lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.advancedprocessmanager&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;example&lt;/a&gt;), but I don't trust them.  Many of them either do nothing or simply force close the app every time it starts.  Many services auto-restart so your phone will never sleep, the services will just be run and closed over and over.  Many of these apps don't require root, so I'd be surprised if they could do anything at all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With root, you can use an app like &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Autostarts&lt;/a&gt; to manage which apps are triggered by events.  This isn't quite the same as preventing apps from running at startup, but it can help prevent them from restarting after they've been killed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I recommend &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/search?q=titanium+backup&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Titanium Backup&lt;/a&gt; for uninstalling system apps.  Make sure you don't remove actual Android OS apps/services, just third-party apps that have been protected (e.g. bundled software like you'd get on Windows).  Some of these apps are more important than they appear (I hear Motorola phones have a lot of &quot;useless&quot; apps that the system relies on for no good reason), so use the backup feature of Titanium first.  (Note that if you break something badly, you may not be able to get into the phone to restore and fix it!)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be very careful how you use all of these tools.  If you remove or disable a system process, you can make your phone unusable.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1465" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:30.453" LastActivityDate="2012-10-03T23:24:23.620" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

That question asks specifically if apps can be queued to update, rather than all run simultaneously, which I suspect is a possible (but perhaps not only) solution to my problem. The answer seems to be no for that particular potential solution.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I go to the market and am notified of many of my apps having been updated, I have the option to 'Update All'. If I do this when I have a relatively low amount of internal storage available, I often end up with a lot of apps failing to update due to disk space problems. I have noticed in the past that updating each app one by one has allowed me to perform all of the updates without a problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My intuition is that updates are probably being downloaded to internal storage, so in the case that many updates are being performed at once, the internal storage fills up with a mixture of applied updates, and in-progress downloads.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Performing the app updates one by one allows each app to in turn be downloaded, applied, and then the download removed, before moving on to the next update. If the app is stored on the SD card, doing it this way should mean there is as much room left on the internal storage as before the previous update was applied, so the next can proceed and hopefully succeed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Given that there doesn't seem to be a way to queue apps for updates (according to the answer to the above linked question), are there any other ways to avoid this problem?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Checking for updates more frequently in order to have smaller simultaneous batches is all I can really come up with for now.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4769" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:29.120" LastActivityDate="2011-08-03T16:25:02.860" Title="Is there a way to avoid disk space errors when batch updating apps (using 'Update All')?"

I suppose the issue may not be the video playback itself but the audio codec used in the video (mp3).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Any idea how to fix this or debug this? I don't want to reboot my phone every couple of days - it takes 2-3 minutes to do this and a phone should just work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I applied 2.2.1 firmware lately and this only seemed to make the problem worse. I had this before 2.2.1 (with 2.2) but only very rarely.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm curious if TitaniumBackup may be the culprit as the backup scheduler seems to stop processes sometimes. Maybe others experiencing this issue use scheduled TitaniumBackups, too? The hint was that since upgrading to 2.2.1 I also upgraded to the licensed TitaniumBackup version and scheduled daily backups. But this may just be coincidence. What contradicts this theory: Backups are scheduled at night but last time I saw this issue it happened during the day - mp3 worked in the morning, failed in the afternoon. The phone was idle during the time it &quot;decided&quot; to no longer play mp3.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Looking at forums (I only found a few hits in Google), people having the same problems suggest to simply reboot the phone - but that is no fix at all. Or they suggest to send the phone back for replacement - and guess what: It has not fixed the problem for people experiencing this issue. So I suggest it is not a hardware issue (neither related to sdcards nor to the phone itself).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2378" LastEditorUserId="6852" LastEditDate="2011-07-28T19:18:19.500" LastActivityDate="2011-07-15T01:45:05.267" Title="Unsupported File Type: Why did my Samsung Galaxy S suddenly stop supporting MP3s?"

They've never released one for their Galaxy S family of phones without their TouchWiz &quot;enhancements&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Historically the only Android devices that have run the stock OS have been the very early phones released by each manufacturer (before they'd written their own customizations) and the Google Nexus series of phones. If you stray away from that you are going to get modified firmwares, interfaces and apps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One of the big downsides to using a phone that has extensive manufacturer customizations is that this means that they will generally be a lot slower in pushing out updated versions of the Android OS to you. Phones with manufacturer customized OS's are normally updated months after the Nexus devices, if ever. This is because the manufacturers have to do lots of work and testing to re-integrate all of their changes and customizations back into the OS every time the base OS changes. Factor in the fact that phone companies often drag their feet in certifying the updated OS's on their networks and you have a huge set of delays before the updates reach your phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The big upsides to a customized OS is that the manufacturer will often add a lot of features that aren't available to stock OS phones, eg Samsung's TouchWiz offered built-in wireless tethering well before it was added to the stock OS in Froyo, both HTC Sense and Samsung TouchWiz add remote phone tracking and wiping features to the phones (in most geographic regions), their media players can generally play more formats, and the interfaces often look &quot;nicer&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your main option for &quot;clean&quot; firmwares running the stock OS for non-Nexus phones is to use unofficial custom ROMs. Many of these use the stock Android interface and apps, with only minimal changes to either. See these questions for more on custom ROMs: &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/2885/what-is-the-difference-between-rooting-jailbreak-rom-mod-etc&quot;&gt;What is the difference between: Rooting, Jailbreak, ROM, Mod, etc&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/6028/what-is-the-meaning-of-flashing-a-custom-rom&quot;&gt;What is the meaning of “flashing a custom ROM”?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also see this previous question: &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/644/android-phones-without-custom-uis&quot;&gt;Android phones without custom UIs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE&lt;/strong&gt;: Since this answer was written one things has changed. In mid-2013 Google started offering &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/devices&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&quot;Google Play Edition&quot; phones for sale on the Play Store&lt;/a&gt; in certain regions in addition to their own Nexus line of devices. These &quot;Google Play Edition&quot; phones tend to be some of the more popular, higher-end GSM phones and are offered with the plain Android OS with Google Apps, and without any manufacturer or carrier modifications, just like Nexus phones. So far these phones have been getting OS updates much faster than their manufacturer modified brethren.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So far the phones available on there in &quot;Pure Google&quot; versions include the &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=samsung_galaxy_s4&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Samsung Galaxy S4&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=htc_one&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;HTC One&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=lg_g_pad&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;LG G Pad 8.3&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=sony_z_ultra&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Sony Z Ultra&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=moto_g_8gb&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Motorola Moto G&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As these are generally the exact same hardware as their manufacturer branded siblings there are often fairly simple ways to apply these &quot;clean&quot; OSs to branded phones (but do check that you really do have the same hardware, some of these phones have &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/a/60672/156&quot;&gt;variations with the same name&lt;/a&gt;, but &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/a/59024/156&quot;&gt;different hardware&lt;/a&gt; in them, eg they may be available in GSM, CDMA, LTE versions with totally different radio hardware and SoC CPUs).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="156" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:25.930" LastActivityDate="2014-01-22T13:46:51.177" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In Windows terms, it's a rough equivalent of Boot Menu (usually accessed by pressing F8 during boot-up.)  It's invisible to the phone under normal operation, and is accessed in a special way (usually by turning the phone on while holding one or more buttons).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem is that the recoveries that comes with stock devices do not allow for installation of custom ROMs, only firmware images &quot;signed&quot; by the manufacturer.  In order to install custom ROMs (e.g. CyanogenMod for example) you will need to replace the stock Recovery image with a custom one, made by community developers.  On Android there are several custom recoveries, Clockworkmod (CWM) and Amon-Ra being the most known ones.  These custom Recoveries allow you to do a lot more things with your phone.  The biggest advantage is being able to flash unsigned custom ROMs.  Other benefits include various tools and utilities for further managing the phones.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One such utility is called &quot;NANDroid&quot;.  It's a backup and restore tool that allows you to take a full image of all the phone's internal NAND memory (hence the name) and store it on your SD Card.  Should something go wrong with the phone's software, you can use the previously saved backup to restore the phone to a working state.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The maker of ClockworkMod Recovery also created an Android app called &quot;ROM Manager&quot;.  This app allows you to easily upgrade the CWM recovery to a new version when one becomes available for your device.  It also allows you to manage NANDroid backups stored on the SD Card, as well as perform a slew of other useful advanced tasks.  These include fixing app/data permissions, re-partitioning of the SD Card right on the phone, downloading different custom ROMs and flashing them directly from the app.  A paid &quot;Premium&quot; version of the app has more advanced features, such as OTA update notifications for custom ROMs that support it, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3646" LastActivityDate="2011-05-06T14:15:24.213" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The processor should underclock itself when you do this, too (how much probably depends on the device).

Android starts the process when any of the application's components need to be executed, then shuts down the process when it's no longer needed or when the system must recover memory for other applications.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So effectively Android can be summarized as killing programs when it determines you're not using it (I clicked quit in the app), or when it runs out of resources.  For example, If you have 512 MB of ram, and 10 free and you launch an app that needs 12 it will try to determine the least used app it can grab 12 from.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It tends to do this pretty well (at least in my experience).  You might be able to go home from your game, and do a couple things, but on the third thing it will evict the game.  Keep in mind how resource intensive games in particular are, so it's likely it will kill that app sooner rather then later. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now the reason it disappears after time, is that you likely have sync processes trying to start and compete for resources.  The apps memory pages have been hit very infrequently at this point, so it's fair game to any memory reclamation the OS feels is necessary.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To your second question;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;how can I set it up to allow this app to continue running?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't use a task killer, but I'm pretty sure the good ones (seems like ATK is the leader &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rechild.advancedtaskkiller&amp;amp;feature=search_result&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rechild.advancedtaskkiller&amp;amp;feature=search_result&lt;/a&gt; ) have an exception list.  It might be possible to whitelist the game you want, and blacklist the other processes.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm also not familiar with this game, so I'm not sure what auto-save abilities and such this has.

However it sounds like some of the merging of duplicates, and what number is the &quot;default&quot; number get lost? For this I would definitely recommend the Gmail application online.  All you need is to login from a computer and select &quot;contacts&quot;. Then just go under &lt;em&gt;&quot;more actions&quot;&lt;/em&gt; and do &lt;em&gt;&quot;find and merge duplicates&quot;&lt;/em&gt; That should give you just one contact per person. This is your best option if you have lots of contacts, some are duplicates, or other information not entered or organized correctly. It can be quite time consuming and tedious to do editing from the handset. If this is not what you are asking, you may have to rephrase the question slightly. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you say &quot;sync the default number&quot; that is rather ambiguous sentence. For example, I log into Gmail, click contacts, and then select one of my friends. There it shows me the numbers stored on my phone (in the Google cloud). If I were to change the numbers shown, that change would be reflected when I grabbed the handset next. Are you looking to make one number the default number for that person? And have it do so automatically? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit:&lt;/strong&gt; After doing a little more research, it looks like this question was addressed &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=21fb11b23277764f&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; title=&quot;here&quot;&gt;here at the Google forums&lt;/a&gt;. The last comment in the list (by ratgurrl) mentions exactly this frustration. And despite what you do on the phone, when you resynchronize you lose the preference settings you put in the handset, and the 'DEFAULT' will revert to whichever contact number is at the top of the list on that contact in Gmail. So the REAL answer until Google addresses this: log into Gmail, and move the one you want as the &quot;default&quot; contact to the top of the list. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="5043" LastEditorUserId="156" LastEditDate="2013-10-09T14:22:02.967" LastActivityDate="2013-10-09T14:22:02.967" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Re-downloading probably refreshes the token since it's originally retrieved at install time, but it sounds like you may also be able to clear the appstore data and sign in to get a valid token, or possibly just launch the appstore and let it connect/refresh itself (haven't tried these myself as I haven't had this error yet).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastActivityDate="2011-05-12T15:28:05.517" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It requires your phone to be rooted in order for it to work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you don't have root, one option is to wipe the data for the launcher application, which will force it to re-sort the apps. You do this by going into &lt;code&gt;Settings-&amp;gt;Applications-&amp;gt;Manage Applications&lt;/code&gt; and finding the launcher (should be called &quot;TwLauncher&quot;, I think). Then you select that and hit clear data. &lt;strong&gt;Be warned&lt;/strong&gt;, though, that this will wipe your home screen settings, meaning that any widgets or home screen icons you have set up will need to be reconfigured. You can easily set them back up, but it can be a bit annoying. You'd also have to do this every time you install a new app.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another alternative would be to install a different launcher.

That's basically what the phone itself does - verifies that something that claims to be from the same party as something already on the phone actually is - the phone doesn't refuse to install things with unknown signers, it can only (object to/clear application data of) apparent forgeries when something new doesn't match something old that it claims to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You will need to have jarsigner and keytool.

Second, widgets and apps that run as a service (e-mail, virtual keyboards, weather notifications, etc.) don't work when moved to SD, and must reside on the phone's internal memory.  Furthermore, not the entire app moves to the SD Card.  A part of it stays on the phone, along with its cache and data/settings.  If you have a phone with a small amount of internal app storage, using the built-in Apps-to-SD will just prolong the inevitable &quot;out of memory&quot; errors.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Apps2ext scripts resolve most of these shortcomings.  It &quot;fools&quot; the phone into thinking that the Ext2/3/4 partition is part of the phone's internal memory.  This means that widgets and services will work just fine with this method. Also, since you can make your partition as large as you wish (recommended not to exceed 2GB), the space issues disappear.  The scripts also provide options for moving caches and data to the Ext partition in order to free up even more internal memory.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The drawback of the Apps2ext method is that it's well, a hack.  First off, your phone needs to be rooted.  Second, you will no longer be able to un-mount and remove the SD Card from the phone, since ALL of the apps (including system ones) reside on the Ext partition. Third, you are putting a lot more strain on the SD Card from increased writing, which may shorten its lifespan. Finally, as with any hack it may make your phone less stable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3646" LastEditorUserId="3646" LastEditDate="2011-05-18T14:11:21.700" LastActivityDate="2011-05-18T14:11:21.700" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The only problem with this is that if you are wearing gloves or need to make a precise touch point, capacitive screens do not work well. Most likely many if not all of our tech-savvy readers have a piece of antistatic film lying around.

This screen uses the term &quot;SD card&quot; to refer to the external SD card and the term &quot;Internal storage&quot; to refer to the internal SD card excluding the (internal) ROM storage:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/62kH7.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/QXKfS.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the Samsung Galaxy SIII there is no internal ROM (just an internal SD card space and an optional external SD card space). On such device, the naming convention is different:&#xA;the interface accessed from &lt;code&gt;Settings -&amp;gt; More -&amp;gt; Application manager&lt;/code&gt; calls &quot;Device memory&quot; the amount of internal SD card storage which is not allocated to system files but to user files (on my system a total of 11.3GB available for user files out of a total of 16GB for the internal SD card), whereas &quot;USB storage&quot; is the storage available on the external SD card (which when inserted as on the screenshot below amounts to 16GB for a 16GB microSD card):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/KypLW.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/sHBIq.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/sxzDL.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/eITM3.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/ueCsV.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/3Bhk0.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/5LZZq.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/pU6la.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the Samsung Galaxy SIII the &lt;code&gt;Settings -&amp;gt; More -&amp;gt; Storage&lt;/code&gt; screen is slightly inconsistent as it calls &quot;Device memory&quot; the total amount of memory on the internal SD card, and &quot;SD card&quot; the stuff available on the external SD card, as the screenshots below demonstrate:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/qvO3h.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/hslfa.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/xy7aR.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/2s5Kk.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, the naming conventions used across various devices or even across the same device can be inconsistent and confusing. As long as you know how to interpret these terms on your own device you'll be OK.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, most apps don't know that there's two separate storage spaces, as this is a Samsung thing, not an Android thing. Media files copied into either location will be picked up OK by the media scanner, so you can put your music, etc where you want without any worries. Some apps, like the Camera app, have been modified by Samsung to know about the multiple storage locations and will let you save to either (configurable in the settings); others don't, and will only save to the internal storage space.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here is the option allowing you to save to either location on the Samsung Galaxy SIII Camera app:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/yTbNh.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/0hE9S.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I haven't had a chance to play with Kies Air since Gingerbread, so can't help you there (but I will try to over the weekend and update). But for File Manager apps you should be able to see the folder &lt;code&gt;/mnt/sdcard&lt;/code&gt; which is the internal SD card and looking down that you should see a folder called either &lt;code&gt;external_sd&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;extSdCard&lt;/code&gt; which, if you open it is your micro-SD card. For any apps that let you pick where to save files, saving to this location will ensure its on the actual external SD card.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="156" LastEditorUserId="41884" LastEditDate="2014-12-19T17:33:43.843" LastActivityDate="2014-12-19T17:33:43.843" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Select your application in the left pane, and then pick the &quot;Target&quot; tab.

A couple months ago my OS was updated to Android 2.3. Since then I've had a weird problem with my calendar events. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can view calendar events just fine, and the calendar syncs with my Google Account bi-directionally without issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I create a calendar event, the &quot;time zone&quot; option defaults to my current time zone, &quot;GMT -4, Eastern Standard Time&quot;, just like it did on Android 2.2. However, when I touch the time zone option to select a time zone, there are two time zone entries that match mine. One is &quot;GMT -4, Eastern Standard Time&quot;, the other is &quot;GMT -4, Eastern Time&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem happens when I edit an event. Frequently, when I edit a calendar entry, the event jumps 4 hours ahead unless I manually edit it back down. For example, if I create a calendar event and set the starting time to 1:00pm, when I edit the event I've created the edit screen will show a starting time of 5:00pm. It still shows the correct time zone, but it adds the 4 hour GMT difference into the event's starting time. If I save the event without adjusting it back down, the next time I edit it it will say 9:00pm. This happens regardless of whether the event was originally created on the phone, or if it was created on my desktop PC by visiting &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/calendar&quot;&gt;http://www.google.com/calendar&lt;/a&gt;. It doesn't seem to matter which of the two &quot;US Eastern Time&quot; options I select when creating an event on the phone. This problem did not exist before I installed Android 2.3. It doesn't happen with every single event, but I haven't been able to figure out what the common element is between the unaffected events. It does seem that events that are freshly-created are less prone to this problem (possibly the problem starts after the data's been synced a few times?)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I create a calendar event on my phone, and then edit it on my desktop PC using &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/calendar&quot;&gt;http://www.google.com/calendar&lt;/a&gt;, the PC edit screen behaves normally, and the changes sync back to my phone without issue. Only when editing events on the phone do I experience this problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's very annoying that I have to dial my events back 4 hours every time I make a change to them.

The Galaxy S II only takes 1080p video at up to 3 MB/s, and I don't know of any phone at the moment that takes higher-quality videos.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that the Galaxy S uses the internal SD storage for most things (possibly including video; not sure if you can choose the save location).

This won't work for other sensitive material, but since you asked specifically for KeePass, here's what I do: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Protect the database with the password (I assume you have, already), &lt;strong&gt;and&lt;/strong&gt; a key. This will give you a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-factor_authentication&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;two-factor authentication&lt;/a&gt; (&quot;something you know&quot; -- your password, and &quot;something you have&quot; -- your key). The password database can only be unlocked when &lt;strong&gt;both&lt;/strong&gt; pieces are in place.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Copy the key to the local storage of all your devices, and give it some inconspicuous name. Preferably put it in a crowded directory where it would seem like some configuration file or some random noise file created by a program.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Upload your database to a third-party storage service (I use Dropbox, but other options would work just as well). It goes without saying that the service should have an Android client if you want to use it on your device. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DO NOT&lt;/strong&gt; upload your key there -- use another method to copy it to the devices you need. Dropbox in particular keeps a copy of the files you upload and then delete at least for a week for backup purposes (quite convenient, I must admit), but if your key is on the server already, it's not more secure than a normal password-protected database.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Configure your KeePass clients not to remember the location of the key (remembering the location of the database is fine). &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this way, you can upload your database to a random website, and even if your password gets compromised for some reason (i.e. keyboard loggers), you can only use the database from devices that have the key AND now which file is actually the key.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For convenience, you might want to have key-only authentication on a mobile device (secure passwords are tedious to type on a mobile device, and you obviously don't want to use anything short and easy here). But I would recommend against this, as in this case the security is even lower than a password-protected database -- instead of a password you have in your head, you use a &quot;password&quot; (the key file) that is on your device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;KeePass doesn't give any hints whether it requires key, password or both -- which works to your advantage.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="979" LastActivityDate="2011-05-23T09:32:58.750" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For reference, i have owned an SGS for 9 months now and have got it to the point of being basically perfect.  The hardware capabilities of this phone are amazing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, the default SGS software is without a doubt terrible.  The above answer is very good at addressing your specific concerns, but my advice is to do away with the standard Samsung ROM and replace it with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.darkyrom.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Darky's ROM&lt;/a&gt; which has all of the above answers already implemented, as well as a host of other speed and usability improvements, including integrating a large part of the Gingerbread UI which is very nice.  Version 9.5 would be my recommendation, which is based on the official Froyo release and is proven to be very stable.  I recommend you erase all caches and apps off your phone and start afresh - it helps avoid some minor niggles you can have with apps that were installed on a previous version.  Full and clear instructions are available in the &lt;strong&gt;Forum&lt;/strong&gt; section of the linked page.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With this ROM, i have no FCs and no lag at all, but some of the problems you mention (eg - Flac compatibility may fit into this category) are app specific and can only be fixed with updated applications.

Go to the XDA developers forum and search for McGyver battery fix. (you can also find sbf files there) If RSD lite recognizes your phone flash the sbf file and let it do it's thing. More detailed instructions can be found on XDA as well, but that is the jist of what you need to do. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="5421" LastActivityDate="2011-05-25T22:08:15.697" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For older handsets with 150MB of free space (G1, MT3G, etc.) this is a huge improvement. For owners of these devices this advantage alone outweighs any disadvantages that this method brings.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Disadvantages:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cannot use apps moved to SD Card if it's unmounted.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Kind of self-explanatory: if you un-mount the SD Card for removal, the apps that reside on it need to be stopped and um-mounted as well to prevent crashes and data loss if you do remove the card.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inability to use widgets or sync adapters when you move those apps to SD Card.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;This is a design limitation that stands from the above point. Since the apps stored on SD Cards need to be able to be removed on demand, things like widgets or apps that hook into your account settings (e.g. Skype, LinkedIn) will crash, with no easy way to re-start them. So Google made a compromise by requiring these apps to stay on internal memory. Even if you do manage to force them to the SD Card (some custom ROMs allow this), you simply won't be able to use them.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Longer boot-up and shut-down times when the system mounts/un-mounts all of the apps stored on SD Card.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Apps that were moved to SD Card are not stored in plain sight to prevent rampant piracy. Instead, Android sets aside some space and creates a virtual partition for each app that you move. This means that at the initial boot-up, all these virtual partitions need to be mounted before apps stored on them can be accessed. The same holds true when you turn the handset off - each virtual partition is un-mounted before other shutdown processes can happen. Depending on the number of installed apps this can take an extra minute or even longer for the system to &quot;stabilize&quot; upon boot-up (and about 20 extra seconds for shutting down.) Once this happens though, launching these apps doesn't take any longer than those on internal memory.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Extra wear on the SD Card.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;This point is debatable, since writing to SD Card (which causes wear) doesn't happen that often. And besides, the SD Cards these days are cheap enough to not worry about their life time.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Apps require an update to support this functionality.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Ability to be moved to SD Card is not automatically granted to older apps. Developers must change their apps to support this feature and issue an update via Market (or whatever distribution method they use.) Some older apps may not be supported any longer, and so may never get this feature. Although some custom ROMs can override this, for most people that are running stock firmware, this is a problem.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For newer devices with gigabytes of internal memory moving apps to external storage is not necessary, since space is not an issue.

The RIL then communicates to the Android platform for all radio-related events.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It could be done with some &lt;em&gt;extensive&lt;/em&gt; modifications to the underlying Linux kernel (it's open source, so definitely a possibility if you don't mind getting your hands dirty in C), or by replacing the RIL daemon (not as easy, because the &lt;code&gt;rild&lt;/code&gt; is &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; required to be open source, therefore you don't know what the underlying implementation is without reverse engineering).  Doing the latter will break Android's ability to use it properly, unless you somehow come up with a compatibility channel to proxy communication between the new RIL and the existing RIL - and even then, there's a good chance that Android will become confused when it tries to make a call (knowing that the modem &lt;em&gt;should not&lt;/em&gt; currently be in use, but getting a response from the radio saying that it is in use).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Failing that, you might also be able to achieve it by replacing the Phone app and using all-native platform APIs.  But I'm kind of thinking that it won't work (at least based on my knowledge of how HTC radios work).  In an HTC device, when you place a call, Android notifies &lt;code&gt;rild&lt;/code&gt;, which places the call, and then &lt;code&gt;rild&lt;/code&gt; tells the &lt;strong&gt;radio&lt;/strong&gt; that it should route all call audio through the handset speaker and route all sound picked up from the microphone into the phone call.  The Android platform does not handle call audio routing itself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All of the above requires rooting the device and installing a custom-built ROM at a minimum.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="5457" LastActivityDate="2011-06-02T03:23:24.917" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Nightly) by tapping on the type right above the list of downloads.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Tap on the filename to begin download.  Obviously a WiFi connection is recommended because the ROMs are fairly large, at around 100 MB.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Once the download completes, reboot into Recovery (Clockworkmod, Amon-RA, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Perform a NANDroid backup, so that you can do a restore in case something goes wrong in subsequent steps.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Wipe Cache and Dalvik-cache partitions (you'll need to find the relevant menu entries in whatever recovery image you are using.) This step is not mandatory, but can help resolve stability issues, so always I perform it.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;[Edit]&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; 7.a. Note that if you are upgrading to the same ROM (i.e. flashing a newer nightly of CyanogenMod) you don't have to wipe data. This way all of your current apps and settings are retained. Only if you change to a different ROM altogether (i.e. going from CM to a Sense port) would you need to start over by wiping the /data partition.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Select to flash a Zip from SD Card from the &quot;download&quot; folder (could be a different directory, depending on the browser you are using.)  This can take a while, and the progress bar might appear to be stuck, but don't cut power to the phone or you'll risk corruption.  Once the &quot;success&quot; message appears you can move forward.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Optionally flash an alternate kernel image (for overclocks, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Reboot your phone.  This step will take longer than usual, since the caches are being rebuilt.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ROM Manager Premium automates most of these steps so that you don't have to muck around the recovery too much, but you can always to this yourself.  It's still Over-The-Air, since you're not hooking your phone up to a PC to transfer the files.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[Edit]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Furthermore, you can even automate the notifications of new builds being posted for CyanogenMod via RSS feeds.  The trick is that the CM download page doesn't provide its own RSS feed, so you have to create your own via one of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://techpp.com/2009/04/27/top-10-free-tools-to-create-rss-for-any-website-2/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;free services&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Get your device's link (e.g. &lt;code&gt;http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&amp;amp;device=passion&lt;/code&gt; for Nexus One Nightly builds.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Go to one of the free RSS-from-website creation services and create an RSS feed for the link above.

You want to type 300 characters (something like three SMS) and you want to do this as fast as possible. Given my typing speed on the touch screen (even utilizing various speed up input software), I am still typing at something like the fourth of the speed as on a normal keyboard.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This scenario could arise in the following places:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;As a passenger in a car/train/airplane&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;While walking (actually while biking in my case, but this is not recommended)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;While sitting in a sofa/chair&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;While lying in bed&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have come across various wireless keyboards, which could be utilized. The problem is that if I need one hand to hold the phone (in order to read what I type) and one to hold the keyboard in most of the scenarios above, I am left with at best a few fingers to type on the keyboard, which would hardly be better than using the touch screen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Therefore, I am thinking about a keyboard with a holder, which would need to be really tall in order to be close enough for me to actually read what I type. I imagine that the time it takes to set up something like this, would mean that it would not pay off for just typing the 300 characters.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My conclusion so far, is therefore, that there is no current solution to this problem, which would make me faster, apart from buying an android phone with a built in keyboard.

To do this it needs to access the Google account login credentials already saved in your phone's &quot;Accounts&quot; list, otherwise it would have to prompt you to log in to Google every time you open it, or re-save your credentials again itself, which is a bit silly when they're already stored centrally on the phone. If you have more than one Google account on your phone, then the first time you open Goggles it asks you which one you want to save your history into. There's a setting that stops it saving your search history if you don't want this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hardware Controls&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;The entire point of Goggles is to take pictures using the camera, it can't do that without these permissions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your location&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;Using Goggles you can take pictures of landmarks and buildings and have it automatically identify them. It uses your location to help it narrow down the guesses of what you're photographing. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Network communication&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;It uses Google's servers and massive databases to help it identify the potentially billions of different things you could photograph and ask it to recognize.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your personal information&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;*&lt;em&gt;read/write contact data&lt;/em&gt;* You can take a photo of a business card with Goggles and have it save the contact details from the business card straight into your Contacts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Storage&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;You can set Goggles to save all the images it takes to your SD card for later viewing via the gallery app (this is in the Settings and is off by default).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, as far as I can see, they have a legitimate reason for all of the permissions that the app asks for that fits with one or more of the apps functions or needs. Could they also use these permissions for other purposes? Yes, but personally I trust the app to only use the access for the required purposes, after all Google has plenty of other ways to get all of that info, as I'm already syncing all of my Contacts, etc up to GMail anyway!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="156" LastEditorUserId="156" LastEditDate="2013-05-23T14:06:42.580" LastActivityDate="2013-05-23T14:06:42.580" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The &quot;other methods&quot; are just &quot;hacks&quot; that change the image at every percentage level, and there has to be an image for each level.

That screen is very similar to the stock calendar's setup screen, but has one extra option: Add calendar, which helps you to add your other Google calendars.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After this, if you  even uninstall Jorte, the calendars you've added will appear in the stock calendar app as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="5836" LastEditorUserId="96277" LastEditDate="2015-10-01T11:58:06.977" LastActivityDate="2015-10-01T11:58:06.977" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

During the install process you'll want to wipe the &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; partition in order to prevent application crashes and weird permission issues after flashing. If you skip that then your apps and data should hang around, but it causes a lot of strangeness. The best thing to do is simply to backup anything you don't want to lose and then restore it afterwards. You &lt;strong&gt;will&lt;/strong&gt; lose your &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt; apps because the install process will blow away the partition before copying over the CM files. Titanium backup is, in fact, the recommended way to backup your stuff, so you're set there already. Also be aware that your Google apps (Market, GMail, Maps, etc) will be gone since CM does not have permission to package them with his ROM. You can, however, download them &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; (bottom of the page).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don't believe that is a standard Android locale, so you won't have that keyboard on CM (I don't see it as a choice on my phone). You might be able to pull the .apk file from your device and install it, though I wouldn't personally know where it is or what it's name is. If you dig around in &lt;code&gt;/data/app&lt;/code&gt; you might be able to find it, though.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I generally try to stay on the most recent stable recovery versions, so upgrading is certainly not a bad idea. You can try to do this from ROM manager if it has the most recent version available (3.2.0.1 as of writing, it looks like), otherwise you can find it &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039954&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;on XDA&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Updates can be acquired in two ways. One is to buy the premium version of &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager.license&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ROM Manager&lt;/a&gt; and use it to download updates. In theory it's supposed to allow you to register for push notifications when a new update is released (akin to a typical OTA), but it's still &lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3044&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;kind of buggy&lt;/a&gt;. I can't personally attest to how well this works because I do not use it. The alternative is to simply download the .zip file of the newest version and flash it. You generally don't need to wipe &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; or anything when performing incremental updates, only when going from one major version to another (6.x -&gt; 7.x for example), so it's fairly painless. Making NAND backups before flashing updates is always a good idea, though.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastEditorUserId="981" LastEditDate="2011-06-15T13:21:26.377" LastActivityDate="2011-06-15T13:21:26.377" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The EVO came with 2.2 and recently a 2.3 OTA upgrade appeared for it.

With the partitions and the phone rooted I installed an App called S2E that allows your phone to use the EXT3 partition on your SD card to install applications. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With this configuration I maintain the base system (Android and Google applications) on the main ROM of the phone, while all other applications are installed on the EXT3 partition of the SD card, giving me more room for applications and avoiding the inconvenient of having to move all the Android system to SD card.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2457" LastActivityDate="2011-06-17T15:39:28.453" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is, for all intents and purposes, a bleeding-edge attempt to get Honeycomb running on the Tab. The developer refers to it as an &quot;Alpha&quot; and essentially says to expect things to be buggy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since there is no public source code for the 3.x releases of Android yet, the build is based on an extracted image/filesystem from the Android SDK, meaning that it is not optimized for the Tab and probably lacks 3rd party drivers (excepting any official 2.2 drivers that happen to be compatible with 3.x).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The GSM thread lists the following as &quot;not working&quot; under the current build, meaning this is the minimum you should expect to lose:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;*Gyro (no rotation, there is an app installed but rotates wrong way)&#xA;*Settings window not appearing when expanding from the Notifications menu&#xA;*3g data nor phone abilities&#xA;*BT,&#xA;*gyro,&#xA;*hardware acceleration&#xA;*SD card on boot&#xA;*headphone audio&#xA;*mic&#xA;*GPS&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In general, builds like this show up on devices when a new major release appears in the SDK but they tend to be fairly unstable and also fairly slow. The videos I've seen of this ROM appear a bit more performant (in general) than other SDK ports I've encountered, but your experience may vary.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for restoring, the &quot;Factory Reset&quot; option doesn't usually touch system files on most devices, from what I know. It's possible I'm mistaken on this and that the Tab does actually restore the firmware, but I'm not incredibly familiar with the Tab. You'll probably want to do a little digging to see what a &quot;Factory Reset&quot; actually means (might be in your manual, perhaps).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That being said, there are instructions for getting a Verizon Tab back to stock &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967175&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, and there might be similar ones floating around for other carriers. If you can get a custom recovery on to your device then you can simply back up your system before trying Honeycomb and then restore from the backup. The easiest way to do it is probably just to install &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ROM Manager&lt;/a&gt; and flash ClockworkMod recovery from there. There appear to be manual instructions about but they vary by carrier.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Personally speaking:&lt;/em&gt; I would not use an SDK port for anything other than showing off to people (which can admittedly be a &lt;strong&gt;whole&lt;/strong&gt; lot of fun). In a production environment I definitely wouldn't risk it, and I honestly never kept them installed for more than about 30 or 45 minutes at a time to play with before restoring to a stable ROM. They were fun sneak-peaks, but I've always found them highly unreliable (though &quot;your mileage may vary&quot; is probably a good catch phrase here).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit:&lt;/strong&gt; A word of caution to Wifi Tab users, &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14768963&amp;amp;postcount=2198&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt; on one of the Honeycomb threads indicates that the current ROMs (as of 6/19/2011) WILL NOT WORK on a Wifi Tab.

Well, it's because it depends on how a given app is implemented. Android applications are based around the concept of an &lt;em&gt;Activity&lt;/em&gt;, which is described in the development documentation as:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;An activity is a single, focused thing that the user can do.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When a new Activity is launched it is placed onto a system-wide &quot;Activity stack&quot; at the top of the stack (for anyone unfamiliar, see &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_%28data_structure%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Stack (data structure)&lt;/a&gt;). When the back button is pressed, the current Activity (at the top of the stack) is finished and &lt;em&gt;removed&lt;/em&gt; from the stack, causing the previous one (beneath it on the stack) to be brought to the foreground. This pop/bring-to-foreground behavior continues as you keep pressing the back button until you land at HOME, which is the start of the stack. From here, you cannot go &quot;back&quot; any further.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, how does this apply to apps? In many applications, an Activity represents one, &lt;em&gt;individual&lt;/em&gt; screen. When you advance to a new screen, then, a new Activity is actually created for the screen and pushed onto the stack on top of the one that created it. In apps that use this design, hitting back will, in fact, bring you to the previous screen. The reason should be fairly self-evident: the screen you are currently viewing is on the top of the stack, the previous screen sits below it (since they are each Activities themselves). Thus, hitting back removes the current screen from the stack, finishes it, and then loads the previous one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is not a required model&lt;/strong&gt;, however. You can have an Activity that contains multiple layouts and screens. We have used this in my office to, for example, create a configuration wizard of sorts. The idea is that hitting back should simply exit the wizard, and there are &quot;Back&quot; and &quot;Next&quot; buttons on the screen itself to provide navigation. Thus, even if you are on the third screen of the wizard, you have not created any additional Activities, so hitting the back button (hard button) will take you out of the &quot;Wizard Activity&quot; and back to the &quot;Menu Activity&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Further, the behavior of the back button can be &lt;em&gt;overridden&lt;/em&gt; by an application of they so choose. It simply calls a method named &lt;code&gt;onBackPressed()&lt;/code&gt;, which performs the default behavior of going backwards on the Activity stack. However, if there is an overridden implementation of &lt;code&gt;onBackPressed()&lt;/code&gt; in the current Activity, &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; will be executed instead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So to sum up: the idea that the back button goes back to the previous &quot;screen&quot; is not guaranteed at all. The hard back button deals with Activities &lt;strong&gt;only&lt;/strong&gt;, which are often &quot;screens&quot; to the user, but aren't necessarily, and are in no way required to be. There is no concept of &quot;go back one &lt;em&gt;screen&lt;/em&gt;&quot; unless the app you are using says there is, but that functionality is still not guaranteed to be provided by the back button itself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Further reading:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/activity_task_design.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Activity and Task Design&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Activity documentation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastEditorUserId="981" LastEditDate="2011-06-26T19:28:30.797" LastActivityDate="2011-06-26T19:28:30.797" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Now think about how many of your apps put text on screen that you wouldn't want an untrustworthy app to see, I have a password database app on my phone with an encrypted database of my passwords for various systems, a malicious screensaver app could wait until that password app's running, take a picture of the screen with the login details on it, then OCR them and send them off.

This way, you always have the most up-to-date version of that data no matter which device(s) you are currently using.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Many things can be and are synced, including a lot of different data from third-party apps, like Springpad (which syncs your notes) or Dropbox (a file storage service). However, for Google applications, I believe that it's just your contacts, gmail, chats (via Talk) Buzz posts, calendar, and documents. You can also upload and download photos from your Picasa account as well. However, I also think that Google has lots of other apps that do not come pre-installed on most phones, such as finance, which (I &lt;em&gt;think&lt;/em&gt;) will sync with your online stock portfolio or the like. (I don't use Google Finance, sorry.) SMS is also only on the phone, though they have applications that you can download to backup your SMS to your computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;No, other apps can use syncing as well, though I don't believe that they can sync to your Gmail account. Often times, these services have you register for separate accounts on their sites using your Gmail to sync with their service and their application on your device. For example, like mentioned previously, I use Springpad as a note-taking application on my Droid. I had to create an account on their site (though I could also log in via services like Yahoo! or Gmail) and it would afterwards sync with the application on my phone, so my notes on my phone are always the same as the ones on my online account with Springpad.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I &lt;em&gt;think&lt;/em&gt; that you can add a Gmail account in your Gmail application on your phone. Afterwards, you'd likely be able to delete the old one. Though, you'd probably have to re-purchase or re-install your applications, as those are bought via your Google account. I don't believe it would delete your SMS as those are just on the phone, though it's always a good idea to clean your SMS out because they eventually start to eat up quite a bit of space unless you have them set to automatically delete as you reach a message limit.

It actually appears to be a hardware issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here is the actual issue. When held portrait with the home/options/back buttons at the bottom, about an inch or so up from those buttons there is a &quot;dead&quot; strip that runs horizontally across the entire touch screen. Of course, the keyboard pops up under this strip.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So what do I mean by dead? Well, sometimes choosing an option/box/item that's in this zone, flat out isn't being registered. When typing, it actually causes the touch detection to go haywire. When I tap a key, it usually registers me tapping that key AND one or two of the surrounding keys. Sometimes it doesn't register the intended key just the surround keys.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, pressing i might return i, might return ui, might return iu, might return u. This behavior happens with most of the keyboard and is incredibly frustrating.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On very rare occasions when I press a letter, it also registers me pressing a key on the completely otherside of the keyboard. The worst example of this is when i hit backspace and it's also registering 'c' and/or 'v' with the click.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As to further demonstrate the issue, I downloaded a drawing app (Draw! if any one's curious) and drew a bunch of lines. It works perfectly when drawing straight lines (well, I'm human so they aren't PERFECTLY straight) up and down, and left and right on the screen.. except when I get to the deadzone. When I'm drawing down (perpendicular) through the dead zone, it works fine with no abnormalities.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But when I draw in a parallel (left to right) direction, when i'm inside the zone it basically draws my straight line has harsh zig-zag lines (ever seen a heart rate monitor?). Additionally some spots in the zone won't be drawn on at all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another note to further show that it's a consistent hardware issue: this zone stays in the same place, no matter if I'm holding it portrait or landscape. I'm forced to type on my phone with it being held upside down so the deadzone doesn't go through my keyboard.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know (well, pretty certain) this is a hardware issue and there's probably no real solution for this phone. But is there any documentation, known issues, reasoning behind this issue? It just started recently and I've had this phone (it's a 'like-new' replacement) for just over a year now. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Should I just bite the bullet and pay for the upgrade to Droid 3 next week?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="5275" LastActivityDate="2011-07-08T16:21:31.497" Title="Semi-Dead Zone on Touch Screen On Droid 1" Tags="&lt;motorola-droid&gt;&lt;touchscreen&gt;" AnswerCount="0" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Many ROMs will work fine when updating from one version to another.

The NAND backup is just in the event that you want to roll back or something goes wrong, but in reality you could even consider that optional (though highly encouraged).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again taking CM as an example, you usually only need to wipe your phone if you're going from one major version to another. A good example would be if you're going from an Android 2.2-based ROM to an Android-2.3 based ROM. This is because there are some significant changes under the hood to Android, and is not really related to the specific ROM itself in most cases. The exception to this is typically carrier OTA updates since they specifically tailor them to play nice with the previous versions (end users wouldn't want to wipe their phone for every OTA, obviously).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit:&lt;/strong&gt; Just to clarify, what I mean by the above is that CM won't wipe your &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; partition (or &lt;code&gt;/cache&lt;/code&gt;, I believe) on its own, as described &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20443-process-of-flashing-to-a-new-update/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.

I &lt;em&gt;have&lt;/em&gt; read, though, that using ROM Manager to flash an update will automatically wipe &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;. There may be a setting for this or this may not be exactly true - I am not sure because I do not install my ROMs this way (I boot into recovery and do it manually).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastEditorUserId="981" LastEditDate="2011-07-11T16:27:09.883" LastActivityDate="2011-07-11T16:27:09.883" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This has happened since 2.1-update1 when I first got the phone and still happens now (running 2.3.4 stock Google OS, unrooted).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;OK, I did find some other people with similar issues:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=0e35a68a13fb466f&amp;amp;hl=en&quot;&gt;http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=0e35a68a13fb466f&amp;amp;hl=en&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=1b552b9e6595a79d&amp;amp;hl=en&quot;&gt;http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=1b552b9e6595a79d&amp;amp;hl=en&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Does anyone know of a way to workaround this?  It's really quite annoying.  Even a bug number in Google's issue tracking system would at least give me some hope that this would get fixed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="6595" LastActivityDate="2016-04-02T09:35:18.647" Title="MMS images showing up as videos" Tags="&lt;nexus-one&gt;&lt;mms&gt;&lt;att&gt;" AnswerCount="2" CommentCount="1" FavoriteCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Your operator's MMSC (Multimedia Messaging Service Center) determines if the data sent is in a format supported by your handset, and if not, transcodes it into another format. This can cause some problems between different devices and operators. For example, my Android receives single images from other Android phones as 10 second videos where 1st half is the image and 2nd half is the message.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At least here in Finland, the behaviour I described is pretty standard and has happened since the days MMS was made available and people are used to it (as far as I know).

As Joachim noted in the comments, usually you can modify &lt;code&gt;PS1&lt;/code&gt; to change your prompt, but it doesn't properly expand prompt variables:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# ps $$  &amp;lt;-- Just showing that the current shell is /system/bin/sh&#xA;ps $$&#xA;USER     PID   PPID  VSIZE  RSS     WCHAN    PC         NAME&#xA;root      1055  129   756    340   c006abb8 afd0c44c S /system/bin/sh&#xA;# echo $PS1&#xA;echo $PS1&#xA;#&#xA;# PS1=&quot;\w # &quot;&#xA;PS1=&quot;\w # &quot;&#xA;\w #   &amp;lt;-- \w should be PWD&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, CyanogenMod does ship with a modified version of &lt;code&gt;sh&lt;/code&gt; called &lt;code&gt;ash&lt;/code&gt; (I believe this is for Android Shell), which does support a subset of these prompt variables. Here's some examples of what does and doesn't work, with local echo removed for the sake of clutter/space:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# ash&#xA;~ # echo $PS1&#xA;\w \$&#xA;~ # PS1=&quot;\u \w \\$ &quot;&#xA;root ~ # PS1=&quot;\t \w \\$ &quot;&#xA;         ~ # PS1=&quot;\l \w \\$ &quot;&#xA;l ~ # PS1=&quot;\H \w \\$ &quot;&#xA;H ~ # PS1=&quot;\h \w \\$ &quot;  &#xA;localhost ~ # cd /sdcard&#xA;localhost /mnt/sdcard #&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for tab-completion: I don't personally know of a way to make this work. I imagine the main problem is actually that the adb shell buffers input up until you press enter, so the tab isn't actually sent to the shell program when you hit it. A good illustration of this is to open a file with &lt;code&gt;more&lt;/code&gt;. The &lt;kbd&gt;q&lt;/kbd&gt; key exits the &lt;code&gt;more&lt;/code&gt; program, but you actually have to press &lt;kbd&gt;q&lt;/kbd&gt; and then hit enter to quit because the initial &lt;kbd&gt;q&lt;/kbd&gt; keystroke isn't sent until you press enter to send the whole buffer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Okay, SSH is a different beast. Assuming you have a reasonably sane client &lt;code&gt;ash&lt;/code&gt; will give you tab-completion along with the prompt variable expansion noted above. If you're using dropbear (the ssh daemon that ships with CyanogenMod) then you can configure &lt;code&gt;ash&lt;/code&gt; to be the default prompt by logging into your device (either SSH or &lt;code&gt;adb shell&lt;/code&gt; works here) and doing the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# echo &quot;/system/xbin/ash&quot; &amp;gt; /data/dropbear/.profile&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This assumes &lt;code&gt;/data/dropbear/.profile&lt;/code&gt; doesn't yet exist, because it will overwrite any existing version (this file is not created automatically, though). It can be edited instead if the file already exists, of course. Then restart dropbear and log in again. You should land at an &lt;code&gt;ash&lt;/code&gt; session:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;login as: root&#xA;Authenticating with public key &quot;rsa-key-20110718&quot;&#xA;TRACE (1391): entering fake-getpwnam&#xA;TRACE (1391): leaving fake-getpwnam&#xA;TRACE (1391): enter sign_key_free&#xA;TRACE (1391): enter dsa_key_free&#xA;TRACE (1391): leave dsa_key_free&#xA;TRACE (1391): enter rsa_key_free&#xA;TRACE (1391): leave rsa_key_free&#xA;TRACE (1391): leave sign_key_free&#xA;/data/dropbear # ps $$&#xA;USER     PID   PPID  VSIZE  RSS     WCHAN    PC         NAME&#xA;root      1392  1391  1084   416   c006abb8 afd0c44c S /system/xbin/ash&#xA;/data/dropbear #&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastEditorUserId="981" LastEditDate="2011-07-18T16:59:33.333" LastActivityDate="2011-07-18T16:59:33.333" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

To do this, go to Settings&gt;Storage&gt;Enable Mass Storage, and untick the box.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Click 'Launch software update' and do not use your computer until the update is complete.

I would often listen to a podcast while playing a game on Froyo.

Solution? Developers have to make sure their UIs scale gracefully.  It's not much different than creating websites for different screen resolutions. This isn't a new problem.

You will find both 'Phone' and 'Media' options for stereo headsets.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An android phone can be actively connected at a time to maximum of 2 devices. One device(Device1) will be connected to the 'Phone' and the other(Device2) will be connected to the 'Media'. All your phone calls will be routed to Device1 and all your music will be routed to Device2. But 2 devices cannot be connected to the same profile at the same time.

Only one device can be connected to the 'Phone' audio at any point of time.

Since devices can either connect to the 'Phone' profile or 'Media' profile and both require speaker output at the other end, I am not sure how it would work. I am specifically curious about how a phone call would work when a mic-only device is connected to the phone profile. May be android would receive audio input from the bluetooth mic and send the audio output to the phone's speaker. Maybe android will show a different profile for the mic-only bluetooth device. The problem is in android I don't see a place where one can choose 'Audio Input' and 'Audio Output' devices like we do in a desktop OS.

On Android 2.2 and above, you can go to home --&gt; menu --&gt; Settings --&gt; Wireless &amp;amp; networks --&gt; Mobile networks --&gt; and then uncheck Data enabled (on phones with Motoblur, the Data enabled setting might be in home --&gt; menu --&gt; Settings --&gt; Data manager --&gt; Data Delivery instead; YMMV).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have Android 2.1 or less, or just want a widget that will let you turn mobile data on and off, there are several apps that do the trick, for example &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Widgetsoid&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.code.apndroid&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;APNdroid&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Like Matthew Read &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/12250/smartphone-without-the-expensive-data-plan/12251#12251&quot;&gt;said&lt;/a&gt;, the major carriers won't let you put a smartphone on their network without a data plan.  However, you might have better luck with smaller carriers that operate on the big carriers' networks.  You end up getting better prices but the same coverage areas.  For example, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.walmart.com/cp/Walmart-Family-Mobile/1076544&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Walmart Family Mobile&lt;/a&gt; plans include unlimited talk and text, and pay-as-you-go for data.  So if you don't use any data, you don't pay for data.  They run on T-Mobile's network, and you can either buy one of their phones, use a T-Mobile phone, or an unlocked GSM phone.  Here are a few other examples:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.boostmobile.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Boost Mobile&lt;/a&gt; (Sprint)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mysimplemobile.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Simple Mobile&lt;/a&gt; (T-Mobile)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.virginmobileusa.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Virgin Mobile&lt;/a&gt; (Sprint)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And then you've got other carriers that operate their own smaller networks, but have roaming deals with the bigger carriers, so once again you still get coverage areas comparable to the major carriers:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mycricket.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Cricket Wireless&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.metropcs.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;MetroPCS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uscellular.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;US Cellular&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's a more comprehensive list of US wireless companies that operate on the larger companies' networks here:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_US_MVNO&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_US_MVNO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="5132" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:20.860" LastActivityDate="2011-08-10T15:46:36.757" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There are various reasons for high rate of battery drain. Also it depends a a lot on the firmware, android version and device you are using. For example : I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 device. Initially it came loaded with Android 2.1 and a pretty poor battery life of utmost 2 days. I rooted my device and I saw a significant increase in battery life of around 3 days without charging. Next I gave a tried out a custom ROM for my handset and the battery life inreased tremendously to 5-6 days and when I upgraded to gingerbread its back down to 2 days. Also it depends on how you use your phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Some apps keeping running in the background and eat out battery life. Try avoiding them. Alternate solution would be using a task killer.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Excessive Data usage (over WiFi/3G) also reduces charge. Switch off wifi and turn on to 2G network when not using the internet.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Keep Bluetooth off when not using it since it also eats charge.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Turn off GPS when not using any kind of map apps.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Also there is one method many people have vouched to be working. This is be deleting the battery calibration data and forcing the system to make a new one. This however does not increase battery life. It one fixes battery mis-calibration. &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;This app&lt;/a&gt; does the job.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Using some battery saving apps like Juice defender.

The only source I could find suggesting otherwise is the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/24/atandt-google-nexus-s-on-sale-today-exclusive-to-best-buy/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Engadget article previously mentioned&lt;/a&gt;, but that claim seems unsourced (and therefore likely incorrect).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since the &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/8606/what-is-meant-by-the-nexus-s-being-a-developer-phone&quot;&gt;Nexus S is intended to be a developer phone&lt;/a&gt;, all models should have bootloaders that are easily unlocked.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="7263" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:29.120" LastActivityDate="2015-10-29T19:23:42.530" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Usually then, I can clear the logcat or run the logcat fairly stable. If I open Eclispe (my development IDE) and try to run a new build of an app, I'll generally lose the connection. The same thing happens if I try to copy files either via mounting or using pull with adb. Some files will copy, and suddenly the connection will be gone and the device will show offline to adb, or not in the list at all, or listed offline twice. Rebooting the phone sometimes helps, but not always. There are times I close Eclipse and every other app, reboot my phone and still end up having adb completely unable to detect the device. I'll use adb kill-server and adb start-server but this generally doesn't help. I use Avast for my anti-virus at home, but have tried without any anti-virus installed at all and it's the same.

Things like booting up and launching apps will be noticeably slower.  The class rating of your SD Card will play a large role in how much slower your NC will feel when running in such configuration.  It's generally recommended to buy at least a Class 6 card for this purpose.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By running custom ROMs from the SD Card you will be able to easily keep the original manufacturer installed firmware intact.  In Nook Color the SD Card is set as a primary boot device, so if it contains a bootable ROM image, it will be used instead of whatever is installed on EMMC.  By just inserting such a card into the microSD slot and turning the NC on, you will be running a custom ROM.  Boot up without this card - and you're back on the EMMC ROM, be it stock or a different custom one.  This can be quite beneficial for quickly testing out new experimental ROMs (e.g. Honeycomb builds) without blowing away your main one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Although it's possible to multi-boot off EMMC without utilizing the SD Card at all, it's a lot more complicated to set up and maintain.  This involves re-partitioning the internal memory, using a custom boot image, and modifying the start-up scripts for each ROM you'd like to have installed side-by-side.  Needless to say, this type of installation is not for a novice.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3646" LastActivityDate="2011-08-18T15:37:13.583" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It happens on most new devices, i have an Evo and it does this constantly. If i'm not mistaken, it comes from the fact that there are multiple cells in the battery, and when it reads 100%, they may not all be fully charged. Thus, when the battery discharges, the first few percent goes quickly, because it wasn't actually charged completely to begin with. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I assume you did something like this for recalibration:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Turn the EVO on and charge it until the LED indicator turns green.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Unplug it and turn it off.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Plug it back in and charge until the LED indicator turns green.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Unplug it and turn it on.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Once powered on completely, turn it off again.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Plug it back in and charge until the LED turns green.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Unplug it, turn it on, and use it normally.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Without this, i find the battery usually drops to 90% pretty quickly, but if yours is only decreasing to 97% in that time, you're probably okay. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only thing we can really do is hope that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gizmag.com/silicon-nanotubes/12947/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;these&lt;/a&gt; hit it big soon.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="6052" LastActivityDate="2011-08-20T16:50:38.990" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Things like app's data, cache and dalvik-cache (optimized bytecode) are left on the device's internal memory.  You can try to mitigate this by regularly clearing out the cache of apps you use most often (e.g. Browser, etc.) by going to &lt;code&gt;Menu -&amp;gt; Settings -&amp;gt; Applications -&amp;gt; Manage applications -&amp;gt; All&lt;/code&gt;, then selecting the app, and tapping the &lt;code&gt;Clear cache&lt;/code&gt; button.  However, you will just be delaying the inevitable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, the fact that not all apps support being moved to SD does not help the situation.  For example, widgets and sync adapters may not be moved to SD Card due to a limitation of Android.  Other apps simply have not been updated to support this functionality.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your phone is rooted, you have more choice to mitigate this shortcoming.  First, some custom ROMs (e.g. CyanogenMod) allow you to move all non-system apps to the SD Card, even if they don't explicitly support this functionality (even Widgets can be moved, but will stop working after a reboot.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are also alternative &quot;Apps to SD&quot; solutions that can move all non-system apps to the SD Card on a rooted phone.

I love this phone, and if only I could get it to be a bit faster and have a little more internal memory I'd keep it forever. However, it had been around for quite a while before I jumped on the Android bandwagon and it's getting pretty creaky in the joints. Further, my contract isn't up until next April.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Over that time I have installed and uninstalled a &lt;em&gt;lot&lt;/em&gt; of applications (often to answer questions here or, more likely, from recommendations here). I have tried no fewer than five different home screen launcher apps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have streamlined the apps I'm using and moved everything possible to the SD card. Still, performance just isn't that good. I don't want to root (although I've considered it), but I need this thing to carry me for eight more months.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Could a factory reset possibly help? What is the downside to doing a factory reset?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not concerned with losing anything important. Between the Market and AppBrain I have no fear that I won't be able to get key apps back. I also have all of my important data syncing to the cloud so I've no worries there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there anything lost that I can't recover myself? For instance, am I going to have to go back to the Verizon store and have them reprogram my phone number? Is there any reason I &lt;em&gt;shouldn't&lt;/em&gt; just go ahead and to the reset?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: So I took the plunge yesterday and everything worked out fine. I use Google 2-factor authentication, and that complicated things a little bit. Once I got past that it has been fine. I have quickly the discovered the apps I &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; need, and have been enjoying much &quot;snappier&quot; performance.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm just sorry that I can't accept multiple answers.

The App developers have to work with some Linux internals and other issues. This is why most traffic counting Apps don't work on every hardware/software combination. For exaple I had an app that worked with Eclair but stopped working with Gingerbread on my Galaxy S.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Android introduced Long Term Evolution (4G) support with API level 11 (Honeycomb). Most traffic counters read their volume information from the underlying linux network interface. AFAIK there are only two interfaces, one for Wifi and one 2G/3G/4G, which means:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It will be hard to monitor 4G data separated from 2G/3G&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If a app says it monitors 2G/3G it's very likely that this also includes 4G&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Androids 4G API is relatively new. Support, including separate traffic counting (if it's possible), will hit the apps in the near future.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here is an example listing that shows the interfaces and their traffic on my Galaxy S. &lt;strong&gt;pdp0 is the mobile&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;eth0 is the wifi&lt;/strong&gt; iterface:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Interface name: lo&#xA;Bytes in: 204335770&#xA;Bytes out: 204335770&#xA;&#xA;Interface name: svnet0&#xA;Bytes in: 669002&#xA;Bytes out: 38238&#xA;&#xA;Interface name: ifb0&#xA;Bytes in: 0&#xA;Bytes out: 0&#xA;&#xA;Interface name: ifb1&#xA;Bytes in: 0&#xA;Bytes out: 0&#xA;&#xA;Interface name: usb0&#xA;Bytes in: 0&#xA;Bytes out: 0&#xA;&#xA;Interface name: sit0&#xA;Bytes in: 0&#xA;Bytes out: 0&#xA;&#xA;Interface name: ip6tnl0&#xA;Bytes in: 0&#xA;Bytes out: 0&#xA;&#xA;Interface name: eth0&#xA;Bytes in: 9981470&#xA;Bytes out: 3524023&#xA;&#xA;Interface name: pdp0&#xA;Bytes in: 1421620&#xA;Bytes out: 361198&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="440" LastActivityDate="2011-08-26T09:35:57.827" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm Hungarian and our alphabet contains special letters like 'á', 'ő', 'ú' and so on. As you can see each basic letter has a single or a double accent on the top of it (or a dot). If that accent leans to the right like this: 'á' then only 70 letters are allowed to send in a single SMS message. There is another version of that letter in Android when the accent leans to the left: 'à'. Using this will not reduce the 160 letters to 70. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately all the built in Hungarian words use the wrong version of those letters so I have two options when composing a new SMS message: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Turn off word completion and use the basic letters like 'a', 'o', 'u'.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Use word completion but correct the wrong letters.

That's a limitation of Android's implementation of moving apps to SD.  CyanogenMod 7 allows you to move more apps than the stock ROM, but on phones with limited storage you will still eventually run out of space on internal memory.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since you are rooted and already running CM7, take a look at &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=ru.krikun.s2e&quot;&gt;S2E&lt;/a&gt;.  This app allows you to move both &lt;code&gt;/data/data&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;data/dalvik-cache&lt;/code&gt; to your SD Card.  The only prerequisite is that your SD Card must be re-partitioned to add a second Ext2/3/4 partition, after the main FAT32 one.  There are many partition tools available (free and paid) that can do this for you.  I personally use &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.partitionwizard.com/&quot;&gt;PartitionWizard&lt;/a&gt;'s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html&quot;&gt;MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition&lt;/a&gt; (Windows, freeware).  It is also recommended to use a stand-alone USB SD Card reader for repartitioning as opposed to built-in readers on most laptops, since those tend to not properly write partition tables to SD Cards.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;P.S. Don't forget to back up the contents of the SD Card before attempting to re-partition it, since it will wipe all of your data from it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3646" LastEditorUserId="3646" LastEditDate="2011-09-01T02:45:39.957" LastActivityDate="2011-09-01T02:45:39.957" CommentCount="7" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Some ROMs recommend or automatically perform data wipes to eliminate any incompatible data between the two ROMs, but this is normally not an issue for kernels.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How can I see which kernels are compatible with which ROMs?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, any ROM based on stock is normally compatible with any kernel for your device based on a stock kernel from the same Android version.  If you have concerns I would first search the XDA posts for the kernel and the ROM to see if you can find anyone who has used them in combination.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1465" LastEditorUserId="1465" LastEditDate="2015-07-29T23:14:12.230" LastActivityDate="2015-07-29T23:14:12.230" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As with all common batteries, the voltage is not constant while the battery is being discharged.  Assuming your phone was drawing as much power as it could the whole time, the current would be constant; coupled with the fluctuating voltage this means that the energy drain from the battery is not linear.  Essentially this means that the first 1650 mAh drained from a 2000 mAh battery will not comprise proportionally the same energy drain as the last 350 mAh, meaning that the battery capacity affects the battery life in a nonlinear fashion.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For your purposes it should give you a more or less linear boost, however.  It depends how much current your phone draws at any given time but you can expect an &lt;em&gt;approximate&lt;/em&gt; 20% boost in battery life on a full charge.  I would suspect slightly less than 20% due to the tail end of the battery being longer (more charge stored in the battery after the voltage has dropped too low for the phone to use it) but I don't know for sure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1465" LastActivityDate="2011-09-06T01:52:07.850" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

  <row Id="13190" PostTypeId="5" CreationDate="2011-09-07T11:22:56.770" Score="0" Body="&lt;h2&gt;What is a backup?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In information technology, a backup or the process of backing up is making copies of data which may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. In Android, this affects applications, settings and documents.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Which types of backups do we have for Android?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Basically, we can distinguish three types:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Nandroid&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A Nandroid backup (as it's done by e.g. ClockworkMod) basically creates full images of all your device's partitions, without any abstraction. This does not necessarily mean one could not pick single items out of a Nandroid backup, but its not that trivial. If you restore a single partition only (such as &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;), it must fit the other parts of the system. The &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; partition also holds the &lt;code&gt;/data/dalvik-cache&lt;/code&gt;, for example, which consists of the byte-code for all installed apps, optimized for the ROM which created it. If you would restore only the &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; partition from a backup of ROM-X to a device with ROM-Y, those DEX (Dalvik EXecutables) would not fit. Also ROM-Y might use different directory structures for several things, which are not reflected here. As a result, you might have a unstable system (which might not even be able to complete its &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/boot&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;boot&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;boot&lt;/a&gt; process), see apps crashing, and the like.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Doing this would not be such a good idea. So for the average user, a Nandroid restore is rather an all-or-nothing: Either restore it completely, or not at all. Unless you know exactly what you're doing, of course.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;ADB Backups&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Backups created with the &lt;code&gt;adb backup&lt;/code&gt; command are a different case: they are &quot;abstracted&quot;. If you look into such an archive, you will not find the directory structure reflected. Thus, at least in theory, an app backup (including the apps' data) created on ROM-X should restore fine on ROM-Y, as the ADB daemon on the device should take care of what belongs where.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note however that apps can &quot;protect&quot; themselves from participating in such backups, which usually results in 41-byte-files when you backup them separately. If your device is rooted, you can work around that using the &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/xposed-framework&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;xposed-framework&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;xposed-framework&lt;/a&gt; with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.pyler.backupallapps&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Backup All Apps&lt;/a&gt; module. Also uncovered by this backup are your SMS/MMS and, on most devices, your contacts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;App-based backups&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are several apps available for Android that create backups of apps, their data, or both. Some only cover system data available via so-called &quot;data providers&quot; (contacts, call logs, bookmarks, SMS/MMS, and the like). Others can capture/extract the &lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; app installation archives. A few can backup apps, their data, and even system data&amp;mdash;which before Android 4.0 required root permissions. Two of the powerful apps shall be mentioned here:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Titanium Backup&lt;/a&gt; is one of the best-known, most-powerful, and most recommended Backup solutions. It is able to backup apps, their data, data available via data-providers, system data, and more. And it can read (and restore) things from Nandroid and ADB backups as well. But it requires your device to be rooted.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Helium - App Sync and Backup&lt;/a&gt; (previously called &lt;em&gt;Carbon&lt;/em&gt;) creates backups compatible with ADB backups (in fact, it is a front-end to the &lt;code&gt;adb backup&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;adb restore&lt;/code&gt; commands). It can backup apps and their data, plus some other system data and stuff available via some data-providers. More to come, we hope. &lt;em&gt;Helium Backup&lt;/em&gt; does &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; require root.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Related tags&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/adb&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;adb&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;adb&lt;/a&gt;: part of the Android SDK, it provides above described &lt;em&gt;ADB backup&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/backup-manager&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;backup-manager&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;backup-manager&lt;/a&gt;: commandline-tool, part of Google's backup system&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/clockworkmod&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;clockworkmod&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;clockworkmod&lt;/a&gt;: via ClockworkMod one can create/restore Nandroid backups&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/data-recovery&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;data-recovery&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;data-recovery&lt;/a&gt;: recovering lost data you, well, didn't backup in time&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/google-backup&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;google-backup&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;google-backup&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/nandroid&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;nandroid&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;nandroid&lt;/a&gt;: See &lt;em&gt;Nandroid&lt;/em&gt; above.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/restore&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;restore&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;restore&lt;/a&gt;: this is the opposite direction: get your data back from the backups you've created&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/rom-manager&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;rom-manager&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;rom-manager&lt;/a&gt;: an app co-operating with &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/clockworkmod&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;clockworkmod&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;clockworkmod&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/titanium-backup&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;titanium-backup&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;titanium-backup&lt;/a&gt;: as described above.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Related questions on Android Enthusiasts&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/q/28296/16575&quot;&gt;Full Backup of non-rooted devices&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/q/390/16575&quot;&gt;How to backup an Android device?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;ADB Backup specifics&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/q/28481/16575&quot;&gt;How do you extract an App's data from a full backup made through “adb backup”?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/q/23357/16575&quot;&gt;Is there a way to look inside and modify an adb backup created file?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/q/24785/16575&quot;&gt;Partial adb restore&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/q/23362/16575&quot;&gt;Backup and restore Android Settings and Application through ADB&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/q/37570/16575&quot;&gt;Restoring an ADB backup onto a different phone of the same model?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Google Backup specifics&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/q/33916/16575&quot;&gt;How to resume app restore after stopping it on first opening Google Play?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/q/42245/16575&quot;&gt;Google Backup: Multiple devices using the same account - what happens on Restore?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;See also the &lt;a href=&quot;http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/backup?sort=frequent&quot;&gt;most frequented backup questions&lt;/a&gt; for interesting links.

I haven't noticed any significant change in performance. I could take or leave most of the UI changes included in Touchwiz, but there are a few things in the new UI that are very nice. One is that toggles for things like bluetooth, wifi, and auto-rotation are now immediately accessible in the notifications pop-up when you touch the notification tray. Another nice thing is a dedicated screenshot button that appears next to the regular android buttons in the control bar at the bottom. Press it at any time for an instant screenshot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I haven't noticed that any features have been disabled. I don't have a 3G-capable tablet, so I don't know if the &quot;portable wi-fi hotspot&quot; functionality would be affected by the update. But everything else I've tried functions as it did before.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, an unexpected bonus to the upgrade is that Samsung released a bunch of new apps bundled with the new UI, some of which are very useful. The ebooks app especially is nice for me, it reads EPUB and PDF files, and it formats EPUBs better and performs faster than some of the other apps I've tried (like FBReader). There's also an app for making adjustments to photos, and a few others that I haven't really used.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The new TouchWiz UI also includes a handful of mini-apps that can be launched from the android control bar at any time. These apps appear in small windows that float over whatever other apps you're running, and they can be moved around. None of these apps are really awesome, but some are useful. For example, you can bring up a mini-view of your calendar, a small music player, or a note pad you can type into or draw on, without leaving the app you were using before. It's kind of a neat idea, although I'm glad this isn't a standard android feature or there would be way too many apps written this way, and Android would lose a lot of its ease-of-use.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1208" LastActivityDate="2011-09-07T15:44:20.783" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However, some Android phones have additional functions to support HDMI (which results in running Android at a higher resolution).

But this is something that would be highly customized to a single phone as all of the different HDMI implementations seem to vary tremendously. One other option that would be yet another one-off possibility (with some custom work) would be if your phone supports WebTop functionality. If so, perhaps you could tap into this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, there is no third-party app that does what you're wanting.

I think the reason these got conflated to each other is because &lt;code&gt;Fastboot&lt;/code&gt; mode activates by default when you land on HBoot on most (possibly all) HTC phones. They do exist separately, though, as devices without an HBoot menu can still have a fastboot mode. This is definitely a little confusing, though, since what's really happening is that you're getting rebooted into HBoot which is then &lt;em&gt;immediately&lt;/em&gt; loading Fastboot. You should be able to get to the bootloader's main screen by selecting &lt;code&gt;Bootloader&lt;/code&gt; from the Fastboot screen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Essentially, though, HBoot is just a bootloader, which gives you the ability to chain-boot into several other partitions or modes (including fasboot). I say it's not really a &quot;mode&quot; because it doesn't really allow for any interaction, it just loads and waits for you to choose something else from the menu (with one exception, see below).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;HBoot also has the ability to install a properly named and signed zip file if placed on the root of your SD card, which it will attempt to do right after the bootloader has fully loaded. This seems to have been designed as a sort of last-ditch reflash method, and used to be a part of several manual rooting methods on HTC phones (which is now largely unnecessary). The exact naming convention depends on your device, but they're usually of the form &lt;code&gt;PC[some number]IMG.zip&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Fastboot mode is the state your device goes into so that it can accept fastboot commands, which largely deal with manually flashing partitions on the device. Notably, you can flash unsigned partition images when in fastboot. It's handy for recovery purposes, but also useful for development and generally hacking around (depending on what you're doing). You can read a bit about the details of fastboot &lt;a href=&quot;http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your &quot;recovery mode&quot; (or recovery partition) is different from HBoot. It is a separate partition on your device which contains a very basic kernel and GUI that can be used to repair and/or restore your system, with the features varying depending on the exact recovery you are using. Typically a manufacturer will ship their devices with their own &quot;stock&quot; recovery, but there are many custom ones available which are more robust.

It will overwrite the following partitions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;System (the &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt; mountpoint)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Boot (the &lt;code&gt;/boot&lt;/code&gt; mountpoint)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Recovery&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;User data (the &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; mountpoint, this means you lose &lt;strong&gt;all&lt;/strong&gt; of your personal data)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It may update your radio image (if newer)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You use an RUU by simply connecting your phone and running the executable file. I belive HTC Sync may also be required, but I haven't done this in a while.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The reason this unroots your device is sort of twofold, though it depends on your exact configuration. First, the &lt;code&gt;su&lt;/code&gt; binary and Superuser app are typically installed to your System partition when you root. Since this is overwritten with a stock version of the partition, those two things will not be present. This prevents you from making calls to the &lt;code&gt;su&lt;/code&gt; binary which is needed to grant root permissions to an app.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Secondly, the Boot partition has a flag which defines whether or not &lt;code&gt;adbd&lt;/code&gt; (that is, the ADB daemon) runs with root permission, called &lt;code&gt;ro.secure&lt;/code&gt;. The default value for this on a stock boot image is 1, which means that it is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; running as root (so 1 represents &quot;yes, it's secure&quot;). Many custom ROMs set this to 0 so that you can immediately get a root prompt when you use &lt;code&gt;adb shell&lt;/code&gt;, and also so that you can execute privileged commands without the need for a shell (i.e. &lt;code&gt;adb pull&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Per your last question, I don't &lt;em&gt;think&lt;/em&gt; you can run an improper RUU, but I've never tried. It does go through a verification process before the upload, at which point I assume that it checks to ensure that you have the proper device and whatnot. My guess would be that the verification would fail if you tried to use one on a device it was not designed for.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you want more information, I managed to dig up &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.htc.com/uploadedFiles/CA/Product/HTC_Magic_%28Rogers%29/Rogers_HTC_Magic_RUU_Installation_Instructions%282%29.pdf&quot;&gt;a PDF from HTC's site&lt;/a&gt; which outlines how to use an RUU on the HTC Magic (Rogers wireless version). The steps are generally the same for any Android device, though.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also of note, there is an open-source program which is designed to provide the same functionality while being cross platform. It is simply called HTCFlasher, and I have not used it myself. &lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/p/htc-flasher/&quot;&gt;You can find it on Google code&lt;/a&gt; if it's of interest to you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastEditorUserId="981" LastEditDate="2011-09-14T00:32:29.057" LastActivityDate="2011-09-14T00:32:29.057" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Then you need to look for how to update unofficially.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you have a little programming knowledge, and you know about Linux device drivers, you could try to make a custom ROM for the device. Start with an existing ROM project such as Cyanogenmod and port it to your hardware. This will take a lot of effort, there's a risk of bricking your phone, and it might not even be possible for your device (because of lack of drivers). If you still think it's worth a try, ask the developers of the ROM you're starting with where to start. (Note that questions about writing custom ROMs are off-topic on this site.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If there is neither an official update nor a custom ROM, and you don't have the knowledge or free time to port one yourself, then your only other option is to buy a new device.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Official&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, check to see that there is an official update for your device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/181738/16575&quot;&gt;When will my device get the Android 8.0 update (Oreo)?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/139232/1465&quot;&gt;When will my device get the Android 7.0 update (Nougat)?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/110681/&quot;&gt;When will my device get the Android 6.0 update (Marshmallow)?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/102043/&quot;&gt;When will my device get the Android 5.1 update (Lollipop)?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/75684&quot;&gt;When will my device get the Android 5.0 update (Lollipop)?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/56112&quot;&gt;When will my device get the Android 4.4 update (KitKat)?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/49832&quot;&gt;When will my device get the Android 4.3 update (Jelly Bean)?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/32589&quot;&gt;When will my device get the Android 4.2 update (Jelly Bean)?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/24575&quot;&gt;When will my device get the Android 4.1 update (Jelly Bean)?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/14766&quot;&gt;When will my device get the Android 4.0 update (Ice Cream Sandwich)?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/7680&quot;&gt;When will my tablet get the Android 3.x update (Honeycomb)?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/2695&quot;&gt;When will my phone get the Android 2.3 update (Gingerbread)?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/2696&quot;&gt;When will my phone get the Android 2.2 update (FroYo)?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For most devices, you simply go to &lt;code&gt;Settings | About phone | System updates&lt;/code&gt;. If the update is ready for your particular device, it will tell you so. If you're lucky, you won't even need to go that far, as there will be a notification telling you that an update is ready.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that it takes time for carriers and manufacturers to add their customizations to the OS. Just because a new version has been announced doesn't mean it's immediately available for your device. Even when a particular OS update is announced for your device, it is almost always a phased rollout, meaning that it could be days or weeks from the official release for it to be available for you. (Very often the update file is made available for savvy users to update manually.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some device manufacturers/carriers have slightly, or grossly, different ways of distributing updates. Samsung, for instance, is &lt;em&gt;notorious&lt;/em&gt; for requiring users to use their Kies software.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/181&quot;&gt;How do I upgrade firmware on my Samsung Galaxy S without using windows?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/3379/what-can-you-do-with-samsung-kies-for-android-phones&quot;&gt;What can you do with Samsung Kies for Android phones?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Unofficial&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If there is no official update for your device, you either need to wait for one (if one will be made) or install a custom ROM. There is a vibrant mod community that works very hard to make new OS updates available for old devices and devices where the manufacturer/carrier is very slow to do their customizations.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Rooting and flashing ROMs to your device is too large a topic to be covered in this post.

I've tried to turn this off myself in the past, but the Android OS is such that you will receive a force close vibration no matter what. Now, regarding your application actually force closing, here are my two best guesses (since I can't see any of your code):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You are trying to use a feature that requires documentation in the manifest file.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You are overburdening the UI stack by not threading processes that take a long time to accomplish (i.e. contacting a server and receiving data, handling remote data, etc.), which can be solved with &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;AsyncTasks&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, if you are getting frequent force close errors, please use DDMS. It's an absolute God send for this kind of stuff. I know a lot of people who just try to &quot;figure out&quot; where they went wrong. Debugging is a skill in its own right.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sorry I couldn't directly answer your question. I instead tried to pinpoint where else you may be going wrong with your applications, which, to me, would seem to be a bigger issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EDIT:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To show you how I arrived at this conclusion:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I firstly tried to look through all settings (including my Galaxy S manual), and obviously no cigar.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I noticed that there are two classes that a developer must look into to at least see if this vibration can be turned off programatically (for your specific program). These classes are the &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Notification&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Vibrator.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Vibrator&lt;/a&gt; classes. Upon inspection, you can see that there's nothing within these classes that will allow you to do that. It's a system property. Realizing that you must put in a &quot;vibration&quot; intent into the manifest in order to even manipulate the vibration should further prove this point:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;    &amp;lt;uses-permission android:name=&quot;android.permission.VIBRATE&quot;/&amp;gt;&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I wasn't really prepared to mess around with the actual Android low-level code so I brought the issue up with my friend (who has been messing around with the actual Android kernel and OS itself for a while) in order to validate my suspicion. He said that this property was built in. In other words, you would have to override the property within the OS itself in order to change the force close vibration.

Depending on the attempt results come back with &lt;strong&gt;packet loss of anything from 100% to 0%,&lt;/strong&gt; usually one or the other, but something around 20% or 60% happens quite often too. This happens with all the devices on network, including the gateway. Other devices can ping each other just fine, independent of connection type (Wi-Fi or Ethernet wire).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;There are also some other wlan problems with one (but only one!) of the computers:&lt;/em&gt; 1) It has some random touble connecting to the wlan (authentication failure), but when it gets a connection it stays connected without connection issues. 2) Sometimes ping results show some random packets with weirdly long latency, and occasional lost packet (&amp;lt;2% if even that). This would point to trouble with the Wi-Fi settings. However, the packet loss doesn't appear parallel: The Android can get packet loss while the computer at the same time reports perfect ping.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Android device &lt;strong&gt;always gets a connection, and stays connected&lt;/strong&gt; to the Wi-Fi even when it's getting 100% packet loss.

First off, I have a Samsung Infuse 4G with AT&amp;amp;T. I was able to lock onto satellites indoors pretty quickly before. So I rooted my phone with SuperOneClick last night, and everything was good. No problems. However, I was having trouble replacing my recovery file with a modified recovery file. So after some research, I came across Odin on XDA Developers(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021&amp;amp;page=8), that was supposed to do exactly what I wanted: Flash me to a stock ROM with root and modified recovery. It was a successful flash, except for one little problem. Any application that used the GPS hardware would fail to initialize. So &quot;luckily&quot; for me, the thread I flashed to root+modified recovery also had a 100% stock ROM to flash my hardware with, so I did that. However, I had the same issue still of not being able to run GPS dependent programs. So I did a manufacturer's reset, and now every application will initialize and run, however I can't LOCK into satellites now! I've tried using GPS status to clear and download AGPS data with no luck. I've tried several different supl servers, including google and nokia, no luck.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know this is my fault, but can somebody help me out of this mess? The only sort of location that works on my phone is mobile/wifi location.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance for any help I get.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Edit: It appears that even though I flashed a 100% stock rom to my device, there are GPS locking issues with the rom.

Doing so would allow you to backup your stock ROM and restore it in perfect condition.  Via Odin you can also flash a stock firmware image, completely obliterating any trace of rooting.  This also might not be perfect, depending on where you get the firmware image &amp;mdash; some of them are re-packed OTA updates and so on, and different from any &quot;real&quot; Odin package Samsung might use internally.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem is not with the real data on your phone, though; as noted it's easy to go back to stock and leave no trace of rooting.  There's a counter that gets incremented when you flash your phone with Odin.  It's possible to reset this counter, but that increments &lt;em&gt;another&lt;/em&gt; counter.  Samsung does check this counter sometimes so you should flash with &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager.license&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;ClockworkMOD&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Mobile Odin&lt;/a&gt; to avoid that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you brick your phone, that's certainly your fault and I wouldn't expect help from the carrier/manufacturer.

So far, I've observed the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My BIONIC often refuses to get a 3G data connection back when switching from Wi-Fi or 4G back to 3G. If I switch to Airplane Mode and back, sometimes I'll get the 3G connection back, sometimes I won't. In the About Phone -&gt; Status menu, it says the mobile data network is &quot;connecting.&quot; Sometimes I end up having to reboot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, when attempting to use the phone in CDMA-only mode, the phone seems to decide to drop its 3G connection at random and refuse to get it back - even on reboot the phone is slow to acquire signal. I noticed a similar problem on the DROID Charge.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there any theory as to why this is happening? Do all Verizon's LTE phones share a common chipset model? Because it sounds to me like whoever makes the chipset is doing a real bang-up job of shipping phones with near-defective radios or radio firmware. As it appears to happen across &lt;strong&gt;three different manufacturers&lt;/strong&gt;, the buck falls on Verizon and their LTE chip partner.

Originally, the latter was the &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/external-sd&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;external-sd&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;external-sd&lt;/a&gt;. With more recent devices, it might as well be the &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/internal-sd&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;internal-sd&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;internal-sd&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, there are different methods around today (see also the &quot;historical part&quot; below). Rawly:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;App2SD&lt;/em&gt; as it was introduced to &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/stock-rom&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;stock-rom&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;stock-rom&lt;/a&gt; starting with &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/2.2-froyo&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;2.2-froyo&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;2.2-froyo&lt;/a&gt;. Here an app must explicitly support to be moved (the developer must specify that in the apps &lt;code&gt;Manifest&lt;/code&gt;); it may not feature e.g. any service or widget (as they would break when the SDCard is unmounted/removed), and it may not request to be started right after boot (&lt;code&gt;boot_completed&lt;/code&gt;, as that event is fired before the SDCard becomes available). Moreover, &lt;em&gt;App2SD&lt;/em&gt; won't move the entire app to your SD card but only (major) parts.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;App2SD+&lt;/em&gt; is as described in the historical part below. It requires the SDCard to be partitioned. While Android only offers the first partition found on a SDCard to be mounted to the PC, the second remains available to the device. Thus services and widgets won't break, and almost any app can be moved without explicitly supporting it. A comparable method is used by &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/link2sd&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;link2sd&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;link2sd&lt;/a&gt;. This method is available with some &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/custom-rom&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;custom-rom&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;custom-rom&lt;/a&gt;s&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/link2sd&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;link2sd&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;link2sd&lt;/a&gt; also uses a second partition on the SDCard. Other than above methods (which still leave parts of the apps in internal storage), &lt;em&gt;Link2SD&lt;/em&gt; moves the complete app to the SDCard, and symlinks it to its original place on internal storage -- thus fooling the system into thinking it would still be there.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Extended methods&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While above methods can be used to move the &lt;em&gt;app&lt;/em&gt;, not all of them move data or the Dalvik executables (DEX, see &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/odex&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;odex&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;odex&lt;/a&gt;). So if your device is rooted, and your internal storage very limited, you might be interested in e.g. &lt;em&gt;Data2SD&lt;/em&gt;, which also moves the apps data (e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rappsd.v1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Data2SD&lt;/a&gt;, which uses an &quot;embedded &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/ext2&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;ext2&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;ext2&lt;/a&gt; partition&quot; for this issue – but was not updated since 2011). Then there's also &lt;em&gt;Simple2Ext&lt;/em&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.krikun.s2e&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;S2E&lt;/a&gt;), moving app, data, and some cache. Or &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;DirectoryBind&lt;/a&gt; to move selected directories to SDcard. And there might be more I'm not even aware of...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Why can't I move  with App2SD?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are certain conditions to be met to make an app &quot;movable&quot;. If an app provides some service or widgets, or wants to be started directly after boot, it cannot go to an external SDCard, for example: the card is only mounted &lt;em&gt;after&lt;/em&gt; &lt;code&gt;boot_completed&lt;/code&gt; (which would prevent auto-start), and it might be removed (which would break services and widgets). There are several more exceptions, plus finally the developer must explicitly mark the app &quot;movable&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So much in &quot;easy terms&quot;. If you are interested in details, please refer to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/install-location.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;corresponding API guide page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Some history from the beginnings in CyanogenMod&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Apps2SD&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;The CyanogenMod wiki&lt;/a&gt; has some good information about Apps2SD.  In CM5 and earlier, the term referred to what is now called Apps2EXT, which required  partitioning your SD card to have a secondary EXT partition.  This was used to trick the Android system into thinking that apps were on the main storage rather than the SD card, allowing you to move any app to SD.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In CM6+, the term refers to the method where app preferences are ignored and apps can be moved to the SD card even if their default is for the internal storage.  Certain apps, such as those that run services, cannot be moved to the SD card; this is because the system starts services before the SD card is initialized, and some services need to run even when the SD card is removed from the system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's also an app called &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;App 2 SD&lt;/a&gt; you can use for moving apps via Apps2SD.

I woudn't say the quality is &lt;em&gt;poor&lt;/em&gt;, but bad enough for me to investigate the issue. While it probably is audible all the time in some way, it's not easy to pinpoint - I can only notice the difference in some music passages. Unfortunately it's usually most audible in the passages with most impact, where it also bothers the most. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As audio quality issues are notoriously subjective, I did wonder whether I'm just imagining the effect or not. Turns out, I'm not - I haven't done any blind testing or anything, but comparing the same file A2DP streamed from my computer to the one streamed from Android (and for control doing the same comparison with wire-plugged headphones) it's easy to spot the difference.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Doing a bit of research into the issue, it seems A2DP can be used to stream audio into bluetooth receiver with multiple different codecs and setting. As far as I've understood the discussions related to this, it looks like this could be either caused because Android is using &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520141&quot;&gt;SBC codec instead of MP3&lt;/a&gt; or because it &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9281971&amp;amp;postcount=19&quot;&gt;fails to use high enough bitpool setting&lt;/a&gt;.

In short, don't do anything unless you really know what you're doing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="482" LastEditorUserId="482" LastEditDate="2011-09-24T16:59:42.597" LastActivityDate="2011-09-24T16:59:42.597" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The idea is that if you don't need to be notified the instant that you receive a message via the internet, your mobile data doesn't need to be on all the time. Juice Defender (among other things) will disable your mobile internet, and then re-enable it at a specified interval so that your phone will check for new notifications. It does not affect text messages and phone calls. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Woofi uses your network location as a basis to disable and enable wifi, so that you only have your wifi antenna turned on when you are somewhere you can use it.

I've tried out all your recommendations and in the interests of others, I'm going to document what I did:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, for unrooted users. If you don't have &lt;a href=&quot;http://tasker.dinglisch.net/download.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Tasker&lt;/a&gt;, get it - it's the most powerful task automation tool for Android, though somewhat aimed at power users. There's no free version(15 day trial) but it's worth every penny. (It's a little cheaper when bought direct from the developer instead of from the Market). I have already set Tasker to kill wifi and disable autosync when I enter my office. Now in addition, I've created a profile to turn off the data connection(EDGE/3G) when the screen is blank.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Next for rooted users - and this is where I see the most drastic power saving - by underclocking the CPU. &#xA;I am using 2.3.5 and have experimented with 2 kernels - DarkyROM's &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/rom-cwm-sgs2-2-3-5-darkyrom2-xxki3-base.5710/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;SuperCore 2.0&lt;/a&gt; and Hacre's &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179814&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Ninphetamine&lt;/a&gt;. The latter is a high performance kernel with voltage regulation features (SuperCore doesn't support changing voltages). &#xA;I've installed &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.setcpu.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;SetCPU&lt;/a&gt;, and set it to downclock from 1200 MHz to 800, and reduce the CPU voltage to 975 mV (at 800 MHz, lowering further will cause problems). I've also set it to further reduce the clock to 500 MHz when the screen is off. By doing this, I got a boost of nearly 4 hours in battery backup.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Looking at this, I wonder why Samsung doesn't do the same thing in the 'power saving' mode that is available by default; not everybody would want to/be able to experiment with rooting their phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, about syncing apps and email - I turn off autosync while I'm in office, and at other times I use the built in mail client to sync my gmail every hour. My office Exchange mail is sync disabled while I'm in office, and set to push mail at other times.

Shortly thereafter, I then get a notification (ding #2), and then 2-3 text messages (dings #4-5) on the HTC Sense texting app widget, from myself via my carrier's phone number (that is, the non-Google number). As you can imagine, it is incredibly irritating.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Background: Looking into the Voicemail settings on the phone, and the Visual Voicemail settings, I don't have anything enabled to cause this behavior (I am not signed up for the latter service, and the trial hasn't even been configured). Google Voice isn't to blame for these text messages; they are set up to only push to gmail. The texting app itself is of no use in terms of finding out where it is getting these notifications from; it says it's from my carrier's number, but nothing else.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please let me know any suggestions you have to:&#xA; - diagnose the source of the 2-3 text messages; they are the truly aggravating &quot;feature&quot; of this problem. I am not sure if this is caused at the carrier, hardware, or software level.&#xA; - turn off the notification (sound) for the 2-3 text messages, or to disable the texts from myself entirely. As you might expect, I still want to receive notifications for other text messages, so muting the app wholesale is not an option.

That is because incoming SMS are propagated by the system with an so called intent broadcast. Every app can register for this SMS intent. So if you install a second SMS app, both apps, including the stock app, will receive the SMS (via the intent) and put it in their inbox. Apps can also abort the intent broadcast, which is exactly what the &quot;block duplicate messages&quot; option in GoSMS and Handcent does. But then no other app that wants these intents is able to receive them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="440" LastActivityDate="2011-10-06T08:39:54.897" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I do not want to lose other information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Beyond clearing the media data is there any other steps that I should be using to try and get these songs to display? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It would be nice if in the options it gave a &lt;code&gt;refresh music library&lt;/code&gt; option, other smart phones give this and I would assume Android would also but it is not there! &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note: This issue was not there on the old G2. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="8310" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:32.663" LastActivityDate="2011-12-14T22:50:32.690" Title="Music Player Not Displaying Songs?"

I tried a couple of different apps and services and always saw the warning. After clearing my Media Storage data and unmounting/remounting my SD card I had:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;All of my music still available (after it had a chance to rescan)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;My Google Music account still set up and properly linked&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;My ringtone still set to the correct song on my SD card&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;All other accounts and settings normal&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So basically, everything excepting the actual list of songs on my SD card was retained, and the list was refreshed after I remounted the SD card, as far as I can see.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Other than clearing Media Storage data, the only other thing I've tried to get my music to update is just unmounting and remounting the SD card (or using an app like &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bero.sdrescan&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;SD Rescan&lt;/a&gt; to do it for you, as mentioned in the other question).

This process deletes all user data and user installed apps, so the device looks like it came fresh out of the box. Usually this corresponds to the state it comes in from the factory (hence the name &quot;factory reset&quot;), which sometimes can be a little misleading: A factory reset will not roll back any possibly applied updates to the system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What a &lt;em&gt;factory reset&lt;/em&gt; does is basically to &quot;wipe&quot; (delete all content) from the &lt;code&gt;/cache&lt;/code&gt; (holding the application cache) and &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; (user data and user-installed apps, &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/dalvik&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;dalvik&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;dalvik&lt;/a&gt; cache) partitions.

This would even be available with the device locked and the pattern/PIN/password forgotten.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you cannot figure how to do that with your device, try finding it &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hardreset.info/devices/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;at this site&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Related terms&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/hard-reset&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;hard-reset&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;hard-reset&lt;/a&gt;: this does not intend to delete anything (though some data might be lost, if they were not saved). If you cannot safely shutdown your device, but somehow have to power-off, a &quot;hard reset&quot; takes care of this by cutting off the power supply -- usually by removing the battery or (for devices where it is not removable) pushing the reset switch.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;soft reset: like &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;-&lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt;-&lt;kbd&gt;Delete&lt;/kbd&gt; on your computer, some devices offer a similar key-combination to trigger a shutdown in case the touch-screen is no longer responding&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Some important related Q&amp;amp;As on this site&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/q/6422/16575&quot;&gt;What is hard reset and what is factory reset?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/q/32981/16575&quot;&gt;How can I do factory reset on Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab?&lt;/a&gt; (applies to other devices as well)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/q/7145/16575&quot;&gt;Will resetting my unlocked phone to factory settings lock it again?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/q/18029/16575&quot;&gt;Should i do the factory reset?

The app on your phone uses the phone's sensors to literally &quot;feel&quot; the bump, and it sends that info up to the cloud. The matching algorithm listens to the bumps from phones around the world and pairs up phones that felt the same bump. Then we just route information between the two phones in each pair.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Q: No way. What if somebody else bumps at the same time?&#xA;A: Way. We use various techniques to limit the pool of potential matches, including location information and characteristics of the bump event. If you are bumping in a particularly dense area (ex, at a conference), and we cannot resolve a unique match after a single bump, we'll just ask you to bump again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://bu.mp/faq&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://bu.mp/faq&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your phone has some idea of where you are using cell phone cells or wifi networks, the are several applications that use that. GPS would only work outdoors. So using time of the bump and somewhat accurate location provided by either cell phone cells or wifi networks it can see which two phones are bumping.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="8298" LastActivityDate="2011-10-10T10:27:39.680" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Unsurprisingly, they are a way for the man to interact with the machine! This is more of a historical term though. In 21-th century computing, this is more commonly referred to as the UI—User-Interface, which itself can be sub-divided into two main categories: CLI—Command-Line-Interface, and GUI—Graphical-User-Interface.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Dialer codes&quot; are technically defined as &quot;MMI&quot; codes (see ETSI standard 3GPP TS 22.030). MMI codes fall into the CLI category, with the main difference from CLI commands in that MMI codes consist of digits instead of keywords, delimited and enclosed by a given combination of asterisk (&lt;code&gt;*&lt;/code&gt;) and hash (&lt;code&gt;#&lt;/code&gt;) characters. Some of these digit and character combinations are standardized and some are not.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;MMI codes can be divided into four main categories.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;SIM&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These are the control codes that operate on the Subscriber Identity Module. For example, the sequence &lt;code&gt;**04*1234*6789*6789#&lt;/code&gt; will change the PIN code from 1234 to 6789. The &lt;em&gt;man&lt;/em&gt; (user) needs to press a dedicated key to send the code. Otherwise, no change will be made. This key is usually the dial key. This is equivalent to pressing the Enter keyboard key at a CLI to execute a command.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;SS&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These are the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supplementary_service_codes&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Supplementary Service codes&lt;/a&gt; and they are built into every GSM/UMTS/LTE device and cannot be changed by the network operator. They are used to control, for example, call forwarding or number presentation. The sequence &lt;code&gt;*21*123456789#&lt;/code&gt; would instruct the phone to ask the network to forward all your incoming calls to the number 123456789. But this code is not sent directly to the network. Instead, it is parsed by the phone which then constructs an ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) coded request to the network.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These structured requests are what's being sent to the network operator when you use the GUI of your phone to access the phone settings and make network related changes, such as call forwarding or hide your phone number. These settings are not local to the phone, even though it may appear that way to the user. But this is an abstraction. So you actually have two ways to make such changes. One is using the SS codes directly on the keypad. The second is the GUI approach.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;USSD&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These are &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unstructured_Supplementary_Service_Data&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;Unstructured Supplementary Service Data&quot;&lt;/a&gt; codes and they operate on the network as well. But they are slightly different from SS codes. Namely in that they are &quot;unstructured&quot;. If you enter a code that ends with a hash character and it is not recognized by the MMI parser, then the code will be sent to the network as-is. It then depends on the network if this code is supported. One of the most used cases is a code for pre-paid cards to check your balance. Many networks use something like &lt;code&gt;*#100#&lt;/code&gt;. But it is really the choice of the network operator which code to use as long as it is not already taken.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So entering &lt;code&gt;*20*1234#&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;*21*1234#&lt;/code&gt; would do two completely different things: the first code would be sent as-is to the network for further processing (most likely returning an error), while the second code would be parsed by the phone and a structured request for activation of call forwarding would be sent to the network.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your first mobile phone was a GSM phone, then you may remember that network operators in those days had long lists of both SS and USSD codes for their customers to use in order to make certain changes to their service. The world has changed since those days. A lot! But the codes live on even today, although they have been dressed up into GUI menu options and network operators are now more reluctant to publish any sort of extensive lists of available SS or USSD codes on their network. Technically, I should say USSD, not SS. Because SS codes are common and known already. It's the USSD codes that differ from one operator and country to another. But if you have read this far, you hopefully understand this distinction already.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Manufacturer-defined-MMI&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is the category that &quot;dialer codes&quot;    usually refers to when       phone hackers, enthusiasts, geeks, nerds and    clueless journalists     talk about dialer codes, and &quot;dialer code&quot;    related exploits. As       explained above, there is much more to these    codes &lt;em&gt;(than what       hits the press)&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These codes are specific to a phone manufacturer and phone model. They are built in by the manufacturer to, for example, activate service menus or reset the device. Since these codes are not being sent to the network, the user does not have to press the magic key at the end. They are executed as soon as the last digit or character has been entered, and that character is usually the hash character. The code &lt;code&gt;*#06#&lt;/code&gt; is mandatory for all manufacturers of GSM/UMTS/LTE phones to implement. It shows the devices IMEI (Internatiol Mobile Equipment Identifier).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Beyond that mandatory code, many manufacturers add many more additional codes that are used to invoke hardware tests, to run debug routines, to show hidden system information or enable service menus intended for use by the manufacturer's service personnel.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These &quot;dialer codes&quot; are sometimes referred to as &quot;secret codes&quot;. But if you want to reveal the secret, you need to understand what to look for. There is nothing secretive about the SIM control codes or the SS codes. The USSD codes are really no state secrets either.

Others make only small changes to vanilla Android.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But in general I would say it mostly the theme, skin, UI and the pre-installed apps that differ from ASOP. On the other hand, it is nearly impossible to make a absolute statement.

Certain apps take up quite a large amount of space, Google Maps is an example of this if you use it regularly. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To delete the app data go to settings &gt; Applications &gt; Manage Applications and click on a app name and then click on the All Tab. You may want to click on Menu &gt; Sort by size so it will show you what apps are using the most space from the top of the screen. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To clear the app data click on the app name and then click on the clear data button. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Do this for a couple of apps and the low storage space warning should eventually disappear, you may have to go through quite a few apps though.

Android is generally customized by the manufacturer to some degree; at minimum there needs to be device-specific drivers and so on for Android to work on a particular device.  As Flow notes, customizations may include a custom theme, launcher, and default apps like HTC Sense does.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An AOSP ROM is a ROM based on the Android Open Source Project.  In the purest sense, AOSP refers to unmodified ROMs or code from Google.  The name is often co-opted for custom ROMs that are very close to the original AOSP, since these ROMs still need to be customized; for example, I can't download/compile the Android source code and run it on my Samsung Vibrant without doing a whole lot of customizations.  The name is often abused to refer to ROMs that don't have a custom launcher or many of the other modifications carriers make with Sense, TouchWiz, Motoblur et al., although they may still be themed.  A more accurate name for plain, mostly-unaltered ROMs for non-Google devices is probably &quot;vanilla ROMs&quot;.  (This distinction is part of our tagging policy here; see &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.meta.stackexchange.com/q/852/1465&quot;&gt;this Meta discussion&lt;/a&gt; for more info.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Techncially, stock ROMs are all AOSP ROMs apart from the versions of Android that haven't been released.  Honeycomb ROMs aren't AOSP, but (for example) Gingerbread ROMs are AOSP since the 2.3 source code is available at &lt;a href=&quot;http://source.android.com/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://source.android.com/&lt;/a&gt;.  (That assumes Google hasn't hidden parts of the code and given it to manufacturers secretly.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To further add to the confusion, a &quot;custom ROM&quot; does not refer to customized ROMs in general.  That term specifically refers to ROMs that have been customized by third parties (i.e., not the manufacturers or carriers).  For example, I'm running a custom ROM that is just a re-themed and tweaked stock ROM.  CyanogenMod is another example, and it has many features built from the ground up rather than mere tweaks.  Most AOSP ROMs you'll find for a specific device are stock ROMs that have been customized to remove some of the manufacturer/carrier tweaks and make them closer to the pure AOSP experience.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1465" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-16T15:45:42.510" LastActivityDate="2016-08-17T18:43:31.603" CommentCount="8" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

To move those you'd need the old-school &quot;apps2sd&quot; hack.  The basic idea is to re-partition your SD Card and create a 2nd partition with Ext2/3/4 format.  The contents of /data/ folders are moved to the SD Card's Ext partition and the phone's internal memory is therefore freed up.  Then a script is added to Android which mounts this partition at boot time and links /data/app, /data/app-private, /data/data, and /data/dalvik-cache folders to their corresponding locations on the SD Card's Ext partition.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are some apps on the Market that automate this (except re-partitioning the card, which you'll need to do manually.)  Try &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Link2sd&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=ru.krikun.s2e&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Simple2ext&lt;/a&gt; for example.  Of course make sure you have a nandroid backup of your phone before trying anything.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are obvious pros and cons to this method. The pros are the ability to greatly extend the phone's storage for apps, while keeping the internal memory relatively free.  The cons are inability to cleanly un-mount and remove the SD Card (since the apps are mounted on the 2nd partition that the OS isn't aware of,) and possible slow-downs in launching apps depending on the speed of the card.  There SD Card will also be subjected to more wear and tear, since it will be used by the system for reading/writing more than usual.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3646" LastActivityDate="2011-10-18T14:58:58.757" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

They have more of profiles for the type of notifications and sounds that can happen when that profile is enabled. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Supporting multiple users has been discussed before, and I think that it is something that is needed as well. If I buy a tablet, and set it up for my email, calendar, etc. I don't want that device to be a community device. Which would mean that multiple tablets would be needed in a family household.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A problem with being able to support multiple users is the space required. If each user had their own settings, then the /data/data would have to be much larger to support these extra users. But not only settings, it would have to support all the apps installed by the user too, so /data would have to be much larger too. You couldn't use the same apps between users, because the paid apps are tied to the account that bought them. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think this will eventually happen, but much larger storage would be needed for the devices. As it is, my device consistently fills the /data/cache and I have to clear that out because of the number of apps I have installed. Now just imagine have 2 (or more users) using the same device. And where do you set the limit on the number of users that can use one device? There are 2 adults and 3 teenagers in my household.

Depending on how many home screens and what widgets and types of widgets, folders etc you have on your homescreen it will determine the amount of memory your home screen requires and how long it takes to refresh it when it rotates between landscape and portrait and thus how quick it does it. The iPhone doesn't have widgets (the main cause) and thus it is quicker at doing this. Due to some widgets HTC Sense actually locks the home screen in portrait mode and doesn't allow you to change it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Currently I am using Go Laucher where i have experienced what you say - the home screen refreshing on orientation, however as stated you can speed this up by removing widgets, especially any scrollable ones. Try setting up one of your home screens as blank, and then see how much faster it will switch between the two states. The only time I have sensitivity options and more than just portrait, landscape or auto for the home screen is on a cyanogen rom. However you would be looking at rooting.

The only exception is the Nexus line of phones that are supported by Google directly.  As it stands, AOSP cannot be built for any non-Google device without major work.  Even though manufacturers and carriers are required to provide the source code, it is true only for the part of the OS.  They don't have to (and rarely do) provide sources for the proprietary drivers, which are necessary to build a completely working Android version for a given device.  The community developers usually use the drivers from older OS versions, which greatly limits the upgrade potential.  The drivers sometimes are reverse-engineered which gives a greater flexibility to developers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There also is an issue of locked down bootloaders on most new Android phones and tablets, which limits the extent of the changes a custom ROM can bring.  Most manufacturers and carriers lock bootloaders to prevent people from &quot;bricking&quot; their devices.  There are ways to unlock/bypass such locks for many devices though.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Bottom line is that if you are looking for a device that will be supported the longest - your best choice is a Nexus line.

Locking on to a GPS involves numerically&#xA;  solving a 4-dimensional set of linear equations -- 3 dimensions in&#xA;  space, and time. (Yes, you get accurate time for free if you lock on&#xA;  to GPS.) Because of the way GPS works, this can take a few minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;This goes much faster if you already have an estimate of your&#xA;  location. This is why &quot;aGPS&quot; (assisted GPS) services are so popular:&#xA;  by starting with a rough city-level coordinate fix through something&#xA;  like cell-tower network location, you can reduce the amount of math&#xA;  you have to do to lock on. This is where the barometer comes in.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The 3 dimensions in space are latitude, longitude... and altitude. The&#xA;  barometer gives you a reasonable first-cut estimate for altitude. This&#xA;  gives you a bit of a leg up on one of the dimensions -- especially&#xA;  combined with &quot;2D&quot; aGPS -- which can help speed up lock-on in general.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Now of course, the barometer can also be used for things like, well,&#xA;  determining atmospheric pressure (although I'm not sure it's really&#xA;  weather grade.) But the main reason it's in your phone is to help with&#xA;  GPS.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="156" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-05-23T12:40:31.367" LastActivityDate="2014-06-06T13:50:41.203" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Let's make some assumptions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Your phone takes 2 hours to charge when off.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Your phone always uses constant power when on.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Your phone drains a full battery in 8 hours.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Charging and discharging is completely linear.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So if you plug your phone in when it's completely drained and turn it on, it will be charged to 75% (100% - 2/8) after two hours.  It'll take 3 hours and 20 minutes to charge fully.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As illustrated above it will take longer to charge the battery when the battery's being drained at the same time.  Obviously, none of the assumptions hold in real life, but it's more or less accurate.  Certainly it will charge the fastest when off.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for the question of CPU scaling, that's very interesting.  The rate of battery drain affects the maximum rate of charge, so less CPU work means less drain and a faster charge.  I'm not totally convinced that underclocking the CPU will achieve this, though.  If your phone is idle it should already be doing a negligible amount of work.  Slowing the CPU will make that little amount of work use the CPU for longer.  It's almost certainly chipset-dependent whether 100 ms at 100 MHz take more or less energy than 10 ms at 1000 MHz, for example.  If SetCPU is altering the voltages as well, that further complicates things.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1465" LastActivityDate="2011-10-31T18:42:52.127" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Clicking the icon created by B should bring up a list of the popular books that I can then select from.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second way:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get an app &quot;C&quot; that can create shortcuts to individual files and put them &lt;em&gt;in the file system&lt;/em&gt;, like (for example) Windows can - in Windows Explorer, I can right click on any file and choose &quot;Create Shortcut&quot;, and the shortcut appears right there next to the file, not on the desktop.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Get an app &quot;D&quot; that can create shortcuts to folders in the file system, and puts the shortcuts on the homescreen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Use C to create shortcuts to all the popular books in the file system, move them all to a single folder in the file system, then use D to create a shortcut to that folder on the home screen. Clicking the shortcut created by D should open the folder, which contains links to the popular books (this, presumably, does not have the same space issues as having two copies of every popular book).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, here are my questions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Are there any other approaches you can think of to doing this?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Do you have any recommendations for apps that would fill the role of B or C?

If each user had their own settings, then the /data/data would have to be much larger to support these extra users.

You couldn't use the same apps between users, because the paid apps are tied to the account that bought them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think this will eventually happen, but much larger storage would be needed for the devices.

Some of those companies have come out with plans to update their phones to 4.0.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ZTE has not announced (&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.in.msn.com/technology/article.aspx?cp-documentid=5527145&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;as of a couple weeks ago&lt;/a&gt;) any plans to upgrade their phones to 4.0 but there's no doubts they won't. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The second option is to wait until Google releases the code for 4.0.

The Tier 2 person looked up the issue in their system and said it was a known bug and that HTC is requesting all people with the bug not do a factory reset but instead call their tech support at 866-449-8358. I called them and they told me a fix (via OTA update) has been released and will upgrade the Android version to 4.08.605.2 (I currently have 4.06.605.3). Last night my phone did try to do another OTA update, but after restarting it complained that it could not install it due to low memory. The HTC rep told me to remove applications from the phone until the low memory warning went away, then dial the following number to force the phone to check for system updates (it normally only does it once a week or so):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;*#*#2432546#*#*&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I did this and still haven't received notification of a system update, but hopefully within a week I'll get pushed the new version...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit 4&lt;/strong&gt;: Called again (both HTC and Verizon) to see if there was any other way to force the update again, but they told me all I could do is try a factory reset.

A relevant excerpt:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A task is a cohesive unit that can move to the &quot;background&quot; when users&#xA;  begin a new task or go to the Home screen, via the HOME key. While in&#xA;  the background, all the activities in the task are stopped, but the&#xA;  back stack for the task remains intact—the task has simply lost focus&#xA;  while another task takes place, as shown in figure 2. A task can then&#xA;  return to the &quot;foreground&quot; so users can pick up where they left off.&#xA;  Suppose, for example, that the current task (Task A) has three&#xA;  activities in its stack—two under the current activity. The user&#xA;  presses the HOME key, then starts a new application from the&#xA;  application launcher. When the Home screen appears, Task A goes into&#xA;  the background. When the new application starts, the system starts a&#xA;  task for that application (Task B) with its own stack of activities.&#xA;  After interacting with that application, the user returns Home again&#xA;  and selects the application that originally started Task A. Now, Task&#xA;  A comes to the foreground—all three activities in its stack are intact&#xA;  and the activity at the top of the stack resumes. At this point, the&#xA;  user can also switch back to Task B by going Home and selecting the&#xA;  application icon that started that task (or by touching and holding&#xA;  the HOME key to reveal recent tasks and selecting one). This is an&#xA;  example of multitasking on Android.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Note: Multiple tasks can be held in the background at once. However,&#xA;  if the user is running many background tasks at the same time, the&#xA;  system might begin destroying background activities in order to&#xA;  recover memory, causing the activity states to be lost. See the&#xA;  following section about Activity state.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summary&lt;/strong&gt;: The task is moved to the background when you press &lt;code&gt;Home&lt;/code&gt; and sits in memory, not really doing anything and retaining its state. This means that (generally speaking) you can switch back to the task and it will pick up where it left off. However, the Android system can - and will - kill background tasks if it needs to reclaim memory. When and if this happens is entirely up to the system, and is probably why you see inconsistent behavior when resuming.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the task is destroyed by the system, it will have to be re-created when you launch it again. So unless the application author has taken measures to save the application's state during the destroy process, it will be lost (and saving &lt;em&gt;exact&lt;/em&gt; state in things like games is fairly impractical).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another good (but also verbose) document is the one covering the &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/activities.html#Lifecycle&quot;&gt;Activity Lifecycle&lt;/a&gt; (there's a nice flowchart if you scroll down a bit).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastEditorUserId="981" LastEditDate="2011-11-16T15:19:49.173" LastActivityDate="2011-11-16T15:19:49.173" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If I could just see a list of apps and what memory and CPU percentage each is using I'd have a better idea whether to wait or kill the app.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;BTW I do not like the Android Wait/Force Close dialog since it usually comes up prematurely.

If that is the case here, you can perform an operation to return the phone back to its stock state.  In the case of the Droid X, this would be referred to as SBF.  An SBF file is used with a corresponding piece of software (like RSDLite for windows or sbf_flash in Linux) to completely reset the phone.

Another alternative is to allow the driver to take care of AP scanning and selection and use wpa_supplicant just to process EAPOL frames based on IEEE 802.11 association information from the driver.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is controlled by setting the &lt;code&gt;ap_scan&lt;/code&gt; variable in the in-use configuration file, &lt;code&gt;/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf&lt;/code&gt;.

Considered how often the battery is finished before the day is ended, you probably already do so often enough :) For a sum-up about calibration questions, please refer to &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/50469/16575&quot;&gt;Looking for a consistent answer about battery calibration&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;See also: &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/33704/16575&quot; title=&quot;How frequently is it okay to let the battery discharge fully or as low as possible?

So that's why I created some questions here (community wikis now) to hopefully help point some users in the right direction with some of the more &quot;technical&quot; details of Android (rooting/roms):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/1184/how-do-i-root-my-device&quot;&gt;How do I root my device&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/1/ive-rooted-my-phone-now-what-what-do-i-gain-from-rooting&quot;&gt;I've rooted my phone, now what?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm also an Android developer so I get to see both perspectives as both a user and a developer. I've invested some time in &lt;a href=&quot;http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=user:396%20%5Bandroid%5D&quot;&gt;answering Android specific questions over on StackOverflow&lt;/a&gt; (I even did this such that I could add a link to Android.SE in the Android tag wiki as I felt that was a relevant cause). I've also had some participation over at &lt;a href=&quot;http://gamedev.stackexchange.com/search?q=user:47%20%5Bandroid%5D&quot;&gt;GameDev&lt;/a&gt; (mostly for Android too). You can also ocassionally see me on &lt;a href=&quot;http://reddit.com/r/android&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://reddit.com/r/android&lt;/a&gt;, a site I check daily to stay on top of Android news. I also own a small plethora of Android devices that I'm pretty comfortable with (Droid1, NookColor, Xoom, G1).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I firmly believe that a community should be able to democratically moderate itself, which the StackExchange platform was perfectly designed for (question/answer scores, voting to close, flagging, etc.). It is those few and rare times that one such as myself need to step in and intervene with the odd exception (and it really has been a rare occasion in this fantastic community). It has been my job to take care of the issues you bring up on meta.Android.SE and through flags and I hope to continue to do so. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the past year, we, together, have been able to successfully control our &quot;question smells&quot; (what is your favorite X?, is there an app that does Y?, dev questions, speculations, etc.), guide new users to the right place (whether helping them ask questions here or pointing them to the Android tag on StackOverflow), solve &quot;tags&quot; and their naming, synonyms, wikis, etc., and overall improve the quality of our questions and answers while discarding the bad. We still have some improvements to make (especially in growth, both overall and in our higher reputation users) but I feel that everyone working together can get us there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And no matter what, I will still continue to help those in the Android community with questions that need to be answered!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="10" LastEditorUserId="10" LastEditDate="2011-11-29T06:29:53.173" LastActivityDate="2011-11-29T06:29:53.173" CommentCount="0" CommunityOwnedDate="2011-11-29T06:29:53.173" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is likely the scenario you read about with regard to an &quot;Android OS card&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Nook Tablet is quite similar to the Nook Color, but has been modified from the earlier device to have a locked bootloader that will only load a ROM signed by Barnes &amp;amp; Noble.  While it is still possible to gain root permission on this device, it is not (yet) possible to load a customer ROM.  Due to this, you may not boot the unit to an alternative ROM stored on the SD card.  You can, however, install the Amazon AppStore, Google Market, GMail, and other apps to get more utility from this tablet.

However, since it doesn't really explain &lt;em&gt;how&lt;/em&gt; you manage access to the root user, I'll expand on that here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you root your device, you basically always (technically I suppose you don't have to, but you should) install the &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Superuser&lt;/a&gt; application along with the &lt;code&gt;su&lt;/code&gt; binary. Superuser's sole purpose is to manage which applications are permitted to elevate to root and which are not. The default behavior is that Superuser will prompt you whenever a new app tries to execute a call to &lt;code&gt;su&lt;/code&gt;, and you can then allow or deny it using the prompt. It can save your decisions so that you won't get prompted more than once for the same app, but you can erase this saved data from the Superuser settings page. It also provides a log viewer which keeps track of when &lt;code&gt;su&lt;/code&gt; is accessed and by which applications.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, the tricky part is that many of the newer malicious apps will actually perform an exploit to gain root access rather than simply trying to make a call to &lt;code&gt;su&lt;/code&gt;. There's really not much you can do about these aside from being careful about what you install and where you install apps from since they aren't even using &lt;code&gt;su&lt;/code&gt; to begin with. However - to directly answer your question - apps which require legitimate root access can be easily managed by Superuser as explained above.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you are rooted but don't already have Superuser then you should be able to simply install it from the Market, I believe.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:23.713" LastActivityDate="2011-12-06T22:27:10.960" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You could also put it on your SD card and then move it with a file manager.

In modern rooting methods (which is basically every rooting methods except for the earliest ones), there is an application called &quot;Superuser&quot; which is used to manage applications which are allowed to gain root access.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Since Android is a Linux, I'm interested in having access to a&#xA;  terminal and some unix utilities (ssh, rsync, etc). I don't mind&#xA;  having to use a bluetooth keyboard and vi (to edit /etc/hosts for&#xA;  example) if needed. Is this possible? Can I have a terminal with a lot&#xA;  of unix utilities (I know busybox is available)?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes, a shell exists (but it's not the bash shell). You may need to install Terminal Emulator to access it (some custom ROM installs it by default) or use it as a remote shell using ADB. Because it doesn't use bash, the terminal will be slightly different from what you're used to seeing in regular Linux distros (notably it doesn't have autocompletion) and most shell commands that you consider &quot;standard&quot; does not exist or only exists in extremely barebone form.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're using the terminal a lot, it is possible to install busybox and bash for a more familiar terminal experience; you can also install GNU userspace utilities, but you'll need a fairly high-end phone with heaps of disk space for it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In short, what you want is possible; although a lot of the tools aren't installed by default on manufacturer ROMs. It takes a fair bit of work to install all those tools yourself, the easiest and fastest route is to install a custom ROM that provides those tools like CyanogenMod.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If Android is essentially a Linux&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Android uses Linux kernel, but it is not a GNU/Linux and does not use the typical GNU userspace programs. Instead it uses the toolbox userspace, which is a very minimalist userspace (even smaller than busybox, toolbox doesn't even have a cp, you have to use cat instead to copy files). Some custom Android ROMs installs busybox by default.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;to backup my device, shouldn't I just be able to connect to root it,&#xA;  do a full tar -cvzf / and them a scp to somewhere?

Most people, even power users, don't like typing complex commands on the small keyboard or having to connect an external keyboard every time they want to backup (and 99% of the world has a Terminal-phobia).

Not sure if it's the carrier or the manufacturer or what but I'm basically being told &quot;no&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is it because the phone isn't rooted? My workplace actually has a policy against that so I haven't done it. If not, does anyone have idea what I'm doing wrong?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3101" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:29.220" LastActivityDate="2013-09-01T16:30:56.463" Title="Reverse Tethering won't work for me - is it because my phone isn't rooted?"

Sometimes it will mean flashing a new bootloader, a new recovery (this is becoming common) or temporarily booting from an image over USB, in order to gain recovery access to the system partiton.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the Nexus range of phones, and the development phones that were released by Google, it is as simple as running &quot;fastboot oem unlock&quot;, though this will wipe the phone. Also, bowing to pressure from the development community, many manufacturers now offer an official route to unlocking the bootloader. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Installing the root binaries.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once the system partition has been cracked then the rest is fairly straight-forward. It basically means installing the 'su' binary (this escalates to super user permissions), and an apk which provides an Android front end to 'su', and prompts the user when an app is requesting root permission. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are several approaches to this second stage. The most common has been to use a pre-rooted ROM provided by the community. There is often a choice, from the stock ROM provided by the manufacturer and then tinkered with to add the binaries, through to a whole range of AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROMs, such as CyanogenMod (one which I contribute to). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are some other methods. For example, some phones (eg Galaxy Nexus) can use a &quot;superboot&quot; bootloader, which tinkers with your existing ROM as bard of the boot process.

Even if they do go to another person's house or try to get on another network, they will be unable to browse (especially if you are hosting the proxy server yourself on your own network; in that case, they most likely won't be able to browse to anything at all).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or&#xA;  an application) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients&#xA;  seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy&#xA;  server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page,&#xA;  or other resource available from a different server. The proxy server&#xA;  evaluates the request according to its filtering rules. For example,&#xA;  it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is&#xA;  validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting&#xA;  to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf of the&#xA;  client. A proxy server may optionally alter the client's request or&#xA;  the server's response, and sometimes it may serve the request without&#xA;  contacting the specified server. In this case, it 'caches' responses&#xA;  from the remote server, and returns subsequent requests for the same&#xA;  content directly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="9160" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:30.453" LastActivityDate="2011-12-12T21:36:31.663" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Why?  Let me explain how the Android OS works.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unlike normal OSes, Android does not actually let you &quot;close&quot; an application.  You can leave the application, but that doesn't mean it has &quot;closed&quot; or &quot;killed&quot; it. This is because of multi-tasking: when you leave an application, you can come back to it as you were previously.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Instead, the Android OS handles the &quot;killing&quot; or &quot;closing&quot; of applications for you.  It keeps track of a) how much free memory there is and b) how long it has been since you've opened that app.  When memory is running low, Android will garbage collect and kill any unused applications.  Android's OS task killer is very smart and can handle these situations far better than an Android Task Killer app that just kills apps left and right without any &quot;logic&quot; behind it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, when you leave an application via back button or home, this doesn't mean the app is necessarily still running, just that it remains in memory. The only time an app will run is a) it is in the foreground or b) it has a background service.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In your case, it sounds like you are trying to kill background services. When you do so, the app will just go &quot;oh hey, my background service is running any more, let's start it back up!&quot;  And you will then be playing a game of whack-a-mole.  You'll be wasting resources and battery life because applications will be re-starting themselves.  And if an application was writing to disk (your SD card) at the time you killed it, then you could end up with corrupted files and other issues.  Rare, but it could happen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only need for a task killer is to stop an erroneous application in one-time situations.  That's what force stop is for. You shouldn't need to force stop every X min.  ONY when the app is misbehaving in rare occasions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you don't want all those apps running background services, check to see if they have settings to disable them.  Look for things such as disabling background notifications or other &quot;polling&quot; for information/updates.  Otherwise, uninstall the app.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can find even more info over here in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/cwovf/in_light_of_all_the_discussions_right_now_about/&quot;&gt;this thread&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/cwhm6/i_stopped_using_a_task_killer_last_week_to_see_if/&quot;&gt;this thread&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="10" LastActivityDate="2011-12-14T14:58:39.013" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Recent versions of Unrevoked do this automatically, but depending on where you downloaded from and when could affect that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To check if you're S-OFF, reboot into the bootloader (aka HBOOT).  To do that, power off the phone, then hold down the volume down button and power it up.

It would seem that you can obtain Google books in either ePub or PDF (&lt;a href=&quot;http://books.google.com/help/ebooks/content.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;more information here&lt;/a&gt;). Amazon books are in the AZW format.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;This comes down to personal preference. I have read books on both Google Books and Kindle on my Xoom; I see little to no difference in quality. Both can sync to my phone to keep my place. Since you have a Kindle Fire, perhaps sticking in the Amazon ecosystem would be a good idea, since you may wish to un-root in the future.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;There are a lot of PDF readers; just recently the Kindle software was updated to read PDFs. I personally use ezPDF Pro for PDF files because of speed and its ability to remember my location in PDF files from read to read.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;This again, would be personal preference; however I have loaded Mobi into the Kindle app without problems.  The book acted like any other I had in regards to reading (except it did not sync across devices and had to be manually uploaded to each of them).

I also have been told that some of these were removed from the market since they were paid apps that were copied from open source emulators. I have no idea about the legality of the use of emulators. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since some of the APKs are not available via Market you'll need to install a file manager and allow the android system to install apps that are not from the market. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I really can't find the direct links to the emulators, but here it is their websites:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gameboid.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Gameboy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/p/n64oid/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;N64oid&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bslapps.snes&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;SNES A.

The company has begun pushing out an update for the $199 tablet that breaks the root, disabling the SuperOneClick utility in the process. If you've rooted your tablet and are still running a version of the Amazon-flavored Gingerbread, you're susceptible to the update any time you're connected to a WiFi network. However, if you've already made the leap to another version of Android, such as CM7, you can bypass this and any future software updates.

The reason is simple: memory usage. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here is the breakdown:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When the system is running out of memory, the inbuilt task killer of the system automatically kicks in and checks to see if it can stop an application and recover some RAM. HTC Sense devices employ a launcher that is &quot;heavy&quot; and often uses up a lot of memory so when the task killer sees you are not using your launcher and knows it needs the RAM for another app, it kills the launcher. Thus, when you hit the home button or quit the app, the launcher has to re-initialize.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Tips:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;DO NOT use a task-killer if you dont have a low end device. Android already has a built-in one that kills apps and does it safely. Using apps such as &quot;Advanced Taskkiller&quot; actually mess with the way the system kills apps and actually can cause more Force Closes and system instability in the long run.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, the more RAM the system has, the more the launcher uses to cache stuff it needs. This is good because the launcher becomes more responsive and fast as its using a cached copy instead of grabbing it all over again. If you clear the cache constantly, it needs to re-cache the items and so it will be less responsive.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Use a lighter launcher. Sense might be good but there are more rock solid and light launchers such as Launcher Pro that wont experience this problem. You dont need a new phone with more RAM. Trust me, 1GB of RAM is more than enough with the right system. :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="6464" LastActivityDate="2011-12-28T21:41:55.127" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Some developers have brought it down to you just plugging in your phone when a certain app is running and everything is done for you while other times will require you to run terminal commands, and download specific software onto your phone. Unlike standard desktop Linux, root has to be acquired through exploits apparent in the phones. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now why gain root?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well for android phones, it allows us to a variety of things such as have the ability to underclock our processors for considerably better battery life or overclock them for performance. We can also create wifi-hotspots with ease, run network based attacks such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARP_spoofing&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ARP-Poisoning&lt;/a&gt;, conduct &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_hijacking&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;cookie hijacking&lt;/a&gt; and so on. Its like jailbreaking an iPhone (except its a LOT more power to tinker in the palm of your hands).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In your case, your app probably configures the network card on your phone for the File Server in a way that cannot be done with the traditional Android API and so needs more system access (hence the request for root permissions).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There is no &quot;simple&quot; setting to turn on root no matter what phone you have. This is because carriers make money by locking down your phone and forcing you to pay for more functionality (i.e tethering/wifi-hotspot). If they give you the ability to activate root, then some people could easily circumvent their control, thus making them lose money. The other possibility is that careless people who don't know what they are doing could seriously mess up their own phones and thus making it a support nightmare for carriers and manufacturers who now have to deal with &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_%28electronics%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;bricked&lt;/a&gt; phones.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What should your best approach be? It all depends. If you really plan on tinkering with the phone or want custom software or want better battery life, then rooting is for you. If you just want to use your phone with no extra functionality or no hassle, then don't bother for root as you probably don't need it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you do want to root, &lt;strong&gt;CAREFULLY&lt;/strong&gt; follow all instructions and do your research. Your best place to start is on your device forums on xda here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1404&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1404&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The 1 click root also has a very good chance of working but this isn't verified to work with your device afaik.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="6464" LastActivityDate="2011-12-30T14:42:50.973" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is because its actually installed in system/lib or system/bin (have to check android source. Might have this confused). Next, this jar file is usually installed with Google Apps package (or gapps for short) and the updater-script takes care of all that so if you still want to manually install the jar file, I suggest you look at the updater-script for the location of install.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, what is the quickest way to fix this and install the jar file?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;reinstall whatever ROM you have - you dont have to wipe the data as only the system was modified. If you have a stock ROM, factory reset wont help. This is because a factory reset wipes the data and cache. It doesn't wipe the system partition that you changed and so the problem will still remain when you reboot.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Flash the latest version of gapps to your phone using recovery.

On next screen, tap &lt;em&gt;RUN&lt;/em&gt; button left to &lt;em&gt;Backup all user apps + system data&lt;/em&gt;. Tap &lt;em&gt;Run the batch operation&lt;/em&gt; button on top.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Go really for a sleep:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Setup &amp;amp; enable a full backup schedule profile from &lt;em&gt;Schedules&lt;/em&gt; tab. It will be enough if you just enable the two default schedule profiles. You can change its backup frequency after tapping &lt;em&gt;Edit&lt;/em&gt; button.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, in the last, you just need 1 click: 0 for Full backup &amp;amp; 1 for Dropbox sync! :)  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What about 0 clicks??&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Install &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ttxapps.dropsync&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Dropsync&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; link TB's Backup directory to a folder in Dropbox (free version supports 1 directory linking which is enough for this).

In fact,&#xA;  you have to subscribe to the Pro version at US$5.oo/month in order to&#xA;  be able to request the geolocation whenever you want it as opposed to&#xA;  whenever the Prey app runs at some unspecified interval, which pretty&#xA;  much kills the utility of the app as an anti-theft utility.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The only features I could find were obtaining the current location&#xA;  (but no real time tracking, and it doesn’t specify whether it gets the&#xA;  info from GPS or by cell tower triangulation so it may not resolve&#xA;  very far), getting phone network info, triggering an audio alarm,&#xA;  triggering a message box alert, and locking the phone.  While it’s&#xA;  great that it’s open source and that it supports so many mobile&#xA;  computing platforms and so might be good for protecting laptops or&#xA;  tablets, I wouldn’t recommend it as a phone anti-theft device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="9160" LastEditorUserId="9160" LastEditDate="2012-01-02T07:35:30.210" LastActivityDate="2012-01-02T07:35:30.210" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This frees up clock cycles for the CPU to do other tasks enabling your phone to be generally smoother and faster. However, this means that everything being done by the GPU eats more RAM (as its using OpenGL to do it which requires more overhead). Android has always done some aspects with the GPU using hardware acceleration. What I have described is a MAJOR OVERSIMPLIFICATION. Its not so cut and dry.

I charged it again up to a 100% (it actually took a long time again to charge it to 100%) and after that, my battery is performing a lot better. 12hours and it was just down to 75% with browsing, games and stuff, so this is the trick that I do whenever I encounter this issue. :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="11221" LastActivityDate="2012-01-03T05:02:33.730" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Manufacturers and carriers often modify the devices' firmware to a great extent, so simply deleting &quot;bloat&quot; apps would seriously cripple that device's functionality.  ROM makers usually either try to minimize the prevalence of manufacturer/carrier customizations by trial and error (remove APK -&gt; see what breaks -&gt; rinse, repeat), or go all out and build a completely new ROM that is based on &quot;vanilla&quot; Android from &lt;a href=&quot;http://source.android.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;AOSP&lt;/a&gt; (Android Open Source Project) source code which is released by Google.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;AOSP code contains only the Android Operating System, and does not contain the kernel or hardware drivers for any devices.  Those pieces are most often proprietary, and therefore non open-source.  Rare exceptions are handsets and tablets in Google's &quot;Nexus&quot; line, which are intended for developers (even then, drivers are provided pre-built by the manufacturer, since Google doesn't make the hardware.)  Developers either have to use the closed drivers as-is which greatly limits what can be modified in the OS itself, or somehow find a way to make similar/older drivers function in AOSP.  Furthermore, AOSP code must be modified to work for the specific device it's being ported to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Needless to say, the effort to get an AOSP-based ROM onto a new device is not an easy undertaking.  There are a few projects that do attempt this.  The most famous ones are &lt;a href=&quot;http://cyanogenmod.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;CyanogenMod&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://miuiandroid.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;MIUI&lt;/a&gt;.  While MIUI attempts to enhance the user interface, CyanogenMod (usually shortened to &quot;CM&quot;) tries to stick as close to the AOSP source as possible, while providing behind-the-scenes tweaks and enhancements.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Currently your device is not officially supported by wither CM or MIUI teams, but there are several &quot;unofficial&quot; &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/38943-cyanogenmod-rom-for-huawei-u8650/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ports&lt;/a&gt; that you can install.

After I make a quick restart all apps work good.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The second problem its that the launcher (not the default one) can't load widget. At the beggining I thought this one was easy: I unlinked the launcher and the apps which made widgets. But nothing, still can't be loaded.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note&lt;/em&gt; killink the launcher and starting it again doesn't solve the problem&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please any help, thanks!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="5898" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2012-09-11T06:40:18.647" Title="Link2sd not working properly" Tags="&lt;2.3-gingerbread&gt;&lt;link2sd&gt;" AnswerCount="2" CommentCount="0" FavoriteCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is safe to remove the stock Android Keyboard application if you have already installed an alternative IME (Input Method Editor) on your phone.  You may go to &quot;Settings-&gt;Local and text-&gt;Text settings-&gt;Select input method&quot; to select ONLY ONE preferred IME and then reboot your phone to ensure it automatically picks up your IME.  Please bear in mind you should NOT install or move your preferred IME application to the SD card because, after your phone is restarted, the default IME will revert to Android keyboard (if you still have the stock Android Keyboard application installed) or your phone will show a lot of ForceCloses (if you have uninstalled the stock Android Keyboard application).  Good Luck!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;FYI, I have already done this before on my Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G (SPH-D700) which comes with a hardware slide-out keyboard, so my risk factor has been much smaller than yours.  :-)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="11416" LastEditorUserId="11416" LastEditDate="2012-01-11T10:27:50.963" LastActivityDate="2012-01-11T10:27:50.963" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There're three approaches to this problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Approach one is an internal battery with higher capacity. I don't have any details on whether Anker is worthwhile, but it's capacity for say HTC Desire S is 1600 mAh and standard battery capacity for the same HTC Desire S is 1450 mAh, so that doesn't look like a huge improvement to me - it will be drained in one day of usual use anyway. What is really important is battery reliability - you want a reliable battery with long lifetime (number of charge-discharge cycles and capacity retainment) and good safety so that it doesn't explode in your phone (that actually happens once in a while with cheap batteries) and you have to look for such information elsewhere, not on this site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Approach two is a spare battery. It's not very convenient - phones are not designed to allow for fast battery swap and phones lose power and their state when a battery is swapped and also charging the spare is a problem, because you either need a charger craddle for that or you use your phone for that and the latter means more battery swapping.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Approach three is an external battery - there's a lot of such stuff, Anker sells that too, they come in a wide range of capacity, some can even be used with netbooks. Basically it's a box with a battery inside and a USB cable. You charge the box either of USB (your computer, laptop, USB hub, phone charger, whatever) or of mains - that depends on the model. Then you can use the box to power any USB device, phone included - the phone will think it is connected to USB and charge through it. This is a rather convenient option - you can temporarily connect your device to the box and charge it fully or partially, you can carry it conveniently in a bag or a pocket and have the device connected to it and use the device at the same time. One big advantage of this approach is that the box can be used with various devices, not a specific model only. One big disadvantage is the thing is relatively expensive. Again you need good reliability, lifetime and safety, you should search for that information elsewhere. Another disadvantage is that the box itself can be slow to charge - its battery capacity is usually rather high and USB doesn't provide lot of power, so charging current will be rather low, this might be important for your convenience.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1097" LastEditorUserId="1097" LastEditDate="2012-01-12T10:05:00.667" LastActivityDate="2012-01-12T10:05:00.667" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

No guarantee that the offending app will be there, but you might be able to pinpoint some suspicious apps that might have brought this onboard. Kill them with impunity and check whether the notification goes away (careful with system apps!). The offending app will most likely restart soon, but at least you have found the culprit. Try to uninstall it, and if it works, you are done.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you can't find the problem in this way, then you need to bring out the heavy guns: &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/1184/how-do-i-root-my-device&quot;&gt;root&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; your device, install &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/search?q=titanium%20backup&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Titanium Backup&lt;/a&gt; (even the free version should work), go through the list of apps and freeze the ones that you do not recognize.

Instead of using the &quot;root&quot; ZIP included in the package, you will need to obtain a pre-rooted Android 3.2 ROM.  There are many such ROMs available on &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1053&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;XDA-Developers&lt;/a&gt; forum, so take your pick (e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412601&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; one,) download the ZIP file, and copy it to the SD Card.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Continue on with the instructions to reboot into the ClockworkMod Recovery:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery by holding down both Power Button&#xA;  and Volume Down buttons.

With the volume buttons for up/down, navigate to &quot;wipe data/factory reset&quot;, and select it by pressing the Power button, and then scroll down to and select the &quot;Yes&quot; option.  Once that operation completes, you can continue with the instructions, substituting the file name they are suggesting with the one you've downloaded:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;... choose “install zip from&#xA;  sdcard” (using Volume buttons) and hit the Power button.  Next, choose&#xA;  “choose zip from sdcard” and hit the Power button.  We are going to&#xA;  zip the Root/SU files again by going to “choose zip from sdcard” and&#xA;  hit the Power button.  Choose the &lt;em&gt;[ insert file name of downloaded ROM here ]&lt;/em&gt;&#xA;  file and hit the Power button, the hit the “Yes” button.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;When that is done, you just need to reboot your Tab 10.1 and you&#xA;  should have a fully-rooted Android 3.2 Galaxy Tab 10.1.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;According to some comments this method should work on the WiFi-only model of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-P7510).

I transferred the Samsung&#xA;  zip file to the Alarms folder of the tab. I then shut down my tap and&#xA;  powered it back up in Clockworks recovery mode.

The phone will not have to fetch any additional resources.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;http://support.google.com/androidmarket/developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;amp;answer=113469&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://support.google.com/androidmarket/developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;amp;answer=113469&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;[2] &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6659627/iphone-app-size-limit&quot;&gt;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6659627/iphone-app-size-limit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="11617" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-05-23T12:40:31.367" LastActivityDate="2012-01-15T00:57:37.823" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's used by Android and other *nix based systems to allow a process to change the user account it is associated with. The reason it's important from a rooting standpoint is that &lt;code&gt;su&lt;/code&gt; without any other parameters will switch to the root user, meaning that processes that require root permission for their functionality need to invoke &lt;code&gt;su&lt;/code&gt; (since by default they are not being run by root).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Superuser is an Android application (.apk is an Android application package). It works as a sort of &quot;gatekeeper&quot; to the &lt;code&gt;su&lt;/code&gt; binary. Applications which attempt to invoke &lt;code&gt;su&lt;/code&gt; will be forced to route through Superuser, which will then prompt the user if it is an unknown or new application. The user then has the option of approving or denying the access to &lt;code&gt;su&lt;/code&gt; and optionally having Superuser remember their decision so it can automatically apply it for subsequent calls by that app. By doing this, the only apps which are granted root permissions are ones that the user chooses.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The source of both applications is available on Github, and can be examined/audited by anyone who wishes to look at it (Superuser &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/ChainsDD/Superuser&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, su &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/ChainsDD/su-binary&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can find further details - as well as changelogs - on &lt;a href=&quot;http://androidsu.com/superuser/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Superuser's website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Other related questions on Android Enthusiasts:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/16367/how-exactly-does-root-user-access-account-works-do-all-applications-run-as-ro&quot;&gt;How exactly does &amp;quot;root&amp;quot; user access/account works?

If I open up even a simple app like &lt;em&gt;Messages&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;Contacts&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;Settings&lt;/em&gt; the homelauncher gets killed in the background.

So I installed an App that shows me more details about the network setup of my phone. And after some digging around I noticed what was wrong:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My phone didn't have a default IPv4 route.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;How did that happen? In the DHCP I push a default route (dhcp option 3)!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I realized that when I just had the IPv6 link (which is part of a whole new internet connection) my phone DID connect to the internet with both IPv4 and IPv6. So I recreated the original setup and found that in that scenario indeed it does work. So what is different?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It took me two nights with wireshark to track the culprit down.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The real reason turns out to be that I have a static route for my DMZ which is pushed by my IPv4 DHCP server (dhcp option 121).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I do that the Android phone only shows a route for the local subnet and the additional route I pushed. The default route is lost, hence IPv4 traffic is distorted. Apparently Android even no longer tries to do IPv4 DNS requests (which is the problem I started with).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All of my other systems (Windows {XP,7}, Linux, Android 3.x) do not do this and they keep all of the pushed routes and the default route.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once I figured out what the problem was I could Google more effectively and I found this bug report:&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17525&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17525&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;Which in turn led to a workaround that actually works!!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Quote from &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-635489.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-635489.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;So as a &quot;band aid fix it&quot; i added the default gw to the static routes list... &#xA;So the line in dnsmasq looks like:&#xA;&#xA;dhcp-option=121,&amp;lt;network&amp;gt;,&amp;lt;route&amp;gt;,0/0,192.168.1.254&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So when looking at the DHCP ACK packet you'll see the default route in there twice: under option 3 and 121.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Quite an unexpected workaround ... but it works for me.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It turns out the Android behaviour is correct:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3442#page-5&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3442#page-5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;&quot;If the DHCP server returns both a Classless Static Routes option and&#xA;a Router option, the DHCP client MUST ignore the Router option.&quot;&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="7819" LastEditorUserId="7819" LastEditDate="2012-01-25T22:59:16.503" LastActivityDate="2012-01-25T22:59:16.503" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

From a technical perspective, this is controlled by flags on the &lt;code&gt;TextView&lt;/code&gt; object that represents the text area control (e.g. the &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/InputType.html#TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt; option). I don't believe there is any way to override this setting if the app chooses to disable it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's probably also important to note that it's a bit of a one-way street. Suggestions are enabled by default on all text areas, but will obey the global setting, so an app can't forcibly enable suggestions in any way. If you have the global setting turned off, they're off everywhere.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The logic that the developer documentation provides for allowing apps to forcibly disable suggestions is that in some cases they simply aren't very useful. The specific relevant quote would be (from the above link): &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;... This is useful for text views that do not contain words from the language and do not benefit from any dictionary-based completions or corrections ...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd wager the Market disables them because app names and such have no obligation to be dictionary words, so suggestion attempts would often prove rather futile. I would also understand the same being true of your second example, which sounds like a source code editor (I assume that's what you mean by &quot;syntax highlighting&quot;).

I did everything you described and even flashed a newer Radio version to no avail. I got so frustrated I broke down and did a factory reset - for some reason it magically fixed my issue. I know it's the nuclear option here (as well as a popular catch-all answer) but I honestly think it's worth a shot. This also might be an excuse to bump up to CM 7.1.0 Stable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;FWIW I've had various strange and inexplicable issues with Cyanogenmod on my Incredible, this GPS trouble being just one. If you're up for a slight paradigm shift I've come to really like MIUI and haven't run into anything terribly strange (...yet).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;EDIT: Just in case, here are some great instructions for performing a factory reset from the helpful &lt;a href=&quot;http://forums.miui.us/showthread.php?12394-GUIDE-HTC-Incredible-Install-GUIDE&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;MIUI HTC Incredible Installation Guide&lt;/a&gt; (these steps are applicable to performing a factory reset in any ROM as long as you're using ClockworkMod Recovery).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;3) Open Rom Manager and select &quot;Reboot into Recovery.&quot; (Yes, we're&#xA;  assuming you have already flashed the latest &quot;Clockworkmod Recovery.&quot;&#xA;  If you have not, please do so now via Rom Manager by selecting &quot;Flash&#xA;  ClockworkMod Recovery&quot; from the Rom Manager options before trying to&#xA;  reboot into recovery.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;4) ...from the Main Clockworkmod Recovery&#xA;  menu, select &quot;Backup and Restore.&quot; Then Select &quot;Backup.&quot; This will&#xA;  create a Nandroid Backup in case anything goes incorrectly during or&#xA;  you get a bad ROM, you can always load your backup and return your&#xA;  phone to EXACTLY the way it was before you began making changes in&#xA;  Recovery. You may also Restore your Backup from here, but only after&#xA;  performing a Full Wipe of your phone to eliminate any trace of the old&#xA;  data that may corrupt your &quot;restore&quot; process. For more info on&#xA;  performing a &quot;Full Wipe,&quot; see the next step.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;6) Now to do a clean wipe of your phone. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: At this point you&#xA;  will lose everything on your phone that you have not backed up to an&#xA;  alternative storage space, via cloud, PC, SDcard. This will basically&#xA;  return your phone to a straight out of the box setup.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Select&#xA;  Factory Wipe/Data Reset from the list of options (On the HTC&#xA;  Incredible, you may move your selector up and down with the trackball&#xA;  or the volume buttons, the press the trackball to enter your&#xA;  selection.) After your selection scroll down through the Nos to the&#xA;  &quot;Yes&quot; and select it, and your phone will begin to clear out its&#xA;  memory. When it completes, you should be back at the menu to Wipe&#xA;  Data/Factory Reset. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;7) After your Full Wipe, scroll down to the &quot;Advanced&quot; menu, and&#xA;  select it. The next list of options should display &quot;Wipe Dalvik&#xA;  Cache.&quot; Select it, Scroll down through the Nos to the &quot;Yes&quot; and select&#xA;  it. It should only take a second. This step may be redundant after a&#xA;  full wipe, but if you ever need to &quot;Update&quot; a ROM, its important to&#xA;  know where this option is, so good practice. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;8) Press the &quot;Power&quot; button on the phone to go back to the main&#xA;  Clockworkmod Recovery options. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;13) Select Reboot System Now, and your phone should reboot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="11343" LastEditorUserId="11343" LastEditDate="2012-01-31T19:51:12.410" LastActivityDate="2012-01-31T19:51:12.410" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Probably some kind of CyanogenMod interference. Any good way around that, please?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EDIT: debugged the situation a little bit. I happen to know that market updating happens out of the main Market process - the Market (com.android.vending) downloads the update, then fires a broadcast intent UPDATE_MARKET to a receiver in another app (com.android.vending.updater), which in turn installs the package. Here's what I got in the LogCat:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;02-01 02:34:16.155: W/ActivityManager(121): Permission Denial:&#xA;  broadcasting Intent { act=com.android.vending.UPDATE_MARKET&#xA;  dat=content://downloads/download/31 } from com.android.vending&#xA;  (pid=1762, uid=10006) requires&#xA;  com.android.vending.permission.UPDATE_MARKET due to receiver&#xA;  com.android.vending.updater/com.android.vending.updater.UpdateMarketReceiver&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So it looks as if the Market app lacks a permission to invoke the updater. The manifest file of Vending.apk, however, does have a &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;uses-permission android:name=&quot;com.android.vending.permission.UPDATE_MARKET&quot; /&amp;gt; &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;line. How is it possible for an app to have a &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;uses-permission&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;, but receive a permission denial message?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EDIT2: the permission com.android.vending.permission.UPDATE_MARKET is marked as &quot;signature&quot; in the MarketUpdater manifest. Meaning only apps signed by the same certificate as MarketUpdater are granted that permission. That could be the reason Market is not granted the permission - could be signed by a different certificate.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EDIT3: that's exactly the case. The public key is different.

I know this works with things like my office's apps accounts because I can see our shared calendars on my phone, but I'm not positive if it will work with a personal Google account (I'd imagine it might, though). You'd also want to make sure that both accounts had permission to modify the calendar, I assume.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, Android will let you selectively choose account data to sync with Google's servers, so one way to do this would be:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Set up the existing calendar's account on both phones&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Go into &lt;code&gt;Settings-&amp;gt;Accounts and Sync&lt;/code&gt; and select the account&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Uncheck everything &lt;strong&gt;except&lt;/strong&gt; &quot;Sync Calendar&quot; (do this on both devices)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Set up individual accounts for email, contacts, etc on each phone&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This should cause the calendar data from the shared account to sync to each phone, but none of the other data (email, contacts, etc). Then the individual accounts can be set to sync the rest of the data, and will exist separately. You could also choose to have your phone sync email, contacts, and calendar data all from the shared account (if appropriate), while your wife's only syncs the calendar data. Then she can have a separate email/contacts account for herself, or vice versa.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One possible downside to this method, however, is that I believe the calendar account will still appear in e.g. the Gmail app, though it won't automatically sync emails and create notifications (in other words, you could choose to manually pull down emails by opening the app).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastEditorUserId="981" LastEditDate="2012-02-01T02:44:05.783" LastActivityDate="2012-02-01T02:44:05.783" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

A new token can also be exchanged at other times, but you are unaware that it even happens. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When the applications, like gmail, go and check for new mail, they use that token to tell the gmail servers that you are &quot;you&quot;.

They are draining your battery more than saving it. The System is restarting the services when they need to run which is causing battery usage.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, you are under the assumption that freeing up memory is a good thing. It is not. Freeing up memory is not going to decrease battery usage. What you really need to look for is the apps that use a lot of CPU cycles. This is what will drain your battery.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Android is based on Linux. Linux always wants to use all the memory available because free memory is wasted memory. The android system will take care of releasing memory of applications that are not in use so other applications can use it when needed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even if you try and kill applications that are running and taking up memory, the system will either restart these services/apps, which will cause battery drain because they probably have some syncing that happens when starting up, or just the CPU cycles that are used to initialize the application. Killing the applications will also cause the device to appear slow when trying to start applications because something that normally might be running now needs to be started back up before presenting you with the applications user interface.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some things that will cause battery drain like GPS, wifi, bluetooth, and data usage are going to use your CPU a lot more to process the data that is being transmitted and received. Turning these off when not in use will save on a lot of battery drain. I have a bad battery in my device, it wont even charge past 94%, but I can get 12 or more hours out of my battery if I turn off these services when I don't need them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I use google maps all the time, and in my battery stats its not even listed as an app using resources. My highest battery user is the Screen @ 31%, and the lowest shown is GMail @ 3%. I can assure you, google maps is not the cause of your battery drain. Using task killers is more likely the cause. As I said I use google maps for directions almost daily, and it isn't even in the top 10 list of apps that are using my battery.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;More information on task killers from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Google Android Developers blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A common misunderstanding about Android multitasking is the difference between a process and an application. In Android these are not tightly coupled entities: applications may seem present to the user without an actual process currently running the app; multiple applications may share processes, or one application may make use of multiple processes depending on its needs; the process(es) of an application may be kept around by Android even when that application is not actively doing something.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The fact that you can see an application's process &amp;quot;running&amp;quot; does not mean the application is running or doing anything. It may simply be there because Android needed it at some point, and has decided that it would be best to keep it around in case it needs it again. Likewise, you may leave an application for a little bit and return to it from where you left off, and during that time Android may have needed to get rid of the process for other things.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A key to how Android handles applications in this way is that processes don't shut down cleanly. When the user leaves an application, its process is kept around in the background, allowing it to continue working (for example downloading web pages) if needed, and come immediately to the foreground if the user returns to it. If a device never runs out of memory, then Android will keep all of these processes around, truly leaving all applications &amp;quot;running&amp;quot; all of the time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, there is a limited amount of memory, and to accommodate this Android must decide when to get rid of processes that are not needed. This leads to Android's process lifecycle, the rules it uses to decide how important each process is and thus the next one that should be dropped. These rules are based on both how important a process is for the user's current experience, as well as how long it has been since the process was last needed by the user.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once Android determines that it needs to remove a process, it does this brutally, simply force-killing it. The kernel can then immediately reclaim all resources needed by the process, without relying on that application being well written and responsive to a polite request to exit. Allowing the kernel to immediately reclaim application resources makes it a lot easier to avoid serious out of memory situations.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If a user later returns to an application that's been killed, Android needs a way to re-launch it in the same state as it was last seen, to preserve the &amp;quot;all applications are running all of the time&amp;quot; experience. This is done by keeping track of the parts of the application the user is aware of (the Activities), and re-starting them with information about the last state they were seen in. This last state is generated each time the user leaves that part of the application, not when it is killed, so that the kernel can later freely kill it without depending on the application to respond correctly at that point.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In some ways, Android's process management can be seen as a form of swap space: application processes represent a certain amount of in-use memory; when memory is low, some processes can be killed (swapped out); when those processes are needed again, they can be re-started from their last saved state (swapped in).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here is another article talking about how Task killers will drain your battery.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tektype.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/how-to-extend-evo-battery-life-for-free/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Do not use Automatic Task Killing Software&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;To make a long story short, using auto-task killers can cause: excessive battery drain (as if the phone doesn’t drain a battery quick enough already),  the phone to overheat often and programs shutting down (crashing) randomly – programs you actually want to use. Stay away from these!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One thing that you could do if you are really set on &amp;quot;stopping maps&amp;quot; until you want to use it is use the Freeze option in titanium backup.

That is plain wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I tried removing all the accounts except my own from my phone but the information recorded still persists. Is it going to be updated after some time when the server cache is cleared?

I'm a Wikipedia administrator, and there are a variety of public noticeboards for discussions of interest to administrators, like the &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3aAN&quot;&gt;administrators' noticeboard&lt;/a&gt; and the usually drama-filled &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3aANI&quot;&gt;administrators' noticeboard for incidents&lt;/a&gt;.

Again, look at the links above. There are RSS feeds for individual changes to the page, but I'm interested in saving the whole page, not getting an RSS feed.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Basically what I'm looking for is an Android version of what they referred to as an &quot;offline browser&quot; back in the early days of the web.

You can usually search for the app in &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/&quot;&gt;Android Market&lt;/a&gt;, and the link will contain its package name, e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps&quot;&gt;https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps&lt;/a&gt; would be the link to Google Maps.  Usually the package names are descriptive enough that you can simply guess which app they represent just by looking at it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can do a few simple &lt;code&gt;ls&lt;/code&gt; commands in &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&quot;&gt;Terminal Emulator&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html&quot;&gt;ADB&lt;/a&gt; shell to find out the app's name, and where it's stored.  However, you will need to have root access to the device since app and data storage is protected.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Pre-installed apps are generally located in &lt;code&gt;/system/app&lt;/code&gt; directory.  Use the command &lt;code&gt;ls -l /system/app/&lt;/code&gt; to find how much space a particular system app is taking up:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;ls -l /system/app/Browser.*&#xA;-rw-r--r-- root     root               418098 2011-06-26 01:05 Browser.apk&#xA;-rw-r--r-- root     root               472760 2011-06-26 01:05 Browser.odex&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On most Stock ROMs you will see an .odex file along with a .apk file for each app - those are pre-compiled binaries optimized for your given device.  You cannot remove them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;3rd-party apps are installed to &lt;code&gt;/data/app&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;/data/app-private&lt;/code&gt; directories.  Command &lt;code&gt;ls -l /data/app/[package_name_here]*&lt;/code&gt; should return the amount of space taken up by this app on internal memory.  For example, here's the output of looking at Google Maps apk:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# ls -l /data/app/com.google.android.apps.maps*&#xA;ls -l /data/app/com.google.android.apps.maps*&#xA;-rw-r--r-- system   system            6330104 2012-02-04 09:01 com.google.android.apps.maps-2.apk&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The app data and settings are located on &lt;code&gt;/data/data/&lt;/code&gt; partition.  There you will find a directory for each installed app, e.g. &lt;code&gt;/data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/&lt;/code&gt; for preferences and settings related to the Google Maps app.  Again, &lt;code&gt;ls -l /data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/*&lt;/code&gt; will return a listing of all files with their sizes:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# ls -l

devices).  This introduces a level of complexity since portions of the app get moved around.  For every app that you move to SD Card/media area, the system creates a virtual mount point named &lt;code&gt;/dev/block/dm-X&lt;/code&gt;, where &quot;X&quot; is a sequential number.  It them moves the app's APK (Android package) file and some preferences there.  You can view this by issuing a &lt;code&gt;mount&lt;/code&gt; command in shell/terminal emulator.  Along with other usual mounts, it should show which apps were moved to SD Card like in an example below:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;/dev/block/dm-0 /mnt/asec/com.metago.astro-1 vfat ro,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,fmask=0222,dmask=0222,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0&#xA;/dev/block/dm-1 /mnt/asec/com.a0soft.gphone.aTrackDog-1 vfat ro,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1000,fmask=0222,dmask=0222,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here I moved Astro file manager and aTrackDog apps to the SD Card on my phone.  Use &lt;code&gt;ls /mnt/asec/&lt;/code&gt; to view the directories created for the moved apps.  Issuing command &lt;code&gt;ls -l /mnt/asec/*&lt;/code&gt; will list the file sizes within those folders:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# ls -l -a /mnt/asec/*&#xA;ls -l -a /mnt/asec/*&#xA;-r-xr-xr-x system   root               332826 2012-02-07 11:21 pkg.apk&#xA;dr-xr-xr-x system   root                        2012-02-07 11:21 lib&#xA;-r-xr-xr-x system   root              2363522 2012-02-07 11:18 pkg.apk&#xA;dr-xr-xr-x system   root                        2012-02-07 11:18 lib&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The wrapper for the virtual partition gets stored inside a hidden &quot;.android_secure&quot; folder of the SD Card:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# ls -a -l /mnt/sdcard/.android_secure&#xA;ls -a -l /mnt/sdcard/.android_secure&#xA;----rwxr-x system   sdcard_rw          4290560 2012-02-07 11:18 com.metago.astro-1.asec&#xA;----rwxr-x system   sdcard_rw          2161664 2012-02-07 11:21 com.a0soft.gphone.aTrackDog-1.asec&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once moved the app's APK will no longer be under &lt;code&gt;/data/app/&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;/data/app-private/&lt;/code&gt; folders.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another area of interest is Dalvik Cache - an area that contains cached data for each installed app.  Upon first boot-up or new app installation the system generates a .dex file for each app that it uses for quicker start-up.  These files are stored on &lt;code&gt;/data/dalvik-cache/&lt;/code&gt; partition.  Command &lt;code&gt;ls -l /data/dalvik-cache/*[package_name_here]*&lt;/code&gt; will return the space taken up by the app's Dalvik cache.  For example, here's how much space is taken up by Google Maps app:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# ls -l /data/dalvik-cache/*com.google.android.apps.maps*&#xA;ls -l /data/dalvik-cache/*com.google.android.apps.maps*&#xA;-rw-r--r-- system   app_189           4406016 2012-02-04 09:01 data@app@com.google.android.apps.maps-2.apk@classes.dex&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Next, the &lt;code&gt;/cache&lt;/code&gt; partition of the internal memory may be used by apps.  The command &lt;code&gt;ls -l /cache/&lt;/code&gt; will show you all files stored there, along with sizes and owner information.  For example, on my phone here's the output:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# ls -l /cache/&#xA;ls -l /cache/&#xA;-rw-r--r-- app_13   app_13            3640954 2012-02-07 09:16 downloadfile-1.apk&#xA;drwxrwx--- system   cache                       2011-12-31 21:03 recovery&#xA;drwxrwx--- root     root                        2011-12-31 21:00 lost+found&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Besides the standard directories, there is a file named &lt;code&gt;downloadfile-1.apk&lt;/code&gt; that belongs to something named &quot;app_13&quot;.  I can cross-reference this &quot;app_13&quot; name to the listing of &lt;code&gt;ls -l /data/data/&lt;/code&gt; to see that this file belongs to Android's built-in downloader:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# ls -l /data/data/&#xA;ls -l /data/data/&#xA;......&#xA;drwxr-x--x app_13   app_13                      2011-12-31 21:02 com.android.providers.downloads.ui&#xA;......&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, apps can use the SD Card for their own purposes, and there is really no way to track this, unless the app names its folders something recognizable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3646" LastActivityDate="2012-02-07T16:55:46.087" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm not necessarily talking about malicious apps, but reputable apps that tend toward higher CPU usage the longer they run?  I'm assuming that if an app always has high CPU usage a task killer will not help as it will likely restart, and should just probably be uninstalled altogether.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2)  In the case of a launcher that slows down over time, would a task killer or reboot app be helpful, simply in restarting it (similar to case 2, but I'm not sure lag in a specific app is directly correlated with its CPU usage).  I know that when I used third-party launchers, I had more lag issues as opposed to using the basic AOSP launcher (Android's own default launcher, often replaced by phone vendors own version).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Any other specific cases?  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3415" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:26.317" LastActivityDate="2012-02-07T19:55:15.137" Title="Are there specific cases in which a task-killer or &quot;fast reboot&quot; program is helpful?"

I tried it on an sms to see if it would work. It didn't but from then on the sms app started two threads, in a seemingly random way: most of the received sms are listed under a number starting with *131*001 that I cannot reply to. In the process all the past sms conversations were &quot;captured&quot; and listed under that number. To send sms I had to start a new thread with the same number but without *131*001.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is what I tried: first, I added *131*001etc as an additional number for my contact, hoping that the threads would be merged. But it did nothing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Secondly, after reading some, I used SMSBackupAndRestore to save the sms and modify the resulting xml file. I noticed one difference between the sms in the two different threads, namely, a difference in the service_center, for instance service_center=&quot;+852161645501&quot; for the sms listed as *131*001etc and service_center=&quot;null&quot; for the properly listed sms. So I replaced every instance of service_center=&quot;+852161645501&quot; (numbers varied) with service_center=&quot;null&quot;. I then reloaded the modified xml file using SMSBackupAndRestore.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Before the &quot;fix&quot; just described, I had about 2,000 messages listed under *131*001etc and about 5 or 6 listed under the correct number. After the &quot;fix&quot;, I had two more or less evenly split lists, of about 1,000 messages each. Plus a third list got created with 2 messages in it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As I was doing this, it occurred to me that SMSBackupAndRestore only saves the text of the sms, not the pictures and other attachments. Yet, the pictures and attachments were showing up after applying the &quot;fix&quot;, showing that the sms had not really been deleted, merely taken off the directory and upon being re-loaded the android sms app would &quot;recognize&quot; the messages and re-load the pictures and attachments. This means that there is a folder somewhere with the history of my sms. And the android sms app is using information stored there to recreate the *131*001etc thread that I'm trying to delete.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I wanted to delete all the cache. I couldn't find it by browsing (I'm using Windows 7), so I downloaded some apps to help me, two apps named 1tap cleaner, both worked in a similar way and deleted cache, but obviously not the cache I want to delete since it hasn't solved anything.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have deleted all the sms, but double threads listed as *131*001etc still happen with the new messages.

Even if you set the GV app to &lt;code&gt;Receive text messages &amp;gt; Also via the messaging app&lt;/code&gt; you'll still only receive the messages when your GV inbox is synced - you'll just &lt;em&gt;also&lt;/em&gt; get the messages duplicated in your default SMS app.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Confusingly, you can also have your GV inbox setup to send SMS copy of the messages your GV number receives to your mobile's number using your carrier's SMS system. This isn't necessary if you have the GV app on your Android phone and want to use data/wifi to receive messages. I advise turning this setting off in your GV inbox web interface: &lt;code&gt;Settings &amp;gt; Phones &amp;gt; [Mobile Phone]&lt;/code&gt; then uncheck &lt;code&gt;Receive text messages on this phone&lt;/code&gt;. You will still receive texts sent to your GV number on your phone, just via the GV app using data/wifi and not your default SMS app using your carrier's SMS.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sending Messages:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, the easier stuff:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;To send a text message &lt;em&gt;from your GV number&lt;/em&gt; using &lt;em&gt;data/wifi&lt;/em&gt; make&#xA;sure to use the GV app on your phone to compose and send messages.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;To send a text message &lt;em&gt;from your mobile number&lt;/em&gt; using &lt;em&gt;your carrier's&#xA;SMS&lt;/em&gt; make sure to use the default SMS app on your phone.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, the harder stuff:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have &lt;code&gt;Receive text messages &amp;gt; Also via the messaging app&lt;/code&gt; set in the GV app, you'll see the same text messages in both your GV app and your default SMS app. Please note that this is a slightly different condition than having &lt;code&gt;Receive text messages on this phone&lt;/code&gt; set for your mobile phone in your GV inbox, even though the end result looks the same. Given this condition:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you reply using the GV app you will reply &lt;em&gt;from your GV number&lt;/em&gt; over &lt;em&gt;data/wifi&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you reply using the default SMS app you will reply &lt;em&gt;from your GV number&lt;/em&gt; over &lt;em&gt;your carrier's SMS&lt;/em&gt; (this is just as if GV sent your mobile an SMS copy and you replied to it on a non-smart phone).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I suspect some combination of the above settings and usage scenarios is causing your problem, and that by simply changing some settings or your habits (or both) will result in the behavior you're looking for.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;EDIT: To help with confusion I've drawn a quick flowchart:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/zW9Os.png&quot; alt=&quot;Google Voice SMS flowchart&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="11343" LastEditorUserId="11343" LastEditDate="2012-02-10T00:48:05.803" LastActivityDate="2012-02-10T00:48:05.803" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This file specifies the GPS servers that the device will use. Each manufacturer wants to use their own special GPS servers instead of the main ones from Google (some have different values for different devices). This means that different devices connect to different servers for the same goal: GPS tracking.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This means 2 things for lockon time:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The speed and hardware of the GPS servers the manufacturer has specified will determine the lockon time.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The amount of traffic going to those servers will also significantly affect lockon time.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is why many Samsung phones have notoriously slow GPS lockon times. Additionally, some manufacturers specify gps servers that arent even on the same continent (they specify one set of general servers for everybody). This means that if the servers are in europe, the lockon times will be better for people in europe due to low latency and the people in the US wont be so lucky.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The fix for this is simple (editing the file and replacing them with more region specific gps servers) but this requires root access.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="6464" LastActivityDate="2012-02-10T21:37:55.507" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is still 'under developement' but would probably address the 'audio only' feature. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From a more technical perspective, it helps to break the issue down into available Youtube network protocols for media streaming &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_Streaming_Protocol&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;RTSP&lt;/a&gt;. RTSP specs allow a client to make a request using the DESCRIBE command to which the server responds with an SDP data segment (see details below). Youtube servers can respond in a variety of protocols , sending underlying streams that in turn use a variety of encodings -one for audio, one for video- to transfer the media bits across the network to the client. Over the mobile networks, a feature that goes to youtube in order to receive both audio and video tracks before discarding video while playing only audio is not a good practice because of the heavy network requirement for the unused video stream. You can get around the network inefficiency with some further technical drill-down.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;RTSP and SDP standards observed by Youtube would allow a streaming client (android device) to request ONLY the Audio during the Client/Server handshake steps and negotiation steps around the network connection setup that will do the media streaming. In this case, no video would be sent and the android player would be configured on an audio only stream. Some CLI command details and some protocol details on this ‘youtube audio only’ scenario follow.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A youtube, format 1 audio only track for a particular video is available at the following RTSP URI:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;rtsp://v8.cache8.c.youtube.com/CigLENy73wIaHwlcw_gs85OUchMYDSANFEgGUgx1c2VyX3VwbG9hZHMM/0/0/0/video.3gp&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From the RTSP URI for the entire video (audio track plus video track) , the following CLI expression makes use of 2 media clients &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;openRTSP&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/info.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;mPlayer&lt;/a&gt; going to Youtube where it then GETS/PLAYS just the Youtube audio track by requesting only &lt;strong&gt;channel=1&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;./openRTSP -a rtsp://v8.cache8.c.youtube.com/CigLENy73wIaHwlcw_gs85OUchMYDSANFEgGUgx1c2VyX3VwbG9hZHMM/0/0/0/video.3gp | ./mplayer -cache 8092 - -rawaudio channels=1:rate=8000:samplesize=2:format=0x73616D72&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This CLI expression is further described in a link at the bottom.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Youtube ‘feeds’ describe the available stream formats for any Youtube video, including the RTSP URI’s mentioned above.

I've heard that some builds will also come with a recovery image, but I have never seen one that did this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unlocking your SIM is unrelated to your firmware, and CM will not perform a SIM unlock for you. &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/What_is_CyanogenMod&quot;&gt;CyanogenMod's wiki itself states&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;CyanogenMod, however, does not &quot;unlock&quot; the device. Most carriers&#xA;  &quot;lock&quot; their handsets to prevent customers from buying a handset and&#xA;  moving to a different carrier. Carriers depend on these &quot;exclusivity&quot;&#xA;  agreements to bolster revenue. For example: if you buy an iPhone in&#xA;  the US, you are stuck with AT&amp;amp;T or Verizon, whichever you bought from.&#xA;  To use the handset on another carrier's network it would be necessary&#xA;  to &quot;unlock&quot; the handset. This is done with a code based on the IMEI of&#xA;  the handset that can be provided by your carrier or firms on the&#xA;  internet that are slightly more reliable than a Nigerian Prince.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Unlocking cannot be done by installing CyanogenMod, or any other&#xA;  firmware for that matter.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would further assume that the bootloader on your device does not have any kind of bearing on the SIM lock. HTC allows bootloaders to be unlocked on certain devices, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://htcdev.com/bootloader&quot;&gt;their website specifically states&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Please note that unlocking your bootloader does not mean that you will&#xA;  be able to unlock the SIM lock. Unlocking your SIM lock is at the&#xA;  discretion of your operator/carrier and is not part of the bootloader&#xA;  unlocking scope.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would guess this is likely similar on other devices, though I'm not specifically familiar with Huawei's hardware or software.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastEditorUserId="981" LastEditDate="2012-02-15T17:59:50.930" LastActivityDate="2012-02-15T17:59:50.930" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's kind of kludgy looking when you inspect the clipboard, but it works just fine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First off, you can inspect the current clipboard contents with &lt;code&gt;service call clipboard 1&lt;/code&gt; from an adb shell (or, without shelling in first, &lt;code&gt;adb shell service call clipboard 1&lt;/code&gt;). It may start out initially blank after a reboot, for example:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# service call clipboard 1&#xA;Result: Parcel(&#xA;  0x00000000: 00000000 00000001 00000000 00000000 '................'&#xA;  0x00000010: 00000000 00000000                   '........        ')&#xA;#&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can put text into the clipboard using &lt;code&gt;service call clipboard 2&lt;/code&gt;, which basically takes 3 parameters - two ints and the string you want to put on the clipboard:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# service call clipboard 2 i32 1 i32 0 s16 &quot;Hi there&quot;&#xA;Result: Parcel(00000000    '....')&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To be honest, I'm not sure what the first two parameters are. &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.com/a/7582441/390989&quot;&gt;One answer on Stack Overflow&lt;/a&gt; has suggested the first int is &quot;number of items in the parcel&quot; (one in this case) and that the second is the length of the string. However, I've used 0 for the second parameter and it works fine, and I can't find any documentation that matches up with this particular function...so take that for what it's worth.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In any case, it's basically creating a Parcel object with 3 fields, then passing it into the clipboard. The clipboard then unpacks the Parcel and sets the string value passed in as the clipboard's contents. You can see this when you go to retrieve the value afterwards:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;# service call clipboard 1&#xA;Result: Parcel(&#xA;  0x00000000: 00000000 00000001 00000000 00000008 '................'&#xA;  0x00000010: 00690048 00740020 00650068 00650072 'H.i. .t.h.e.r.e.'&#xA;  0x00000020: 00000000 00000000                   '........

The time stamps of the messages I send out are correct. The time stamps of the incoming messages in the backup files are 8 hours before the correct time. I read elsewhere that this can happen when you are roaming. I have a Motorola XPRT on Sprint and I live in California.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I downloaded and used about 5 different SMS backup applications (both free and paid) to try to archive my messages. They all have this problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now here's the interesting part. The time stamps rendered in the stock SMS application are &lt;strong&gt;correct&lt;/strong&gt;. I tried 2 third-party SMS applications with different results. Handcent SMS shows the time stamps correctly. Go SMS Pro show the incoming messages with the same &lt;strong&gt;incorrect&lt;/strong&gt; time stamps as the backup files.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This leads me to a point of reevaluation. The database that stores the messages on the phone is storing multiple time stamps. I'm guessing they have sent time (the time that is 8 hours behind what it should be) and received time fields. The backup applications and Go SMS Pro are probably using the sent times. The default SMS application and Handcent SMS are probably using the received times.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ok so now I need a way to solve this issue. To do that I need answers to some questions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Does Android use SQLite to store SMS messages?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Where is the SMS database is located?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;How and where are MMS messages stored?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;How can I copy the database to my computer?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Do I have to root my phone?

They are great if you lost your phone in your house (or somewhere &quot;safe&quot;) but if you lost it at like a bar or if someone actually stole it, chances are you will not even be able to use this software. A factory reset can be done on any device rather quickly, which would remove your &quot;locating software&quot; and remove any &quot;tie&quot; that your accounts may have to the device. Also, they require the device be ON, so if someone does steal your phone, all they have to do is turn it off, and when they have a chance, do a factory reset. My best advice I can give you is to remember that these are ~$600 devices (what you will pay off contract, or for a replacement) so treat it like it is a ~$600 device and don't leave it laying around. I am not saying that I would ever take someones phone or anything, but I could have the device factory reset by the time I got to the door to leave.

They are also large consumers of battery. Apps like twitter, Google+, and Facebook that either check frequently or receive push notifications frequently will also cause drain. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You didn't say you do specifically, but if you use a task killer to stop tasks from running in the background, you are probably causing more harm then good when it comes to conserving battery. This is because even if these apps are &quot;running&quot; in the background, it doesn't mean that they are actually &quot;active&quot;. If they are idle, they are not using any battery at all. Killing them causes them to exit incorrectly, and when the device needs information from them, it now has to go through the entire process of starting the application back up. This will use more battery then if the app was just idle and responded to the request that it was asked.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This restarting of the applications that are killed by task killers can also cause the &quot;slowness&quot; you are experiencing. There are a lot of system services that sit idle in the background, if you kill them, the OS may check for these services, as they are registered to be running, and the OS will restart them. This will cause memory to be allocated to restart these services, and the CPU needed to run their initialization processes. Then if you have something like an auto killer, it will see the service starting and the entire process starts again. This basically never frees up the memory these services are using because they are always being restarted. Also the CPU is also always doing the initialization work, and there may be some network communications going on during the start up as well. All of these will cause battery drain, and the device to appear to be running slow.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1951" LastActivityDate="2012-02-24T16:47:08.443" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You might have to restart your computer a few times, but eventually it is possible. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Open a command window in the directory containing the ADB.exe program (it is in the 'platform-tools' directory under the androis-sdk-windows folder)&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Type:&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;ADB SHELL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;If the connection is OK, it will start a server and after e few seconds show the '&lt;strong&gt;$&lt;/strong&gt;' prompt. this means you are connected to the tablet and have direct access to the linux shell. If you type '&lt;strong&gt;ls&lt;/strong&gt;' you will see a list of folders that contain the operating system and all supporting files that make your tablet work.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Now navigate to the folder containing the Flash file system by typing:&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;cd ./dev/block/vold&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;If you now type '&lt;strong&gt;ls&lt;/strong&gt;' again you should see three or four folders that have numbered names. One of them is '31:8'. This is the folder that points to the internal flash. Now we can fix our problem by recreating the MS-DOS (FAT32) file system on this partition. Type the following:&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/block/vold/31:8/&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;This will fix the FAT32 filesystem. Now leave the shell by typing '&lt;strong&gt;exit&lt;/strong&gt;', disconnect the USB and restart your tablet.

The Installer Service is a core part of the system and cannot be replaced or overridden like other apps can.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is by design.

You do not need a wifi access point to use WiFi Direct, and actually, if you are connected to wifi when turning on WiFi direct, it will disconnect you. You cannot be connected to both an Access Point and enable wifi direct.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The host device acts as an access point for other devices to connect to, then through other pieces of software, files and other data can be shared or streamed to the client device(s).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To use Wifi Direct, in &lt;code&gt;settings -&gt; wireless &amp;amp; networks&lt;/code&gt; you have to enable it. Then you should have an option to &quot;share&quot; via wifi. This works a lot like bluetooth sharing, where the other device has to be &quot;ready to accept&quot; your files. You will only be able to do wifi direct with devices that have explicit support for wifi direct. Android 4.0 is the the first version of the OS to have built in support for wifi direct. The Samsung Galaxy S II does have support for wifi direct as well. This was an added feature Samsung put in to their TouchWiz version of Android. While the settings for it are a little different then in Android 4.0, they basically work the same.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are other devices, like some TVs by Sony, that also have wifi direct support. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Wifi Direct is not hardware specific, its part of the OS. If the device supports wifi then it supports this. It is part of the CORE OS in Android 4.0. Any device that has Wifi and is running ICS, this will work with. Some Samsung devices (I think only the Galaxy S 2) have support for wifi direct even though they are not running ICS. This is because Samsung added the support for it in to their version of Android.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While the Galaxy Nexus is manufactured by Samsung, it does not run the Samsung modified version of Android. It runs a completely &quot;Google Experience&quot; version of Android. The WiFi direct that exists on the Samsung Galaxy S II is different then the one built in to Android 4.0.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/wireless/wifip2p.html&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt; is the android SDK docs that talks about support. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Wi-Fi Direct allows Android 4.0 (API level 14) or later devices with the appropriate hardware to connect directly to each other via Wi-Fi without an intermediate access point. Using these APIs, you can discover and connect to other devices when each device supports Wi-Fi Direct, then communicate over a speedy connection across distances much longer than a Bluetooth connection. This is useful for applications that share data among users, such as a multiplayer game or a photo sharing application.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here is a screen shot (taken from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&amp;amp;v=enEBelknmBQ#t=89s&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;this video&lt;/a&gt;) showing wifi direct setting available on a Nook Color running CM9.

I have found articles stating that devices can support UMS and MTP, but only support UMS if there is an external sdcard. You cannot mount the external sdcard with MTP and with UMS. MTP is for the internal storage. And I haven't read anything that can confirm or deny that you can use both at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You don't have to install drivers for keyboards, if they follow the &quot;default&quot; spec because windows already has the drivers for it. There are keyboards that come with their own drivers. As I said, it would be possible. I am not sure about how it would be done. It would, almost certainly, require a custom kernel at the very least for it to act like a keyboard and no additional drivers to be needed on the PC side.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, I agree with @davidbb that it is possible and I have already said that it is.

This is for 2 reasons. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The granularity of the Android permission system groups many system APIs under a small number of permissions. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;App lockers need low level access to disable/enable apps. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I assume that by &quot;full phone access&quot; you mean something like the &quot;&lt;em&gt;modify global system settings&lt;/em&gt;&quot; permission. This permission is probably going to be required by app locker applications to prevent someone from disabling the lock without authorization, but it's hard to say, since I didn't write the app. In the context of this question there are a few other permissions that make sense to me, e.g., &quot;&lt;em&gt;retrieve running applications&lt;/em&gt;&quot; and &quot;&lt;em&gt;automatically start at boot&lt;/em&gt;&quot;. It's likely that most app locker apps will request at least those permissions. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The rest of the permissions would be unnecessary just for locking an app, but may be used for other reasons. For example, I don't know why the app needs to &lt;em&gt;intercept outgoing calls&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For what it's worth, I ran the apk through &lt;a href=&quot;http://android-permissions.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://android-permissions.org&lt;/a&gt;, and the tool reported that this app is not over privileged, meaning that inside the app, there is code that makes use of all the permissions requested. This isn't good or bad, it just means that the developer probably isn't requesting unneeded permissions. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To answer the second part of your question, you are probably ok if you install that app, but we can never be sure. An update might make the app start doing something different that you find unacceptable, or the app may already be transmitting your phone number or IMEI to some remote server.

This mostly only applies to stock ROMs, as a non-stock ROM usually also subverts any kind of tethering fee (e.g. CyanogenMod).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Many third-party tethering apps will give you a display of data in/out when running so you can keep track of your data usage. Some also display battery level and temperature.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The built-in wireless tethering provides WEP/WPA encryption and the like, but some third-party apps support additional security such as MAC address filtering and the like.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Not all devices are supported by all third-party apps, but the stock tethering should obviously work on your device if it's enabled in the settings. Third-party apps may in some cases require a custom kernel in order to function the way you would expect (in infrastructure mode) and will create an ad-hoc connection on unsupported devices/kernels (not really ideal).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The built-in tethering may have better widget integration. On CyanogenMod ROMs, for example, you can enable/disable the wireless hotspot from the power control widget, whereas you'd need a separate one for a third-party tethering app.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you don't need the &quot;power&quot; tools and such then the stock tethering should function fine. I've generally used that on my EVO and I certainly have no complaints about stability or speed as compared to other apps I've tried.

The short answer is make sure that you setup both phones with the same Google account and sign into your NYT account in the app.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If an app is properly designed (and I would assume that the NYT app is) then user settings, such as favorites, should get transferred to your new phone automatically.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some apps use the data backup/transfer functionality that is built into Android, which relies on you setting up both phones with the same Google account.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some apps instead sync user data to their own servers, which typically relies on your signing into the app with their account.  The NYT does have its own system of users accounts and allows you to sign into your account in their Android phone app (oddly, this is missing in their Android tablet app).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If an app does not implement either of these then you should give it a low rating (using the built-in Android data backup/transfer functionality is super easy so apps really should implement it).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The principle exception to this is cases where your data is very large, i.e. media files, in which case the app should provide functionality or instructions to assist you in moving your data.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1633" LastActivityDate="2012-03-08T19:07:20.577" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I ran Wireshark on the host and the messages from the device are not correct.  The displayed mac addresses do not look right and the protocol is unknown so just displayed as 0x7aab.  After looking at the actual data in the message it appears that there are two zero bytes prepended to the message.  If those were removed it looks like everything would line up and work.  Has anyone ever seen this or know where in the code this can be fixed ?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;YET ANOTHER EDIT!!!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After booting everything up this morning, I did not create the fake ARP entries and ran the pings again.  According to Wireshark there was an ARP message coming from the host and an unknown message coming from the Droid, but they were identical lengths.  After examining the contents of the messages, the Droid was sending what appeared to be a valid ARP message as well but it was shifted by 2 bytes - two extra bytes at the beginning and the last two chopped off.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="13033" LastEditorUserId="13033" LastEditDate="2012-03-14T12:27:28.957" LastActivityDate="2012-03-14T15:13:55.083" Title="Android USB Gadget Driver" Tags="&lt;usb&gt;&lt;kernel&gt;" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Yes, a ROM author could put spyware, a backdoor, or just about anything else they wanted into a ROM if they wanted to maliciously exploit it. With AOSP ROMs I suppose the possibilities are somewhat magnified since the Android source itself could be modified to contain some kind of exploit or spyware.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's also worth noting, however, that running a manufacturer stock ROM &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_IQ#Rootkit_discovery_and_media_attention&quot;&gt;isn't necessarily a safer option&lt;/a&gt; if you're concerned about privacy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The question &quot;is Android safe by default&quot; is in some ways kind of a meaningless question.

It won't directly causes&#xA;  services to stop, however there is an API for them to find out the&#xA;  task was removed to decide if they want this to mean they should stop.&#xA;  This is so that removing say the recent task of an e-mail app won't&#xA;  cause it to stop checking for e-mail.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If you really want to completely stop an app, you can long press on&#xA;  recent tasks to go to app info, and hit force stop there.  For stop is&#xA;  a complete kill of the app -- all processes are killed, all services&#xA;  stopped, all notifications removed, all alarms removed, etc.  The app&#xA;  is not allowed to launch again until explicitly requested.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, it looks like the summary is that swiping an app out of the list will first kill all background processes for the app, then use &lt;code&gt;onTaskRemoved&lt;/code&gt; to notify the app that the background task was removed.

This must be a &quot;simple&quot; firmware problem, so I feel that I shouldn't have to take a spadger to it and wrench out the battery or solder in a debug cable just to get it to do something.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Any ideas?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT:&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;To note, on neither Windows or Linux does any device show up or get mounted when the device is plugged in during any of the procedures mentioned above. Nvflash sees nothing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT 2:&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;To those reading unfamiliar with the Galaxy Tab 10.1, it seems to be a mostly poorly designed device with only three physical buttons (Power, Volume Up/Down), and possibly zero indicator lights. This makes the number of options left for the consumer to debug it next to nil. I'll wait a week, and unless anyone has a better idea, I'm &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/cracking-open-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-101/6258363?seq=12&amp;amp;tag=content;siu-container#photopaging&quot;&gt;literally cracking the sucker open&lt;/a&gt; and physically removing the battery.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT 3:&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;Okay Android peeps, I couldn't wait any longer and went ahead and cracked the sucker open. They were right, the back plastic is very delicate (and snapped in two places, purely cosmetic though). It's fairly tidy inside, and the battery and guts are easily exposed. My attempt to read the voltage of the battery revealed it to be.. basically dead. No real voltage at all. My best guess at this point is that somehow the charging circuitry requires some kind of minimum current available in the battery before it will attempt to charge it (or perhaps enough to boot and allow the software to handle it). Seems pretty stupid to me. If I can get my hands on a replacement battery, or a something to charge the existing battery directly, &lt;strong&gt;OR&lt;/strong&gt; a wall wart to provide the 3.7 volts directly, I will try that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Other than that, looks like I'm totally SOL and I'd have better luck posting into the Hack-a-day QA forums than a respectable software specific support forums like Android Enthusiasts. Thanks again guys! Maybe I'll be back again later for assistance getting Ubuntu installed on my Droid 1.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FINAL EDIT!:&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;After a quick jaunt over to Hackaday, I got some confirmation that the actual read voltage across my battery terminals was BELOW the minimum for Li-Ion, so they battery was basically dead. Another quick run to ebay found me a &quot;new&quot; one for ~$35. 5 days later and I shoehorned the new battery in and tada! It works! .. sort of. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Due to the undue stress of being discharged (or perhaps being so lonely), the boot process was broken and it was stuck in an endless boot loop. AFter about 4 hours messing with it trying this method to do fastboot and user wipe, but finding out that windows failed to recognize the it as anything but &quot;Unkown Device&quot;, after another 2 hours of hacking around i come to find out it's my horrible cheap chinese knockoff cable that's the culprit!!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Found the original cable, plugged it in, fastboot works, try to wipe with fastboot -w, just hangs.

This is done both to prevent incompatibilities during the upgrade process, and to avoid losing root.  With that said, some custom ROMs do offer ways to be notified of updates.  For example, for ROMs that are integrated with &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Rom Manager&lt;/a&gt; update notifications are available through that app (available for the &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager.license&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Premium&lt;/a&gt; version only though.)  Other ROMs may even include their own update notification built-in.  This is really up to the developer of a given ROM, and you should be able to find this information on the ROM's support thread.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After the initial rooting and installation procedure, upgrading a ROM to a newer version is quite easy:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Download ROM's update.zip file and place it on the root of your SD Card.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Reboot device to Recovery (ClockworkMod in this case.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Perform a Nandroid backup.  This step is not strictly necessary, but highly recommended in case something goes wrong during the update process, or if you just aren't happy with a new version.  If that happens you can always restore a previous backup to get your device back to a fully functional version.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Clear Cache and Dalvik-cache partitions.  Again, not really necessary, but in some cases this helps prevent issues with installed 3rd-party (and system) apps in case the updated ROM changes things around too much.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Apply the update.  Pick the ZIP file you downloaded in step 1 and wait for the update to complete.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Flash the GApps package.  Optional, if you want the Play Store, Google Talk and other Google experience apps.

Having a DHCP lease is like renting, but you may have to move when the lease is up.  Unfortunately, the Tab's implementation is like a renter who leaves, then tries to get back into his old apartment (which in this analogy is a dynamically assigned IP address on your WiFi network) and finds it locked.  Instead of asking for a new lease, it just keeps knocking on the door, never to enter.  In this case, it means that your Tab won't connect to your WiFi network on wake.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The detailed explanation: It looks like Samsung's implementation of DHCP lease renewal is at fault here.  When a device wakes up and then tries to connect to WiFi, it will ask for a DHCP lease (if expired), which also gives it a dynamically assigned IP address.  This works fine when the Tab first connects.  However it looks like it never asks for a new lease and thus new IP address.  Instead it caches the IP address and keeps trying to reuse it.  DHCP is dynamic so it means that any particular device on the network cannot rely on a specific IP.  So eventually the lease will expire and/or the IP address that the Tab is using gets reassigned to another device.  When this happens, your Tab cannot connect to WiFi.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So the solution is to assign static IP until the Tab's implementation of DHCP lease renewal is fixed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An alternative solution is to root your device.  Then you can manually delete the cached file which contains the stale IP address following the instructions at: &lt;a href=&quot;http://steve-shaffer.com/2011/02/samsung-galaxy-tab-wifi/&quot;&gt;http://steve-shaffer.com/2011/02/samsung-galaxy-tab-wifi/&lt;/a&gt; (where I learned about some of these details as well).  This will cause the Tab to renew the DHCP lease properly and live in a brand new and shiny dynamically assigned apartment on your WiFi network.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="13611" LastActivityDate="2012-03-22T05:53:57.587" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I have discovered that there is virtually no difference really, and definitely not worth the $2.98. Feel free to check it out for yourself, because unlike iOS, Android has the option to refund your purchase within 15 minutes, I believe, of the time of purchase. I refunded mine because the only differences I could find were that the start-up screen after the white &quot;Rovio&quot; screen was not stretched (but every other screen/level I tried was), and also when you are in a level or at the start-up screen where you press &quot;Play&quot;, the pause buttons are slightly larger.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also believe it is pointless to purchase the Premium version on either a tablet or phone, because the only difference is that it is ad-free, to my knowledge. A helpful little tip that Rovio doesn't want anyone to know is that the ads the put in the free version require some form of internet connection to be generated in the game. So to solve this, you could just put your phone/tablet on Airplane Mode if you want since it's simpler, but all you really have to do is disable the WiFi AND data services on your smartphone, and boom - no ads. Obviously, on your tablet (assuming you don't have 3G/4G) all you have to do is disable WiFi. I actually have widgets from HD Widgets (which I highly recommend and is well worth the $1.99) that allows you to disable both data services and WiFi with the tap of a button.

Flashing bad software is the easiest way to brick your device.  A failed flash or one that gets interrupted may also brick your device.  Sometimes things just go wrong even if you do everything right; flashing software manually is not something for the faint of heart.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some devices are easy to &quot;soft brick&quot; but difficult to &quot;hard brick&quot;.  A soft brick is when the device fails to boot and you need to resort to flashing firmware, often through a manufacturer tool like Samsung's Odin, to fix it.  A hard brick is when it's totally broken; this usually only occurs if you overwrite the device's bootloader.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will it void my warranty?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you flash a custom ROM, you void your warranty.  If you flash a stock ROM over top of an &quot;unaltered&quot; (e.g., never rooted) stock ROM through the manufacturer-approved process, then you should be safe, but flashing stock under other circumstances is no different from flashing a custom ROM.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will I stop getting updates?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For stock ROMs, no, not in general.  You won't get stock updates for a custom ROM, but the custom ROM might have its own updates.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I go back to the stock ROM if I'm unhappy with the custom one?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Generally, yes. Most guides you'll find strongly recommend backing up your stock ROM when your phone is in recovery mode before you actually flash the new ROM. From recovery, you should be able to restore your stock ROM in all its glory should something go wrong during the flashing (but you can still boot in recovery mode) or if you are dissatisfied with your current ROM. Finding the right stock ROM for your device online is going to be much harder after the fact (and it might be hard to be sure it hasn't been tampered with), so be sure to do this before doing anything else.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anything else?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Custom ROMs will frequently provide features that the original software did not.  However, it is also often the case that not all hardware may be supported on your specific device.  Modified versions of the original ROMs are more likely to be fully compatible than something like CyanogenMod.

The CM7r2 HBOOT (along with several others) is maintained by &lt;a href=&quot;http://alpharev.nl/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;AlphaRev&lt;/a&gt;, and they note in their website's FAQ:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Will this touch my currently running ROM?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;We try to leave the current ROM and datastructures completely intact.&#xA;  It is, however, advised to ALWAYS nandroid backup your phone before&#xA;  you run this procedure.  You will then always have a correct/current&#xA;  backup to fall back on in case something breaks.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So it's &lt;em&gt;designed&lt;/em&gt; to flash without affecting your current ROM install, but it's a bit of a delicate process so there are no guarantees. There is generally always a certain amount of risk involved in these types of things, but especially so when dealing with the bootloader/HBOOT. Make a backup. If you can, copy the backup onto another device (your computer, for instance). Always prepare for the worst and hope for the best when it comes to data that you don't want to lose and you'll generally be fine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As per your question about whether or not it's worth it - this sort of depends. The reason that some ROMs support certain versions of HBOOT and not others is because the different HBOOTs are designed to create different partition layouts on your device. There is a table on the website which details the layouts, and which I'll summarize here:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Name               /system   /cache    /data    &#xA;---------------------------------------------------&#xA;Bravo Stock         250M       40M      147M    &#xA;Bravo N1Table       145M       95M      197M    &#xA;Bravo Data++        180M       5M       252M&#xA;Bravo Sense         180M       40M      217M    &#xA;Bravo Oxygen r2     100M       5M       332M    &#xA;Bravo CM7 r2        145M       5M       287M&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Certain ROMs are designed to take advantage of the differing partition layouts, making them incompatible with others. For example, a ROM with a lot of stock components and additional packages may need more than 145MB of space for its &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt; partition, so flashing it on the CM7r2 HBOOT would not work. It's generally best to stick with whatever the ROM author recommends, which does mean that switching may be necessary in some cases.   &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastActivityDate="2012-03-26T17:50:31.420" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However, every single Android app has an app name that identifies it on the Android system, in this case the &quot;unique&quot; name is &lt;strong&gt;com.seven.Z7&lt;/strong&gt;, which identifies Samsung's email app. What appears to have happened is that Russian developer OJSC Mobile Telesystems gave that unique identifier to its &quot;МТС Мобильная Почта&quot; app, and so these Samsung devices were tricked into thinking it was an update to Samsung's email client. Since Google Play allows for automatic updating of all apps, it was installed on many devices.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I couldn't find the app in the Play Store anymore, so perhaps Google has taken it down to resolve this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Below is the original version of this post, which would still be applicable in more normal circumstances.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If it's a system app for supporting Cyrillic text, which is what it sounds like, it could hardly be called malware.  Crapware, perhaps, if you don't need it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you don't need it, then no need to update (unless you want to be rid of the notification, though in that case I recommend rooting and removing the app).  No reason not to update either I'd say &amp;mdash; you already have it on your device, so unless it's doing something nasty in the new version in particular then you've already been exposed to any dangers it may contain :P.  Of course, updating will require more space on your device unless you are rooted and can entirely replace the original version with the update (normally the system keeps all original versions of system apps).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1465" LastEditorUserId="1465" LastEditDate="2012-03-26T22:24:57.397" LastActivityDate="2012-03-26T22:24:57.397" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Because the router has always had a &quot;Forever&quot; lease time, my money is on the update introducing a bug in the phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From my phone log (note there's a large time between the request and the renewal only because the log captures only a couple of minutes, so I had to capture a number of small log fragments before I tumbled to the DHCP connection):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;03-27 20:46:25.928 D/WifiStateTracker( 1637): DHCP request started&#xA;...&#xA;03-27 20:46:27.931 D/WifiStateTracker( 1637): DHCP succeeded with lease: -1&#xA;...&#xA;03-27 21:16:23.938 D/WifiStateTracker( 1637): DHCP renewal started&#xA;...&#xA;03-27 21:16:53.947 D/WifiStateTracker( 1637): DHCP renewal failed: Timed out waiting for DHCP Renew to finish&#xA;...&#xA;03-27 21:16:54.008 V/WifiMonitor( 1637): Event [CTRL-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE id=2 state=8 BSSID=00:00:00:00:00:00]&#xA;03-27 21:16:54.018 V/WifiStateTracker( 1637): Changing supplicant state: COMPLETED ==&amp;gt; DORMANT&#xA;03-27 21:16:54.018 I/wpa_supplicant(12515): CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys&#xA;03-27 21:16:54.018 V/WifiMonitor( 1637): Event [CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys]&#xA;03-27 21:16:54.018 I/wpa_supplicant(12515): CTRL-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE id=-1 state=8 BSSID=00:00:00:00:00:00&#xA;03-27 21:16:54.018 D/WifiStateTracker( 1637): Reset connections and stopping DHCP&#xA;03-27 21:16:54.028 V/WifiMonitor( 1637): Event [CTRL-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE id=-1 state=8 BSSID=00:00:00:00:00:00]&#xA;03-27 21:16:54.048 W/Smack/Packet( 2186): notify conn break (IOEx), close connection&#xA;...&#xA;03-27 21:16:55.084 D/WifiStateTracker( 1637): Disabling interface&#xA;03-27 21:16:55.088 D/NetworkStateTracker( 1637): setDetailed state, old =CONNECTED and new state=FAILED&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since changing my router to use a two week DHCP lease, the phone has had a stable WiFi connection for an hour and a half, which is considerably longer than I have seen since I started monitoring this condition.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Assuming there are no further problems, I will accept this in a couple of days, indicating that the problem is indeed resolved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(BTW, the log collector I used is &quot;Log Collector&quot; by Xtralogic Inc, and &quot;WiFi Analyzer&quot; is by farproc).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update: 2012-03-29 AM&lt;/strong&gt;: The root cause seems to be an inability to renew a DHCP lease - changing the lease time to 30 minutes caused the connection to drop precisely 30 minutes after connecting the phone to the router.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update: 2012-03-29 PM&lt;/strong&gt;: That there is a general problem renewing DHCP leases is born out by testing all day with a short lease time; every (or very nearly every) attempt at renewing the lease fails, and then disconnects and reconnects the WiFi service. Now knowing precisely what the problem is and what to search for, it may be that this is a long-standing problem with the Android WiFi service, present since 2.2 and still a problem even in 4.0.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="13774" LastEditorUserId="13774" LastEditDate="2014-02-02T12:01:34.167" LastActivityDate="2014-02-02T12:01:34.167" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Android itself does not require a Google account to use, only Google's proprietary applications do. CyanogenMod and other pure source builds of Android are actually forbidden from distributing the Google apps within the firmware package itself because of their proprietary nature, and if you install such a ROM without the associated Google apps add-on you won't even have the ability to add a Google account in your settings.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you don't want to be tied to Google then don't use the apps they produce, but also don't be surprised that they want you to sign in when using services that they provide.

In addition, Apple may not want you to sign in Google's servers with their Maps app. It would create a tie (however loose it may be) between you and Google's services, which I'm sure Apple is trying to discourage as much as possible to prevent customers from jumping ship to Android.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another angle you have to keep in mind is that Google is pushing pretty hard to tie together all of its online services as much as it possibly can. Based on their priorities and their business model, it makes sense that the Android version would try to integrate as tightly as possible with their other services and with the web. It's in their best interest (from a business perspective) to try to make Android apps and their web counterparts as seamless as possible in order to attract users to Android who are already heavily invested in Google's products.

If I understand the story correctly, unless the tablet can negotiate with the host device, the amount of power it can draw is limited.  A physical &quot;hack&quot; (now part of a USB standard) in the adapter can make it clear to the USB client (the tablet) that there is no host device (its a wall wart), so it can charge faster.  Without the hack, the device is limited in the amperage it can use.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;More details on the USB charing spec are &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Charging_ports_and_accessory_charging_adapters&quot;&gt;on wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I just verified some of this with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the no-name 2A USB wall charger I have.  If I plug my tablet into this &quot;unapproved&quot; USB adapter, then I get a little red &quot;x&quot; on the battery charge indicator in the system tray.  Additionally, I get the &quot;media scanner running...&quot; alert (which I think means that the Tablet thinks it might be connected to a computer).  I cannot tell at what rate (2.5mA, 500mA, 2A, etc) the tablet is actually charging at, though.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I plug the tablet into the 'approved' wall wart, I get no such red &quot;x&quot;, nor any &quot;media scanner&quot; alerts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All that said, in practice, I've found that the tablet will charge up on my no-name USB adapter.  I'm not sure if that's because I tend to turn the screen off (and I don't have 3G), and thus the power draw of the sleeping tablet is less than the 500mA, or if its actually getting the full 2A.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think the upshot is that any reputable wall charger or anything labeled as &quot;compatible&quot; with an iPhone or iPad will probably support the USB charging spec, and thus will fast-charge a Samsung Galaxy Tab.

To quickly answer your question, I haven't found a method to install a fastboot ROM from Ubuntu but it is possible to flash a custom ROM from it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Assuming there is fastboot ROM installed, you should first boot it into fastboot mode (if you have ADB running, just use &lt;code&gt;adb reboot bootloader&lt;/code&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;turn the phone off&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;hold the &lt;em&gt;camera button&lt;/em&gt; and then the &lt;em&gt;power on button&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;keep pressing the &lt;em&gt;camera button&lt;/em&gt; until you see the LG logo&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The phone will be in fastboot mode when you see a blank screen (just the back light will be on). After that, you should be able to use Ubuntu to flash a custom ROM.

We're still a small (but quickly growing!) company, and we don't have the resources necessary to support a full end-user sales model. It is much more efficient for us to focus on improving Swype and to partner with large organizations like Samsung and T-Mobile who already have customer support structures in place.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Device integration - Swype isn't just an app; it's a keyboard - the most widely used piece of software on a device. It interacts with nearly every single application on the phone. As such, it's more like a system component than an application. For each device release we do a tremendous amount of testing and we &lt;em&gt;always&lt;/em&gt; find issues due to the varying components - the OS version, the device hardware, the OEM UI implementation, etc. In addition, some features can't be implemented without an OEM's engineering assistance. We end up doing a large amount of work on each device to be sure that you have a great experience entering text using Swype. So, we appreciate your enthusiasm, but we are not ready to do direct-downloads at this time.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="8197" LastActivityDate="2012-04-03T05:50:24.477" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This puts the displayed barring out of step with the true direction the phone is pointing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;In programs that try to display the full orientation of the phone including the direction it's pointing (like Sky Map) the display is shakey, and seldom provides a true indication of where the phone's actually pointing.  Smoothing options result in slightly less shake, but the difference is marginal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;In spite.of this, games that depended on changes in orientation alone (like those games with the metal ball-bearings you need to guide through a maze--Labyrinth, if I'm not mistaken) worked flawlessly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I decided to upgrade to a Galaxy Nexus, and noticed that the compass works like it should, and Labyrinth games continue to work.

I deleted several applications for testing purposes and I knew that if I uninstall Android System it would break everything.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I did that epic &quot;mistake&quot; for testing purposes (don't try this).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The thing is how do I fix this? I have spent some time reading through forums and installed Flashtool and downloaded the ftf file (X10a_v2.1.update-1_2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf) in C:\Flashtool\firmwares directory.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What I have to deal with right now: - My mobile phone switched off when deleted Android System so I decided to boot it to see if any error messages comes up. - Now my phone won't power off due to the lack of Android System. So I have to use a torx screwdriver to remove the screws and take off the battery (because Flashtool requires the phone to be switched off) but unfortunately the Torx I have is one size bigger than the required one for Xperia's screws. - I guess I have to wait until the battery is dead or I should just get a proper Torx screwdriver.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The thing is that I have another Xperia x10 mini as well (works for now - didn't try any uninstall) and connected it to FlashTool and followed the instructions to flash it but I keep getting this error message:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY=&quot;MAJOR&quot;;ERR_CLASS=&quot;SECURITY_CLASS&quot;;ER R_DYNAMIC=&quot;SIN header verification failed&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I tried to figure out what's causing this and I end up with the &quot;locked bootloader solution&quot;.

This method uses Dropbox and&#xA;  Picasa3 to keep things synced up, and a side benefit is that photos&#xA;  are available from anywhere -- not just the device that took them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;To get started, you need to install the Dropbox client on your home&#xA;  computer. If you already have a Dropbox account, you can use the same&#xA;  login and you'll find that having Dropbox installed on your computer&#xA;  is a good thing anyway. Just visit this link and download the correct&#xA;  version for your computer platform. Install it, and you're done with&#xA;  the first step. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Next, you'll need to install the Picasa3 program from Google. It's a&#xA;  pretty good photo organizer and viewer, but what we're interested in&#xA;  is the way it can sync a folder to your Google+ photos. This is where&#xA;  the magic will happen. Visit this link and download the appropriate&#xA;  version, and install it. Windows and Mac users have it easy, but if&#xA;  you're running Linux you'll need to install Wine 1.3 or higher, and&#xA;  use winetools to install the bits from ie6 to get the account Oauth&#xA;  working. There's plenty of tutorials on the net for this, and if you&#xA;  hit a snag, holler at me. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Got those installed? Good. You're just about finished. The next step&#xA;  is to visit Instadrop and setup the Instagram to Dropbox sync.&#xA;  Instadrop is a web-app, running on Google's appspot engine, and is&#xA;  what makes this all work. You'll link the Instadrop app to both your&#xA;  Instagram account and your Dropbox account, and anytime you post a&#xA;  picture to Instagram it will get copied to a folder named &quot;Instagram&#xA;  photos&quot;. All you need to do is link your accounts, and the app does&#xA;  the rest. You can do that here, and if you're the suspicious type, you&#xA;  can inspect the source code on Github and see exactly what's going on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;A couple final steps setting up Picasa and your Google+ album. Open&#xA;  the Picasa program, and click File &gt; Add folder to Picasa. In your&#xA;  Dropbox folder, find the Instagram photo directory (if it's not there,&#xA;  upload a picture to Instagram to create it) in the tree and mark it to&#xA;  &quot;Scan Always&quot; (the blue circular arrow). This means that Picasa will&#xA;  hit that folder each time it scans for new content, and automagically&#xA;  import any pictures it finds. Click the OK button.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Now in the Picasa program, look in the upper right. You'll see a spot&#xA;  to sign-in with your Google account. Do that, and make sure the Sync&#xA;  to Web switch for the Instagram photos folder is set to on. Open your&#xA;  Google+ page, and make sure the Instagram photos album is set up to be&#xA;  shared with the folks you want to share it with, and that's it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;What's happening is that anytime you post a picture to your Instagram&#xA;  stream, the Instadrop web-app pushes it to the Instagram photos folder&#xA;  in your Dropbox. When your computer is on, Picasa uploads it to your&#xA;  Google+ album. Is it perfect? Not by a long shot. But it's a way to&#xA;  get that content merged without waiting for Google to have a public&#xA;  API for content posting and sharing on G+ from third party apps. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Note that these pictures aren't shared to your Google+ stream be&#xA;  default. Until we get some sort of G+ API from Google, that's not&#xA;  going to happen (at least not easily). But if you share your album,&#xA;  people can visit and check them out, and of course you can easily&#xA;  share a photo from the album yourself. Click on it and hit the Share&#xA;  button in the bottom right.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3646" LastActivityDate="2012-04-08T22:46:58.187" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I would suggest trying to find a copy of your old ROM in zip format then extracting the &lt;code&gt;build.prop&lt;/code&gt; from your old ROM and comparing it to your current one.

So naturally, the next question is &quot;What does &lt;code&gt;performDexOptLI()&lt;/code&gt; do?&quot; Well here's what that looks like:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;private int performDexOptLI(PackageParser.Package pkg, boolean forceDex, boolean defer) {&#xA;    boolean performed = false;&#xA;    if ((pkg.applicationInfo.flags&amp;amp;ApplicationInfo.FLAG_HAS_CODE) != 0) {&#xA;        String path = pkg.mScanPath;&#xA;        int ret = 0;&#xA;        try {&#xA;            if (forceDex || dalvik.system.DexFile.isDexOptNeeded(path)) {&#xA;                if (!forceDex &amp;amp;&amp;amp; defer) {&#xA;                    mDeferredDexOpt.add(pkg);&#xA;                    return DEX_OPT_DEFERRED;&#xA;                } else {&#xA;                    Log.i(TAG, &quot;Running dexopt on: &quot; + pkg.applicationInfo.packageName);&#xA;                    ret = mInstaller.dexopt(path, pkg.applicationInfo.uid,&#xA;                            !isForwardLocked(pkg));&#xA;                    pkg.mDidDexOpt = true;&#xA;                    performed = true;&#xA;                }&#xA;            }&#xA;        } catch (...) {&#xA;           //I've trimmed out a bunch of exception handling here, it basically just writes to&#xA;           //the log and sets the return value&#xA;        }&#xA;    }&#xA;&#xA;    return performed ? DEX_OPT_PERFORMED : DEX_OPT_SKIPPED;&#xA;}&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So this invokes the &lt;code&gt;dexopt&lt;/code&gt; utility on all of the applications that need it. It's difficult to find any simple documentation regarding &lt;code&gt;dexopt&lt;/code&gt;, but there's &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/dalvik/docs/dexopt.html&quot;&gt;a high-level overview here&lt;/a&gt;. Suffice it to say, it's being used by the Just In Time (JIT) compiler to create optimized .dex files that help improve the performance of the apps on your device and it outputs them into the VM cache. The reason it stores the .dex files in the cache is because otherwise it would have to &lt;em&gt;re-extract&lt;/em&gt; them any time you want to run the app (the .apk is just an archive, it is not an executable file!). Thus, it makes sense to just keep them in the &lt;code&gt;/data/dalvik-cache&lt;/code&gt; directory to reuse them, and &lt;code&gt;dexopt&lt;/code&gt; performs some optimizations during the initial extraction while it's at it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TL;DR&lt;/strong&gt; (or non-programmer summary, I guess): It's rebuilding the Dalvik cache.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastEditorUserId="114053" LastEditDate="2015-06-24T15:09:02.513" LastActivityDate="2015-06-24T15:09:02.513" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It may not find any matching raw contacts, in which case it will create an aggregate contact that contains just the original raw contact.  If it finds a single match, it creates a new contact that contains the two raw contacts.  And it may even find multiple similar raw contacts, in which case it chooses the closest match.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Two raw contacts are considered to be a match if at least one of these conditions is met:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;They have matching names.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Their names consist of the same words but in different order (for example, &lt;code&gt;&quot;Bob Parr&quot;&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;&quot;Parr, Bob&quot;&lt;/code&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;One of them has a common short name for the other (for example, &lt;code&gt;&quot;Bob Parr&quot;&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;&quot;Robert Parr&quot;&lt;/code&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;One of them has just a first or last name and it matches the other raw contact. This rule is less reliable, so it only applies if the two raw contacts are also sharing some other data like a phone number, an email address or a nickname (for example, &lt;code&gt;Helen [&quot;elastigirl&quot;] = Helen Parr [&quot;elastigirl&quot;]&lt;/code&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;At least one of the two raw contacts is missing the name altogether and they are sharing a phone number, an email address or a nickname (for example, &lt;code&gt;Bob Parr [incredible@android.com] = incredible@android.com&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;When comparing names, the system ignores upper/lower case differences &lt;code&gt;(Bob=BOB=bob)&lt;/code&gt; and diacritical marks &lt;code&gt;(Hélène=Helene)&lt;/code&gt;. When comparing two phone numbers the system ignores special characters such as &lt;code&gt;&quot;*&quot;&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;&quot;#&quot;&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;&quot;(&quot;, &quot;)&quot;&lt;/code&gt;, and whitespace.

The phone is stock Gingerbread, not rooted, and I don't download any dubious or non-Market apps.  While using my phone today it suddenly rebooted.  Upon reaching the unlock screen, neither the screen nor the buttons would respond to any kind of input, nor have they since.  I can't even turn on the screen by pressing the power button; I have to plug it in to the charger.  The only way to try to restart is to pull the battery.  It seems to me that the problem is with the unlock screen, which I think belongs to the launcher app.  The menu bar at the top of the screen seems to indicate that other systems are functioning properly -- the clock in the corner stays up to date, while the lock screen's clock doesn't change after booting.  The icons at the top indicate that bluetooth and wifi are active and the strength of the wifi signal varies when I move around.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's see, what else -- I wasn't doing anything unusual with the phone when it rebooted.  It has suddenly rebooted a couple times in the past couple days before this, but had no noticeable problems once it started back up.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Can anybody suggest what I should try next?

But IIRC, the problem with normal USB storage is Android has to partition your phone for internal storage and USB storage. Your computer can then umount the USB storage from phone and mount it in your computer. So in many phones without MTP, even though the internal storage had capacity like 16GB, only 1 or 2 GB was available for app installation. While some phone gave up to 8GB for app, that space was wasted for people who didn't need that much for app but needed space for music and photos.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With MTP mode, there isn't separate partition but a whole single partition. So if you have 16GB internal storage in your phone, you can use whole 16GB for apps, music and photos.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;MTP mode is available from Honeycomb and I don't think it's an optional component.

If your phone can &quot;see&quot; one (or more) known cell-tower IDs or Wifi AP SSIDs, then it can query Google's database to ask where that is and use that for your location. The cell network towers have a large range (kilometers in some cases) so that alone won't give a precise location.

This is a number that identifies computing devices – whether PCs, laptops, tablets, mobile phones, or wireless access points – interacting with a network. MAC addresses usually look like this: 00:01:02:0A:0B:0C. The number is usually fixed for the life of the device. A MAC address tells you nothing about the owner or user of the equipment concerned. It’s just a string of characters that’s technically necessary for web pages and other content to be properly delivered to your device over the Internet.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This data has been collected in two main ways: as their Google Street View car drives around it always has a precise GPS fix, at the same time it listens out for Wifi APs that broadcast their identity and records where it was when it picked them up, and does the same for phone network cell towers; in addition they &quot;crowd-source&quot; the data from Google Maps users on mobile devices, as the Google Maps users travel around with GPS enabled Google Maps will check which cell-towers they're connected to and which wifi points they can &quot;see&quot; and periodically upload this information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Google Maps on an Android handset is an example of a reliable channel, since we can be confident that the SSIDs and MAC addresses it sends as part of a location request haven’t been tampered with before being sent.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;So, for example, one way to ensure that your changed SSID is submitted to Google quickly, open Google Maps on an Android Device with WiFi enabled, and use the &lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;amp;answer=153802&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;My Location feature&lt;/a&gt; to establish a location fix in the vicinity of your WiFi access point. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;See also &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/1648/&quot;&gt;How does Android get the coarse location?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="156" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:29.120" LastActivityDate="2012-04-18T16:55:35.633" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Imagine the mobile network as a LAN, and access points are the nodes in the LAN that have direct access to the Internet, all communication between the inner network and the outer network must go through an access point.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Access points can have rules about what data can pass through it, how it works is similar to how a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewall_%28computing%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;firewall&lt;/a&gt; works. At a minimum, the firewall will have rules on which &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_%28computer_networking%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ports&lt;/a&gt; that applications can connect to. By default, HTTP uses port 80 and HTTPS uses port 443, but any protocol can use any port number as long as both the client and the server agrees on which one to use. A more aggressive firewall will also inspect the destination of a data packet, and an even more aggressive one could inspect the actual content of the packets, as long as they aren't encrypted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The job of a proxy is to tunnel a data transmission through a remote server; so if you configured your phone to use proxy 123.123.123.123 at port 80 or 443, the firewall will have no way of distinguishing between this and normal HTTP/HTTPS connection, especially with HTTPS proxy as the data is encrypted from the client to the proxy. The remote proxy server, which is ideally located in an unrestricted network, will then relay the data to their true destination.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The network operator can block a proxy by blacklisting their IP address and configuring their firewall to block any access to the IP address of a known proxy, but since there are 4 billion IPv4 addresses and the IP addresses used by some proxies change all the time, it is difficult if not impossible task to blacklist every proxy in existence. Anyone can also create their own proxy server using their own home connection or purchase a server that they use for proxying, this makes it impossible to filter all proxies. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Most networks that blocks only for browser connections does that to limit usage of bandwidth sucking applications, like &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrent_file&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;torrents&lt;/a&gt;; so, as long as your proxy usage doesn't burden the network too much and you're not using it to access illegal materials, they usually wouldn't hunt you down for it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="482" LastEditorUserId="482" LastEditDate="2012-04-20T12:22:34.333" LastActivityDate="2012-04-20T12:22:34.333" CommentCount="7" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But, after upgrading stock ICS (4.0.3 I9100XWLP7-Turkiye), in a single day it was ~50 MiB. Due to this reason I've switched K9 client. But, it constantly deleted all of my account settings in a random interval. After realizing it's a known bug for a long time, I've desperately returned stock email. After several tries, a friend of mine advice to &quot;mark all messages as read&quot; immediately after setting accounts to prevent excessive traffic usages. At first, this doesn't make sense to me, but he explained that some old Windows-based email clients were acting in that way (unread messages were constantly downloaded over and over again). Interestingly, it worked. But, after using it for a while (precisely 1-2 days), &quot;Onavo Count&quot; started to warn me again about that email client consumes too much traffic. While investigating the problem, I've noticed that for a single check, it consumes 1-3 MiB traffic even though I've marked all messages as read. And now email client reached ~300 MiB traffic usages in total (I've only 1 GiB/month data plan).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a summary:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I was happy with Gingerbread email client.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;ICS client consumes too much traffic for each check.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;K9 was tried.

Basically, each application gets what seems like a very large amount of memory, an &lt;em&gt;address space&lt;/em&gt;.  Behind the scenes, this address space is broken up into &lt;em&gt;pages&lt;/em&gt; that are transfered between real, fast, memory and a part of the hard disk called &lt;em&gt;swap space&lt;/em&gt; (i.e. slow memory) by the operating system and as needed.  In Linux, this swap space can be one or more specially formatted partitions and/or one or more files, or &lt;em&gt;swap files&lt;/em&gt;.  The operating system is smart enough to keep track of where it's storing what.  It also ensures that before a program tries to read/write from a place in memory, that the page being accessed is first moved to real memory.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, if you're using your word processor and open 10,000 documents, exhausting main memory, some of the less recently accessed documents may be transfered the swap space to give way for the ones you just opened.  If you switch over to your browser, perhaps all of the memory used by the word processor will be shunted to the swap, replaced by the working-state of the browser.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, this is done automatically by the operating system, with no real involvement from programs.  According to your programs, they're running on a machine with a very large amount of memory.  According to the user, when this swapping occurs, there will be brief delays as the operating system moves data between the two types of memory.  Back in the Windows 95 days, it was pretty clear when the swapping was occurring as the hard disk light would be pretty much solid for a few seconds.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, fast forward to phones.  On a phone running Android, there is usually no hard disk.  Instead, you have main memory--RAM, or that fast memory mentioned above--and some form of non-volatile storage.  It turns out that type of memory is slower than RAM, but not nearly as slow as a hard disk.  Although it would be tempting to use some or all of this non-volatile storage as swap space, I suspect manufacturers and Google, observed that one property of this non-volatile storage is that it degrades with repeated writes, and so opted not to use it.  This means that instead of having seemingly limitless memory, activities on Android only have access to RAM.  When the Android framework tries to start an activity and the operating system says &lt;em&gt;sorry, out of memory&lt;/em&gt;, Android responds by killing activities until it has reclaimed enough memory.  This is why you notice &lt;em&gt;Dolphin Browser&lt;/em&gt; actually reloading pages when you switch from and then back to it:  Whatever you switched to tried to use so much memory that Android had to start killing activities.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, Swapper.  What swapper does is dig into the operating system and re-enable virtual memory by creating a swap file on your SD card and telling the OS about it.  The OS then makes all programs (including the Android framework) feel that they each have a lot of memory, and handles moving data between real memory and the swap file.  &lt;strong&gt;This is why Dolphin doesn't get killed as frequently with Swapper enabled&lt;/strong&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As the Swapper page on Google Play explains, this could have a detrimental effect on whatever non-volatile memory the swap file is placed on.  If you're using an SD card, when you start getting write/read errors, you can just swap it out.  If you're using a phone with built-in non-volatile memory, it's a different story.  I'm not 100% sure what sort of impact repeated writes has to this sort of memory, but it's a risk you should be aware of.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="13956" LastActivityDate="2012-04-22T12:47:30.713" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

My workplace is in a 3G dead zone, but has 2G thanks to a repeater box someone has installed nearby.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For the past three months, I have left the phone with 'Sync' and 'Packet Data' switched on all the time. When at work inside the 3G dead zone, I sometimes switch on wifi. Before this incident, I've had no problems at all with battery power, despite leaving Sync on all the time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After posting the original revision of this question, I charged the phone up while it was switched off, went home and only switched it back on when I got home. I had sync and 3G data all night and the battery wasn't rapidly draining.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This morning, the only change I had made was to carry it with me into my workplace and put the phone on my desk. I didn't switch anything on or off, I &lt;strong&gt;only&lt;/strong&gt; carried it to my desk. It very quickly started heating up and I noticed that battery was rapidly draining as before.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I began to suspect that the dead zone was causing the problem. To test this hypothesis, I charged the phone up and switched off wifi, sync and packet data. During the day, I switched on wifi and sync in various combinations. (Text continues after picture.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/qDvlG.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Battery usage on second day.&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The kink in the graph is around 20 minutes where wifi and sync were both switched &lt;strong&gt;off&lt;/strong&gt;, but packet data was switched on. During those 20 minutes, the phone was heating up and the battery was draining. When I switched packet data off, normal battery use resumed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Conclusion: Something in my phone has a bug where the battery starts draining badly while in a 3G dead zone and packet data is switched on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Remember, this only started happening very recently. I've had this phone since January and have left both packet data and sync switched on almost continuously.

After all, 2g is just fine for voice and texts. But unsuccessfully trying to create a connection when there is no network costs a lot of power.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my experience, phones normally cope just fine with that. My theory is that the 2G signal normally contains some sort of flag that indicates whether there is also a 3G signal. The 2G repeater would incorrectly send this flag -- possibly because the tower it gets its signal from sends it too. Thus your phone wastes energy trying to connect to a signal that only exists somewhere else.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you cannot (or don't want to) replace the repeater by a more sophisticated model, you should turn off 3G altogether while in your office. GSM phones have a setting in &lt;code&gt;Wireless &amp;amp; networks&lt;/code&gt; -&gt; &lt;code&gt;Mobile networks&lt;/code&gt; -&gt; &lt;code&gt;Network Mode&lt;/code&gt; that lets you switch between WDCMA (3G) and GSM (2G).

It would be almost entirely dependent on how exactly the app was attempting to infect your phone and how successful its attempts were.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the simplest case, maybe the app is sniffing data or something of that sort. For that case, uninstalling would basically remove the threat since the app would be gone. Nothing is left behind when you uninstall, including the &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; directories for the app.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Slightly more complex would be an app that put a malicious payload somewhere on your system's publicly writeable storage. In that case removing the app would not necessarily be enough, depending on what exactly the payload did and how it was designed. Uninstalling could potentially cause the malicious code to become inert on reboot since the app may need to fire up a service on boot, but that's hard to say. Formatting your SD card and doing a factory reset would probably clean it up in its entirety.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The most nefarious case would be an app that gained elevated privileges on your device, either through an exploit or effective social engineering in which you grant access yourself. In that case a factory reset would not necessarily be enough, since the entirety of the &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt; partition would be unaffected. If the app were to stick a payload on &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt; then the only way you could really be sure you're clean is if you completely wiped all of the internal memory of the device and then reinstalled a new ROM, I would say.

No software, no configuration - true plug-and-play! &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Ethernet icon 'lights up' when connected so you can see it's good to go.

The attribute supports three values: &quot;internalOnly&quot;, &quot;preferExternal&quot;, and &quot;auto&quot;. At install time, the system checks the value of android:installLocation and installs the application .apk according to the preferred location, if possible. If the application has requested external installation, the system installs it into a private, encrypted partition in the external media. Once an application .apk is installed externally, the system lets the user change the storage location of the .apk and move it onto the device's internal memory if needed (and vice versa), through Manage Applications in the user settings.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;By default, the system installs all applications onto the device's internal memory, except for those that explicitly request external installation. This means that the system will always install legacy applications onto internal memory, since they do not have access to the android:installLocation attribute. However, it is possible to configure and compile a legacy application such that it is installed internally on older versions of the platform and externally on Android 2.2 and later platforms, if necessary. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Note that requesting installation onto the device's external media is not suitable for all applications, particularly because the external media may be removable and unmounting/remounting may disrupt the user experience and system settings.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;For more information about setting a preferred install location for your application, including a discussion of what types of applications should and should not request external installation, please read the &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;App Install Location&lt;/a&gt; document.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="12332" LastActivityDate="2012-05-01T03:08:31.563" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In the license request:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your application provides: its package name, a nonce that is later&#xA;  used to validate any response from the server, and a callback over&#xA;  which the response can be returned asynchronously.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Google Play client collects the necessary information about the&#xA;  user and the device, such as the device's primary Google account&#xA;  username, IMSI, and other information. It then sends the license&#xA;  check request to the server on behalf of your application.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Google Play server evaluates the request using all available information, attempting to establish the user's identity to a sufficient level of confidence.

If I was writing the application I would have a counter to let the person to use it offline 3 times or so before having to go online to get the license check in order to stop the kind of thing happening to you where you can't play offline. Of course if someone digs into the file where the counter is stored they could change the value back to 3 tries every time they use it and never have to pay but that's probably beyond the technical competence of most users.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="12357" LastEditorUserId="12357" LastEditDate="2012-08-31T16:48:38.613" LastActivityDate="2012-08-31T16:48:38.613" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Otherwise you'd have to manually transfer every song from your phone to your PC.&#xA;You simply start installing Dropbox and getting it to work. When it's all set up, you open Dropsync and select the folder with your song inside and a folder on Dropbox, which shall contain only your music files. Done? Now you fire up your PC and launch Google Music Manager. Select the folder you synced with Dropsync and check &quot;Automatically upload new song&quot;. What happens now? Everytime you download a song in your device, in the folder you selected, Dropsync copies it on your PC, which triggers Google Music Manager to upload it to its servers.

And I have downloaded and installed Instagram.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Normally when I take pictures on the stock Camera app, my photos gets sent to &lt;strong&gt;sdcard/DCIM/100ANDRO&lt;/strong&gt;. However, when I installed Instagram and started to use it, I notice that it created a new folder under &lt;strong&gt;sdcard/DCIM&lt;/strong&gt; and called it &lt;strong&gt;Camera&lt;/strong&gt; and that is where it places the pictures I take inside the app. What's worse is that, aside from creating the &lt;strong&gt;sdcard/DCIM/Camera&lt;/strong&gt; folder, it also creates the same image inside &lt;strong&gt;sdcard/DCIM/100ANDRO&lt;/strong&gt;. So whenever I take an Instagram photo, that picture gets 2 copies plus the third one with the applied filters on a separate folder called &lt;strong&gt;Instagram&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This may not have been an issue because I can always clear the &lt;strong&gt;sdcard/DCIM/Camera&lt;/strong&gt; folder every after some time. But the thing is, it's showing up on my Gallery app as two Camera folders.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/5pMzd.png&quot; alt=&quot;The top one is the one default used by the Camera app and the bottom one is created by Instagram.&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I &lt;em&gt;thought&lt;/em&gt; I fixed it when I placed a .nomedia file inside the Instagram-created &lt;strong&gt;Camera&lt;/strong&gt; folder. Sure, after I force reload the Gallery app, it will hide &lt;strong&gt;sdcard/DCIM/Camera&lt;/strong&gt; then. But when I take another photo on Instagram, it resurfaces on the Gallery app again.

If you're afraid what they might have done to it I suggest two options: either do a factory reset or buy a new phone. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even if you could look for evidence of tampering be aware that you can never be sure.

Even better set a pass phrase.   &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Root&lt;/strong&gt; This gives complete control to anyone who has physical access to your device. Plant fake call logs? Done! Fake Text messages? Done! Install undetectable surveillance software? Done! You get the idea. Superuser (the de facto standard app for managing root access) has an option to require a passcode as a prerequisite to granting root. Use it.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Disable USB debugging&lt;/strong&gt; While it's not too dangerous in itself if coupled with root it can provide access to the entire contents of your device even if you have a screen lock.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Encryption&lt;/strong&gt; If your device is running android 3.0 or later you have acces to full device encryption.

Why is this important? Apps not running as root &lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4039&quot;&gt;can't bind to unprivileged ports&lt;/a&gt; (&amp;lt;1024). It's possible to use alternative ports for SMB but Windows is hard-wired to just listen to the default ones. So I guess if you use Linux or a separate SMB client for Windows which allows to connect to a server with a custom port number it's probably possible.

Here's what I have tried:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have tried the WPA-PSK approach (AES encryption) and it does somehow make it work on my Xperia S (it did not connect to it instantly). Basically, there is an option of WPS (Wifi-Protection Setup) in my Xperia S which allowed me to do a Push Button Configuration (PBC) i.e. holding the router button for 3 seconds to allow my phone to access it. It assigned me an i/p address and thus made it work but spoiled it for my other housemates, so I had to get the setting back to WEP.I know it is more secure to use WPA, but I cannot change it without asking my landlord. Anyways, the point is that somehow my other phone connects to the router not instantly but via some route as given above. My question again is: Is it really not possible to connect it via WEP?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Kindly help as I have been struggling a lot to find for a proper solution over the internet.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="7331" LastEditorUserId="7331" LastEditDate="2012-05-11T09:47:25.890" LastActivityDate="2013-11-01T05:28:13.067" Title="WEP Wifi Connection Problem" Tags="&lt;wi-fi&gt;&lt;sony-ericsson-xperia-x10&gt;&lt;wep&gt;" AnswerCount="3" CommentCount="12" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I have no idea how to fix it but I’m hoping that what I share here might help someone who knows more about the way these things work to be able to solve the problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have spent much of my career working in Broadcast Radio, the problem I have heard my phone have with audio dropouts followed by either a ramp up of volume back to the previous level OR an audio dropouts followed by a momentary slight speed shift in the audio playback (sounds a bit like an old cassette recorded when the batteries are starting to fail) many people would probably not notice the later problem because it is very subtle and you have to know what you’re listening for. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, I believe this could be caused because of a lack of word clock sync between the phone and the bluetooth receiver. I say this because there have been times when I have had digital audio devices such as CD players that are connected to an audio console or digital amplifier and with both devices free running in terms of their clock synchronisation exhibit almost exactly the same symptoms. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You see all digital audio devices require that the audio data be put into frames much the same as regular Ethernet data is transmitted around a network is put into frames, however in order for the audio to be at the correct pitch and speed generally speaking both the playback device (Phone) and the receiving device (Bluetooth receiver) need to have the same word clock, otherwise you end up with the two devices running freely and the audio frames wont by in sync.&#xA;Depending on the Error correction implemented (sample rate conversion) on the receiver you can get really odd audio results. I think that this is what is causing this problem. Basically the Bluetooth receiver and the phone aren’t in sync so every few minutes you get a drop out. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It doesn’t seem to happen when you are talking on the phone which makes me think that when you have a call connection as this is bi-directional, the phone is probably synchronised to the Bluetooth device word clock. But when you are listing to music the connection is mono-directional so there is no sync. &#xA;Anyway just a thought. Maybe someone out there who understands the way these units synchronise can figure out a fix. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="14966" LastActivityDate="2012-05-10T08:04:26.847" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

From the application program's perspective, there is just one continuous connection.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only reason I can think of about what you're seeing in the laptop jabber client is that it did not use keepalive when opening a long running TCP connection. When there is a long period of no transmission, one of the intermediary nodes in the network (usually the firewall) may decide to terminate the connection (usually to save resources to serve other active connections) and the server therefore didn't have the chance to tell the client to terminate cleanly. Not using keepalive for a long running connection will make it impossible for the client to detect that the connection has been dropped because the only way for a client to detect a dropped connection is if it tried to send a packet and failed permanently.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Keepalive will cause the TCP stack to periodically ping the server with zero length ACK packets, therefore intermediary nodes will consider your long running connection to still be active and not terminate it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="482" LastEditorUserId="482" LastEditDate="2012-05-12T04:00:27.977" LastActivityDate="2012-05-12T04:00:27.977" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But I work with XMPP and Android, so here is my answer:&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/a/22952/440&quot;&gt;Lie Ryan already stated&lt;/a&gt;, a handover from one mobile cell to another is almost always transparent to the TCP stack on Android devices. But there are situations where the IP of your Android device will change. This are typically GSM/UMTS &amp;lt;-&gt; WiFi switches, which will cause the TCP connection to become unusable by the XMPP client.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On Android the standard XMPP library that most clients use - besides having their own proprietary one - is &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/Flowdalic/asmack/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;(a)Smack&lt;/a&gt;: Clients that use (a)Smack with the default configuration will &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; notice a connection change in a timely manner. But there is hope: XMPP Ping support is in Smack trunk and will be shipped with the 3.3 release. Most aSmack apps already use an aSmack version that has support for it, and just need to implement according measures.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the other side it's the XMPP servers job to set your presence to unavailable (offline) after a (server defined) timeout for reaching the last client of the JID in question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So it is not necessary to build workarounds if you are using a proper XMPP client, but you may have to live with ghost status situations that should resolve after a few minutes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is a nice XEP (XMPP Extension) that would be the silver bullet for mobile XMPP Connections: &lt;a href=&quot;http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0198.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;XEP-0198 - Stream Management&lt;/a&gt;. You can read about it &lt;a href=&quot;http://op-co.de/blog/posts/XEP-0198/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;in Ge0rg's Blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's being &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/Flowdalic/smack/tree/xep0198&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;worked on for (a)Smack&lt;/a&gt;. But it will take a while until it's stable and you need also server support for XEP-0198.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="440" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:29.120" LastActivityDate="2013-02-05T00:11:57.137" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It can be changed (at least on GSM networks, according to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/9895/android-how-to-change-ring-time-for-calls-before-sent-to-voicemail-att-t-mobile-gsm-networks/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this Tech Recipes article&lt;/a&gt;), using an MMI code (Man-Machine Interface code).  Here's the procedure that worked for me:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On your Android phone, go to your Phone app, dial &lt;code&gt;*#61#&lt;/code&gt;, and hit the Call button.  Android should briefly display &quot;MMI code started&quot;.  Then, it should display your current voicemail number and the delay time.  Note down the voicemail number since you'll need to enter this in next.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Next, go to your Phone app and then the keypad.  Now dial this number from the keypad to change the time your phone will ring before it goes to voicemail:&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;code&gt;**61*1yyyYYYyyyy*11*xx#&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;... and then hit the call button.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the above code, you will put your voicemail number where the &lt;code&gt;yY&lt;/code&gt;s are and the time delay in seconds for the &lt;code&gt;xx&lt;/code&gt;s.  Once you hit call, it will give confirmation as to whether it was successful or not.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Delay is in five second increments with the maximum being 30 seconds (ie. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 secs).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So for example, if my voicemail number is &lt;code&gt;555-444-5555&lt;/code&gt; and i want to set it to the maximum 30 seconds, i would dial this on my Android phone's keypad:&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;code&gt;**61*15554445555*11*30#&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Apparently, this will work for AT&amp;amp;T, T-Mobile, and any other GSM / SIM Card Carrier and may work on other phones besides Android devices.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Personally I am in the UK and so my voicemail number starts +44, so my MMI code to change the voicemail timeout was more like this:&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;code&gt;**61*+447890123123*11*20#&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It worked perfectly for me, and set the voicemail timeout to 20 seconds.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="7031" LastActivityDate="2012-05-16T09:59:05.473" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There are a couple of drawbacks to this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The supplied cable is not very long. My Nexus S phone came with a really long micro-USB cable and it's great, because I can plug the phone in and put it up on a high shelf out of reach of the kids (who know not to touch the wires).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The cable is a proprietary plug on one end, and standard USB device plug on the other end. But don't be fooled: it won't charge from the PC. The Asus adapter (which is AC-USB power) detects the transformer and negotiates a higher current/voltage. The Transformer won't charge in a standard USB plug. You can, however, use the Asus adapter to charge normal USB devices without problems.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am not sure why Asus went with a proprietary cable for charging. I suspect it's because that port is meant to be a multipurpose port for the dock, charging, and accessories, and that using a proprietary port makes all that much easier. However there aren't really any accessories for it and anyway they could have included a micro-usb port along with the dock/accessory port. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In any case, you would still need the wall plug adapter because of the higher power requirements for charging this device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="6429" LastActivityDate="2012-05-18T17:45:23.000" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Remember, popular custom ROMs (like Cyanogen Mod) are generally backed by an expert developers team or community. So, even if you have expertise of doing every such things in your rooted device, its very difficult to match a team or community. And, don't forget those nasty bugs and security loopholes...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The main advantage of custom ROMs: Those who have expertise of doing everything with rooted device, generally cook their own ROM. It's because custom ROMs can be deployed to multiple devices. Think how you would port your customizations to other devices... Its a big hassle than cooking own ROM.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3303" LastActivityDate="2012-05-22T05:02:26.520" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In Gingerbread's email client, you'd had set leave copy of email on server. So, your ICS email client is downloading all past emails from server. Unfortunately, POP3 doesn't allow selective downloads. Your mails are being fully downloaded (not just header) with attachments too. That's the reason of high traffic. You should now un-check leave copy on server (to make sure, it'd not download an email repeatedly after its removed from local cache). After full download, everything will become normal.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you can, I'd recommend to use IMAP instead of POP3. IMAP syncs everything (e. g. email read status) with server-client. If you delete an email locally, It'd be deleted from server too (provided its in configuration).

I'm posting my results so far here as a &quot;community wiki&quot; answer for two reasons: first, if someone else wants to join in, there's a place to talk; second, if I get pulled away from this project, there'll be hints for someone else to start working.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The backup logic on the host is entirely contained within &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/android/platform_system_core/blob/master/adb/commandline.cpp&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;https://github.com/android/platform_system_core/blob/master/adb/commandline.cpp&lt;/a&gt;, in the function named &lt;code&gt;backup&lt;/code&gt;. The function is &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt; simple: it validates the command line options, sends the command mostly as-is to the adb daemon on the phone, and writes the phone's output to the file. There isn't even error-checking: if, for example, you refuse the backup on the phone, &lt;code&gt;adb&lt;/code&gt; just writes out an empty file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the phone, the backup logic starts in &lt;code&gt;service_to_fd()&lt;/code&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/android/platform_system_core/blob/master/adb/services.cpp&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;https://github.com/android/platform_system_core/blob/master/adb/services.cpp&lt;/a&gt;. The function identifies that the command from the host is &lt;code&gt;&quot;backup&quot;&lt;/code&gt;, and passes the unparsed command to &lt;code&gt;/system/bin/bu&lt;/code&gt;, which is a &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/cmds/bu/bu&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;trivial shell script&lt;/a&gt; to launch &lt;code&gt;com.android.commands.bu.Backup&lt;/code&gt; as the main-class of a new Android app process. That calls &lt;code&gt;ServiceManager.getService(&quot;backup&quot;)&lt;/code&gt; to get the backup service as an &lt;code&gt;IBackupManager&lt;/code&gt;, and calls &lt;code&gt;IBackupManager.fullBackup()&lt;/code&gt;, passing it the still-unused file descriptor (very indirectly) connected to the &lt;code&gt;backup.ab&lt;/code&gt; file on the host.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Control passes to &lt;code&gt;fullBackup()&lt;/code&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/services/backup/java/com/android/server/backup/BackupManagerService.java&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;com.android.server.backup.BackupManagerService&lt;/a&gt;, which pops up the GUI asking the user to confirm/reject the backup. When the user do so, &lt;code&gt;acknowledgeFullBackupOrRestore()&lt;/code&gt; (same file) is called. If the user approved the request, &lt;code&gt;acknowledgeFullBackupOrRestore()&lt;/code&gt; figures out if the backup is encrypted, and passes a message to &lt;code&gt;BackupHandler&lt;/code&gt; (same file.) &lt;code&gt;BackupHandler&lt;/code&gt; then instantiates and kicks off a &lt;code&gt;PerformAdbBackupTask&lt;/code&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/8e7057ccf3824d1421a12abad7a2ba8b07e877c6/services/backup/java/com/android/server/backup/BackupManagerService.java#L4004&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;same file, line 4004&lt;/a&gt; as of time of writing)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We finally start generating output there, in &lt;code&gt;PerformAdbBackupTask.run()&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, between &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/8e7057ccf3824d1421a12abad7a2ba8b07e877c6/services/backup/java/com/android/server/backup/BackupManagerService.java#L4151&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;line 4151&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/8e7057ccf3824d1421a12abad7a2ba8b07e877c6/services/backup/java/com/android/server/backup/BackupManagerService.java#L4330&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;line 4330&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, &lt;code&gt;run()&lt;/code&gt; writes a header, which consists of either 4 or 9 ASCII lines:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;&quot;ANDROID BACKUP&quot;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the backup format version: currently &lt;code&gt;&quot;4&quot;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;either &lt;code&gt;&quot;0&quot;&lt;/code&gt; if the backup is uncompressed or &lt;code&gt;&quot;1&quot;&lt;/code&gt; if it is&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the encryption method: currently either &lt;code&gt;&quot;none&quot;&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;&quot;AES-256&quot;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;(if encrypted), the &quot;user password salt&quot; encoded in hex, all caps&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;(if encrypted), the &quot;master key checksum salt&quot; encoded in hex, all caps&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;(if encrypted), the &quot;number of PBKDF2 rounds used&quot; as a decimal number: currently &lt;code&gt;&quot;10000&quot;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;(if encrypted), the &quot;IV of the user key&quot; encoded in hex, all caps&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;(if encrypted), the &quot;master IV + key blob, encrypted by the user key&quot; encoded in hex, all caps&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The actual backup data follows, either as (depending on compression and encryption) &lt;code&gt;tar&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;deflate(tar)&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;encrypt(tar)&lt;/code&gt;, or &lt;code&gt;encrypt(deflate(tar))&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TODO&lt;/strong&gt;: write up the code path that generates the tar output -- you can simply use tar as long as entries are in the proper order (see below). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tar archive format&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;App data is stored under the app/ directory, starting with a _manifest file, the APK (if requested) in a/, app files in f/, databases in db/ and shared preferences in sp/.

The phone is like an app, it will run until it times out and brings you to the lock screen. It happens a lot in games and stuff when you are not active and the phone thinks you are away so it turns the screen off to save battery. It happens to me when I talk on the phone for a long period of time. You can either completely disable the lock screen, or keep it on. I don't believe that there is alternative. The lock screen does this for your own &quot;safety&quot; and there are no exceptions.

I will just put it simply &amp;amp; cut straight to the chase...it cannot play video well at all. I have rooted mine, in hopes it would play video files too, alas it is not possible. The cpu in the device is not powerful enough to handle decoding XviD (a common .avi file format), let alone higher cocmpression H.264 (.mkv files, sometimes .mp4). I use mine for an alarm clock, as it is not much more useful than this duty/task. If you're playing a mp3 file using the built-in player, and hit the HOME icon, it reboots. I had high hopes for this device, but it is just junk. I've considered selling mine on craigslist, but I don't want to dump this nightmare on anyone else either, I'm just not like that. If you want a GOOD tablet, that IS able to play most video's, get an Acer a500. You can find them refurbished now for about $250 or so. They cannot play HD video, but can play almost every regular definition file you throw at it, using BSPlayer, or Mirage beta player. I love my a500 and use it everyday, the whole family uses it in fact, and they all really enjoy it. The pandigital is nothing short of a paperweight. I have heard their other models are just as bad. The Nova is supposed to be capable of playing videos, but it has issues too. Just avoid this brand totally, and go with Acer or Samsung. Acer is much faster than Samsung, whereas the Samsung screen is a little better than the Acer. The Samsung devices are quite expensive, and most of them come with a cellular phone built in, which was something I did not want in my tablet. You can get the Acer devices at Walmart, but your best bet is ecost.com as they have them on sale right now. The 500 is a great dual core 1GHz processor, the 501 is dual core 1GHz with cell phone, the 510 is QUAD core 1Ghz, and 710 will be out soon with 1.3GHz quad core.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="15588" LastActivityDate="2012-06-02T01:49:20.760" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

These apps' primary purpose is managing to do lists and projects, but they have secondary minor features that use these permissions (I think it is for scheduling responses to missed calls and sharing tasks by SMS).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't want to allow any non-official app on my phone to make phone calls or send SMS. It's just not something I need 3rd party apps to do for me, and I'm not interested in these secondary features. The developers look reasonably legit - but I generally prefer not to feel like I'm unneccessarily handing a company I don't know an open wallet. But I would, ideally, like to be able to use these apps for their primary features, which appear to be very good and better than the competition for what I want. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there any way to download these apps and prevent these permissions from being used? Or to make it so any time they did try to make a call or send an SMS, I get some kind of system confirmation notice and the opportunity to stop it before it happens. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(please note this isn't a question about to-do apps, I'm aware there are loads of alternatives that don't use these permissions. It's a question about &lt;strong&gt;any kind of app&lt;/strong&gt; you want for any reason, that requires call and SMS permissions for a non-essential minor feature you're not going to use)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ideally I'd prefer &lt;strong&gt;not to need to root the phone&lt;/strong&gt; to do this. I've looked at the app &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.permissionsGVyaWNzb24ucGVybWlzc2lvbnMiXQ..&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Permission Denied&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (requires root acces) and while I love the idea of what the app does, it sounds like a complicated road that I don't have time to go down. Likewise for custom ROMs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't mind if it's a blunt solution that stops any app except the Android phone interface itself from making calls or sending SMS. In fact, that would be ideal. I thought about trying to use an app like &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Tasker&lt;/a&gt; to set up a trigger on any ongoing call or SMS that cancels it if it wasn't called directly by the Android phone interface, but I doubt that it would work (and of course Tasker uses these permissions itself...).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also ideally I'd prefer not to need to spend lots of time in airplane mode unable to receive normal calls or messages - but I'll accept a strong solution that involves using airplane mode some of the time if there is no better approach.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also don't mind if a solution causes the app to crash or force close any time it tries to use one of these permissions. If it thinks it needs to make a call or SMS, that itself is a sign that something is wrong. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/3294/are-there-any-tools-to-sandbox-a-malware-application-even-more-than-the-granted&quot;&gt;This earlier question covers somewhat similar ground&lt;/a&gt; but with a focus on data privacy, monitoring, and proper sandboxing for rooted phones.

The two most important knob is:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;RAM: the emulator always allocates all of the emulated device's RAM into the host's RAM even if it's unused by the emulated device. If you specify the emulated device to have a RAM larger than the free RAM that you normally have on the host without running the emulator, then the host OS will have to swap and invariably causes trashing.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Screen size: use lower resolution screen, the default screen resolution for Android 3.x and 4.x is way too high to run smoothly in even high-end hardware.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've been able to successfully develop several simple apps on my old laptop, a 1.8Ghz dual core with 1GB RAM.

The emulator that comes with the SDK emulates ARM architecture, therefore there is an overhead in translating ARM to x86 instruction; most Intel and AMD CPU used in laptop uses the x86 architecture and have support for x86 emulation to significantly reduce emulation overhead.

When we wanted to listen&#xA;  to locally stored audio, we simply mounted the USB connection and used&#xA;  the AcuraLink receiver to browse our folders. Likewise, a user could&#xA;  do the same thing with a vehicle that has an auxiliary input and a USB&#xA;  connection, but no Bluetooth.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's sounding like mass storage mode might not be an option for your SGSIII, but using the Juke's USB connection for power to offset the use of Bluetooth for media might be a way to accomplish what you want.

I'm technically-minded but new to this OS. I'd like to find a calendar that runs in limited security permissions, so that my calender isn't synced to anywhere over the internet. I am happy to take responsibility for my own backups.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have signed up for a Google account to run the stock Calendar app (it mandates it), to access Google Maps and to access the market. I've set the Google account to &quot;Sync is OFF&quot; in General Sync Settings, and I've turned off Auto Sync. I've kept Background Data turned on, and turned off Google syncing in the Calendar options. I am hoping this combination of settings means that my calendar will not be copied off the device, though I'm not confident this is the case.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I wasn't aware until after purchasing that app-level security permissions could &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; be modified in Android - some light research just now suggests that one needs to root the device to get that feature. (I may well do that, but I want to get a working set-up first). Since the sandbox permissions for Calendar are &lt;em&gt;do what you want&lt;/em&gt;, I've been looking at alternatives. &lt;strong&gt;Jorte Calendar&lt;/strong&gt; requires wide permissions, and &lt;strong&gt;Smooth Calendar&lt;/strong&gt; looks like it just relies on the standard Calendar app as storage, as I think does &lt;strong&gt;GO Calendar Widget&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm okay with &lt;em&gt;limited&lt;/em&gt; data flowing to Google/Microsoft/BigCorp - such as map usage or market searches. But I'd plan to avoid using remote storage for private data: my contacts, texts, calendaring and so forth (there's something about Calendar refusing to start without a Google or FB account that is a touch irksome). I could use a local calendar on my old Sony K660 without wondering if it was being copied without consent - are there calendar apps that will do this? Or is rooting &amp;amp; resetting perms for Calendar my best option?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Addendum&lt;/em&gt;: in Privacy Settings, I've turned off Back Up My Data. Turning it on then off again reveals this dialogue box message: &lt;em&gt;Are you sure you want to stop backing up your settings and application data and erase all copies on Google servers?&lt;/em&gt;. So that's a reassurance that file system data won't get synched by the stock OS - just Contacts and Calendar to go &lt;code&gt;:-)&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Post Addendum&lt;/em&gt;: I suggested in the comments that I might use the Corporate feature, in which one can add a Microsoft Exchange account. However this appears sadly to be subject to similar privacy objections that I apply to the Google account requirement. The user is asked for an email and password, and is confronted with this message:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;By activating this application you accept that part of your mobile phone data (comprising IMEI and model name) will be stored, processed and used by Samsung for the purpose of reporting activation of the application to the licensors of the application software itself. Such data held by Samsung will be dealt with strictly in accordance with Samsung's privacy policy. A copy of the policy is available upon request. Continue?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Admittedly this is a small privacy risk compared to the wholesale copying of a calendar or contacts, but it still emphasises the point that the corporate storage of ones data is essentially mandatory. (Added here for the benefit of search engines on this topic.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said, it may still be worth a go. For those of us without access to a real private Exchange server, one would need to find something to emulate one, so that the Google account can be removed. Once I've settled into using the phone, I will look into &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messaging_Application_Programming_Interface#Open_Source_MAPI_implementations&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;these alternatives&lt;/a&gt; - and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openchange.org/index.php/home/what-is-openchange&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; in particular.

They have done this before (e.g. the pseudo-&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDMI&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;PDMI&lt;/a&gt; connector on their tablets) and are now labelling products as MHL that are incompatible with the MHL standard and other products.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As well as causing confusion and extra expense for their users, this undermines this useful emerging standard, is inconvenient and inefficient, and it is bad for the environment as it blocks the re-use of accessories.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But I don't mean to turn this into an anti-Samsung post at all - I think the SGS3 is a great phone.  They are, of course, just trying to increase their accessory revenues.  It is up to consumers now - if this move does not increase their accessory revenue then they probably won't repeat it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Answer edited to add this site about the issue:&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.galaxymhl.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.galaxymhl.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1633" LastEditorUserId="1633" LastEditDate="2012-07-06T21:39:23.483" LastActivityDate="2012-07-06T21:39:23.483" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

New views are launched by an intent that, for example says 'open this file in a file view' or 'select a picture in a gallery viewer' or 'authenticate a my app with Facebook' and so forth. &lt;em&gt;Without&lt;/em&gt; saying which &lt;em&gt;other&lt;/em&gt; app should handle it.

However, as with most such solutions there are many cons to be aware of.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;SD Card needs to be re-partitioned in a very particular way (data will be lost during partitioning, so back it up.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Speed rating of the SD Card will play a large role in the system's overall performance and stability.  Slower cards will cause delays in apps starting up, for example.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The phone will not be able to function if you remove the SD Card, since the 2nd ext partition is now used by the phone as if it was part of its internal memory.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Extra wear and tear on the SD Card from excessive writes.  Unlike the EPROM in Flash memory, the SD Cards aren't really designed for many write cycles, so as time goes on you will find the card wearing out sooner than usual.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Device will not be as stable.  You may see ANR (application not responding) messages more often, as even the fastest SD Cards are still much slower than the internal flash memory.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Data corruption on the SD Card is a real issue, and can render your phone inoperable, requiring a complete re-flashing of the ROM and loss of all data.  So have recent backups always, and preferably not on the SD Card itself.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3646" LastEditorUserId="3646" LastEditDate="2012-06-20T14:10:08.927" LastActivityDate="2012-06-20T14:10:08.927" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Any combination of&#xA;  the above options can be included in the blocked call list.  Multiple&#xA;  numbers are separated by the &lt;code&gt;/&lt;/code&gt; symbol which indicates &quot;or&quot; in&#xA;  Tasker’s pattern match.  You can also use the &lt;code&gt;*&lt;/code&gt; symbol to indicate a&#xA;  match with any number of characters in the telephone number to create&#xA;  area code (or country code) call blocks.  Here are examples of what&#xA;  you need to enter in the Caller field of the Incoming Call context&#xA;  dialog box in order to create each type of call block list:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;To block a single caller with the number 123-456-7890 enter:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;1234567890&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;To block two telephone numbers, enter the telephone numbers with a &lt;code&gt;/&lt;/code&gt; symbol between them:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;1234567890/1234567891&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;To block three telephone numbers, enter all three telephone numbers with the &lt;code&gt;/&lt;/code&gt; between them:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;1234567890/1234567890/1234567892&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;To block calls from individuals who are using a caller ID blocking feature enter the number zero:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;0&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;To block calls from individuals who are not in your contact list, a pre-configured variable that matches all numbers in your contact list&#xA;  is used (&lt;code&gt;C:ANY&lt;/code&gt;) with the exclamation point.

This is relatively easy, especially with the galaxy because it's so popular. Head on over to the XDA Forums (www.xda-developers.com) and navigate to the galaxy 10.1 section. This youtube video also will do it for you: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krQDP7xYlWg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krQDP7xYlWg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;BE CAREFUL.

There are many other potential security breaches that can simply be avoided or minimized by disabling root access.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, in some systems, root can modify system files; modifying system files can make it impossible to completely revert to factory default (because those modifications would persist after the revert). Without root, one would have to use the bootloader to flash system file; greatly reducing the risk of malicious apps installing itself in a way that will persist over a factory reset.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Shipping phones without root also reduces the cost of customer support, as the number of ways that a customer may shoot him/herself in the foot are greatly reduced.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&quot;With great power comes great responsibility&quot;, The sudo Lecture, also Ben Parker.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="482" LastEditorUserId="482" LastEditDate="2012-06-22T17:17:19.020" LastActivityDate="2012-06-22T17:17:19.020" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Its an ordinary apk app&lt;/em&gt;, that is somewhat, IMHO, misleading. I'll explain why in a minute. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sony has this strange and unusual concept of recovery/bootloader. In general speaking, there is two partitions out of many, for the sake of the edit, I am specifically focusing on boot and recovery. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The general consensus is this, there's two partitions, boot and recovery, boot is what you know, is responsible for bringing up the system when the power key is pressed. This is highly specialized machine code that is tied intimately, as per the manufacturer/OEM. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Recovery on the other hand, is where you can do basic recovery, that is, clean the data and cache partition, and re-flash the stock ROM as indicated by the OEM.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In Sony's case, the reason, that your so-called CWM is in fact an APK is because, it would p^&amp;amp;$ off a lot of users if it was installed directly on the recovery partition, ... the big gotcha... yes, there is, for some obscure reason, Sony decided to bundle Boot and Recovery into the one partition, that's where the danger lies with Sony handsets, flash it directly into that, its buh-bye to your handset. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for accepting OTA updates if bootloader is unlocked, there's some mechanism or checking going on in respect to the OTA zip file (I'd guess) for the presence of locked bootloader hence the warning I mentioned above. Use the Sony PC Companion suite software for Windows if you express a desire to go with the official updates from Sony.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So there you have it, a bit of knowledge and empowerment in understanding the nuances of Android when it comes to manufacturers. Yeah, I don't understand myself why the two are &quot;merged&quot; into one partition as a result, hence there will be the danger of messing up Xperia handsets. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What got me questioning about it was, why the .... was it being dumped into /system directory which is where the real ROM lies in, then it dawned on me the reason, that's why there's a big fat warning and notice about unlocking bootloaders via the Sony way. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;IMHO, there really should be two partitions - boot and recovery, after all, if that's the case, it would make modding and customizing even easier but maybe due to whatever reasons Sony had, they decided to have that combined into one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(Samsung has definitely the two partitions but its not as easy as it sounds but that's a discussion for another time :) HTC is the same as Samsung, Zte - which I have the Blade in my possession has the two hence its popular on modaco due to the ease of hacking and modd-ability)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In fact, you can actually still flash custom roms even with the bootloader locked - that was news to me but I'll leave this edited answer for now. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4003" LastEditorUserId="4003" LastEditDate="2012-06-28T00:24:19.737" LastActivityDate="2012-06-28T00:24:19.737" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It might work, but force ext4 into vfat instantly. It might not work at all. What's important is that you check if the ROM you are using both supports ext4 and does not force it back to vfat.

If that doesn't work, you can try going into &quot;More...&quot; on the settings menu and look for available networks manually. Maybe you'll find that you find other networks, just not your carrier, and in that case it's actually a coverage problem, or a problem with their equipment since you &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; actually see networks, just not the one you want to connect to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Is this something that happens to others, or am I just lucky?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Connection drops to the network is very common, but it's usually different kinds of drops for different reasons.

This sounds completely different from your issue if you are actually losing contact with the GSM network completely.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd recommend that you check out if you can find other carriers networks or not (mentioned above), if you can find others you need to notify your carrier first of all. If you can't, it's probably phone-specific but even there your carrier/Samsung should be able to help you if you still have warranty and the device is not rooted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="15575" LastActivityDate="2012-06-24T08:41:03.240" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I also explored in that question what options were available to sync only to local computers, and to &lt;em&gt;definitively&lt;/em&gt; prevent the device from syncing private data (calendar, contacts, todos) to Google. I plan to do my own backups locally.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Side note: not syncing private data with Google is a little trickier than a new user would expect. This is because a Google account is required to use the marketplace, and once the phone has that account, it cannot be removed without a factory reset (at least in version 2.2). The sync to it &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; be disabled, but if one accidentally turns it on - easily done momentarily, in my view - contacts and calendar are likely to whoosh to the cloud in short order.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One of course has to balance security requirements with usability, and my favourite calendars thus far (Business Calendar, aCalendar) do not offer their own private calendar repositories (they just work with any calendar sync provider). Ergo, they are equally at risk of accidental cloud synching as the stock Calendar application.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, I am wondering if rooting the device and installing a firewall would be the way to go? I was originally of the view that I could grant application permissions to Market/Play to contact Google, but not Calendar.

Any root owners here have thoughts as to whether it is possible?

I would recommend getting a capacitive stylus if you're having problems with this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here is a cheap solution for this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B0053NBLFW&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.amazon.com/Capacitive-Cellphone-Motorola-BlackBerry-AMM0101US/dp/B0053NBLFW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1340657015&amp;amp;sr=8-1&amp;amp;keywords=capacitive+stylus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hope this helps!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="6705" LastActivityDate="2012-06-25T20:44:17.933" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

By default, Android disables Wi-Fi when your device goes into a sleep. In this case, 3G is the remaining mode of network communication, and it gets used by Gmail/Gtalk push notifications, etc. Obviously, this network communication takes its toll on your battery time. If you disable 3G you'll save some battery, but your device will be completely offline while in sleep.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, if your Wi-Fi is &quot;always on&quot;, your 3G will never be used, so it doesn't really matter if it is on or off. However, &quot;always on&quot; Wi-Fi is a big battery drain by itself...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Update: Note that sleep modes and sub-system energy consumption differ from phone to phone. Moreover, 3G energy consumption varies greatly, depends on which background services are enabled, proximity of the cellular tower, etc. I haven't seen any &quot;authoritative&quot; documentation on this subject.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I suggest you check your battery stats (in &lt;code&gt;Settings -&amp;gt; Battery&lt;/code&gt;) and see how cellular communication affects your battery time overall. Usually, it is a very small percentage, so in general dialing your screen brightness a down a notch will have much greater effect on your battery life.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="8004" LastEditorUserId="8004" LastEditDate="2012-06-26T19:16:11.283" LastActivityDate="2012-06-26T19:16:11.283" CommentCount="6" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You wouldn't be able to read it, so putting that much content on the screen just doesn't make sense. Resolution determines how many pixels you can display, but one pixel &lt;em&gt;is not the same size on every screen&lt;/em&gt;. Making content usable and readable requires you to use up more pixels on a smaller screen because they are more densely packed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For a good comparison, open a web page on a Galaxy Nexus and zoom all the way out. The same page viewed on a 14&quot; (or such) monitor with similar resolution would be no problem, but the text is nearly indecipherable on your phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From the standpoint of &quot;how is this accomplished technically&quot; - it largely depends on how an app is written. By default, Android will simply scale the interface on to the larger screen, which may or may not cause more data to be visible (consider a scrolling list, for example: more items would be visible on a larger screen). That's the most basic scenario.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's also possible, however, for a developer to define entirely different layouts based upon screen size or density. Therefore, the layouts on a 7&quot; device may be completely unrelated to the layouts on a 4&quot; device or 10&quot; device. This gives developers a lot of flexibility to create richer UIs for tablets (and other such devices) while keeping the phone UIs useable.

Your name on previous reviews will appear as &quot;A Google User&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also note that someone reported &lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16483&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Issue 16483: Android Market doesn't allow removing an existing application's rating and comment&lt;/a&gt;. Voting might help! Or maybe there's some alternative market app that interfaces with Google's store? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My findings:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite what many write: clearing all text including the title does not clear the review for me; it just moved my old review to the top again, with a new date and an updated version number. In the Play app the &quot;OK&quot; button is disabled when clearing the title, so I guess the title text is mandatory. Indeed, just typing a title on the website does save the new review with an empty description. Still, that does show my name, rating and title.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To edit one's own review on the website, even if it's actually shown on the main page: first click &quot;All reviews&quot; or go to the tab &quot;User Reviews&quot;, then find the &quot;Edit Review&quot; button next to &quot;My Review&quot;. Note that different languages might show different reviews! (I cannot find my review in the Dutch Google Play, as I entered it using an English Play app?)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the Play app one can swipe the stars to the left to get &quot;unrated&quot;, but then the &quot;OK&quot; button is disabled.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Uninstalling the reviewed app does not seem to remove one's review. (Which makes sense, I guess.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;As true for new or updated reviews too: it takes quite some time for changes to propagate. Even once the new review is shown, refreshing might show the old one again. I guess there's multiple servers involved and it takes some time to synchronize. Be patient, for otherwise you might actually activate the old review again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Old versions of the Market app reveal an option &quot;Remove my review&quot; by simply pressing the hardware menu button, when viewing an app one reviewed.

That old Market app still works just fine, but not all apps are visible on that old device, and some show &quot;The requested item could not be found&quot; when selecting it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/dM0i2.png&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/dM0i2.png&quot; width=&quot;100&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;  &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/cdHSm.png&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/cdHSm.png&quot; width=&quot;100&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;  &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/CBITK.png&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/CBITK.png&quot; width=&quot;100&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;  &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/rVabr.png&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/rVabr.png&quot; width=&quot;100&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sniffing the network first shows some HTTPS request, probably authentication. Removing the rating gave me a POST to &lt;code&gt;android.clients.google.com&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;POST /market/api/ApiRequest HTTP/1.1 &#xA;version=2&amp;amp;request=CpQDCr[...]OTc2NTE4MzgYARQ&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a request like many others that people have been deciphering.

No luck. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also tried AppBrain, hoping it would somehow interface with the Google Play Store and would then allow for changing ratings.

The files it creates are often large, usually between .5 GB and 2 GB, depending on the size (and filling) of the device's partitions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A &lt;em&gt;Nandroid backup&lt;/em&gt; basically creates full images of all your device's partitions (see: &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/partition&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;partition&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;partition&lt;/a&gt;), without any abstraction. This does not necessarily mean one could not pick single items out of a &lt;em&gt;Nandroid backup&lt;/em&gt;, but its not that trivial. If you restore a single partition only (such as &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;), it must fit the other parts of the system. The &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; partition also holds the &lt;code&gt;/data/dalvik-cache&lt;/code&gt;, for example, which consists of the byte-code for all installed apps, optimized for the &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/rom&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;rom&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;rom&lt;/a&gt; which created it. If you would restore only the &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; partition from a &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/backup&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;backup&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;backup&lt;/a&gt; of ROM-X to a device with ROM-Y, those DEX (Dalvik EXecutables) would not fit. Also ROM-Y might use different directory structures for several things, which are not reflected here. As a result, you might have a unstable system (which might not even be able to complete its &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/boot&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;boot&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;boot&lt;/a&gt; process), see apps crashing, and the like.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Doing this would not be such a good idea. So for the average user, a Nandroid restore is rather an all-or-nothing: Either restore it completely, or not at all.

(although, the galaxy tab shown above is 7&quot; as well, but maybe they changed the size limit in 4.1?)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="27" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-09T18:04:14.650" LastActivityDate="2014-01-18T13:44:20.573" Title="Why does the Nexus 7 have a notification bar?"

The goal is to define a UI that is similar in dimension across devices, regardless of the screen size. So in this case the appearance of the menus is the same in the Galaxy Nexus and the tablet (side by side should look very similar), but, as one has a bigger screen, more content can be shown. The designer selects an appearance that looks good for a certain size (a 160 dpi screen is the base) and this is &quot;simulated&quot; in this case in devices with higher dpi.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Screen Density&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Commonly referred to as dpi (dots per inch). Android groups all actual screen densities into four generalized densities: low (120), medium (160), high (240), and extra high (320). A device such as Galaxy Nexus has &quot;extra high&quot; screen density (more specifically, the dpi value is set at 320). The Nexus 7 uses &quot;tvdpi&quot; - i.e. 213 dpi.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Density Independent Pixel&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Commonly referred to as dp. This is the virtual pixel unit used when displaying content. The density-independent pixel is equivalent to one physical pixel on a 160 dpi screen. To calculate dp use the following formula:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;px = dp * (dpi / 160)&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;or equivalently:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;dp = (px / dpi) * 160&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The reason Nexus 7 can show more content than the Galaxy Nexus despite having similar resolutions is this: &lt;strong&gt;the dpi of Nexus 7 is lower than Galaxy Nexus&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Galaxy Nexus (320 dpi, 720 pixels wide)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;(720 / 320) * 160 = 360 dp&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Nexus 7 (213 dpi, 800 pixels wide)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;(800 / 213) * 160 = 600 dp&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This means that when apps are rendering on the Galaxy Nexus, the width of the screen is actually 360 dp (rendered using 720 pixels). Whereas on the Nexus 7, the width of the screen is 600 dp (rendered using 800 pixels).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your Galaxy Nexus is rooted, you can use an app such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpi&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;LCD Density Modder&lt;/a&gt; and change the DPI of your device to 240. What you'll get is something a lot closer to Nexus 7 in a smaller package. On the left is a screenshot of the device at 240 dpi. You'll notice we can see a lot more content when the DPI is lower.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/XkDqG.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Galaxy Nexus at 240 dpi&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/uJk2p.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Galaxy Nexus at 320 dpi&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nothing to do with PPI&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The other answers mention PPI. The amount of content displayed has nothing to do with the PPI of a device. Though commonly, vendors select the DPI that is closest to the PPI of the device. (e.g. Galaxy Nexus has a PPI of 316, but a DPI of 320, where as Nexus 7 has a PPI of 216, but uses a 213 DPI).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Further Reading&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="9165" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2013-07-24T07:21:46.280" LastActivityDate="2013-07-24T07:21:46.280" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I need to explain all this to help others and to avoid helpful contributors to provide answer without asking clarifications.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My requirement in one line: &quot;to enable an Android phone to display Tamil characters properly&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Elaboration:&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;Tamil, like any other Indian language has complex character rendering system. Unlike English or other Latin based script, it has glyph (what you see in screen) composed of more than one character. &#xA;Android does not have ability to render such complex scripts (with exceptions). My aim is to know how I can provide such an ability to an Android phone or tablet.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Little background that I gathered so far:&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;To display a glyph in screen, Android first needs a suitable font file.  Android device has a folder &lt;em&gt;/system/fonts&lt;/em&gt; which has few of them.  The most interesting file in that folder is the DroidSansFallback.ttf.  As the name suggests, when Android's system fails to find a character in system fonts (that could be DroidSans.ttf or DroidSans-Bold.ttf etc) it falls back to search it in DroidSansFallback.ttf.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By replacing a suitable font file from PC (Latha.ttf or Lohit-Tamil.ttf - these are fonts for Tamil) and DroidSansFallback.ttf will enable to display Tamil characters in the device.&#xA;It is not so easy to replace and it involves rooting the device and mounting the system as writable. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In spite of those troubles, even if the DroidSansFallback.ttf is replaced, the Tamil characters that are displayed are not rendered properly.  The Tamil character &quot;தி&quot; is a conjunct of two characters and instead of getting displayed as &quot;தி&quot;, it will be displayed as &quot;த ி&quot; without space in between. Though this is enough to read short messages, it cannot be used to read books etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From Android 4.0 on wards, Tamil and other few languages are supported through browser as said in Android 4.x API overview as seen below.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Support for Indic fonts (Devanagari, Bengali, and Tamil, including the complex&#xA;character support needed for combining glyphs) in WebView and the built-in Browser&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The words to notice is &quot;in WebView and the built-in Browser&quot;, which means that Tamil characters will be rendered perfectly if it is rendered as HTML content and will not be rendered otherwise.  Opera and other few browsers did this even before Android 4.0 by substituting image instead of character.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I noticed that in few devices that target Indian market (ex: LG Optimus One, most of Samsung phones and tablets) are able to display Tamil properly both in browser and even in places out of browser like in contacts, text messages, file names etc.  To my surprise they do this even in Android 2.3 onwards.  I also noticed that the same model targeting non-Indian country running same version of Android does not support Tamil character display.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This made me to investigate further and reached a conclusion that Android (as other Linux based OS) depends on a font rendering engine to display such complex characters.  The two engines that I came across are Skia and Harfbuzz. I noticed LG uses skia and Samsung uses Harfbuzz libraries in their devices to bring this ability.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I came across many websites suggesting to replaces these libraries and fonts. It did not work and results in freezing.  Fortunately I backed up using clockworkmod and hence I restored my phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Though I had explained this with Tamil, this is applicable for most of the Indian languages.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here comes my question (if you are still reading;) )&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;Now, far sure it is clear that a TTF file should be present to provide characters and an appropriate libraries (libskia.so or libharfbuzz.so) are required to render them correctly.  Does any one know how these manufacturers are able to provide the ability?

However, the problem was solved once I uninstalled it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Later I understood that Android SDK does not provide clean solutions to hook into mic (unlike Symbian platform).  Hence call recording software developers are left to use any sort of dirty means (which I am not aware) to make their app work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, if you have any such application which plays with mic, just uninstall them and try.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="9556" LastActivityDate="2012-07-06T12:19:15.483" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As covered in &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/a/20663/981&quot;&gt;my answer to another question&lt;/a&gt;, the following is what happens when you swipe an app out of the list, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.extremetech.com/computing/112013-how-multitasking-works-on-android-and-ios#comment-402624620&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;as stated by Android engineer Dianne Hackborn&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Actually, removing an entry in recent tasks will kill any background&#xA;  processes that exist for the process. It won't directly causes&#xA;  services to stop, however there is an API for them to find out the&#xA;  task was removed to decide if they want this to mean they should stop.&#xA;  This is so that removing say the recent task of an e-mail app won't&#xA;  cause it to stop checking for e-mail.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In this case, that means that the foreground tasks of the Music app are being stopped, but the background service (evidently) chooses to continue running. This is a product of the way the app is implemented, so you simply won't be able to stop music playback by swiping the app out of the list. Instead, you can try the following from the recent apps list (also covered in the above linked answer):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If you really want to completely stop an app, you can long press on recent tasks to go to app info, and hit force stop there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:29.220" LastActivityDate="2012-07-08T02:21:51.743" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This time it immediately started searching, and continued searching until the auto-shutdown started.] I also tried looking at the processes with a system monitoring app I have but wasn't able to identify a process to kill before it started shutting down - and even if I did I am afraid it might still start updating when I'm not watching later.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there any way I can abort the install?

With&#xA;  hamachi on an android you would be able to access the files on&#xA;  multiple computers from anywhere in the world (provided that you have&#xA;  wifi, 3g, 4g or any other type of internet connection on your phone)&#xA;  this is useful when programs like dropbox can't hold the file that you&#xA;  want because it is too large and you know that you will need it at&#xA;  some point when you are on the go.  To get hamachi on android there&#xA;  are a few requirements which must be met first:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ol&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Internet access.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ubuntu/Debian/Backtrack or any other Linux distro on your phone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rooted phone (root access).  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Once those 3 requirements have been met you should be set to go.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ol&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Boot up the Linux distro on your phone&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Either open up the browser on the distro or the browser on your phone. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mediafire.com/?jwng92o6j56ov8l&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://www.mediafire.com/?jwng92o6j56ov8l&lt;/a&gt; and download the hamachi file. If you did this on the distro then you may skip to step 5A&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If it hasn't happened already, move that whole file to emmc on your phone&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;(5A.

If you were to think of the entire Android ecosystem within your handset, split into 3/4, using the Java Programming language, the remaining 1/4 is the kernel written in C/Assembler. It is there within the kernel is where the drivers are embedded. That is part of the kernel's job to interact with touchscreen, accelerometers, compass, etc, and certain interactions with the hardware gets delegated to the Android side of things. That is a summary in abstract form for the layman to understand.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On to hardware manufacturers such as Acer, Huawei, HTC, Samsung, Sony, Zte, to name but a few, what each of those companies do, is publish the sources to the kernel, so that it can be built. Although, having said that, some are not exactly GPL compliant, some provide sources, which may not be fully complete, quite possibly, due to the restrictions on certain closed-source for a particular hardware, or others just flagrantly violate the GPL and not publish it at all. Perhaps, some do distribute the source in which the process of rolling your own kernel can fail due to malformed errors in the code or missing extra code.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That applies to, generally older kernels, version 2.6.x, in which a mix-and-match of the appropriate sources gets merged in manually, to create a build, this is where it can backfire quite horribly, the build breaks, kernel refuses to boot and lots of hacking to get the build to work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Atheros, is one very classic example of a wifi chipset found in quite a large majority of handsets, notably, the sources for the device driver, are quite hard to find, which has resulted in broken builds of the driver, in turn, when integrated with the kernel, as a whole, Android refuses to start the wifi. Due to obscurity of the source, hackers have attempted to get the appropriate wifi driver from other stock ROMs thereby exacerbating the gambling on the functionality of the wifi which either work or break.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The newer kernel versions 3.1.x, have most of the device drivers employed for usage with Android, merged into the main kernel sources thereby minimizing the chances of mix-n-matching, merging the source manually for a hardware, be it a new compass, acclerometer etc. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;If there's anything amiss feel free to comment, and amend this accordingly.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4003" LastActivityDate="2012-07-10T01:05:53.173" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you do not want to install an app for the purpose, there are also web services available like e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;http://goqr.me/en/&quot;&gt;GOQR.ME&lt;/a&gt; -- simply search google for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&amp;amp;safe=active&amp;amp;q=qr+code+generator+address+vcard&quot;&gt;QR Code generator vcard&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The result is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR-code&quot;&gt;QR-Code&lt;/a&gt; -- a simply image you can put on your web page.

In case of a VCard, this would e.g. be to add it to your contact list -- exactly what you intended.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course you could simply export your contact data in VCard format for download (on opening that, the user would get the same choice to add the content to the contacts). You also could combine both, linking the QR-Code image to the downloadable VCard (make sure the file extension of the vcard file is set to &lt;code&gt;.vcf&lt;/code&gt;, so the web server gets a chance to set the correct mime type -- otherwise it may be treated as &quot;plain text&quot; and opened inside the browser instead of being downloaded). This way a visitor could either use a barcode reader, or click on the code to download the VCard. Thus it even could be imported to apps on the PC: MS Outlook, Gnome Evolution, and others understand the VCard-Format as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Troubleshooting:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you linked the VCard &lt;code&gt;.vcf&lt;/code&gt; file for download, and it still only gets displayed in the browser window, here's how this can be fixed with Apache web server (solution by MrGlass -- thanks!):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Edit your Apache config (or, if you cannot access this, edit/create the &lt;code&gt;.htaccess&lt;/code&gt; file in the directory your &lt;code&gt;.vcf&lt;/code&gt; is stored) to contain the following segment:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;FilesMatch &quot;\.vcf$&quot;&amp;gt;&#xA;  ForceType text/vcard&#xA;  Header set Content-Disposition attachment&#xA;&amp;lt;/FilesMatch&amp;gt;&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="16575" LastEditDate="2012-07-11T15:48:35.903" LastActivityDate="2012-07-11T15:48:35.903" CommentCount="9" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Presumably they later removed the app from the google play store / market. Their website used to have a &quot;buy android version&quot; but now only mentions ios.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The app can no longer be found by searching the market (neither on the device, nor on the web). I can no longer see it under &quot;all apps&quot; / &quot;my apps&quot; (again, neither on the device, nor on the web). The only reason I knew this app was &quot;missing&quot; was because I remembered owning it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Using google I could find an old market link in a forum to &#xA;  &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.soundtrends.gruvtron&quot;&gt;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.soundtrends.gruvtron&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;This link normally gives &quot;We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, if I happen to be logged in to my google account that owns the app, I get a market page for the app (!) from which I can chose to install it! Doing so, it indeed gets sent to my device and 'everything works' (though, the app graphics are broken -- but I don't think that is relevant here.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is worrying. Obviously I have no idea how many of the ~100s of apps I own that have silently disappeared from &quot;my apps&quot;, and thus are left out when I browse that list for things to re-install. And even if I remembered a specific app, how would I find the corresponding market link so that I could re-install it? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So my primary question is:&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;Is there a list anywhere on the web or on the android device that lists all apps I own -- &lt;em&gt;including the ones pulled from the market&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;preferably with market links?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have the google market receipts, but those are a pain to go through (it is not really a &quot;list&quot;) Worse, in there I only see a company name and textual app name, i.e., no market link. If there had been any reference to the app id (e.g., here, 'com.soundtrends.gruvtron') I could at least have re-constructed the market url.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Edit: a few clarifications follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;A satisfactory answer must describe a way to get a list of apps which includes those I have purchased, &lt;strong&gt;but which after the date of purchase have been pulled from the market by developers.&lt;/strong&gt; The list should include either market URLs or package-names. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The single one of my purchased apps where I know this has happened (grüvtron) &lt;strong&gt;does not appear under my &quot;my apps&quot; list&lt;/strong&gt; (Menu &gt; My Apps in market app), and I assume this is intentional design for apps that have been pulled (though I find it an odd design choice).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am currently on ICS, with market 3.7.13.

Just use the Appbrain App for updating your apps -- it will do so by calling the PlayStore app using its API.

The Android OS in the phone comes from the manufacturer and it is non-rooted. I could use normal apps from Google Play but not the more powerful ones that need root privilege. Recently, I want to find a way to backup and restore my phone's rom (like Norton Ghost). However, from my previous thread : &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/25698/could-a-non-root-android-4-0-3-smartphones-rom-be-backup&quot;&gt;Could a non-root Android 4.0.3 smartphone's rom be backup?&lt;/a&gt;, I know that this operation seems impossible without some serious tweakings of my phone. &quot;Tweaking&quot; involves risks so I want to clarify some concepts before performing such potentially danger tasks.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My questions are : &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Does every Android phone has a Boot Partition, a Recovery Partition and a Rom Partition ? (Boot Partition stores the Linux Kernel, Recovery Partition stores the BootLoader and the Rom Partition stores the other Android system and application files)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is every Android phone's BootLoader locked ? How could I tell whether it is locked or not ? (Supplementary Info : I could go into the Factory Mode of my phone by turning on my device with &quot;power on&quot; + &quot;home&quot; key, the Factory Mode has the following menu items :&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Factory Mode&#xA;Full Test&#xA;Item Test&#xA;Test Report&#xA;Version&#xA;Reboot&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It seems that my BootLoader does not let me to backup/update my phone's rom. I can't tell whether it is locked. Moreover, when I enter the &quot;Version&quot; option, the following information is listed :&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;IMEI1 : 35958561001666&#xA;IMEI2 : 35958561001666&#xA;S/N code :&#xA;MT012345678901234567&#xA;10&#xA;SW Ver. : HTC_A100_V401&#xA;Custom Build Verno : 1331982298&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am not sure whether this phone has used a HTC A100's firmware rom ! ]&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Must I unlock the BootLoader if I want to update my phone with a custom rom (e.g. CyanogenMod) ? What exactly is the meaning of &quot;unlock&quot; ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Must I unlock the BootLoader if I just want to root my phone to run some rom backup programs such as &quot;romdump&quot;, &quot;titanium backup&quot; etc ? If not, would I void my phone's warranty by just rooting my phone ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know that the &quot;SuperOneClick&quot; program could be used to root many Android 2.2/2.3 phones. Could this program be used to root an Android 4.0.3 phone ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the &quot;SuperOneClick&quot; rooting process fails somewhere along its way, would the failure hurt my phone and brick it ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's all my concerns before I would actually perform some serious tweakings to my phone. I am sorry if I have asked too many naive questions and/or I am looking for too much, but I hope the answer(s) in this discussion may be beneficial to other Android tweaking beginners.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thanks for your attention.

By firmware definition, I am not referring to ROM updates mind you, its more of hardware update - think of BIOS updates on desktop pcs, then you're not far off the mark there, such as Radio firmware. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem is the word brick has become a common parlance among new beginners to Android and often associated with the 'rooting process', and that's FUD. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Think about it, a brick used to build a wall, that's a brick. Phones can be brought back from the dead so to speak with specialized JTAG cables and stripping down the phone to the circuitary level (some have it accessible to avoid stripping down). That is a hardware-brick - can only happen with the above scenario in firmware update - pull the cable halfway through or even, attempting to do a firmware update when the battery is &amp;lt; 5% and the battery dies, that's another way. That is why it is recommended to have the battery have sufficient charge capacity &gt; 85% prior to doing a firmware update.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Soft brick on the other hand - is commonly associated with boot-loops, incorrect ROM flashing. That is salvageable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You will know if a brick has happened, phone is dead, no power, not responding with a fully charged battery. If on the other hand, you see a boot logo appear, and responds to power, leds lights on, its not bricked.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That is a very simple but important concept to understand to aid in distinguishing when doing the procedures such as rooting it, updating ROMs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4003" LastActivityDate="2012-07-14T16:47:36.950" CommentCount="11" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Maybe the initial version 1.0 had that, I really do not know, have gone through Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich. You need to look into the source tree and rebase it back to CupCake or Donut (1.5 and 1.6 respectively)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The detailed reason :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The reason the &lt;em&gt;Wipe Cache&lt;/em&gt; must be used is because all apks, including system apks, have a &lt;em&gt;dex&lt;/em&gt; file attached to it, when the ROM is booted up for the first time, Android's Dalvik goes through each and every one of those apks, and extract the dex file from it and place it in the cache &lt;code&gt;/data/dalvik-cache&lt;/code&gt; thereby speeding up the execution of the app itself. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Most ROMs have apks that are &lt;em&gt;odex&lt;/em&gt; 'ed, the cache is bundled into the apk itself as an external file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A lot of custom ROM modders would have those apks &lt;em&gt;deodex&lt;/em&gt; 'd, meaning the dex file is replaced and repackaged to make it easier to theme/modify an apk.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you flash a custom ROM, and did not wipe the cache, the newer custom ROM's apk's will have a different &lt;em&gt;dex&lt;/em&gt; file attached to it, and when the Dalvik goes through them, it sees the existing cached dex file found in the directory, and skips it, then when you run the app, you're guaranteed a force close or ANR (Application Not Responding).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You are not losing data per se, if using ClockWorkMod Recovery, and &lt;em&gt;Wipe Data&lt;/em&gt; is selected, then yes, all the settings relating to the apps are wiped cleanly - look in &lt;code&gt;/data/app&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So you can &lt;em&gt;Wipe Cache&lt;/em&gt; but not &lt;em&gt;Wipe Data&lt;/em&gt;, what is done effectively, is slotted in the newer apks in place, in which it has the settings retained. This was quite a common scenario with CyanogenMod nightlies where a unstable/testing ROM build is flashed, and the settings retained with cache wipe. The mileage will vary depending on what apps downloaded from the market (settings would have changed by version bump quite likely). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For best results it would be wise to perform both &lt;em&gt;Wipe Data&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Wipe Cache&lt;/em&gt; to ensure integrity and no program errors within the app itself. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes that would mean the boot time would be slower but its initial once off moment. After that it would be booting quicker. Really in a nutshell, explicitly wiping the cache itself via CWM actually helps speed it up and ensure no residue from the previous version in place which could get munged in (Now at this stage, am realizing your question so in all fairness, have not actually seen Android not performing the invalidating of the cache itself upon boot when flashing a new ROM..) &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use the source Luke&lt;/strong&gt; seriously! :D&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;frameworks/base/core/java/com/android/internal/os/ZygoteInit.java&lt;/code&gt; is the bootup code for each apk runtime. It interacts with the native C code found in the &lt;code&gt;dalvik&lt;/code&gt; directory tree which contains specific chipset instructions to interpret the bytecode within the apk to native CPU instruction set. ARMv6 is pretty much a hacked version of ARMv5 (which was the original chipset in the older Android versions prior to Eclair), so you will not see ARMv6 in the AOSP source from google. CyanogenMod will have that ARMv6 in their source.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4003" LastEditorUserId="4003" LastEditDate="2012-07-15T15:09:47.383" LastActivityDate="2012-07-15T15:09:47.383" CommentCount="9" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

On an unrooted phone, it gives access to your entire filesystem.  On a rooted phone, it gives access to your entire filesystem with write permissions.  The connection isn't encrypted and there is no password or key exchange to access ADB.  It's just a bad idea.  Beyond that, your carrier may not even allow traffic over 5555 (the standard ADB port), they may be proxying your traffic, or there may be other complicating factors.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, setting up SSH shouldn't be difficult.  I use &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sshdroid&quot;&gt;SSHDroid&lt;/a&gt; all the time.  I can get a secure shell from any WiFi connection, and it works great for wireless file transfer.  You could set up a task to turn on SSHDroid whenever the device connects to WiFi and another to send you the IP.  Technically, you can even run it without WiFi, but I generally wouldn't recommend it, as it's still open to vulnerabilities, which would lead to problems similar to leaving ADB open (although somewhat less likely since SSH is designed to be secure).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, there are a number of apps that are built specifically for locating your phone.

Android manages its RAM fine, no need to worry about that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for the auto-starters, I can recommend &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;AutoRun Manager&lt;/a&gt;, which is actively maintained and simply the best of all I tried (and I tried a lot).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To figure out what is consuming your ressources, a good candidate helping you would be &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;System Tuner&lt;/a&gt;. While the free version simply lets you monitor activity life, the pro-version also offers background-monitoring and stores its data for later analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some other steps you could perform include:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;from time to time, clean up caches (to remove old data and get back precious internal memory; helping apps in this segment include &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.menue.cacheclear&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Cache Clear&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appswhere.cachecleaner&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Quick Cache Cleaner&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.lsartory.cachecleaner.ng&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;CacheCleaner NG&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tools.androidsystemcleaner&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Android System Cleaner&lt;/a&gt; - the latter taking care for more things than just cache&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Moving some rarely used Apps to SD (if they don't have widgets you are using) saves additional internal space.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;uninstall unused apps&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastActivityDate="2012-07-16T20:02:59.997" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Result: Old and new (broken) provider can be installed next to each other at the same time because they have a different namespace (&lt;em&gt;.*searchbox&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2&lt;/strong&gt; instead of &lt;em&gt;.*searchbox&lt;/em&gt;).

It's a generic installation package for the popular Cyanogenmod aftermarket firmware that holds all relevant proprietary packages from Google (they had to be stripped off Cyanogenmod by Google's request some time ago). You can open it with any unzip program and extract the /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk package.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's how I would do it (using the adb tool from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html&quot;&gt;Google SDK&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;adb push GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk /sdcard/&#xA;adb shell&#xA;su&#xA;mount -o remount,rw /system&#xA;cp /sdcard/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk /system/data/&#xA;mount -o remount,ro /system&#xA;reboot&#xA;exit&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I used &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=redfishandroid.appexplorer&quot;&gt;Application Explorer&lt;/a&gt; to generate this listing and see where the .apk is located:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;App Name: Google-Search&#xA;Package Name: com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox&#xA;&#xA;[...]&#xA;&#xA;Source Directory:&#xA;/system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can get the version of 'Google-Search' by going to &lt;em&gt;Settings-&gt;Apps-&gt;All-&gt;Google Search&lt;/em&gt;, which lists the current version.

I got a phone call today and I noticed that when I'm connected to the Aux jack, my phone wouldn't connect to the bluetooth speakerphone.  In fact, I couldn't hear the phone call at all, although the person on the other end could hear me.  When I pulled out the cable from my phone's headphone jack, the bluetooth connection to the speakerphone was restored.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I never had this problem with my Bionic.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;How do I make my phone connect to the bluetooth speakerphone even when I have a cable in the headphone receptacle?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note: my car hooks up to the bluetooth speakerphone only -- it doesn't have an option to play music through the car speakers via bluetooth.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE (JUL 19)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Having thought about the situation some more, here's what I think is happening: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I make a phone call using my car's integrated bluetooth speakerphone, my car turns off the stereo input to my speakers and replaces it with the phone input.  At the same time, if I have a cable plugged into my headphone jack on my phone, my phone assumes that I want to hear the call through my &quot;headphones&quot; and not any attached bluetooth device, so my phone doesn't transmit the incoming phone audio to the bluetooth antenna -- it sends it to the audio cable plugged into the headphone jack.  Since my car stereo isn't accepting auxiliary input during a phone call, I hear nothing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, I really need a way to tell my phone that when I have a bluetooth speakerphone connected and &quot;headphones&quot; connected, I prefer to hear the call through the bluetooth connection (I don't think it's very likely that I'm going to be able to get Mazda to change their stereo firmware :-) ).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE (JUL 24)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I tried my wife's Razr (running ICS) and didn't have this problem, so it seems to be Samsung Galaxy SIII problem, not an ICS problem.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I've come up with a couple of work-arounds that I'll submit as a separate answer.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="8202" LastEditorUserId="8202" LastEditDate="2012-07-25T08:49:53.110" LastActivityDate="2012-11-17T18:34:03.733" Title="How do I keep my headphone jack from disabling my bluetooth speakerphone in my car?"

There's honestly not much to say, this was just a few clicks and now it's up and ready - any time the PC is powered on I can log into the VPN created by it with my Windows login credentials.

Even if it is locked, you don't need root, you just need an exploit to change the recovery to install CM9/CM10. Usually, the first thing that people do when an exploit is identified is &quot;root&quot; the device but flashing a different recovery and flashing a different ROM is also possible. Root happens first because there are little or no modifications that have to be made except put the &lt;code&gt;su&lt;/code&gt; binaries on the device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Galaxy devices, from my experience is actually pretty easy to &quot;Restore to Stock&quot; if you so choose.

Once you have the stock files that can be used with ODIN, it is rather simple to restore to &quot;stock&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With CM9 and later, you do not have to have root enabled.

I don't own one, so I've never needed the app. Out of those 240 listings, I can count at least 15 that I've not deliberately installed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Partial listing here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitpic.com/a9sw74&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://twitpic.com/a9sw74&lt;/a&gt; (900x4000px PNG)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, immediate panic that someone compromised my Play account, but the question became, &quot;why would they install a bunch of stupid apps that didn't cost anything when they could install apps that have monetary impact&quot;. I let my son and daughter mess with my phone or tablet in the restaurant, but they know not to install apps and none of those apps would appeal to a 14 or 9 year old.  Regardless, I changed my password and revoked every device except the 3 I'm currently using.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I went into the &quot;My Account&quot; listing of all my purchases, which also includes free apps. Not one of these 15 apps that I've found show up in that list.  Which makes me wonder if this is a glitch in Google Play as opposed to someone accessing my account incorrectly.

As well as the bottom explaining my device &amp;amp; set up.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The best method I would think of, to do this, would obviously be to do this after a factory restore, and data wipe. But considering I am way past that point, I am trying to find another method. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I already backup all the applications I need, using Titanium Backup, so I don't want to backup my apps that will probably be different at the point of recovery, or will have certain apps I ditched before the point of restore, or have certain configurations I don't use/need/etc. I could go on and on. But the point Is I would just like to backup my stock rom, kernel, with my Super User privileges, without anything else. So I can basically use it as a factory reset, by just flashing my rom. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The main reason I ask this, is because I tend to get big into customization. Recently I used a font installer, form Rom Toolbox, and basically bricked my phone by getting caught in a boot loop. It would never pass to boot animation. So I had to use an old Odin Image with Clockwork Recovery. That was all I had. Luckily that fixed it, but I would like to make my own recovery images.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But, really the best thing I would just love, yet I am not sure whether it is possible, or as customizable, is it would be great if their was a way to just pick and choose what you want, or don't want to backup to a single image file.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Like an application that lets you choose certain things: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;System&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Root&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Kernel&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Applications with or without caches, data, accounts, and settings, etc.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;System Settings&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Account Settings&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;...you get the point...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now there wouldn't happen to be something like this for backups would there? Or is that just a dream of mine? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even though right now, I would prefer to just backup only my system without everything else, like apps. Maybe one day in the future I may like to be able to backup other things as well. Which is why I ask. Might as well use a &quot;one backup to rule them all&quot; method if it exists. But if not that's fine, I could always just backup the system itself, and continue to use Titanium.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now that, that is covered, what are all the different methods of backups? Odin. Nandroid. Anything else? What do they cover, and how customizable, etc. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ive been looking into this for the past week, but I am having trouble finding something that is relevant to what I am looking for. And all the information regarding backups seems quite specific to certain devices, and custom roms. &#xA;Which puts me kind of at a fallback, as I have a pretty uncommon device, with a pretty default rom. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have a Samsung Conquer 4G (SPH-D600) With the FE16 firmware update, on a stock rom with root, with a slight mod of having ClockworkMod Recovery. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So when I press and hold the: &quot;Volume Down, &amp;amp; Power button&quot; it takes me to a &quot;ClockworkMod based recovery mode&quot; (according to what it says on the header on the screen.) &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So that's what I am working with. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Any thoughts on this selective backup utilities I am thinking off? Any good resources I should look into on this topic? as well as any other information you may find relevant to this situation that you would care to share? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would greatly appreciate any input on the subject, as android backups aren't a topic I know much of anything on, and cant really find any good resources on the subject myself. &#xA;So any and all help is appreciated.

So that's one off the list. :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Use CWM to backup the entire handset to SDCard - this includes, boot, recovery, system, userdata partitions. Easy and much quicker to restore from! The latest Titanium Backup can do a restore from a nandroid created by CWM. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Can you include a screenshot of this &quot;ClockworkMod based recovery mode&quot; as that does not sound quite an official CWM and hence would be slightly concerned. &lt;strong&gt;Official CWM&lt;/strong&gt; would have this as shown below! Note the lack of the wording '&lt;em&gt;ClockworkMod based recovery mode&lt;/em&gt;'. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/kiOL5.png&quot; alt=&quot;CWM&quot;&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To perform the backup, use the Volume down key to scroll down until you reach 'backup and restore' as shown:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/y5tVU.png&quot; alt=&quot;CWM Backup &amp;amp; Restore&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hit the Home key, to bring you to this screen, the highlight bar is on '-Backup' &lt;em&gt;for some obscure reason, the screenshot failed on this one&lt;/em&gt; so no screenshot, hit the home key again to start the backup process.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/czGws.png&quot; alt=&quot;Backup in progress&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you do a restore, it will erase boot/system and userdata, and does the job in dumping everything back in place. As if nothing has happened next time by rebooting within CWM. Consider this as a equivalent of a Windows System Restore Point, cannot go wrong there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But ultimately, what you're asking for, Titanium Backup does it quite nicely. See the screenshot below, where there is a list of apps and can choose which to backup/restore. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/IvYtD.png&quot; alt=&quot;Titanium Backup&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here's a menu option to do the extraction from a CWM backup.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/RGmw5.png&quot; alt=&quot;Extract from Nandroid&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ultimately, it is up to you how to do the backup, pretty much in the same way doing a backup on Windows, the strategy used will depend and vary, to each and to their own. Personally, as I experiment a lot with ROMs, I do a straight nandroid backup, then get down to flashing another ROM and if I don't like it, I can go back to CWM to do a restore.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for Settings etc, I ignore them, as that can be a minefield which may cause a ROM's apps to force close so I disregard them and selectively choose which apps I wish to backup.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Using the two combined can be quite potent means of backing up.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Edit:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;This question - &lt;em&gt;how you managed to take a sreenshot of CWM? If I'm not mistaken, it is run at the boot point making it act like a &quot;BIOS&quot; in terms of PCs. So how did you do it?&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The recovery is identical to Android's ROM running from &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt;, it has its own kernel, near identical to the one used when booting into &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt;. The recovery has the &lt;code&gt;init.rc&lt;/code&gt; script heavily modified to not to start up the Android's services that makes up the standard familiar environment. In fact, if you were to peek into the &lt;code&gt;init.rc&lt;/code&gt;, it executes one program, called appropriately enough &lt;code&gt;recovery&lt;/code&gt; which is what you're seeing here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When the bootloader runs, its like this in English pseudo-code&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;load kernel from &lt;code&gt;boot&lt;/code&gt; partition at memory address.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If&lt;/strong&gt; Volume Down key is pressed &lt;strong&gt;then&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;read from &lt;code&gt;recovery&lt;/code&gt; partition's kernel and chain boot load mechanism (read recovery's kernel into memory address, and jump into the entry point of that kernel and start running, overwriting the previously loaded &lt;code&gt;boot&lt;/code&gt; kernel) and execute run scripts to bring up recovery program a lá CWM and hence in &lt;em&gt;recovery environment&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;else&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;continue to run as normal reading from &lt;code&gt;system&lt;/code&gt; partition and execute run scripts and bring up services a lá Android OS and hence in &lt;em&gt;system environment&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;endif&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So quite clearly, there is no difference behind the scenes, the kernel, shell scripts, etc. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As to how to obtain the screen-shots, that is a specialized script specifically for the Zte Blade and using the linux tools &lt;code&gt;imagemagick&lt;/code&gt; command line utilities involving &lt;code&gt;ffmpeg&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;mogrify&lt;/code&gt;, it is hardcoded to use the resolution of the screen for the Zte Blade, i.e. 800x480, and using &lt;code&gt;adb&lt;/code&gt; to pull in the framebuffer, pass it into &lt;code&gt;ffmpeg&lt;/code&gt;, and flip it over. IIRC, it does not work on any other resolution and depends on the kernel itself if it has framebuffers compiled in.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;#!/bin/sh&#xA;adb pull /dev/graphics/fb0 fb0 &amp;amp;&amp;amp; ffmpeg -vframes 1 -vcodec rawvideo -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565le -s 480x800 -i fb0 -f image2 -vcodec png $1.png &amp;amp;&amp;amp; mogrify -flip -flop $1.png &amp;amp;&amp;amp; rm fb0&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4003" LastEditorUserId="4003" LastEditDate="2012-07-24T14:54:44.497" LastActivityDate="2012-07-24T14:54:44.497" CommentCount="9" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You may have to massage the formatting a little (this may help &lt;a href=&quot;http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;amp;answer=12119&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;amp;answer=12119&lt;/a&gt;) if it doesn't import cleanly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you've gotten this far and now have google full of contacts, you may want to try and &quot;merge&quot; (More &gt; Find &amp;amp; Merge duplicates) to see if anyone you just imported also had an entry in Other Contacts like a secondary email for example.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So now that you've got your list on google's server it will show up automatically on your Android phone, any other Android device youre logged into, as well as gmail in the browser.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Gmail exports contacts out to CSV as well. So you could potentially keep swapping CSVs back and forth from Thunderbird to gmail and back to keep them in sync, but that sounds like a bit of a hassle.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="9369" LastActivityDate="2012-07-24T18:10:22.120" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There has to be some kind of log you can access with the emulator at least.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In other words, how does anyone get any kind of log from their phone/emulator if gets stuck in a bootloop?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Further information, my kernel version I believe I have downloaded for my phone build is Linux kernel release 3.x (stock kernel pulled from the &lt;code&gt;tuna&lt;/code&gt; folder and using the &quot;omap&quot; project), for Android Galaxy Nexus (maguro), with the platform being Android 4.0.3 ICS.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16091" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:23.210" LastActivityDate="2016-01-29T21:15:01.780" Title="Debugging bootloop: Get an information log without ADB?

Now &lt;em&gt;be careful&lt;/em&gt; :), the kernel in itself, can boot-loop also due to malfunctioning driver, panic's and reboots itself. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So the question is, &lt;em&gt;which is it?&lt;/em&gt;, Is it the kernel that keeps rebooting itself or has it got passed that stage and started loading the ROM? If its at the stage of loading the ROM, then something in the initialization is crashing, when the ROM crashes, it sends a signal to shutdown SurfaceFlinger, AudioFlinger, adb daemon, MedaServices etc. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What you can do is this - in the &lt;code&gt;init.rc&lt;/code&gt;, where you have this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;service console /system/bin/sh&#xA;    console&#xA;    disabled&#xA;    user shell&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Change &lt;code&gt;disabled&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;enabled&lt;/code&gt;, the next time, Android will dump you into the console, i.e. no familiar graphical interface.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, look for the  lines containing &lt;code&gt;servicemanager&lt;/code&gt;, if the adbd daemon is listed there, take it out as what happens is the directive clause &lt;code&gt;critical&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;onrestart&lt;/code&gt; will cause you to not have any adb facility!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4003" LastEditorUserId="4003" LastEditDate="2012-07-25T18:43:56.917" LastActivityDate="2012-07-25T18:43:56.917" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Even emulating a fat32 file system, one would still need to be able to translate between fat32 and ext4 at a low level. This is practically impossible.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the Galaxy Nexus had a partition, you could have block-level access and thus you could have mass storage access.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Long boring version:&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;br/&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Short background&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_mass_storage_device_class&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Mass Storage Class&lt;/a&gt; (MSC), commonly know as USB Mass Storage (UMS), that we are all used to use on our devices, is a protocol that allows a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device to become accessible to a host computing device, to enable file transfers between the two. On the golden days, one just needed to plug in the phone, hit &amp;quot;USB mode&amp;quot; and start moving files, editing files, etc...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;br/&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Things have changed a lot, when we talk of the new transfer method that's being used on your device, the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1 Introduction&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;sup&gt;see page 15 zip below&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Media Transfer Protocol, or MTP, is a protocol designed for content exchange with and command and control of transient storage devices. It was been developed as an extension to PTP, or Picture Transfer Protocol, and is targeted primarily at Digital Still Cameras, Portable Media Players and Cellular phones.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While the introduction still leaves margin for doubt, this protocol was developed and implemented with a very specific purpose: to facilitate the transfer of media files and associated metadata between devices:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.1 Purpose&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;sup&gt;see page 15 zip below&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The primary purpose of this protocol is to facilitate communication between media devices that have transient connectivity and significant storage capacity. This includes the exchange of binary objects and the enumeration of the contents of that connected device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;br/&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;File Types supported?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point, we already know that this is for media files and media based devices, but one question that I've seen on the comments remains: Can we copy files other than media files (audio/video)? Yes we can:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.3 MTP Object Model&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;sup&gt;see page 15 zip below&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The term &amp;quot;media&amp;quot; in &amp;quot;Media Transfer Protocol&amp;quot; is used to identify any binary data, and is not restricted to audio/video formats to which it is commonly applied. Some examples of non-audio/video objects include contacts, programs, scheduled events and text files.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;br/&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What about &amp;quot;live edit&amp;quot; ?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your question specially concerns the usage of your device (Galaxy Nexus) as an external USB storage drive. Why it can't be done? The MTP protocol limits data to a unidirectional operation, also latter explained that the device storage is used by the computer as a local file:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.2 Unidirectional Data Flow&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;sup&gt;see page 29 zip below&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The data flow in MTP is always unidirectional. When initiating an operation, data flows only from the Initiator to the Responder. When responding to the requested operation, the data flows only from the Responder to the Initiator. During the binary data-exchange phase, data may flow from the Responder to the Initiator or from the Initiator to the Responder, but never both. Bi-directional, binary data exchange must be performed by multiple operations.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;br/&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Advantages vs Drawbacks&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Advantages&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The MTP does carry some advantages with it, mainly concerning the security and integrity of the user data:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/nuWB1.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/nuWB1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Microsoft MTP Implementation Overview&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When a USB host computer has mounted an MSC partition, it assumes absolute control of the storage, allowing for example, the file system to get corrupted or reformat to an unsupported type.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the MTP overcomes this by making the unit of managed storage a local file that can either be written or read.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Drawbacks&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The MTP isn't treated as a traditional removable drive, so, no recovery tools can be used to save the day.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The support is still underway, some operating systems still require third-party software.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;MTP standards (as mentioned earlier) don't allow for direct modification of objects. Instead, modified objects must be reuploaded in their entirety.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;References:&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I hope this clarifies as to why MTP is good &lt;sup&gt;(improvement)&lt;/sup&gt;, but OTOH bad &lt;sup&gt;(user will have to change habits)&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here's the reading material used to synthesize the answer:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;usb.org :: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/MTPv1_1.zip&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Media Transfer Protocol v.1.1 Spec and MTP v.1.1 Adopters Agreement&lt;/a&gt; &lt;sup&gt;.zip with pdf files&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Wikipedia :: &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Media Transfer Protocol&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Android Central :: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.androidcentral.com/ics-feature-mtp-what-it-why-use-it-and-how-set-it&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;MTP - what is it, why use it, and how to set it up&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Microsoft :: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19678&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Media Transfer Protocol Enhanced Specification&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Microsoft :: &lt;a href=&quot;http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/8/f/98f3fe47-dfc3-4e74-92a3-088782200fe7/TWMD05003_WinHEC05.ppt&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Media Transfer Protocol Implementation Details&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;The above answer is credited to the contents and authors of these reference links.&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16265" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2018-05-05T20:07:06.803" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

To do this you'll need to install Android Developer Tools, which comes with adb.  Fire up your emulator then from your OS's shell run the command:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;adb logcat browser:V *:S&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This will output anything from the browser app on your emulator and suppress any other log messages.  From there any javascript console.log commands will be captured by adb and output for you to view.  So, if you're using JQuery, you can add this to your page and it'll output the whole page html to the log:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$(document).ready(function(){console.log($('html').html())});&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This will output everything within your html tag on the page to the log.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can capture the output of your log (using BASH, at least, I can't speak to other shells) with:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;adb logcat browser:V *:S &amp;gt; log.txt&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;now, any output from the log gets dumped into your log.txt file.  This is really handy for a whole page's worth of HTML, as you can then search through it as you would any other text doc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you want to grab a specific bit of the page rather than the whole thing, you can specify that part of the page rather than the html tag in your JQuery, so if you need to look at a single div that has a class/id associated with it (for this example, it has a class named 'inspect-me'), you can change your JQuery to:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$(document).ready(function(){console.log($('div.inspect-me').html())});&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="17469" LastEditorUserId="267" LastEditDate="2012-07-28T16:01:30.057" LastActivityDate="2012-07-28T16:01:30.057" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The most likely reason for this is the applications count is on the rise over a period of time.  To know what are the applications that occupies more space, you can goto Settings-&gt;Applications-&gt;Storage use.  You can see entire applications that are installed on your phone (both pre installed and that you had installed).  Together with the name of the application, you can see its size. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;How to get rid of this warning:&#xA;The only way to get rid of this warning is to free up the internal memory.  This can be done in several ways.  The best would be to investigate the above said list to spot the applications that you do not need and uninstalling them.  The next best option would be to move the application to your SD card.  Few applications, they themselves does this during installation and few does not and requires little force. Among the later there are few which are stubborn to work only on internal memory.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are apps like &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&amp;amp;feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5idWFrLkxpbmsyU0QiXQ..&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Link2SD&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&amp;amp;feature=related_apps#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLmEwc29mdC5ncGhvbmUuYXBwMnNkIl0.&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Apps2SD&lt;/a&gt; etc. that will enable you to move apps from internal memory to SD card.

For your second question, you might want to check &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=662196&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Manually edit your max MMS size limit&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More details:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for changing the limit, there are several consideration to be taken. Sure one can alter any limits, but usually there's a good reason for their presence. As Zuul pointed out (see comment below), you may then be able to successfully send a message of, say, 1MB size -- but that doesn't necessarily mean the recipient is able to receive (let alone read) it. Consider the 300kB limit as &quot;smallest common denominator&quot; between your phones capability, your carriers capability/configuration and the receivers capability.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So if you are pretty sure what you are doing (say, you know your phone can handle 500k at least, the recipients phone can do so as well, and &lt;em&gt;both&lt;/em&gt; your carriers support it), increasing the limit might enable you to exchange MMS up to 500k &lt;em&gt;with that recipient&lt;/em&gt; -- while failing to do so with others.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To me, this was never a question. If I need send some message, I use email. It's cheaper than MMS, and works between phones and PCs and Macs and... Exception: the recipient has an &quot;older phone model&quot; without email capabilities. But then chances are good it cannot handle MMS either -- so I have to stick to 160 chars with SMS telling him to lookup his mail :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="166630" LastEditDate="2016-07-08T12:47:05.640" LastActivityDate="2016-07-08T12:47:05.640" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Internal storage (as well as some others which use &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_memory#NAND_memories&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;NAND-Flash&lt;/a&gt;) on Android uses a block size of 128kB.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Especially video files are a bit larger, so they do not fit in a single &quot;block&quot; on the file system. In order to store them, they are split and spread about multiple blocks. This usually is no problem, as there is some &quot;index&quot; holding all the information of where those blocks are and what file they belong to. However: On a crash, some of that information might be lost -- while other parts have been preserved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So your recovery process was 100% able to restore those files where complete information was available. I don't know what you used, but many of those recovery tools additionally scan all &quot;unused blocks&quot; (where the &quot;index&quot; says there's nothing stored currently) for data fragments, and this way discovers some additional files. But sometimes it's not possible to get all their pieces together, or do so in the correct order. Because of this, some of your videos might play for a few seconds (blocks), until the &quot;lost information&quot; part is reached.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I hope my explanation was understandable; I went for easy understanding instead of precise technologic terms.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As to your question on how to restore the missing parts: I'm afraid they are lost. But if you update your question and add information on what you used to restore your files, plus how you did it, we can look into it. One word straight ahead: I hope you didn't write anything on that SD card since -- or chances for restauration are really low.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First thing to make sure on data loss: AVOID WRITING TO THAT MEDIUM UNTIL YOU HAVE ALL YOUR DATA RESTORED (or all hope to restore them is lost)!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;First steps on data loss&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STOP WRITING&lt;/strong&gt; to the device you lost data from (in your case, the SD card). Lost data might still be left more-or-less intact somewhere on the medium, but the corresponding blocks are marked &quot;unused&quot; -- so each new write lowers your chances on a successful recovery&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Make sure all subsequent access to the device is read-only. While you might not have access to a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_blocker&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Write Blocker&lt;/a&gt;, some SD-cards offer a corresponding switch (use it!), or some card readers might provide something like that. With a Linux/Unix system you are well off also, as it is quite easy to explitly mount devices read-only.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Best idea is to make a block-level copy of the medium. On Linux/Unix, this can be done using the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_%28Unix%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;dd&lt;/a&gt; command. This copy can be done to an equivalent medium (which in your case would be another 16GB SD card, best of the same brand), but also to a file -- which then can be mounted (again, best read-only) as a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_device&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Loopback device&lt;/a&gt;. All susequent steps should use the so-created &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_image&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;disk image&lt;/a&gt;: This ensures, even if some action fails and destroys something here, your original medium remains untouched, providing an additional safety layer.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Having created a disk image, optionally make a copy of that again (easy if it is a file -- otherwise just repeat the first procedure with the image as source). This provides another level of safety, as, having broken something on the 2nd image, you needn't touch the original, but can start again from the first copy.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Having created and mounted the image, as described in the previous steps, you now can try with all available recovery tools to get as much data restored as possible. If one tool doesn't restore enough, try the next, and so on. If the image breaks, see previous step.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Having all data (or as much as was possible) restored, there's not much more you can do. You might decide to keep one of the images and/or the original. If not all data was restored successfully, you might even decide to send the original plus the image to some forensics specialist or data recovery service.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;On the seventh day He rested from his work ;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Useful tools&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are a lot of tools available to help you recover your data. I cannot mention them all here -- but at least a few should be named. Some are addressing the end user, coming with a nice GUI -- others are rather intended for the forensics specialist, coming with a lot of command-line switches, and again others might provide both.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wondershare.com/data-recovery/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Wondershare Data Recovery&lt;/a&gt; was already mentioned being used by the OP.

This step is optional, and should help avoiding trouble when re-installing the apps.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;now put the card into your new phone. All your data (stored on the card) will be immediately available.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;hopefully you've configured your device with the same Google account -- so now you can go and re-install those apps.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Alternatively, if your old phone has sufficient internal memory, instead of uninstalling the apps (step 2) you could simply move them to internal memory. Then, if you configured your phone to backup apps+data to the Google cloud, you should be able to just &quot;sync them back&quot; to your new phone (in step 5).

Those .img's are different to the normal ones that is out there, they use Samsung's RFS (Not sure what R means, but its &lt;strong&gt;F&lt;/strong&gt;ile &lt;strong&gt;S&lt;/strong&gt;ystem and is proprietary to Samsung) - this is optional, the clue would be in the name of the file - if it contains &lt;em&gt;PDA&lt;/em&gt; in it, use it, if not, uncheck this and follow on, if using this to flash the device...&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Phone&lt;/strong&gt; - When flashing a ROM for Samsung device, depending on the model, there will be usually, a file similar to this &lt;em&gt;XXXX-REVnn-ALL-low-YYYYY.tar.md5&lt;/em&gt; Again, this will be an all in one archive as explained for the &lt;em&gt;PDA&lt;/em&gt;, the distinction and big clue, is the former is for tablets, the other is for smartphones (That's what have played with - just doubly check and make sure this is correct, have a wifi-only tablet here, and it uses the Phone when flashing - O_o).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CSC&lt;/strong&gt; - This is some country code used for the region to flash the ROM against, XE is Europe, AU is Australia, and so on, this part can throw you off, its more then for tracking what region this is based of, in &lt;em&gt;terms of localization and language support&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;And more importantly&lt;/strong&gt;, for Kies to recognize the region and to determine if there's firmware update available. It is quite possible to have a CSC that can be limited to one country. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another aspect of the Phone and CSC is, some would expect the name of the file for the Phone to be near same as CSC,  for example, P1010XWKC1 is the froyo firmware, but does not have a PDA in the filename... just to highlight that firmware for Samsung devices can be inconsistent at times.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So with that in mind, here's the general guidelines for flashing a ROM, &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Re-Partition - do not check, unless you have the appropriate PIT file for your device. This will wipe all your data.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time are both checked.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;PIT&lt;/em&gt; - mandatory, ensure you have the right file for your device.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If its smartphone, ensure &lt;em&gt;Phone&lt;/em&gt; is selected and the appropriate file is picked from the file browser.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If it's non-smartphone, ensure &lt;em&gt;PDA&lt;/em&gt; is selected and the appropriate file is picked from the file browser.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;CSC - ensure you have the right region for this.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Before doing any flashing business on Samsung, ensure it is in &lt;em&gt;Download mode&lt;/em&gt;, And away you go, Odin will extract the archives and performs check-sum first to ensure integrity of the files within the archive and start, ambiguously, uploading to device, or from device's viewpoint downloading!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If there is a kernel update, similar principle to flashing ROM, but with one notable exception - Un-check the &lt;em&gt;Re-Partition&lt;/em&gt;, specify the kernel file which would go in under &lt;em&gt;PDA&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;Phone&lt;/em&gt; as well, that depends! Omit the CSC as its not really used for the kernel flashing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Phew, this Odin can be confusing, armed with inconsistent filenames so to emphasize, &lt;em&gt;double-check around first before doing anything with Odin&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In all fairness though, Odin is actually a lot more safer than Kies from the flashing business viewpoint, be prudent and happy flashing :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4003" LastEditorUserId="42608" LastEditDate="2016-03-30T21:06:22.077" LastActivityDate="2016-03-30T21:06:22.077" CommentCount="6" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The easiest (attention, black humor) is turning the device off, next to switching it to airplane mode. In general these two things are not worth a consideration -- but with all things operable, I've seen no smartphone yet lasting more than 2 days. My old HTC Buzz currently makes it a week (7 days, and still 40%+ left) -- but it neither has a SIM card inserted, nor Wifi enabled (so you see, most energy goes for being permanent online; I just carry the Buzz as backup, since I didn't yet transfer all apps to my new phone). My Motorola Droid 2 ends up at about 70% at the end of the day (after about 17h runtime; so it would basically last ~2 days), and I'm not really doing that much.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But to provide something useful, here comes a short (and incomplete) list:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;One of the largest energy consumer is the display -- so this area is where you can save most:&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;make the display timeout as small as possible (and just as large as needed). 30s is a good value.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;you probably do not need 100% brightness, so turn it down as low as possible. Handicap: if it is not bright enough when you need it, it's hard to find the appropriate setting. On some devices/ROMs some toggle-switches are integrated into the status area (if not, there are apps to do this), so you can blindly draw it down and hit the correct corner to toggle it up.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;at least on the Motorola Droid, there's one consumer clearly topping the display using twice as much: UMTS up/download. So if you do not really need to constantly transfer big data, or rely on UMTS as there's no GSM available (unlikely), switch 3G off and force your phone to GSM mode. Not relevant for data only, but also for talk (just with less energy difference).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;WiFi is also a main consumer -- even in standby. So when not needed, switch it off (same for Bluetooth).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;as we are in this category: Though often suggested, GPS standby is not worth mentioning -- as long as it stays standby. Only problem here are apps that will then make use of it for localized ads and the like. So if you rarely use GPS, just turn it off as well.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I could almost write a book on this, as there would be so much more to be mentioned. So just some little additional hints concerning apps which might be of assistance:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=androidcap.batterysaver&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Battery Saver&lt;/a&gt; has an interesting concept: Running a service in the background, it regularly checks the systems report on the strength of cell and Wifi signal (the system updates those data either, so that's no costly action). Finding one (or both) of them too weak to be useful (e.g. if you're sitting in a bunker, or some Faraday box), it switches them completely off -- and checks in intervals whether it makes sense to turn them back on. This is especially useful if you often experience &quot;dead zones&quot;, where your cell radio would then power up to max, desperately trying to find some cell tower. And talking about &quot;limiting your smartphone experience&quot; makes no sense here: you either get no contact, as thee's no signal ;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.latedroid.juicedefender&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;JuiceDefender&lt;/a&gt; is available in multiple versions (ranging from basic to plus to ultimate), and some hold it very high. It tries to save energy in several ways -- the best known being to &quot;stutter&quot; your data, by switching off all background sync, only permitting it in intervals. It offers much more possibilities, also depending on the version used.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, these are only very basic hints -- there's much more one could do. So you could use some Profile apps like e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Tasker&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.SmartDyne.Donate.EasyProfiles&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;EasyProfiles&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alfray.timeriffic&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Timeriffic&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kebab.Llama&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Llama&lt;/a&gt; -- to adjust your settings based on different situations. So you can e.g. put your Android device to airplane mode when you sleep (time based), adjust screen timeout when reading (&quot;when  runs&quot;), switch Wifi off/on when leaving/returning home (location based), and many other things. Guess you've got the idea :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're still awake at this point, and like to read more, checkout &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/476/what-can-i-do-to-increase-battery-life-on-my-android-device&quot;&gt;What can I do to increase battery life on my Android device?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:25.930" LastActivityDate="2012-08-03T15:50:36.773" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I believe it is short for Dalvik Executable, but I'm not sure if I'm remembering that correctly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An &lt;code&gt;.odex&lt;/code&gt; file is an Optimized .dex file (hence the 'o'), meaning that it has basically been pre-compiled for a specific platform. The advantage to this is that startup time is much faster since the VM doesn't have to perform any optimizing at startup/runtime. The disadvantages are 1) That it takes up some extra space and 2) An odexed app won't run properly if it's put onto another device, and it must have the associated .odex file to run at all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you install an app, Android will ananyze the &lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; and setup the device's Dalvik Cache with an optimized version of its code, so the app will start and run faster (after a factory-reset of your device, it does so for &lt;strong&gt;all&lt;/strong&gt; pre-installed apps -- and after wiping the Dalvik cache, which is possible from the recovery menu with most CustomROMs, even for all user apps -- which is why the first boot takes so much longer than subsequent boots).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, when an &amp;quot;odex&amp;quot; is found, it would simply be copied to the Dalvik Cache. As eldarerathis pointed out, the &lt;code&gt;.odex&lt;/code&gt; was built for specific hardware (reminds me of Assembly) -- so if that &amp;quot;specific hardware&amp;quot; is not the one used by the current device, you will certainly run into trouble.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2012-08-04T18:57:12.950" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The first part of the card is partitioned with a FAT32 partition for easy interoperability, because Windows and other OSes only mount the first partition in a removable drive, &lt;strong&gt;if&lt;/strong&gt; they can mount it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Data2sd is &lt;em&gt;basically&lt;/em&gt; an init script (running on system boot) that mounts this ext2 partition as the &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; directory of the system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Credit to user &lt;code&gt;Anurag pandey&lt;/code&gt;@xda-developers&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="7813" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2012-12-01T09:34:57.440" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Generally spoken, I'd say moving app data should be preferred: If you move the Dalvik Cache, it would affect &lt;strong&gt;all&lt;/strong&gt; your apps -- while moving the app data only affects apps which store some data (and by &quot;some&quot; I mean &quot;data size exceeds their Dalvik-Cache size&quot;), so a good guess is it affects only a few apps.

I'd suggest starting with the app data. A class 10 card should provide sufficient speed -- so if the results are acceptable to you, stay with this. Otherwise, go back and try with the Dalvik Cache.

No root required anymore.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're not yet running ICS -- no way to really stop that without rooting your device. Then you have the choice to freeze or even completely remove the crap, e.g. with the excellent &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Titanium Backup&lt;/a&gt; -- which, as a &quot;side-effect&quot; (&lt;em&gt;lol&lt;/em&gt;) gives you the possibility to make complete backups of all apps and their settings, and that even scheduled. And for cloud-lovers, TB has support for Dropbox built in as well...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Other non-root solutions are only half-hearted: Without root, you cannot uninstall the pre-loaded bloat, and you cannot stop it from being autmatically launched (yeah, some apps promise they can -- but they are just shooting them as soon as they start, so im some cases they start again and get shot again and... you don't want that.

I have cleared the data of almost every single App I have installed but still if I look at the Storage tab of the settings I see the following (a couple of hours ago):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/5mYGnm.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;700M+643M+0.2M+64M+98M is clearly not 27G&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I get the feeling that the rightmost grey part of the bar should be a bit more than 379MB(the Available part)... (SD Card at the bottom of the picture is the external one, never mind that one).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've tried almost every disk usage app available out there and they all show similar results, the following is DiskView (picture taken after I removed a few apps):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/dDI4Zm.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;DiskView output&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(in this picture &quot;SD Card&quot; is the internal one...)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One thing all the disk usage apps seems to have in common is that unless the device is rooted, they cannot see what is in some directories (like /data) which makes me think it is either Android itself (4.0.3 on this device) which has some kind of cache which is misbehaving or that some process is producing extreme amounts of logs somewhere.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sorry for this long intro, but the basic question is: How do I proceed? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I guess one alternative is to find what is worth backing up and do a factory reset or something but I wold really like to find out what happened first.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Rooting it is an alternative which would probably help me find out more but I sort of like it as it is (except for this issue). If it is needed to resolve it I could of course do it but it feels like you shouldn't have to with an appliance like this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there another way forward?

Though not all of them applied in this case, I will still include all of them -- as in another case they might prove helpful:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A good starting point to check is &lt;em&gt;apps -&gt; manage apps&lt;/em&gt; in Androids system menu, which lists all apps+data and can be sorted by size, to identify the &quot;biggest consumers&quot;. While here, you can &quot;delete&quot; too-big caches (per app)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;some directories in the file system cannot be investigated without having root privileges, so the preferred &lt;code&gt;du -k|sort -n&lt;/code&gt; (to find the biggest files) would e.g. skip directories below &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;still, having a terminal emulator available (&lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Android Terminal Emulator&lt;/a&gt; would be a good candidate), at least a &lt;code&gt;df -h&lt;/code&gt; could show where free space goes toward zero (see screenshot below). In case the &lt;code&gt;-h&lt;/code&gt; parameter (&quot;human readable&quot;) is not understood on your system, you might try to replace it by &lt;code&gt;-m&lt;/code&gt; (&quot;megabytes&quot;), &lt;code&gt;-k&lt;/code&gt; (&quot;kilobytes&quot;), or omit it completely.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The article &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lindusembedded.com/blog/2011/08/04/debugging-android-core-dumps/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Debugging Android core dumps&lt;/a&gt; describes &quot;core dumps&quot; under Android are called &quot;Tombstones&quot;, and stored globally as &lt;code&gt;/data/tombstones/tombstone_nn&lt;/code&gt;, with &quot;nn&quot; simply being a counter. As many crashes were reported, this might be a place &quot;filling up&quot; (see below). But only 2.5MB could be located here in this case.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;According to &lt;em&gt;Android Forensics&lt;/em&gt; by Andrew Hoog, it might be worth diving into &lt;code&gt;/data/local&lt;/code&gt;: &lt;em&gt;The “/data/local” directory is important as it allows shell (the user account nonrooted phones run adbd as) read/write access. When an app is installed, it is first copied to “/data/local.”&lt;/em&gt; Which means, even on non-rooted devices one should be able to dig in here.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.sdm&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;SD Maid - System cleaning tool&lt;/a&gt; might find some more orphans -- but without root access, this apps capabilities are limited.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If the &quot;big egg&quot; cannot be found and removed, one can either start to uninstall some apps, cleaning &quot;big data&quot; from others (see first step), or, as a last resort, there always remains the factory-reset which should clean up everything -- but be aware: all your downloaded apps and all your data (on internal storage only, of course -- SD card will not be affected) will get removed as well when you do this.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;if still unable to solve the issue, a last resort is a factory reset. But before doing that it would be good to be prepared for the next time, so one last chance are a few steps immediately before the factory reset:&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;backup as much data/apps as you need and can&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;switch to airplane mode -- the market must &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; know what we are doing now&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;one by one, uninstall your apps (for system apps which cannot be uninstalled: uninstall their updates, clear cache and data). After each uninstall, check your free space for unexpected &quot;big jumps&quot;. If such a &quot;jump&quot; happens: Note the app uninstalled at this place -- it has to be a/the evil one. Continue if it still doesn't make up for the missing space&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;when finished with the last one, go to the &quot;point of no return&quot;, pull the plug, do the factory reset. It's over now ;(&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;after the reboot, re-configure your &quot;virgin device&quot; with your original market account data (you remember them hopefully?). As we made sure the market stood uninformed of our actions from step 2 on, you should now be able to re-sync your apps and some data. The apps for sure, the data only provided you synced them with the market before step 2.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;keep an eye on the &quot;evil app(s)&quot;, if you detected any at step 3. You may want to remove these (now or later).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The following screenshot shows the output of &lt;code&gt;df -h&lt;/code&gt; on a Motorola Droid 2. As you can see, there are 2 mount points on internal storage which could be candidates for &quot;getting filled&quot;: &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; (the most likely -- and got the hit in this case) plus &lt;code&gt;/cache&lt;/code&gt;.

Using a terminal emulator (see above), you can &lt;code&gt;cd /data/tombstones&lt;/code&gt; and do a &lt;code&gt;ls -l&lt;/code&gt; to see whether there are any tombstones, and what size they occupy. Unfortunately, all tombstones are owned by system, and permissions are set to &lt;code&gt;rwx------&lt;/code&gt; -- so if that's your troublemaker: you cannot remove them without root :( Have a good backup (huh? how, without root?), and probably a factory-reset will be your last resort...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="16575" LastEditDate="2012-08-10T18:16:47.263" LastActivityDate="2012-08-10T18:16:47.263" CommentCount="13" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Its more of, being able to take a SIM card from another network and pop it in. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, buy a handset from Orange, and using a T-Mobile SIM card in the new Orange handset, the T-Mobile will not work as the handset is locked into the Orange network and thusly refuse any other SIM card except Orange's own. By unlocking the Orange handset, you can effectively pop in the T-Mobile SIM card in place and continue using the handset as if it was &quot;bought from T-Mobile&quot; instead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A unlock code would be required (There are plenty of websites that can do this for you for a fee), some operators will charge you for the unlock code - again this is dependent on whether you're on contract or pay-as-you-go - check the terms and conditions of that first.

KIES is one! Now, this was going back about 18 months ago, so I do not know if that applies now.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you are thinking of flashing a custom ROM, double check to ensure that the handset can indeed be flashed with the network lock in place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4003" LastActivityDate="2012-08-07T14:47:55.617" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Also copy the same apk to SD card folder.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now when you restart the tab it read as 'android upgrading', but soon you will get message &quot;Unfortunately google play stopped working&quot;.

For that time being it will work until you reboot or shutdown and start. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So use that way it hardly takes 5-6 seconds to install &lt;em&gt;Google Play&lt;/em&gt; &lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; from sdcard whenever you start the tab.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;PLEASE NOTE it is very important that to have the android &lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; in root of &lt;code&gt;/system/app&lt;/code&gt; folder.

Look under &lt;strong&gt;System Settings&lt;/strong&gt; / &lt;strong&gt;Apps&lt;/strong&gt; / &lt;strong&gt;All&lt;/strong&gt; (sweep tabs to the left, if &lt;strong&gt;All&lt;/strong&gt; is not visible).  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Select the &lt;strong&gt;Clear defaults&lt;/strong&gt; button (near the bottom) on the &lt;strong&gt;App info&lt;/strong&gt; page for the Android stock music player (&lt;strong&gt;Google Play Music&lt;/strong&gt; in my case, unsure if that one is your Android &lt;em&gt;stock&lt;/em&gt; player).  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If it asks for confirmation, confirm &lt;strong&gt;yes&lt;/strong&gt;.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The next time you search for and select a local audio file, you will then be offered the opportunity to choose your preferred player app (enable the &lt;strong&gt;Use by default for this action&lt;/strong&gt; checkbox, if you wish).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can exclude locations from being scanned by the media scanner by placing a file named &lt;code&gt;.nomedia&lt;/code&gt; within those directories.

A lot of those kernels come from the pure stock kernel line of sources found on CAF, what these manufacturers do is take those stock sources, modify them to suit based on the board/chipset used, also, implement their own drivers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Take a good look around you, there's variations of touchscreens, variations of wifi chipsets, not to mention, accelerometer, sensors, batteries, compass, sound, graphics.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Taking one kernel source from for example HTC will not work on a Samsung, and vice versa. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The manufacturers are free to cherry-pick or out-source various bits that get incorporated into the circuit board. There is no hard or fast rules involved. Hence the lot of hacking/modifications to get the kernel to work properly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You must not ever, compare to desktop Linux distribution kernels in which it has PCI, PCI-Express, SATA, VGA, SVGA, USB, Ethernet as they are a totally different ball-park game. The major differences with CentOS and with Android's Linux Kernel is this - &lt;strong&gt;ALL&lt;/strong&gt; drivers are compiled either as modules or built-in, hence any Linux distribution will simply &quot;work out of the box&quot;. Again, with desktop Linux distributions - you have one architecture - x86 hence one Linux kernel from say a Dell PC, can work out of the box on a Lenovo &lt;strong&gt;provided&lt;/strong&gt; that the bog-standard drivers are compiled.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Don't forget, in the Android world, there's variations of the kernel built for specific ARM chipsets, such as ARMv6, ARMv7, there's TEGRA, there's EXYNOS, and they are binary incompatible with one another. Hence if a kernel is compiled for TEGRA, forget it, it will not work on ARMv7! &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The reason some kernels on Android appear to be &quot;broken&quot; is down to the manufacturer. Some (Zte is one very good example) release a butchered source that may compile from source but fails to boot due to a missing driver that is not covered by the GPLv2 or GPLv3 licence. That's the problem, hence some hackers have to go scouring around github looking for some clues; some manufacturers, if not all, do comply. The current incarnation of Zte's source is purportedly to be 2.6.35.7, but in reality its actually 2.6.32.9 source base with a lot of modifications thus does not represent the true kernel source for 2.6.35.7!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is where the manufacturers have to release their respective sources, not just out of being compliant with GPLv2 or later, but rather, for the community to be able to mod it, such as adding overclocking capabilities.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hence there's hacking involved behind the scenes and a lot of messing about with drivers trying to get it to work, and its not easy to debug either.. Some drivers may be cross-licensed, &lt;strong&gt;BUT&lt;/strong&gt; cannot be distributed depending on the clause and conditions as negotiated. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thankfully, that's all changed now with kernel 3.x.x. line of sources, as Android drivers are now integrated into the mainstream sources.

This causes various issues, because the device configuration are not available on compile time, and it is not feasible to compile a generic kernel with all drivers due to space limitation (whereas most desktop distros simply had all drivers compiled into modules loaded from an initramfs). Therefore developers had to figure out which drivers to package for each particular device. Not only that, each drivers generally have a dozen or so of compile time options to toggle various driver features, and manufacturers usually do not release their official configuration (the worst offenders don't even open source their drivers, or didn't keep upstream's copy of the drivers up to date). Because manufacturer's don't release their configurations, often the slightly different configuration that the developer uses will expose subtle bugs that doesn't exist with manufacturer's configuration. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Driver programming is much more difficult than application programming, as there is no kernel that shield you from the fickle hardware that have a specific real-time timing requirements and the such, and this means even having a different performance characteristic may cause the driver to miss some hard real time events from the hardware; these misses may surface as either bugs or performance issues. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another issue is binary incompatibility. There are two cause of binary incompatibility, first is CPU type, which has been covered by t0mm13b well, but the other issue which is more relevant to porting is the ABI incompatibility (application binary interface). If manufacturers don't open source their drivers, then developers had to use the compiled module from a stock ROM. This raises various ABI incompatibility issues, since the driver modules itself have specific expectations about, for example, struct layout and function calling parameters, and when the kernel is compiled, it does not have the header file to describe the ABI at the time the driver is compiled, so developers had to reverse engineer the driver to create a header file or the header files in the source tree might have been modified heavily since the driver is compiled and developers had to revert those modifications to make the kernel compatible again with the driver's ABI. Unlike compiling from source, compiling for binary driver will not trigger compilation error due to function parameter mismatch or struct incompatibility, it will simply just crash your device while it's running, and debugging these issues are very difficult. In the PC world, we're familiar with the mess that nVidia and ATi left us, due to their insistence on releasing binary only drivers, imagine having that mess for all drivers, imagine the &quot;fun&quot; it creates.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;PC hardware are also generally better standardized than mobile hardware, most PCs don't need drivers for vibrators, accelerometer, gyroscope, 3G radio, proximity sensor, NFC, etc. Even on devices that have 3G, it usually connects to the hardware using standardized connections like PCMCIA or PCI-E.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="482" LastActivityDate="2012-08-11T05:30:15.017" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Generally speaking, you could take a program or peripheral device from one PC-compatible and put it into another, and expect it to work.  That ability is useful enough that people have continued to demand it even as the technology evolved.  You can put a PCI Express card in any modern PC just like you could put an ISA card in any PC clone back then.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Smartphones have no such history.  They're designed as monolithic products, a complete system consisting of hardware and software that &quot;just works&quot; as-is.  There's no expectation that people will take parts out of one phone and put them into another, so engineers don't have to take interoperability into account when they design their products.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even within the Linux kernel source tree, there's &lt;a href=&quot;https://lwn.net/Articles/439314/&quot;&gt;a lot of fragmentation in the drivers for ARM platforms&lt;/a&gt;.  Since phones are usually designed behind closed doors, engineering teams at different companies often end up doing duplicate work, designing basically the same hardware as their competitors and then writing their own drivers for their own design.  Once they're done and the product is released, they go straight to working on the next one; it's not worth their time to go back and refactor the drivers for past products or merge them with competitors' drivers.  The result is a plethora of one-off drivers for devices that are similar but not quite the same.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In addition, smartphones are usually based on &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_on_a_chip&quot;&gt;SOC&lt;/a&gt;s that have specialized hardware integrated together with the processor.  For some of this, it can be more than a matter of whether to load or not load a certain driver; the kernel as a whole may need to be built with special configuration options for running on one SOC, which are incompatible with the special options needed to run on another SOC.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16488" LastActivityDate="2012-08-11T19:27:13.220" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I do come from a programming background, so I didn't anticipate it giving me any trouble.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have a Droid Razr and I had Gingerbread 2.3.6 on it before I rooted it.

I waited about 5-10 minutes after rebooting - the Motorola logo came up on my phone, followed by the Safestrap boot options, then nothing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I rebooted and got into the Safestrap menu and tried to restore my backup ROM.  The restore failed.  I tried formatting the device through Safestrap and it still didn't start up.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I followed the directions &lt;a href=&quot;http://droidrazrroot.com/droid-razr-unroot/how-to-unrootunbrick-your-rooted-droid-razr-back-to-android-2-3-66-12-173/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; up to step 7 to unroot/unbrick.  This uses Droid Razr Utility 1.42, and everything I tried came back with a &quot;command failed&quot; message.  I thought it was a little strange that the only option it was giving me was to restore version 6.12.173 while I had 2.3.6, but I figured I would at least try it, and I thought that was why I was getting the &quot;command failed&quot; message.  After googling, I downloaded Droid Razr Utility 1.8 and tried restoring it to 6.16.211 (official kernel) - again, the only option it gave me.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After that, I can no longer enter Safestrap.  The phone doesn't boot - it goes through the Motorola logo and then shows a small bar of static right at the bottom of the screen.  Fastboot recovery and restoring the phone to factory settings makes an error show up on the screen (the Android mascot and an exclamation point in a triangle).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can still enter into Android recovery and I still have access to the contents of my SD card.  I can see the folder where my Safestrap backup should be, but there's nothing in there that the phone recognizes as bootable.  I can still also access the Eclipse.zip file.

My signal strength was lucky to get higher than half strength and often had an E or H next to the signal indicator instead of a 3G ledgend.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have since upgraded again to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cyanogenmod.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;CyanogenMod&lt;/a&gt;9 (4.0 ICS) with no change to signal strength.

Apps aren't &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; checked or pre-screened, they're simply submitted, and anyone can download them. Any kind of app can be submitted to the Play store, even one that hooks into the core operating system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a double-edged sword, as a developer can write a malicious app, one that steals your data, disables your phone, and other nasty things. Usually, only when enough people complain will Google take notice and remove an app.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While Google &lt;em&gt;does&lt;/em&gt; take some measures to protect its users, the protections applied are automated, and apps sometimes do slip through. &lt;em&gt;(See &lt;a href=&quot;http://googlemobile.blogspot.de/2012/02/android-and-security.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Bouncer&lt;/a&gt;.

Apple hires testing teams. They will manually inspect your app, to make sure it does what it says, without bugs, doesn't use private or secret functions on the iOS device, and so on. Apps are run in a &lt;em&gt;sand box&lt;/em&gt; and cannot make any major changes to the way the device works. Since all apps are pre-screened before they are posted on the App Store, there is almost no chance of an application being malicious (virus, data stealing, etc).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for whether or not you actually &lt;em&gt;need&lt;/em&gt; an anti-virus app, well, &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/341/is-an-antivirus-really-needed-for-android&quot;&gt;this question&lt;/a&gt; may help answer that.

However, some chances are left if your device is rooted -- but they are not that easy to achieve: You would need a complete (physical) file system copy from your internal storage, and pull that to your workstation. Once you've achieved that, you can use a process called &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_carving&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;File Carving&lt;/a&gt; to get hold of even deleted files. This might get especially tricky as most devices use &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAFFS&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;YAFFS2&lt;/a&gt; for their internal storage -- a file system rarely used on any workstation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some File Carving software solutions include:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digitalforensicssolutions.com/Scalpel/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Scalpel&lt;/a&gt; available for Linux (prefered), Mac OS X, Windows&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://foremost.sourceforge.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;foremost&lt;/a&gt; Linux; can also work on Images created with &lt;code&gt;dd&lt;/code&gt; -- so if you were able to create such on your device, the YAFFS2 barrier is gone)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;TestDisk&lt;/a&gt; supports a lot of operating systems&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Concerning this special case (especially with YAFFS2), I'd say the best approach would be to go with a &lt;code&gt;dd&lt;/code&gt; image and foremost.

It basically warms up the receiver with GPS status data such as time, coarse location and most of all GPS satellite orbit location data (ephemeris data download).

That you might get away with but could induce side effects with the stock Android applications such as Gallery, Music Player. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The one thing that springs to mind, albeit from a technical view-point, would be, to have a Android service running in the background that is monitoring file access to those files in question and the service could trigger a rudimentary dialog box prompting for the password based on the list of files the service can monitor based on your choosing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A bit of quick google-fu yielded this &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.veryandroid.fileprotector&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;hit&lt;/a&gt; on this app that might be the very thing you're looking for.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;With VeryAndroid File Protector, you can pick files and folders on&#xA;  your android phone or computer to protect with password.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Actually, that is what I have mentioned above!

Continuing with that assumption, other modules, libraries depend on this file to get images, sound etc.  For example the boot animation sound is embedded in this file.  Every resource will generally be given an identifier through with the other modules load and they will just assume or take it for granted that such resource will be available in this file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Generally there will be a manifest file which will index all the resources (images, sounds etc) against its identifier.  The code segments that maps the resources against its identifier and that fetches the requested resource will be compiled against one platform/version/library and hence tweaking and recompiling if not done carefully will make the framework-res.apk incompatible with its consuming modules.  Depending on how things are implemented, you would get away with an error, but developers can't expect to verify everything and they have to take certain things for granted (like presence of a resource as it is they who had planted it).  Hence usually the consuming module freezes and hence the whole phone appears to be frozen as system modules as well depends on this apk.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="9556" LastActivityDate="2012-08-17T07:42:49.853" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

A bit about the Carrier-IQ as quoted from &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_IQ&quot;&gt;wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;It provides diagnostic analysis of smartphones to the wireless&#xA;  industry. The company says that its software is deployed in over 150&#xA;  million devices worldwide.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thing is, no one really know for certain if they actually did, as the security world got &quot;excited&quot; about it and started to slam-back on the manufacturers - Apple, HTC, Samsung, Sony, to name but a few. And exposed the ruse behind it, all of a sudden that hype fed its way into the Android world, and guess what happened - an app appeared on the Google Play Store, &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout.carrieriqdetector&quot;&gt;Carrier-IQ detector&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What I was emphasizing, is how the paranoia made its way into the norms of human emotions - yes, a lot of people were really mad and demanded to know - was there a breach of privacy?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By the way, if you look on the main Carrier-IQ site &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.carrieriq.com/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, there's a ticker that states as of now, 147,918,175 handsets deployed.... (Ok, am not really sure if they are trolling us with that ticker but questionable as it was stated on the wikipedia that is &quot;&lt;em&gt;deployed in over 150million devices&lt;/em&gt;&quot; heck it aint even there!!!)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yes it is quite possible that there are back-doors available to do just that kind of thing, and is commonly associated with stock ROMs straight from the factory! Zte had one, and was reported a while ago and its publicly available on &lt;a href=&quot;http://pastebin.com/wamYsqTV&quot;&gt;pastebin&lt;/a&gt;. For the sake of historical information, I'll quote it here in case it gets lost.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The ZTE Score M is an Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) phone available in&#xA;  the United States on MetroPCS, made by Chinese telecom ZTE&#xA;  Corporation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;There is a setuid-root application at /system/bin/sync_agent that&#xA;  serves no function besides providing a root shell backdoor on the&#xA;  device.  Just give the magic, hard-coded password to get a root shell:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;$ sync_agent ztex1609523&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;h1&gt;id uid=0(root) gid=0(root)&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Nice backdoor, ZTE.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It does show one thing and one thing alone, Stock ROMs! All too often people can be naive in thinking that just because its &quot;Stock ROM&quot;, it does its job.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, not to induce fear or paranoia into anyone, which I certainly would not wish to do so, it helps to have a cool collected thoughts about this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The dose of reality will hit home, once you realize how, custom ROMs have a better advantage over stock ROMs, they are compiled from source code and is publicly available, such as CyanogenMod, AOSP, CAF, AOKP; rest assured, you will be equally better off with those ROMs in the long term. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why?&lt;/strong&gt; For the most part those custom ROMs would be rooted anyway, which will enable you as a user, to have a tight rein on the handset &lt;strong&gt;in the way you want it&lt;/strong&gt;, not some fancy-schmancy stock skin on top of the ROM, such as HTC Sense, Samsung TouchWiz, Sony TimeScape etc. And if the developer of said ROM is trusted to be good, i.e. good community feedback, then yes you would be pretty safe.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What you can do to re-inforce the belief that a custom ROM is better than stock any day is this, knowing that the ROM is rooted, you can use Droidwall/Hi-Surfing, or another type of firewall, to block access to those &quot;sneaky&quot; apps like that. That will put in a level of assurance, but having said that, its not about justifying why having a rooted ROM in the first place, rather its, to empower yourself over the handset and use it in the way you want. If you don't like an app, uninstall it, if an app requires root - then so be it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It does make you think and ponder for a bit in why carriers would rather have you to be stuck with a stock ROM, and a locked bootloader i.e. &quot;rooting will void the warranty&quot;, &quot;unlock the bootloader - you're on your own&quot;, but there's always two sides to the same coin, if anyone can get their hands on a handset, and unlock the bootloader, it will simply factory reset and wipe the data upon unlocking and reboot!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So you can see how, from a security viewpoint in what's going on and the decisions involved. I know, when I made a ROM for Zte Blade, I was trusting that the source does not have any malicious code, well, it was coming from AOSP source on google and yes, its rooted, and users feedback is good. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There's a lot of thought in what was said, and yes, that kind of thing can be blocked - If you want to be really secure - block the following under Droidwall here,&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Download Manager, Downloads, DRM protected content storage, Media Storage.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Google Services Framework, Network Location, Google Calendar Sync, Google Contacts Sync.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;And finally, block the Linux kernel as well.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With those criteria selected, you will most certainly not be able to download remotely nor sync either. Also, pay attention to the permissions that is asked for by the app on Google Play store, be prudent and you will have nothing to fear.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4003" LastEditorUserId="4003" LastEditDate="2012-08-17T14:03:07.190" LastActivityDate="2012-08-17T14:03:07.190" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Usually people associate apps like Google Maps, Google Play Store, etc. with Android, but because of the open-source nature of Android, manufactures can sell Android devices without Google Apps and therefore avoid to pay the license fee.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Custom ROMs&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At first cyanogenmod shipped its ROM with pre-installed Google Apps. In September 2009 the founder of Cyanogen received a cease and desist letter from Google, demanding that the Google Apps not be included in the team's ROMs, since the ROM could be ported to devices which are not licensed to have the Google Apps. In turn, that would bypass the requirement for the devices to be licensed. For a few days, development on the ROM ceased, there were outcries from Android users all over the Internet, and many bloggers suspected Google had just shot itself in the foot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Eventually, an alternate method was found, whereby Google Apps are not included in the ROM proper but the Google Apps which came with a device would be backed up by the device's custom recovery or another app, and then re-installed onto the device once the new ROM was flashed. This would therefore &quot;Google-ify&quot; one's ROM. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps#Licensing&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Source&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;How to install Google Apps?&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Generally speaking:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First download the package corresponding to your version of android. Currently (november 2015), there are several &quot;distributors&quot; of Gapps available. Each typically offers a set of packages per android version, each package with more content. The apps in the packages range from a lite package with the basic apps (~100MB) to all of googles apps(200+MB). The applications themselves are untouched.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you don't want to or cannot root your device: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Flash the Gapps (&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Google Apps Package&lt;/a&gt;) zip package with a custom recovery. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You may first need to flash a custom recovery (like CWM or TWRP) using a PC tool such as Fastboot or Odin/Heimdall. This flashing in turn may require an unlocked bootloader on the phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If root is not a problem: (&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/1184/how-do-i-root-my-device&quot;&gt;See if you can root the device&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some stock recoveries will let you &quot;update with adb&quot;. Just install adb, then adb command to install is:&lt;code&gt;adb sideload gapps.zip&lt;/code&gt;--assuming the package is in the adb folder and is called gapps.zip&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You may also install a custom recovery like in the unrooted case. &#xA;Root typically allows android apps to flash a new recovery (i.e. without a pc). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;OR&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Install a ROM with the Google Framework, if it exists for your device. Though many ROM developers have followed CyanogenMod's example of separating distribution. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you flash a Gapps ROM, it may be possible to re-flash with another non-Gapps ROM afterwards while retaining the Gapps. This assumes the android versions are compatible.&#xA;Most users capable of flashing a ROM will be capable of flashing Gapps separately.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Further References&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://senk9.wordpress.com/2010/12/03/how-to-install-google-apps-gapps-on-your-android-device-phone/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;How to install Google Apps (GApps) on your Android Device / Phone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="440" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:33.700" LastActivityDate="2015-11-12T22:02:25.733" CommentCount="1" CommunityOwnedDate="2012-08-17T18:01:35.197" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Several apps available on the Playstore allow you not only to &quot;disable&quot; all of those bloatware apps (a process called &quot;freezing&quot;, see: &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/freeze-app&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;freeze-app&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;freeze-app&lt;/a&gt;), but even to completely get rid of them by uninstalling.

In my case , I'm using CM9 RC2 so I had to use the CM9 android.zip file found here:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mediafire.com/?labcx60jowrdx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://www.mediafire.com/?labcx60jowrdx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;or if that server is down in the future you might try to find it from this site again:&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mediafire.com/?labcx60jowrdx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://www.mediafire.com/?labcx60jowrdx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) the ubuntu.zip file works from the oposite site but the one from the other site does not. The one that does not work is called ubuntu-31patch.zip and it was made to flash a more up to date kernel and 3.1.10 kernel modules were also provided but this zip does not work for some reason and I can't figure out why. The one that works for me is here 2.6.24.4 i think is the kernel version number:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://dl.dropbox.com/u/60048492/transformer/Ubuntu-mountloop.zip&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://dl.dropbox.com/u/60048492/transformer/Ubuntu-mountloop.zip&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;if that does not work, you might find a new link here:&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1537566&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1537566&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;3) The sl101 sliding keyboard does not work but if you plug in an external usb keyboard, the usb keyboard will work. no idea how to get around this problem but .... having the sl101 is useless if the sliding keyboard can't get working. How lame to have to carry around a usb keyboard when there is one attached already ... really want to get this working.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;4) wireless internet does not work. I assume that is part of what the 3.1.10 patch was for but the patch doesn't work so I'm still working on this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE 20120824&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally got the android-mount.zip file working.

Other with the language guides, where it lies in the nature of this type that it has to be specific at least to the target language you want to learn. Examples here include &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ceardannan.languages.french.demo&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;French Class Demo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/JhfIa.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elky.likekids.itfree&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Italian in a Month Free&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/WXipU.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A third category should not be forgotten to mention here: Get yourself a good &lt;strong&gt;eBook Reader&lt;/strong&gt;, and add some books to it which are written in the language you want to learn. I recommend &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyersoft.moonreader&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Moon+ Reader&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/xBcn8.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; here, which already includes a huge Online Library list for multiple languages (which actually is sorted by languages even), so the reader immediately has some ressources at hand. Having trouble with some words while reading? Simply long-tap the word to open a dictionary -- either online translation, or an offline dictionary like &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ngc.fora&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Fora&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.socialnmobile.colordict&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;ColorDict&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/hvl0f.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;, which both can deal with &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stardict&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;StarDict&lt;/a&gt; files saved on the sd card. Being able to mark and even annotate with &lt;em&gt;Moon+ Reader&lt;/em&gt; (see the picture&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/xBcn8.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;), one could also use this app for other subjects/classes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/xBcn8.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Moon+ Reader&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/hvl0f.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;ColorDict&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Number four now should be obvious: There's that Youtube app one could check some &lt;strong&gt;language specific movie[clip]s&lt;/strong&gt; with. Or get some other movie player (&lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;MoboPlayer&lt;/a&gt; probably being a good choice), plus some videos in the targeted language.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Guess number 5? Right: &lt;strong&gt;Music&lt;/strong&gt;. There are plenty of music players around, and songs to pick. Repeating them over and over is baking some phrases to ones brains :) Beside this fact, there are also some audio books and language-learning audio files around.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Science&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So far on language-learning -- but your question was not restricted to that, as I just notice. So let's go for some more possibilities -- pointed out in the AP overview &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.androidpit.de/de/android/forum/thread/428406/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Formelsammlungen &amp;amp; Referenzen&lt;/a&gt; (Google Translate: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&amp;amp;tl=en&amp;amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.androidpit.de%2Fde%2Fandroid%2Fforum%2Fthread%2F428406%2FUebersicht-Formeln-Nachschlagewerke-fuer-Schule-Studium-Chemie-Mathe-Physik&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;formulas &amp;amp; references&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;). There are tons of references for chemistry, like e.g. the very famous &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.merck.pte&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Merck PTE HD&lt;/a&gt; (periodic table)&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/QJD5U.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;, mathematics calculation helpers and references like e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.daboapps.mathematics&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Mathematics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/Rgtf9.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;, physics references, electronics, stuff for engineers...

Instead, when background data is unavailable, &lt;code&gt;getActiveNetworkInfo()&lt;/code&gt; will now appear disconnected.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Vending (the internal name for the Android Market, in fact &lt;code&gt;com.android.vending&lt;/code&gt;) uses &lt;a href=&quot;https://developers.google.com/android/c2dm/&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;C2DM&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to receive install requests (take a look at its application manifest; even on ICS, it still has c2dm receivers). AFAIK, C2DM only works when background data is available.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some time ago, I read a blog post somewhere (which unfortunately I am not finding right now) explaining how the Android Market (the post was from before it was renamed) worked. IIRC, even when you asked to install an application directly on your device (instead of indirectly via the &lt;a href=&quot;https://market.android.com/&quot;&gt;https://market.android.com/&lt;/a&gt; web site), all it did was to send a request to the Google servers, which then sent your device (via C2DM) an install request. This explains why Vending needs background data&amp;mdash;it cannot do anything without being able to receive requests via C2DM from the Google servers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I do not know about Google Talk, but from what I have heard, it has used C2DM since before C2DM was available to the public. Again, this would explain why it needs background data to work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;AFAIK, background sync is completely separate from background data, other than the fact that obviously it cannot sync in the background if background data is disabled, and the fact that you could change it from within the sync screen in the settings application.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="10888" LastActivityDate="2012-08-23T01:46:10.237" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Also, the &lt;em&gt;Tasker -&gt; PSAFE&lt;/em&gt; variable can be utilized to check whether the device is in power-safe mode (&lt;em&gt;~ 1&lt;/em&gt;) or not (&lt;em&gt;!~ 1&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Conditions&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These are the harder part. As for screen on/off, it's easy: &lt;em&gt;Event -&gt; Display -&gt; Display unlocked&lt;/em&gt; for active display, &lt;em&gt;Event -&gt; Display -&gt; Display off&lt;/em&gt; for display being switched off. The harder part is to check for still running transfers -- I don't know how to do this &lt;em&gt;explicitly&lt;/em&gt;, but it probably can be done &lt;em&gt;implicitly&lt;/em&gt; via above mentioned &lt;em&gt;%PSAFE&lt;/em&gt; Tasker variable: With a running transfer, the device is less likely to be in power-safe mode. You probably need to experiment with this. Connect these conditions with the appropriate tasks to create profiles.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Periodical Checks&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For these you need to add a variable to above tasks: &lt;em&gt;%LCD&lt;/em&gt;, giving us the state of the display. So in &lt;em&gt;Variable -&gt; Variable Set&lt;/em&gt; Name=%LCD -- in 1. set to 1 (on), in 2. to 0 (off). Now create an additional profile:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Time: Repeat 15min&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;State -&gt; Variable Value %LCD ~ 0&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;State -&gt; Variable Value %PSAFE ~ 1&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So it runs all 15min, but only when the display is turned off and power-safe active. We also need an additional Task:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Net -&gt; Mobile Data: ON&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Net -&gt; Auto Sync: ON&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Tasker -&gt; Wait: 1min&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Net -&gt; Auto Sync: OFF&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Net -&gt; Mobile Data: OFF&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Adjust to your needs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Checking for possible transfers in progress&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, I'm not sure how to check whether there's an ongoing transfer. A possible solution can be found in &lt;a href=&quot;https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=&amp;amp;nomobile=true#!topic/taskerpro/vERKytZeoCs&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Google Groups&lt;/a&gt;, but I couldn't verify this.

That’s right, you reboot the device and everything goes back to normal. But, what if there was a faster way to solve your issues? Many times, the culprit of any and all failures is the shell itself. This can be easily terminated via any of the available task managers out there, but here is a better solution. XDA member appelflap has developed an app that will only reboot the Android shell. This has several advantages, like the fact that you will not have to go through menus and/or lists of apps to find the shell to stop it. Also, it is faster than performing a soft reset.

With the Phone the full software stack needs to be involved as it needs to take into account what happens when you mount the device when it's running. Also there are often multiple partitions on the phones, a raw mount would show up all the raw system files in the computer's File Manager which would be bad and things like Windows would probably try and format the Linux partitions as it can't understand them. On newer devices you can't even do a normal USB Storage mount but you have to use MTP as they use internal storage which still needs to be accessible while mounted. Technically it would be possible for them to make some kind of failsafe raw mount mode when it's plugged in while powered off (or started with some button held down), but they haven't, they do provide other methods of recovery instead. Also the firmware generally needs to be installed somehow, there are scripts and so on that run to set up things. If you have totally bricked the phone then there isn't much you can do.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But having said that flashing modern Android phones isn't too risky and actually bricking it is hard.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Firstly there are actually several images that can be flashed:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Boot loader (HBOOT)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Radio firmware&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Recovery Firmware&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;ROM Firmware&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Older devices did have some issue when flashing Radio/Boot. Specifically if you flashed them in the incorrect order and had mismatched versions you could actually brick the phone.

If you can enter any of those it should be possible to flash firmware from them (although in some cases they might have security enabled meaning you are limited to flash the official stock images, but you can generally break out of them and flash whatever you want). HBOOT allows for fastboot flashing. Recovery and the main ROM both have the flashing binary in them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally if you did totally manage to brick it, you can look at using JTAG to reverse it.

If using -all, you do not need to specify packages.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;How to backup your device:&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, you need to enable &amp;quot;USB debugging&amp;quot; on you Android device:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Go to &amp;quot;About device&amp;quot; (or &amp;quot;About phone&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;About tablet&amp;quot;) section in Settings&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Tap 7 times on &amp;quot;Build number&amp;quot; row (usually the last row). After that &amp;quot;Developer options&amp;quot; section will appear in Settings&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/AaT3F.png&quot; alt=&quot;Enabling &amp;quot;Developer options&amp;quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol start=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Go to &amp;quot;Developer options&amp;quot; section in Settings&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Tap the &amp;quot;USB Debugging&amp;quot; checkbox&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/UtBpr.png&quot; alt=&quot;Enabling &amp;quot;USB Debugging&amp;quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, on your PC from the command prompt you will need to be able to locate both the &lt;code&gt;adb&lt;/code&gt; command and your backup file. The easiest way to do this is to run the &lt;code&gt;adb&lt;/code&gt; command from the directory where &lt;code&gt;adb&lt;/code&gt; is located.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In Windows Explorer navigate to where you installed the Android SDK and &lt;code&gt;SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK&lt;/code&gt; on the &lt;code&gt;platform-tools&lt;/code&gt; folder.&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/1mXMS.png&quot; alt=&quot;shift+rightclick&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This will open a command prompt (your window will look different than mine).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In Mac's Terminal you can type &lt;code&gt;cd &lt;/code&gt; and then drag the folder &lt;strong&gt;platform-tools&lt;/strong&gt; folder from finder to the terminal window and the path will be inserted. Hit  and you will be in the right place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In Linux, I hope you know how to locate and cd to the parent directory of the adb command. You are using &lt;strong&gt;Linux&lt;/strong&gt; after all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From here type the following command:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Windows:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;adb backup -apk -shared -all -nosystem -f backup08262012.ab&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Linux &amp;amp; Mac&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;./adb backup -apk -shared -all -nosystem -f backup08262012.ab&#xA;## Notice that -all doesn't mean ALL. See the big bold NOTE at the top of this answer.&#xA;## You can also include -system and -keyvalue to be able to backup and restore *some* system settings.&#xA;# drop the `./` in the command if you are using `android-tools-adb` package&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(if you want to store the backup in a different directory, include a path for the &amp;quot;.ab&amp;quot; file as shown in the screenshot below.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/hqO8y.png&quot; alt=&quot;cmd&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You will then be prompted on your device for a password (this is used to encrypt the backup):&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/hSif0.png&quot; alt=&quot;backup screen&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To restore, it works almost the same way.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Windows:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;adb restore backup08262012.ab&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Linux &amp;amp; Mac&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;./adb restore backup08262012.ab&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then you will be prompted for your password to restore on the device:&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/kH8MT.png&quot; alt=&quot;restore screen&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Now for the shameless self promotion:&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/camalot/droidexplorer&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Droid Explorer&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/camalot/droidexplorer/releases/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;v0.8.8.7&lt;/a&gt;+) will be able to handle this for 4.0+ devices.

I did following things trying to solve the issue:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Switched kernels (Semaphore, CM9, CM10, Devil's Kernel) (over CWM)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Switched ROM's (CM9, HellyBean, CM10) (over CWM)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Replaced XXJVT with XXJVU baseband only (over Odin, but got stuck without IMEI, phone number and data connection)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Changed encryption of AP from WPA to WPA2&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Changed Wi-Fi channels from 11 to 6&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Changed Wi-Fi from G to B+G&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Switched off AP's QoS&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Turned off router's firewall&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Tried few Wi-Fi keep-alive apks&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Rebooted Access Point, Router&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Set &quot;Always&quot; in &quot;Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Disabled &quot;Avoid poor connections&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Searched Google and forums, posted questions&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Turned off Powersave Wi-Fi mode on kernel manager&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Checked logcat (on the bottom see logcat within few minutes when connection was lost after screen turned off)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Used &quot;forget network&quot; for home Wi-Fi&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I haven't flashed stock firmware all over again yet.

A Standalone GPS system needs orbital information of the satellites to calculate the current position. The data rate of the satellite signal is only 50 bit/s, so downloading orbital information like ephemeris and almanac directly from satellites typically takes a long time, and if the satellite signals are lost during the acquisition of this information, it is discarded and the standalone system has to start from scratch. In AGPS, the Network Operator deploys an AGPS server. These AGPS servers download the orbital information from the satellite and store it in the database. An AGPS capable device can connect to these servers and download this information using Mobile Network radio bearers such as GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, LTE or even using other wireless radio bearers such as Wi-Fi. Usually the data rate of these bearers is high, hence downloading orbital information takes less time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your phone's A-GPS cache is corrupt or stale, forcing a refresh can be beneficial. Normally, Android does in fact take care of maintaining this cache automatically. I've personally only used this app to help diagnose and solve GPS problems, something it does very well. In normal usage I wouldn't bother with the A-GPS cache until you find it needs intervention.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="11343" LastEditorUserId="11343" LastEditDate="2012-08-28T01:11:00.337" LastActivityDate="2012-08-28T01:11:00.337" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you open your calendar, open Settings, and select General settings, &quot;Default reminder time&quot; is near the bottom (I'm working from Cyanogenmod 10, but AOSP/Nexus devices should be similar).  This controls the general notification time. The Now functionality is separate, and (from what I understand) is based entirely on travel time. If your appointment has a destination that Google recognizes, it will calculate travel time and pop up a card far enough ahead to allow you to meet that travel time and arrive on time. I'm not positive if it factors in your reminder time into this or not, but it's possible that it is. If that's the case, it will notify you 10 minutes + travel time currently, and if you modify the calendar notification time, it should modify the Now notification time.

Google Goggles only makes out the words in the image taken, and thus you would need to also install a translator &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.translate&amp;amp;feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5hcHBzLnRyYW5zbGF0ZSJd&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Google Translate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  to direct your image's text to for translation (I presume it isn't narrowed down to only Google Translate, of that however I am unsure). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also organizing to-do lists could be nicely done on tablets/phones. &lt;strong&gt;Wunderlist&lt;/strong&gt; is my current choice to managing to-do lists, since it has both a chrome add-on (found &lt;a href=&quot;https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fjliknjliaohjgjajlgolhijphojjdkc&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;) and a mobile app (here's the link to that on &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wunderkinder.wunderlistandroid&amp;amp;feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS53dW5kZXJraW5kZXIud3VuZGVybGlzdGFuZHJvaWQiXQ..&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Android&lt;/a&gt;). It helps you categorize your to-do's through separate lists, prioritize to-dos (only 2 priorities: either important by clicking on a star, or normal priority), and easily view/add tasks for nearing times, such as &quot;Today&quot;, &quot;Tomorrow&quot; and &quot;Next 7 days&quot;. You need internet connection for syncing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of the most obvious features for a tablet (or phone) is to have any needed reading material on the go, and easily accessible. If however you're reading from your computer, it could be more convenient to have a remote to help you navigate through your documents/presentation slides; reading easily without having to reach out for the keyboard. Although this might seem as lethargic behavior, it could be used to the contrary of purposes; for example using a treadmill while flicking through presentation slides or perhaps rehearsing a presentation (where there would be someone assisting with the slide navigation) without the need to reach out to the keyboard/mouse. Such apps would need wireless connection (WiFi and/or bluetooth; I think it varies- I haven't tried out remote apps much). The remote app I've recently came across is &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Relmtech.Remote&amp;amp;feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5SZWxtdGVjaC5SZW1vdGUiXQ..&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unified remote&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for which you should need to download a server on your computer (it also has a portable version). I haven't quite tried out this remote (or others), so cannot give a review.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hope this helps.

What this does is rawly explained by its name: Reset everything to the state of delivery. It purges the &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; partition -- which is, all user data: Installed apps (except those &quot;in the ROM&quot;, which came pre-installed) along with &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; apps data and settings, plus wipe the cache -- then reboot. The next startup will take a bit longer, as Android needs to rebuild the &lt;em&gt;Dalvik Cache&lt;/em&gt; (which basically contains device-optimized versions of your apps, simply spoken). So after that, everything should be clean -- and you need to configure everything as if you just got a fresh phone.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I don't know which UUIDs it's referring to -- without the exact error message this is hard to tell. But as said, the factory reset should fix this.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;By 1. plus, to be absolutely sure, a clean and empty sd card.

It is that, which gets loaded into memory - a temporary file-system, in order for the init scripts to be read in and executed. Once the mount points are established, then the RAM Disk gets removed and thereby, the temporary file-system a lá RAM Disk, gets &quot;flipped&quot; over to the real partitions at a later stage during the bootstrap.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is where the RAM Disk comes in - only temporarily, it is through that, the whole process of booting can happen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The chicken and egg is this - the kernel prior to boot, has no idea what partitions are there! &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Not alone that, by hard-coding the SDCard into the kernel's init parameter, which is a specific option that can be passed into the kernel upon boot in which it alters the kernel's processing of the environment. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The wear and tear of the SDCard would be significantly increased, not alone that, the entire Android ecosystem would drastically change, the API's have defined internal storage and external storage - so it could lead to confusion in where to store their own content providers for contacts etc, &quot;Are we sitting on a external storage or internal storage?&quot; from the perspective of Android itself, bear in mind, the content providers itself are housed in internal storage and from an overall picture, its one of de-facto standard convention for Android's file-systems involved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So to sum up, I do not think that's possible, not ruling out its impossible either but if it can be done, chances are it will be tied intimately to the handset itself, give or take, what manufacturers put in there from a perspective of partition format types (yaffs, emmc, LinusStoreIII, and more importantly, the SDCard handling mechanism from the kernel/hardware viewpoint will be different - am talking about different IO addresses here) and not alone that, differing sizes of the partitions also, this would make the whole concept of Android - not exactly portable either due to non-standard scripts found within the RAM Disk itself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4003" LastActivityDate="2012-08-30T15:23:04.110" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This will make it no faster than manualy changing it before calling.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I suggest you put the 2g/3g widget near your dialer and press it before you enter the dialer, by the time you choose a contact the phone should be ready to call.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another option has to do with rooting and voiding your warranty: flashing different modems(radio images) from xda.

With this app, you can even create yourself a shortcut to freeze/defreeze an app (in case of rarely used ones). Then there are also &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tvkdevelopment.nobloatfree&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;NoBloat&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.free&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Root Uninstaller&lt;/a&gt;, amongst others.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So if you are rooted, and if you really do not need that app, freezing it is the safest way to ensure it doesn't start.

It can get quite challenging and embarrassing managing such situations especially during days when I'm very mobile. I'm sure my boss isn't too happy about it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The challenge is, my company has disabled the activesync feature on our corporate Exchange server. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only solution I have now is to access OWA via my phone periodically to check my email. However, I can't possibly do that all the time. I found out also that there are phone apps that could do this, but I would need to pay for them. And in time to come, my company is going to disable OWA altogether, and that would render my small investment in the app worthless. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This makes me wonder whether is it really so complicated to configure one's phone to perform something so simple?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since I could configure my personal laptop to download my corporate emails, there must be a workaround to still sync my phone to the Exchange server. However, there's no feature for me to configure certain settings on my phone which I could on my Outlook.

They are of permanent magnet type accepting two leads for positive and negative DC voltages.  The circuitry that operate this motor just can switch on the motor for a specific period of time and can change its rotation direction.  All other parameters of vibration are set by motor's design.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hence, for your need the amplitude of the vibrator motor has to be increased to make you aware. And unless the motor itself is replaced, this can't be done in my opinion.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vibratormotor.com/acrobat/c0834b011f.pdf&quot;&gt;specification&lt;/a&gt; of such a motor and you can see it's details.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;After searching Google, I stumbled on more info about these motors. With that information, it seems that there are two types of such motors.

The article about linear actuator says that this is the present trend and beautifully explains how the motor works. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the Nexus device that is in question is vibrating at its maximum amplitude, then there is no way any software component to increase its amplitude. Other way, if device is NOT vibrating at its maximum, then by increasing the applied voltage there is a possibility to increase the amplitude.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thanks to @Konrad Rudolph who made me to know more about this motor.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="9556" LastEditorUserId="9556" LastEditDate="2012-09-07T06:18:17.040" LastActivityDate="2012-09-07T06:18:17.040" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

To extract the ramdisk, create a directory called &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RAMDisk&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and from that directory, invoke this: &lt;code&gt;gzip -dc | cpio -i&lt;/code&gt;, to recreate the directory structure that is used in the RAMDisk which gets flipped over to the live file-system upon boot. In there, the file that is of pertinent information is &lt;code&gt;init.rc&lt;/code&gt;. Now that can be modified to your heart's content.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Putting it back together&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Go back up a directory level, and issue this - &lt;code&gt;mkbootfs ***RAMDisk*** | gzip &amp;gt; my_custom_ramdisk.gz&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then, to &amp;quot;attach&amp;quot; the original kernel to the boot image, issue the following: &lt;code&gt;mkbootimg -base 0x.... -kernel boot.kernel -ramdisk my_custom_ramdisk.gz -o my_custom_boot.img&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point now, a boot image has been constructed, then that boot image will now have to be flashed via &lt;code&gt;fastboot flash boot my_custom_boot.img&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;TL;DR&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Changes are lost upon re-boot because the script is not properly edited which required extracting the boot image and modifying it and re-packing it. Once re-packed and then the boot image is re-flashed, the changes will be permanent.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is done every-time the changes are needed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4003" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2012-09-06T14:13:44.497" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The next way is the user pressing back on it, as in there is no way to get back to the exact screen (for example you can't press forward to get to it) so the application is no longer needed so it is closed. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The third way that an application is destroyed, or closed, is when Android needs more memory, when this happens it clears the applications that haven't had interaction the longest. Android does this itself, if it needs more memory it will get it. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So in all leaving applications open isn't a bad happen, however some applications can still use a lot of CPU power and not memory when its in the background, if you think this is going to happen you should close it yourself, android should be able to pick up on this however&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Have a look here at the states of a activity, or a screen: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://developer.android.com/images/activity_lifecycle.png&quot; alt=&quot;Activity life cycle&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EDIT:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Pressing back on a screen: Activity destroyed (&lt;code&gt;onPause &amp;gt; onStop &amp;gt;&#xA;onDestroy&lt;/code&gt;) &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Swiping application away on recent apps: Activity&#xA;destroyed (&lt;code&gt;onPause &amp;gt; onStop &amp;gt; onDestroy&lt;/code&gt;) &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Pressing home: Application&#xA;kept in memory, only if the developer hasn't added a self close&#xA;feature (&lt;code&gt;onPause &amp;gt; onStop&lt;/code&gt;) &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Navigating away from app, link etc:&#xA;Application kept in memory, as above (&lt;code&gt;onPause &amp;gt; onStop&lt;/code&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="12421" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-03-09T18:04:14.690" LastActivityDate="2012-09-07T11:37:39.970" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

One of the main characteristics of Android is to simulate &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitasking&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;multitasking&lt;/a&gt;. When you switches the application to another (yeah, even the Home launcher is an application), Android &lt;em&gt;pauses&lt;/em&gt; the current &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;activity&lt;/a&gt; and tries to load the data of the next into memory. So, two things can happen here:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If there's enough free memory, the data is loaded and the new activity is started. In this scenario, there's no trouble to switch back to the last application, since it's already running;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If there's a lack of memory, Android have to &quot;backup&quot; the data of the current activity into internal storage. This has a cost and a delay; after doing that, Android can finally load the new activity into memory.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From a performance point of view, keeping as much data as you can on RAM memory is benefic. The fact that an app data is still on memory &lt;em&gt;doesn't mean&lt;/em&gt; it's consumming battery resources, unless there's a &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;service&lt;/a&gt; running, which is not always the case.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, pressing &lt;code&gt;Home&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;Back&lt;/code&gt; buttons has in practice the same effect on memory usage. Android is designed to manage RAM itself, and it's not a good idea to kill apps unless you really know what you're doing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Many people start having problems when use many apps that run services in background. Some services tend to stay always in memory performing some task (like keeping you online, checking for new messages etc.).

If you take a look at your battery stats (they are always at a little different place in the system menu: Sometimes in the main menu, other times under &lt;em&gt;phone info&lt;/em&gt;), it lists the apps which used most of your battery. One of the highest consumers in there is most likely your display -- and close to it you'll find an item &lt;em&gt;cell standby&lt;/em&gt; (sometimes called &lt;em&gt;phone standby&lt;/em&gt;). This describes how much battery was used to &amp;quot;keep the signal&amp;quot;. Check that in times of good reception versus those of bad reception and see how much it differs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Network stuff&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This can even be &amp;quot;multiplied&amp;quot; if you have many apps running services to poll information from the net permanently -- like email apps using &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMAP_IDLE&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;IMAP idle&lt;/a&gt;, or some social chat app keeping a push connection. It looks like the same is happening here: it tries hard to keep the connection, and thus pushes the cell radio further. Due to the bad reception, the connection gets slow, and those services keep longer &amp;quot;wake locks&amp;quot; (keeping the CPU alive to complete their task), which again eats battery.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;How to find out if your reception was good?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The system does in fact provide this information (at least from Android 2.3/Gingerbread on), in the very same battery statistics mentioned before. On top of the first page you find a small graph&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/RMV5d.png&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;: tap on it, it brings up a bigger one&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/TFsMX.png&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/RMV5d.png&quot; alt=&quot;AkkuStats Main&quot; /&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/TFsMX.png&quot; alt=&quot;AkkuStats detail&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The screenshots are in German, but you still can tell the details: In the first&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/RMV5d.png&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;, you see the &lt;em&gt;cell standby&lt;/em&gt; titled &amp;quot;Mobilfunk-Standby&amp;quot; right next to the Display, as said before. On top of that is mentioned &amp;quot;mini-graph&amp;quot;. That tapped brings you to the page where you find the second image&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/TFsMX.png&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; at the bottom. Here take a look at the first graph, titled &lt;em&gt;Telefonsignal&lt;/em&gt; (&lt;em&gt;phone signal&lt;/em&gt;). &amp;quot;The greener the cleaner&amp;quot;: A bright green means &amp;quot;good reception&amp;quot; (the screenshot shows this at the begin and end, that is here: morning and evening -- so at home I have good reception). Getting yellowish: &amp;quot;Moderate reception&amp;quot;. This uses more energy: compare it with the graph on top of it (not in the screenshot -- but the same as in the first screenshot), and you see the bar is almost flat where the &lt;em&gt;cell signal&lt;/em&gt; is good -- but falls faster where it's not. See the little red spots: &amp;quot;no reception&amp;quot;. And phone will power-up like crazy to find a new cell tower...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;How to find out &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;where&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; the dead spots are?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here we need to use 3rd party tools.

It also offers you a &amp;quot;compass&amp;quot; giving the direction to the strongest signal.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;How to automatically deal with those &lt;em&gt;dead zones&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are some little helpers available which watch your signal. If it drops or gets lost, they simply switch the radio off (so it cannot further power up searching a non-existing signal) -- and periodically activate it again to check whether the situation has improved. One of them is &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=androidcap.batterysaver&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Battery Saver&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/pGPGa.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;, which also lets you define profiles so you can easily switch other things like Wifi.

(Facebook, LastFM, ...).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Use &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/8349/good-idea-to-transfer-all-phone-numbers-from-sim-card-to-google-contacts&quot;&gt;www.google.com/contacts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/8349/good-idea-to-transfer-all-phone-numbers-from-sim-card-to-google-contacts&quot;&gt;I recommend to move all information about contacts that is stored on your SIM card to the Google contacts.&lt;/a&gt; Furthermore Gmail will only show contacts that have a e-mail address. So there is no need to have something like phone-only contacts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The cloud idea is to have every piece of data (or information if you want) everywhere available. Why do you want to have some contacts just on one device? I know it's hard for some people that their contact app suddenly shows hundreds of contacts from different sources, but Google/Android provides techniques to deal with that too: Use contacts groups. Most Google software is able to show only certain contact groups (but will run contact searches for the whole contact set).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="440" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2012-09-08T14:55:50.237" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Second, Android devices should also work without an SD card inserted.

While charging or under heavy load, you typically generate more heat than while resting, so in either of those cases, if your phone feels physically warm, it's probably a good idea to remove it from the case. However, if you're charging it somewhere that it's likely to be damaged by being knocked off a table, having something dropped on it, having a kid find and play with it, etc. then I'd be more inclined to keep a protective case on it. The life of your phone is much more important than the life of your battery, as a battery is much cheaper to replace (Note: I'm not familiar with how easy or difficult it is to replace the battery on a Razr, beyond knowing that it's not as simple as popping the back off and pulling the battery).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'll add that while it's possible that a case (particularly the thicker ones like Otterbox produces) could lead to enough excessive heat that it damages the battery, I haven't heard of anything beyond a faulty battery actually damaging itself (think of the exploding battery stories).

The first thing to clarify is that the Email app supports four protocols - POP3, IMAP, SMTP, and Exchange ActiveSync - and with very few, very limited exceptions, all of these are older protocols which require that the client present the password to the server on every connection.  These protocols require us to retain the password for as long as you wish to use the account on the device.  Newer protocols don't do this - this is why some of the articles have been contrasting with Gmail, for example.  Newer protocols allow the client to use the password one time to generate a token, save the token, and discard the password.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I urge you to review the article linked to in &lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10809#c38&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;comment #38&lt;/a&gt;, which is well-written and quite informative.  It provides some very good background on the difference between &quot;obscuring&quot; passwords, and making them truly &quot;secure&quot;.  Simply obscuring your password (e.g. base64) or encrypting it with a key stored elsewhere will &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; make your password or your data more secure.  An attacker will still be able to retrieve it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;(In particular, some claims have been made about some of the other email clients not storing the password in cleartext.  Even where this is true, it does not indicate that the password is more secure.  A simple test:  if you can boot up the device and it will begin receiving email on your configured accounts, then the passwords are not truly secure.  They are either obfuscated, or encrypted with another key stored somewhere else.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Aditionally, since this issue appears to disturb many Android users, you can also follow this discussion at &lt;a href=&quot;http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/11/07/24/1715232/android-password-data-stored-in-plain-text&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Slashdot - Android Password Data Stored In Plain Text&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16265" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:33.700" LastActivityDate="2012-11-27T16:02:19.530" CommentCount="9" CommunityOwnedDate="2012-09-12T13:43:54.140" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Your password is 100% safe if you use this app.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is how it works:&lt;/strong&gt; The password is used by Google's authentication servers for the first time ONLY. After first successful authentication, an &lt;code&gt;Auth Token&lt;/code&gt; is downloaded to device which is stored in &lt;code&gt;accounts.db&lt;/code&gt; file as plain text. For all subsequent logins, this &lt;code&gt;Auth Token&lt;/code&gt; is used, NOT your original password.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;So, if your device is stolen, all anyone can get is &lt;code&gt;Auth Token&lt;/code&gt; which becomes invalid once you change your password.

You don't even need to change main password.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; These all aren't true if you use third-party email apps for Gmail viz. Stock Email app, K-9 Mail etc. IMAP or POP protocol needs original password to authenticate users everytime. So, plain password needs to be available to email app before sending it to server. So, most of email apps store passwords in plain text (hashing/encryption is useless because hashing/encryption key needs to be stored locally). In this case, I'd recommend you to enable &lt;a href=&quot;https://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&amp;amp;topic=1056283&amp;amp;answer=185839&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;2-Factor Authentication&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; create &lt;code&gt;Device Specific Password&lt;/code&gt; for your device. After losing device, all you need is to disable that device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Technically, its possible to store passwords locally in encrypted/hashed form without keeping encryption key/ hashing key in plain text locally. Thanks to @J.F.Sebastian for pointing it out. &lt;strike&gt; Unfortunately, such implementation for Android isn't available yet. &lt;/strike&gt; Starting ICS, Android provides &lt;a href=&quot;http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2012/03/unifying-key-store-access-in-ics.html&quot;&gt;KeyChain API&lt;/a&gt; using which an app can store a password locally in secure form. Apps using KeyChain API are rare, but stock email app uses it (Thanks to @wawa for this info). So, your password will be safe with stock email app as long as your screen is locked. Remember, KeyChain isn't safe if device is rooted and its not available on pre-ICS devices.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="3303" LastEditorUserId="3303" LastEditDate="2012-09-14T18:39:27.503" LastActivityDate="2012-09-14T18:39:27.503" CommentCount="26" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's main usage is in apps to find your way, in companion with GPS, or for example finding Qibla for Muslims, or any other interested direction which you may need.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?sName=&amp;amp;idMaker=0&amp;amp;idAvailability=0&amp;amp;YearAnnounced=0&amp;amp;nPriceLow=0&amp;amp;nPriceHigh=0&amp;amp;idCurrency=0&amp;amp;idFormFactor=0&amp;amp;idDualSIM=0&amp;amp;idQwerty=0&amp;amp;HeightMax=0&amp;amp;WidthMax=0&amp;amp;ThicknessMax=0&amp;amp;WeightMax=0&amp;amp;idOS=8&amp;amp;idOSVersion=0&amp;amp;idOSWhen=0&amp;amp;nminCPUMHz=0&amp;amp;nCPUCores=0&amp;amp;nminRAMMB=0&amp;amp;nminInternalStorageMB=0&amp;amp;idExpansionCard=0&amp;amp;idDisplay=0&amp;amp;nminDisplayX=0&amp;amp;nminDisplayY=0&amp;amp;nmaxDisplayX=0&amp;amp;nmaxDisplayY=0&amp;amp;fminDisplaySize=0&amp;amp;fmaxDisplaySize=0&amp;amp;nPixelDensity=0&amp;amp;idDisplayTech=0&amp;amp;idTouchscreen=0&amp;amp;idAccelerometer=0&amp;amp;idGyro=0&amp;amp;idCompass=0&amp;amp;id35mm=0&amp;amp;idCamera=0&amp;amp;idCameraFlash=0&amp;amp;idVideoRecorder=0&amp;amp;idSecondaryCamera=0&amp;amp;idGPS=0&amp;amp;bWLAN=0&amp;amp;idNFC=0&amp;amp;bEDGE=0&amp;amp;bGPRS=0&amp;amp;idBluetooth=0&amp;amp;bIR=0&amp;amp;bEmail=0&amp;amp;bWAP=0&amp;amp;bJava=0&amp;amp;idRadio=0&amp;amp;bMMS=0&amp;amp;idRingtones=0&amp;amp;sColor=&amp;amp;StandBy=0&amp;amp;TalkTime=0&amp;amp;sFreeText=compass&quot;&gt;List of Android phones with Compass&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- Orientation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I Think this one is not a real sensor, but a side usage of Accelerometer. Orientation detection is most used for Android UI and most apps to detect portrait or landscape position of the phone, to rotate the UI accordingly. Almost all of Android phones have this feature.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- Pressure (Barometer)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This one is relatively a new sensor, which detects pressure of air in area which device is in, just like a barometer. It's main usage is to detect altitude of current location of device from sea level. This helps GPS to be faster and more accurate because one of 3 main values (Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude) that are detected by GPS, can be faster detected by barometer. So, GPS would work faster in companion with barometer sensor.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?sName=&amp;amp;idMaker=0&amp;amp;idAvailability=0&amp;amp;YearAnnounced=0&amp;amp;nPriceLow=0&amp;amp;nPriceHigh=0&amp;amp;idCurrency=0&amp;amp;idFormFactor=0&amp;amp;idDualSIM=0&amp;amp;idQwerty=0&amp;amp;HeightMax=0&amp;amp;WidthMax=0&amp;amp;ThicknessMax=0&amp;amp;WeightMax=0&amp;amp;idOS=8&amp;amp;idOSVersion=0&amp;amp;idOSWhen=0&amp;amp;nminCPUMHz=0&amp;amp;nCPUCores=0&amp;amp;nminRAMMB=0&amp;amp;nminInternalStorageMB=0&amp;amp;idExpansionCard=0&amp;amp;idDisplay=0&amp;amp;nminDisplayX=0&amp;amp;nminDisplayY=0&amp;amp;nmaxDisplayX=0&amp;amp;nmaxDisplayY=0&amp;amp;fminDisplaySize=0&amp;amp;fmaxDisplaySize=0&amp;amp;nPixelDensity=0&amp;amp;idDisplayTech=0&amp;amp;idTouchscreen=0&amp;amp;idAccelerometer=0&amp;amp;idGyro=0&amp;amp;idCompass=0&amp;amp;id35mm=0&amp;amp;idCamera=0&amp;amp;idCameraFlash=0&amp;amp;idVideoRecorder=0&amp;amp;idSecondaryCamera=0&amp;amp;idGPS=0&amp;amp;bWLAN=0&amp;amp;idNFC=0&amp;amp;bEDGE=0&amp;amp;bGPRS=0&amp;amp;idBluetooth=0&amp;amp;bIR=0&amp;amp;bEmail=0&amp;amp;bWAP=0&amp;amp;bJava=0&amp;amp;idRadio=0&amp;amp;bMMS=0&amp;amp;idRingtones=0&amp;amp;sColor=&amp;amp;StandBy=0&amp;amp;TalkTime=0&amp;amp;sFreeText=barometer&quot;&gt;List of Android phones with Barometer sensor&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- Proximity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This sensor is mostly located beside earphone in top of front face of the phone. It can be seen easily if you put the phone under bright light (unlike above sensors which are inside the phone and not visible). Its main usage is to turn-off screen, when you are calling and phone is near your head. Android turns off the screen, so it prevents accidental touch of screen when you are not supposed to, and also, it reduces battery consumption in calls. Some apps also use this sensor to control phone by your hand gestures, because this sensor has 2 state, On and Off. On for when something is near it (about 1 cm) and Off for when nothing is near. Most Android phones have this sensor.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?sName=&amp;amp;idMaker=0&amp;amp;idAvailability=0&amp;amp;YearAnnounced=0&amp;amp;nPriceLow=0&amp;amp;nPriceHigh=0&amp;amp;idCurrency=0&amp;amp;idFormFactor=0&amp;amp;idDualSIM=0&amp;amp;idQwerty=0&amp;amp;HeightMax=0&amp;amp;WidthMax=0&amp;amp;ThicknessMax=0&amp;amp;WeightMax=0&amp;amp;idOS=8&amp;amp;idOSVersion=0&amp;amp;idOSWhen=0&amp;amp;nminCPUMHz=0&amp;amp;nCPUCores=0&amp;amp;nminRAMMB=0&amp;amp;nminInternalStorageMB=0&amp;amp;idExpansionCard=0&amp;amp;idDisplay=0&amp;amp;nminDisplayX=0&amp;amp;nminDisplayY=0&amp;amp;nmaxDisplayX=0&amp;amp;nmaxDisplayY=0&amp;amp;fminDisplaySize=0&amp;amp;fmaxDisplaySize=0&amp;amp;nPixelDensity=0&amp;amp;idDisplayTech=0&amp;amp;idTouchscreen=0&amp;amp;idAccelerometer=0&amp;amp;idGyro=0&amp;amp;idCompass=0&amp;amp;id35mm=0&amp;amp;idCamera=0&amp;amp;idCameraFlash=0&amp;amp;idVideoRecorder=0&amp;amp;idSecondaryCamera=0&amp;amp;idGPS=0&amp;amp;bWLAN=0&amp;amp;idNFC=0&amp;amp;bEDGE=0&amp;amp;bGPRS=0&amp;amp;idBluetooth=0&amp;amp;bIR=0&amp;amp;bEmail=0&amp;amp;bWAP=0&amp;amp;bJava=0&amp;amp;idRadio=0&amp;amp;bMMS=0&amp;amp;idRingtones=0&amp;amp;sColor=&amp;amp;StandBy=0&amp;amp;TalkTime=0&amp;amp;sFreeText=proximity&quot;&gt;List of Android phones with Proximity sensor&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;- Ambient Light&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This sensor, as obvious from its name, measures ambient light in environment where the phone is in. Its value is a number between 0..255 (darkest to brightest) and is mainly used by Android internal system to automatically adjust brightness of screen to be properly readable under bright light of the sun, and also in a dark room. Not all Android phones have this sensor, and no usage except adjustment of screen brightness can be considered for it. I couldn't find a list of phones with this sensor, but almost all if high-end Android phones have this sensor. Its favorite location to sit down in your phone, if ever exist, is near earphone at top of front panel, and looks like a tiny and dark front camera placeholder.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="8041" LastEditorUserId="8041" LastEditDate="2012-09-12T12:08:56.867" LastActivityDate="2012-09-12T12:08:56.867" CommentCount="12" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If it fails to mount, then there is a problem with the application. There are lots of reviews for the app that say &quot;did not work with X&quot;, so it seems you are not the only one that has issues.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your only option is to contact the developer and send them the problem you have, so they can fix it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In response for your Edit #1 and Edit #2&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You will not be able to mount with &lt;code&gt;mount&lt;/code&gt; android doesn't have a kernel module that supports NTFS. As I said above, the reason that you can mount it within the app is because the app developer implemented the NTFS protocol in their application. &lt;code&gt;Invalid argument&lt;/code&gt; means that the filesystem type you are trying to mount is not supported by mount. &lt;code&gt;No medium found&lt;/code&gt; means that it does not see that dev block or cannot access it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It also sounds like the problem may be that the HDD you are trying to mount requires different drivers to communicate with the HDD controller. Sounds like you are able to get flash drives to work, and that is because they are probably using a &quot;standard&quot; communication, while the HDD could be using something non-standard, or has a different chipset and is not supported by default by the kernel.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1951" LastEditorUserId="1951" LastEditDate="2012-09-17T13:47:42.897" LastActivityDate="2012-09-17T13:47:42.897" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

My workflow is as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Use Google Reader to subscribe to and browse podcast feeds. The MP3 files are linked in each feed, so the ones I decide to listen to get downloaded to my computer. I use DownThemAll for downloading, because it's good at this kind of download and because it preserves modification times on files it downloads. However, I'm moving away from Firefox, so I'm now looking for a similar plugin for Chrome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Periodically plug my phone into a USB port on my computer (use USB3 if you have it, absurdly fast), causing the SD card to be mounted as a removable disk.

In particular, you'll probably want a different audio player program. But judging from your prescribed needs, you want one that lets you just copy files directly into an SDCARD directory. Most do.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ideally, one could use Bluetooth to copy files.

And phone will power-up like crazy to find a new cell tower...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;How to find out &lt;em&gt;where&lt;/em&gt; the dead spots are?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I already showed in my answer on &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/28893/does-poor-reception-deplete-the-battery-quicker/28906#28906&quot;&gt;Does 'poor' reception deplete the battery quicker?&lt;/a&gt; how one can find out about those &amp;quot;Dead Zones&amp;quot; and where they are:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Apps like &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.missedcall&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;No Signal Alert&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/9czcV.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.staircase3.opensignal&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;OpenSignalMaps&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/7mrv7.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; monitor the cell signal in background, and record those areas, so they can show you a map of where the dead zones were. &lt;em&gt;OpenSignalMaps&lt;/em&gt; has the plus of showing you all cell towers in reach, pointing out which you are connected to. It also offers you a &amp;quot;compass&amp;quot; giving the direction to the strongest signal.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/9czcV.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;NoSignalAlert&quot; /&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/7mrv7.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;OpenSignalMaps&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, my answer on how to automatically deal with those &lt;em&gt;dead zones&lt;/em&gt; was not that detailed. So I played around a bit with different solutions -- and here's what I've found out:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;How to automatically deal with those &lt;em&gt;dead zones&lt;/em&gt; to save energy?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Apps to automatize &lt;em&gt;Airplane Mode&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've reached fairly good results with two apps: &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.verobapps.Autopilot&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Autopilot&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/tvHgJ.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomdryer.nobars&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;NoBars Battery Saver&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/2RDow.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;. Both monitor the cell signal and, when it drops to far, switch to Airplane Mode for a predefined time. The user can define how long that would be. After that timeout, Airplane Mode gets disabled, and cell monitoring takes over.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/tvHgJ.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Autopilot&quot; /&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/2RDow.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;NoBars Battery Saver&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the second graph of my question, this shows up as &amp;quot;gaps&amp;quot; in the &lt;em&gt;Phone Signal&lt;/em&gt; bar: As the cell radio was disabled during Airplane Mode, no colors are shown; the system didn't know anything about signal strength in this time frame. And with the cell radio turned off, it also didn't use additional power (more precisely, it didn't use any power for this radio then) -- which was exactly what was intended.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With &lt;em&gt;Autopilot&lt;/em&gt;, the only annoying side-effect was: For each signal check, it flashed on the display for about a second. Aside from that, it gives more options to be configured by the user. However, as the results of both apps where absolutely comparable, those extra options seem not really necessary, while being nice to have. Another plus of &lt;em&gt;Autopilot&lt;/em&gt; is the log provided to the user: This way you can see the exact times of mode switches.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Apps to handle data network&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've also tested &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wjaxengineering.android.shutupbatterysaver&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;ShutUpBatterySaver&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/5YDmG.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;, which aims to handle the data traffic. Dropping below a certain signal strength the user can define, it disables AutoSync, and below a second definable level switches off mobile internet altogether.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/5YDmG.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;ShutUpBatterySaver&quot; /&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/nJsgQ.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;ShutUpBatterySaver Notifications&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It does, however, never activate (or deactivate) Airplane Mode, so the power used to get a (better) signal will still be the same. Though, with a bad signal data transfer uses more power than with a good signal, as e.g. package loss might be bigger. In the status bar I saw several times that it had AutoSync disabled&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/nJsgQ.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;, so it seems to work. Not being a heavy data user (as the LBE stats in the same screenshot show), I could however not really tell how much help that brought: Compared to the two Airplane-Mode handling apps above, results in terms of gained battery duration were minimal (if any).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Combined solution&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It would probably gain best results to join the two approaches. As I was not in the mood to check all possible combinations, I rather decided for the allmighty 6-letter-solution: T-A-S-K-E-R.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As most of you probably know, &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Tasker&lt;/a&gt; is &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; automation solution on Android. Guess it could even prepare coffee, if our devices had sensors to detect coffee and water. So I created some profiles for this great app -- and results were magnific!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/V2AYM.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Tasker Profiles&quot; /&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/jaBiR.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Tasker Notifications&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So basically it's 3 Profiles, communicating via a common variable:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;%SIGSTATE &amp;lt; 1: check if the signal falls below ~25%. If so, disable mobile data, set %SIGSTATE to 1.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;%SIGSTATE &amp;lt; 2: check if the signal falls below ~15%. If so, switch to airplane mode, set %SIGSTATE to 2.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;%SIGSTATE &amp;gt; 0: wait for 5 min, then disable airplane mode, activate mobile data, wait another 15 sec (for the signal to be restored), set %SIGSTATE to 0.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In my global &lt;em&gt;Init&lt;/em&gt; profile (which gets executed when Tasker starts monitoring), %SIGSTATE is set to 0 (if it is unset). All 3 above profiles additionally set notifications, as the screenshot above shows&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/jaBiR.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;9&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;. Each state maintains one notification (which gets replaced when the same state re-occurs), the most up-to-date state is always on the bottom.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Results seemed even better than with the two airplane-mode handling apps above, but that might also be due to slightly different signal conditions. So it should at least be comparable. Using one of these 3 solutions, I came home after about 11 hours with about 20% more charge left then without applying any of them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Having said this, I will end this answer showing the &lt;em&gt;Tasker&lt;/em&gt; profiles I created, so you might use them with your &lt;em&gt;Tasker&lt;/em&gt; installation:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Task &amp;quot;InitVars&amp;quot;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Variable -&amp;gt; Variable Set: %SIGSTATE = 0&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Task &amp;quot;SigLow&amp;quot;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Net -&amp;gt; Mobile Data: Off&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Variable -&amp;gt; Variable Set: %SIGSTATE = 1&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Alert -&amp;gt; Notify Vibrate: Title &amp;quot;IzzySignal&amp;quot;; Text: &amp;quot;Signal Low; Mobile data disabled (Signal: %CELLSIG)&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Task &amp;quot;SigLost&amp;quot;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Variable -&amp;gt; Variable Set: %WLANSTATE = 0&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Variable -&amp;gt; Variable Set: %WLANSTATE = 1 IF %Wifi ~ on&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Net -&amp;gt; Airplane Mode: On&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Net -&amp;gt; Wifi: On IF %WLANSTATE ~ 1&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Variable -&amp;gt; Variable Set: %SIGSTATE = 2&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Alert -&amp;gt; Notify Vibrate: Title &amp;quot;IzzySignal&amp;quot;, Text: &amp;quot;Signal Lost; Entering Airplane Mode&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Task &amp;quot;SigReturn&amp;quot;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Task -&amp;gt; Wait: 5 Minutes&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Net -&amp;gt; Airplane Mode: Off&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Task -&amp;gt; Wait: 15 Seconds&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;(give the device some time to find a new signal!)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Net -&amp;gt; Mobile Data: On IF %ROAM ~ Off&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;(prevent bad surprise when returning from vacation abroad!)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Variable -&amp;gt; Variable Set: %SIGSTATE = 0&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Alert -&amp;gt; Notify Vibrate: Title &amp;quot;IzzySignal&amp;quot;, Text &amp;quot;Signal On; Airplane Mode disabled (Signal: %CELLSIG)&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now for the profiles:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Profil SigLowCheck:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;State -&amp;gt; Variable -&amp;gt; Variable Value: Name &amp;quot;%SIGSTATE&amp;quot;, Op &amp;quot;Math: Less Than&amp;quot;, Value &amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;State -&amp;gt; Phone -&amp;gt; Signal Strength: From 0 To 2&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;State -&amp;gt; Tasker -&amp;gt; Profile Active: &amp;quot;SigLost&amp;quot;, [x] Invert&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;(make sure to avoid a conflict: %SIGSTATE~0 &amp;amp;&amp;amp; SignalStrength~1 would match both profiles condition)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Task: SigLow&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Profil SigLostCheck:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;State -&amp;gt; Variable -&amp;gt; Variable Value: Name &amp;quot;%SIGSTATE&amp;quot;, Op &amp;quot;Math: Less Than&amp;quot;, Value &amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;State -&amp;gt; Phone -&amp;gt; Signal Strength: From 0 To 1&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Task: SigLost&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Profile SigReturnCheck:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;State -&amp;gt; Variable -&amp;gt; Variable Value: Name &amp;quot;%SIGSTATE&amp;quot;, Op &amp;quot;Math: Greater Than&amp;quot;, Value &amp;quot;0&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Task: SigReturn&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Profile Init:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Event -&amp;gt; Tasker -&amp;gt; Monitor Start&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Task: InitVars&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now that's just the basic concept, and can be extended with e.g. playing sounds, vibrating, flashing the display, and more. But the energy saving stuff is already in -- and does its job as described. Hope this can help you as well!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another remark: At least with GSM (I cannot tell for CDMA), returning from Airplane Mode by default forces you to enter the SIM PIN. This can of course be switched off -- but in that case this additional protection is also gone when switching on the phone. No idea why this is not possible selectively, as it was with my pre-Android phones.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, for some phones there's an alternative to some items in above tasks, which remove this limitation:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;In SigLost&lt;/em&gt;, instead of &lt;em&gt;Net -&amp;gt; Airplane Mode: On&lt;/em&gt; use &lt;em&gt;Phone -&amp;gt; Radio: Off&lt;/em&gt; if your phone supports this (my Droid2/Milestone2 does not, unfortunately). If you can do this, the WiFi check becomes obsolete (and your Task cleaner).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The counter-reaction in &lt;em&gt;SigReturn&lt;/em&gt; then also needs to be changed: Instead of &lt;em&gt;Net -&amp;gt; Airplane Mode: Off&lt;/em&gt;, use &lt;em&gt;Phone -&amp;gt; Radio: On&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please let me know in the comments if this removes the limitation of the SIM PIN, as I cannot test it (my device does not support it, as described above).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Edit by t0mm13b&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The interesting thing I noticed was that there was multiple tasker icons appearing on the Status bar, which made things confusing as to regards the state that the tasker profiles was running as; I discovered that by setting the &lt;em&gt;Title&lt;/em&gt; for the 'Notify Vibrate' in each of the above tasks to be the same, the net result is, one singular notification titled '&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IzzyTasker&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;' shows up, with the appropriate message used instead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2012-10-06T19:49:06.977" CommentCount="15" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.androidcentral.com/why-you-ll-never-have-latest-version-android&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I found this link on android central which basically explains the same thing that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;wayback&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; mentioned as well with more details and comparisons with iOS and Windows Phone.I found this very informative so I though that it would be nice to post it here. :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Basically it explains that the variety of the Android-based devices uses different hardware.As a result of the aforementioned is that there are different drivers for the variety of hardware that can be found on different devices.Unfortunately Android Jelly Bean (4.1) itself was build by Google on TI's OMAP 4460 chipset,like the one that we find on the Galaxy Nexus and NVidia's Tegra 3 chipset like the one that it can be found on Nexus 7.So when it comes to flash the Android on the device in order to make a device usable over the Android UI manufacturers start to modify/enhance Android in order to enforce it to use/handle/manipulate the hardware that they have used to build their device.This is something very difficult and demands a lot of time to implement and because time == money they just decide to drop the updates on older devices.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even if they are some similarities in hardware in between different devices there are other hardware and not only hardware mismatchings.For example,Nexus 7 and HTC One X (International Version) have the same Tegra 3 chip.The problem is that HTC uses also another chip,the HTC ImageSense chip,which can not be found on the Nexus 7.Plus consider the fact that the internal storage on the HTC One X is defined/used/organized differently from the one on the Nexus 7,as it uses a different partition for the media.All of a sudden,as Android Central's article mentions,porting the Jelly Bean update on the HTC One X from the Nexus 7 or vise versa becomes very difficult.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Moreover,consider the carriers' custom Android ROMs as well.Well I am not an expert in this field,because in my country carriers do not lock the devices,but I will try to explain it with the help of Android Central's article.Carriers,such as Verizon,I suppose,use different/custom ROMs than the one that it can be found on the unlocked version of the same device.For example,if I am not wrong,in order to make an OS to start whenever you push the Power Button,a bootloader starts to load basic/necessary files for the OS from the storage device that it is programmed to do so.What carriers do is that they lock bootloader,in order to restrict users not to boot other ROMs that they may have transferred in some storage device on the phone.So what do they care if we boot something different from the official?They care,because they want to prevent users to use other cellular networks(such as AT&amp;amp;T,Sprint,Vodafone) because that way they are going to lose their customers (==money).It is not only the bootloader of course.If you have already done a small research over the Internet,you will see many valid website that offer unlocking services on carrier's devices for a small amount of money without reflashing you device with a different ROM.If you notice in the whole procedure of the unlocking they will ask the user to type on the dialling pad a string of numbers and symbols such as pound key and the star key.If someone types the string write the device will open a hidden menu,which contains information about the network settings.The whole point of mentioning this is to show you that this menu requires more coding,which differentiates the Android OS from device to device in order carriers to use it and manipulate it they way the want and insert their own settings according to the operation of the network.Of course,the procedure that you have to follow in order to unlock your device may vary from unlocking service to unlocking service.For example,most of these services ask only for the device model,IMEI and the carrier who has locked the device,so may not come across to that menu that I am referring to.&#xA;Carrier's as the article mentions are moving very slowing on the procedure of approving an Android ROM for a device that they offer on their networks.This happens because they &quot;move&quot; with caution and they have limited resources in order to approve software for the devices offered alongside with their network's services.And because they care about profits,they do not waste time on older devices or devices which haven't sold many units.They will pay attention on the newer and the one that sells the most in comparison to the others.Thus,they approve devices which are already profitable for them or they will be profitable if we are referring to something newer or something that it will keep selling for a longer period of time.Let's face it,most people would not care about the Samsung Galaxy SII,they will care about the SIII(a.k.a : &quot;THE NEXT BIG THING&quot;) and in a few weeks they would not even care for the SIII they will care about the LG Optimus G (for example),which is the newer and the more improved in comparison to the SIII.It is like somehow the new ruins the older.But it is doesn't.It's all in our heads.Like Jimmy Kimmel said on his show when he referred to the iPhone 5 and to how iPhone 4S owners react to the announcement of the 6th iPhone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And now you may be wondering why many or most of the Windows Phone or iOS smartphones receive update to the newest version of the OS that they have installed.The answer is simple.There are fewer devices who have installed these platforms and most of them are carrying the same or almost the same hardware.Even if there are some dissimilarities they spent time to adjust their platforms to make them work on every on almost every device that they have.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But it is not only that.iOS and Windows Phone are more static to changes like memory quotas or button setups,or changes at the UI.I mean take a quick look on iOS 6 and iOS 5.Both look very similar in terms of visualisations on the UI and the buttons on the newer devices are the same in number and in operation with older ones.They might have added a few extra operations on some buttons but it is not like they changed something dramatically.They same thing with Windows Phone 7.5 and 8.The UI is the same and if you take a look to the buttons on the older and newer devices you will find out that they are pretty much the same.On the other hand,Google does some heavy changes from an update to another.Take a look on Gingerbread,Froyo,Honeycomb,Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean.ICS and Jelly Bean look the same,but what about Jelly Bean and Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich and Froyo or maybe Cupcake and Honeycomb.They hardly look the same in terms of UI.Consider this,when it comes to build a device which is planned to run Froyo and you intend to update it to Jelly Bean.Basically this happens because manufacturers lack of warning for what it is going to follow to the Android updates.This was mentioned by Sony and Google responded by stating that is going to help manufacturers with PDK (PDK stands for Platform Developers Kit) which it will give the manufacturers a limited sneak peak to the framework of the upcoming Android versions.Limited because it will give early access only to some parts of the Android's upcoming versions framework.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="14560" LastEditorUserId="14560" LastEditDate="2012-09-17T22:58:23.610" LastActivityDate="2012-09-17T22:58:23.610" CommentCount="6" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

With both parties connected to hi-speed broadband, texts take their own sweet time to deliver. These texts shouldn't expire but they do. Given a certain amount of time, texts stay undelivered.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you have root access and are thinking of uninstalling the stock SMS app (which would be the logical thing to do), bear in mind that GoSMS notifications don't work hand in hand with the app's UI. Meaning, if you see a notification in the status bar and press on it, it will lead you to the main app interface but you may or may not see the actual message. This happens often when you receive more than one or two texts at the same time. Strangely, even though you can't read the texts (I assumed they were lost), you will have an irritating notification indicating that you have unread texts (that you obviously can't read because they don't show up). Having the stock app ensures that GoSMS shows all texts, unread or otherwise. Also, when you have read the text in the stock app, the notification from GoSMS disappears.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Local backup only works when you aren't connected, either via Wi-fi or mobile data. With the latest version of the app, everything gets backed up to GoCloud.

The main points to focus on will be the &lt;strong&gt;cellular standard&lt;/strong&gt; the carrier uses, the &lt;strong&gt;frequency bands&lt;/strong&gt; it uses, and the associated bands/tech that the phone is designed for. In order for your device to operate fully on another network, it will need to meet all of the following criteria.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Cellular Standards&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are two primary competing cellular standards used throughout the world, commonly referred to as GSM and CDMA.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;GSM&lt;/a&gt; (Global System for Mobile Communications) is generally the more widely deployed of the two standards, and is estimated to serve nearly 80% of the global market. Devices that support the GSM standard will use &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sim_card&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;SIM cards&lt;/a&gt; to keep track of the identity of the subscriber. The 3G standards used by GSM devices are typically &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Mobile_Telecommunications_System&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;UMTS&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Speed_Packet_Access&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;HSPA&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cdma&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;CDMA&lt;/a&gt; (or, more specifically, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDMA2000&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;CDMA2000&lt;/a&gt;) is also used in a variety of countries, but generally serves fewer subscribers than GSM in most countries. CDMA uses a &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removable_User_Identity_Module&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;R-UIM&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDMA_Subscriber_Identify_Module&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;CSIM&lt;/a&gt; card which serves similar functionality to SIM card. On some carriers, CDMA devices do not use any physical identity cards, and instead have an &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Serial_Number&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;ESN&lt;/a&gt; that is stored on the device itself. Also with some carriers, devices that normally do not require SIM card to operate on CDMA 3G may require SIM cards for 4G access, since the 4G network uses a different technology than the 3G one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In general, a device is therefore classified by which network it uses for it's 3G or voice coverage, so a phone which supports CDMA voice/3G but a GSM 4G network (for example, the Verizon Galaxy Nexus) would still typically be considered a &amp;quot;CDMA phone&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These two network standards are not compatible with each other in any way. A device built for GSM networks will not work on a CDMA network (and vice versa). Therefore, the first step in determining if your device will work on your desired carrier is to determine what networks it supports and what type of network the carrier uses. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gsmarena.com/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;GSM Arena&lt;/a&gt; is a good source for device specifications, and Wikipedia is a good place to find information about carrier networks (as well as devices).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In addition to the inter-network compatibility issue, CDMA devices that do not have physical a identity card can only be used with the device's original carrier or on other countries through roaming. In most cases, carriers have a large database that contains all of the valid ESNs for their network, so only models which are sold by the carrier can be activated. This can occasionally be bypassed by altering the software of the phone to broadcast a different ESN, but doing so is illegal in many countries, and thus there is often no &lt;strong&gt;legitimate&lt;/strong&gt; way to use a CDMA device on a different carrier. This restriction will usually (but may not always) also apply to virtual network operators (&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Virtual_Network_Operator&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;MVNOs&lt;/a&gt;) and their &amp;quot;parent&amp;quot; carriers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As an example: Sprint may not allow you to activate a Boost Mobile phone on its network, even though Boost uses Sprint's towers and spectrum. Conversely, Sprint has approved some of their phone models for activation on certain MVNOs that use Sprint's spectrum (provided the phone is not under contract). Therefore, when dealing with CDMA carriers, your best choice will generally be to simply ask them if your model will be allowed on their network before you make a decision, since they have full discretion over which devices they will allow to be activated.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Frequency Bands&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Each carrier operates their network on a specific set of frequency bands, which are typically managed at some level by the government of the country the carrier is operating in. Once the government allocates frequencies, they can usually be bought or sold by companies as they see fit (with some restrictions). In order for a device to work on a given network, it must therefore support not only the network standards (as noted above) but also the frequency bands being used.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As an example, AT&amp;amp;T's 3G network (UMTS/HSPA) operates in the 850 and 1900 MHz frequency bands (&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&amp;amp;T_Mobility#Radio_Frequency_Summary&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;source&lt;/a&gt;). The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gsmarena.com/t_mobile_mytouch_4g-3520.php&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;myTouch 4G&lt;/a&gt;, sold by T-Mobile USA is a GSM phone (T-Mobile USA is a GSM network), but it is designed for the 900, 1700, and 2100 MHz frequency bands since this is what T-Mobile uses. Therefore, a myTouch 4G would &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; be able to use AT&amp;amp;T's 3G network because it does not support the proper frequencies. Further, there is no way to alter this by using software modifications - the limitation is created by the phone's &lt;em&gt;antenna&lt;/em&gt;, which is specifically designed to pick up certain frequencies and ignore others.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Using the same example as above, however, you can see that AT&amp;amp;T operates its 2G network on the 850 and 1900 MHz bands and the myTouch 4G supports 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz for 2G operation. This means that a myTouch 4G &lt;strong&gt;would&lt;/strong&gt; be able to use AT&amp;amp;T's slower 2G network (and make voice calls) even though it cannot use the 3G network.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Similarly, it may be possible for a device to operate on a carrier's 3G network but not their 4G network due to frequency differences. Check the frequency bands your device supports for &lt;em&gt;each generation&lt;/em&gt; of network communication (2G, 3G, 4G) in order to ensure complete compatibility.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;SIM Locks and SIM Cards&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another possible hurdle in running a device on a network it was not officially intended for is SIM locks and differences in SIM cards.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Firstly, many carriers will sell their devices with a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_lock&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;SIM lock&lt;/a&gt; - a software restriction that prevents the device from operating with a SIM from a different carrier. In many cases this will depend on whether or not the device is purchased at a subsidized price on some kind of annual contract. Purchasing a device at full retail price will often allow it to be unlocked more easily (or it will be provided in an unlocked state). If your device has a SIM lock, it may be possible to unlock it by contacting your carrier and asking for an unlock code. There are also third-parties that offer SIM unlocking services, but they are not officially endorsed by the carrier or manufacturer of your device. Devices will only be able to operate on their originally intended network while they are SIM locked.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An additional concern is that there are &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GSM_SIM_card_evolution.svg&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;several types of SIM cards&lt;/a&gt;, all of different shapes and sizes. Most major carriers (and, indeed, even smaller ones) will be able to provide multiple types of SIM cards, but be sure that you get one that will fit into the slot on your device. Most commonly, phones and tablets use either Mini-SIM or Micro-SIM cards.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;What about rooting?&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/236/what-does-to-root-a-phone-mean&quot;&gt;Rooting&lt;/a&gt; a device is not related to the act of unlocking it for a different carrier, although the phrase &amp;quot;unlocking&amp;quot; my occasionally (incorrectly) be used to refer to both processes. Obtaining root will not unlock your device, and unrooted devices are capable of being unlocked provided with the proper SIM code. Similarly, a custom ROM will not unlock your device - it has no bearing on the SIM lock.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Helpful Links&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These Wikipedia links contain lists of cellular carriers broken down by country/region. Many of the entries also provide information regarding the frequencies these networks have deployed, or act as a jumping-off point for finding this information elsewhere.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators_of_Europe&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;List of mobile network operators of Europe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators_of_the_Americas&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;List of mobile network operators of the Americas&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators_of_the_Asia_Pacific_region&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;List of mobile network operators of the Asia Pacific region&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators_of_the_Middle_East_and_Africa&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;List of mobile network operators of the Middle East and Africa&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2016-03-09T22:08:27.150" CommentCount="4" CommunityOwnedDate="2012-09-20T17:53:33.710" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Let's go through this to make the distinction clearer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hard&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - this is where the handset will absolutely refuse to boot at the press of the power button.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;Diagnostics&lt;/strong&gt;: Dead screen, no power. That is the symptom of a hard brick.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;Reason&lt;/strong&gt;: This can happen by inadvertently pulling the cable when flashing a ROM or even an update via the handset's supporting software such as Samsung Kies, Sony's PC Companion Suite etc. That is the worst case, that is why in this scenario, always, make, sure that no cable gets pulled unless told so by the supporting software in question. The other way is this, flashing in that manner when the battery power is low. Hence for that reason, it is recommended to have at least 75% of battery power in place prior to doing the update in that fashion. It's known as hard-brick, and requires specialist cables and stripping the device down to the circuitry board to revive it via JTAG cables.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Soft&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - this can happen through a bad flashing of the ROM in which yields the following.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;Diagnostics&lt;/strong&gt;: it has power when the power button is pressed, and/or, the screen comes on.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;Reason:&lt;/strong&gt; It can be a user error on this part. For example, failing to clear/wipe the data/cache, can cause Android to go into a bootloop because of the mismatches with the Android's virtual machine and the apps installed, or more than likely, a corrupted dalvik cache. The other, is flashing a ROM that is not designated for the handset which can cause the kernel to go into a bootloop. This is generally easier to fix, but hangs, that is known as a soft-brick.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With those two separate forms of brick, it is generally speaking, a scaremongering tactic. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The one pure simple reason why carriers do not recommend unlocking the boot-loader, is not just for the warranty. It's more down to the fact, if the handset ever gets stolen, then unlocking the bootloader will wipe everything, and reinitialize the handset to factory state, thereby all your contacts, call logs, messages and apps gets wiped cleanly. Also, this is to reduce the amount of support in the carriers, with people calling in or ringing up the technical support, &quot;What happened with my handset - I did something and lost my contacts?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just to finish off this answer, you can revert it back, by relocking the bootloader at a later stage if you wish, that is in the event the hardware got damaged and hand it back in for repairs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4003" LastEditorUserId="44325" LastEditDate="2016-01-19T09:13:03.967" LastActivityDate="2016-01-19T09:13:03.967" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Even when flashing a custom ROM, this can rarely happen, as there are many security-layers involved. Almost always you can boot your device into some fall-back mode where it is at least recognized by some &quot;flashing software&quot;, so you could simply flash another/the original firmware back. Which means, the risk you are taking is to &quot;soft-brick&quot; your device&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;.

The purpose is to ensure that all uncompressed data starts with a particular alignment relative to the start of the file. Specifically, it causes all uncompressed data within the .apk, such as images or raw files, to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries. This allows all portions to be accessed directly with mmap() even if they contain binary data with alignment restrictions. The benefit is a reduction in the amount of RAM consumed when running the application.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In short: &lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; content can be easier/faster/more optimal accessed due to the order of data inside the packed file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For deeper information, there's a &quot;complete guide&quot; available at AddictiveTips: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-zipalign-in-android-and-how-it-works-complete-guide/&quot;&gt;What Is Zipalign In Android And How To Make Apps Zipaligned&lt;/a&gt;, which answers the second part of your question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Quite understandably, situation would be reserved for unaligned application packages.

It's not available in the stock ROM that I know of, so you need a ROM and a kernel that you know supports this.

Which of those might be your choice will probably depend on some additional thoughts -- such as other devices you want to use your sdcard on.

Have not tried that! Which is leading to this...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Conclusion&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;only way&lt;/strong&gt; this can be switched off, is to effectively &lt;em&gt;disable the pin-lock request on the actual sim-card&lt;/em&gt;. That is where the &amp;quot;magic&amp;quot; bit-flag is stored on that, in which the telephony's RIL layer reads it in via the proprietary htc/samsung/qualcomm's library, and that would prevent propragation of the persisting of the property &amp;quot;PIN_REQUIRED&amp;quot; up through the layers of Android.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;A possible work-around, for Android Developers only :)&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This would require hacking and recompiling the source.&lt;/em&gt;&#xA;For the airplane mode, when entering that mode and leaving airplane mode, the property could be split up, into two, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;gsm.sim.state&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; can be left as is, but devise another property, something like this, &lt;strong&gt;gsm.sim.state.airplane.mode&lt;/strong&gt; and assign a value along the lines of &lt;code&gt;SIM_STATE_PIN_NOT_REQUIRED&lt;/code&gt;, and modify the airplane mode check, to read that property and if set to that, do not show the pin dialog box, otherwise as usually does, prompt it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="4003" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2012-09-27T18:43:48.393" CommentCount="6" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If the partition contains the OS it would mean that after resizing the partition your phone wouldn't turn on. If you're not willing to take the risk I suggest finding a source that says that won't happen. Else I suggest looking at the ROM apps in the Play Store (there are many good ones and they can probably do what you want). Also how much internal space you have on your phone? Is the system partition the only internal partition?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can also partition your SD card which makes it work more efficiently. So your phone works faster but you have to do it with a new SD card because you lose everything when you partition it  if there is not enough internal storage on your phone that possibly might be something to look into as a solution but I don't think placing a whole OS on SD is possible because it would be just too slow, so unless the OS has some files it can read from the SD card and you can place them there manually specifying the path, you are out of luck.

This could e.g. be the Calculator, LiveWallpapers, GooglePlus etc. Copy those &lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; files to a separate folder outside the &lt;code&gt;.zip&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;if unpacked to an empty folder, now zip it up again&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you removed a lot/couple of apps from &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt;, flashing will require less space there, and no essential parts should be missing any longer. Now if you still want to use e.g. GooglePlus, you can install it via the Playstore (which should place it below &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;, so no prob) or, if not found there, use the copy created in step 3 to install it manually (for this, make sure install from other sources is enabled in your settings).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If in doubt whether a file is really needed by the system itself, better leave it (or at least ask first).

The tablet has Wi-Fi, but no cellular radio; so in order to use the Internet with it when there's no Wi-Fi hotspot nearby, I have the phone set up for Wi-Fi tethering: it effectively becomes a Wi-Fi hotspot, and the tablet uses that for Internet access.  This works perfectly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, I recently discovered what appears to be an alternate method of tethering: Bluetooth.  Both devices have menu options that seem to allow it; here's screenshots of how I configured both devices:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/KQ8rt.png&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/1z7CY.png&quot; alt=&quot;Phone&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/YqDeE.png&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/S5JGf.png&quot; alt=&quot;Tablet&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;Options on Phone and Tablet (click images for larger variants)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I tested this by turning Wi-Fi off on both devices, then opening the browser on the tablet and refreshing the page that happened to be loaded.

It cannot access e.g. the &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt; partition for two reasons: 1) it is not made available via UMS, and 2) it is mounted read-only (unless the device is rooted, and you explicitely mounted it read-write -- which cannot be done without rooting). Similar reason (not made available via UMS) applies to all other partitions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;So what about restoring the Android system?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Nothing. No need for this.

The specific app isn't important to this question.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;This app has no legitimate need to run in the background. I only need file management when I'm actively using the app. (In case my specific example does turn out to have a need, suppose for the sake of the discussion that it actually doesn't.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The fact that it runs in the background is confirmed by a &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eolwral.osmonitor&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;system monitor&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Even though I believe that it has no legitimate need to run in the background and don't want it to do so, I &lt;em&gt;don't&lt;/em&gt; want to uninstall it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Can I prevent such an app from running in the background?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Practical application&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To illustrate the need for this specific question, and why I'm not naming specific apps, consider what I had in mind when I wrote this question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would like to go through my apps and decide which ones I want to run as services. Some should run without restrictions. Some should never run. Some should only run when some set of conditions is met. Using the information from an answer to this question, I could implement this--possibly by some custom scripting, possibly using Tasker, or possibly using another approach. Trying to handle this via each individual app's settings would be well-nigh impossible.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course, if what I'm asking in this question isn't possible, then this application of it isn't viable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Notes based on the comments and answers&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The reason why I want to do this is irrelevant. Perhaps it's to save battery. Perhaps it's another reason. This question is about &lt;em&gt;how&lt;/em&gt;, not &lt;em&gt;why&lt;/em&gt;. A warning that a particular solution could have negative side-effects is useful if presented along with that solution. Saying, &amp;quot;It's impossible&amp;quot; is legitimate if true. Saying &amp;quot;Don't do it&amp;quot; isn't useful.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;This is not a duplicate of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/1349/14562&quot;&gt;question&lt;/a&gt; I linked to in my first paragraph. That question was about saving memory. This one isn't. That one said, basically, &amp;quot;Don't try.&amp;quot; That's not a valid answer to this question.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The specific apps are unimportant, which is why I was vague. I did give a hint as to a specific example I had in mind, but I'm looking for a general answer here.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A solution must also prevent an app from automatically restarting; otherwise, it isn't much of a solution.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A number of people have stated that this is a duplicate. Let me try to explain more clearly why it isn't:&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;This question is about how to prevent an app from running in the background, which includes stopping it from restarting if killed.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The answers so far have fallen into a few general categories:&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;You shouldn't try, because doing so is unnecessary.&lt;/em&gt; I'm not disputing this point at this time, but &amp;quot;You shouldn't try&amp;quot; is very different from &amp;quot;You can't.&amp;quot; Logically, it's addressing a different question, namely &amp;quot;Should I try to kill apps that I don't want to run?&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Use method X to kill the app.&lt;/em&gt; Unfortunately, when I tried said method, it didn't prevent the app from restarting, just like others predicted. So, it isn't really an answer.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ping the developer/it's a bug.&lt;/em&gt; This is the most useful of the suggested solutions, but my question was looking for a generic solution.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The other questions that this question has been said to be a duplicate of cover the same ground as in my previous point. Thus, my specific question has &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; been addressed, despite many claims to the contrary. It's appearing, however, that the answer is a simple &amp;quot;You can't&amp;quot;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;There's a related question on meta.

There are probably many other sources as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I will just give a few examples here to get you started:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Utilizing apps&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The probably best known app in this context is &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;aLogcat&lt;/a&gt;, available for free in the playstore (and the dev will happily accept your donation for the other variant of the same app).

The app allows you to filter the logs, to start/stop recording log messages, and even to store the recorded snippets to your SD-Card -- of course in plain text, as you requested.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another app in this section is &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xtralogic.android.logcollector&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Log Collector&lt;/a&gt;, which simply tries to grab the entire available log and send it via the share menu&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/wVmZ5.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/uJZlU.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;aLogCat&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/wVmZ5.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Log Collector&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;The Android Debug Bridge (ADB)&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Android Software Development Kit (SDK) includes the &lt;code&gt;adb&lt;/code&gt; command for various tasks. Amongst many others, it offers the &lt;code&gt;adb shell&lt;/code&gt; to execute commands on the device. Using this, you can gather your desired log information as well: Just prefix below commands with &lt;code&gt;adb shell&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Command prompt on the device&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Using a terminal app (e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Android Terminal Emulator&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spartacusrex.spartacuside&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Terminal IDE&lt;/a&gt;) you can access the logs directly at the command prompt, locally on your device. A little more comfortable, this can be done running a ssh server (e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/p/droidsshd/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;DroidSSHd&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.shkschneider.dropbearserver&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;DropBear SSH Server&lt;/a&gt;) on your device, and access it from your computer.

In 99% of all cases, there is no reason to waste your precious memory by doing so. Android provides with intents and the already mentioned AlarmManager enough facilities to avoid long running services.

Activities consume some memory, so that you can go back to the app and pick up where you left off.  Activities are usually not able to run computations in the background, so no CPU or battery is used for them.  If battery life or CPU performance is your concern, you don't need to worry about these apps!  You don't need to worry about memory, either; Android will automatically kill the app and free the memory if the system is running low.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the app in background is running a service, that may be a different story.  Well-designed services spend most of their time sleeping, waking up for the occasional check (new social media notifications, for example).  However, poorly designed services may run more often or perform syncing operations that you don't want, affecting battery life and your data usage.  If you've got a rogue service you may want to try one of the solutions below.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Solutions&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're sure you want to make this app stop at all costs, you can try these methods.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Uninstall&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When an app does something you don't like, whether running in the background on startup or something else, your first option is to uninstall it.  Problem solved!  You can remove system apps if you have root, most easily with &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Titanium Backup&lt;/a&gt;, but be careful to remove only carrier bloatware and not critical system apps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, if you want to be able to use that app then this is not an option: keep reading.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ping the Developer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some of the greatest daemons that come with Android are services that run in background for no reason or when a simple interval check with Android's AlarmManager would be sufficient. We need to kill them all with fire, and not by ignoring them. Everything that does not involve a fix by the developer is just a hack that will result in other negative side effects.  If you contact the developer with your problem, they can fix the app and you can go on using it normally.  That's a win for everyone involved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manually Killing Apps&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, note that many apps will close completely if you Back out of them rather than using the Home button.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you are running Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean, you can go into Settings, hit Applications, and manually shut down the app by tabbing over to the running apps. Alternatively you can hit the Recent Applications button and swipe them off the screen to close them.  In older versions of Android there may be a built-in Task Manager added by the manufacturer to accomplish the same thing, or you can download a task manager app to do so.  For services, look at &lt;code&gt;Settings -&amp;gt; Applications -&amp;gt; Services&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WARNING:&lt;/strong&gt; Do &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; use automatic task killers!  Automatic task killers run in the background (exactly what you don't want) and kill apps whenever they start.  Most of the time this makes things worse, because apps often consume more resources when they're starting up compared to when they're sitting idle.  Services that run automatically and are restarted by the system will be killed over and over, wasting your battery.  Similarly, apps that receive system events known as Intents (such as network coverage and connectivity changes) will be killed every time they start up to receive an event.  Nothing good can come of it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A possible exception is automatic tasks that execute only when you, the user, perform a specific action.  In essence, they're just making manual task management easier for you.  An app like &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Tasker&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kebab.Llama&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Llama&lt;/a&gt; can be used to end activities when you switch apps, for example, ensuring they don't stay around in the background.  Instructions for Llama:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Create a new &lt;code&gt;Event&lt;/code&gt;. Add the condition called &lt;code&gt;Active App&lt;/code&gt;, and choose the status &lt;code&gt;App stopped or in background&lt;/code&gt;. Choose the app you want to focus on. Next, add an &lt;code&gt;Action&lt;/code&gt;. Select &lt;code&gt;Kill Application (root privileges)&lt;/code&gt;, then select your app again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, whenever you leave the app, Llama will kill it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Editing Autostarts and Intents&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As mentioned above, some applications may start when they receive Intents (system events).  By using an app like &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.permissions.donate&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Permissions Denied&lt;/a&gt; you can alter which permissions apps can request, which in turn limits which events they can receive.

As you are on a stock ROM, switching GPS might not work out-of-the-box. In case it doesn't work, take a look at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Secure Settings&lt;/a&gt; plugin, which should be able to help out.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I assume your raw concept is: 8am to 5pm is work time, and you want different settings during work hours and after leaving work, considering eventual late-work issues. So this should preferably turn out as a single profile: &lt;em&gt;At work do...&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;After work switch to...&lt;/em&gt;. So here's what shoud &lt;em&gt;basically&lt;/em&gt; work:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Profile &amp;quot;Work&amp;quot;:&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Condition:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Time from 8am Till 5pm&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Task:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Audio -&amp;gt; Silent Mode: On&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exit Task:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Misc -&amp;gt; GPS: On (might need to be replaced by &lt;em&gt;Secure Settings&lt;/em&gt;, see above)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now we enter a second profile, and you probably do not even need GPS:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Profile: &amp;quot;AfterWork&amp;quot;:&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Condition:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;State -&amp;gt; Tasker -&amp;gt; Profile Active: &amp;quot;Work&amp;quot; [x] Invert&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;State -&amp;gt; Phone -&amp;gt; Cell Near: (Scan your work cells) [x] Invert&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Task:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Audio -&amp;gt; Silent Mode: Off&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So you see you neither need GPS nor the 15min wait loop. At 8am the &amp;quot;Work&amp;quot; Profile gets active, and switches your phone to silent mode. As you do not really need GPS, you can define some dummy Exit Task here (e.g. again switching Silent Mode on), as otherwise Tasker would automatically revert to the &amp;quot;before&amp;quot; mode.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The second profile does not even check conditions before &amp;quot;Work&amp;quot; has completed, as Tasker remembers which Profiles are active. After that, it starts monitoring the surrounding mobile cells -- which are either known by the phone as needed for telephony. If none of the surrounding cells match any of the scanned cells, the attached task is executed and Silent Mode turned off.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But why so complicated? Much easier done like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Profile &amp;quot;Work&amp;quot;:&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Condition:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Cell Near (Scan your work place mobile cells)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Task:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Audio -&amp;gt; Silent Mode: On&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Done.

It rather speaks in terms of PDF specifics, where &quot;bookmarks&quot; are what is commonly referred to as &quot;table of contents&quot; (or in short: TOC), see &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cerience.com/products/reader/android/features&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;RepliGo Reader for Android Features&lt;/a&gt;.

This way you get a kind of &quot;named bookmarks&quot;, which should be selectable like those &quot;PDF bookmarks&quot;. I cannot say how exactly &lt;em&gt;Repligo&lt;/em&gt; handles this, as I don't use it myself. It could very well be that it simply allows to add annotations, but doesn't keep an index for them.

(*read more below*)&#xA;!NEW: Reminder.&#xA;- Brightness! (Auto, Full, Custom, Dim Screen)&#xA;- Launch an app. (launch your internet radio to make music alarm)&#xA;- Silent mode, vibration mode, volumes(ringer, media, alarm)&#xA;- Bluetooth and WiFi ON and OFF&#xA;- Airplane Mode&#xA;- Change Ringtone and notification tone, Silent Ringtone&#xA;And more!&#xA;Create a task once and it will execute automatically. Configure time and days of week when you want it to repeat. Morning, daytime, night, weekdays, weekends, you name it! Save battery by switching off unused functions when you don't need them.&#xA;***About Mobile Data***&#xA;Mobile data is available on all supported Android versions. I have tested it on Nexus One and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. However it may not work on some phone models, i.e. on HTC EVO 4G Mobile Data Off works, but On - doesn't.&#xA;I'm very sorry if this function doesn't work on your device, very often manufacturers block this and there's nothing i can do about it :(&#xA;Phone Schedule is a tool that allows you to create a list of tasks, which you want to automatically run at specific times. For example, you might want to switch your phone to silent mode when you go to bed, so you add a task, set time to 10pm, select desired days of week(say, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) and select action &quot;Set silent mode&quot;. That's it! Your phone will automatically switch to silent mode at 10pm on every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.&#xA;Here's an example: &#xA;- Switch ringer off at night and switch it back on in the morning. &#xA;- Wake up to your favorite music by launching your internet radio app.&#xA;- Make your screen brighter during day time and keep it darker in the evening to save battery.&#xA;- Switch WiFi on when you get home and switch it off when you're off to work.&#xA;- Automatically turn off mobile data when you go to bed to save battery and turn it back on when you wake up&#xA;Phone Schedule is highly configurable, supports multiple tasks at one time, lets you specify days of week when you want specific tasks to run. If you want every task to trigger a notification in your phone's notification bar, you can easily enable notifications on the Settings page. Disabling notifications is just as easy ;) &quot;Pause Tasks&quot; function, use it when you have unexpected business meeting, so scheduled tasks won't execute during a timeout which you set.&#xA;Phone Schedule runs in background, so once you setup your tasks, you won't need to reschedule them manually, everything is done automatically.&#xA;List of supported actions:&#xA;- Silent mode&#xA;- Vibration mode&#xA;- Normal mode&#xA;- Switch WiFi On&#xA;- Switch WiFi Off&#xA;- Switch Bluetooth On&#xA;- Switch Bluetooth Off&#xA;- Airplane Mode On&#xA;- Airplane Mode Off&#xA;- Change Ringer volume&#xA;- Change Media volume&#xA;- Change Alarm volume&#xA;- Change Notification volume&#xA;- Change Ringtone&#xA;- Silent Ringtone &#xA;- Change Notification Tone&#xA;- Silent Notification Tone&#xA;- Brightness - Auto&#xA;- Brightness - Full&#xA;- Brightness - Cutsom&#xA;- Dim Screen&#xA;- Launch an app&#xA;- Mobile Data On (May not work on some devices)&#xA;- Mobile Data Off (May not work on some devices)&#xA;- Reminder&#xA;The list of actions is continuously growing, stay tuned for updates!&#xA;About permissions:&#xA;* Access network state, Change network state - To enable/disable mobile data &#xA;* Full internet access - for crash reports, this greatly helps to debug the app and prevent crashes&#xA;* Change your audio settings - to set silent/vibration/normal modes and change volumes&#xA;* Automatically start an boot - to start working on your tasks automatically on boot after you reboot your phone&#xA;* create Bluetooth connections, Bluetooth administration, change WiFi state - to switch WiFi and Bluetooth On and Off(No data transmission!)&#xA;* Modify global system settings - To enable/disable Airplane mode&#xA;* Prevent phone from sleeping - to execute your tasks when your phone is sleeping&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="15357" LastActivityDate="2012-10-07T17:07:12.783" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Without root, this get's a little complicated -- but not impossible, if you're running Android 4.x.

Like you, I never found any corresponding system settings.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To get rid of that &quot;random system&quot;, I took a look around. As usual with Android, almost everything is triggering (or triggered by) an intent, and a listener reacts on that.

I never imagined how much to do with a single button :D Unfortunately for me, I could not yet convince the one app I tried to behave as intended -- except for single click and single hold (i.e. play/stop/take-call and volume-up) -- but that may be due to the combination of headset/phone/app, and I certainly will try to figure this out by evaluating different apps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To give you a starting point: there's e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.jays.headsetcontrol&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;JAYS Headset Control&lt;/a&gt;, which I currently use.

Once a file is accessed though, it transfers at a reasonable speed (copying a single 42MB file in Windows Explorer took around 60 seconds, so 700KB/s).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thus WebDAV via Windows Explorer is Ok for downloading a few large files whose location you know, but browsing or syncing a whole device this way isn't quick. I synced 1.75GB of data in around 6000 files and 400 directories and it took 10 hours, i.e. around 50KB/s or 10 files/dirs per minute on average.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Using the WebDAV server through Windows command line&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even from the command line, each directory listing takes 5-6 seconds, as does any file access. Copying the same 42MB file from the command line took around 20 seconds, so around 2.1MB/s.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Using the WebDAV server through a web browser&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The fastest option for WebDAV is to use your web browser though, directly through the URL given. Changing directory rarely takes more than a second and downloading the same 42MB file from the web browser took around 12 seconds, so around 3.6MB/s.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The downside of using the web browser is that it only shows the date (no size or type) and makes no distinction between files and directories so if a file doesn't have an extension (or a directory does) then it may not be obvious if clicking on a link will take you to another web page (for a directory) or start a download (for a file).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Caveats&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;By default, Windows limits the size of WebDAV downloads to 50000000 bytes (47.6MB), though this can be &lt;a href=&quot;http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-hardware/error-0x800700df-the-file-size-exceeds-the-limit/d208bba6-920c-4639-bd45-f345f462934f&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;changed through a registry hack&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;code&gt;FileSizeLimitInBytes&lt;/code&gt; in &lt;code&gt;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters&lt;/code&gt;) if you know what you are doing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WebDAV access is not secure&lt;/strong&gt;.

When you disable the location services you are opting out of sending data to Google. Google location services is actually an internet database (Google Location Server) that is made available to mobile device manufacturers as an application licensed by Google. This is the database that is updated with WiFi and cell ID data from devices running Android, and was initially populated with data collected by the Street View cars (up until 2010 anyway). It helps your device obtain a quicker initial fix by using WiFi AP or Cell ID information.

You can set them to update automatically if you will (personally, I don't.

Went back to sleep, and about 8am, was horrified to see that the battery had SOMEHOW drained to 23%...It had drained 3/4 of its capacity in just under 2 hours!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well that aint happening.  After some very tedious research, I was left with a few possibilities: 1) bad battery or device (no kidding) (2) Make some setting changes (i did that...I set my display to minimum and NOT to auto, and made a few other changes) But the thing that did the trick was uninstalling some apps that I just installed.  Once that was done, the phone ran fine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem is that some applications, especially third party ones, will not always work properly, and/or can drain the battery.  The only way to know for sure is to uninstall  them...wait to see if it helps, and if it does, then install them again, and see if the problem returns.  i elected to NOT reinstall the applications.  I figure that i can try others, and today, I only install one app at a time, and if the phone behaves properly, then it stays.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are MANY things one can do to extend battery life.  I LOVE Juice Defender Pro.  It does what it says it will do, and was worth every dime I paid.  There are other things you can do like Use airplane mode when listening to mp3's.  I went on a motorcycle ride, listened to music for 3 hours, and only used about 8% of my battery life to do it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, I hope this helps.

This is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; the same as root/sudo/su permissions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One example that I know of and use daily is the ability to reset the missed call notification counter. I have Go Dialer, which is a replacement for the stock dialer and contact app (how you make phone calls). When I miss a call, android lets me know that with a notification. However, Go Dialer is not allowed to reset this counter, even though it asks for that permission when you install the app. Android 2.2 and earlier let user apps reset it, but made this permission a system-only accessible permission for android 2.3&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By moving my Go Dialer app to the system partition, it is allowed to reset this counter. Root is not required for the app (except, of course, to actually move the app to the System partition).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another system permission is the ability to set the current gps location. Now, Android does have a preference where you can allow mock locations, so any gps spoofing app you install can declare a gps location. But if the app is in the System partition, mock locations can be disabled while still letting the app spoof the gps location.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Updates&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;System apps can be updated just like user apps, but the update is never integrated into the original rom. That is, system apps have the unique ability to roll back to the version that existed when the rom was first installed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Move to SD&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Android lets users move &lt;code&gt;user&lt;/code&gt; apps from internal memory to the sd card. System apps cannot be moved and always take up some internal space. Most (all?) devices, though, have internal user apps on a different partition, so uninstalling a system app would not give you any more user app space (other than the dalvik-cache being removed).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You will recover some space if you uninstall any updates to a system app. As noted, the updates are not integrated with the rom and are thus stored in user space. The updates are not allowed to move to the sd card either, but if removed, user space is recovered.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;How it affects you&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you are a casual android user, you likely won't run into scenarios where system vs user app would make a difference. If you are an advanced user, you likely have root and can thus change a system app to user (and vice versa) if you ever run into one of these situations.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="11190" LastEditorUserId="11190" LastEditDate="2013-06-11T13:36:19.777" LastActivityDate="2013-06-11T13:36:19.777" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This should be done in every possible text edit field, inline. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ideally I would type up some text and, if the keyboard I'm using is configured to do so, it would replace as I type or after a word is autocompleted. Unfortunately I haven't found any keyboard app that allows for this. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A second way to do this would be to complete typing in any text field, select all typed text, share or copy paste to another app that will do the replacement, then paste the replaced text back into the text field.

I figured I'd check for a more elegant or existing solution before considering that.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The main purpose of this is to accomodate whoever types in Greek and wants to use a keyboard's autocomplete functionality, in particular to send SMS in GSM-ASCII encoding and thus be able to use 160 characters per single SMS. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All keyboards that I've tried (Go Keyboard, Swype, Swiftkey, stock ICS, Samsung), exhibit the same issue, namely the capitalized versions of the words in their Greek dictionaries incorrectly include accents on the vowels. This probably happens because the dictionaries include only the lowercase versions of the words, while automatically uppercasing them on demand to save store space or to avoid what they perceive as duplication. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, although lowercase greek vowels may carry an accent, uppercase ones must not do so. More importantly, the 7-bit GSM-ASCII encoding for SMS transmission that allows for 160 characters per SMS only includes uppercase Greek characters without accents (it does not include lowercase ones). As soon as a single lowercase or accented uppercase character is typed, the SMS must be sent using UCS-2 encoding which is 16-bit and limits us to 70 characters per SMS.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The list of characters and their replacements is this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Ά =&amp;gt; Α&#xA;Έ =&amp;gt; Ε&#xA;Ή =&amp;gt; Η&#xA;Ί =&amp;gt; Ι&#xA;Ό =&amp;gt; Ο&#xA;Ύ =&amp;gt; Υ&#xA;Ώ =&amp;gt; Ω&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Would anyone have any idea how to go about doing this, in an existing app or some sort of macro with string replacement functionality? &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Apologies for the long question, if you reached this far.

I paste the accented text into the input field, click the button, and it removes all accents, copies to clipboard, and destroys the scene. For ease of use I am launching that one from a Task Cut shortcut that can be added to any home screen or even better, from a &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Swipepad&lt;/a&gt; portal. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thus the crude and intermediate solution is the following: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;type autocompleted capitalized greek words in SMS or other app, select all, copy&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;without switching apps, swipe to the Task Cut shortcut that opens the created Scene&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;paste into the text field and click on the button, which removes accents from uppercase vowels, copies back into clipboard, and destroys the scene&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;back in the initial app, select all, paste overwriting with the unaccented text&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It is unfortunately not free as it requires the paid app Tasker. Hopefully the keyboard or atleast SMS apps will allow for this functionality, or even better someone will write the equivalent in a native android app.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am including below the Tasker XML that you can use to import this into Tasker, should you find it useful.

This will give you the ability to give commands to &lt;code&gt;adb&lt;/code&gt; and we can start accessing the device. I'm quoting the &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/19912/missing-internal-flash-memory-and-sd-card-does-not-mount&quot;&gt;answer you linked&lt;/a&gt; here:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If the connection is OK, it will start a server and after e few seconds show the '$' prompt. this means you are connected to the tablet and have direct access to the linux shell. If you type 'ls' you will see a list of folders that contain the operating system and all supporting files that make your tablet work. Now navigate to the folder containing the Flash file system by typing:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;cd ./dev/block/vold&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;If you now type 'ls' again you should see three or four folders that have numbered names. One of them is '31:8'. This is the folder that points to the internal flash. Now we can fix our problem by recreating the MS-DOS (FAT32) file system on this partition. Type the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/block/vold/31:8/&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;This will fix the FAT32 filesystem. Now leave the shell by typing 'exit', disconnect the USB and restart your tablet. On my system this made internal storage re-appear, and after that it also mounted the sd-card. Problem solved.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please follow these steps and report if it works or not, please supply any error messages and I'll try to help you further to the best of my abilities.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is that normal that “Internal Flash Storage” is reported as “0”? Will this give me any problems?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is likely just due to the fact that the internal storage isn't detected by the device. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's broken or lost forever.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd also like to add as a final point that &lt;strong&gt;messing with the partitions on the internal storage is usually a very bad idea&lt;/strong&gt;. Don't do it unless you know exactly what you're doing and why. You should always assume that messing with partitions can lead to data loss.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="15575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:28.367" LastActivityDate="2012-10-20T11:53:42.797" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So I'll just describe this in the general case and in a very basic form.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The way push is done is that the client (i.e. the phone) opens a TCP connection to the messaging server (e.g. Google). This connection is meant to remain open for as long as the phone is turned on. Fortunately a TCP connection uses absolutely no bandwidth when it's not transmitting anything, so it doesn't waste a lot of data, the radio transmitter can power down, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The connection &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; remain open indefinitely, however behind a NAT, the NAT infrastructure keeps a table of open connections that it is handling, and drops connections that have been idle for some time, usually 10-15 minutes. Neither end gets notification of this. So this is handled by sending a TCP keep-alive packet which refreshes the entry in the carrier's NAT connection table. This only costs about 50 bytes or so, and only needs to be done every few minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16963" LastActivityDate="2012-10-20T15:52:17.217" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Depending on it's size, the internal memory (also known as primary storage) will fill up with those applications that can't be moved to the external memory. &#xA;By having a large internal memory you can avoid the problem of not being able to install more application because of memory shortage.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have a rooted phone though you can move these application to an partition on the SD Card. With the use S2E (search in Google Play store) you can move applications to that particalar partition.&#xA;If you do something like this, make sure you get a nice fast microSD card though. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also remember that the Android system itself is installed on the internal memory causing the free space to shrink even more. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Caching&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Applications use caches to store data.

After installing it go to the following path  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;C:\flashtool\firmwares&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;4: Now delete all existed kernels/files in this folder and copy&amp;amp;paste the kernels which have you downloaded for &lt;strong&gt;ST15i &amp;amp; ST18i&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;5: Now click on &lt;code&gt;flashtool.exe&lt;/code&gt; for 32-bit OS and &lt;code&gt;flashtool64.exe&lt;/code&gt; for 64-bit OS. Now click on the &lt;code&gt;flash&lt;/code&gt; icon for flash the kernel and select the &lt;strong&gt;Flashmode&lt;/strong&gt; and click OK as shown in the screen shot below.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/3nCRT.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;and select the kernel of ST18i which has the name &lt;strong&gt;ray&lt;/strong&gt; in falshtool and click OK.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/Z0U5T.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After clicking OK a guide window will appear and ask you to &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Switch off your phone  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Connect your phone with USB while hold the volume down key (Guide&#xA;  shows the method for other devices while ST15i has to hold the volume&#xA;  down key)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/LfLNW.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your phone driver installs successful then its good but if not don't worry go to &lt;code&gt;C:\flashtool\drivers&lt;/code&gt; and run the exe and select the &lt;code&gt;Flashmode drivers&lt;/code&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/GHasQ.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;May be Windows will prompt you to not install these drivers but install them anyway and reconnect the phone while hold the volume down key. After flashing the kernel it will restart phone automatically. The screen will be blank/black don't worry its normal. &lt;strong&gt;Now close the flashtool its very important otherwise rootkit will not work properly&lt;/strong&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now extract the rooting toolkit in the &lt;code&gt;C:\&lt;/code&gt; drive, if antivirus prompt you it as virus please turn off it its a false one while my &lt;strong&gt;ESET Smart security&lt;/strong&gt; doesn't give any virus report in this.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now connect your phone while it would be blank/balck screen don't worry its normal and you can root it though, and run the &lt;code&gt;runme.bat&lt;/code&gt; file. It will start the root process, your phone will reboot automatically but it would be still blank/black screen and when it will say &lt;strong&gt;All Done!&lt;/strong&gt; on your command line you are done. Now disconnect your phone and pull off the battery and put it back(as you can't shut down it when your screen is black ;-)). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now open the flashtool again and flash the stock kernel of ST15i and now enjoy the rooted phone. For check if you have rooted your phone successful there is an app installed &lt;code&gt;superuser&lt;/code&gt; on your phone or you can download the &lt;code&gt;Go backup/Titanium Backup&lt;/code&gt; to check out its rooted or not.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Following link will help you to root GB and ICS too.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;How To Root 4.0.3 &amp;amp; How to root 2.3 ( Gingerbread )&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="12332" LastEditorUserId="12332" LastEditDate="2014-03-11T04:16:57.033" LastActivityDate="2014-03-11T04:16:57.033" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But saying that, it really depends on how you use your phone.  I've gone for the largest amount of internal storage in my SGS3 as I could get (32Gb) and then a 64Gb external sd card, but I wish that I'd waited out for the 64Gb phone - reasons to follow after the tech bit:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The way that the version of Android you'll get on your SGS3 works is that it stores all application data on the internal storage and doesn't let you move that to the external SD card.  This is probably to keep a good user experience - things will start going very wrong if you moved all your data to the external SD card and then removed that SD card.  To note, older versions of Android did allow you to move apps to the external SD card. So when you download a game like &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftN3HM&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;NOVA&lt;/a&gt;, which clocks in at around 2GB of storage for the extra data it downloads, you will see that 16Gb or 32Gb internal storage is going to fill up soon.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To make matters worse - there's an extra layer to this:&#xA;Android automatically assigns a private folder to each app, located in a protected folder on the internal storage.  If you are non rooted, you won't be able to see this data, but it's what gets cleared when you 'clear data' within an application settings screen.  If you are rooted it's located at '/data/data/'.  This data is kept private so that only that app can look at the data, hence apps can't look at potentially sensitive information belonging to other apps.  This data will always be located on the phone memory for security reasons.  Some apps store a lot of data in these private folders: the newer version of Google music is a prime example - it stores all cached music in this folder (as mentioned in a comment older versions stored the music to the SD card, but this has changed in the newer versions to &lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23451&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;much annoyance&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So all your apps store all their data to the internal storage and there's not much you can do about it. After using my phone for a few months (installing applications, downloading music etc) my internal storage had 4Gb free (out of 32Gb) and my external SD card still had 60Gb free from my 64Gb.  It seems that unless you root your phone and hack it a little, there's very little which will natively use the external SD card (I think you can relocate where photos are stored but that's about it from the native apps).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hence I suggest to get as much internal storage space as possible, as that's the space which is going to be used first and fastest.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In regards to the other comments about installing apps to the ext card - I think they must still be using Android 2.x as this hasn't been an option since then, for the reasons explained above.  To re-iterate - you won't be able to install apps on your ext sdcard using your SGS3 on a stock ROM&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1353" LastEditorUserId="1353" LastEditDate="2012-10-21T10:47:54.453" LastActivityDate="2012-10-21T10:47:54.453" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I've a lot of experience with Android but haven't specifically tried hacking Google services on to a non AOSP based ROM.

If you can't backup, I'd think seriously about not trying this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That said - Google doesn't like ROM developers ship their ROMs with all the Google framework apps installed, which is good for you because it means that everything you need to get up and running properly with the Playstore, GMail, Google Accounts etc can be found in one handy zip file.

Note that this is a nonsensical error, as the only possible way for the file to even be attempted is for it to exist. It's annoying when error messages are themselves incorrect.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Next, I fired up DropBear SSH on my phone, started up the server and connected via SSH. So far, so good. But when I tried to use scp to copy the files across...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;$ scp -r sdcard0/ root@192.168.2.11:/storage/sdcard0&#xA;Welcome to DropBear SSH Server!&#xA;root@192.168.2.11's password: &#xA;sh: scp: No such file or directory&#xA;lost connection&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Grr.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I tried to use a GUI method and use a file manager to copy the files. If I use the USB computer connection settings, I have two options: MTP or PTP. When I use MTP my file manager (Nautilus) can't even list a directory on my phone. The backend just times out. When I use PTP, I can only see camera-related folders. I can copy individual files, but when I try to copy everything, I get an error stating that there's not enough space and that 5 GB more is required. Obviously there's enough space, because what came off the &amp;quot;sdcard&amp;quot; must be able to fit back on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What gives? Why is it so difficult to move files from my computer to my phone?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Update&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After reading some related questions, I was reminded of FTP. I installed an FTP server on my phone and the files are curently being transferred. Of coures, I never thought of FTP earlier since it's obsolete technology and I haven't had a use for it until now for years.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, my question changes to this: &lt;strong&gt;Why did the other methods, which are superior to FTP, fail?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="14562" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2013-02-13T19:07:41.180" Title="Unable to copy files to /sdcard" Tags="&lt;sd-card&gt;&lt;adb&gt;&lt;restore&gt;&lt;file-management&gt;" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But this approach can't be considered &lt;em&gt;Call Standby&lt;/em&gt;, because you will not receive calls. From the point of view of cellular operator, your phone behaves exactly as if shut down.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Switching to Airplane mode shuts down the cellular connection, including voice and data, but it also turns off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Note that you can turn any of them ON in Airplane mode, but this will put extra load on the battery.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Except from radio, the major power consumer is the screen. Actually, typically it uses much more power than all the radios together. If you want to keep running longer, set brightness to minimum, set &quot;screen off&quot; timeout to minimum, and avoid turning the screen too often. If you have an AMOLED device, e.g. Galaxy Nexus, the display power request depends on the actual brightness of the screen. If you choose a darker theme, or switch your book reader to &quot;night mode&quot;, you can reduce the battery drain. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of all colors except black, red uses the least power. See description of a special app that boasts battery life improvement by applying color filter and adjusting the brightness: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.azzamtranslator.com/lux-auto-brightness-manual-or-auto-screen-brightness-adjustments-according-to-time-or-environment/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://www.azzamtranslator.com/lux-auto-brightness-manual-or-auto-screen-brightness-adjustments-according-to-time-or-environment/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that Airplane Mode does not disable GPS. GPS is not running on its own, so disabling it in location settings will not effect the battery life, but if some app, like Maps or Camera decides to check your location too often, this may become very significant. Without cellular or Wi-Fi, GPS can actually need even more power, because it will not have the crude location estimate to begin from.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Other than that, any app that runs in background can wake the CPU up and consume more power. Use a task manager to shut down applications that you don't need in your &quot;standby&quot; mode. This is especially important if you decide not to switch to Airplane Mode, because the apps in background can not usually do much if they don't have access to Internet.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you choose not to switch to Airplane Mode, there are other things you should be aware of. Turn off system synch and turn off cellular data. Set &quot;2G only&quot; if this is available on your phone and on your network. Shut down any unused background apps. Don't wake the screen up too often.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, Android includes a nice utility (in Settings/Battery) that displays power consumption by different components of the system, in percent:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZMj7R.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;power gauge&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Many system tools available on the Play Store feature similar or improved versions of this monitor.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="22992" LastActivityDate="2012-10-29T07:50:16.930" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

With this method you can safely mount/dismount and you should still be able to use ADB to pull and push files to/from your device.

At the time of writing, the only official Android Ice Cream Sandwich phone is the Galaxy Nexus, and mine doesn’t work. But future ICS phones might work, depending on whether they have an SD card slot or not, and whether they support exporting the card as USB mass storage. If it works, you should be good to go.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First up, install the necessary tools:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;sudo apt-get install mtp-tools mtpfs&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, connect your Galaxy Nexus to your computer. On your phone, open up the notification drawer, and click on “USB Connection type”. Make sure that MTP is selected.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then, run these commands:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;mtp-detect | grep idVendor&#xA;&#xA;mtp-detect | grep idProduct&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You shall get an output like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[martyn@martyn-ThinkPad-X220 1] ~ &amp;gt;mtp-detect | grep idProduct&#xA;Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung GT P7310/P7510/N7000/I9070/I9100/I9300 Galaxy Tab 7.7/10.1/S2/S3/Nexus/Note/Y.&#xA;   idProduct: 6860&#xA;&#xA;[martyn@martyn-ThinkPad-X220 1] ~ &amp;gt;mtp-detect | grep idVendor&#xA;Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung GT P7310/P7510/N7000/I9070/I9100/I9300 Galaxy Tab 7.7/10.1/S2/S3/Nexus/Note/Y.&#xA;   idVendor: 04e8&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note down the numbers written in front of idVendor and idProduct, you’ll need those later on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, run this commands:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;gksu gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A gedit window should open up.

Similarly, replace PRODUCTID with the idProduct you had noted down. In my case, they were 04e8 and 685c respectively, but they might have been different for you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, remember to re-type the quotes in the line after you’ve copied and pasted it, otherwise udev may output an error. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you’re in doubt, you can copy the same line from &lt;a href=&quot;http://pastebin.com/5LYc7WTg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this pastebin&lt;/a&gt; instead and then replace PRODUCTID and VENDORID as needed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Save and close the file.

Now, restart your computer, and then run these three commands :&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;echo “alias android-connect=\”mtpfs -o allow_other /media/GalaxyNexus\”&quot; &amp;gt;&amp;gt; ~/.bashrc&#xA;&#xA;echo “alias android-disconnect=\”fusermount -u /media/GalaxyNexus\”&quot; &amp;gt;&amp;gt; ~/.bashrc&#xA;&#xA;source ~/.bashrc&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again, do re-type the quotes in each command after you’ve copied, otherwise the command won’t work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Connect your phone again, and then make sure your phone is using MTP, then run this command:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;android-connect&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Voila! You can now browse your Android phone contents using Nautilus. Just fire up the file manager, and then in the side bar click GalaxyNexus to browse your phone contents just like you would do with a USB stick. You can also add, remove and modify files just like a normal file system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You might have noticed that you cannot use the Nautilus eject icon to disconnect the phone. Instead, to safely remove the phone, just run the command:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;android-disconnect&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From now onward, you just need to run android-connect to mount your phone and then android-disconnect to safely remove your phone. Everything else should be handled automatically. I tried many ways of getting the mount and unmount to happen automatically on cable connect, but this was the best solution I could come up with.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These two commands won’t require root permissions to run.

So unfortunately, you can't install Apps in that space.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;About the space in SD card,&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;a. Facebook App is phone memory only app (Annoying!)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;b. Mostly, your apps will be first downloaded to phone memory and then you can move them to SD card.

At the top of the screen appears a yellow pop-up listing all my Google account in a drop-down, and two buttons: &quot;hide&quot; and &quot;sign in&quot;. Simply selecting an account and tapping &quot;sign in&quot; gives unchallenged access to my account via the web; no password is required.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This bothers me, since any malicious person who picks up my phone when I'm not looking can access my email, Google Drive, etc without knowing my password.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's assume that my screen-lock hasn't had time to kick in.... or we could assume it's easy to circumvent.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Enabling 2-stage sign in wouldn't help, since if someone has unauthorised access to my phone, they's receive the one-time token.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've tried looking through all phone and browser settings to no avail. I've hunted through Google Dashboard, and cannot see how to disable this. I've signed out, but the yellow pop-up always appears, always giving unchallenged access.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An app-lock app might be an option, but is inconvenient, especially since friends often use each other's mobile browsers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Installing a different browser may be an option, although again that's inconvenient, and would mean disabling the stock browser, which my come with other issues.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'd really like to disable the yellow pop-up permanently, but i cannot seem to find out how to do this.

I'm not bothered about other apps. I'm also not really bothered about why Google has chosen to do this. The lock screen isn't an issue either.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One scenario might be: an acquaintance asks to borrow my phone to use the web browser. Being a little cheeky, they go to Google and sign in, without a password being required. I wish to prevent this. If they were using a web browser on my laptop, they'd need a password. I'm not happy that they don't require it on my phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Other apps can be trivially protected by an app-lock. I prefer not to use an app-lock for the web browser.

I'm sorry if you'd prefer to not unlock your bootloader this way, but there are no other options for root access available.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;===========&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;DISCLAIMER&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This exploit modifies the CID of your device. Doing so likely voids your warranty, and may be in violation of your contract with AT&amp;amp;T (I am not a lawyer). Additionally, while this exploit has been tested and has not been observed to cause any negative side effects in practice, I am in no way responsible if it turns your device into an expensive paperweight.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;=============&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;INSTRUCTIONS&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Download the exploit from:&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://vulnfactory.org/public/X_Factor_Windows.zip&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://vulnfactory.org/public/X_Factor_Windows.zip&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Edit: Linux/Mac version available here. Thanks to Jesse Osiecki (@jesseosiecki) for suggesting I support this and providing me with a working version (that I ended up re-writing):&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://vulnfactory.org/public/X_Factor_Linux_OSX.zip&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://vulnfactory.org/public/X_Factor_Linux_OSX.zip&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Extract the entire zip file.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Connect your device via USB, ensure you have the latest HTC USB drivers installed (only on Windows), and ensure USB debugging mode is enabled.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Double-click &quot;run.bat&quot;, or if running Linux or OSX, open a terminal, change directories to the extracted exploit, and run &quot;./run.sh&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Follow the instructions printed by the exploit. You will need to authorize two backup restorations during the exploit's execution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the exploit is successful, it will print &quot;[+] Set CID!&quot;. If it does not print this, the exploit has failed, so please do not continue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The exploit will automatically reboot into bootloader mode. Press enter after bootloader mode is finished booting, and the exploit will print your CID. If the exploit was successful, it should return &quot;11111111&quot; as your CID.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If your CID was successfully set, press enter to generate an unlock token.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Visit htcdev.com, navigate to the &quot;Bootloader unlock&quot; section, choose &quot;All other supported models&quot; from the drop-down menu, and provide the unlock token when asked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash a custom recovery partition via fastboot, boot into recovery mode, and use a recovery ADB shell or install from an update.zip to install Superuser and su (I do not provide support for custom recoveries, but this is a straightforward process that other people can help with).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;======&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;NOTES&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I am not affiliated with any Android forum or group, including XDA - this is just where I've chosen to publish this exploit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Portions of this exploit are similar in concept to the ADB backup/restore exploit published by Bin4ry, but the vulnerability used in this exploit is entirely distinct from Bin4ry's.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="1353" LastActivityDate="2012-10-30T16:06:12.120" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm only getting half the battery life I should be getting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I recently lost root in an OTA upgrade; in re-rooting I had to do a wipe of the phone. Once I restored everything, the problem came back.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My phone is a Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean (4.1.2). I also experienced a similar issue with my previous phone, a Nexus One running MIUI and &quot;ICS&quot;. I attributed that phone's slowness to its age, but now I think there must be something else going on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What could be wrong, or how could I go about tracking down the problem?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Answers to questions posed&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;My current phone is running 4.1.2. The problem became much worse after the update. My previous phone was the one I said was running &quot;ICS&quot;. I put that in quotes because it was a custom ROM that claimed to be 4.0 but which I suspect was actually Gingerbread+.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;My RAM typically runs at about 85%. But, I doubt this is too useful since Android automatically kills apps when it needs more RAM and the Linux kernel is designed to keep RAM mostly full so as not to waste it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Currently, Google Maps is using the most battery, followed by Tasker. I'm quite sure that this isn't typical, however. I can't imagine why Google Maps would be so high, as I don't use it often. Anyway, I turned off the location permissions, so hopefully that'll cure Google Maps. And Tasker doesn't usually consume so much, but when the CPU is pegged it seems to have a harder time operating than most apps. (By the way, I have no location-based profiles in Tasker.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Upon rebooting my phone, it's OK until the screen goes off for a period of time. Then, the problems resume. They're so severe that it's often faster to reboot than to try to use the phone without rebooting.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Auto-rotate seems to have no effect. I regularly toggle it in the normal course of using my phone, and haven't noticed any difference either way.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Apps would appear to be the culprit since I've experienced the same issue on two different phones and since doing a factory reset.

In the last three days, I have not made any changes or installed any new software that I know of, but my battery life has dropped such that my phone, when fully charged in the morning, now powers off sometime before I go to bed.

Very importantly, a tablet that is running a version of Android below 3.0 Honeycomb (or ideally 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich) will not have any of Android's tablet-specific features accessible to it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, an app you develop will not necessarily run on all Android devices (or even all Android tablets). Obviously tablets that run a version of Android lower than what you have targeted with your app won't run it (though there are ways to make such apps run with some features missing). But also, Android device manufacturers often add a layer on top of Android (for example, Samsung adds a layer called TouchWiz and HTC adds Sense). If your app uses any of these added features, it won't run on devices that don't have it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lastly, I don't know where you are, but in India, where I live, there are a ton of cheap unlicensed Android tablets. If you buy one of these, all bets are off, since these manufacturers have not committed to rigourously testing their devices for full compatibility, which is one of the conditions required to be an Android licensee. In general, stuff will probably work on these tablets (provided the above criteria are met), but you can't count on it. Since these tablets don't have access to the Google Play store, so you're going to have to &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/7708/why-cant-i-download-games-apps-etc-from-any-site-except-the-official-android/7711&quot;&gt;sideload&lt;/a&gt; any apps you install on them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Despite these exceptions, the majority of applications will run flawlessly on most Android devices.

Applications do not need to be able to display the characters to handle files using those characters. Moreover, Droid Sans do support Japanese characters. In my stock Galaxy Nexus (not a Japanese phone), Japanese file names are handled and displayed fine using OI File Manager and ES File Explorer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;File names in Linux and Unix filesystems (e.g. ext2/ext3/ext4) are just sequence of bytes because the Linux kernel is encoding-transparent, i.e. the kernel does not care about filename encoding. Filename encoding is considered an application-level issue. In contrast, Java File API (and, therefore Android's Java File API) is encoding-aware and will attempt to decode file names according to system default encoding. The system default encoding in Android is utf-8. The situation is different if the files are stored in an SD card that is formatted using Windows filesystems, e.g. VFAT or NTFS. These filesystems specifies a certain on-disk encoding for file names.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Applications that directly handle files coming from another system, such as file transfer programs (FTP, etc) and decompression programs (Tar, Zip, etc) are supposed to translate file names from the remote systems or inside archives to the local system's default encoding. However, this isn't enforced by the kernel, so it is possible for poorly written (native) application to produce files with filename encoding that does not match system's default encoding. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My guess is that you have file names that are not encoded in utf-8, and the Java File API were not able to decode these filenames.

Virtualizers make music cool. Using it, users can tweak music listening experience.

Your ear drums interface the air with special vibrations (sound waves) which gives you that feeling. At home, air hitting your ear drum doesn't have that specialty of live show. What virtualizer does is that it vibrates the air (hitting ear drum) in special way. In short, virtualizers just alter the sound in a special way.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;How these algorithms work in background is out of scope of this site. To understand them, you need a strong background in Computer Science and Acoustics (Physics dealing with mechanical waves). Its thing of research.

Taking this a step further, a small&#xA;  delay (20-100ms) can be added to the inverted signal before mixing it&#xA;  back in to the original for output, adding a slight reverberation to&#xA;  the effect.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="482" LastEditorUserId="265176" LastEditDate="2018-06-09T10:20:38.107" LastActivityDate="2018-06-09T10:20:38.107" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

However, most tools will give such a warning before you proceed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In more detail ..&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Firmware Update (ROM code)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A firmware update will &lt;em&gt;normally&lt;/em&gt; cause ALL user data, settings, and (custom loaded) applications &lt;strong&gt;to be lost&lt;/strong&gt;. This is because many applications and your online identity (connection to e-store) are usually firmware specific.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exceptions:&lt;/strong&gt; For only a minor update it may be possible to just replace the firmware, and not disrupt the higher layers. This is &lt;strong&gt;only&lt;/strong&gt; advice for &lt;em&gt;developers&lt;/em&gt; and the truly adventurous.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your specific case: &lt;em&gt;You are attempting to replace the Telstra (big Australian telco) firmware with (possibly) later firmware. This will likely &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; include any Telstra specific applications, and you would need to re-register the phone (upon completion). By then ALL data, settings, and applications would have been lost.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Firmware Update (Android OS)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An Android update will &lt;em&gt;normally&lt;/em&gt; attempt to retain ALL user data, settings, and (custom loaded) applications. But this is only true for minor update, as major changes will make your existing applications incompatible. For &lt;em&gt;each application&lt;/em&gt;, the vendor may provide an update with support for the new version to convert (or import) any old data.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exceptions:&lt;/strong&gt; If you are attempting a major Android update (eg. from 3.2 to 4.0+) this will very likely &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; retain (in any useful form) any of your settings.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your specific case: &lt;em&gt;If you were using KIES to update Android from 4.0 to 4.0.4 (or similar) this should be as painless as OTA (over-the-air) updates (prompted on your phone).

When leaving an app, it is paused rather than killed, so that returning to it later is faster. If Android needs more memory, it will automatically close apps that have been paused but have not been used recently. Because Android manages memory automatically, &amp;quot;task killer&amp;quot; apps are not necessary. Google has blocked &amp;quot;task killer&amp;quot; apps for Android 2.2 and later.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While it is not possible to &amp;quot;kill&amp;quot; apps on Android, the Shortcut setting can be used to simulate this behavior by bringing the Home screen to the foreground. To do this, simply create a new Shortcut setting that opens the &amp;quot;Launcher&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Home&amp;quot; app (on HTC devices, the Launcher might be called &amp;quot;HTC Sense&amp;quot;). When the setting is fired, it will bring the Home screen to the foreground, pausing whatever application was previously on the screen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="2259" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2012-11-07T01:10:45.010" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The two constraints I'm working with here are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The device is running Android &lt;code&gt;2.2.1&lt;/code&gt; (I downgraded from &lt;code&gt;2.3.x&lt;/code&gt; using the &lt;code&gt;PASSIMG&lt;/code&gt; method).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The power button on the device is broken, so any method which requires pressing/holding it is ruled out.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The problem I am having is that even after following Linux-centric guides, I get to the point of installing the &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;SuperUser&lt;/a&gt; app followed by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ROM Manager&lt;/a&gt; app, but I'm never prompted to give ROM Manager superuser permissions and so can't flash the ClockworkMod recovery.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Below I describe the steps I've been taking so far, based on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-root-nexus-one-running-android-2-2-1-from-ubuntu-linux/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;How To Root Nexus One Running Android 2.2.1 From Ubuntu Linux&lt;/a&gt; guide.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Download/extract/move &lt;a href=&quot;http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/nexus_one_softroot.tar&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Nexus One Softroot files&lt;/a&gt; to same directory as &lt;code&gt;adb&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;From &lt;code&gt;adb&lt;/code&gt; directory, execute the following commands:  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;sudo ./adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/psneuter&lt;br&gt;&#xA;sudo ./adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox&lt;br&gt;&#xA;sudo ./adb push su /data/local/tmp/su&lt;br&gt;&#xA;sudo ./adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/psneuter&lt;br&gt;&#xA;sudo ./adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox&lt;br&gt;&#xA;sudo ./adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/su&lt;br&gt;&#xA;sudo ./adb shell cd /data/local/tmp ./psneuter&lt;br&gt;&#xA;sudo ./adb shell&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After executing &lt;code&gt;sudo ./adb shell&lt;/code&gt; as above, I get the &lt;code&gt;#&lt;/code&gt; prompt, which is purported to indicate that rooting was successful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Still following the guide, I then execute the commands which purportedly make root permanent:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system&lt;br&gt;&#xA;cd /data/local/tmp&lt;br&gt;&#xA;./busybox cp busybox /system/bin&lt;br&gt;&#xA;chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox&lt;br&gt;&#xA;busybox cp su /system/bin&lt;br&gt;&#xA;chmod 4755 /system/bin/su&lt;br&gt;&#xA;exit&lt;br&gt;&#xA;exit   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Again, still following the guide, I execute the commands which purportedly set the &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt; partition back to read-only:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;sudo ./adb shell&lt;br&gt;&#xA;su&lt;br&gt;&#xA;mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system&lt;br&gt;&#xA;exit&lt;br&gt;&#xA;exit  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, I download the &lt;em&gt;SuperUser&lt;/em&gt; app from the Android Market and open it to make sure it's running.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Next, I download the ROM Manager app from Google Play (looks like it pulled a sneaky and upgraded from Android Market to Google Play here).  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I run ROM Manager and choose &lt;em&gt;Flash ClockworkMod Recovery&lt;/em&gt;.  I'm prompted to confirm the phone is a Google Nexus One and then ROM Manager runs for about 30 seconds (yellow program bar goes all the way) before spitting out &lt;em&gt;An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!&lt;/em&gt;.  And this is the point I am stuck at.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I should note that at no point am I prompted by the SuperUser app to give the ROM Manager app super user permissions.  I don't restart the phone or do anything else throughout all of the steps I've described above, so I can't see any reason for root to have been lost at any point.  In fact, if I execute the command &lt;code&gt;sudo ./adb shell&lt;/code&gt; after all this, I still get the &lt;code&gt;#&lt;/code&gt; prompt indicating root.  And when I execute &lt;code&gt;id&lt;/code&gt; afterwards, I get &lt;code&gt;uid=0(root) gid=0(root)&lt;/code&gt; -- further confirmation of root.  I really am stuck on this one.  I've spent a lot of time digging through forum posts and online articles, but the signal to noise ratio is poor and I haven't been able to find anything that actually works.

To get the number, it needs... yes, &lt;code&gt;READ_PHONE_STATE&lt;/code&gt;.

You may be able to tell my assumptions are true if you investigate the described features. But the devs should be able to confirm or deny -- and IMHO it is their responsibility to explain.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My suggestion to developers always is: If there are sensitive permissions involved, split the connected functionality into addons/plugins. My standard example: &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=menion.android.locus&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Locus Maps&lt;/a&gt;. It needs internet access to load maps, that's crucial to the app. Being a navigation app, you &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; want it to navigate you to your friends -- so accessing your contacts makes sense. But that together with internet, well... you &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; be concerned. So Menion (the dev) moved this part to a (free) addon.

The same happens with the third ZIP (N10 compatibility).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So the installation doesn't actually finish. If I reboot the tablet, it runs Cyanogenmod 10, but the touchscreen doesn't work (I have to plug a USB mouse to interact with the operating system).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So what do I do to avoid the dreaded &quot;signature verification failed&quot; message?

Of course my MicroSD is properly mounted (I can see its files in the card from console, from the &quot;Terminal Emulator&quot;). I think this happens because the MicroSD is mounted in /storage/sdcard1 instead of in /storage/sdcard0, but I can't change that. I can't download APKs from the browser, either, because it also says something similar about not being able to access the SD (even though it's correctly mounted and I can see it mounted from Settings &gt; Storage).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've also tried the CyanogenMod A10 ROM available in this page, which is more recent (October instead of September):&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/3870...mod-10-tweaks/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/3870...mod-10-tweaks/&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;But the same happens.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've even tried installing the CWM Recovery ROM, but it doesn't let me installing that from the Recovery either (same message about the &quot;signature&quot;), and with Odin3 it doesn't work either because I don't know how to reach the &quot;download mode&quot;, which is needed for Odin3.

Let me walk through this step by step:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Last month, my phone bill was about $25 more than the month before. Comparing it to the previous bill, I found that the difference was due to over 100 texts having been received on the phone through the carrier.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I checked my phone settings, and found that in Google Voice, the setting under &lt;strong&gt;Sync and Notifications&lt;/strong&gt; &gt;&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Receive Text Messages&lt;/strong&gt; was set to &lt;strong&gt;Via the messaging app&lt;/strong&gt;. All the recent text messages were listed in the standard messaging app. I changed the Google Voice setting to &lt;strong&gt;Via the Google Voice app&lt;/strong&gt;, and had a friend send me a new text message. It appeared in Google Voice, but not in the standard messaging app.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What I seek is a way to lock down that Google Voice setting so that it cannot be changed.

A German version of this book now is available for EUR 35, published by Franzis (which can be found e.g. on its &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.de/Android-Forensik-Datenrecherche-Sicherheit-Datenanalyse/dp/3645602100/&quot;&gt;German Amazon page&lt;/a&gt; as well as on the publishers site, see &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.franzis.de/smartphone-multimedia/android-forensik&quot;&gt;this link&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While the link to &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/keesj/gomo/wiki/AndroidUserland&quot;&gt;AndroidUserland&lt;/a&gt; given in a comment on the question contains a very rudimentary list, a better (though also incomplete) &lt;em&gt;documentation&lt;/em&gt; can be found at &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.robotz.com/index.php/Android_File_System&quot;&gt;robotz.com&lt;/a&gt;.

This is the reason why you storage space could become low (the &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; partition) even if there is plenty of space on &lt;code&gt;/mnt/sdcard&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This situation was improved with Android 3.0: &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;/mnt/sdcard&lt;/code&gt; are now pointing to the same partition. &lt;sup&gt;Good job Google, that could have been done versions ago.&lt;/sup&gt; Which is also the reason why app2sd is no more needed on Android 3.0 or higher: You would only move the data within the same volume.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now we come to the answer if your question: Since &lt;code&gt;/mnt/sdcard&lt;/code&gt; is already mounted on the internal storage, an external SD-card has to use a different mount point. And this mount point is not specified by Google. It could be&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;/mnt/sdcard/ext_sd&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;/mnt/external&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;/mnt/extSdCard&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;/mnt/sdcard/external_sd&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;etc.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The API call &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Environment.html#getExternalStorageDirectory%28%29&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;getExternalStorageDirectory()&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt; usually points to the internal storage directory. This behavior is documented. There are &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/jow-ct/Environment2&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;open source projects that provide tools&lt;/a&gt; to find the external SD-card directory in a canonical way.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="440" LastEditorUserId="440" LastEditDate="2014-02-03T09:42:47.800" LastActivityDate="2014-02-03T09:42:47.800" CommentCount="8" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Sure, almost all apps found there are also in the Playstore (but not necessarily vice-versa: so for missing apps there are links to the playstore provided). Developers need to actively maintain their apps on this platform (i.e. upload new versions), and for paid apps &lt;em&gt;AndroidPIT&lt;/em&gt; provides its own license API.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So what is the plus of this platform? It has an active community (in the forums and the news blogs), and one can use alternative payment methods (e.g. Paypal) in addition to credit cards. Moreover, reviews for apps can be found there as well. So with the playstore comments, local comments, &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; the reviews, one can get a better idea of what an app is like -- before downloading it. Furthermore, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.androidpit.de/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;German branch&lt;/a&gt; even has an &lt;em&gt;App Reviews&lt;/em&gt; section in their forum, including overviews for apps on a kind of &quot;per-category&quot; base -- which makes it easier to find a suiting app, as similar apps are grouped together.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So if you like that idea, but do not want another &quot;source of apps&quot; (it's a good idea to stick to one market platform, especially for paid apps -- so you don't lose track which app you installed from what source, and get into trouble on a re-install for a new (or factory-reset) device), you can still go there for information.&lt;/s&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE:&lt;/strong&gt; AndroidPIT has &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.androidpit.com/site-announcement-androidpit-app-center-closing&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;closed its independent app market on 2014-12-31&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="16575" LastEditDate="2016-10-26T14:36:29.313" LastActivityDate="2016-10-26T14:36:29.313" CommentCount="0" CommunityOwnedDate="2012-11-12T13:54:54.860" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Recently I partitioned my SD card using ROMManager in to three partitions (swap, ext and usb storage). I checked with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Mini Partition Tool&lt;/a&gt; and understood that the sd-ext type is ext3. Link2SD created mount script and linked apps perfectly, releasing loads of space in memory.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To try an unofficial CM10 ROM, I backed up using ROMManager (NAndroid) and installed the unofficial CM10 ROM.  While using CM10, I wiped sd-ext partition and linked few apps with belief that backup is done. Since I was unhappy with the CM10 ROM I decided to restore the backup and while doing so only I observed that my sd-ext partition contents were not backed up. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thinking that I might not have backed up properly, I tried again to back up in restored backup of stock 2.3.3 and observed a message:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;&quot;Could not mount sd-ext. sd-ext backup may not be supported on this device. Skipping backup of sd-ext&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Had if I had noticed this message, I would not have installed the CM10 ROM at all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Question:&lt;/strong&gt; How can I make ROMManager to backup sd-ext partitions as well? I guess just because it was unable to mount, it just skipped sd-ext backup. When Link2SD was able to mount, what is stopping ROMManager to mount it and how can I fix it?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Info: &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I tried this with ClockworkMod Recovery version 5.0.2.7 and ROMManager version is 5.0.2.1&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I have seen the question &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/27797/ext4-partition-clockworkmod-recovery-backup&quot;&gt;Ext4 partition clockworkmod recovery backup&lt;/a&gt;&quot; and this question differs because the partition used is ext3 and was created by ROMMananger itself.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have seen this &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.modaco.com/topic/347926-clockworkmod-recovery-could-not-mount-sd-ext-sd-ext-backup-may-not-be-supported-on-this-device/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;modaco forum thread&lt;/a&gt; and it just only helped me to come to a assumption that my present recovery version 5.0.2.7 does not support it.

Most of them only backup your &lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; files -- but some also offer several sets of data. On of those is &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;AirDroid&lt;/a&gt; (offers e.g. to backup your apps), then there's &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webkey&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Webkey&lt;/a&gt; (which requires root, but then e.g. offers to backup your contacts and call logs).

Running one of those on your device, you can connect remotely via SSH, and directly execute commands from the command line (of course you need to find out which ones are suitable to you -- which very much depends on what you want to back up). Again, root on the device will prove very useful here.

Many manufacturers' UI overlays provide ways to remove running apps from quick-access lists, like the one you get with a long press on the home key, but doing that usually doesn't actually close the app. Android, by default, keeps apps running in &quot;background&quot; mode after you back out of them, because they're faster to switch to if they're already in RAM than if you start them &quot;cold&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, unless you're &quot;force-closing&quot; apps using the Settings view or a &quot;task killer&quot; app, any app you had been running but &quot;cleared out&quot; is still running in &quot;background mode&quot;. Most apps do very little in background mode, to economize on CPU and thus battery use, but some will maintain things like GPS access. Any social app that allows you to &quot;check in&quot; somewhere, like Facebook, Foursquare, &quot;footprint&quot; apps, etc is likely to do this, so that you can quickly mark your current location without waiting for the GPS to reacquire satellites and get your location.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you are force-closing or task-killing apps you think are using GPS, and you're still seeing the GPS icon, it could be one of two things; first, the force-close action is not a &quot;clean&quot; way to shut down applications, and many will not expect to be force-closed, so if you force-close an app that was using GPS it may not clean up things like its connections to phone features such as GPS. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, there are some services built into Android, like the E911 service, that use GPS if it's available and that cannot be shut down. So, if you start up GPS for something else, one of those services may ask the OS to keep the acquired signals from the GPS satellites so they can maintain your location &lt;em&gt;just in case&lt;/em&gt; you have to call 911, until you manually turn off GPS altogether (at which time the services fall back to less granular location methods, like triangulating from nearby cell towers or known Wi-Fi hotspots).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT:&lt;/strong&gt; To answer the actual question asked (novel concept, I know), I can't find any apps that will show GPS usage that are available on Google Play and do not require a rooted phone (and/or custom ROM i.e. CyanogenMod etc). The one I did find, &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droidgram.sparepartspro&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Spare Parts Plus PRO&lt;/a&gt;, is purported to do so in a roundabout way, by showing battery usage of installed apps with permission to use GPS, but other than one user testimonial &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/8900/whats-using-my-gps&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; (over a year old) I can't find any evidence it actually does this anymore (the free version does not and none of the documentation specifically says it will), and I'm not gonna spend money to find out just to give you an answer here. Sorry. If you want to try, it's only $1.75; do let the rest of us know.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The only thing I can suggest is to look for an app manager that will list running programs based on the permissions they require. There are several that list apps by permission; aSpotCat, PermissionDog, App Permission Watcher, etc. however I'm not sure which of them will also allow filtering by current running status (PermissionDog pops up a notice when an app starts, showing what it can do). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you find one, the usage is simple; if it's running, and it needs the GPS, it's a suspect to be the app actually using GPS right now.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lastly, from a technical standpoint, it's the Android OS actually &quot;using&quot; the phone's GPS. Most apps, especially ones that don't require rooting, cannot directly control any feature of your phone; they instead ask the Android OS to get or set information regarding those features, using the &quot;service managers&quot; that Android exposes in its API. An app that needs your location will simply ask the Android LocationManager service for your current location, optionally requesting &quot;coarse&quot; or &quot;fine&quot; granularity, and Android will then use whatever location services you have told it that it can use (GPS, cell towers, Wi-Fi hotspot location) to find out, returning the location and the method used (or telling the app that the requested level of granularity couldn't be used because you turned it off). Android does not, AFAIK, keep tabs on which apps have made recent requests through the API for its location services (much less which of those requests required the service to spend significant resources to find out); it only knows which apps have permission to do so, and as long as at least one of them is running and has made a request, Android keeps GPS active.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The upshot is that pretty much the best you can do is cross-check running apps with apps that &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; use GPS, to find out which apps &lt;em&gt;may&lt;/em&gt; be using GPS right now. If there's only one running that has the required permission, it's pretty easy to narrow it down. If there are a dozen apps or services with that permission currently &quot;running&quot; (RAM-resident), it's a bit harder (especially because, as I said, some of these may be basic services of the phone that can cause it to crash if you try to force close them).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="23559" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:25.930" LastActivityDate="2012-11-16T18:59:40.773" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I have verified this using Chromium's developer toolbox. This has the effect that badly designed websites don't show up for ages due to the browser waiting to download scripts (or time out) before rendering the full page.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Downloading large files, I can average &gt;100KiB/s, so that is not the issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I connect through WiFi tethering, then both the PC and my Asus Transformer tablet have the same issue, so it would appear to be an issue with the phone. Also, browsing on the phone is as I would expect, quite reasonable given that I don't have full signal, but not unusable as the tethered devices are.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have also tried running a proxy on the phone to see if it was Three slowing me down (some of them apparently use the TTL count to see if you're tethering), but no luck.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This only started recently, and I didn't change anything on my phone at the time, though I have since gone from CM9 to CM10 to see if that would help.

If that fails, try to manually add the SSID and key after you remove the network from the phone settings. Worst case ask them to send you a new gateway.

If I have it turned down so the ringing noise isn't overpowering, I can't hear people on the line after they pick up--and don't want to have to turn the volume up and down every time I place a call.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;(I did consider using Tasker to change the Phone Call volume when ringing and when the other person picks up, but I didn't see the right states/events to be able to do that).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there a way to change what ringtone is used, so I could just pick a quieter tone?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="11789" LastActivityDate="2015-12-30T15:45:26.087" Title="How can I change the ringing noise when I place a call?"

As the battery will self-discharge over time, its voltage will gradually lower, and when it is depleted below the low-voltage threshold (2.4 to 2.9 V/cell, depending on chemistry) it cannot be charged anymore because the protection circuit (a type of electronic fuse) disables it.

The battery life of a LiON battery is dependant mostly on temperature, discharge rate, and age.

Periodically, the battery needs to be calibrated to &quot;relearn&quot; its usable capacity so it can synchronize its charge status with the Power Meter. ... The user simply has to periodically discharge the battery until the 5% capacity alarm is received. The need to perform this procedure will vary with individual use. &lt;strong&gt;In general, a Li-Ion battery should be calibrated a minimum of once every 3 months&lt;/strong&gt;. A battery that is seldom discharged completely should be calibrated about once a month.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;and the following is from &lt;a href=&quot;http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/battery_calibration&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Battery University&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;How often does a battery need calibrating?

If the portable device applies a periodic deep discharge on its own, no additional calibration will be needed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The need for calibration comes from the mismatch between the battery's chemistry and the microchip that estimates the battery's state of charge. This mismatch develops over numerous partial discharge, although unlike the memory effect in NiCad battery, it does not affect the battery's actual chemical capacity and is reversible by letting the battery relearn its bottom and top charge state.

It depends on your particular device however.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit:&lt;/strong&gt; It seems we're still talking at cross purposes.

I know one of the ways this has been done before is via flashing the package via ClockworkMOD and then using &lt;code&gt;dd&lt;/code&gt; to dump the partition(s) to a file.

As it backs up to XML, you could backup on your old device, transfer the backup XML file to the new device, and restore it there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/ruN20.png&quot; alt=&quot;SMS Backup &amp;amp; Restore Main Screen&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/XrCHQ.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;SMS Backup &amp;amp; Restore Settings&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As the screenshots show, this should be easy to do: From the settings, you define where to store your backups on the sd card, so you know where to find them. After having done the backup on your old device, connect it to your PC and copy that folder to your PC. Then connect the new device, copy the folder to it, disconnect the device, and run the app to restore the backup. Et voila: your messages are transfered.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Side effect: Keep the app, and have it creating backups from time to time. So in case you need to factory reset your device one day, that's one piece of data you already took care for not to lose ;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note: That's just one of the many possibilities. Depending on the OS running on your PC, it probably could be done with &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fjsoft.myphoneexplorer.client&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;MyPhoneExplorer&lt;/a&gt; as well (so you have some more features) when running Windows. But there are also a lot more suitable apps on the playstore -- simply search it for &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/search?q=sms+backup&amp;amp;c=apps&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;sms backup&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the &quot;old phone&quot; is not running Android, it gets a bit more difficult -- but not impossible, it seems. The playstore also lists some migration tools like e.g. the &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spb.migration&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;SPB Migration Tool&lt;/a&gt;, which promises:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;SPB Migration Tool provides phone data migration to Android from Windows Mobile and Symbian platforms and comes with a complete solution, which allows copying the call history, text messages, contacts and bookmarks.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With ~7 EUR it's quite a bit expensive compared to others. If you only care about your SMS, &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.baole.app.mainimporter&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;SMS Migrator&lt;/a&gt; might offer an alternative: about 2,50 EUR, but ratings look a bit mixed.

All it says is: The overall battery consumption after ~14.5 hours is shared 50:50 by &quot;Phone Idle&quot; and &quot;Cell Standby&quot;. Let's assume the battery level at that point is 80%, then each app had consumed about 10% of a full charge -- which could count as &quot;normal&quot;. If on the other hand the battery level was 20% (or even less), it would be a bad sign -- pointing a.o. to bad reception (see: &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/29447/&quot;&gt;What is &lt;em&gt;Cell standby&lt;/em&gt; and how can I keep it from eating my battery?&lt;/a&gt;) for the &quot;Cell Standby&quot; part.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I wrote we already have a lot of good answers on the &quot;battery life&quot; topic.

With that app, watch out especially for the &quot;Wake Locks&quot;, as those keep your device from entering energy-saving modes. Check the configuration of the apps mentioned in connection with this (a good example could be an email app with a too-high polling frequency, where you e.g. could reduce the frequency from &quot;every 5 minutes&quot; to &quot;every 30 minutes&quot; to save a lot of juice).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT:&lt;/strong&gt; Another helpful app I just discovered is &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.bstats&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Battery Stats Plus&lt;/a&gt;, which helps you find the &quot;evil apps&quot; on your device.

I am not sure if the Gallery app on my phone is specific to the Motoblur UI.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I was testing the &lt;code&gt;.nomedia&lt;/code&gt; trick/hack, by putting a zero-length file named &lt;code&gt;.nomedia&lt;/code&gt; in my Downloads directory. I also cleared cache and deleted app data of the stock/standard Gallery app. it didn't appear to work, so I decided to say &quot;screw it&quot; and deleted the &lt;code&gt;.nomedia&lt;/code&gt; file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sadly this kind of ruined things. I reopened the gallery app started showing duplicates of most (but not all) of the images. If I clicked on one, it'd only load the thumbnail with just &quot;loading...&quot; ontop, like it was trying to generate the full sized image. If I long-pressed and clicked &quot;photo info&quot; gallery would crash. If I hit delete, it would delete the entry from the gallery view with no problem. The other one of the duplicates appeared to be the real image so it loaded no problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, I could've manually deleted all the extra erroneous thumbnails, but that would be too time consuming as I had over 600-some correct images. So I decided to try a shortcut. I went to &lt;code&gt;/dcim/.thumbnails&lt;/code&gt; and cleared the directory and I also went to &lt;code&gt;/android/data/com.moto.blur.mediaprovider&lt;/code&gt; and cleared the thumbnails stored in that directory. When I went back to the gallery the situation got even worse. Now there's like 3 copies of the images. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My prediction is that it's generating thumbnails, then generating thumbnails of those thumbnails. I tried clear the &lt;code&gt;.thumbnails&lt;/code&gt; directory, which had over 2000 images in there. As soon as I restarted the gallery app, it'd fill right back up again. I tried the same process and rebooting, but again, starting the gallery app causes it loop with the thumbnail generation.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I tried putting a zero-length file &lt;code&gt;.nomedia&lt;/code&gt; into the .thumbnails directory but that didn't seem to be doing anything.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there something that I'm missing?

They published in Google Play its own app dTest some time ago. But it worked only on phones, not on tablets. Because I don't want to have this app on my phone, but on my tablet, I put this app in my Wish list and shared it to Changelog Droid's Observed apps. After some time Changelog Droid informed me about new dTest version with tablet support so I was able to install it on my Nexus 7 the first day when this new version for tablets appeared in Google Play :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="24072" LastActivityDate="2012-11-26T13:30:35.527" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is no longer locally available on your device. So the device can no longer access any data stored on the card. Which is one of the reasons you shouldn't install apps there which run services or provide widgets: The services would crash, the widgets become unavailable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second: For security reasons, sd cards are mounted with the &lt;code&gt;noexec&lt;/code&gt; flag, e.g. to prevent malicious software (which could have been copid to an external medium like a sd card) from being run. So it wouldn't do any good to move the system there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You see, there are good reasons why it is designed as it is. For more than 95% of all users that's the best solution. The percentage of people really needing a thing like what you're asking for is IMHO much below 1%. And the solution obviously requires root, as you need to change the way the system works. And it is nothing you do with just a click. A bit too lenghty to be explained here -- but I don't think you would really want to do that.

It doesn't respond to the unlock very quickly, and it often gets stuck in a screen orientation.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The RMA apparently didn't do anything, although they didn't charge me for anything, so they must have found something.

Some security blogs inform about found issues as well -- and if some well-known app is affected by such a security hole (as e.g. mentioned email app, or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pcworld.com/article/225382/Skype_for_Android_Security_Flaw_Wha__You_Need_to_Know.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Skype&lt;/a&gt;), all the blogs in the world will spread word.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;How to check it on your own&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Knowing the structures how data are saved, you could investigate yourself (if your device is rooted, that is).

By default, that directory is accessible by the app alone (and, of course, by root) -- which is why it requires root privileges to dig deeper. The basic structure below is as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;/data/data/com.example.demoapp&#xA;├── cache                Directory&#xA;│   └── webviewCache     Directory&#xA;│       ├── 027e59a0     Cache file&#xA;│       └── 057606c4     Cache file&#xA;├── databases            Directory&#xA;│   └── example.db       SQLite database&#xA;├── lib                  Directory&#xA;└── shared_prefs         Directory&#xA;    └── example.xml      Config file&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Obviously, there are two major places to check:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the &lt;code&gt;shared_prefs&lt;/code&gt; directory, containing XML files.

Another reason is that Google want people to move away from internal storage &amp;amp; use Cloud storage more and more (and integrate with its other &quot;services&quot; eg Google Music) - a clever ploy on Google's part&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This put me off from buying the device until a few weeks ago when I heard about USB OTG (On The Go) Cables, which are essentially USB Cables having a micro usb connector at one end which fits into the Nexus 4 and a USB connector at othe other (which opens up a whole world of opportunities - more so for tablets rather than smartphones I think).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This being the case I thought joy, storage is no longer a &quot;problem&quot;.

There is NO reason why &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;/mnt/sdcard&lt;/code&gt; had to be merged into the same partition on newer version of Android except for manufacturer to differentiate phones with larger internal memory from lower cost units with less internal memory. Even if the merge had to be done, Google could have clearly defined a &lt;em&gt;STANDARD&lt;/em&gt; new mounting point for the external SD cards instead of leaving it completely vague. This is completely working against preventing further &quot;segmentation&quot; of the Android eco-system by a clumsy design to help vendor differentiation of higher end phones against lower cost units with less built-in memory.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Android app binaries are tiny, phones with 1-2 Gigs of internal memory should have way more than enough space for hundreds of apps, and all the large data could be safely tucked way on an external SD card. But then vendors realized they had to have a way to differentiate their higher end product, and claiming a higher internal memory become part of that scheme and crippling the usefulness of external memory is the other integrated part this scheme required for this to work fully hence the less helpful API to find external sd cards and the unstandardized mounting points.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So: No, mounting SD card at a place other than &lt;code&gt;/mnt/sdcard&lt;/code&gt; is nothing but a business strategy for selling higher priced new phones under newer version of Android, nothing more than that. Just imagine, if the Nexus 4 8GB and Nexus 16GB can both use 64GB of external sd card for application and media, is there a reason for anyone to buy the 16 GB version? That extra 8 GB of NAND memory is not surely not worth $50 price difference if external SD cards are involved.  Since most components in a smart phone pretty much has to be the same (RAM, processor, radios), the only area left for more profit margin is the internal memory space, and hence the weird external memry mounting point.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also has everyone also noticed the absence of external SD support from current crop of &quot;Google&quot; branded android devices? This trend will keep expanding in &quot;top tier&quot; Android devices. External SD card support was a key differentiation for Android devices to overtake iPhone's dominance in mobile market. Now with Android ruling supreme in the numbers game, there's little need for this profit sapping practice to be up kept for much longer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I won't be surprised by Android 5.0, the external SD card support would be a thing of the past. Because if it's hard to apps to find externals SD card, then most program will just simply use the known &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;/mnt/sdcard&lt;/code&gt; locations, with most apps use more and more stored data for its operation, a vibrant product mark up strategy is created out of &quot;thin air&quot; simply by not mount external SD card at &lt;code&gt;/mnt/sdcard&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="24324" LastEditorUserId="16575" LastEditDate="2012-12-02T02:16:09.867" LastActivityDate="2012-12-02T02:16:09.867" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Once you have done one of the two, you are going to want to click 'Unlock Bootloader,' then 'Get Started.' It will next ask you what device you are trying to unlock, click 'Droid Incredible 2 (Verizon)' then 'Begin Unlock Bootloader.' Then a pop up window will ask you if you are sure, just click 'Yes.' Then, another pop up window will appear, just tick the two boxes and press 'Proceed to Unlock Instructions.'&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Go to your phone. Take off the [back] battery door and remove the battery (don't hold the power button and make it a proper shut off, just rip the battery out. Then, put the battery back in. Once you have replaced the battery, hold the volume down button and the power button at the same time until a white screen shows up. You can use the volume rocker to highlight your selection, and the power button to select the highlighted selection. Right now, we want to highlight 'BOOTLOADER' and use the power button to select it. Next, grab your miniUSB cable and plug it into your computer to your phone.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next, make a folder on your computer in the C:\ Drive. In Windows Vista &amp;amp; 7, you can just go to Computer from the Start Menu and it will be labeled Local Disk (C:). You can name the folder whatever you want, I am just going to name it Android. Next, you are going to want to download my ADB, Fastboot, and ADBAPI .zip file and place all three files into the Android folder. After you unzip the ADB/Fastboot folder, you are going to want to (if you have not already) download and install the Android SDK manager. You will need to install SDK tools [and I believe a version of Android?] After you have installed everything, you can go to the Start Menu again and type in 'cmd' in the search bar and press enter. Then type in the following: (Or you could take the easy way of going to your C:\ drive and shift-clicking the folder and press 'Open Command Window Here…)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;cd C:\Android  &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;After you have got into Command Prompt and are in the \Android folder, type in the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;fastboot oem get_identifier_token  &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;You will then see a great big brick of random characters. Right click in the bottom right-hand corner of '&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt; Identifier Token End &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;' and click 'Mark...' Hold down the left-mouse-button and select the great brick of text up until '&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt;&amp;lt; Identifier Token Start &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;' (don't highlight any of the 'INFO' things.) Then, right-click again and you will have the identifier token copied to your clipboard. Back on the HTC Dev site, it will ask you for your identifier; just paste the identifier in the box and it will send you an email with a .bin file (Unlock_code.bin) and just throw that into the folder with ADB and Fastboot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;You are going to want to click the continue link that HTC Dev sent you as well to downloading the file. After you have finished downloading and put it in the folder, type in the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin  &#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Once you have done that and pressed Enter, your phone will change screens. It will ask you if you are SURE you want to do this. Just press the volume rocker up and press the power button. Your phone will reboot and take you back to Android. It's normal and it doesn't mean it failed... Your phone is fine and it should have went OK if you followed the steps. We are done with HTC Dev now, so you can close it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next thing we are going to want to do is flash ClockWorkMod (CWM) Recovery onto your phone. You are going to want to download the .iso for CWMR and flash it to your phone (&lt;a href=&quot;http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivow.img&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;download link&lt;/a&gt;). After you are done downloading the .iso, place it into your ADB and Fastboot folder. Once your phone has finished starting up, take the battery out again and put it back into HBOOT mode (step 2.) You are going to want to go back into FASTBOOT (step 2, again) and flash the recovery by doing the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;fastboot flash recovery recovery(press TAB)&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Once you press enter and fastboot says it has completed, it will just have the Fastboot screen. Just highlight 'Bootloader' and press the power button. Next, to make sure it worked… Scroll down to 'Recovery' (which is right under Fastboot) and select it. The HTC screen should show and then CWMR should come to life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;This is where the real magic happens. We are going to install SuperUser on to your phone now. Reboot your phone into regular Android. Now, you can plug it into the computer and make it a disk drive or pop out the miniSD card and put it into a converter. Now, you are going to want to download &lt;a href=&quot;http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;SuperUser&lt;/a&gt; and put it onto the miniSD (I recommend not putting it in any folders so it is easy to find.) Now, put your phone back into CWMR (step 6.) Now, use the volume rocker to scroll down to 'install .zip from sd card' and press the power button. Now, find the SuperUser.zip (or whatever it is named) and press the power button. The 'yes' to install it is in the middle of all the 'no' options, use the volume rocker to select 'yes' and press the power button. Wait for CWMR to finish, and in the meantime... Just stare at your phone. After you have finished installing SuperUser, restart your handset into Android. Once it has finished restarting, go into the app drawer and find the SuperUser app. Press the 'menu' button and tap 'Settings.' Scroll down to 'Su Binary x.x.xx' and tap it. On the bottom it will say 'Update Binary,' just tap that and it will do its 'magic.' Once SU has finished updating Binary, you have a rooted DINC2.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="12332" LastEditorUserId="52103" LastEditDate="2015-04-05T14:25:44.917" LastActivityDate="2015-04-05T14:25:44.917" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Save it on your computer’s desktop.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Download Odin3 3.o4 for Galaxy S3 I9300 from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mediafire.com/?189h7dqldccnrq8&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Extract Odin.zip contents into a single folder and save it on your PC desktop.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Now, power OFF your Galaxy S3 phone and after this you will need to boot into download mode.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Boot into download mode by pressing ‘volume down’ + ‘home’ + ‘Power’ and release these buttons only after the display powers ON.&#xA;  Press Volume Up button to confirm that you want to load download mode.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Now, go to your PC and launch the ‘Odin’ executable file. The one you’ve extracted at step 4.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Next, connect your SGS3 I9300 to your computer and ODIN should display a message box saying ‘added!!’. If you don’t see this message&#xA;  then it means that the USB drivers aren’t installed on your PC and you&#xA;  should use the download links in the preparation guide, the ones&#xA;  listed above this tutorial guide. If Odin did find the Samsung USB&#xA;  Driver you’re free to move to the next step.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;In Odin click the button that is called ‘PDA’.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Find the file you’ve extracted at step 2. It should have the ‘.tar.md5′ extension. Select it and it will be loaded into Odin. NOTE:&#xA;  Don’t change any of the Odin’s default settings and make sure that the&#xA;  ‘re-partition’ option isn’t selected.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;Press the START button in ODIN and the program will now begin to install the stock firmware files. When the installation is complete&#xA;  you will see a ‘PASS’ alert displayed by Odin and this means that&#xA;  everything went according to plan. Your phone will also restart and&#xA;  after the Samsung Logo appears you are free to unplug the device from&#xA;  your computer. NOTE: If Odin gets stuck you are required to disconnect&#xA;  the phone from your PC and remove its battery and then re-insert it&#xA;  and, now repeat all the entire tutorial once again as something went&#xA;  wrong and the firmware wasn’t flashed.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;That should do it, now your phone has been restored to factory stock firmware.

To make that easier to understand, I will abstract (and simplify) this a bit:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are multiple &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;partitions&lt;/a&gt; created on the storage of the device. A few examples include:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt;, which normally is &amp;quot;read-only&amp;quot;. Here the Android System incl. its pre-installed apps reside&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;, which is &amp;quot;read/write&amp;quot;. Here go all the user's data, incl. the apps (s)he installs&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are some more partitions, which I will ignore for this example. With a new device, &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt; contains the Android system plus pre-installed apps, as stated above -- while &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; is empty. That's the &amp;quot;factory state&amp;quot;, we could say. Now you switch your device on, and go through the wizard: creating/configuring your account etc. These data are stored in &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;. So will the apps you download from the playstore, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A &lt;em&gt;factory reset&lt;/em&gt; now will return your device to &amp;quot;factory state&amp;quot;: it will wipe all data it can.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;As &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; is read/write, it will get wiped.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt; is read-only, so it won't get wiped. This includes the pre-installed apps.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Your Google Account data have been stored in &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;, so they will get wiped&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Apps you have installed from the playstore were stored in &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;, including their settings and data -- so they will be gone as well.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;The Google Account linked&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you can see from above description, a factory-reset will &amp;quot;unlink&amp;quot; the connected Google Account. In my eyes, that's like I want to delete a file: sure, when I format the entire disk the file is gone... So there must be other ways which keep your data intact.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At least in earlier versions of Android, there was a different approach (not sure if that still works, though). As a factory-reset as the &amp;quot;last ressort&amp;quot; would either delete all your personal data, it does no harm to try the following in advance: If it still works, great -- if it doesn't, you still can do the reset:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;from your homescreen, open &lt;em&gt;Settings → Apps → Manage Apps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;one after the other, open all &lt;em&gt;Google&lt;/em&gt; apps you can find (GMail, Playstore, GTalk, Google storage...) and press the &amp;quot;Delete Cache&amp;quot; plus &amp;quot;Delete Data&amp;quot; buttons. If they are greyed out, you might need to &amp;quot;force stop&amp;quot; the app first (there's another button for that)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;reboot your device&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If this trick still works, your account should be gone by now; maybe even the wizard will pop-up again automatically.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Side effects&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One thing to keep in mind when changing the linked Google Account are your payed apps. They are bound to the account you've bought them with -- so they might stop working when that account is no longer there, and most will do so. If you no longer want to use your old account, you need to buy them again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2012-12-01T20:37:26.960" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

USB 1.0 and 2.0 is capable of delivering 0.5A at 5V and USB 3.0 is capable of 0.9A at 5V.  Not all chargers adhere to those specs, but most phone chargers deliver a charge somewhere in that range.  I have had several HTC, Samsung, Motorola and some off-brand phone chargers and they all are 5V and put out between 750mA and 1A.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, your cell phone has a charging control circuit and voltage protection circuit that protects the device from power outside its acceptable spec.  I believe it also monitors temperature and will terminate charging if it falls outside of an acceptable spec, but I'm not sure about that.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some tablets like the Nexus 7 come with chargers that put out 2.1A at 5V.  Using this charger will charge your phone faster but it will also cause the battery to heat up more.  Excess heat can degrade the life of a battery so I wouldn't make a habit of using a tablet charger on your phone.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="137" LastEditorUserId="11209" LastEditDate="2012-12-02T20:05:39.730" LastActivityDate="2012-12-02T20:05:39.730" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you search the playstore for &quot;backup&quot;, it will give you a lot of apps for that. One of the best non-root backup solutions for this probably is &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupPro&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;MyBackup Pro&lt;/a&gt;, which covers most of it -- though there are a lot of apps offering to backup/restore parts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Most other app's data cannot be backed-up, however. Some of them provide possibilities to export their settings (and import them at a later point), others have dedicated backup apps (I remember e.g. something like that for &lt;em&gt;Angry Birds&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For contacts and calendar, there's also the possibility to sync them with your Google account. I would not, however, rely on the &quot;Google backup&quot; for other things, as it is often reported to unsuccessfully restore. For that case, there are extra measures one can take. The easiest would be to logon to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.appbrain.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;AppBrain&lt;/a&gt; with your Google credentials, and sync your installed apps. Appbrain then allows you to save that as a list with their service: you can then use this list to restore all apps you put into it -- or you could even send it to a different device (even a different user's device) for a &quot;mass install&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In case you had some apps installed which are no longer available on the playstore, you could also take a look at &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.android_telefonie.appmanager&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;AppMonster&lt;/a&gt;: in its payed (pro) version, it also allows batch-install. Plus, it captures each app you install/update and saves a copy -- which can be useful in the future as well: if some update breaks a functionality, you can ask &lt;em&gt;AppMonster&lt;/em&gt; to simply restore a previous (captured) version.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And though this &lt;em&gt;currently&lt;/em&gt; does not affect you (as your Android version is lower than 4.0), just to mention for other users (and your possible future device): starting with Android 4.0, there is the possibility for a &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/28296/full-backup-of-non-rooted-devices&quot;&gt;Full Backup of non-rooted devices&lt;/a&gt; (rooted users always have this possibility with &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Titanium Backup ★ root&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Data stored on your sd card should not be affected by the factory-reset.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:23.713" LastActivityDate="2012-12-03T21:24:53.297" CommentCount="6" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You can then add a PIN to the Play Store so that they can't buy anything with your details and also choose the maturity rating of the content they see, this won't affect the settings of the main account's Play Store on the device despite the fact you're using the same Google account on the store.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From this your kids can access all your already paid for applications but thanks to the PIN won't be spending any of your money, at least not without your knowledge, and you haven't had to sign them up for a Google account. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Any apps that they download also aren't automatically put into your main accounts app list so you don't have to worry about them downloading a load of games and it filling your home screen a la iPad/iPhone style.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The downside to this approach is that your kids will be able to read your GMail, see your calender and contacts etc. A good solution to this is an app locker which restricts them from using these applications.

The phone was advertised as having 1GB internal Memory and also came with a 4GB Micro SD.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've used the phone for about a week now and noticed something which I believe is drastically wrong with the Memory Scheme. As I've downloaded apps, they seem to not be using the internal memory properly. On the Applications Manage screen, the apps take up &quot;System Memory&quot;, which is about 190MB maximum. As you can imagine, this space is used up rather fast after only a few apps installed. So I tried to see if I could move apps to the SD Card, but there's the hitch. The option didn't refer to an SD card at all, but was a greyed-out &quot;Move to Internal Memory&quot;. A few of the apps had this option, and when I selected it they began to take up the 1GB Internal Memory, which was not used at all before. The option for memory management then read &quot;Move to Phone&quot;. Also, I noticed that as I installed more apps RAM was being used even before the Apps started running.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My theory is that the phone was poorly configured. A section of RAM is being treated as the Internal Storage or Flash Memory or whatever you call it, which was labelled &quot;System Memory&quot;. The actual, 1GB Internal memory is being treated as external storage much as an SD card would, which leaves the real SD card out in the cold. My best evidence for this is that I removed the SD card and the apps I moved to the other memory still functioned.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have two questions:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Am I correct in assuming this, or do I not grasp Android memory properly and your knowledgeable minds can enlighten me?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If I am correct, is there any way I can fix this manually, as LG and StraightTalk seem to be of no help on the issue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="24541" LastActivityDate="2013-01-08T10:57:24.337" Title="Help with LG Optimus Logic Memory" Tags="&lt;2.3-gingerbread&gt;&lt;settings&gt;&lt;internal-storage&gt;" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Sometimes, I'd like to use my tablet as a media player using the HDMI monitor.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can connect the tablet to the monitor without any problem, but of course it's a monitor - like many monitors, it doesn't have speakers. That's fine - the tablet also has a headphone jack socket. I thought I'd do exactly what I do for my PC - connect the tablet to the speakers separately.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, this doesn't work. The headphone socket works fine, but not when the mini-HDMI cable is connected. As soon as I have a HDMI monitor connected, the headphone output is switched off - I checked with two sets of headphones as well as speakers to make sure this wasn't a dodgy cable issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Giving priority to HDMI seems very odd to me. First, monitors with HDMI but no speakers are quite common. Second, even if I was using a TV with speakers, the obvious reason for having headphones plugged in is because I want to use those for the sound, not the TV speakers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So... Is this a general thing with Android tablets? Is there a setting I can change to control it? Or is there any other way to get the headphone audio output to work while a HDMI monitor is connected?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've seen &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/8823/does-a-hdmi-splitter-exist-that-will-split-hdmi-into-video-and-audio&quot;&gt;this question about splitters&lt;/a&gt;, but the price is out of proportion plus the convenience isn't there. Part of the point is to reduce hardware clutter, tangled cables etc. I already have a media player that works with separate HDMI and audio just fine, but it never gets used because it gets put away to avoid the clutter and tangle, then it's just not worth the hassle to set it up again later.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And it just seems so stupid anyway that the headphone socket is there and works, but it switches off when I most want to use it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="24542" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:32.663" LastActivityDate="2020-09-28T06:58:50.010" Title="Is there a way to enable the headphone output for audio while using HDMI for video?"

When the developer publishes an app there is a manifest.xml file that describes the required capabilities.  These can be both hardware and firmware related.  e.g. you need a minimum Android version or you need a specific hardware feature like GPS.  Google Play then automatically filters which apps you can see and install based on these requirements.  The developer can also impose geographic requirements and potentially carrier requirements as well as disallowing specific devices if they want to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In your case the obvious thing to do is to first check if the developer has a website with any more information.  If that's of no help try emailing them  the filtering can be tricky and catches developers out.  If the developer is at all responsive they should come back to you.  It is in their interest to have the app work on as many devices as possible normally, so if there is no good reason for it to be incompatible with your device they should appreciate the opportunity to work out the issue.

Browsers are notorious for having bugs that allow the computer to be infected with a virus simply by viewing a page. In fact, one method to jailbreak an early Apple iOS device was to simply browse to a page that delivered a payload via a bug in pdf (&lt;a href=&quot;https://threatpost.com/two-unpatched-flaws-show-apple-ios-080410/74296&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;source&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Android mitigates this by having apps run in their own &lt;a href=&quot;http://source.android.com/tech/security/#the-application-sandbox&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sandbox&lt;/a&gt;. Thus, an app that is compromised can only (theoretically) compromise its sandbox, which includes any permissions it originally was granted. If compromised, it couldn't send an SMS unless it had that permission originally, nor could it modify other programs' data. But even sandboxing is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.extremetech.com/computing/139918-adobe-reader-zero-day-exploit-shows-us-why-sandboxes-arent-a-magic-bullet&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;not&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9208279/Google_fixes_9_bugs_in_Chrome_including_sandbox_escape_flaw&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;foolproof&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your phone is plugged in to a computer, it can be 'hacked'. This is proven by most rooting methods that use a bug to get root. Programmers could just as easily create a virus for computers that detects Android phones and installs a malicious app silently, or even roots them and takes over the phone completely.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLeBQeBJ-5k&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;This talk&lt;/a&gt; has some great details on app permissions.

In your described case, those settings define the screen to switch off after 30s of idle time (i.e. no touch event), plus activate the Keyguard action (i.e. the lock pattern, PIN, or password) after additional 5 seconds (so if you switch the screen back on within less than 5s after it switched off automatically, you do not have to unlock the device as it would not yet be locked).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now why does the screen stay on for 20 minutes or more, though configured to switch off after 30s of idle time? The solution is not always that obvious. Apps with the appropriate permissions might override those default settings. A good example is a navigation app: One surely doesn't want to permanently touch the screen to keep it from switching off while navigating. Another example might be an ebook reader prolonging the timeout.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While a reboot might solve that issue once it happens (in case a quick-fix is needed), in the long run it will prove better to check running apps for candidates overriding the mentioned default settings.

In general, there are three relevant access modes for a file:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The owner: This is the specific &lt;strong&gt;user&lt;/strong&gt; that owns a file/folder. Generally it defaults to whatever user created it. Note that even on Android, which generally presents a single-user interface (excepting v4.2) there are still multiple user accounts on the device. For example, each application runs under its own user ID.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;The group: This is the Unix group that is marked as the owner of the file. The user that owns the file may or may not be a member of this group. In cases where the owner is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; in the group the owner permissions will take precedence.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Other: Everyone else who is not either a) the owner of the file or b) in the group that owns the file.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Because of this, simplified Unix filesystem permissions are generally expressed as triplets (I'm ignoring here other flags such as the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;setuid bit&lt;/a&gt;) in order of precedence: user/group/other. Often these will be numerical since Unix uses bitmasks under the hood, where:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Execute has a value of 1&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Write has a value of 2&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Read has a value of 4&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Permissions are thus combined by adding the bitmask values together - to give read and write (but not execute) permission to the desired target, for example, you would want the value to be &lt;strong&gt;6&lt;/strong&gt;. Putting this together, a file with a permission of 755 would be:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;7 -&amp;gt; Owner can read, write or execute&#xA;5 -&amp;gt; Group members can read or execute&#xA;5 -&amp;gt; Everyone else (other) can read or execute&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Putting this all together in the context of your question implies (to me) that the instructions are thus telling you to give the &lt;strong&gt;owner&lt;/strong&gt; of the .db file read/write permission, the &lt;strong&gt;group&lt;/strong&gt; read/write permission and &lt;strong&gt;other&lt;/strong&gt; no permissions at all. I observe this by splitting up the instructions at the slash delimiter in the text. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This would be equivalent to setting the filemode to &lt;code&gt;660&lt;/code&gt; using the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;code&gt;chmod&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/a&gt; command (likely you would want &lt;code&gt;chmod 0660 /path/to/file.db&lt;/code&gt;), but can also be done using any file explorer that supports it. My personal favorite is &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;ES File Explorer&lt;/a&gt;, which will give you a grid of checkboxes if you long press on a file and select &quot;Properties&quot;.

However, they are not necessarily hard requirements.

There was an extensive discussion about wakelocks (with Gregh Kroah Hartman - the Linux guru for drivers development - am googling for the exact linky), other sites such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://lwn.net/Articles/479841/&quot;&gt;LWN.net&lt;/a&gt; and another article explained on the same site &lt;a href=&quot;http://lwn.net/Articles/416690/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.

With Gingerbread (Android 2.3) and above, you've got a service aboard helping you to figure out: battery statistics. Though manufacturers tend to place it at different points, it's mostly found in &lt;em&gt;Settings &amp;rarr; About the phone &amp;rarr; Battery&lt;/em&gt; or similar, and shows a list of the apps having used most of your battery. On top of that is a small graph. Tap that, and it brings you to a screen similar to this one:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/Areu6.png&quot; alt=&quot;battery stats&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;Screenshot of battery statistics on Android 2.3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I chose a screenshot from one of my devices which illustrates the issue. Looking at the lower two blue bars (&quot;Aktiv&quot; = Device was kept awake (active), &quot;Bildschirm an&quot; = &quot;Screen on&quot;), the right-most blue bar on &quot;Aktiv&quot; indicates a WakeLock: Device was kept busy despite the fact the screen was turned off. So by this we can be pretty sure we've got a WakeLock -- but we cannot tell who caused it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your device does not offer this screen (or the bars at the bottom: I just discovered e.g. the &lt;em&gt;LG Optimus 4X&lt;/em&gt; running Android 4.0.3 has cut these bars off), you can find them e.g. using &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot; title=&quot;GSam Battery Monitor @ Google Playstore&quot;&gt;GSam Battery Monitor&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/OsfQ3.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;GSam Battery Monitor&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;Similar information from &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot; title=&quot;GSam Battery Monitor @ Google Playstore&quot;&gt;GSam Battery Monitor&lt;/a&gt; -- here the mentioned &quot;blue bars&quot; are yellow/orange&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What caused the WakeLock?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, this question cannot be answered using pre-installed apps (except for, maybe, some Custom ROMs). But there are tools available that can. The best known candidate for this is &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;BetterBatteryStats&lt;/a&gt;, and shows us the cause in its &lt;em&gt;partial wakelocks&lt;/em&gt; section:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/buI7o.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;BetterBatteryStats&quot;&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/VZh9R.png&quot; alt=&quot;BetterBatteryStats2&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;Screenshots from BetterBatteryStats&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the first example&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/OsfQ3.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; (taken from the app's playstore page), the event causing most of the WakeLocks was a desired one: We don't want the playback stopped while listening to music. So the second example&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/buI7o.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; (taken from a real case on one of my devices) might prove better: the topmost 3 events are caused by the very same app, which needed the WakeLock to keep the IMAP push service active.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For an alternative to &lt;em&gt;BetterBatteryStats&lt;/em&gt;, check out the &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot; title=&quot;Wakelock Detector @ Google Playstore&quot;&gt;Wakelock Detector&lt;/a&gt; app mentioned in &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/a/41061/16575&quot;&gt;UzumApps' answer&lt;/a&gt; -- which seems easier to handle especially for non-techies:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://lh5.ggpht.com/IsHwedgY8IwYneTJcxRCQ0cYOhHJUli1mfYXC9c9U8B-Bmh4-7BYuzCoRhckcbLrSfRz&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/iwMtm.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Wakelock Detector: App details&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://lh5.ggpht.com/Wl0WzPWKyGCZ_ukeCWdpNBU37iFShRIHKCWQphMXkkYhd-UbWAek1G_lJwxg4fagTA&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/rz19c.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Wakelock Detector: Select processes&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;Wakelock Detector -- Click image to enlarge.

So I went into the mail app, disabled &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push-IMAP&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;IMAP Push&lt;/a&gt; (see also: &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_email&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Push Email&lt;/a&gt;), and instead switched to a 30min poll interval. WakeLocks did not entirely disappear, but dropped markably -- battery life improved noticably.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then there's the case mentioned in the question itself: A bad behaving app not releasing its WakeLock. Confront the dev with your findings and ask for a fix. If he delivers: problem solved. If not: There's almost always an alternative app available.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What if it is the Android System itself?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yeah, sometimes it looks like just that: 98% or more consumed by some Android service. Oh, if it's 98%, in most cases the candidate is named &lt;em&gt;LocationManagerService&lt;/em&gt;. Bad guy spying at us? Not necessarily. In this special case, the listed &quot;bad guy&quot; is not even guilty -- at least not directly. Here it is another app requesting the current location too frequently. There's an excellent article on Setera.org about this: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.setera.org/2012/09/10/pinpointing-android-locationmanagerservice-battery-drain/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Pinpointing Android LocationManagerService battery drain&lt;/a&gt;. To give an abstract: It uses Android's &lt;code&gt;dumpsys&lt;/code&gt; feature (requires root!) to dump a system state, and lets you investigate the listeners established for the LocationManagerService. A closer look at their configuration shows which are constantly &quot;hammering&quot; it for location info (some do so permanently, i.e. without a break). As the app's ID is listed along, and at another place in the dump even together with the apps technical name, you can still identify it and take appropriate actions.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;And what about UFOs?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, there are such: Apps which registered a WakeLock -- and then exited without releasing it. What's left are *Unused F***ing Obsoletes* -- WakeLocks held for no use. So no way to simply bring the app to foreground and re-configure, or making it release its WakeLocks.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here the only solution known to me is a reboot -- and I would like to have a better solution. Of course, if you know the guilty app, the steps concerning it are the same as above: inform the dev, get a fix -- or replace the app. But about getting rid of the &lt;em&gt;current&lt;/em&gt; WakeLock? Maybe somebody else can provide a better alternative to the reboot?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Are there some recommended further readings?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sure.

The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Nexus+Teardown/7182/1&quot;&gt;iFixit teardown&lt;/a&gt; helpfully identifies all of the major components of the device and their function. In &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Nexus+Teardown/7182/1#s30576&quot;&gt;step 5&lt;/a&gt; they remove the wrapping from the battery to expose the NFC antenna underneath. Later, in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Nexus+Teardown/7182/2#s30574&quot;&gt;step 12&lt;/a&gt;, they identify the NFC controller on the main motherboard.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Putting the controller itself on the battery is perhaps &lt;em&gt;possible&lt;/em&gt;, but I'd imagine it is not really realistically feasible. For one, it would probably increase the fabrication costs of the batteries an unacceptable amount (the antenna, conversely, is likely not very pricey). It would also require the battery to have some non-standard and comparatively complex circuitry to transmit data from the controller to the motherboard, whereas the antenna is basically served by a simple conductive contact to pass the signal along.

I am an android developer so I am sorta familiar with &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/localization.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;localization&lt;/a&gt;. Basically apps have certain &lt;code&gt;locales&lt;/code&gt; which &quot;represents a language/country/variant combination. Locales are used to alter the presentation of information such as numbers or dates to suit the conventions in the region they describe&quot; (see &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Locale.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this on the Android development site&lt;/a&gt;). This caught my eye:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;An application's Java code refers to just two strings, text_a and text_b. This application includes a localized resource file (res/values-en/strings.xml) that defines text_a and text_b in English. This application also includes a default resource file (res/values/strings.xml) that includes a definition for text_a, but not for text_b:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;This application might compile without a problem. An IDE such as&#xA;  Eclipse will not highlight any errors if a resource is missing. When&#xA;  this application is launched on a device with locale set to English,&#xA;  the application might run without a problem, because&#xA;  res/values-en/strings.xml contains both of the needed text strings.&#xA;  However, the user will see an error message and a Force Close button&#xA;  when this application is launched on a device set to a language other&#xA;  than English. The application will not load.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Notice the part about how the application might compile without a problem but might also show an error message and Force Close if the device has a locale that is not supported by that app. I realize this is not what is happening to you but might relate to your problem because Google Play will see that your device might be set to a locale that the app in question does not support or have a specific set of resources for. Google Play might than hide that app from your device even though it could work fine due to the default resources the developer has presumable written, however Google Play may decide it does not want to risk an angry costumer over a Force Close issue so it might just hide it completely from you. Again, this is just an idea and I realise that you see a different message for incompatibility with your country.

The most likely candidates here are:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Application Cache&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Dalvik Cache&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you might have guessed already, different solutions are available for rooted devices -- but only few for non-rooted devices, which cannot directly access the &lt;em&gt;Dalvik Cache&lt;/em&gt;. So read on below examples until you hit something working for you, or continue to the very end for all options.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;rooted and non-rooted devices: remove obsolete apps&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Cause of a slow-down might be some app, hogging all resources. Those apps usually can be identified via the &quot;battery consumption&quot; page in &lt;em&gt;Settings.&lt;/em&gt; But even if you cannot find it there, it cannot hurt to remove apps you once installed but no longer need (see e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/a/52259/16575&quot;&gt;Alix' answer&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can also disable some system apps you don't need (keyword: &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/bloatware&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;bloatware&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;bloatware&lt;/a&gt;). To do so, go to &lt;em&gt;Settings &amp;rarr; Applications&lt;/em&gt;, select the &quot;All&quot; tab, and walk the list to find those apps. Tap their entry, and you should find a &quot;disable&quot; button. It might be grayed out: if so, you first have to &quot;force stop&quot; the app, and maybe to &quot;uninstall updates&quot;, before the &quot;disable&quot; button becomes accessible. Note however, that this possibility will not exist for all system apps. For rooted devices, there are several tools available allowing you to &quot;freeze&quot; or even remove system apps (be very careful with the latter); one famous example is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.appbrain.com/app/titanium-backup-%E2%98%85-root/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Titanium Backup&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;rooted and non-rooted devices: Clear the &lt;em&gt;Application Cache&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're lucky, it's simply that: the &lt;em&gt;Application Cache&lt;/em&gt; got filled/messed up. This can be easily resolved, even on non-rooted devices:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;With methods available by default on each Android system:&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;From your homescreen, go to &lt;em&gt;Settings &amp;rarr; Apps &amp;rarr; Manage Apps&lt;/em&gt;. Make sure to view &lt;em&gt;All Apps&lt;/em&gt;, not &lt;em&gt;Downloaded&lt;/em&gt; only&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Walk the list, open each app, and hit the &lt;em&gt;Clear Cache&lt;/em&gt; button&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Easier method using helper apps: There are several apps available on the Playstore which allow to clean all application's caches at once, so you don't have to walk a long list and do it manually. One example for such an app is &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.acc.free&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;1Tap Cleaner&lt;/a&gt;, which also can clean up several other histories like e.g. the browser history&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;rooted devices: Clear &lt;em&gt;Application Cache&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;and&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Dalvik Cache&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Even more likely for the described case is a messed-up &lt;em&gt;Dalvik Cache&lt;/em&gt; -- especially if you tested a lot of apps, permanently installing/uninstalling different ones. So a cleanup of the &lt;em&gt;Dalvik Cache&lt;/em&gt; most certainly will solve the situation. As a side effect, it will certainly speed-up things. No negative side-effects are to be expected.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Via Custom Recovery&lt;br&gt;&#xA;This is the most effective way and sure to really do the job. This example is based on the &lt;em&gt;ClockworkMod Recovery&lt;/em&gt;, which is most widely spread. It should be equivalent with &lt;em&gt;AmonRa Recovery&lt;/em&gt;.&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Boot into recovery mode (how to do this often depends on the device/ROM used. For &lt;em&gt;CyanogenMod&lt;/em&gt; users it's most easy: Long-Press the &lt;kbd&gt;power&lt;/kbd&gt; button, select &quot;Reboot&quot;, select &quot;Recovery&quot;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Using the &lt;kbd&gt;Volume&lt;/kbd&gt; controls, select &lt;em&gt;Wipe Cache&lt;/em&gt; and approve it using the &lt;kbd&gt;power&lt;/kbd&gt; button. On the next screen, approve the action the same way. This way you easily clear the &lt;em&gt;Application Cache&lt;/em&gt; as described above, all at once, without the need of an extra app.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Go to the &lt;em&gt;Advanced&lt;/em&gt; menu, select to &lt;em&gt;Clear Dalvik Cache&lt;/em&gt; the same way with the &lt;kbd&gt;Volume&lt;/kbd&gt; and &lt;kbd&gt;Power&lt;/kbd&gt; keys and approve it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Go back to the main menu, and select &lt;em&gt;Reboot&lt;/em&gt;. The next reboot &lt;em&gt;will&lt;/em&gt; take longer as usual, so don't worry: Android needs to rebuild the &lt;em&gt;Dalvik Cache&lt;/em&gt;, that's completely normal behaviour.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Helper apps:&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Several apps offer options to cleanup the &lt;em&gt;Dalvik Cache&lt;/em&gt; (e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SystemCleanup.Inteks.org&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;SystemCleanup&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackupPro&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Titanium Backup PRO Key ★ root&lt;/a&gt;). You can try those; but I'm not sure if one of them really &quot;wipes&quot; the &lt;em&gt;Dalvik Cache&lt;/em&gt;. At least for &lt;em&gt;Titanium Backup&lt;/em&gt; I know it only removes remains from uninstalled apps (i.e. obsolete Dalvik files).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;rooted and non-rooted devices last resort: &lt;em&gt;Factory Reset&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If none of the above does solve your problem, there's always the &lt;em&gt;Factory Reset&lt;/em&gt;. Basically, this does all the above (wiping &lt;em&gt;Application Cache&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Dalvik Cache&lt;/em&gt;) -- but it also wipes the &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; partition. This means: All your settings and data (except those stored on your sd card) as well as all apps you installed yourself are gone. So be sure to have a good backup before doing this (see e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/28296/16575&quot; title=&quot;ASE: Full Backup of non-rooted Devices&quot;&gt;Full Backup of non-rooted devices&lt;/a&gt; for how to achieve this).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;rooted devices: fstrim&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another reason for slowing things down lies in the storage. A little background for understanding:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the flash memory used in our devices, each cell can only be written so many times. To prevent capacity loss and wear-out, the flash controller applies an algorithm called &quot;wear leveling&quot; to evenly spread writes across the medium. Of course, to prevent data loss you want to write to &quot;empty places&quot; only (except when explicitly overwriting a file). And here comes the culprit: To speed things up, the file system in most cases only marks files deleted, but doesn't tell the controller about the &quot;freed blocks&quot; -- so it becomes inefficient with time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Android 4.3 addresses this issue with appropriate &lt;code&gt;fstrim&lt;/code&gt; calls, telling the controller once a day which blocks to consider freed. Some ROMs integrated a comparable feature also in earlier versions of Android, mounting file systems with the &lt;code&gt;discard&lt;/code&gt; option (so the controller is informed at once on deletes), but this slows down deletes a little. For devices not having addressed this in either of the two ways, it might be worth to take a look at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.grilledmonkey.lagfix&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Lagfix App&lt;/a&gt;, which calls &lt;code&gt;fstrim&lt;/code&gt; in a user-friendly way for selected partitions. Running that once on a long-used device may speed up writes by a factor of up to 30, and even reads get a little faster.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;References:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Speedup values: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.android-hilfe.de/galaxy-nexus-forum/329247-galaxy-nexus-immer-langsamer-26.html#post5557962&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot; title=&quot;Android-Hilfe.DE: Galaxy Nexus slowing down&quot;&gt;Android-Hilfe.DE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://dottech.org/101226/android-lagfix-review/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot; title=&quot;DotTech: Android Lagfix Review&quot;&gt;Greatly improve speed and performance of your smartphone or tablet with LagFix&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971852&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot; title=&quot;XDA: Nexus Storage Performance Over Time &amp;amp; TRIM 20130727&quot;&gt;Nexus Storage Performance Over Time &amp;amp; TRIM 20130727&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:32.723" LastActivityDate="2013-09-02T18:43:00.303" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Though in most cases this happens after flashing a new ROM, other things might affect it as well: e.g. some system related apps which have services or the like started quite early. But those special cases usually rather result in a force-close-loop than in a boot-loop.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are some things you can try before asking a question, so we don't need to explain the same things over and over. Please make sure to include results with your question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Safe mode&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;See whether you can boot your device into &lt;em&gt;Safe Mode&lt;/em&gt;. How this can be done depends on your device, as different devices use different key-combinations to achieve this. You might want to consult the article &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tested.com/tech/android/3071-how-to-use-androids-safe-mode-to-save-a-phone-from-boot-loops/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;How To Use Android's Safe Mode to Save a Phone from Boot Loops&lt;/a&gt; for details. For a quick go, the main paragraphs are:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;On Samsung’s devices, almost all users will be able to access Safe Mode with by pressing and holding the menu button during start up. If it’s a capacitive menu key, make sure to release and press again each time the LED under the key comes back on. You don’t want to miss the catch for Safe Mode because the button released itself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;p&gt;The Nexus One is easy, just press and hold the trackball while booting. HTC’s other phones are a little harder. On HTC phones without physical buttons, turn the device on, and wait for the HTC logo to come up. At that time, press and hold the volume down toggle. For other devices with physical buttons, HTC or other, try pressing and holding the menu button during boot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you successfully reached &lt;em&gt;Safe Mode&lt;/em&gt;, you will see the string &quot;Safe Mode&quot; displayed on your screen, usually in the lower left corner.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If that works, it is one of the apps you lately installed which causes the boot-loop (otherwise you would not have completed the boot this way). So go and remove the app (via &lt;em&gt;Settings&amp;rarr;Apps&amp;rarr;Manage Apps&lt;/em&gt;), reboot, and you should be fine. In case you get problems leaving &lt;em&gt;Safe Mode&lt;/em&gt;: Power down, take out the battery for 30s, insert it again, power up.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Recovery mode&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If &lt;em&gt;Safe Mode&lt;/em&gt; is not reachable either, you can try booting to recovery mode.

If one wants to grab the &lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; for distribution, that's easily possible using apps like &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.android_telefonie.appmanager&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;AppMonster&lt;/a&gt;, which can back up the &lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; file to SD card. No extra protection from Google's side -- except users might feel more safe installing it from a &quot;trusted source&quot; (and they are right about that at least when it comes to unknown/new devs, as the &lt;em&gt;Google Bouncer&lt;/em&gt; adds a protection layer against malware, see &lt;a href=&quot;http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2012/02/android-and-security.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Android and Security&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In fact many developers hold their apps &lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; files available on their project site for good reasons.

In order to accommodate multiple users, Google is now giving each user a their own folder for storage. If you upgraded to 4.2 from 4.1, then the 4.2 ROM will look for a certain file in /data to determine whether it needs to migrate all of your files to the new multi-user data structure. By default, 4.2 migrates all of /data/media to /data/media/0.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A problem arose though with custom recoveries. A custom recovery retains the /data/media folder during a factory reset. When you factory reset and then boot a 4.2 ROM again, the 4.2 ROM will migrate everything in /data/media again. It will migrate your files every time you factory reset. This multiple migration is what resulted in some people having their files moved to /sdcard/0 or even /sdcard/0/0 etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So it has in fact to do with the new Multi-User feature -- one way or the other.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2012-12-16T20:30:43.433" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It could be an app hogging your CPU, or the system running low on free RAM. It's even possible that some service runs havoc, blocking resources (though this one would be a bit harder to track).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Easy tracking for beginners (and for free)&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are several possibilities to find out what's going on.

First order them by CPU usage: Is there any app constantly using 50% or more CPU? If so, you probably found the evil-doer. Next order them by RAM usage: Any app &amp;quot;eating&amp;quot; extra-ordinarily much?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Don't worry to much about how much RAM is free. There's no such thing as &amp;quot;unused RAM being a good thing&amp;quot; -- neither on Android nor on Linux. Free RAM will be used to speed things up, e.g. by caching files. Of course, if more RAM is used, those caches get freed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Monitoring the system&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the easy approach does not help, you need heavier armament -- and a little background knowledge to use such. There's e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.systempanel&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;SystemPanel&lt;/a&gt; which can monitor your system. More useful is the paid version, which can do so in the background, and also saves its monitored data -- so you could even check after a reboot. An alternative helper-app is &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;System Tuner&lt;/a&gt; (here again the paid app is more useful).

Is it an app that came pre-installed, or even belongs to the Android system, you e.g. could not simply remove it. Check the app's configuration, contact the developer, or search the web for known trouble with the evil-doer are always good steps to take. Of course, once you found the culprit, you can always come back here and ask a more specific question -- and with the background information you collected, we probably can give you better hints to solve the issue.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2012-12-16T23:06:20.013" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The phone is safely rooted and runs Gingerbread 2.3.6. In order to save internal space (only 188mB) I had safely deleted many system apps and bloatware, including the stock launcher, Mms.apk and the default keyboard as well. Everything was functioning properly. I have a lot of pro version apks, and I was using the Launcher 7 Donate as my default launcher. It was stored on the SDCard and was functioning properly. I also have RootUninstallerPro, and it has the pro-only option of “Installing as System app”. Considering that I wanted Launcher 7 to be my default, I installed it as a system app.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;I got a pop-up which said, “For complete changes, restart phone”, and I did so.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That’s when it went bad. The minute I rebooted, I constantly got a notif which said “This process has closed unexpectedly” (This was the Launcher 7 process.) Hence all I could do was pull down the status bar, and have access to the Phone Settings, whilst being constantly interrupted by the pop-up. I resorted to Recovery mode. Without backing up, I accidently flashed my phone, so all installed apps on the SD card were deleted. Now, all I have on my phone is: Launcher7, Camera, Calendars, Android System, Clock, Dialler Storage, Downloads, FM Radio, Process Manager, Search and the usual. (Note: There is no Bluetooth and File Manager as I had installed that on my SD card.) Now, as there is no keyboard installed, I can’t even set up my Wifi and force my way to the Play Store. I tried to send the .apk through Bluetooth, but I can’t as BLTH is not installed on my phone. Icing on the cake, my SIM is not recognized. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, I was wondering as to how, (in that priority) :&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;An external keyboard be set up so that I can set-UP my Wi-Fi and&lt;br&gt;&#xA;download a launcher from the Play Store&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;An .apk can be installed from Recovery/ Factory mode without ClockWork Mod (it was installed on SD card)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A ROM (custom/stock) designed for A95 specs, or phones having similar specs&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A way to install/ flash this ROM without CWM&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All help will be appreciated! :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="25147" LastEditorUserId="440" LastEditDate="2013-01-31T15:34:16.617" LastActivityDate="2021-05-14T22:02:40.243" Title="Default Launcher Crashing at Reboot, Access only to Status Bar and Settings" Tags="&lt;backup&gt;&lt;rom-flashing&gt;&lt;recovery-mode&gt;&lt;apk&gt;" AnswerCount="3" CommentCount="9" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You will never convince Google to let go of their data hunger, and you won't argue many developers into changing their permission requirements, as most of those are really needed for core functionalities of the apps -- or at least functionalities most of the users want from them. But you can do something about your devices:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Privacy protectors for rooted devices&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your device is rooted, there are a few apps available to protect your data. Best known in this area is &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lbe.security.lite&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;LBE Privacy Guard&lt;/a&gt; (which has some troubles with Jelly Bean currently), a closed-source app from China. Used by many people not only there, first doubts (closed source + China = Spyware?) won't hold long: People even tracked what the app was doing, up to now I heard no evil thing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Second, there's &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.privacy.pdroid&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;PDroid Privacy Protection&lt;/a&gt;, which is a little tricky to install, and finally it's Open Source pendant &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.xda-developers.com/android/pdroid-manager-the-pdroid-app-alternative/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;PDroid Manager&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All these apps allow you to restrict actions an app might want to perform -- without causing the app to crash. Most likely all of them feed the apps fake data instead: Empty contacts/calendar, no network available, no (or a fake) location, randomly generated IMEI, and the like. You can configure on a per-app base which permissions to restrict.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But for sure, root is a must-have for them -- otherwise they wouldn't be able to restrict other apps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Privacy settings for all devices&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Without root, this gets a little tricky -- and not at all that perfect: you can disable all sync, use a non-google calendar/contacts app (with their own databases, not syncing with Google or anything else), decide to not backup your data to Google, etc. If you feel that's not enough, take a look at the article &lt;a href=&quot;http://tedmajor.net/2012/01/30/life-without-google/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Life without Google&lt;/a&gt; for additional hints.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Going paranoid, you can also disable WiFi and mobile network completely. That's almost like buying a dumb-phone then -- but using apps from other sources (as explained in the linked article), you'd still have phone and PDA in one device. You'd just miss the other &amp;quot;half&amp;quot; of its features.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Conclusion&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Many of us don't like to give up their privacy, though most don't seem to care. The Android system is still better in keeping it than many other systems around (no bashing, so I won't name any).

Starting with Android 2.2 (aka Fozen Yoghurt or, in short, Froyo), &lt;em&gt;App2SD&lt;/em&gt; became a standard feature to the Android system. However, not all apps can be installed/moved to SD card this way, and for good reasons:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the developer might decide to not permit it (see &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/install-location.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;App Install Location&lt;/a&gt; in the Android developer documentation)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;certain functionalities do not permit it, as they would no longer work&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In the second group belong...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;AutoStart: Apps could no longer be automatically started by the system (at &lt;code&gt;boot_completed&lt;/code&gt;), as the SD card is only mounted &lt;em&gt;after&lt;/em&gt; that event was broadcast&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;when mounting the sdcard to a computer as USB storage, it is no longer available locally on the device -- hence the apps are no longer available -- hence they would be closed. Quoting from the mentioned source:  &#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;When the user enables USB mass storage to share files with a computer or unmounts the SD card via the system settings, the external storage is unmounted from the device and all applications running on the external storage are immediately killed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;services offered by such apps would not be available because of the above&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Widgets will fail exactly because of the above reasons&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;same issues for input method engines,  live wallpapers, account-managers, sync-adapters, and more (all described on the above linked source)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sure there are possibilities to &lt;em&gt;force&lt;/em&gt; almost any app to SD (e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droidsail.dsapp2sd&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;DroidSail&lt;/a&gt; has this ability) -- but that would break above mentioned features, if any such app offers them.

Certain privileges are reserved to system apps only, as explained in &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/a/32077/16575&quot;&gt;this answer&lt;/a&gt; -- but system apps cannot be moved to sd. Apps on SD have certain restrictions, so not every app can be moved there -- but the good of it is: if an app can be moved there, it might save you valuable space on the internal storage, especially when that is limited (as it often is on low-end devices).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:27.010" LastActivityDate="2012-12-18T22:57:19.540" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So concerning this it was a bad idea to buy those apps specifically for your parents using your account&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;if the device is running at least Android 4.2, you can create separate accounts for your parents, with your own account staying the &quot;owner&quot; (which means, you would administrate the device for them -- certain actions as e.g. &lt;em&gt;factory reset&lt;/em&gt; are limited to the &quot;owner account&quot;). In this case you would need to re-install all apps with the new account -- but it would be a &quot;fake-reinstall&quot; (they won't be doenloaded another time). Still, above mentioned license issue will remain: Each user must pay for the app separateley.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;no issue for free apps, however -- though if changing the account they might no longer update, as they are &quot;registered&quot; with the old account.

This &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; solve the issue with the License stuff for the apps you already bought for them.

As your question indicates your device is rooted, this could be useful for you. The principle described there can be applied to your case as well by simply changing the &lt;code&gt;oom_adj&lt;/code&gt; value specified (the &lt;code&gt;-17&lt;/code&gt; would permanently PIN it, highest prio -- so use a larger value to &quot;weaken&quot; that).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The script snipped posted there looks like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;#!/system/bin/sh&#xA;sleep 60&#xA;&#xA;PPID=$(pidof com.estrongs.android.safer)&#xA;echo &quot;-17&quot; &amp;gt; /proc/$PPID/oom_adj&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;An anonymous user noted you could also set this file to read-only permissions to prevent Android from updating it, adding &lt;code&gt;chmod 444 /proc/$PPID/oom_adj&lt;/code&gt; to the above script (the proposed 444 means nothing but read permission, but doesn't affect &lt;a href=&quot;https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/48579/why-can-rm-remove-read-only-files&quot; title=&quot;Unix.SE: Why can rm remove read-only files?&quot;&gt;the system's ability to remove the file&lt;/a&gt; when the process ends). I have not verified that, but this could in fact save you from looping/repeatedly running the script, making the set value permanent for as long as the process lives.&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As said, replace the &lt;code&gt;-17&lt;/code&gt; by your chosen value. Also replace the app's package name (&lt;code&gt;com.estrongs.android.safer&lt;/code&gt;) by the package name of your target app. You can also lower the &lt;code&gt;sleep&lt;/code&gt; value, or even ommit the sleep at all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now you need a way to auto-execute this as soon as your app is running. For this part, you could e.g. use &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Tasker&lt;/a&gt;: Context would be &quot;app running&quot; (and your app selected), and the task &quot;run shell&quot;, with above script as parameter. Then, as soon as you start your app (and it comes to foreground), &lt;em&gt;Tasker&lt;/em&gt; would execute the script -- and the &lt;code&gt;oom_adj&lt;/code&gt; value should be applied.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:37:07.453" LastActivityDate="2015-09-18T08:49:29.203" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

A few requirements for this, though:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Your device probably must be rooted&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;(not mentioned there, but the database we need to update is owned by system/system, and nobody else has read or even write access to it. Also removing files from &lt;code&gt;/data/system&lt;/code&gt; is unlikely to be permitted without)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;USB Debugging must be enabled on the device (rooted users: alternatively you can boot into recovery, where USB Debugging is not required -- but you might need to manually mount the &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; partition)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the &lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Android SDK&lt;/a&gt; must be installed on your computer&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;device must be plugged-in and connected via USB&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;you need a command line on the computer&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the command line, enter the following:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;&amp;gt; adb -d shell&#xA;# sqlite3 data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db&#xA;sqlite&amp;gt; update system set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';&#xA;sqlite&amp;gt; .exit&#xA;# exit&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;(According to a &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/35847/#comment-53693&quot;&gt;comment from Kay&lt;/a&gt;, on Android 2.3.7 the SQL-Statement should read &lt;code&gt;update secure set value=0 where name='lock_pattern_autolock';&lt;/code&gt; -- at least with CM7 on a HTC Desire)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now disconnect and power off your phone, and turn it back on and the pattern lock should be gone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href=&quot;http://geeknizer.com/unlock-bypass-recover-android-screen-lock-pattern/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Geeknizer&lt;/a&gt;, there are a few additional useful steps to follow: After the reboot, use your ADB shell again and...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then reboot again. When device reboots, you will still see a pattern lock screen. But here’s the catch: just try any random pattern and it may unlock then remove the pattern from settings.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hint:&lt;/strong&gt; if the &lt;em&gt;Settings&lt;/em&gt; app crashes when you try to set a new pattern, remove &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; &lt;code&gt;.key&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;locksettings.db*&lt;/code&gt; files from &lt;code&gt;/data/system&lt;/code&gt; (see &amp;quot;More&amp;quot; below).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some additional notes from &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/35847/can-not-unlock-my-android-device-as-have-no-internet-connection#comment-81910&quot;&gt;this comment&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/users/13266/krlmlr&quot;&gt;krlmlr&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Mounting &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; will be necessary.

An example would be how it took 5 attempts to download the dropbox beta apk file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is frustrating because it wastes my time and my bandwidth. Downloading on firefox for android is okay, but probably because it caches the files, so if you save an image, it just copies it from the cache to your downloads directory.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There have been a few instances where I have witnessed it hitting 100% complete and displaying &quot;Download complete&quot; but then changing to &quot;Download unsuccessful&quot; 3-5 seconds later.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Until today, I didn't have an external SD card, so I figured that perhaps the file was getting corrupted because something else was reading or writing from the card at the same time. But I can't find a way to get the stock browser to change the path it writes downloaded files to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there a way to fix this? Perhaps a way to see why the filesystem is marking the file as unclean? I checked my logcat app, but didn't see anything useful.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm considering using TitaniumBackup and freezing the stock browser and replacing it with Dolphin or something. I prefer having two browsers as some places I have two logins and hate constantly logging in and logging out, additionally when I need to look something up &quot;real quick&quot; I use the stock browser as it is light-weight for quick tasks.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For record sake, I am using stock android on a rooted Droid 3, but this problem has been happening before I was rooted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, this is an insurance replacement that I got January 18 of 2012, but didn't touch it between January 31-Oct 11, 2012. So I do not know if the data radio is burnt out and is corrupting the packets. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update:&lt;/strong&gt; I used a SQL Editor to look at the downloads database. It seems that the files that didn't download saved with a status code of &lt;em&gt;489&lt;/em&gt;. At first I thought this was an HTTP status code, but turns out to be a SIP protocol status code. Research finds that it is returned when the client sends a malformed Event header.  Any clue what is causing this?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Another Update:&lt;/strong&gt; Just adding more information has it becomes available. This seems to be happening beyond the stock browser. Last night I decided to finally update all of my apps that have been pending updates for a week.

I do say minimal because there is no 0 risk!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's split this in parts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Installing custom recovery: &#xA;Higher risk because now you're overwriting the recovery partition of the phone. If you're in the process of overwriting and your phone shuts off, the recovery part may get corrupted. Will your phone brick though? Maybe, depending if the boot partition may also be affected. But, since your phone uses fastboot, the risk decreases.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Rooting:&#xA;Usually the least risk operation of all, since you're pushing files to the device.

Custom ROMS &lt;em&gt;usually&lt;/em&gt; just copy the OS onto the phone. This should not touch the recovery partition. This means that should it fail and the phone does not boot into an OS, you can still use the recovery partition to restore a backup, retry the install or try another ROM. This may change though, if you install a non One S ROM, as most ROM zips have a hardcoded partition when they modify.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So remember to read the instructions thoroughly, make sure your battery is fully charged when doing this, back up your current OS after you install custom recovery and make sure you install the ROM that is made for your device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="23463" LastEditorUserId="23463" LastEditDate="2012-12-22T01:32:13.203" LastActivityDate="2012-12-22T01:32:13.203" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Though for some steps it was not clear to me what Android version (and what menu option) they were referring to, as a basic abstract the most important points include:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Remove apps you no longer need&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;This is the fastest solution, as it will certainly reclaim larger amounts of space per single step. To do so, you can e.g. use Androids default app manager: Go to &lt;em&gt;Settings &amp;rarr; Applications &amp;rarr; Manage Applications&lt;/em&gt;, select the &lt;em&gt;Downloaded&lt;/em&gt; tab (you only can remove apps you downloaded yourself), check which apps you no longer need, tap their entry, and hit the &lt;em&gt;Uninstall&lt;/em&gt; (or &lt;em&gt;Remove&lt;/em&gt;) button. In case this is grayed out, you might need to &lt;em&gt;Force Stop&lt;/em&gt; the app first.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Move apps to your sd card&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;This option is available with Android 2.2 and higher, but doesn't work with all apps. In short, apps must actively support this -- and must &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; provide widgets and some other things in order to be moved to sd card. The built-in &quot;mover&quot; only permits you to move apps applying to these rules.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cleaning up caches&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;You can do so manually going to &lt;em&gt;Settings &amp;rarr; Applications &amp;rarr; Manage Applications&lt;/em&gt;, select &lt;em&gt;&quot;All&quot;&lt;/em&gt; (not just &lt;em&gt;&quot;Downloaded&quot;&lt;/em&gt;), tap each app, and select the &lt;em&gt;Clear Cache&lt;/em&gt; button.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clear history&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;This is for your call-logs etc. I doubt this reclaims lots of space.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Having followed these essential steps (which I placed in the order of &quot;most effective first&quot;), your problem should be gone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastActivityDate="2012-12-22T14:56:31.403" CommentCount="9" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

When you gotten that, then the hashed string need to be brute forced. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Android hotspots running wpa2-psk will use the AES cipher by default unless told otherwise by the device requesting access.

With versions prior to Android 4.x your device usually identifies as &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_storage&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;USB storage&lt;/a&gt; (like any external disk/USB-stick attached), never Android versions might use &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;MTP&lt;/a&gt; instead, which might require special drivers on your PC to be used.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once connected, you can transfer files easily between PC and Android device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Using a card reader&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your device features a slot for sd cards, you could simply remove the sd card from your device (remember to unmount it first via the device's setup menu), put it into a card reader, and attach it to the PC. It should then pop-up on your PC as &amp;quot;USB storage&amp;quot; as described above.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Wireless solutions (Browser-based)&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are a bunch of wireless solutions available -- and this is not the place to list them all. Principially, you can install any FTP/Web server, and configure it to offer the directories you wish to access.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As this might be too complicated for many users, there are quite easy solutions. The probably most well-known is &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;AirDroid&lt;/a&gt;, which offers a nice interface to manage almost your entire device from your PC:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/FvsPw.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Airdroid&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As the example screenshot shows, a file browser is included -- and permits you to upload and download files to/from your device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A second example for an easy-to-use app would be &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;WiFi File Transfer&lt;/a&gt;, which -- as the name suggests -- is specialized to transfer files via WiFi:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/CeNjU.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;WiFi File Transfer&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are many more possibilities, just check the playstore. A good starting point are the playstore pages of the mentioned two examples, then lookup related apps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Other Wireless Solutions&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are many more wireless solutions available. As Logos mentioned it in his comment, I will add some examples here for completeness:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Samba&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can use apps like &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funkyfresh.samba&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Samba Filesharing&lt;/a&gt; to turn your Android device into a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_%28software%29&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Samba&lt;/a&gt; server. In short, Samba (or SMB, or &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cifs&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;CIFS&lt;/a&gt;) is the protocol used by Windows shares. Linux also understands this protocol. Using Samba, one thus can access the Android device's file system (without root, this will be restricted to the internal/external sd card) like any Samba-/Windows share.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;WebDAV&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Several apps like e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.fun2code.android.lite.webdrive&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;DavDrive&lt;/a&gt; can share the Android device's storage via the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webdav&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;WebDAV&lt;/a&gt; protocol. This works via HTTP, but can also be accessed like a &amp;quot;shared drive&amp;quot; using the appropriate software on the PC.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Bluetooth&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Don't forget that we also have this available -- at least on our Android devices. But also keep in mind this is much slower than WiFi. Nevertheless, it can be facilitated using apps like &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.medieval.blueftp&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Bluetooth File Transfer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;FTP&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTP&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;File Transfer Protocol&lt;/a&gt; also is an option. There are several apps available turning an Android device into an &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lutey.FTPServer&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;FTPServer&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Other solutions&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For completeness, let's just name them in short: SSH Server, Web server, File Synchronization tools (like e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;FolderSync&lt;/a&gt;), and probably several other options I'm currently unaware of...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2012-12-24T13:55:50.483" CommentCount="7" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There is no time to establish a satellite connection. (I'm sure you did this to preserve the battery power). This is also the reason some photos in a row have their location recorded. Another possible reason would be that You might have been in a place where satellites couldn't locate you.

So it can be that your device has absolutely no juice left to run. An example of such a device is the BlackBerry PlayBook (not Android) where this trick works when your tablet doesn't want to boot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But there is a simple solution for that, which can take some time. Try to keep your device awake for as long as possible, even if that means you have to restart it a couple of times. Of course you do this while your charger is connected. After you have restarted it a couple of times, it should normally boot up. I expect it will take about 7 or 8 boots for the battery to be charged at minimum level again. After that, make sure you keep the device connected long enough so the battery is fully charged (have a look in your user manual how long it is recommended, most tablets need about 8 hours).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Another option&lt;/strong&gt; is that your device just needs a little more juice to start. In that case you should leave it plugged in for some time (I recommend at least an hour) before booting.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;tl;dr: Two options you could try: 1) Just keep restarting it, after a while it will start as normal.

Before I present you a possible solution, let me point out what your mistakes have been -- to avoid those in the future:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Never ever go to restore &lt;em&gt;system data&lt;/em&gt; (this includes SMS, contacts, and other data from system apps) from a Nandroid backup of one ROM to a different ROM.&lt;/strong&gt; This &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; work in &lt;em&gt;some&lt;/em&gt; cases (when those ROMs involved are &lt;em&gt;very&lt;/em&gt; compatible), but most likely will bring you in trouble as it was in your case. Apps store their data mostly in SQLite files, which contain databases -- and the structure of those databases very often differs. So you break those apps, which leads to different kind of trouble -- up to the point of boot-loops or incomplete boots, being stuck at the logo. This is also why Liam is correct that a &quot;data wipe&quot; (or &quot;factory reset&quot;) would have solved the issue (as it would remove those broken SQLite files, and the apps would re-create them emptily).&lt;br&gt;&#xA;If you really need to transfer data of system apps between different ROMs, the best way is to &lt;em&gt;export&lt;/em&gt; this data &lt;em&gt;before you flash&lt;/em&gt; (contacts can be exported directly from the contacts app, and would then be stored as &lt;code&gt;.vcf&lt;/code&gt; file on your sdcard; for other things like SMS there are apps available on the playstore), and &lt;em&gt;import&lt;/em&gt; them afterwards. Also, as you are rooted, you should consider buying the pro version of &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Titanium Backup&lt;/a&gt; for a complete backup (in addition to your Nandroid backup). &lt;em&gt;Titanium Backup&lt;/em&gt; includes a &quot;Migration feature&quot; which should work for those kind of data as well.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Never flash a kernel if you are not 100% sure it works for your combination of device and ROM.&lt;/strong&gt; If you break things here, you device won't be able to boot in normal or recovery mode, as you experienced. Especially do no such thing if your device already has other trouble -- first solve that trouble before doing such &quot;deep system changes&quot;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, you are 100% correct: As you are no longer able to boot into recovery mode, you need a helper tool &quot;from outside&quot;. For Samsung devices, this tool is either Odin (which is what Samsung itself provides), or &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Heimdall&lt;/a&gt;, which is a cross-plattform alternative to Odin which will also run on your Ubuntu PC (Odin will not, as it IMHO is for Windows only). Use either of the two to flash &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; ROM compatible to your device, so you get your recovery mode working again. Once that is done, you might start over flashing ClockworkMod recovery, then restoring your complete Nandroid backup, exporting your data as described above, and finally switch to the ROM you wanted to use.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/XQsW6.png&quot; alt=&quot;Heimdall&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastActivityDate="2012-12-27T19:26:20.887" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Check to see how strong the wifi signal is in the spot where you are trying to connect. Sometimes if the connection is really weak it will keep the phone from connecting so try moving around your house also. I know this is pretty obvious but you said you had two networks so make sure your phone is not connected to the first one when you are trying connect to the second.

Click on the plus button at the bottom (right above the home button in the center). Enter your network's SSID (name that appears in the list of available networks) and select the security and password.

(The exact types vary by device and firmware revision, and I don't have a Droid 3 on hand, so you'll just have to look and see for yourself.) In my experience, though, this didn't help much; the phone would just give me no data service instead of 1X, or refuse to connect to 3G/4G, or to any network at all. Also, be careful in this menu; if you change a setting and don't know what to change it back to, you could completely kill your ability to connect to the network, requiring a factory reset.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16963" LastActivityDate="2012-12-28T03:50:02.787" CommentCount="2" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Which leaves you with a few options:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;re-flash the stock image to your device, import the backup, then use a good backup app like &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;SMS Backup &amp;amp; Restore&lt;/a&gt; to back up your SMS. After that, flash back your current ROM, and import with the same app.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;This should always work (and did in the OP's case), but means a bit of effort as one has to flash the device at least two more times (to stock, and back to current). Before doing this, consider making a backup if you already put some customization/configuration work into your current ROM.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Similar: Use an Android Emulator (the one from the SDK, or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.xda-developers.com/android/jar-of-beans-a-portable-android-emulator/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Jar of Beans&lt;/a&gt;), load the same Android version you had on your device before, import the backup, and use one of the mentioned apps to export it from the Emulator, as well as to import it on your device.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; this might only work for &quot;Plain Vanilla Android&quot;, as the emulator will most likely not support device-specific (or manufactur-specific) stuff. Unless there's an emulator around supporting device-specific images, of course. In the OP's case it did &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; work, as the app in question was bound to HTC's Sense stuff.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately we've been unable to determine the file format used.

It stays on the 3G network by itself.

There are several rules an app must obey to be &quot;allowed&quot; for installation on SD card. Apps installed on SD card can e.g. not automatically start at boot time (as the &lt;code&gt;boot_completed&lt;/code&gt; event is broadcast &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; the card is mounted). They also may not offer widgets, services, alarms, and some other things -- as those functionalities would break when the sd card gets &quot;removed&quot; (e.g. when mounted to the PC). All these rules are obeyed by the native method. Those &quot;advanced app2sd&quot; helpers which &quot;move more apps&quot; mostly ignore some of these rules. The app will work nevertheless, but maybe some of its features are broken.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And then there's at least one app working completely different: &lt;em&gt;Link2SD&lt;/em&gt;. This app simply creates &quot;symbolic links&quot; to the sdcard (after copying the app/data over there), and thus fool the system which still thinks they're on internal storage. By using a separate partition on the card (which will be &quot;invisible&quot; when connected to the PC, and thus not mounted) it works around some of the caveats -- a trick some of the above mentioned &quot;advanced app2sd apps&quot; also play. This variant obviously requires root, as it handles apps and their data itself -- which is not possible for a non-root app. Same applies to some of the above tools when they offer to move app data / Dalvik cache to the card, which is also not possible without root.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastActivityDate="2012-12-31T22:21:39.483" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I need the proxy to work with Adobe Edge Inspect and so browser-specific proxy options are not the answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there a reputable third-party app which will let me switch between proxies for the current network connection?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="25981" LastEditorUserId="8041" LastEditDate="2013-01-02T18:51:40.650" LastActivityDate="2014-02-04T22:14:40.797" Title="Is there way to switch between proxy settings on ICS?"

The phone was provided with CyanogenMod 7 and worked like a charm for a few days. I rebooted it today to see whether a reboot would clear up &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/36671/am-i-consuming-roaming-services&quot;&gt;this other question&lt;/a&gt; and since then it keeps rebooting itself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;By &quot;rebooting&quot; I mean this sequence:&lt;br&gt;&#xA;The device shows the &lt;code&gt;HTC&lt;/code&gt; logo and then the &lt;code&gt;cyanogen(mod)7&lt;/code&gt; logo with the robot on a skateboard. After that, it shows the SIM PIN entry screen while the status bar says that it's loading the SD card. Without me touching the device, the screen goes black and boots again from the &lt;code&gt;HTC&lt;/code&gt; logo onwards.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's got the ClocworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.7 and I'm guessing that this is part of the CM7 package. It's (supposed to be) a helpful way to reset and recover the device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here's what I've tried so far (with reboots in between), without success:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I made a backup and then cleared the &lt;code&gt;/cache&lt;/code&gt;.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I restored the backup.  &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I then reset the phone with the &lt;code&gt;wipe data/factory reset&lt;/code&gt; function. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I removed the SIM and the SD card, then did another factory reset.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I wiped the &lt;code&gt;Dalvik cache&lt;/code&gt;, whatever that is. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;With help, I downloaded a fresh CM7.1 zip file and installed that via the Recovery and SD card. Also wiped all caches again, just to be sure. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I downloaded a CM9 rom that was made for this device and installed that. It starts fine and seems to work, but the exact same problem still occurs. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The phone now boots to the welcome screen that says &quot;touch the Android to start&quot; and then, as before, goes black and reboots without me touching it.

I got the phone, really psyched because of the battery. When I bought it it has 50% left on the battery. I did some texts and some first time testing on the phone, but no heavy usage. The phone lasted 19 hours before saying it was now low on battery (5%). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The next day, I charged it for six hours, turned on the 3G and used the Facebook app, Opera Mini, and Google Play for four hours before I removed the 3G. The battery read 29%. I was disappointed. Most of the people who bought this phone reported that it should last 10 hours with 3G on and heavy usage. Most people even say that with heavy usage their phone lasts 2 days, using the internet, apps that require it, and gaming with the phone. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now I'm on the process of claiming the warranty and I called some service centers to determine where I will take it to. The first service center claimed that all Android phones last for only one day, the second one claimed that even if only a Messaging app is on, if I leave it open even if my screen is off the battery will be drained quickly. The third one basically told me to go to the Play Store and download a Task Killer. The last one I called told me to bring the phone to the service center so they could &quot;observe it&quot;.

Even though these are compressed, they take up gigabytes of storage, especially if you're in to storing maps for a full country.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, bitmap images are just that: Images. Mapping, and especially navigation applications cannot interpret what's displayed on the image. So they don't know about the nearest gas station, bus stop, what river you're on paddling, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A vector map is in some special data format. To be displayed it has to be rendered which means an image must be calculated out of the raw data first. So the biggest drawback is that applications using those might be more cpu intensive. However, depending on the quality and contained features of the vector map, and the quality and features of the application, you can query the map for navigation by car, by foot, by boot, by bike. You can get info about nearest restaurants, or the nearest letterbox.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another main advantage of vector maps is its much smaller size compared to bitmap data. While a pre-rendered map tile image may contain some greenish and varying pixel data to represent a wooded area which is linear proportional to the covered area, the same vector map may just say &quot;wooded area&quot; and store the coordinates of the boundary.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another advantage thus is that the application decides how to render said wooded area and thus the user has some influence on how she likes maps to look like. You might be able to tell your mapping application to switch to a red/blue/black color scheme during the night without having to download a second set of bitmap tiles. It's just recalculated on the fly upon changing some settings, and does not take up any additional memory.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The amount of storage, and the available feature set is restricted by the data contained in the vector map. So depending on your needs, and those of your applications, some may want to have the full open street map data, while some get by with just a basic set.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, with vector maps and their small amount of storage, and their ability to customize their rendering inside applications, there's no need to use any additional application on your desktop to prepare the maps. Download files, and off you go. While in theory, this works, in practice the original data files of the OpenStreetMap project have to be converted into a syntactically different format. See below.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Coming back to howtos and applications, I'm still a beginner on android. Here's what I use today.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openstreetmap.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Open Street Map&lt;/a&gt; is a project to provide full featured vector maps for free.

See if it is recognized and readable.&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If it's readable and working fine on the computer, this elmininates reasons 1-2 from above, leaving you with reason 3-4. Continue with 2.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;if the computer claims errors, these are most likely the same keeping the card from working on your Android device. Check what the errors are, and take appropriate actions. Skip to 3.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Check a different card with your Android device (either you have another one around, or a friend might borrow you one to check with).&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If that card works fine, it eliminates reason #3. As you already eliminated #1 &amp;amp; #2 above, this leaves you with #4 -- Buy a new card (by now you know at least one working brand/class/size combination -- from the card succeeding here), no more checks needed.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If no other card seems to work, that almost eliminates reason #4 (though you won't be able to check all combinations of brand/class/size, it's unlikely to have tried 5 different combinations and none is working), which leaves you with reason #3 -- a case for the service station. Either get your device repaired, buy a new device, or live without a sd card available.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you got here, you obviously have some trouble with the card itself which might be solveable. So here are several things you could try to get it working (again). Consider all data lost which have been on the card (data recovery is a different issue, but if needed, it should take place &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; you apply any of the below steps!). Stop whenever one of the following steps brought you success:&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Try formatting the card from within your device&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Try the same from the computer&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It might be needed to fix the partitions. With a Custum recovery (e.g. &lt;em&gt;ClockworkMod Recovery&lt;/em&gt;) on your device, this can be done from there -- otherwise you might need to do it from your computer. That done, format it again&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;check different file systems. FAT16/32 should always work, when in doubt&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That should be a nearly complete How-to-fix-It.

RAM that's not used by apps themselves is used to e.g. buffer data from slower media, and caching stuff from the file system. You will see that quite nicely when running the &lt;code&gt;free&lt;/code&gt; command on a command line (using a terminal emulator app, or via &lt;code&gt;adb shell&lt;/code&gt;). An example (here from a rooted Android running the &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Terminal Emulator&lt;/a&gt; app) looks like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.imgur.com/NajlUZK.png?1&quot; alt=&quot;An Android Terminal Emulator running the &amp;#39;free&amp;#39; command&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note the high numbers for &quot;buffers&quot; and &quot;cached&quot; -- which are the reason why the RAM used by apps plus the amount of free RAM &quot;doesn't add up&quot; to the total RAM available. Nothing to worry about.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As for Task Killers:&lt;/strong&gt; Kill them, they won't do you much good. True they can be useful -- but not in this context: use them to kill hanging/misbehaving apps e.g. hogging your CPU and won't quit otherwise. But it makes absolutely no sense to use them to &quot;free RAM&quot; or &quot;save battery&quot; -- to the contrary: most &quot;killed&quot; apps will simply re-launch themselves immediately, using the same RAM again -- but needing more battery for the relaunch then they'd used had you not killed them. To close apps, exit them via the &lt;em&gt;back&lt;/em&gt; button (not the &lt;em&gt;home&lt;/em&gt; button).

You can find driver apps on the Play Store for some models that don't have built in drivers. Some models with 3rd party instructions and drivers available are:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Nexus One&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702742&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;HTC Desire&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751535&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;HTC Incredible&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Cable&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You can't just use a normal USB cable. As these devices can act as both a USB &amp;quot;slave&amp;quot; device (for instance so that you can plug them into a PC and copy music onto your phone, or copy pictures off the phone) and a USB &amp;quot;host&amp;quot; (for example so that you can plug a USB memory stick into your tablet and copy files on or off it) they need some way to tell which they should act as at a given time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A USB OTG (&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;USB On-The-Go&lt;/a&gt;) cable is what is used to tell your device to act as a host, this is like a normal USB cable but it has one of the internal pins connected to Ground at one end to let that device know that it should act as the host (technically pins 4 &amp;amp; 5 are shorted to ground in an OTG cable).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, as most phones have micro-USB sockets, but most USB dongles have &amp;quot;full-size&amp;quot; USB plugs, as below many OTG cables have a male micro-B USB plug at one end, and a female USB-A plug at the other to convert between the different sized connectors.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/Fb7BG.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Motorola USB OTG cable)&quot; /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;The Motorola Camera Connection kit, which is a USB OTG cable&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;USB OTG cables can be bought fairly cheaply on places like eBay or the Amazon marketplace, as well as many small electronics shops. You may also find that your device's manufacturer sells an official, branded one, often called something like a &amp;quot;Camera Connection Kit&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;USB Memory Stick Connection Cable&amp;quot;. If you're brave you can also find various tutorials on the web on how to make your own OTG cable from a standard USB cable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;USB device drivers&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you plug your USB device into your Android phone or tablet it needs to know what that USB device is and what to do with it. For common devices, like USB memory sticks, or cameras that support PPTP or USB Mass Storage, these will often already be built into the OS. For other USB devices, like Wifi, 3G or Bluetooth dongles there may not be drivers pre-built into the OS, or only drivers for certain specific devices.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;How to test everything together&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are some apps that can help you test whether you have all of the necessary hardware and software to do this, such as &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.usbhostdiagnostics&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;USB Host Diagnostics&lt;/a&gt;.

It works but the problem is that each time the app starts, Taker performs the action, but I only need the task to be performed once.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Can anyone think of any trick to do this?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;PS: please no recommendation on third-party apps or permission change method&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="26236" LastEditorUserId="26236" LastEditDate="2013-01-06T06:55:45.530" LastActivityDate="2013-09-05T12:29:49.053" Title="How to use Tasker to kill apps on/after device boot?"

What you describe is a task not for Tasker, but for... oh, I shall not mention it you wrote...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your problem is most likely that &lt;em&gt;Tasker&lt;/em&gt; very well catches the &lt;code&gt;boot_completed&lt;/code&gt; event, but the apps to kill have been waiting for the same. So when &lt;em&gt;Tasker&lt;/em&gt; looks to kill them, they're not yet started. Your Task thus finishes without anything done, and &lt;em&gt;Whoop!&lt;/em&gt; then the unwanted apps start.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So if you really want to do this via Tasker, I'd insert a &lt;code&gt;Tasker -&amp;gt; Wait&lt;/code&gt; at the very beginning of the task. Play with the values, start with 15s and increase in 15s steps until either it works or your reach a point where it's unlikely to work (say e.g. 2 min, or you see the apps have started and your Task didn't kill them).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If that still doesn't work, combine it with switching the condition: In case &lt;em&gt;Tasker&lt;/em&gt; really cannot catch the &lt;code&gt;boot_completed&lt;/code&gt; (well, &lt;em&gt;Tasker&lt;/em&gt; itself is started then), switch to &quot;monitoring start&quot;, and start over with 15s wait again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, though you didn't want 3rd party apps, just in case you re-think that: &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Autorun Manager&lt;/a&gt; does this job quite fine, without any hazzle.

I tried using my favorite music player on it, UberMusic, but I found out the music stutters for a few seconds every few seconds. I tried other players, and so far only TTPod reduces it so that I'm not bothered by it. I was even told that PowerAmp doesn't have this problem, so I tried it.

I would take a pic, and it would shut down. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I tried to get pics off my phone by syncing it with my computer. The computer said the files had errors, and asked if I wanted to skip those files. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then, the phone started shutting itself down for no reason. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I turned it back on, it said low battery. So, I plugged it in. About 30 mins later, it said it had 100% battery (I'm sure it didn't). When I turned it on and tried to use it, it would act like it had low battery again and shut down. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, it's getting worse. I can't get it to stay turned on for more that 5 seconds. It shuts down straight away.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I could see that the phone still had the pics on it. I'm hoping it can be fixed, so I can take it to someone to try and get the pics off the phone. My new baby pics are on there as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Any ideas as to what it is? I'm hoping a simple battery change will fix it, but I'm not sure why it says it's charged when I know it's not.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was originally charging on AC power. I had to use the phone after being charged for about 30 mins. It showed it had around 75% power. I went to use the camera, it shut off and when I turned it back on it showed very lowe battery. When I plugged it back in and turned it on it showed 90% power. When I went to use it again it showed low power then turned off. Turned it back on and it showed 60% power. I left it charging and in a few mins. it showed 100% on charge. If its on USB or AC power it will get to the lock screen. I can unlock it then it shuts down after 5-10 seconds. Doesn't matter if I'm doing anything on it or not. If its not on power it doesn't complete the start up sequence.

On rooted devices, &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Titanium Backup&lt;/a&gt; is probably the best choice.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;this was just an intermediate step; even if your phone is working normally in &lt;em&gt;safe mode&lt;/em&gt;, this will not have fixed the issue for &quot;normal operation&quot;, so go on.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;factory reset&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;do a factory reset of your device (warning: all your data and self-installed apps will be lost from the device, hence the backup recommendation above; your sd card should not be affected, but it cannot hurt to copy all its data to your computer as a backup before doing the &lt;em&gt;factory reset&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;startup the device again. Before installing all your apps again, make sure the issue has been fixed by the reset.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;if your device is back to normal, you can go on re-installing your apps / restoring your backups app-by-app. Between each app, make sure to test a while: if any of the apps was the cause, you might otherwise bring the problem back by restoring the &quot;faulty&quot; backup. If that happens, remember which app it was; start over from step 3.1. and &lt;em&gt;ommit this app in the next run&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;if you've restored everything, and your device is still working normal: congratulations, you're done!&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;if the issue still remains, it has to be some hardware issue. Could be the battery is broken, so next I would go to your local dealer (best the one where you've bought it), and try with a &quot;spare battery&quot; from his store. Explain the reasons, including the results from the &quot;safe mode check&quot;, and also that you've already tried a &lt;em&gt;factory reset&lt;/em&gt; (because that's the first thing &lt;em&gt;he&lt;/em&gt; will do otherwise). If the new battery solves you issue: buy it :) If not, next step:&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;If you still have warranty, send it in for repair (or let the &quot;local dealer&quot; handle this for you). Make sure all details (including results from the &quot;safe mode check&quot; and the fact you already tried a &lt;em&gt;factory reset&lt;/em&gt; without this solving your problem) are included with the report.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;if you don't have warranty anymore, ask the dealer what a repair might cost. It could be cheaper to simply buy a new phone...&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:32.663" LastActivityDate="2013-01-07T21:52:56.370" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However they differ above the kernel level, whereas Ubuntu runs a full GNU/Linux OS with most of the standard Linux libraries, and a GUI based on Qt, Android runs a custom Android and &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalvik_%28software%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Dalvik&lt;/a&gt; platform instead.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It looks like one of the big benefits of them both being based on the same Linux kernel is driver support. This means that for any Android phone that has open-sourced drivers available (either officially from the manufacturer's source, or where a 3rd party ROM developer has written them), it should be a much easier to task to get Ubuntu Phone running on it. &lt;em&gt;(notably pretty much every picture on the Ubuntu Phone site at the moment looks like it's of a Galaxy Nexus running Ubuntu Phone).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Ubuntu has already been adapted to run on chipsets using the ARM and&#xA;  Intel x86 architectures relevant for mobile devices, with the &lt;strong&gt;core&#xA;  system based around a typical Android Board Support Package&lt;/strong&gt; (BSP). So&#xA;  chipset vendors and hardware manufacturers do not need to invest in or&#xA;  maintain new hardware support packages for Ubuntu on smartphones. In&#xA;  short, &lt;strong&gt;if you already make handsets that run Android, the work needed&#xA;  to adopt Ubuntu will be trivial&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone/operators-and-oems&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone/operators-and-oems&lt;/a&gt; - my emphasis)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This means that, initially at least, it's phone manufacturers and Ubuntu enthusiasts who are going to see the biggest benefit - that it should be fairly easy to get Ubuntu Phone working on a handset that was designed for Android (and fairly easy to sell the same hardware with a choice of OS).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As the vast majority of Android apps are written using Java for the Dalvik VM, neither of which are guaranteed to be on an Ubuntu Phone (though enthusiasts may port them later) most of those apps won't work without a large amount of porting effort. Ubuntu themselves are unlikely to be in a hurry to port Java and Dalvik to Ubuntu Phone after the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_v._Google&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;legal problems that Google have had with Oracle&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also the Ubuntu Phone has it's own QML toolkit and Ubuntu SDK, neither of which are the same as (or compatible with) the Android SDK or NDK APIs, so again that's going to be a large amount of porting effort that will prevent Android apps from being run on Ubuntu straight away.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, if your app is primarily a web app with an Android wrapper around it,  then porting should be much easier as both heavily support HTML5 and Javascript.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;Web apps are first class citizens on Ubuntu, with APIs that provide&#xA;  deep integration into the interface. HTML5 apps written for other&#xA;  platforms can be adapted to Ubuntu with ease, and we’re targeting&#xA;  standard cross-platform web app development frameworks like PhoneGap&#xA;  to make Ubuntu ‘just work’ for apps that use them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone/app-ecosystem&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone/app-ecosystem&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Despite all of those differences, history in the mobile space has shown us that if a mobile platform takes off in a big way, then no matter how big the time and effort needed to port apps between platforms, all the big apps and games will make their way to the new platform eventually and companies will come out with toolkits and software that makes it easy to write an app once that can then be compiled to run on any of the major platforms (that allow it).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It seems that most of Ubuntu's app-portability is concentrating on making it easy to convert web apps into Ubuntu Phone apps, and to make it easy to run exactly the same app on any Ubuntu device - desktop, laptop or phone:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;With the arrival of the Ubuntu SDK, apps can be written to work on all&#xA;  Ubuntu form-factors: it’s the same Ubuntu OS on the desktop and on the&#xA;  phone, so a single native application can work on both. Which means&#xA;  you re-use most of the app when you add support for a new form-factor.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone/app-ecosystem&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone/app-ecosystem&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;tl;dr&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ubuntu Phone and Android are both based on a Linux kernel but are different above that - they can share drivers (this is good for manufacturers and hobbyists), but can't share apps.

It's hard to get the radio to work, and even when it does work, there's a lot of noise. And sometimes stations randomly pile themselves up and sound weird.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I would like my phone to do the job. But I can't get it to work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I tried TuneIn Radio (which is the only app I found to be able to play my radio station), but for some reason, nothing happens at the time I program on it. Probably a buggy function.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also tried AlarmDroid, which would have worked fine if I were able to &lt;strong&gt;get my hands on the real streaming URL of the radio station&lt;/strong&gt;. But I haven't. And this is where the real problem is&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The station I listen to is streamed on that page: &lt;a href=&quot;http://saguenay.radionrj.ca/player.aspx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http://saguenay.radionrj.ca/player.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, that obviously isn't the streaming URL. To find that URL, I tried URL Snooper, as well as literally asking the radio station (who refused, probably because this would allow to skip the ads - which remains strange, because they most likely did give it to TuneIn Radio, since it plays their station fine without any issue)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So! If you have some time on your hands and better technical abilities than I, and could somehow find this URL so I can try it in AlarmDroid, that would be great. Or explain me how I could get the said URL, of course.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Or some other way to get that radio station to wake me up in the morning. Like another app, or a sort of schedule to force the phone to activate Wi-Fi and then launch TuneIn Radio to play the station. Or something. But mainly, I'd like to get the URL. More simple, and besides, this isn't an Android forum.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Oh uhm. Automatically turning Wi-Fi on is important. But if I manage to get the URL, no issue, because the app has that built-in.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Any help would be greatly appreciated! Having people speak in the morning is a great help in waking up faster. Else my brain refuses to turn on.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Oh, yeah.

I can't seem to get help elsewhere and 2. I may have put a lot of information, and may be open to an Android app suggestion or something, but mostly, the core of the problem, and the most likely solution, is to get my hands on the proper streaming URL, which isn't directly Android-related.

Then copied them to the 'Notifications' folder on the phone. (The phone looks at the title tag in the mp3 file rather than the file name so needed to change that as well.)  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I now have the ringtone as normal but a quieter version of the notification sound that doesn't wake me at night or sound ridiculously loud in meetings.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="780" LastEditorUserId="780" LastEditDate="2013-01-31T10:49:48.330" LastActivityDate="2014-08-14T11:34:15.810" Title="Can I have different volumes settings for notifications and ringtones with Nexus 4/Android 4.2?"

I'll summarise/copy some of the better sounding ones (I added the links):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Try &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.matthew.rice.volume.master&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Audio Control&lt;/a&gt;, it's by far the best volume management app in the&#xA;Google Play store. There is both a notification and ringer volume for&#xA;ICS or Jelly Bean.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you're willing to pay then this app has &amp;quot;Separate Notification and Ringer volumes for ICS/JB devices&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Google &amp;amp; download a silent MP3, use &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.profiler&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Profile Manager&lt;/a&gt; or&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Tasker&lt;/a&gt; to change notification sound to silence mp3 when required.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Or alternatively (as the OP points out in the comments) use a low volume ringtone so you can still hear it. Someone points out that for this method if you have custom notifications for different apps then they won't be silenced/lower volume, only apps that use the default system notification will be affected unless you update all of the notification sounds.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Another option is to use a profile switcher like &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Tasker&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.probeez.profiles&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Setting&#xA;Profiles&lt;/a&gt; (what I use) and make two profiles:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Silent - profile set it to silence your ringer&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Ring - profile to set your desired ringer volume&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now make a rule to trigger your &amp;quot;Ring&amp;quot; profile based on incoming call&#xA;condition. The condition could be a call from a specific person, or&#xA;persons from particular groups in your address book. Use the *&#xA;wildcard if you want the condition to include calls from anyone. You&#xA;can piggy back conditions so that, for example, you can add a time&#xA;condition so the rule might only be activated at a certain time of&#xA;day.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So what you have now is 2 profiles, one that mutes ALL sounds (thanks&#xA;to ICS) and another that sets the ringer volume to a specific level.&#xA;Set the &amp;quot;Ring&amp;quot; profile to have a higher priority, that way when they&#xA;are both active at the same time, the &amp;quot;Ring&amp;quot; takes precedence.&#xA;Combined with your condition, the result should be, ALL of your sounds&#xA;are muted, but when a call comes in, it triggers the incoming call&#xA;condition, triggers the &amp;quot;Ring&amp;quot; profile, and both the mute and the ring&#xA;profiles are active at the same time, and the ring profile will win.&#xA;There might be a short delay, but it shouldn't be noticeable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This would of course have the effect that certain calls will ALWAYS&#xA;ring and maybe sometimes you truly do want to silence your phone. To&#xA;that, you will just make another profile, call it &amp;quot;True Silent&amp;quot; for&#xA;example, and have it silence everything and give it the highest&#xA;priority (or at least higher then the &amp;quot;Ring&amp;quot; profile) and then when&#xA;you activate that profile, it will win over the others.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Both of these apps are again paid for applications however they have a grater functionality than Audio Control. Tasker is a particularly great one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handyandy.ringleader&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Ringleader&lt;/a&gt; allows you to&#xA;set up profiles that you can change any or all of your individual&#xA;ringtones to silent in one click.  It takes a while to configure. Once&#xA;you install it you have to set all of your ringtones and alerts again&#xA;using the Ringleader option for choosing alerts. If you set it as the&#xA;default ringtone chooser option it simplifies the process. Once you&#xA;have reset each one they will shop up in the Ringleader options list.&#xA;In Ringleader you then save a base profile. After you have a base&#xA;profile saved you can edit all of the alert sounds individually&#xA;through Ringleader and save new profiles. I have three profiles. One&#xA;is for normal use, one for phone calls only and one for silent. There&#xA;is a simple widget available for switching them quickly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is a free application however there's also a paid for version. Someone else in the thread mentions this working for them however the actual notification volume can't be set separately, the notifications can only be silenced while still allowing the phone to ring.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When Googling around I did see people mention &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Audio Manager&lt;/a&gt; as a solution to this, however I've tested it out and although you can set the ring volume independently of the system volume as soon as someone rings you the volumes change to the same level, even if you use the app to lock the volumes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="12357" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2013-01-09T20:39:06.613" CommentCount="5" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

(I am very angry agains't them (lnx.lu) for wasting my time just because they are greedy).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, the real answer !&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You need to downgrade your hboot version before running the RUU rom, for that, it's quite easy :&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, you choose your ROM on &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667&quot;&gt;that page&lt;/a&gt;, and notice the ROM version&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Then, you go &lt;a href=&quot;http://wistinga.online.fr/mtd0/index.php&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; (if the link is down, you can download the source code &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6645462&amp;amp;postcount=61&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;!) and define the CID and the ROM version.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For the CID, if you don't know it, just set to 11111111 or HTC__022.&#xA;If you want to try something more precise, you can try the one related to your carrier from &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10007960&amp;amp;postcount=206&quot;&gt;this link&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Keep the download file to a specific directory (for this case, it will be &lt;code&gt;/tmp/mtd0.img&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now you need the flash_image tool, if you can't find one, here's &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902493&quot;&gt;a link&lt;/a&gt;. Download it to &lt;code&gt;/tmp/flash_image&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now some command line. For that, you'll need the Android SDK and a correct USB driver (adb should return a device when connected, with &lt;strong&gt;debug on&lt;/strong&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Do these commands :&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;// go to the sdk/platform-tools/ dir&#xA;adb push /tmp/flash_image /data/flash_image&#xA;adb push /tmp/mtd0.img /data/mtd0.img&#xA;&#xA;// Make sure those files were updated with :&#xA;adb shell ls /data&#xA;&#xA;// Then run&#xA;adb shell&#xA;&#xA;// You will be in your terminal's shell, now do these commands :&#xA;&#xA;chmod 755 /data/flash_image&#xA;/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img&#xA;&#xA;CTRL+C // To quit the terminal's shell and go back to your computer shell&#xA;&#xA;// Now reboot to RUU mode&#xA;adb reboot oem-78&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once the phone is on RUU mode (showing a grey HTC logo), run the .exe rom you downloaded previously, wait for it to finish, and voilà!

My service provider is AT&amp;amp;T.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Every so often, around about once a week to once a month, my phone will unexpectedly, without warning, enter a state where it refuses to send or receive text messages and phone calls.

I don't receive any text messages at all (and when I turn my phone back on, I might receive several at once that were sent over an hour ago). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't receive any phone calls. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I try calling somebody, I don't hear the 'ringing noise', and the phone attempts to call endlessly without actually doing so. If I give up, and try clicking the red 'End Call' button, it does return me to the homescreen but displays the phone symbol in the notification bar. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I slide the notification tray down, it has a sort of green 'in-progress' calling thing with a few buttons to mute or end the call. Attempting to end the call does absolutely nothing, and the 'call in-progress' thing is stuck there until I reboot.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, the internet (both wifi and 3G) both seem to work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm not sure exactly what causes this issue, or precisely how frequently this occurs.

Then I started removing one app at time interspersed with a reboot. After removing what I didn't want left, except the only two necessary apps, I went to the Play Store, to download some apps and enjoy the new freed up internal space, only to discover that it simply didn't open anymore.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At first it would load, then show the upgrading screen (from market to play store) and when I tapped *continue&quot; the app would just shutdown, and I was back at the app launcher, then I tried again just to even attempt open the app, the screen would change to the loading, but very quickly, it would shutdown again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After my second attempt, I tried installing apps via ADB, and it worked, and so did the apps, every app that I installed worked just fine, but it wouldn't be updated unless I could find the .apk file and install it again via ABD.

Each SIM card has a carrier identification, and country code identification. When Android powers up, the Radio Interface Layer (RIL) obtains the carrier and network information in which the baseband receives over the air, here is a small subset of an example taken from Gingerbread source, &lt;code&gt;apns-conf.xml&lt;/code&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;apn carrier=&quot;Vodafone ES-Internet&quot; mcc=&quot;214&quot; mnc=&quot;01&quot; apn=&quot;ac.vodafone.es&quot; user=&quot;vodafone&quot; password=&quot;vodafone&quot; type=&quot;default,supl&quot; /&amp;gt;&#xA;&amp;lt;apn carrier=&quot;Vodafone&quot; mcc=&quot;214&quot; mnc=&quot;01&quot; apn=&quot;airtelwap.es&quot; user=&quot;wap@wap&quot; password=&quot;wap125&quot; type=&quot;default,supl&quot; /&amp;gt;&#xA;&amp;lt;apn carrier=&quot;Vodafone ES&quot; mcc=&quot;214&quot; mnc=&quot;01&quot; apn=&quot;airtelwap.es&quot; user=&quot;wap@wap&quot; password=&quot;wap125&quot; type=&quot;supl&quot; /&amp;gt;&#xA;&amp;lt;apn carrier=&quot;Yoigo&quot; mcc=&quot;214&quot; mnc=&quot;04&quot; apn=&quot;internet&quot; proxy=&quot;010.008.000.036&quot; port=&quot;8080&quot; type=&quot;default,supl&quot; /&amp;gt;&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Notice the values for &lt;code&gt;mcc&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;mnc&lt;/code&gt;, for Spain for example, in this case, 214, and 01, 04 etc, that carrier information is transmitted across to the SIM card and internally within Android for reference. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Play Store, reads the phone state, and deduces the carrier information as a measure for &quot;filtering&quot; out apps based on the region/carrier. However, if the SIM card is from the country of origin, for example, UK (this also applies when &lt;em&gt;roaming&lt;/em&gt;), Android &quot;remembers&quot; the &lt;code&gt;mcc&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;mnc&lt;/code&gt; and pushes that aside, and gets replaced with the preferential carrier's network codes for the said values of &lt;code&gt;mcc&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;mnc&lt;/code&gt; respectively when roaming, for example, Spain.

Most Android backup tools require root, or run from your phone and save your data to your SD card. Simple ADB Backup is different. The app runs from and backs up your phone's data to your desktop, and does it all without root.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To use Simple ADB Backup, you'll need USB Debugging Mode enabled on your Android device (Go to Settings &gt; Developer, enable developer options, then enable USB debugging) and the utility installed on your desktop. That's about it: just plug in your phone, launch the app on your Windows or Linux system, and choose a backup option. You have the option to back up your entire device, just apps, all data with or without system apps, or even a single app if you choose.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The app also lets you restore backed up data to your device. Before you back up, you'll be prompted to generate a password you'll also have to type into the app on your phone before the backup can begin, but after that, the process runs smoothly. It's extremely simple, completely free, and doesn't require you root first. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Whilst Titanium Backup is a more feature-filled app if you're willing to root (especially if you want a bulletproof backup system for your Android), and MyBackup Pro is great if you're migrating to a new phone and don't want a desktop as a middleman, but Simple ADB Backup is free and apparently so easy to use that even Android beginners can easily and quickly back up their important data.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Simple ADB Backup was released for free over at the XDA Developer forums.

Instead, you will simply gain root when you flash CyanogenMod itself.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is due to the way in which Samsung's bootloaders work in comparison to the ones on other devices. Samsung devices effectively have unlocked bootloaders right out of the gate, but they don't have a way to use the fastboot utility that other devices use. Instead, you can use the &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722686&quot;&gt;Odin&lt;/a&gt; utility (and a third party, cross platform implementation: &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265&quot;&gt;Heimdall&lt;/a&gt;) to reflash the device from its &quot;Download Mode&quot; at any time, as the CM installation instructions describe.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Therefore, since Download Mode is accessible to the end user without any sort of modifications to the device, you don't need to &quot;root&quot; beforehand in order to install a custom recovery (and, by association, custom ROMs). The reason why you need root on many other devices is because it's the only way to write to the recovery partition and get the custom recovery installed.

NFC signal received. Apps can register so-called &amp;quot;Listeners&amp;quot; with the system, which are bound to specified events. In your case, mentioned apps have registered for NFC events.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, when an event is broadcast, and there's no listener to it, nothing will happen. Is it a single app that registered a listener, this app will be called. If multiple apps registered listeners, the system looks if one of them is set to &amp;quot;Default&amp;quot; by the user; if so, this one is called -- otherwise a popup appears fot the user to chose which app should handle the event. Usually, this popup also holds a checkbox to make that app the default for this given event.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Solutions&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As said, usually there should be a checkbox -- which in your case does not seem to be the case. So it seems there's no possibility to define a default action for this event, whatever the reason. You could try apps from the playstore which do handle default apps (e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appiator.defaultappmanager&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Default App Manager&lt;/a&gt;) -- but most likely this will not work either.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A second point to look would be in &lt;em&gt;Settings → Apps → Manage Apps&lt;/em&gt;, pick the app of your choice, and see if it has the corresponding checkbox &lt;em&gt;not grayed out&lt;/em&gt; -- if so, simply check it. Most likely, this will be grayed out, so you cannot do anything here either.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Next step would require root -- so if your device is not rooted, it's purely informational to you. As described above in &amp;quot;Background&amp;quot;, all related apps have a listener registered with the system. So we should be able to un-register it. This can be done e.g. with &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun.pro&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Autorun Manager PRO&lt;/a&gt; (yes, it will need the Pro version -- as with the free you only can change 2 entries).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/hrTpR.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;AutoRun Manager Pro&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As the screenshot shows, this app can enable/disable listeners, so you can avoid having apps started automatically in situations you rather don't want them. Which would apply to yours: Find the corresponding listener, disable it, fine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Without root, the only remaining possibility is to get rid of all but one of the apps. You could uninstall the others, or, if you'd rather keep them (and you are running Android 4.0 or higher), rather simply disable them in &lt;em&gt;Settings → Apps → Manage Apps&lt;/em&gt;, so when needed, you can simply re-activate them at the very same place.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2013-01-16T13:29:49.140" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However I noticed that only 200-300 MB's are left and marked &quot;unused&quot;. Also I know that does not necessarily mean that all &quot;used&quot; RAM is really in use. For example cached Apps may be held in RAM for faster start-up and this RAM may be freed by Android if more memory is needed. So I tried the following steps to get more unused RAM as I am experiencing Force-Closes from another App which (may) result from insufficient memory available.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I checked running apps and force-closed some of them but this gave me not enough RAM. Although this list contains Apps which may be responsible for almost 100 MBs of RAM but not for 600 MB. So I checked which Apps are cached, and closed all of them giving me also only a few MB's.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I rebooted my device but after start-up 600 MB's are already used.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I performed cold-boot still 600 MB's are already in use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I pushed the reset button which immediately shut down my device, but after reboot 600 MB's are still in use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I performed a factory reset and did not installed any other app (nor did I perform a backup-restore, as I hadn't specified any Google account so far). But still 600 MB's are used.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;I applied all of those memory task killers which all performed badly and killed only those apps I could kill myself. Except &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hala01.advancedmemorybooster&amp;amp;feature=search_result&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;one profiler&lt;/a&gt; gave me a hint: It sayed that 300 MB's are used by the kernel and 300 MB's are used by apps.

I stream all media from the tablet via Bluetooth to my factory head unit.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, I have two main issues to solve before this becomes a feasible replacement:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;1) I cannot set the microphone on the Bluetooth unit to work with the tablet.&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The tablet ends up using the built-in mic; and since that is located behind the dash, it doesn't work so well. I have been researching on Google and XDA for months trying to find a solution. From what I have read, this is my current assumption: Tablets in the USA are not built with phone functionality on purpose to deter people from buying a tablet and using it as their primary phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It seems no big deal just learn how to hack to enable phone functions and that would activate the proper Bluetooth headset profiles to work with the external mic on a Bluetooth unit. So after a ton of research I have successfully unlocked, rooted and installed TWRP as well as edited the &lt;code&gt;bool.xml&lt;/code&gt; in &lt;code&gt;framework-res.apk&lt;/code&gt; to make the Nexus 7 voice capable. But still I have no external Bluetooth mic support.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is this a problem with Android in general? or Jelly Bean in general? or all tablets?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point I have exhausted all that I can do on my own without asking for help. Does anyone know how to use an external Bluetooth mic on the Nexus 7 3g 4.2.1?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;2) My second problem is the tablet will not consistently reconnect with the Bluetooth head unit every time the vehicle starts.&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes it connects properly with phone and media profiles; sometimes just one of the two, and sometimes none at all. I have used the &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Tasker&lt;/a&gt; app as well as the Bluetooth auto connect plugin, but it still is very flaky at best.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have never owned an Android device before this tablet, always Apple stuff that to be honest just worked right out of the box. But I love the customization available on Android especially for an in-car install. So again is this an Android issue, Nexus issue, or a tablet issue? It seems from the research I have done that most Android phones will auto-connect but these tablets seem to be missing certain Bluetooth settings or profiles that cause them not to work. So any ideas on how to solve this issue?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point, if I can not resolve these two issues, I am going to return the Nexus 7 3G and get a Samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 3G P3100. From what I can tell, this tablet is a fully functioning phone right out of the box, so hopefully would solve my two issues above. But since this Nexus has MUCH better specs and is cheaper, I am hoping to find an answer to my Bluetooth problems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="26845" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2015-03-04T10:51:15.130" Title="Bluetooth Headset Profile and the Nexus 7?"

I figured out that if I plugged in the cable first, then held Vol+ and Vol- the LG logo would come on. &lt;strong&gt;This was wrong.&lt;/strong&gt; The P999 does not display the LG logo when ready to flash.

Especially starting with Android 4.0 &lt;em&gt;Ice Cream Sandwich&lt;/em&gt; (ICS) its privileges have been increased (e.g. to make a complete backup possible even if the device is not rooted), so you cannot take &quot;access via ADB&quot; as a reference here -- but rather should check from a (local) terminal.

However, I have found it does charge through USB connection to my PC.&#xA;When it charged previously a light at the connector would be red.  When it was not charging it would be green.  It is red while USB connected. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also it tells me now that it is charging, but if I remove the USB connection it stops charging.

So those manufacturers took special actions to avoid &amp;quot;custom ROMs&amp;quot; (or, more precisely, any ROMs &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; provided by themselves) to be flashed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As t0mm13b already pointed out in his comments above, by default you do &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; get physical access to your devices file system simply by connecting it via USB. Depending on device, Android version, and some more criteria, you get only to see parts. This might be the entire SD card (physical, in &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_mass_storage_device_class&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;UMS&lt;/a&gt; mode), or even only &amp;quot;logical&amp;quot; access to parts of it via &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;MTP&lt;/a&gt;. Some more privileged access can be gained via &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_Debug_Bridge&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;ADB&lt;/a&gt; when enabling &lt;em&gt;USB Debug&lt;/em&gt; -- but with a stock ROM, in none of these cases you gain &lt;em&gt;full access&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now how are updates accomplished then? One very common practice is the use of a special ZIP file (&lt;code&gt;update.zip&lt;/code&gt;). This is placed on the SD card, which is inserted into the device, and the device is booted into a special mode (recovery), where the &lt;code&gt;update.zip&lt;/code&gt; can be applied from. &lt;strong&gt;BUT:&lt;/strong&gt; the device checks the integrity of that &lt;code&gt;update.zip&lt;/code&gt; -- it must be signed with the manufacturers key. For obvious reasons, that key is not freely available -- so no custom ROM can be installed this way on such a stock system.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All these things can be circumvented only with super-user access to the device -- which means: you must root it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So that's for the &lt;strong&gt;WHY&lt;/strong&gt; part -- while not handling the &lt;strong&gt;HOW&lt;/strong&gt; part of rooting. Exactly as you asked for :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Update for even more details&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As Liam pointed out in his comment that using &lt;code&gt;fastboot&lt;/code&gt; would be a method to flash Custom ROMs without the pre-condition of having the device rooted, I did a little more research to find out about this. I will continue looking into this, but still already wanted to add my first results here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Up to a certain point, Liam is right with this: It seems not only valid to Samsung devices (as I assumed first), but some other devices (not all) also support this method, without root being involved (aside from the fact that most Custom ROMs will ship rooted, of course -- so you will have root available &lt;em&gt;after&lt;/em&gt; installing them). However, there are devices which seem to require root even for &lt;code&gt;fastboot flash&lt;/code&gt; (see e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;http://theunlockr.com/2012/09/20/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-acer-iconia-a100/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;TheUnlockr concerning the Iconia A100&lt;/a&gt;, quote: &lt;em&gt;You must have rooted your device before doing this procedure.&lt;/em&gt; -- and yes, they use &lt;code&gt;fastboot flash recovery recovery.img&lt;/code&gt; afterwards).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However, even if &lt;code&gt;fastboot&lt;/code&gt; works for your unrooted device, there is one crucial point to consider:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To Flash a ROM for your Android device with fastboot you must have an unlocked bootloader or an engineering bootloader&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;(&lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Flashing Guide - Android - XDA-Developers&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Which means: If your bootloader is locked, you need to unlock it first, which will wipe (factory-reset) your device. So all data will be gone for good this way -- while with root you could have done a complete backup (Nandroid, Titanium Backup) before this step. However, starting with Android 4.0, this is no longer a real problem -- as you can do a full backup via ADB (see: &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/28296/16575/&quot;&gt;Full Backup of non-rooted devices&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Summary:&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are devices requiring to be rooted before you can flash a Custom ROM. If your device falls into this category, the reasons for &lt;em&gt;Why is root access required to flash a Custom ROM&lt;/em&gt; are those mentioned above.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However: There are also devices which can be flashed using &lt;code&gt;fastboot&lt;/code&gt; &lt;em&gt;without&lt;/em&gt; being rooted before. If your device falls into that category, the question &lt;em&gt;Why is root access required to flash a Custom ROM&lt;/em&gt; becomes invalid (the answer not, as &lt;em&gt;ex falso quodlibet sequitur&lt;/em&gt; (&amp;quot;from false can follow anything&amp;quot;) you can draw any conclusion from a wrong premise :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That is: &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IF&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; rooting is required, the above is &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2013-01-18T19:13:57.737" CommentCount="11" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But then the GSM connection should take over and we would only see **one* disconnect after around 15 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I think you &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/14430/how-can-i-view-and-examine-the-android-log&quot;&gt;should look in the Android log&lt;/a&gt; to find out what happens around the time Jabiru disconnects. The WiFi sleep policy is one reason to look at, but then I wonder why Jabiru is able to reconnect at all, since the WiFi should be disabled until the device is woken up again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="440" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:20.860" LastActivityDate="2013-02-17T22:08:09.807" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In Secure Settings you need to install and enable the helper or the pattern unlock will work but may be unstable (it was on my N4).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that in A3 and A5 I enable pattern and disable it again. This is done because if you just enable it, it will ask you for pattern twice in a row, cause you set in Secure Settings' pattern unlock to ask you for pattern the first time. If you don't set it to ask you for it, then the pattern can be bypassed by simply turning off the screen twice.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="26970" LastActivityDate="2013-01-18T17:18:15.223" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I went to download it and a message told me that I had 0mb of space remaining.  This seemed odd to me because last time I checked I had plenty of space.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I looked at my storage and saw a little over 6GB in Apps and a little over 6GB in Misc.  I uninstalled 2 games which both had large files (around 2GB each).  After uninstalling, my App storage updated to what is shown in the image (1.82GB). The Misc storage did not change at all after uninstalling the apps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I understand that Android now has a &lt;code&gt;/sdcard&lt;/code&gt; and a &lt;code&gt;/sdcard/0&lt;/code&gt; for the multi-user feature. There are many duplicate directories in these two locations. For example, there exists both &lt;code&gt;/sdcard/Downloads&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;/sdcard/0/Downloads&lt;/code&gt;. The &lt;code&gt;/sdcard/0/downloads&lt;/code&gt; has all the downloads from &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; I updated to 4.2, and &lt;code&gt;/sdcard/downloads&lt;/code&gt; has all the downloads &lt;em&gt;since&lt;/em&gt; I updated to 4.2. This makes me think that &lt;code&gt;/sdcard/0&lt;/code&gt; is like a backup, but from the research I've done, it seems like the multi-user support effects more than just this sdcard stuff that I'm seeing (something about emulated storage).

This app is developed by German students (hence its description on the Playstore is in German, even if you set the language to English). But for our non-German readers, a short description here:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Basically, &lt;em&gt;APEFS&lt;/em&gt; is an alternative front-end to the Google Playstore. You browse the playstore as you do with the original app, and search it the same. But when on the results list&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/paLBn.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;, an advanced filter&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/MWiUt.jpg&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; comes into play:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/paLBn.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;APEFS search results&quot; /&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/MWiUt.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;APEFS filter&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As the second screenshot shows, you can select what permissions your wanted app is permitted to have (checkbox marked), and what permission it should &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; have (checkbox unchecked).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However: While this can be used to filter out apps with unwanted permissions (e.g. show only apps whitout the Internet permission), you can not restrict your results to the opposite (e.g. show only apps &lt;em&gt;with&lt;/em&gt; Internet permission). The app clearly targets at users concerned about their privacy/security -- and according to the review (I just found it a couple of minutes ago, so I could not test it yet) it does a very good job.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As it's already a year ago, and the promise on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bs.informatik.uni-siegen.de/forschung/apefs&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;APEFS Homepage&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&amp;amp;sl=auto&amp;amp;tl=en&amp;amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bs.informatik.uni-siegen.de%2Fforschung%2Fapefs&amp;amp;sandbox=1&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;GTransed&lt;/a&gt; to English, as their own English version doesn't have that statement in the first paragraph) seems not to be fulfilled anytime soon (the app is still offline): Please consider the web-based solution from &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/a/69964/16575&quot;&gt;my other answer&lt;/a&gt; as an alternative meanwhile.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2014-09-18T14:09:11.373" CommentCount="10" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But, It looks like no one has mentioned these yet. Actually, you &lt;strong&gt;can&lt;/strong&gt; get the apk files.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real APK Leecher:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;AFAIK, This is an amazing app I've figured out just a week ago. But, The app is &lt;em&gt;almost&lt;/em&gt; 6 months old. Real APK leecher is a &lt;em&gt;java-written&lt;/em&gt; program to fetch the apk files (only the FREE apps) from android market.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;You can have an overview at this app on its &lt;a href=&quot;http://codeimba.com/2012/03/09/real-apk-leecher-the-easiest-way-to-download-android-apk-file/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Author's page&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; right away.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Basically - the main advantage of this app is, it doesn't require any other programs to make it work. Anatomically, It works similar to the &lt;em&gt;Chrome extension&lt;/em&gt; (which other answers suggest).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you open the program (specifically the &lt;em&gt;first start&lt;/em&gt;), it asks for your gmail account info (i.e) your username and password, along with your own &lt;em&gt;unique&lt;/em&gt; device ID (which you can manually get using a &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redphx.deviceid&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Device ID&lt;/a&gt; app, if you don't have it). Strictly speaking, there's no adware/malware associated with it. Googling for &amp;quot;APK leecher&amp;quot; throws a lot of results &lt;em&gt;providing&lt;/em&gt; the reviews for the program.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It just gets the info because, it makes the android market believe that, &amp;quot;this program is a &lt;em&gt;phone&lt;/em&gt; trying to get free apps&amp;quot; (thereby &lt;em&gt;violating the terms&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr /&gt;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.papktop.com&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;APK TOP&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I figured out this site just &lt;em&gt;3 days ago&lt;/em&gt;. It is very good in providing .apk files. Also, it isn't a &lt;em&gt;black market&lt;/em&gt;. For most of the free apps, it gives the info, review, market link along with its own link and also, a QR Code. Users can choose whatever they wish. The link also provides &lt;em&gt;resuming&lt;/em&gt; capability while downloading the files.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;While in case of paid apps, it displays the cost and the market link. Based on my 3-day experience, the site is very much useful for me. The site-developers post new apps (atleast 10-15 per day) or newer versions of apps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The main advantage here is: Unlike many other blogs, this site uses its own link (so that they won't expire whenever they wish).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="25084" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2013-01-19T19:47:38.337" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Cut the tape.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next wrap more tape over that area, close as possible to the larger (square) part of the connector, so that it covers both the previous tape wrap plus the smaller round (flange) part of the connector. Wrap tightly until it is about level or possibly a little higher than the square part of the connector. Cut the tape.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next wrap more tape around that last wrap of tape plus part of the square connector, say with the edge right at the &quot;n&quot; LED, with about 3 turns maximum. Cut the tape.  All done.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Advantages to this method include NOT subjecting the cable end to heat high enough to shrink the heat tubing (and possibly causing other damage).  Also you don't need any other equipment or materials besides 3/4&quot; electrical tape and scissors.  Wrapping in 3 separate &quot;level&quot; sections keeps the tape from wrinkling, and if wrapped tightly, looks quite neat when done.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;RECOMMENDATION: Wrap in the SAME DIRECTION for each of the 3 sections, and cut the tape such that tape sections end on the opposite side of the connector's &quot;n&quot; LED.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="27022" LastActivityDate="2013-01-19T21:27:50.207" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So it's not always reliable to close the app. So if the app developer doesn't want to close the app on pressing the back button, it won't get closed.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Although most good app developers popup an alert dialog on pressing back button on home menu of the app, asking if the user intends to exit the app or not, if you click on exit, it does close the app.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The correct answer could be this, the closure of the app is completely upon the app developer, if they wants the app to close on pressing the home button, they'll put the exit code in &lt;code&gt;onPause()&lt;/code&gt;. If they want it on back button, they'll put it in the &lt;code&gt;onBackKeyPressed&lt;/code&gt;. So it's not really in hand of the user.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The user can just avoid using the apps which doesn't provide the proper closing functionality, when not needed. The task managers are not a good way to close the app, since it can crash the app and doesn't give them a chance to save their state.  &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The OS does close the app whenever necessary, so you should not worry too much about it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;There's an option to destroy the applications, as soon as you leave the app i.e. when you click the home key.

The problem will be &quot;&lt;em&gt;For some, the number is ofcourse in my address book,&lt;/em&gt;&quot;. I didn't see an &quot;exception&quot; to the rule on those screenshots, so how does it handle numbers that are in the block of numbers AND in the contacts. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a workaround to an &quot;easy way&quot;:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course manually inputting the numbers will work. Gmail allows more than a few numbers on a single contact. I don't know what the upper limit is, but you could just make a similarly named contact and max it out too. This would allow you to remove the exceptions from the block. Maybe use another contact software and import the contact if that interface is easier to add multiple numbers. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You could also just do it as they call. I am on 2.3.5 and after the call, when the number is not known it asks me to make a new contact or assign it to an existing one. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;EDIT: I couldn't find anything out there that would do this automatically. I now know Google contacts will allow around 3000 contact numbers in one contact. Anymore than that it is starts acting odd (not saving, etc). &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Using the tools that are available I have made it work by importing this block from a CSV file.

(check box on the top left)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;MORE --&gt;MERGE CONTACTS--&gt;OK It will only do 250 at a time. Be patient, it is very slow. &lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Rename the contact (something like &quot;Compan Name_1&quot; and remove it from this group and add it to &quot;my contacts&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Repeat steps 6 through 8 until there are no single contacts left.

I am sure you will discard the idea of using this app if you didn't understand it well. Hence, read through its description in its Play site and their &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.trekbuddy.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7018&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;forums&lt;/a&gt;. It requires little homework before any such serious use. But once you know your way (pun intended &lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/CR5j5.gif&quot; alt=&quot;;)&quot;&gt; ) through the application, it will be a breeze.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With this app, you can plan your route on computer export it as GPX and together with few MP3 files you can create a turn-by-turn pre-planned navigation.  Be aware that if you miss your turn this will not reroute you back. You have to see the map that and continue either on the new route or try to join the pre planned route. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To know about its other uses, take a look at my answer for the question &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/30369/how-to-import-gps-coordinates-track-for-using-offline/30526#30526&quot;&gt;How to import GPS coordinates track for using offline&lt;/a&gt;&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You may also try &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.osmand&amp;amp;feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldC5vc21hbmQiXQ..&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;OSMAND&lt;/a&gt;. You can create a pre planned route and export as GPX file. OSMAnd can be configured to use this pre defined route. I could not get my head through the options and configurations to make this work. But from reading its help, I understand that this can do the above and even reroute in case if you miss your turn.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Personally, I like Trekbuddy for its simplicity and its many features as I described in my answer to the other question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you happen to succeed with OSMAnd, please share your procedure with us.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update:&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;After reading through the forum pages of Trekbuddy,  I finally figured out how to use a pre planned turn by turn navigation feature and I tried today to ensure it is working. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The steps involved are (from scratch):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Install Trekbuddy either from &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.trekbuddy.midlet&amp;amp;feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldC50cmVrYnVkZHkubWlkbGV0Il0.&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;PlayStore&lt;/a&gt; or from their &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.trekbuddy.net/forum/index.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;download link&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Run the app with GPS switched on. Press &lt;code&gt;Menu&lt;/code&gt; and press &lt;code&gt;Start&lt;/code&gt; and wait for GPS fix. If GPS fix is a success you will see the cross hair at your location in the World map.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;To display a map, you have to download &lt;strong&gt;raster&lt;/strong&gt; map tiles from the service provider.  These tiles are to be placed in a particular format and an application called &lt;a href=&quot;http://mobac.sourceforge.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Mobac&lt;/a&gt; comes for rescue. This app creates such map tiles, indexes and even compress. Various map sources like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openstreetmap.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;OpenStreetMap&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opencyclemap.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;OpenCycleMap&lt;/a&gt;, Google Maps*, Google Terrain*, Google Earth Satellite*, Yahoo Maps etc can be used. Explaining how to create a map will be bit out of scope here, and I will leave it to a rare tutorial available &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reberry.de/blackberrys/anleitungen/5518-eine-karte-mit-dem-mobile-atlas-creator-mobac-erstellen.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; in German.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Assuming you had successfully created a &lt;strong&gt;TARred&lt;/strong&gt; atlas (collection of map tiles as said above), you have to place the &lt;code&gt;.TAR&lt;/code&gt; file and its subfolder inside &lt;code&gt;\mnt\sdcard\Trekbuddy\maps&lt;/code&gt; folder. To load the map, press &lt;code&gt;Menu&lt;/code&gt; button and touch &lt;code&gt;Maps&lt;/code&gt; option and select the &lt;code&gt;*.Tar&lt;/code&gt; file. Depending on how you had layered the atlas, layers might appear in the next screen and if so, select a layer. Trekbuddy might prompt you to mark this as default atlas. If acceptable click &lt;code&gt;Yes&lt;/code&gt; and you will save all this step doing again.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;One map is loaded, you can ensure it by tapping any where in the screen, which will show the cross hair on your location in the map as identified by the GPS.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;In your computer plan a route and mark turning points as waypoints. As an example, in this following image&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZaFYF.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt; six waypoints are marked as WPT1..WPT6.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;In computer, using a text editor, create a GPX file with following template.&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/k5AJh.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Place the GPX file created as above in &lt;code&gt;\mnt\sdcard\Trekbuddy\wpts&lt;/code&gt; folder.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Place sound files in AMR format (MP3 not tested) in &lt;code&gt;\mnt\sdcard\Trekbuddy\sounds&lt;/code&gt; folder. The file name of these files should be as mentioned in the GPX file.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;And finally, in Trekbuddy app, press &lt;code&gt;Menu&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;Navigation&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;Waypoints&lt;/code&gt; and choose the above GPX file. Then choose the final waypoint, in this case WPT6 and press &lt;code&gt;menu&lt;/code&gt; again and choose &lt;code&gt;NavigateTo&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When you start moving approach WPT1, the sound assigned to WPT1 will be played. The setting &lt;code&gt;Settings-&amp;gt;Navigation-&amp;gt;Wpt Proximity&lt;/code&gt; determines the proximity radius.

The best thing to achieve what you want is to create an extra partition on the SD Card as EXT2/3/4 filesystem. Then you can link the directory &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; with the partition.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When the phone restarts, it will mount the data partition more or less like this:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;mount &amp;lt;args&amp;gt; /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; is pointing now to &lt;code&gt;/mnt/sdcard/data&lt;/code&gt;, the above command is equivalent to this one:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;mount &amp;lt;args&amp;gt; /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/sdcard/data&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So in the end, we would have our data partition mounted in the SD card.

The increase in internal resistance reduces the cell's ability to deliver current. This problem is more pronounced in high-current applications. &lt;strong&gt;The decrease means that older batteries do not charge as much as new ones&lt;/strong&gt; (charging time required decreases proportionally).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;High charge levels and elevated temperatures (whether from charging or ambient air) hasten capacity loss. Charging heat is caused by the carbon anode (typically replaced with lithium titanate which drastically reduces damage from charging, including expansion and other factors).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;A Standard (Cobalt) Li-ion cell that is full most of the time at 25 °C (77 °F) irreversibly loses approximately 20% capacity per year. Poor ventilation may increase temperatures, further shortening battery life. Loss rates vary by temperature: 6% loss at 0 °C (32 °F), 20% at 25 °C (77 °F), and 35% at 40 °C (104 °F). When stored at 40%–60% charge level, the capacity loss is reduced to 2%, 4%, and 15%, respectively.[citation needed] In contrast, the calendar life of LiFePO4 cells is not affected by being kept at a high state of charge&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Emphasis mine. But note that it does &amp;quot;not charge as much&amp;quot;. Android will still report that the battery is at 100% because it is. It is charged to the full capacity that the battery can handle. This is why it doesn't seem to hold a charge for as long as it used to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Your battery is over 2 years old.

Of course, the actual life-span of an unused lithium-ion battery can vary by a fair amount based on its internal charge as well as the external temperature. But suffice to say that you can expect to irreversibly lose 20% of a lithium-ion battery’s charge every year from its original date of manufacture.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Other things can even make these numbers worse.

Additionally, an &quot;account authenticator&quot; might restrict the&#xA;actions an app can perform with the account (so it would e.g. be possible to&#xA;administrate this via some web interface offered by the service).&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BATTERY_STATS&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Allows an application to collect battery statistics&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Battery widgets and other battery information tools use this permission&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Group:&lt;/strong&gt; SYSTEM_TOOLS&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BIND_APPWIDGET&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Allows an application to tell the AppWidget service which application can&#xA;access AppWidget's data.  The normal user flow is that a user picks an&#xA;AppWidget to go into a particular host, thereby giving that host application&#xA;access to the private data from the AppWidget app. An application that has&#xA;this permission should honor that contract. Very few applications should&#xA;need to use this permission.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Group:&lt;/strong&gt; PERSONAL_INFO&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&lt;/strong&gt; SYSTEM&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN&lt;/strong&gt; (2.2+)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Must be required by device administration receiver, to ensure that only the&#xA;system can interact with it.&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Group:&lt;/strong&gt; SYSTEM_TOOLS&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&lt;/strong&gt; SYSTEM&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BIND_INPUT_METHOD&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Must be required by an InputMethodService, to ensure that only the system&#xA;can bind to it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Group:&lt;/strong&gt; SYSTEM_TOOLS&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&lt;/strong&gt; SYSTEM&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BIND_REMOTEVIEWS&lt;/strong&gt; (3.0+)&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Must be required by a RemoteViewsService, to ensure that only the system can&#xA;bind to it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&lt;/strong&gt; SYSTEM&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BIND_TEXT_SERVICE&lt;/strong&gt; (4.0+)&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Must be required by a TextService (e.g. SpellCheckerService) to ensure that&#xA;only the system can bind to it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Group:&lt;/strong&gt; SYSTEM_TOOLS&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&lt;/strong&gt; SYSTEM&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BIND_VPN_SERVICE&lt;/strong&gt; (4.0+)&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Must be required by a Vpn Service, to ensure that only the system can bind&#xA;to it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Group:&lt;/strong&gt; SYSTEM_TOOLS&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&lt;/strong&gt; SYSTEM&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BIND_WALLPAPER&lt;/strong&gt; (2.2+)&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Must be required by a WallpaperService, to ensure that only the system can&#xA;bind to it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Group:&lt;/strong&gt; SYSTEM_TOOLS&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&lt;/strong&gt; SYSTEM&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BIND_*&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;many more like the above for different services, like NFC, PrintService, and&#xA;others&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BLUETOOTH&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Allows applications to connect to paired bluetooth devices&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Group:&lt;/strong&gt; NETWORK&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BLUETOOTH_ADMIN&lt;/strong&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Allows applications to discover and pair bluetooth devices&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Group:&lt;/strong&gt; SYSTEM_TOOLS&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED&lt;/strong&gt; (4.4+)&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Allows applications to pair bluetooth devices without user interaction.

And since I took it, I... still cannot tell who's calling me most of the time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let me explain. When you have a home phone and have caller ID display in your plan, it displays the number of the person calling you as well as the name associated to that number in the phonebook. But that doesn't happen on my mobile phone. Unless it's a contact of mine, it's Unknown / No name that comes with the number.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But the absence of such information makes the feature half as useful as home phone caller ID display (for the same price &gt;_&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I realise this is more of a network / carrier issue, and that there's probably no way for me, myself, to change it (or is there? :D), but I'm wondering if there's a workaround.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For example, a way for me to create my own phonebook with some names. Of course, I could just add them to my contacts, but adding people who aren't actually contacts would clutter my contacts list a ton. And categories don't really work on my phone. you can't manage them on the phone at all. You need to create contacts at the root of the contacts, and then log in to the Google website with your computer and sort them.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So... Yeah. Is there any remotely convenient way for me to &quot;fix&quot; caller ID display, so I know who is that non-contact who's calling?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit: I forgot to say.

Bravo is HTC's internal codename name for the Desire.  They do this as they want a constant name for internal purposes as they often sell the identical device in multiple markets under different names (e.g. the HTC Magic is also sold as the HT-03A, the myTouch 3G, and has the codename Sapphire) or multiple devices (e.g. GSM and CDMA versions) under the same name (e.g. both the Marvel (GSM) and the MarvelC (CDMA) are both sold as the Wildfire S).  HTC does it with names, Samsung uses model numbers, same basic idea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;No, not unless you want to stay at your current version for some reason.  RUU means ROM Update Utility.  For most purposes, you most likely want to go with the newest not-carrier-specific RUU to have the latest update so you have the latest Android version and radio firmware.

Two cases where this would be useful are when using programs that have base maps with bogus offset data, but you want your phone to think it's in the right place on top of the bogus data. Also, sometimes the coordinates calculated from the GPS system on a given day are just simply wrong, and usually on a given day they are wrong by a fairly fixed amount. Rather that spending the entire day with my phone marking me 30m north of where I actually am, I'd like to correct the values automatically based on a known RDP location.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ideally I would like a way to 'zero' my GPS by calculating an offset based on my current location being a set of known coordinates, then allow the GPS to adjust my location based on that.

However, dependent upon your geographic location, you may be able to activate the native dialer in the Google Nexus S.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Before proceeding, you will need to:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;1) Be based in the United States (there are ways around this...!), and;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) Have a phone number registered for use within the United States (required).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;3) Grab a BEvERage of choice.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;4) Not be busy for the next 45 minutes. Tell everyone to PFO (please fone others).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;5) Remove your SIM-card from your Google Nexus S. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Let's begin!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I: GET GOOGLE VOICE VIA WEB SIGN-UP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;1) Get a Google Voice account. When going through the setup portion, you need to confirm a secondary number with the account. Use your phone number that you have with your $20/mo phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) Grab an area code that you like (as GVoice calls currently are free throughout USA &amp;amp; Canada, but this may change).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;3) GOTO Settings, and enable Google Chat as a client that can make and receive phone calls.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What if I have a US-based cellphone, but I'm in &lt;code&gt;country other than USA&lt;/code&gt;?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Use a proxy or TOR-based service, cloak your exit location with a US-based proxy, and sign-up for the service. BTW, &lt;em&gt;your welcome&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;II: GET GOOGLE VOICE VIA ANDROID MARKET&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;1) Find &quot;Google Voice&quot; in the Android Market. Alternatively, you can also find the *.apk with a quick Google search if you can't access the installer via the market.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) Install &quot;Google Voice.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;3) When asked about how you want Google Voice to process calls, select &quot;As every time I make a call.&quot; You can use other options, but just stick with this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;III: GET SIPDROID (I-P-TEL GMBH) VIA ANDROID MARKET&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;1) Find and install Sipdroid via Android Market.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) Open the program. Upon first run, you will see the magical button at the bottom of your screen, which may be covered by a keyboard. Get rid of the keyboard by pressing the back button or hide keyboard button.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;3) Tap the &quot;New PBX linked to my Google Voice&quot; button.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point, you will be linking a free SIP account with your Google Voice account. Also, as passwords must be the same between accounts, the following situation happens:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;You're based in the United States&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The pbxes.org servers are in Germany (?), and will ask permission to use your credentials to login to your Google accout via their servers&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This causes Google to think someone has hacked your account in Germany. If you get this, do not worry.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;4) Get details for your SIPdroid account credentials.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Username: it will be username-200@pbxes.org. (The &quot;-200&quot; comes right after your username)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Password: whatever password you used to register for the service. (BTW, my pw is hunter2, but you should see stars. HAHAHA.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;5) Uninstall SIPdroid&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IV: CONFIRM ACCOUNT VIA pbxes.org&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;1) Login to pbxes.org with your credentials (from section III, step 4).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) After login, go to &quot;Personal Data&quot; (on the left-hand side). If you don't want your account deleted in 1 week, fill this out. Fill out with your details, or use dummy data if you wish. I'm sure Alice, Bob, John and Jane Doe have multiple accounts... : )&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;3) GOTO &lt;code&gt;Extensions&lt;/code&gt;, then &lt;code&gt;Sipdroid &amp;lt;200&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;. In &lt;code&gt;Device Options&lt;/code&gt;, you will see a &lt;code&gt;password&lt;/code&gt; field. The password HERE has to match your Google Voice account. That way, pbxes can login to Google Voice. You can also set up your caller ID here, so go crazy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;4) &lt;em&gt;Optional, but strongly suggested:&lt;/em&gt; make sure that the password to login to the web interface of pbxes.org is different from the one to your Google Voice account.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;V: PUTTING THE SIP SERVICE ON YOUR NEXUS S&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is where it get's serious. Actually, it's pretty easy.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;1) Go to your phone dialer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) Tap the &lt;code&gt;menu&lt;/code&gt; button to get &lt;code&gt;Settings&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;3) Scroll down to &lt;code&gt;INTERNET CALL SETTINGS&lt;/code&gt;, and tap &lt;code&gt;Accounts&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;4) Check &lt;code&gt;Receive incoming calls&lt;/code&gt;. Yeah, you can be a jerk and only use your phone to call out, but what about the people who want to &lt;em&gt;phone you&lt;/em&gt;? Just check it. Unless you don't want anyone calling you. And if that's the case, &lt;em&gt;why are you even following this guide&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;5) Tap the &lt;code&gt;menu&lt;/code&gt; button and tap &lt;code&gt;Add account&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;Username&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;Password&lt;/code&gt; is what was listed in section III, step 4.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;Server&lt;/code&gt; is &lt;code&gt;pbxes.org&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check &lt;code&gt;Set as primary account&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tap &lt;code&gt;Optional settings&lt;/code&gt;. At this point, check to make sure &lt;code&gt;Transport type&lt;/code&gt; is &lt;code&gt;TCP&lt;/code&gt;, and that your &lt;code&gt;Port number&lt;/code&gt; is 5060. You can probably use another port, but it seems to work. Oh wait, port 5060 is the official SIP port. Go to:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;and search &lt;code&gt;5060&lt;/code&gt;. SO YOU USE &lt;code&gt;5060&lt;/code&gt;, AND LIFE WILL BE GOOD. Don't be smart and say &quot;I'll use port--&quot; NO! This is not a storm, you are not a sailor going to another port. You will use &lt;code&gt;5060&lt;/code&gt;, and you will be happy with the choice. Alternatively, port `5061' is SIP over TLS, but I've never used that and I am not sure if it would work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;6) SAVE the account.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;VI: TESTING THE PHONE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you've gotten this far without errors or crying, then try calling a number.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;1) Dial your number. From now on, dial with the following format:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;1 - areacode - XXX - YYYY&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That way, you don't have to worry about whether or not it's a local call or long-distance call.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point, a nifty popup will show. It will state &lt;code&gt;Complete action using&lt;/code&gt;. Select &lt;code&gt;Mobile Data&lt;/code&gt;, and tap &lt;code&gt;Just once&lt;/code&gt;. That way, you can make it permanent after it works properly.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2) Now you get something that pops up saying &lt;code&gt;[warning triangle] Place call&lt;/code&gt;. You will tap 'Internet call', as you (i) don't have a SIM card in Nexus S.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point, it will dial the number. When connected, there will be a bit of an echo. Why? Well, your call is probably routed the following way:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Nexus S &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Yankee-land (via Google Voice)&#xA;&#xA;Yankee-land (via Google Voice) &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Deutsch-land (via pbxes.org, via internet)&#xA;&#xA;Deutsch-land (via pbxes.org) &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Yankee-land (internet-phone bridge, not sure if it's the right word...)&#xA;&#xA;Yankee-land (internet-phone bridge) &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Person that you are calling&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;It sound like there's a delay and echo&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yeah, because you're voice is going half-way around the world. Always pause to let the other person finish. Do this on your side by waiting 2 seconds before and after any speech.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;But I don't want delay&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It's free for North America (US+CAD). Icing on top? If you have a VPN based in either Canada or the United States, have your Android use that connection. That way, you can be in the UK, have a VPN connection to the US and phone someone in US or CAD.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Friend: &quot;Where are you?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You: &quot;In &lt;code&gt;whatever country via VPN connection&lt;/code&gt;&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Friend: &quot;Aren't you paying a lot?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You: &quot;Yes.

By old versions I mean versions like 2.0 that came with my phone. This is the version I have been using for two years now. I just thought I would update to get all the latest bells and whistles.

I think it's mainly made for the HTC One series of phones. So I don't expect much from it, but I'll give it a try anyway. Are there more sync options in Sync Manager than in the regular Sync?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What's a good alternative to HTC Sync that I can use with HTC Desire? Which ones are popular?

Also, create a backup of the device before you do anything, if it doesn't work, you will want to be able to go back to before I broke your device ;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Begin by backing up anything you feel needs to be saved, preferably to an external storage such as a flash drive or PC hard drive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wipe the device and the SD card (the same kind of wipe used before installing a new ROM)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Load the rooted android ROM (or the Nandroid backup) as well as the ROM or APK for the play store on to the SD card.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Boot the custom recovery (the method varies from device to device) and flash the custom ROM (or restore the Nandroid backup)  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once the ROM (or backup) is finished loading, power the device fully off, remove the battery and the SD card. and wait 5 minute. This is not standard but again I like to air on the side of caution, since in my experience with desktops this is a good practice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reassemble the device (this part IS required lol) and turn the device on. wait for it to load. Make as little change to the device as possible in getting to the desktop. Activation is not REQUIRED and you can activate the device at any time so i prefer to wait until all the gears are spinning to do things like that. To skip the activation procedure you just hit the back button. Dont change any settings, features, or even so much as open a menu.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Turn the device fully off. If your using a ROM for the play store then the next step is to go into the recovery mode and flash the ROM the same as your would a custom OS ROM only you DO NOT wipe anything. Just flash it on top of the current OS.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If your using an APK file then you would install it the same as any other 3rd party APP. You need to go into settings &gt; applications and allow the installation of 3rd party applications. Then reboot the device. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If everything is working I recommend that you make a nandroid backup of the unchanged OS with the working play store. This would save ALOT of trouble in fixing any issues that come up in the future. I personally back up my device every week so i dont have too much fixing to do if something goes wrong...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the play store still doesnt work, you probably have a bad apk or rom for it, and I would recommend that you attempt to find a different one that does work.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Again I appologize if this does not help, I personally am not very experienced with Androids and this is what I would do to try and correct the problem.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="27346" LastEditorUserId="27346" LastEditDate="2013-01-29T19:42:34.883" LastActivityDate="2013-01-29T19:42:34.883" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As soon as there's &amp;quot;free RAM&amp;quot; available, it will be &lt;em&gt;put&lt;/em&gt; to use: buffering and caching are the most interesting features in this context, as they speed up the system. As soon as an app requires additional RAM, and there's no free RAM available, the required amount is dropped from caches and buffers, so this is entirely dynamic and should have no negative effects.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;More details:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/4210/16575&quot;&gt;Why is my Samsung Galaxy S not utilizing all of its RAM?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/22373/16575&quot;&gt;Why is my device not utilizing all of its available RAM?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/20256/16575&quot;&gt;Does Android hide some amount of RAM from the User?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/20032/16575&quot;&gt;Are there guidelines on how much free RAM a phone should have - specifically Samsung Galaxy S?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/33877/16575&quot;&gt;Android ROM, RAM, Internal storage, External storage and Battery utilization&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are a lot more questions here dealing with this topic.

If the problem persists after a reboot, reasons &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; be different (or the &amp;quot;hogging app&amp;quot; got auto-started). Your caches (on internal storage) could be messed up, for example. If you installed/uninstalled a lot of apps for testing, it could as well be the &lt;em&gt;Dalvik-Cache&lt;/em&gt; (pre-compiled code of your apps).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Good starting point to investigate this issue:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/35367/16575&quot;&gt;My device is getting slow, apps start misbehaving/crashing.

The binary to do the job is called &lt;code&gt;fsck&lt;/code&gt;, and usually located in either &lt;code&gt;/system/xbin&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;/system/bin&lt;/code&gt;. Sometimes you need a special variant of it, which might e.g. be called &lt;code&gt;fsck.exfat&lt;/code&gt; or the like.

I will assume here it was found in the first place, and is simply called &lt;code&gt;fsck&lt;/code&gt; (adjust the following correspondingly if that's not the case).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As &lt;code&gt;fsck&lt;/code&gt; comes from the &quot;Linux core&quot;, we can consult its &lt;a href=&quot;http://linux.die.net/man/8/fsck&quot;&gt;man page&lt;/a&gt; for the syntax. Though there might be some options not working on Android, the most basic ones should. See the linked man page for details (or run a Linux VM and use &lt;code&gt;man fsck&lt;/code&gt; in case that page disappears) -- I will stick to the basics here:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First we need to find the device your SD card is bound to. If it's mounted, the &lt;code&gt;mount&lt;/code&gt; command will assist us:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;mount&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;That's it, basically: Check the output and see where your SD card sits. Usually this is something using &lt;code&gt;vold&lt;/code&gt;, but it's different between devices. Output may include something like &lt;code&gt;/dev/block/vold/179:17 on /mnt/storage/sdcard&lt;/code&gt; -- in that case, the first part of my quote is our device. In order to repair the &quot;drive&quot;, you need to unmount it first. This can be done via the settings menu, or, as we're just in the terminal, by issuing&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;umount /dev/block/vold/179:17&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now we can go for the repair job.

It had the &quot;repartition&quot; flag activated by default, when it shouldn't, so I bricked my phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After lots of trial an error, I managed to install a ROM in my phone, using Odin as root, the stock cable, and a different USB port than the one I was using (go figure...). And from there I was able to install cyanogenmod as it says on the instructions. Then I had to reinstall them, because they were bootlooping.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;END TL;DR&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Current Status:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So, now I've got a Samsung Galaxy S with Cyanogenmod 7. But it complaints that it doesn't detect any SIM card. When it boots up, it says &lt;code&gt;No SIM card. Emergency calls only&lt;/code&gt;. Notice that it doesn't say &quot;incompatible SIM&quot;, nor it asks me for a password of any kind. It just doesn't seem to detect the card at all.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Question:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What steps can I follow to solve this issue, or at least get more information about it?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="27967" LastEditorUserId="16575" LastEditDate="2013-02-06T10:57:43.200" LastActivityDate="2020-12-22T13:45:42.777" Title="Sim card failed" Tags="&lt;cyanogenmod&gt;&lt;sim-card&gt;" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="3" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This will give you a print out of the devices that were detected.

As I explained in my comments to the question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pinouts.ru/CellularPhones-A-N/cellphone_miniusb_pinout.shtml&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;PinOuts&lt;/a&gt; describes how the PINs of the USB connector are used in general.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/6IusL.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;USB PinOuts&quot;&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;screenshot from PinOuts.ru&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note the &quot;x&quot; PIN which, according to the description, &lt;em&gt;may&lt;/em&gt; be connected to GND.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now to my observation: As I was annoyed by the very same problem, I decided to dig a little deeper. I tried 3 different cables with the HTC power unit versus two other power units (one Motorola, one generic) on my &lt;em&gt;Motorola Milestone 2&lt;/em&gt;. In short, all cables behaved exactly the same: connected to the HTC power supply, they caused the very same behaviour described in the question, i.e. unpredictable reactions to the touchscreen. Connected to any of the other power sources, there was no such effect. So the cause very clearly was the HTC power supply.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If EMI were involved, as Alex suggests, the same strange behaviour should appear here daily, as that HTC power supply is connected to a power source (and such must emmit those electro-magnetic disturbance), and my devices are often positioned not much more than 20cm from it. A connected cable might bundle that, true -- but I still hold my theory for more likely. And as one can find by looking at &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419722&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;this XDA thread&lt;/a&gt;, HTC chargers &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; obviously use a different PIN layout -- which adds its weight to my arguments.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Besides: Other devices connected to the HTC charger (I tried with two tablets, none of them a HTC) did &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; show the effect. So with the EMI argument, the resumé would not be &quot;HTC builds lousy adapters&quot;, but &quot;Motorola builds lousy displays&quot; ;)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:30.677" LastActivityDate="2013-02-12T07:21:14.067" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Rawly described: You combine events/conditions with tasks.

I believe it is running Android 2.3.6, but the phone doesn't stay on long enough to confirm.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It seems this is a common problem (why is that?), but most of the potential solutions I've seen on the Internet haven't been particularly helpful. I can't seem to boot into Safe Mode, because I instead get stuck at a &quot;Starting RSD protocol support&quot; message that does not progress. I have tried clearing the cache, but that has no effect.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have had this happen in the past, but in those cases I was able to escape the loop by powering down the phone on purpose and restarting it manually. That solution is not working this time around.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have a lot of data on this phone that I would like to at least be able to salvage before I have to wipe the phone with a factory reset (if it does indeed come to that), but the phone does not stay on long enough for it to detect a USB connection or for me to turn USB debugging on to access it with adb.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have not modified the phone in the past, but I would be willing to do so if it meant that I could get adb working. I would prefer, however, to get at the source of the problem and delete any offending app file that might be causing this to happen (if such a file can be determined).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What is going on here? Why does Android even allow this sort of thing to happen? And why is it not easier to get into Safe Mode?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I suppose those are the more academic questions in this situation, but my primary concern is: How can I gain access to my files to back them up before having to do a factory reset? Or is there another way to escape this crash/reboot loop?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT (2013-02-14):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To be clear, let me elaborate on what I mean by &quot;crash/reboot loop&quot; in this case.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I power on the phone, it goes through its normal display of the Motorola and carrier screens. Then the lock screen begins to load, as it normally does. It seems to me that it takes longer than usual for it to detect a cell signal and identify the carrier network (AT&amp;amp;T), but I can't know for sure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;At this point, if I don't unlock the phone, it will eventually reboot on its own and continue to loop through this process until the battery dies. But if I do unlock the phone, I am immediately greeted by a series of &quot;Force close&quot; dialog boxes informing me that the following processes/applications have stopped unexpectedly:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;com.motorola.service.main&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Google Partner Setup (com.google.android.partnersetup)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Google Play Store (com.android.vending)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Webtop (com.android.portal)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Bluetooth Share (com.android.bluetooth)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I generally have to select &quot;Force close&quot; on the first few in order for the next few to appear, though the Bluetooth one appears immediately on top of the Webtop one. The phone will generally reboot immediately after the Bluetooth error appears. If I have the phone plugged into my computer via USB, I will get a USB connection notification immediately before the phone reboots. I should also note that the com.motorola.service.main error occurs multiple times. (If I &quot;Force close&quot; it, it reappears in between the other errors.) The Google Partner Setup and/or Google Play Store errors sometimes appear multiple times, as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT (2013-02-20):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I'm still having issues, so I thought I'd go through the whole thing again, looking for new information. It turns out I missed one key part about booting into Safe Mode: You have to wait until the boot ANIMATION starts before holding both volume buttons down. (Then you keep holding until a long vibration occurs.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, when I booted into Safe Mode, things got worse, not better. The phone didn't even stay on long enough for it to complete the Android initialization!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I don't know what that means, but maybe it's another clue?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="28402" LastEditorUserId="16575" LastEditDate="2013-03-24T12:06:12.630" LastActivityDate="2013-03-24T12:06:12.630" Title="How do I escape a crash/reboot loop without losing data?"

How do I form a proper mount command? See below for more detailed information.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;*FYI:&#xA;I have experience developing with the Android SDK using Java/XML. I have found little documentation for the Android ADB Shell for my purpose.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have a Samsung GT-i9000 Android phone with a smashed screen. Screen is black, and unresponsive to touch. The phone does not have USB debugging enabled or USB auto mount enabled. I cannot simply plug the phone via USB to access the desired files (photos, and other internal data). I unfortunately cannot confirm the OS version. The phone has no SD Card, all the desired data is on the internal board. The phone is not rooted.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;*What I've tried:&#xA;Doing some research I have booted the phone into recovery mode using the three button method (VolUP + Home + Power) and managed to access the device using the &quot;adb devices&quot; command on my Win 7 machine. It displays as &quot;recovery&quot;. This is the only way I have been able to make the computer recognize the device via USB. I've tried Kies, and androidscreencast with no success.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have been able to use the &quot;pull&quot; command to access all the Android system files from the phone.

You can do this in CWM Recovery, or via ADB (Android Debug Bridge). This will create an &quot;image&quot; of your entire device.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Now that you're safe from screwing anything up beyond repair, go ahead and use TitaniumBackup to backup all your system settings and your user apps (I usually don't backup system apps as this might cause problems). Backups will be saved on your /sdcard/ and will not disappear when you wipe.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;(Before this step, make sure you have the ROM zip files on your sdcard, otherwise you'll have to add them via ADB) Go into CWM Recovery and wipe your device (cache and data). Remember, /sdcard/ is still fine. Now install your shiny new ROM.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;When you've booted your new ROM, install TitaniumBackup first of all. It will recognize that there's already TitaniumBackup files on the sdcard (from before), and you'll be able to batch install your apps and restore system settings.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some advice on restoring backups: be conservative. Start by restoring apps &lt;em&gt;without&lt;/em&gt; user data, as old data may break the app. If somethings missing and it annoys you, restore &lt;em&gt;that app only&lt;/em&gt; with data.

Though, as you discovered, most really good solutions require your device to be rooted, there are some methods working even without root:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Autorun Manager&lt;/a&gt; you've already mentioned -- to my experience, this is the best app in this area. This app also offers a non-root mode you might want to give a try. But like other apps in non-root mode, it can only kill apps after they've started -- while in rooted mode, it can disable the corresponding &quot;Listeners&quot; and thus keeping the app from being started at all. Even if killed right away, many of those apps simply re-start again (which is detected by ARM, and that app then left alone to avoid a kill-start-kill cycle). Moreover, they can only handle the &lt;code&gt;boot_completed&lt;/code&gt; event -- but some apps (like e.g. Google Maps) start on so many different occasions (network changed, sdcard mounted...) -- where again the Pro-Version in root-mode can deal with, but the non-root mode can't.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you've got Android 4.0 or higher, there might be another useful &quot;work-around&quot; -- at least if it's a rarely used app: Go to &lt;em&gt;Settings&amp;rarr;Apps&amp;rarr;Manage Apps&lt;/em&gt;, scroll to the app in question, tap it once, and then tap the &quot;Disable&quot; button. App is gone (disabled) then, no longer shown in the app drawer -- and no longer started automatically or manually, as to the system it is &quot;non existent&quot;. If you need it again later, go to the very same place, scroll to the very end of the list (Ah! there the disabled apps have gone to...), tap it again, and tap the &quot;Enable&quot; button -- back it is!&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As this is a rather complicated way, it's probably not feasable for apps you need on a daily basis. But if it's an app you need no more often than once a month, it might be worth the effort.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some related questions go deeper into details, many of them including stuff only relevant for rooted devices.

You need an MHL converter, or adapter, or something. On one end of the adapter, all resources say, there is a &quot;standard micro-USB&quot; port, and on the other a &quot;standard HDMI port&quot;. If they are all so standard, what's the fuzz about 5-pins vs. 11-pins? The HDMI port must be standard for all displays to work with it I guess, so it must be something on the (apparently not so standard) micro-USB side in the phone. Looking in my phone, I can only see a 4-pins female micro-USB connector. Or are these 11 pins (I have a Galaxy Note II) buried somewhere deeper inside?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Secondly, there is often talk about this &quot;switch&quot; that's thrown as soon as an MHL adapter is connected. USB-OTG is disabled and it becomes a display input/output port only (input for the remote control, if available). I guess that means it's not possible to connect it through a USB hub to the phone? I need a bluetooth mouse and keyboard instead of a USB mouse and keyboard if I want to do this? Or is this only applicable for the 5-pins MHL devices, and is the point of the 11-pins one that I can connect my USB hub to the micro-USB port on the adapter?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Thirdly, I've also seen USB 2.0 to HDMI converters. They're twice as expensive as MHL, but they have a normal USB connection and output HDMI, so that would fit directly in my USB hub. (MHL would also fit through a microUSB-&gt;USB converter, but it seems there is something special about the micro-USB end that I don't get.) The question is whether my phone (a Galaxy Note II) has drivers for that kind of hardware, and whether the hub is fast enough. Any ideas?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Lastly, if anyone knows this, I'm curious about how this works on the inside. The graphics chip of the phone sends the video-out to its micro-USB port, just like it would with HDMI, or does it have some custom protocol that the MHL adapter then converts to HDMI? What about HDCP, how can you prevent someone from reading the output stream if every TV in the world can decrypt it already?

I had this idea of using an android device with a usb barcode reader connected (which basically acts like a keyboard) and an in-house developed app, for stock management in a warehouse.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The first step was to buy the OTG cable. The second was to start testing peripherals connected our existing Android devices.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The problem:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I connect any USB device to a Huawei Y201 Pro (4.0), there is no feedback from the device. No error, no response from the input, nothing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;When I connect mouse to a Galaxy S II, it recognizes the usb cable, then a cursor appears on screen and all works great. However, when I connect a keyboard (I tried around 5 so far), a notification says that the cable was connected but right after that it says that no devices are connected.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My question:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there something I'm missing to make this work?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If not, some secondary follow up questions: What are the things I should look for in making this idea work?

(I am not using the original USB cable) &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Update 2: I managed to fix the bootloop by reinstalling the ROM using &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;    adb shell&#xA;    recovery --update_package=/sdcard/cmupdater/cm-10.1-20130121-EXPERIMENTAL-crespo-M1.zip&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Still would like to know how to install CWM touch.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="28733" LastEditorUserId="28733" LastEditDate="2013-02-20T13:14:35.850" LastActivityDate="2013-02-24T19:01:37.450" Title="bootloop without power button" Tags="&lt;samsung-nexus-s&gt;&lt;adb&gt;&lt;recovery-mode&gt;" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I flashed the custom driver which fixes the timing issue on newer card and now I can get up to 12MB write/ 25MB read, no write drops, and makes a it a great swap partition.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Try to find a custom driver hack for your nook, but you will be taking big risks because you will be modifying a very low-level part of your device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="28820" LastActivityDate="2013-02-21T04:45:23.940" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Here are the juicy bits, modified slightly for clarity:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;You must be rooted and running a custom ROM that supports 4G toggling (i.e. &lt;a href=&quot;http://aokp.co/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;AOKP&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;  &#xA;  &lt;ul&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 1:&lt;/strong&gt; Download &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Secure Settings&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 2:&lt;/strong&gt; Open the app, go to Options and scroll down to Custom ROM Actions and ensure that &quot;LTE&quot; is checked&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 3:&lt;/strong&gt; Open up Tasker and create a profile entitled &quot;4G On&quot; and choose your first context (App = Chrome)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 4:&lt;/strong&gt; Click New Task at the top of the tasks list and name it 4G On.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 5:&lt;/strong&gt; Click the + button and scroll to Plugins and you will see Secure Settings. Click it.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 6:&lt;/strong&gt; You will see edit configuration; click edit&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 7:&lt;/strong&gt; Now you will see a list of the options you have enabled in Secure Settings. We care about 4G, so scroll down to LTE and click it. Then it will ask you what state you want LTE to be in. This is the 4G On profile, so click On. Save and apply the task.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 8:&lt;/strong&gt; Repeat steps 3-7, but now choose the context you want for 4G to be off, name your profile and task 4G Off, and when you get to the configuration settings in Secure Settings, make sure you check Off for the state of LTE.

The &lt;code&gt;/data/local&lt;/code&gt; directory should be readable by all processes (so no root needed to list its contents), as it is used as a kind of &quot;temporary directory&quot; for a lot of things (you might think of it as a &quot;misnamed&quot; &lt;code&gt;/tmp&lt;/code&gt; directory).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This directory should be &quot;cleaned up&quot; on reboot&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, so your issue might rather be a broken &lt;code&gt;.apk&lt;/code&gt; in &lt;code&gt;/data/app&lt;/code&gt;.

But since many users don't want to pay for apps, or at least don't want to buy a pig in a poke (the Playstore's return window of 15 minutes is far to small to really evaluate an app), developers include modules for different ad networks to at least get some revenue for their work. While this is an absolute justified thing to do, it sometimes is causing worries or even issues -- due to the fact either how certain ad modules work, or what they have access to.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A list of available ad networks can be found e.g. at &lt;a href=&quot;http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4425584/admob-alternatives&quot; title=&quot;List of ad networks at StackOverflow&quot;&gt;StackOverflow&lt;/a&gt;, and you will see it's quite long (and you might never have guessed that there are so many of them). All of them need to access the internet for obvious reasons (to obtain ad content), but most have an alarming combination of permissions they request (e.g. accessing personal information such as IMEI to identify you, and the location for &quot;matching ads&quot; -- which would even allow them to track you). Combined with unsecure data transmission to the ad networks server, this should be enough to rise some worries. An overview for some of those combinations can be found on page 4 of the document &lt;a href=&quot;http://mostconf.org/2012/papers/27.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Investigating User Privacy in Android Ad Libraries&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And then there are some specialities like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.airpush.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Airpush&lt;/a&gt;, which are clearly an intrusion into privacy: Suddenly you see ads pop up in your notification area (sometimes not even identifyable as such, but might be mistaken as system notifications for urgent actions to take), or additional icons to apps you've never installed appear on your homescreen. While a developer should certainly have the right to see some revenue for his work, ads should be restricted to appear &lt;em&gt;within the application&lt;/em&gt;. Luckily there are ways to identify and get rid of stuff like that (e.g. the app &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;AirPush Detector&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What this tag is intended for&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you have issues with ads appearing somewhere on your device where you have no reason to expect them, and want to identify the cause so you can get rid of it: That's a good reason to pick this tag.

Some modders swaps compiled modules from another device with similar hardware into a base image that is known to work on their device; this is essentially trial and error though because there's no guarantee it will work at all. In some extreme cases, there has been times where modders felt that the manufacturer has done an extremely poor job on certain driver and rewrite the entire driver from scratch.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In any of these methods, you need to be very familiar with both kernel and the hardware on the device. It's generally easier if the manufacturer released vanilla images and/or their compilation settings.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unlike the compiled binaries, APKs are generally interchangeable though, because they are compiled in Dalvik instead of ARM.

The problem here is that (1) After opening Google Now you need to tap the search field before you can start typing, (2) because of the google search suggestions, the actual matching applications are hidden behind the onscreen keyboard and (3) to really search all the 'catalogs' you need to tap 'search tablet'.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Google from homescreen: I can also press the google search button on the homescreen of the Nexus 7. The result is similar to opening Google Now, except that the search field immediately gets the cursor-focus.

Of course you can make it even more detailed, and letting it check every X minutes whether signal quality has improved. It might be a little tricky to set up first (especially when one is not used to &lt;em&gt;Tasker&lt;/em&gt;) -- but once it works, and you figure out what else can be done with that app, you don't want to miss it. An example how this could look like can be found in &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/29447/16575&quot;&gt;What is &lt;em&gt;Cell standby&lt;/em&gt; and how can I keep it from eating my battery?&lt;/a&gt; -- a little different topic, but a similar idea behind it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You might also take a look at similar apps.

This is best explained using an example:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Say you click on a URL in some text. The app will then invoke an intent called &lt;code&gt;ACTION_VIEW&lt;/code&gt; and pass it the URL. The system will &quot;broadcast&quot; this intent to all apps having listeners established for &lt;code&gt;ACTION_VIEW&lt;/code&gt; for URLs (in this case, usually web browsers). As long as only one app responds, it immediately gets the task and starts the appropriate activity (opening the corresponding web page).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But you might have multiple browsers installed. In this case, the system does not know which one should be used -- and pops up a query to the user: &quot;Open with...&quot;, listing all corresponding apps. Now the user might chose to check the box to &quot;always use&quot; this app: Doing so, the user defined a &lt;strong&gt;default application&lt;/strong&gt; for this specific action, and the system will not ask again for this the next time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;How to define a &quot;default application&quot;?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As described in the previous paragraph: Simply check the &quot;Use by default for this action&quot; bos when asked which app to use for this action.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/rvHme.png&quot; alt=&quot;Declare a default application&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;How to &lt;em&gt;undefine&lt;/em&gt; a &quot;default application&quot;?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This can be done in &lt;em&gt;Settings&amp;rarr;Apps&amp;rarr;Manage Apps&lt;/em&gt;: Scroll the list to find the current default app, and press the &quot;Clear defaults&quot; button.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/Zz4FA.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Clear default application&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Are there alternatives to manage default apps?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Of course there are, and more than one.

The reason for this is that the Legend's bootloader did not originally ship with unlocking capabilities, so you need to upgrade to the version that added it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, the HTCdev site will give you an RUU to run, but since it's an .exe file it won't do you much good on Linux (even with wine it probably will balk). However, you can perform a manual flash instead:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Download this &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mediafire.com/?xy8zup74wajy5y5&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;LEGEIMG.zip&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; file. This is the new 1.02 bootloader packaged as a zip.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Copy the zip file to the &lt;strong&gt;root&lt;/strong&gt; of your SD card (as in, not in any subfolders)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Reboot to your bootloader however you like (&lt;code&gt;adb reboot bootloader&lt;/code&gt; works, for example)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;When HBOOT starts up it should tell you that it found an upgrade package on the SD card. Check the on-screen prompt and select &quot;Yes&quot; to let it flash the zip.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Reboot your phone into your bootloader again and verify that it's been updated to version 1.02. At this point you can follow the HTCdev unlocking instructions.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;Regarding this file: &quot;eldarerathis&quot;, you say, &quot;I'm sure you're a trustworthy chap and all, but how do I know that this Mediafire download is legit?&quot; Well, since your bootloader is currently &lt;em&gt;locked&lt;/em&gt;, it will only flash images that have been digitally signed by HTC. Since modifying the contents of the zip file would invalidate the signature, you can rest assured that it is genuine and has not been tampered with.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For complete instructions, including how to actually get the zip from the RUU yourself (which requires Windows), refer to &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22613990&amp;amp;postcount=62&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this XDA post&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="981" LastActivityDate="2013-02-28T00:33:32.850" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I have an &lt;strong&gt;LG Marquee&lt;/strong&gt; with &lt;em&gt;Boost Mobile&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A few hours ago, I opened up my gallery and the screen froze, then a force-close option popped up (which happens a lot with this phone so I'm used to it &amp;amp; thought it'd just force-close &amp;amp; then go back to normal as usual). Instead, the screen went blank &amp;amp; the blue icons (home, options, back, search) started flashing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My phone had restarted completely: I had no service, my wallpaper was blank, etc. My phone does this a lot actually, but will just go back to normal. This time it started up normal, but the SD card icon appeared on my notifications bar &amp;amp; it read &amp;quot;checking SD card for errors&amp;quot;. Typically this would occur but then the &amp;quot;Media Scanner is Running&amp;quot; icon would appear &amp;amp; my phone would be fine. The &amp;quot;media scanner running&amp;quot; pop up never appeared, and the blue icons just started flashing again as the screen went blank, only to reboot once again.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My phone kept rebooting itself repeatedly for about an hour every minute or two (making it impossible to make a call or send a text!!) Then I finally just turned it off. Every time it'd reboot, it'd last a couple minutes &amp;amp; the &amp;quot;media scanner running&amp;quot; pop up would come up, then it'd reboot all over again. Seems as though the media scanner triggers the reboot :/&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After reading through many posts on the Internet about this issue, I tried a few things. In attempting to fix the problem, I realized that this issue has nothing to do with my phone itself or the battery - it's the SD card. I haven't dropped my phone at all lately and typically refrain from downloading extra apps that I really don't need. Mostly my SD card is taken up by photos, texts, videos, contacts, &amp;amp; three or four extra apps. The last app I downloaded was last night, it was a photo/gallery organizing app. When the reboots started occurring, I quickly uninstalled the app but it didn't fix the problem. The SD card doesn't look physically damaged at all, &amp;amp; neither does the small port it goes in. I use a 2GB micro SD card, the one that came with the phone when I bought it (not the best choice, I know, I just figured I could make due with it).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I can run my phone perfectly fine&lt;/strong&gt; without the impeccably annoying reboots occurring &lt;strong&gt;if I take the SD card out&lt;/strong&gt;. The problem is that I obviously need my pictures and videos and other apps, etc. I had quite a few photos and videos, all of which I would be completely devastated and flat out pi**ed off to lose (especially because I had a lot of photos of a close friend that passed away recently in my gallery. Losing those would really make me sooo mad!) All I can do on my phone right now is access the internet, make calls, texts but I have none of my pics/vids &amp;amp; almost none of my apps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please help me!! Not only do I want my media and apps back, the constant rebooting is a level of annoying I can't even begin to describe!!

As this is already made clear enough, I will focus on some counter-measures with my answer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One thing to make it harder was already mentioned in &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/a/20096/16575&quot;&gt;Lie's answer&lt;/a&gt;: encrypting the device will make it harder to access the data. But there are several more things. If you e.g. leave &lt;em&gt;USB Debugging&lt;/em&gt; on, you make it &lt;em&gt;easier&lt;/em&gt; for the thief to access your device, so it's a good precaution to keep that turned &lt;em&gt;off&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Already named in several answers are several anti-thief apps available on the playstore. There's e.g. &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Cerberus Anti-Theft&lt;/a&gt; (one week free trial, then ~EUR 3) which gives you a lot of possibilities, remotely controlling your device to locate and track it, set off a loud alarm, record audio from the microphone, and even remotely wipe the phone (to destroy all stored data). Similar functionality is offered by &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidlost&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Android Lost&lt;/a&gt; (available for free -- also see the video on that app's playstore page). Both are even using a &amp;quot;stealth-mode&amp;quot;, so a thief can not easily find and uninstall them. A good thing about &lt;em&gt;Android Lost&lt;/em&gt; is you even can remotely install and activate it if your phone already is lost -- as long it is still online and connected to your Google account.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Summary&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So in short and summed up: Yes, a thief can get access to your data -- but there are means of making this at least very hard, or even limit the time frame he has for his &amp;quot;bad deed&amp;quot;. Several things to consider on this background:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Don't store sensitive data on your mobile device in the first place, if you can avoid it. What's not there cannot be taken.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Chose secure apps which are proven to encrypt sensitive data (and not store it plain-text). See e.g. viaForensic's &lt;a href=&quot;https://viaforensics.com/appwatchdog&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;appWatchdog&lt;/a&gt; (viaForensics is a forensic company which also keeps an eye on mobile security. Andrew Hoog's book &lt;em&gt;Android Forensics and mobile security&lt;/em&gt; gives a good insight on this topic)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Don't leave &lt;em&gt;USB Debugging&lt;/em&gt; always turned on in your device&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Consider device encryption&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Consider using an anti-theft app such as e.g. &lt;em&gt;Cerberus&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;Android Lost&lt;/em&gt; (there are several more with good ratings) which also uses a &lt;em&gt;stealth mode&lt;/em&gt; and thus is not easily found and uninstalled. In conjunction with this: Act fast and wise if your device is lost (e.g. first try to locate it before doing a wipe: it might very well be you simply forgot it on the kitchen table)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Also don't forget the &amp;quot;obvious stuff&amp;quot;: Don't leave your Andy alone on the pub table while going to toilet, for example :) It's harder to steal it from clothes you're wearing then when lying around or being stored in a jacket hanging on the warderobe.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2013-03-02T11:43:39.417" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If it's not, see at the end of this answer for some hints.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Everybody: Copy &lt;code&gt;IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk&lt;/code&gt; to your Optimus (e.g. after connecting it via USB in MTP mode, copy the file to the internal SDCard)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Everybody: Create a new directory, unzip &lt;code&gt;o4xr.zip&lt;/code&gt; there, and change into this directory.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;The rooting process&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;On your Optimus, go to &lt;em&gt;Settings&amp;rarr;Security&lt;/em&gt; and make sure &quot;Unknown Sources&quot; is TICKED (i.e. contains a checkmark)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Go to &lt;em&gt;Settings&amp;rarr;Developer Options&lt;/em&gt; and enable &quot;USB Debugging&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Now install &lt;code&gt;IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk&lt;/code&gt; (e.g. use a file explorer to find and &quot;launch&quot; it)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Open the &quot;SystemBackupTest&quot; app you just installed. Nothing spectacular will happen, so don't be disappointed here.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Hold the power button and choose &quot;Power off and restart&quot;.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;When you can see the lock screen, you may notice that the phone is running very slowly, this is normal.&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Once the device is fully started up again, connect it to your computer with an USB cable. Make sure the phone is in &quot;Charging Only&quot; mode.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;On your PC, open a terminal (Linux) resp. command (&lt;code&gt;cmd.exe, Windows) window and change into the directory you've extracted&lt;/code&gt;o4xr.zip` into.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;(on Windows, you may need admin privileges: right click, run as administrator. On Linux it did fine for me without superuser/root permissions)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Now run the rooting script:&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Windows users: type &lt;code&gt;root&lt;/code&gt; followed by the enter key&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Linux users: type &lt;code&gt;./root-linux.sh&lt;/code&gt;, also followed by the enter key&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Any Mac users? Type &lt;code&gt;./root-mac.sh&lt;/code&gt;, also followed by the enter key. Don't worry, it won't root your Mac/Linux machine (Windows users: it is unlikely to root your box, either :)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE WHILE THE SCRIPT RUNS!&lt;/strong&gt; Wait while it does its job. During that process, the phone will reboot automatically a couple of times. The script will inform you about this in your command/terminal window. Once the command/shell prompt returns, the misdeed is accomplished :)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Now uninstall &lt;code&gt;SystemBackupTest&lt;/code&gt; from your Optimus. &lt;strong&gt;Do not launch it again at this state,&lt;/strong&gt; or you might have to start over from step 5 :)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;On your phone, open up Google Play Store and search for &quot;SuperSU&quot;. Update the app when prompted, then open it. Press OK to update the SU binary.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You now have root and can safely restore the &quot;Unknown Sources&quot; and &quot;USB debugging&quot; settings back to how you had them!

The example data of course should exactly fit the &lt;em&gt;LG Optimus P880&lt;/em&gt; this question deals with.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;open a terminal window, and make yourself root (&lt;code&gt;sudo su -&lt;/code&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;enter the following command: &lt;code&gt;lsusb&lt;/code&gt;. Note the output in your mind.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;connect your device &lt;strong&gt;with USB Debugging enabled&lt;/strong&gt; using an USB cable.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;again issue the &lt;code&gt;lsusb&lt;/code&gt; command. Now it should output an additional line which has to be the just connected Android device. For the &lt;em&gt;LG Optimus P880&lt;/em&gt;, this should read like:&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;code&gt;Bus 002 Device 103: ID 1004:61a6 LG Electronics, Inc.&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;code&gt;1004&lt;/code&gt; is the vendor ID for LG, &lt;code&gt;61a6&lt;/code&gt; the device ID of the P880 in USB Debugging mode.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;use your favorite editor (still in root mode!) and open &lt;code&gt;/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules&lt;/code&gt; (if no such file exists, simply create it). Add the below lines (first line is optional), and then save the file.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;restart the UDEV daemon: &lt;code&gt;service udev restart&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now you just need to disconnect your device. When reconnecting it for the next time, &lt;code&gt;adb&lt;/code&gt; will see it -- as you can confirm with the &lt;code&gt;adb devices&lt;/code&gt; command.

Basically, for every contact, I stored their regular number as well as a Google Voice number. The GV number was my &lt;em&gt;own&lt;/em&gt; GV number, followed by a &lt;code&gt;wait&lt;/code&gt;, then a &lt;code&gt;2&lt;/code&gt;, another &lt;code&gt;wait&lt;/code&gt;, and finally followed by the contact's number and a pound key. In effect, I made a macro.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Ex ( My #: 1234567890, Bob's number: 19876543210): &lt;br /&gt;&#xA;Contact: &lt;code&gt;Bob&lt;/code&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&#xA;Primary: &lt;code&gt;19876543210&lt;/code&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&#xA;Secondary: &lt;code&gt;1234567890W2W19876543210#&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If you only have a few contacts that you wish to call via your Google Voice number, this option is very simple. It does add some extra time to call them, as your phone doesn't connect directly to your contact, but rather connects to Google Voice, then &quot;manually&quot; dials the contact's number.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Note that you must have certain settings set up in Google Voice (the website, not the app) so that when you call your own number, you get the Google Voice menu system instead of leaving yourself a message. Also, if you require a PIN for your specific phone, you'll have to modify the setting, or add a PIN to the macro dial string.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;FYI, this was how I got unlimited (outgoing) minutes as well. Since I could choose up 5 numbers to dial without using minutes, I simply chose my own Google Voice number as one of the five. Since all my calls went through GV, my carrier  simply saw me dialing the same number all the time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Option 2 - Add a widget to simplify Google Voice&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Google Voice app has several widgets, and one of them is a 1x1 icon that rotates between the 4 calling options: &lt;code&gt;Always use Google Voice&lt;/code&gt;,&lt;code&gt;Only for International Calls&lt;/code&gt;,&lt;code&gt;Ask Everytime&lt;/code&gt;, and &lt;code&gt;Never use Google Voice&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is the option I used to prefer, and I have actually used this in the past. It is very useful to quickly switch phone numbers, and you don't need to go through the hassle of opening the Google Voice app and finding the specific setting. Just click the widget until it is on the setting you want, and call from there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Option 3 - Use Titanium Backup Pro to make a separate profile&lt;/h1&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With the paid version of Titanium Backup, you can create multiple profiles for apps, essentially giving you the ability to have multiple users. This is the option I use currently, as it reduces the number of clicks I need, and it allows me to have multiple profiles on a specific set of apps I want (such as games, lists, and Google Voice). I can switch from my Normal profile to my Guest profile (for example) so that I can hand off my phone to a family member to play games without messing up my own progress.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Set up a second profile that has Google Voice on for all calls, and make your primary profile never ask. When you want to use google voice, just switch profiles.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;There are other apps that let you do multiple profiles, and I know some of them are free if you only want a total of 2 profiles.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="11190" LastEditorUserId="11190" LastEditDate="2013-03-04T03:05:48.440" LastActivityDate="2013-03-04T03:05:48.440" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

CyanogenMod is based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and none of the TouchWiz apps will work there.

Before Teamviewer I used several of the pocket VNC versions you can find for Android.  Some of those version have grayscale options.  The drawback is you will have to forward a port on your router to get VNC to go through.

A bit hacky, as you have two apps ringing (native dialer and the second app you chose), but it is an option.

I've had this installed for almost 1 year now, and haven't made any updates or installed any apps for months.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A few days ago, I connected the phone to my laptop to transfer some stuff, and I noticed that the touch screen wasn't responding. Neither did the Android buttons, which I suspect use the same touch sensor as the screen. Everything else seemed fine, physical buttons (power, volume) work ok, the phone is detected when connected to usb, notifs on screen and such work ok.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After multiple trial &amp;amp; errors, I've discovered that if I shut down my phone, and re-start it, when it gets to the screen where I must input my SIM Pin code, the touch screen is still not working, but if I wait like 1-2 minutes, it starts working. From here on end it works fine until I close (lock) the phone. At that point if I press the power button to unlock it, the lock screen is unoperable as the touch screen no longer responds. I can re-do this over and over.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My question is then: anyone has an idea what this can be and how to fix it? For example on my Asus tablet, there's a hard reset option (hold volume down and power while rebooting). I've used this to cure that Asus tablet of the fact that sound was no longer working all of a sudden. I haven't managed to find a similar option for Optimus LG 2x. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, is it safe to assume that the screen is not phisically broken, since a reboot and 2-3 minutes of waiting makes it so that it works just fine?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;=== UPDATE&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This really sucks. I've whiped everything and installed the latest cyanogen mod. Still the same issue. Simply put: the screen has to stay on for like 2-3 minutes before the touch starts to work.

As it showing wrong percentages.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I read some of the blogs related to this issue.. Battery indicator is not a hardware related thing.. its a back ground service that is technically always running but is essentially always sleeping and using basically no system resources (because it doesn't do any polling -- it just sleeps and waits to be notified by the OS when something changes), then when the battery charge (or plugged-in status) changes, the system wakes it up and tells it what the new battery charge (and status) is. Then it takes just a few milliseconds to change its icon to reflect the current charge (and status) and goes back to sleep. So i think there is no hardware issue..&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also did software repair from sony pc companion..

SwipeSwitcher is a very simple app which just adds a small invisble overlay on the left and right edges of the screen. It let's you configure each overlay to launch an app (or go the the previous/next app in the default configuration). So I configured the left edge to launch QuickDroid and kept the right edge at the default config.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;Now I can quickly launch QuickDroid by swiping from the left edge of the screen. To launch an app all I do now is swipe, type 2 - 3 characters, and select the app. And as an added bonus, I can quickly go back to the previous app by swiping from the right edge of the screen. So far I really like this very simple solution.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;It's similar to other suggested solutions such as FlipLauncher and SwipePad, except that SwipeSwitcher does not replace the homescreen and immediately launches one single app.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I also had a look at &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=google.launcher&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Google Search Launcher&lt;/a&gt;, as that promised to be exactly what I wanted to use the Android built-in Tablet search. However, this really just launches the Google Search, so it is still not in 'tablet search mode' by default and still shows search suggestions.

That is described &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/38388/what-do-the-permissions-that-applications-require-mean&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;However in turn the prerequisites for that are that you sign with the system key, and you install your app into /system/app.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, if you're OK with that, here's some code:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;   IBinder b = ServiceManager.getService(USB_SERVICE);&#xA;   IUsbManager service = IUsbManager.Stub.asInterface(b);&#xA;   service.grantDevicePermission(mDevice, uid);&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;mDevice&lt;/code&gt; is the device from before.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;uid&lt;/code&gt; is your own app's UID and you can look that up. An example of how to do that is the first answer &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6875916/how-to-get-uid-value-of-an-android-application-from-a-list-displayed-in-a-spinne&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All good? No. &lt;code&gt;ServiceManager&lt;/code&gt; is &lt;code&gt;android.os.ServiceManager&lt;/code&gt; and thus isn't a public API. That, in this example, is your way to getting your hands on the &lt;code&gt;IUsbManager&lt;/code&gt; service (there may be other routes). Now, getting around &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; is beyond the scope of my answer; in the old days you could use reflection, but I don't know if you still can.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;After all of those shenanigans, it looks like you don't need to request permission any more, and if you do, it will return immediately with no dialog.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="29818" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-05-23T12:40:31.250" LastActivityDate="2013-03-08T17:40:36.977" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It supports both RDP (Microsoft Windows, built into the OS) and VNC (cross platform, if you have a Linux computer or Apple toy you want to view/control, or you prefer VNC on Windows) protocols.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Either RDP or VNC will work over a local network and, if you have proper firewall configuration and DNS setup, can be used over the public internet as well with reasonable security.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;VNC&lt;/strong&gt; requires a server to be running on the computer you wish to control. There are several &quot;flavors&quot; of VNC out there, and many of them are free (as in beer).

In later version of Windows it is disabled by default.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The good thing about both these tools is that they are protocols, not confined app systems. As in, you don't need a Microsoft App on your Android tablet to view an RDP session, and you can install any VNC viewer app on your tablet/phone to view any type of VNC server. &lt;em&gt;(Note: With certain types of authentication in VNC, I've found some viewer apps don't work.

I've used it for around 3 months now and everything was working as normal until I left my battery to die whilst browsing online. The battery died overnight. In the morning, I charged my Nexus while attempting to use it at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What I found at first was that the device would boot right up until the lock screen, but the device would state there was 0% battery and shut down. I then continually powered the Nexus a couple of times just to make sure it wasn't a minor hitch. Then, I noticed that the Nexus was actually looping from Boot to the X to the lock screen then back off. At one point, it was going to a static fuzzy screen then holding there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I did a little research and tried to boot it up via the &lt;kbd&gt;Volume up + power&lt;/kbd&gt; method. After I tried this, the multi-colored X just holds on start up. It shows the white Google logo, then the Nexus logo and hangs there. I found out that the device could be &quot;Soft bricked&quot; and needs some sort of wipe. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But here is my main concern:&lt;/strong&gt; I never thought the device would break after three months, so I never really backed up any photos.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I really would like to find a way to access the folders on the Nexus while it is soft bricked or fix the device without losing the photos. I'm even prepared to rip apart the device voiding any warranties and look for the memory card or whatever is inside. Under normal circumstances. I would just accept a loss, but these photos are of my baby where I haven't had my camera at hand. It has photos of her first moments, so they are worth a lot in sentimental value. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

No matter if it shows &quot;220 MB available&quot;, as a normal user cannot make any use of that &quot;free space&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;internal storage (&lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;): This is where the user installs his apps, and where all the user data reside. Most crucial part, and the place where your report states &quot;11 MB free&quot; -- which most likely will trigger the &quot;insufficient memory&quot; error, see &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/insufficient-memory&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged 'insufficient-memory'&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;insufficient-memory&lt;/a&gt;). To free up space here, you can do things like...&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;uninstall apps you once installed but no longer need (most efficient part)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;move apps to SDCard (see &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/app2sd&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged 'app2sd'&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;app2sd&lt;/a&gt;). Apps must explicitly support this (though there are root-methods to enforce the others, it might have side-effects). Still, parts of those apps will remain here -- unless using things like &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/link2sd&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged 'link2sd'&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;link2sd&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cleanup cache (only temporarily helps, as cache will fillup again)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;internal SDCard: Some devices (not all) offer this as additional storage. App2SD may move apps to this place. Aside from that, you can store files here (documents, media files, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;external SDCard: No need to explain this one, right?&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Unless you really know what you are doing, you should &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; manually change the partitioning (e.g. to move some free space from &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;). You might break things, especially future updates (where the Android system may need more space than it currently does).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;SDCard&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just a short note on that. While one should no longer &quot;save money&quot; buying anything below class-4, additional money for class-10 might be &quot;wasted&quot;. My recommendation is to go for class-6 as the best compromise between speed and spent money. Compare the specs for read speed and write speed between class-6 and class-10 when in doubt. If you still want to go for class-10, make sure your device supports it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Swap&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Controversely discussed nowadays. Depends very much on how much (physical) RAM you have available in your device, and what kind of apps you use. I tend to say with recent hardware and a recent Android version (2.3 and higher) there's no need to go for swap. The Android system does a good job on handling memory, and if your device has 1 GB (or more) RAM available, I do not see where swap would improve performance. But as said, that also might depend on what apps you are using.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also for your question concerning Swapper: Keep in mind that &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;swap&lt;/a&gt; only creates &quot;temporary data&quot;. So with &quot;swap broken&quot;, you could simply de-activate it without losing data (as it holds no permanent data).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Partitioning&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As said above, I do not recommend to touch this yourself unless you are really experienced with it. Rather leave it to the &quot;experts&quot;. Especially I would never make the &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt; partition smaller, for given reasons: you might encounter problems with future updates -- not only with newer Android versions, but also with different ROMs, as different ROMs also go with different selections of pre-installed apps.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;File system types&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I cannot imagine any tutorial recommending FAT32 for &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; -- you must have misread that. I even doubt FAT32 would work here, as it IMHO does not allow for the Unix permissions to be supported and required by &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;. However, FAT32 is recommended for the &quot;data part&quot; of the SDCard, for compatibility reasons: it is the file system readable by most operating systems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The &quot;App partition&quot; usually is &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;, and many ROMs use ext4 here (some older ones might still use YAFFS2 instead).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;But coming to that point, I'm pretty sure you misunderstood the &quot;targets&quot; -- and &quot;App partition&quot; versus &quot;Data partition&quot; is referring to the &lt;em&gt;SDCard&lt;/em&gt;, which brings us to the last point of your question:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Partitioning the SDCard&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is usually not required but optional, and makes only sense in combination with either &lt;em&gt;App2SD+&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;Link2SD&lt;/em&gt; to move apps out of the &quot;internal storage&quot; (see above) to gain free space in that most crucial place. It might need a little additional information:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Some apps support App2SD to move larger parts to the SDCard. However, with &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_mass_storage_device_class&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;USB Mass Storage&lt;/a&gt; (UMS), when you connect your device via USB to a computer the entire SDCard would be &quot;moved&quot; there, and apps as well as data residing on it become &quot;inaccessible&quot; to the device itself. This is one of the reasons some apps will not support App2SD -- especially when providing widgets and/or services. Several approaches exist to circumvent this problem:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;App2SD+ / Link2SD use a second partition on the SDCard. Android would only &quot;give away&quot; the first partition of the SDCard via UMS, so this second partition remains untouched, and its data/apps/... stay available to the device&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;switching away from UMS and using MTP (&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Media Transfer Protocol&lt;/a&gt;) instead, the card is no longer offered to the PC &quot;as a whole&quot; (i.e. including physical access), but in a logical way the computer is permitted to access files on it. So even while mounted via MTP, the device has full access to the card. This is what recent Android versions do -- though some users might have a hard time to get it working with their OS's where it's not always supported &quot;out-of-the-box&quot;.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; If you want to stay with UMS, a second partition on your SDCard might prove useful. Switching to MTP instead, there's no need for that anymore, unless you want to use App2SD+/Link2SD for other reasons (e.g. not only move the apps, but also their data/Dalvik cache).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastActivityDate="2013-03-09T16:31:52.777" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I know there are a lot of threads like this on the internet, but I want to go a bit deeper.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have an HTC Wildfire S with only 512 MB internal flash memory. This internal memory has a partition layout allocation around 130 MB for the &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; partition and around 290 MB for the &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt; partition. Both of them are full. (In addition I got a 16 GB SD-card.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Installing apps, upgrading apps, running most of the apps - impossible. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, I knew it's possible to move apps to SD-card, the so called &lt;strong&gt;apps2sd&lt;/strong&gt; procedure which offers very limited functionality to move &lt;em&gt;some&lt;/em&gt; of the application data to the SD-card. Anyways after moving every possible data to SD the internal memory was still full and the phone unusable.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.android-hilfe.de/anleitungen-fuer-htc-wildfire-s/290325-howto-permanent-root-link2sd-apps2sd-data2sd-init-d-deodexed-re-odex.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;reading&lt;/a&gt; about more sustainable methods like &lt;strong&gt;data2sd&lt;/strong&gt;. I gave it a try. I used the instructions from htcdev.com to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;unlock the bootloader&lt;/a&gt;, I &lt;a href=&quot;http://androidjinn.com/htc-wildfire-s-root-clockworkmod-recovery-installation.html/2&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;installed&lt;/a&gt; the latest ClockWorkMod Recovery and rooted the device permanently.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Finally, I used the rooted device to install &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/01/22/update-htc-wildfire-s-android-412-aokp-jelly-bean-custom-rom/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Android 4.1.2 AOKP Jelly Bean Custom ROM&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://a.ndroid.pro/2012/09/htc-wildfire-s%D9%96fed-up-of-the-low-internal-memory-make-a-new-large-room/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Data2SD&lt;/a&gt; like discribed in the linked articles. But I was stuck the device was not booting until I removed Data2SD. The AOKP-ROM was working pretty well and stable, but installing Data2SD simply did not work in combination with Jelly Bean (SD-card formatting: 11 GB FAT23, 4GB ext4 and 256 MB Swap).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now, I tried to go for the &lt;strong&gt;link2sd&lt;/strong&gt; approach. I reformatted my SD-card (14 GB FAT32 and 2GB ext4) and installed Link2SD on my phone as &lt;a href=&quot;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432459&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;described here&lt;/a&gt;. I was able to move additional data and apps to my SD-card and could link some apps to the card.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And now after some days playing around with all that usefull tipps from the internet, for example this thread: &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/2065/29916&quot;&gt;What can I do to manage my phone&amp;#39;s internal storage?&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;strong&gt;I am at the point where I started&lt;/strong&gt;.

By default, it is mounted read-only for several reasons (including &amp;quot;security&amp;quot;, so no app can tamper with anything here -- and the user cannot accidentally render the system unusable). This is also why a factory reset will present you with a &amp;quot;virgin system&amp;quot;: it will not touch this read-only partition.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Being mounted read-only makes it clear you cannot write things onto this partition -- which answers the question why you cannot make use of the &amp;quot;free space&amp;quot; it has. You might wonder why a read-only partition then is not &amp;quot;sized appropriately&amp;quot; -- but it is: it just takes into consideration that additional space might be needed for a system update. Future Android versions might (and most likely will) need more space, also providers might want to add more bloatware...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Why is there so little space at &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To put it in simple words: 180MB is all that was left after taking away the ~200MB for &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt;. The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_mini_s5570-3725.php&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot; title=&quot;Galaxy Mini S5570 Specs @ GSMArena&quot;&gt;Galaxy Mini S5570&lt;/a&gt; isn't a high-end device. And before you ask: No there's nothing you can do to increase the amount of overall storage available to &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; (at least nothing easy -- though some geeks might think of creating a bigger partition on the SDCard and mount it as &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;, this is nothing simple and also not without side-effects).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;What can be done?&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Nothing much. If your device is rooted, you could think of using a bigger SDCard (your device supports up to 32GB), and moving stuff over there with things like &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/link2sd&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged &amp;#39;link2sd&amp;#39;&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;link2sd&lt;/a&gt; or even &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rappsd.v1&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot; title=&quot;Data2SD App @ Google Play&quot;&gt;Data2SD&lt;/a&gt;. You can regularly clear your apps' caches and do some other cleanup. Or you can simply go for a new device which offers more storage (and more RAM, and a faster CPU).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know it's not very satisfying that a device, just being 2 years old (the S5570 was released to the market in February 2011) already is unable to keep up with daily needs. But unfortunately, 180MB storage (and 384MB RAM) really is not much to play around...

And also should be mentioned that lk contains the &lt;code&gt;fastboot&lt;/code&gt; protocol in preparation for flashing &lt;code&gt;/boot&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;/recovery&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; partitions. There are two sequences to boot, primary boot and secondary boot as it is:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Primary Boot -&amp;gt; lk (depending on outcome of logic)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Go into Secondary Boot -&amp;gt; &lt;code&gt;/boot&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;/recovery&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Side note:&lt;/strong&gt; Samsung is fond of the PBL/SBL (Which is Primary Boot Loader and Secondary Boot Loader respectively) in their jargon when it comes to modding. Thing about Samsung, is that, in some handsets, PBL and SBL may be encrypted (Samsung Wave GT-S8500 is one such example, where porting Android to it was nearly impossible to do because of the DRM within the boot loaders which was a nightmare to deal with and made modding it &lt;em&gt;extremely&lt;/em&gt; difficult, nonetheless, it is sort of working via an exploit in the FOTA code!)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is why there are no extra facilities such as OTG functionality or anything else such as serial communications, reading from SDCard, graphics etc as it would make the lk kernel bigger than is intended. In other words, it is the smallest possible size of kernel that is designated to do just the above pseudo-code happen.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also, another way of looking at it is this, and this is dependent on the Android version - the USB OTG functionality is fully &lt;em&gt;brought&lt;/em&gt; up within the Android environment, i.e when the familiar home screen appears, &lt;strong&gt;then&lt;/strong&gt; OTG's functionality is enabled.

Of course, if the user wishes he can &quot;un-freeze&quot; a frozen app at any time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please do not confuse this with a &quot;hanging app&quot; which no longer responds to user input – which is a completely different issue called &quot;ANR&quot; (Application Not Responding).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What is this good for?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;disabled apps do not automatically start (e.g. when you boot the device), and are no longer registered to broadcasts (i.e. they no longer react on stuff like &quot;network status changed&quot;, &quot;sd card mounted&quot;, etc.) – which saves battery and other resources.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;disabled apps are no longer shown in the app drawer or on your home screen – so less clutter&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What's it &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; good for?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;disabled apps are still installed on your device, so this won't gain you any space (apart from that: even if uninstalled, you would not be able to use the &quot;freed space&quot; as the apps are installed in the &lt;code&gt;/system&lt;/code&gt; partition, not in &quot;user space&quot;. However: If the &quot;disabled app&quot; has received updates, you now can delete those updates; as updates are stored in user-space, &lt;em&gt;this&lt;/em&gt; will gain you some storage.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Can I disable all pre-installed apps? Is there some danger to it?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, not all apps can be disabled – for some you will find the &quot;disable&quot; button unavailable or grayed out. It would e.g. make no sense at all to disable &quot;Android System&quot;: nothing would work anymore on your device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If the app-in-question offers an activated &quot;disable&quot; button and press it, you might have noticed a warning popping up: &lt;em&gt;If you disable a built-in app, other apps may misbehave. Your data will also be deleted.&lt;/em&gt; That warning is not always true – but yes, sometimes there are dependencies. If you're absolutely sure you don't need the given app, you can try anyway: You cannot disable any app which is really essential. So in the worst case, you re-enable the app and reboot – all that might be lost would be the app's data then.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Related tags:&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/bloatware&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged 'bloatware'&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;bloatware&lt;/a&gt;: Apps which manufacturers think to &quot;make users happy&quot;, but hardly anyone really wants to use. Still, they come pre-installed on our devices, and (with few exceptions) cannot be un-installed without rooting the device in question.

Each one only gets the minimal information necessary, so e.g. the exit node does know nothing about you except your wish to connect to the target and the data to exchange with it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/Dda1H.png&quot; alt=&quot;How TOR works&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;How TOR works (Source: &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_%28anonymity_network%29&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot; title=&quot;Wikipedia: Tor network&quot;&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;TOR for Android?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Yepp, available.

It's like a very serious lag that has to either be waited out, or the phone needs to be rebooted by force. Whenever this happens, my underlying apps still work, albeit laggily because CPU spikes through the roof but I cannot interact with my phone - it doesn't react to my touches. If I try forcing it, it only wastes more CPU power on, well, nothing. I am 100% certain that my touch screen is ok - it works as intended in all other cases. When it locks up (and it does so for 10 minutes at a time if not more - I hadn't had the patience to wait longer) I can pull out the battery and reboot that way. The curious thing is, however, that once put back in, the battery will have around 10% less charge in it, every time, unless I pull it out in the first 30 seconds of the lag. It's like its CPU spikes so high through the roof it uses up 10% of my battery in next to no time on operations I cannot identify.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have activated Show CPU Usage as I suspected the CPU might be overtaxed, and have come to the definitive conclusion that &lt;em&gt;every time&lt;/em&gt; these lockups happen, a huge blue bar appears in the Show CPU Usage graph.

Mind you, whenever this happens and my CPU is past 100%, none of the apps listed under the bar actually have a usage higher than 2%.

After a fews tests of 7 hours idle the battery was down 2 ~ 3% each time. But then I noticed in the battery graph, that the wi-fi still showed quite a lot of activity. This probably explains the difference in battery consumption with airplane-mode.&lt;br&gt;&#xA;I had expected the wi-fi to be completely disabled with this setting, and the wi-fi bar in the battery graph to be almost completely black. To see the difference I manually disabled the wi-fi and then the bar is indeed completely black (the right block in the image):&#xA;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/6A6ZO.png&quot; alt=&quot;enter image description here&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I would expect the wi-fi to be completely off when the screen is locked, but looking at this question: &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/25635/turning-on-wi-fi-on-demand&quot;&gt;Turning on Wi-Fi on demand&lt;/a&gt; that is apparently not how Android works. So now I'm wondering what the wi-fi is doing in this setting? Why does Android keep the wi-fi 'partly' enabled? If Android would still let apps do their syncing etc on a regular basis I would understand this, but this is not the case (Notifications don't come in &amp;amp; it even seems to cut off streaming etc), so it seems to only waste battery?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I first suspected a misbehaving app, but I checked with &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Wake lock detector&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.networklog&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;Network log&lt;/a&gt; but don't see any suspicious apps.&#xA;I guess I could use JuiceDefender or a similar app to completely disable the wi-fi when the screen is locked (and still let it sync from time to time), but that's not really the point of this question.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="29155" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:27.150" LastActivityDate="2013-03-15T23:12:13.377" Title="Wi-fi disabled during lock still partly active?

Apps may enable those ressources when needed by aquiring corresponding &quot;Wake-Locks&quot; (see: &lt;a href=&quot;/questions/tagged/wakelock&quot; class=&quot;post-tag&quot; title=&quot;show questions tagged 'wakelock'&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;wakelock&lt;/a&gt;), which they (hopefully!) don't do too often, and (again hopefully) release when no longer needed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Not having &quot;hibernated&quot; the system completely allows the system to quickly react on events like e.g. incoming calls, alarms, or the user switching on the display again. It simply needs to speed-up the CPU, and enable those ressources it &quot;put to sleep&quot;, if needed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Also keep in mind that Android devices (usually) don't have mechanical components like &quot;spinning hard-disks&quot;, so if storage is not accessed, it does not &quot;consume power&quot; :)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastActivityDate="2013-03-16T15:43:31.927" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Started about 2 weeks ago and varied between 3-4 times a day. In the beginning I thought this was due to a recently installed app and started uninstalling all my apps one by one. When this did not help, I backed up the data and did a data wipe/factory reset from the recovery startup (Vol Up + Home + Power). This did not help either. I then googled and found out about the SDS problem, but apparently, I was covered as I had the &lt;code&gt;XELLC&lt;/code&gt; build. Researching a bit more, I hit upon another solution that was suggested related to using the dummy file generator to fill up the internal SD card so that the problem which was guessed to be because of an I/O on a bad memory block would be fixed. So, here's what I did:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Uninstalled all the apps (did not help, problem re-occurred)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Did a hard reset (did not help, it froze again)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Used the dummy file generator (&lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.nomunomu.dummy&amp;amp;hl=en&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.nomunomu.dummy&amp;amp;hl=en&lt;/a&gt;) to fill up the remaining space on my internal SD. (The phone froze during this process. I restarted and created the dummy files again, twice)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;At this point, I did not have the freezing. I hard reset the phone again, just to be sure.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Next, while setting up the phone, I did not setup WiFi or add the Google account right away. I first completed the setup without adding any accounts, went to settings and turned off auto sync and then added the google account. (Something made me feel that was the problem.)

Since then, the phone has been working for 5 days in a row... so it seems like at least the reboots are gone (I hope not to jinx it...).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I've also noticed that since the reset, the battery lasts at least twice longer than before. I've fewer installed apps, which should lead to a &lt;em&gt;slight&lt;/em&gt; battery life improvement, but this isn't slight, it's the double. Before the reset, at night (no data connections, no WiFi), the phone consumed about 1% of its battery per hour. Now it's consuming less than 1% in the whole night. Obviously there was something wrong before the factory reset. I hope everything is fine now...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;In case it's helpful for anybody else, this what the Samsung Customer Service told me to do:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;ol&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Start the phone in Secure Mode for a couple of days&lt;/strong&gt;. That means that only preinstalled apps will work. So if that solves the problems, there is an app causing them. To enable Secure Mode, you have to reboot the phone, and press the options button (the left one) when the Samsung logo appears; it should vibrate, and then you will see &quot;Secure Mode&quot; at the left bottom corner. To disable Secure Mode, turn off the phone and extract the battery for a few seconds.&#xA;  --- &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;For Verizon GSIII phones&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: after you reboot the phone, press and hold the volume down button  when the Samsung logo appears.

You can use Samsung KIES for that backup.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the phone still has problems after the factory reset, it should be checked by Samsung Technical Service.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;  &lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="30192" LastEditorUserId="30192" LastEditDate="2013-11-29T09:38:47.767" LastActivityDate="2013-11-29T09:38:47.767" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Simply install it, and its settings should turn up at the place you've described.

You can still install it:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ol&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;on your laptop/pc, open a web browser and go to &lt;code&gt;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;log in with the credentials of the Google account you use on your device&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;click the &quot;Install&quot; button, accept the permissions for the app (they are OK)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;the keyboard will be pushed to your device&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ol&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Once the installation has finished (you can see this in your device's notification area), you can go to the described place (&lt;em&gt;Settings → Language and Input → Keyboards and Input methods&lt;/em&gt;) and make the new keyboard the default input method.

Yes, the other call will be treated as if you are receiving a call when you are on another on a single SIM phone. Depending on your settings and operator restrictions, you may have enabled call waiting and hence it will be displayed on your mobile screen. You can then hold one and switch to another.

I want to dial numbers that aren't on my contacts list.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Update:&lt;/b&gt; after some experimenting, I have found that:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;pressing the DIAL button with the field empty reloads the text field with the last number dialed, which can be a SIP number of the form sip:music@iptel.org. So I know the text field is &lt;em&gt;capable&lt;/em&gt; of handling text.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;trying to paste text into the field produces gibberish. For the above number, I get 7476874247835.674! (Which is what the letters on the dial pad map to. Except for : and @, which are emitted.)

And, it lets you define users and passwords, along with different services each user is allowed to access (view only, view and control, gps, etc).

I followed the instructions, but the factory reset failed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I rebooted the Nexus 10 and it just sits at the colourful 'X' forever.

No problem, I'll just flash CM from TWRP, right?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Well, I can get into fastboot from power + vol-, but fastboot is frozen. It doesn't matter if it's connected to my PC or not, I have &quot;start&quot; selected, and I cannot select anything else.

(after a little bit of preliminary set up, but after that it's very fast to use every time after that for the most part) - Really wish I didn't have to do all this setup in the first place and &quot;it just worked&quot; like the iPhone/iPad iOS simulator does with this kind of stuff, but (grumble, grumble...)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I run the free version of the Abyss web server (starts up in about 1 second on a fast computer) on my Mac.  I'm usually running it anyway as a test server and if it's not running, like I said its starts up in about a split second and it has extremely low overhead on CPU, memory, etc. - It's also nice that you can see that it's running in your Dock so you notice to shut it off when you don't need it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;BTW, I you can also do this with the built-in Apache web server (sudo apachectl start, etc.), MAMP, etc. but I don't do that with this for a variety of my own reasons.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, within the Abyss server (inside the root htdocs directory) I keep a basic html file called &quot;clip.html&quot; with the proper head tags, etc. so it can display via web browsers.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I then keep the &quot;clip.html&quot; file open in a text editor like BBEdit and paste whatever text I want to transfer to the AVD into the &quot;clip.html&quot; file's body area.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can then pull up the &quot;clip.html&quot; file on the AVD through my local IP address (because currently the AVD doesn't work with the &quot;localhost&quot; address... sigh).  For example while my iOS Simulator iPhone is perfectly happy with &lt;code&gt;localhost:8000/htdocs/clip.html&lt;/code&gt; , for Android's AVD's I have to instead quickly check to see which local DHCP IP address my computer is assigned to by my router and use that instead (CowTip: find it with Terminal: &lt;code&gt;ipconfig getifaddr en1&lt;/code&gt;). If you move around a lot with a laptop and it changes a lot, it might be good to use a different method with an external web server with a domain name and user/pass or use some other advanced techniques I won't get into here)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyway, aside from all that stuff, for example, this works where I'm located right now with my Abyss web server up and running:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;192.168.0.69:8000/htdocs/clip.html&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I then type that URL into the Android AVD's browser URL window, go to it and save it as a bookmark for future use.  As you probably already know, you'll need to config the AVD so it works with your keyboard to type it in.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;From now on (as long as my internal IP address doesn't change with my location), I just click on that bookmark and there's all the text that I've pasted into the body of the &quot;clip.html&quot; file.  If the text changes, I refresh the AVD's browser and there it is.  I can of course select it and copy the text within the AVD at this point. It even works with really old Android platforms as well (if they can access an URL with the browser, it'll work!).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;CowTiP: If I'm testing websites or various local URLs with the AVD's browser, etc. I can of course also add html links into the &quot;clip.html&quot; file that I can simply click on within the AVD's browser and go to their locations.  (Not as cool, easy and quick as simply dragging an URL's favicon from your Safari browser to the iOS simulator's iPhone, etc. but that's the beauty of using Apple's stuff, isn't it?)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;CowTip #2: Be sure and make the text size in the &quot;clip.html&quot; file large for mobile.  Just do that in the CSS style in the head code of the &quot;clip.html&quot; file.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;CowTip #3: If you change locations, be sure and update your IP address in the URL and AVM's bookmark.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have some other proprietary methods that automate many steps above with custom scripts I wrote, but I have to charge for my time to customize it for some else's setup, sorry.  But, even without the scripts, everything above works great overall.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Hopefully, some day Android will make their emulator as good as Apple makes the iOS simulator in this regard.  There's other ways to do this, but I like this way the best because of its compatibility with older Android Platforms and the ability to click links, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if you don't know how to protect your server from getting hacked, etc. with proper configuration/firewall/etc. and if your computer explodes, etc.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Cowicide&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;P.S.

Since no apps respond the browser essentially ignores it.  When you ask to open it in a new tab, the browser already knows exactly what you wantit to do with the link, so instead of querying your apps, it simply opens the link in the new tab (like opening a new tab and typing in the URL).  So that's why it works when you open in a new tab, but not when you simply click the link.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As for a solution, you could try &lt;a href=&quot;http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=genius.mohammad.httpserver&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;HTTP Server&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;AirDroid&lt;/a&gt; or similar apps.  Once you setup the server, your target addresses should look something like &lt;code&gt;http://127.0.0.1/whatever&lt;/code&gt;.  Since this has an &lt;code&gt;http://&lt;/code&gt; protocol the browser recognizes this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT:&lt;/strong&gt; To my understanding, you can also use other (potentially free) server apps, like AirDroid.  When it tells you your IP address is &lt;code&gt;http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:abcd&lt;/code&gt;, you use that when you are connecting from another device, like your computer.  But when you are using the same phone that you are running the server on, just go to &lt;code&gt;http://127.0.0.1:abcd&lt;/code&gt; in your android's browser.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="30067" LastEditorUserId="30067" LastEditDate="2013-08-12T08:21:05.803" LastActivityDate="2013-08-12T08:21:05.803" CommentCount="1" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Aside from reliability and the fact that not everybody wants his private data in the cloud (and even mentioned API reference&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/backup.html&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot; title=&quot;Backup API @ Developers.Android.Com&quot;&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; warns: &lt;em&gt;Android makes no guarantees about the security of your data while using backup. You should always be cautious about using backup to store sensitive data, such as usernames and passwords.&lt;/em&gt;), my main question is:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Having backed up data from multiple devices using the same account:&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;what would happen to a factory-reset device being used that way before? Would it be recognized, and have only those things restored which have been used on it before?&lt;br /&gt;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;(device-identification could e.g. take place e.g. via IMEI (but not via the Android_ID, as that might be &lt;a href=&quot;https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2785485/is-there-a-unique-android-device-id&quot; title=&quot;Is there a unique Android device ID?

With link created, maps was working fine.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I then took a backup with TWRP which included all partitions (&lt;code&gt;system&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;data&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;boot&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;recovery&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;cache&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code&gt;.android_secure&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;sd-ext&lt;/code&gt;). I immediately restored the backup and to my surprise, Link2SD did not mount the partition and reported an error &lt;code&gt;invalid argument&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;My phone does not have busybox installed and also no init.d support. But even without these Link2SD mounted the second partition well and fails after restore. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Can someone explain why it fails to mount after restore when it did before?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update&lt;/strong&gt;: I had sent email to the developer of Link2SD with logcat and as of now I haven't got any reply.  The log cat did not show any suspicious entries (or I do not know what to look for!). The only two lines about Link2SD are:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;  &lt;p&gt;I/ActivityManager( 1567): Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.buak.Link2SD/.Link2SD } from pid 1680&#xA;  I/ActivityManager( 1567): com.android.server.am.ActivityRecord 444 Displayed com.buak.Link2SD/.Link2SD: +387ms&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This logcat is also available &lt;a href=&quot;http://www32.zippyshare.com/v/54949251/file.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; for a detailed view. &lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update 2&lt;/strong&gt;:&#xA;I missed to add that, with Link2Sd not mounting, if I go ahead and format the SD card and re-partition using TWRP recovery, Link2SD starts recognizing and mounting. So, something happens to the partition during restore operation. At next available opportunity, I will attempt to manually mount the partition as Izzy had kindly suggested.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="9556" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2017-04-13T12:18:23.210" LastActivityDate="2013-12-13T14:19:40.460" Title="Link2SD fails to mount after nandroid restore" Tags="&lt;link2sd&gt;&lt;ext3&gt;" AnswerCount="1" CommentCount="4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I have not installed any new apps that would have caused this, this literally came out of nowhere.  I noticed my phone was getting extremely warm in my pocket, pulled it out and say my battery was almost completely discharged and went in to look at what caused the battery to drain so fast.  Top app on the stock Android battery usage settings was Flixter.  I thought maybe something was wrong with the app, FC'd it and put my phone away.  This morning I took my phone off the charger (100%) put it in my pocket on my way to work and again my pocket got nice and warm.  Pulled it out and saw that I was already at 81% battery after about 40 minutes of driving.  Again I pulled up the battery settings and saw Maps was the number one culprit this time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I use an app that needs GPS it works fine, can lock on to location quickly, etc, but I am getting a huge battery drain all the time.  Using Better Battery Stats under partial wakelocks my top two drainers are &quot;NLP PendingIntent client in com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox&quot; (Maps) and &quot;LocationManagerService&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Anyone have any idea what I could try?

In my answer to the question &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/34969/16575&quot;&gt;How to deal with (orphaned) WakeLocks?&lt;/a&gt; you find a section called &lt;em&gt;What if it is the Android System itself?&lt;/em&gt;, which explains this to a degree (and offers a link to further information):&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;An app might have requested location updates with a frequency of 0 seconds, thus keeping the device busy. Instead of requesting a &amp;quot;partial wakelock&amp;quot; (with an appropriate auto-timeout), it might have requested a permanent one (which it needs to release explicitly). If now this app crashed, the wakelock gets orphaned, the request for location updates remains, and nothing (but a reboot) can solve this.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This is just a raw description and probably not 100% technically perfect -- but I tried to put it into &amp;quot;laymen's words&amp;quot; to make it easier to understand.

This does not require any special permission&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;apps with the &lt;code&gt;INTERNET&lt;/code&gt; permission are not restricted in using the network in any way -- they even can create their own sockets and implement their own ways of communication&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;while using an encrypted container would look promising on a first look, the camera app could not access this container either when it's not opened -- and if the container is opened, other apps could access it as well. So even using such a container and have it replacing &lt;code&gt;/sdcard/DCIM&lt;/code&gt; does not work for your purpose&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Summed up: if you want that level of protection, you either...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;cannot use any app requiring the &lt;code&gt;INTERNET&lt;/code&gt; permission (no way for that, as several of them already come pre-installed with your device)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;need to root your device and set up a firewall forbidding all apps to access the internet (which, outside the EU, would void your warranty)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;need to have mobile-data as well as WiFi disabled all the time, and never connect your device to any network&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As none of the above is really practicable, you need to compromise: When selecting the apps you want to install/use, check beforehand how trustworthy they are -- and keep your fingers away from &quot;suspicious apps&quot; as well as &quot;suspicious sources&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As long as you're only concerned about the photos you take: If you find a camera app which can use an encrypted container solely by itself, this might be a way to go (I never heard of such, but it would be possible to create it, so it might exist). Another possible thing would be a &quot;container app&quot; that lets you specify which apps are permitted to access it.

I will try to explain how to do this, and hopefully cover the most used computer systems.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Requirements&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;First, you will need the basic binaries. These can be found e.g. in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.izzysoft.de/downloads&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Download&lt;/strong&gt; area of my Android site&lt;/a&gt;, where I try to keep up-to-date versions available – for Linux, MacOS, and Windows.&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Windows users&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If your computer is running Windows, you will also need the special drivers for your device (no generic solution here, so you need to check this out yourself; usually, those drivers are offered for download on the manufacturer's website).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Linux and Mac OS users&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Linux and Mac OS users might need to make their device known to their operating system. For Linux, you find the necessary steps described in my answers &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/a/39437/16575&quot; title=&quot;Configuring ADB for Nexus 4 on Ubuntu 11.10&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/q/144966/16575&quot; title=&quot;How do I get my device detected by ADB on Linux?&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. Not being familiar with Mac OS, I can not speak for it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Installation&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Linux&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;For Linux, this is quite easy: Simply unpack the downloaded binaries into a directory of your choice. At the time I'm writing this, this will only be two files: &lt;code&gt;adb&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;aapt&lt;/code&gt; (the latter being used by &lt;em&gt;QtADB&lt;/em&gt;, and not necessarily needed to execute ADB commands directly). Adjust their file permissions to make them executable (e.g. from the command line: &lt;code&gt;chmod 0755 adb aapt&lt;/code&gt;). Finally, it's a good idea to include the chosen directory with your &lt;code&gt;$PATH&lt;/code&gt; variable, so you can call &lt;code&gt;adb&lt;/code&gt; from wherever you are. A good place for that is at the end of your &lt;code&gt;~/.profile&lt;/code&gt; file to include an additional line like &lt;code&gt;export PATH=&quot;~/bin:$PATH&quot;&lt;/code&gt; (if you extracted the binaries to &lt;code&gt;~/bin&lt;/code&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Windows&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The Windows download holds a couple more files. Also extract them into a directory of your choice. If you want them to be callable from wherever you are, without preceding the complete path, you need to add that path to your environment variables as well. Not being a Windows user, I must leave the &quot;how to do this&quot; to you.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;What else?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You should be done at this point, and can use the full powers of the ADB command line.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Alternatives?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;on &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/a/145876/16575&quot;&gt;some Linux distros&lt;/a&gt;, you can install the packages &lt;code&gt;android-tools-adb&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;android-tools-fastboot&lt;/code&gt; via the resp. package manager.

All parts of the system need to fit together, or you might run into trouble (unstable system, things not working as expected, apps crashing, and the like). There are different approaches to backup and restore, and one should not mix them without the required experience.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Nandroid&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;A Nandroid backup (as it's done by e.g. ClockworkMod) basically creates full images of all your device's partitions, without any abstraction. This does not necessarily mean one could not pick single items out of a Nandroid backup, but its not that trivial. If you restore a single partion only (such as &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt;), it must fit the other parts of the system. The &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; partition also holds the &lt;code&gt;/data/dalvik-cache&lt;/code&gt;, for example, which consists of the byte-code for all installed apps, optimized for the ROM which created it. If you e.g. would restore the &lt;code&gt;/data&lt;/code&gt; partition from a backup of ROM-X to a device with ROM-Y, those DEX (Dalvik EXecutables) would not fit. Also ROM-Y might use different directory structures for several things, which are not reflected here.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;You see, it would not be such a good idea.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;ADB Backups&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Backups created with the &lt;code&gt;adb backup&lt;/code&gt; command are a different case: they are &amp;quot;abstracted&amp;quot;. If you look into such an archive, you will not find the directory structure reflected. Thus at least in theory, an app backup (including the apps' data) created on ROM-X should restore fine on ROM-Y, as the ADB daemon on the device should take care of what belongs where.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Titanium backup&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Somehow comparable with the afore-mentioned &lt;em&gt;ADB backup&lt;/em&gt;. TiBu uses its own format, and furthermore offers a &amp;quot;migration mode&amp;quot; when restoring backups from a different ROM. TiBu can also extract apps/data from Nandroid (and ADB?) backups, and hopefully fits them in fine even between different ROMs.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Other details&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As you correctly noted: No, &lt;em&gt;Titanium Backup&lt;/em&gt; is not needed to restore a Nandroid backup. The same script collection (Nandroid) used for the backup process would take care for the restore as well, again from the same place (ClockworkMod recovery). But as described above: &lt;em&gt;Titanium Backup&lt;/em&gt; is able to read from backup files created with &lt;em&gt;Nandroid&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;As a last line, I want to repeat what I wrote in the beginning: Nandroid, ADB Backup, and Titanium are using completely different concepts. Though it is possible to mix them on a restore, this should only be done by experienced users understanding those concepts and knowing what they are doing.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2013-03-27T20:01:01.693" CommentCount="0" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; thread. I have revisited this thread every time I had to install Android SDK. The trick that the author uses is to simply replace the hardware IDs in the INF file to those that actually correspond to the actual hardware device that's being connected.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;If I am not mistaken I had the same ID as the author describes in the thread, that is &lt;code&gt;USB\VID_0bb4&amp;amp;Pid_0c94&lt;/code&gt;. But now when I check it I have a different one.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/0h4zg.png&quot; alt=&quot;driver properties&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I recently flashed the phone. But I used the RUU original image, with the same build number as the one that was already on the phone. The RUU was the HTC original ROM Update Utility that was used to flash it. I had to do this to enable the use of Unrevoked to root and then Alpha Rev to set S-OFF. Could it be that, in some way, this changed the hardware ID? I thought hardware IDs were supposed to be permanent and fixed to the hardware?...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Using the second driver, with unedited INF file, and trying to update the ADB device in Device Manager, this is what it says.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/W5BDq.png&quot; alt=&quot;driver update&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/a0sua.png&quot; alt=&quot;driver update&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;It just simply fails to install it, because the IDs don't match. Now, these are the lines that I used in the edited version of the INF file. These now include the actual IDs of my phone.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;[Google.NTx86]&#xA;%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&amp;amp;PID_0C87&amp;amp;MI_01&#xA;&#xA;[Google.NTamd64]&#xA;%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&amp;amp;PID_0C87&amp;amp;MI_01&#xA;&#xA;[Strings]&#xA;%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&amp;amp;PID_0C87&amp;amp;REV_0226&#xA;%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&amp;amp;PID_0C87&#xA;%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&amp;amp;PID_0C87&#xA;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So now when I try to update the driver again I get to the warning message, you know the usual Windows warning about installing software of unknown source.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/jflBp.png&quot; alt=&quot;driver update&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So I click to install it anyway.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/vAZIp.png&quot; alt=&quot;driver update&quot;&gt;&#xA;And it tries to install it but then halts and says that installation failed and something about ADB Composite.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;So why does it fail to install? And why was my hardware ID changed in the first place?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Is there no &quot;normal&quot; way of installing this stupid driver? You know, without having to hack the damn thing or play tricks with it?...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I know that some users suggest that one should obtain the latest sync software from the manufacturer because with that also come some USB drivers that are necessary to have. But I don't want any of the HTC bloatware. And I don't have any problems transferring files between the phone and the computer when in &quot;Disk drive&quot; mode. So I don't need anything else. And isn't this the driver for using the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) which is part of Android SDK? I mean shouldn't Google be the one that provides a working driver then?...&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just for the record, the phone in question is HTC Desire, the original one. You know, the first one, not any of its' many siblings that followed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Please have a look at this, and let me know what you think this could be. And also let me know if you know of any alternative ways of doing this, just for future use. I am sick and tiered of having to this every single time I want to install the Android SDK. I normally only do that when I need to reinstall Windows, but once installed and set up I usually don't touch it, but I do reinstall Windows at least two times a year.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="27231" OwnerDisplayName="Sammy" LastEditorUserId="12442" LastEditDate="2013-09-13T12:49:57.387" LastActivityDate="2013-09-13T12:49:57.387" Title="How do I patch the Android ADB driver?"

(Say, by entering &lt;code&gt;\\192.168.12.34\&lt;/code&gt; into the Windows Explorer address bar, if that was the IP assigned to one of your desktops.) It's merely the browsing and discovery functions which don't work, since they're confined to the immediate LAN.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Not being able to browse for the files on your Android phone, though, is an entirely different issue: You &lt;em&gt;can't&lt;/em&gt; remotely access the files on an Android phone, because Android phones don't do Windows file sharing — at least not by default. Most likely, with your stock phone as configured by the manufacturer, the only way to remotely access its files is over Bluetooth from a paired computer.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ES File Explorer knows how to speak Windows file sharing as a &lt;em&gt;client&lt;/em&gt;, so it's able to connect to the files shared on your PCs. But to go the other direction, you need to install an app on your phone that'll act as a Windows file sharing &lt;strong&gt;server&lt;/strong&gt;. I'm sure there are several choices available in Google Play. (However, you should think twice or more before doing something like that. Opening up remote network access to your phone's files carries serious hacking and privacy dangers. It's not something to undertake casually.)&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="71249" OwnerDisplayName="FeRD" LastActivityDate="2013-03-23T14:15:32.403" CommentCount="6" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

With ADB you can do a lot more -- you will get an idea if you read the &lt;a href=&quot;https://android.stackexchange.com/tags/adb/info&quot;&gt;ADB tag wiki&lt;/a&gt; and also follow the links contained there.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One more thing in common: both can be used interactively.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;And one more shorty: they do &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; depend on each other.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;SSH&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;To use SSH, you will need to install a &lt;a href=&quot;https://play.google.com/store/search?q=ssh-server&amp;amp;c=apps&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;SSH server&lt;/a&gt; on your Android device. If the latter is rooted (as a Linux user, I do not need to explain that &amp;quot;root&amp;quot; is the administrative account, and also known as the &amp;quot;super-user&amp;quot; who has full access to everything), you can set it up to use the default SSH port -- otherwise you need to chose one above 1000, as it is with Linux.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Now you can interact with the device: copy files with &lt;code&gt;scp&lt;/code&gt;, or log in to the device directly. This way you reach a shell, and can work on the device like on any other Linux machine (almost -- of course there are some restrictions, like e.g. no X-Server being present, and a limited set of commands).&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;ADB&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;With ADB you can also establish such a &amp;quot;terminal mode&amp;quot;, by simply executing the command &lt;code&gt;adb shell&lt;/code&gt; without any arguments. This directly brings you to the shell prompt. Similar to &lt;code&gt;ssh&lt;/code&gt;, you can also directly execute commands by simply pass them as parameters. In this case, as with ssh, you will be returned to your local terminal prompt once the command has been completed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;ADB offers additional commands, not only &amp;quot;shell&amp;quot;. So you can e.g. use &lt;code&gt;adb push&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;adb pull&lt;/code&gt; to transfer files (comparable to &lt;code&gt;scp&lt;/code&gt;). All the other capabilities go beyond the scope of your question -- but above mentioned tag wiki should get you started here as well.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;One last word on ADB: similar to SSH, this is a client-server model. Which means, to execute ADB commands from a client, you must have a server running. This is started when you enable &amp;quot;USB Debugging&amp;quot; in the settings of your Android device.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;" OwnerUserId="16575" LastEditorUserId="-1" LastEditDate="2020-06-10T13:47:31.860" LastActivityDate="2013-03-28T20:05:06.327" CommentCount="8" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />
