2015/03/09 | 358 | 1,406 | <issue_start>username_0: I have recently attached a FIDO U2F Key to my Google Account to make it more secure.
How can I now actually log into my Google Account on Android again?
Whenever I try to log in, it says wrong password, even though I know it is the right password. Does anyone know what is required to get it working again?<issue_comment>username_1: Use a application token:
If familiar with Two Factor Auth. /Multi. Factor Auth. on Github or Bitbucket and use a ssh token essentially the exact same thing.
May I recommend using google authenticator ---which by default creates 10 OTPs (one time passwords) that can be used if the FIDO is not pre registered.
Upvotes: 2 <issue_comment>username_2: To log into GMail after attaching any sort of 2 Factor Auth, one has to create an [Application specific password](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en) for use with your Google Account. For that, you have to to the [Authorization Page](https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords) in your Google Account, enter a custom name and google will create a secure password that one can use with any device. This password is only visible once after creation, so if you need to log in again, just create a new one, which is safer than writing it down.

1. Can I use my phone also as a flash disk? Is it safe? Could it create problems for my phone?
2. When I watch a video on my phone on the internet via a wireless connection, can I watch the video at the same time on the TV as well?
All I have is this cable which I use for connecting my phone to the computer.

2015/03/09 | 1,236 | 5,184 | <issue_start>username_0: Thanks to Daylight Savings Time (DST) I have run into an issue. I live in Arizona where we don't participate in DST. I'm using the default calendar app that came with my phone. I have an outlook.com calendar that I sync between my phone, my desktop (Outlook 2007), outlook.com (the cloud) and my wife's phone. It has been working great until DST hit yesterday. Now all the Outlook appointments have shifted one hour.
In reading up on the issue it seems that Outlook relies on the computer's time setting to handle the time zone and creates its appointments with GMT +/- your time zone (so for AZ, it's GMT-7) rather than specifying the time zone explicitly (i.e. Mountain Standard Time - AZ). When another computer gets it, it looks at their time zone information on the recipient computer and adjusts accordingly (oh, AZ computer that's GMT-7 and NO DST adjustment). The problem is that the calendar app on the phone (and the new Google calendar app) just read the GMT-7 and then make the DST adjustment, but never factor in that we're AZ which get's no adjustment. So, it changes it to GMT-8 rather than leaving it at GMT-7. If I create the appointment on the phone, I can set the appointment to be GMT-7 (AZ) which then will display correctly across all devices, however I don't always create on the phone.
Is there any way to have the calendar(s)/the phone stop using DST altogether? DST doesn't apply to any of the calendars I have on my phone and I don't see it applying anytime in the future either. (I tried the new Outlook App for Android, but it's still beta - really beta).
I have an Motorola Moto G with Android 4.4.4<issue_comment>username_1: Turning off daylight saving handling likely will just makes things worse. You don't want that.
For calendar calculations to work, you need to have these things set up correctly:
1. The computer's system timezone is set up to the correct local time zone and has an up to date timezone database
2. The phone's system timezone is set up to the correct local time zone and has an up to date timezone database
3. You created the events with the correct time zone
4. The format conversions during calendar synchronization are implemented correctly
>
> Now all the Outlook appointments have shifted one hour. ... If I create the appointment on the phone, I can set the appointment to be GMT-7 (AZ) which then will display correctly across all devices
>
>
>
That is indicative that your events are created in the wrong time zone. You should fix the timezones used in the events and fix the settings of the program that created the incorrect events. Giving the timezone might mean that you'll have to shift your existing events en masse.

1. Delete account credentials from phone
2. Delete all data from calendar and email app
3. Reconfigure account credentials
4. Sync calendar and emails
After that all calendar events were showing up correct for AZ time zone.
Upvotes: 1 <issue_comment>username_3: The answer I finally settled on was to use a different calendar app. The Android app (even after an OS update to Android 5.1, and an update to a new version of the Android Calendar app) still has this issue. I'm currently using the Microsoft Outlook app and have had no issues with DST changes. My recommendation for people with the issue is to get a different calendar app. This has been a know issue for several years and Google hasn't addressed a solution for it.
Upvotes: 2 [selected_answer]<issue_comment>username_4: I had the same issue on my Samsung Galaxy S4 which started at the onset of DST. Here's what I did and it seems to work. I turned off the Automatic Date and Time feature, as well as the Automatic Time Zone. Then set my own date and time, which for all intents and purposes was already set, and reviewed the effect on my calendar. Things before today were still off by an hour, but who cares! Things today and in the future I just deleted, then re-entered. Now it looks okay!

Issue: Calendar sync off by one hour. Desktop Outlook correct/phone calendar one hour later. GMT seems to be set correctly and device getting its time from the network.
Solution: 3rd Party app 9 by 9Folders. My preference is simplicity and sticking with the minimum number of 3rd party apps but guessing if my calendar has gone rogue is not an option
Upvotes: 0 <issue_comment>username_6: Set the timezone manually irrespective of DST. Go to Settings -> General settings. Enable "Use home time zone". At the Home time zone setting, type "GMT-X" where X is your timezone, scroll to the bottom, select the desired timezone.
Just remember to change the timezone for DST.
EDIT: Also changes the current time perceived by the calendar application, so this does not work.
Upvotes: 1 <issue_comment>username_7: I found that all of my calendar entries before the time change stayed with the time zone when they were created. So, I had to go in and change the time zone on each of my entries to Phoenix time.

2015/03/09 | 337 | 1,304 | <issue_start>username_0: I want to find the installation date and time of the applications in my mobile. Where is it stored? In Ubuntu it can be found from the `/var/log/dpkg.log`. What about Android? I am using Android 4.1.2.<issue_comment>username_1: When every application is installed you get a Package\_Added broadcast. You can save that instance of time and date when you receive the broadcast and store it locally and retrieve it. Hope this helps.
Upvotes: 2 <issue_comment>username_2: [Changelog Droid](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cypressworks.changelogviewer) is an app that catches the Package\_Added broadcast and logs all installations and updates of packages. This only works for apps added/updated after it was installed.
You could also look at the creation times of the directories in .../sdcard0/Android/data - though not all apps appear to create a directory there, and I'm not sure if it's done at install time, or first run, etc.
Upvotes: 2 <issue_comment>username_3: There are several apps to use, but I like using [App Detective](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zmarties.detective).
It's easy, concise, and fully detailed. **This will tell installation time** plus a lot more.

2015/03/09 | 1,645 | 4,265 | <issue_start>username_0: Android 5.1 (Lollipop) was officially announced on March 9th, 2015.
You can review the high-level changes at the announcement on the official [Android blog](http://officialandroid.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/android-51-unwrapping-new-lollipop.html).
Of course, not all devices will get this update right away and others won't get it at all. Each manufacturer and carrier often choose to add their custom modifications which tend to delay the official release.
When will each device get Android 5.1, either officially or unofficially, if ever?

I downloaded Emotion UI 3.0 for "probably" the wrong set form here [offical site](http://emui.huawei.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload).But it was installed properly. Then there was an update of same emotion UI, which on installation put the phone in bootloop on restart. This is what phone does
* On pressing power button, it vibrates without going into recovery mode or showing logo - just a black screen
* The phone vibrates after every 15-20 seconds, which is probably an indication that it is restarting again and agian
* Pressing Power button/volume up/down keeps does not make any difference
* Partition is not shown in my computer (when connected to laptop)
* Using ADB: Command adb devices or adb wait-for-device do not list any device
* Windows device manager shows "MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM(Android)(COM5)" under Ports (COM & LPT) which indicates that phone is detected but before anything happens it reboots

* <http://www.androidauthority.com/community/threads/how-to-activate-4g-lte.16160/>
* [Do you know other Android keypad commands (dialer codes)?](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/1468/do-you-know-other-android-keypad-commands-dialer-codes)
* <http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2734094>
Is there are a better or "official" way of activating LTE on this device??<issue_comment>username_1: There's nothing scary about that, as long as you keep track of what you're doing and not pushing the wrong buttons. Are you sure your provider even offers LTE? Also, I don't think the `4636` works on that model. You probably need to navigate through the Service Menus with `*#0011#` and then hit (menu) `Back` and then (menu) `Key Input` and enter `Q0000` and wait...
Now, depending on where you bought you phone (EU, US etc), you'll have full access to hundreds of ways to mess up your phone settings and even brick your phone. So I can't tell you how to find the LTE specific menu. But there are several LTE related items in the CDMA sub-menus.

**EDIT: 2015-03-12**
For a more technical hack for enabling LTE bands, please see the following two XDA posts (and threads) [here](http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/3g-lte-frequency-nv-items-qualcomm-t2950491) and [here](http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/guide-enable-unlock-edit-add-gsm-lte-t2948822). Please note that this involves using Qualcomm *QPST* and *QXDM* diagnostics tools.
**EDIT: 2015-09-21**
You need to be rooted. The easiest way to do this, is by these 2 steps:
1) from a root command line (shell).
```
$ su
# setprop persist.radio.lteon true
```
2) Then go to the Samsung *Service Mode* menu, by dialing the shortcut `*#2263#` (*BAND*). There you select **LTE Band Preference** and then **LTE ALL**. (To undo, either select "Automatic" or "WCDMA Band Preferences" -> "WCDMA ALL".) Finally reboot your phone.
If these doesn't work you may also try dialing `*#58366#*` (*LTEON*).

So I followed it up to Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Control -> Band Selection.
It had for sim slot 1 and 2, I selected sim 1 and it had LTE 1 and 2.
Activated LTE ALL for 1 and LTE40 for 2 (LTE 40 was the only option for LTE 2).
Sim 1 went out of service so I waited, then restarted phone then both sims wouldn't work anymore. I didn't tamper with SIM 2 by the way.
So be careful...looks like phone is bricked or something now.

Out of the two Firebug is of course much better, it gives a detailed list in the Network panel.
How would I do something similar on android? I don't mind using another browser either, so far I haven't found anything similar on Dolphin or Firefox.
What I'm really after is getting a list of ad servers for my frequently viewed web pages so that I can block them (I rooted my phone so I can edit /etc/hosts). So if I need to use another browser is not a problem, I'd just use it once, get a list of ad servers, block them, and then go back to Dolphin (which is what I use normally).
It just seems odd that even though this feature is present in all desktop browsers it is completely missing in android browsers.<issue_comment>username_1: you need sniff packets when open one **URL** on browser,
so, use *Burp Suite*

And you are using Firefox on your desktop, and Dolphin and Firefox on Android, just like I do. Adblock Plus works a lot better because on hosts file you need the exact domain name (one with www, without www, a different country etc).
The Hosts file provides additional protection on your desktop system and is checked before anything else. ([Blocking Unwanted Connections with a Hosts File](http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm))
Since your goal is to block ads install "[Adblock Plus](https://adblockplus.org/en/android)" APP on your Android from adblockplus.org; [Adblock Plus for Android removed from Google Play store](https://adblockplus.org/blog/adblock-plus-for-android-removed-from-google-play-store), but use the first link to get it directly from adblockplus.org
To use the hosts file from mvps.org you would need to be rooted. Since you are rooted you would not need to use a proxy server.
For those of you, and like myself who are not rooted, you don't have access to change the hosts file, but you can use a proxy server, the directions are within Adblock Plus, and you can check status of whether Ad blocking is active by dragging down from the top of your Android. That is different from the color of the ABP icon on the status bar at the top, which indicates whether you have turned it ON or OFF.
The good news: on the Android version, the APP applies to all of your browsers; whereas, the "[Adblock Plus](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/)" Firefox extension only works on Firefox desktop, and you have to install other versions or different apps on other desktop browsers.
The bad news: on Android there is no supplementary [Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/elemhidehelper/), and it would probably not be possible to make the necessary selections with access to widen/narrow a selection.

Now it seems to boot fully without asking. Under Settings > Security it still claims to be Encrypted and tapping the option does nothing.
Would upgrading from 5.0 to 5.0.1 change this behavior? Am I still secure?
Would this behavior stop if I add my Android Wear watch as a trusted device?<issue_comment>username_1: This seems to be a bug in Android; at some point asking for credentials at boot has been disabled. You can re-enable this by changing your password/pin (you can "change" it to the same one you're currently using, too).
Upvotes: 2 <issue_comment>username_2: I have since figured out my own answer. I can reproduce it with the following process:
1) Settings > Security > Screen lock > put in current pattern > Select Pattern > Note that "Require pattern to start device" is checked
2) Make no changes and back out to Settings (or press home and re-open Settings)
3) Go to Accessibility
4) Turn on any Accessibility Service (I turned on Pushbullet but it doesn't seem to matter what service you do)
5) Follow step 1 until you see that "Require pattern to start device" is unchecked.
In the Android M Preview 2, turning on Push Bullet prompted me with "If you turn on Pushbullet, your device won't use your screen lock to enhance data encryption" and pressing ok brought me to a screen where I needed to enter my current pattern. The text reads "Because turning on Pushbullet affects data encryption, you need to confirm your pattern." I do not remember this screen in 5.0 or 5.0.1 but I believe this is what was causing it.

if in use, kill that process, than try it again.
Upvotes: 1 <issue_comment>username_2: @username_1's solution works, but requires more information to be useful.
Running
```
netstat -nao | findstr 5037
```
will display all connections on port 5037, which is the TCP port that ADB daemon runs on.
Terminal should output something like this:
```
TCP 127.0.0.1:3592 127.0.0.1:5037 ESTABLISHED 9984
TCP 127.0.0.1:3603 127.0.0.1:5037 ESTABLISHED 6204
TCP 127.0.0.1:5037 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 9904
TCP 127.0.0.1:5037 127.0.0.1:3592 ESTABLISHED 9904
TCP 127.0.0.1:5037 127.0.0.1:3603 ESTABLISHED 9904
```
The last column of numbers (like 9904) is the `PID` or `Process ID` that is running on the port that ADB uses. In some cases ADB doesn't end its previous process and cause future instances to hang/wait like you described.
If you're on Windows, open `Task Manager`, click `Details`, and find the matching ID in the `PID` column. Right click the process and end it, and try your adb command again.

You can go to app manager and reset all google apps to their factory states and update them once they are functional. This is only for not working apps in case you did not get stuck during rooting. If in case you tried to root it, then try unrooting and rooting again and if this does not fix the problem, then do a factory reset.

Your last resort would be to **do a Factory Reset:**
1. Backup your data manually, by copying your pictures to your SD card or computer, then using the `adb backup` command if you care about your app data. If you want to keep your text messages, export them via [SMS Backup & Restore](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore) if your Messaging app doesn't have a built-in backup function.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Then scroll down and click on "Backup and Reset".
4. Uncheck Back up my data and Automatic restore.
5. Press "Factory data reset" and Confirm
6. Wait for device to reboot

To do that follow these steps:
1. Turn off your device
2. Press on/off button and volume button down on the same time (volume up/down varies for every device)
3. You should come into the bootloader menu, go down to recovery
4. Once you're in recovery, you'll go to the wipe tab and select "wipe dalvik cache"
5. Eat a cookie and be happy with a working phone again

**I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU WITH MY INSTRUCTIONS**
Here's last resort if my answer or the other answers don't work -
**Method One: Do a factory reset**
Go to Settings > Backup and reset > Factory data reset and click *RESET PHONE*
**Method Two: Get a custom recovery (if you don't have one already) and flash GApps**
Flashing recoveries can be difficult for a novice, but if factory resetting doesn't work, then this is what you have to do.
Find out what your phone model is, then find a guide online.
Once you're done with that, boot into your new recovery if you haven't already.
Since you probably have **adb** configured on your PC at this point, if you have TWRP, tap Advanced, then ADB Sideload.
Click this link on your PC to download GApps.
Based on your Android version (most on 5.0, but tell us to make sure) and architecture (most on ARM, but tell us your phone model just in case) and download the file. Once downloaded, rename the file to gapps.zip
Now, inside of file explorer, go to where you've downloaded the .zip. DO NOT EXTRACT.
Click and type Shift + Right Click and click
[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/LXuMS.png)
Now, type `adb sideload gapps.zip`.
It might have to load, if it doesn't show that it has sideloaded but only started adb up, try the command again.
Once done, reboot the device. You're done!
Once again, I am not responsible for what happens on your phone with this method.

None of this happened before the update, one more thing is that it only happens with my Home Wi-Fi, other Wi-Fi networks work perfectly fine.

After much digging it appears that S Voice had updated itself without telling me, and I hadn't ticked the box to accept terms and conditions, nor had I given it a wake-up command.

Is there another way that I can do this so that I can update the app without having to update my whole Android operating system?<issue_comment>username_1: There's not a "straightforward" way to do it. You can't update the system application from the Play Store - you can download the update, but it will install as an indepent application (that will work instead of the system application from there on), but the system application will still stay in the system, and it cannot be replaced by the Play Store or the defalt installer present in the system.
You can do it manually, by replacing the .apk file from /system/app (or priv-app) with the different .apk, and setting the adequate permissions.
And it can also be done by updating the system, either OTA, or by flashing ROMs - that will completely replace the old application.

Note the '-r' option.
This will update the application, but not remove/update the apk file in /system or clear the user's data.
You might have to clear the data first due to database schema changes:
```
adb shell pm clear my.app.package

You could then go and manually remove this 'update' via the app settings Activity.

Thanks<issue_comment>username_1: Your system mount the external storage as a SD Card but sometime is not clear enough.
Go to parameter => Application => on the SD card and tell to the system to put the available application on this available storage.
The better solution is : open root access on your tablet and put a SD linker application for distribute the data on the booth storage. That's depending if you've enough skill to do that.
In hoping that help.
Upvotes: 0 <issue_comment>username_2: Normally Android will install a large app to external storage when necessary, and when possible. Not all apps support external storage.
What you'll need to do, rather than have Android do the work for you, is go to the Application settings panel (the exact location of which will depend on what version of Android your tablet is running), swipe left or right until you see a list of apps with checkboxes next to them; the top of the list should read "SD Card."

Go to parameter => Application => on the SD card and tell to the system to put the available application on this available storage.
The better solution is : open root access on your tablet and put a SD linker application for distribute the data on the booth storage. That's depending if you've enough skill to do that.

It's suggested that restarting the device may fix the issue, but not always (and since you mentioned "keeps on", it seems this didn't fix the issue). So, you have some alternatives:
1. Contact [their customer support](http://www.samsung.com/global/support/globalcontact.html) and explain it (as recommended by Samsung)
2. If your device is still under warranty (assuming you really didn't do anything to the device), consider to request for device replacement.
3. If there is no other choice, try doing factory reset and see if it helps. Otherwise, you might need to reflash it with stock ROM & working kernel.
Upvotes: 1 <issue_comment>username_2: Often it's because you have a rooted phone and you have granted access to some application to mess with root files KNOX are protecting, such as the kernel. My idea is that system apps can with change root files without problem.
What did to fix it:
1. SuperSU -> setting -> clear log
2. Install SuperSU to `/system` using the settings option

There are many sites available from which you can download youtube videos. e.g [9xBuddy](http://www.9xbuddy.com) SaveFrom and many more.
*Example (From 9xBuddy)*
* Go to Video which you want to download.
* Add '9x' in beginning of url e.g (www.youtube.com/watch?v=abc) >>> (9xyoutube.com/watch?v=abc)
* Download it.
P.S:
*Disclaimer : Downloading YouTube Videos without authors permission is Illegal . Do it on your own risk*

2015/03/13 | 792 | 2,913 | <issue_start>username_0: I have installed Bluestack on my PC and I began by installing a game called Townsmen and I played nicely. However, I want to backup the files that are created by the Bluestack program since I regularly restore my PC due to it get infected with Adwares and Malwares. I do not want to start the game again from scratch.
I know the default location for the installation is `C:\Program Files\BlueStacks` in Windows XP and some of the settings are stored in `C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data`. But I can't find that particular file with the name Townsmen.
Where & how can I access them from the PC?<issue_comment>username_1: You can do that manually from the Bluestack app player by doing the following
**1 - Backup the game saves :**
* Download ES File Explorer from the app store/Play Store
* Open ES File Explorer and go to the Root Folder (click on **"/"** in the navigation bar)
* Go to `/data` folder, and then open the folder `/data` inside it (final path: `/data/data`)
* Now you can see a lot of folders name like `com.android.something` or `com.something.somethingelse`. Scroll down and look for a folder named `com.hg.townsmen6`. Long press on it and then click on the three dots (on the bottom right corner of the screen) and choose **Copy to**.
* After clicking **OK**, you will get a toast notification that the copy went successful.
* Now go back to your desktop (Windows desktop) and go to this path `C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder`, you will find your folder there. Save it somewhere safe.
**2 - Restore the game's progress after a fresh install do the following :**
* When fresh installing, use this tutorial to get a prerooted Bluestack application [Latest Bluestacks 0.9.14.4604 With SuperUser March 2015](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ex3OIYpNIQ)
* Install the app Townsmen from the app store along with the ES Explorer app (do not open the app Townsmen before finishing the next step.
* Copy back the folder we backed up earlier in the `/data/data` folder
* Now open your game and enjoy.
Upvotes: 3 <issue_comment>username_2: All Android files (including game saves) are located inside VDI files (VirtualBox drive image) at `C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder`. You can try to convert them into image which can be mounted, but on Windows it's easier to install Total Commander app with FTP or SCP plugin, then transfer the game save files via network. Alternatively backup them via the cloud.

[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/hNnkG.png)<issue_comment>username_1: Looks like a spammy app. Check the ones you've installed last before this trouble started:
1. From your home screen, go to the Android *Settings › Apps*
2. scroll the list to find above mentioned apps. For each app:
1. open its entry
2. scroll down to the end of the page opening, where you should find the permissions listed (which the app has requested)
3. check if the app has the permission to create shortcuts
Alternatively, use a [Permission Checker](https://android.izzysoft.de/applists/category/named/security_permissions#group_379) – [aSpotCat](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.aSpotCat) is a good candidate for this, [CRAM App Analyser](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.tgsoft.cram) seems to be capable of the same: showing you all existing permissions, and on selecting one of them, all the apps requesting it.

The related permission goes by the name [`INSTALL_SHORTCUT`](https://android.izzysoft.de/applists/perms#INSTALL_SHORTCUT), and most likely will be titled "Install Shortcuts" or something similar.
Once you found the possible culprit, get rid of it: uninstall the app (if multiple, only one a time) and see whether the issue goes away. If the whole racket ended, you've got the troublemaker eliminated – and in case you've uninstalled other apps before on this road, it should be safe to re-install those as they were most likely not causing the issue.

2015/03/13 | 492 | 2,000 | <issue_start>username_0: I have turned off WIFI in the settings, but it's still always running. Doesn't this graph indicate that WIFI is really on all the time? How can this be when it's definitely "off" in Settings?
I'm worried that this constant WIFI use drains my battery and I want to avoid this.
This is a Nexus 4 running Kitkat 4.4.4.
I have also installed the [Llama automation app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kebab.Llama&hl=en) which can optionally turn on WIFI every *x* minutes, but I have made sure that option is definitely turned off. This behavior continues even when Llama is not running.
I don't think there's any other app on my phone that would have the capability to turn on WIFI on its own.
Is there some way I could find out whether one of the installed apps is responsible for this?
<issue_comment>username_1: Android is automatically keeping Wi-Fi on while the phone is sleeping (`Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep`) and always scans for available networks (`Scanning always available`). They must be keeping it on. Try disabling them from `Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced`.
Upvotes: 2 [selected_answer]<issue_comment>username_2: WiFi always on is caused by you granting access googleto always being able to check for WiFi at any given time in googles point of view that means ALWAYS

2015/03/13 | 4,338 | 13,227 | <issue_start>username_0: This question is basically the same as [this one](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/89/how-do-i-disable-the-click-sound-on-the-camera-app) but the canonical answer for that post is not compatible with my particular device for which a discussion and a solution can be found below.
I would often like to use the [Samsung Galaxy SIII Neo](http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9300i_galaxy_s3_neo-6289.php) stock Camera app but would like to keep the sound it makes while pictures are shot on silent (so that when I take a shot people are not distracted by the sound so that the resulting pictures taken look more natural). However, I've figured out that to turn such sound off, out of the volume settings `Ringtone`, `Notifications`, `Media`, and `System`, it is the `Ringtone` volume setting which must be turned off for this to take place (click on any of the volume hardware buttons and then on the volume settings cogwheel to see these). Unfortunately, setting the `Ringtone` to silent means no sound will be made when a phone call is received.
So, I would like to know whether newer phones have a Camera setting menu list entry for enabling or disabling the sound specifically for the Camera application. And, if not, then I would like to know where to place a feature request width Samsung for this to be implemented in future releases of the stock Camera software.
Anyways, I think, as a hack, if one knew where the mp3 sound file for the camera app is stored, one could just deleted (or perhaps replaced it with an mp3 file producing no sound to resolve the problem). Anyone know where I could find such a file?

**UPDATE**: I've tried [rooting my device](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/102430/what-are-the-advantages-of-enabling-or-disabling-samsung-knox) and then following [this solution](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/89/how-do-i-disable-the-click-sound-on-the-camera-app) but I still get an error message saying the filesystem is read-only. Not sure if [Samsung KNOX](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/102430/what-are-the-advantages-of-enabling-or-disabling-samsung-knox) is causing this. Thank you for your replies.
---
**UPDATE**: Remounting the system with the following command as root:
```
mount -o remount,rw /system
```
Allowed me to rename the file, but it seems it's the wrong file as the stock Camera app still produces a snap sound when taking a picture after the rename. Candidate files related to the stock Camera app under `/system/media/audio/ui` could be the following:
* Cam\_Start.ogg
* Cam\_Stop.ogg
* Camera\_click\_short.ogg
* Camera\_click.ogg
* Camera\_empty.ogg
* camera\_focus.ogg
* Camera\_Timer\_2sec.ogg
* Camera\_Timer.ogg
I've tried renaming both `Camera_click.ogg` and `Camera_click_short.ogg` to `Camera_click.ogg.bak` and `Camera_click_short.ogg.bak` but no luck! Even after rebooting the phone, the stock Camera application still produces a sound when a picture is taken with the `Ringtone Volume` enabled. The `Camera_empty.ogg` sound file produces no sound; ideally I would like this one to play when the camera takes a picture.
Anyone know where the problem may be and how to fix it?

At this stage I'm not sure whether the stock Camera app is really taking the shutter sound from one of these `.ogg` files or whether the actual `.ogg` file is hardcoded into the stock Camera app's binary file.<issue_comment>username_1: After typing `su`, remount system as read-write with

But there is a simple way to disable this:
* install Xposed installer on your phone. Grab the apk file from [here](http://dl-xda.xposed.info/modules/de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v32_de4f0d.apk).
* download and install this [module](http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xposed).
* after enabling this module, you're asked to reboot your phone, do so.
* after the reboot, enter to the module's app and navigate in the app to find the right option to disable the camera shutter sound.

```
C:\> adb shell
```
and then
```
# su
# mount -o remount,rw /
# cd /system/media/audio/ui/
# mv Shutter.ogg Shutter.ogg.bak
```
This solved the problem.

With Samsung devices for example, the sounds are hardcoded into the Camera App, for countries where taking silent photos is forbidden (EU countries regarding privacy laws), the switch in the settings to disable the shutter sound is also not available.
Unless we do a little magic (no xposed needed, only root access to the filesystem):
add Call Recording en Shutter Sound options to your Exynos phone by adding 2 CSC options to cscfeature.xml
==========================================================================================================
---
1. check your csc code (about phone > software information > service provider sw > last 3 letters: [CSC])
2. in root explorer goto: /system/product/omc/[CSC]/conf/cscfeature.xml
3. download OmcTextDecoder (<https://github.com/fei-ke/OmcTextDecoder>)
4. put the downloaded "omc-decoder.jar" in a folder together with the encrypted "cscfeature.xml" file on a linux pc
5. open terminal and cd to the folder where you have put the files
6. run: java -jar omc-decoder.jar -i cscfeature.xml -o cscfeature\_decoded.xml
7. open the "cscfeature\_decoded.xml" file in a text editor
8. add the following lines to the file:
>
> RecordingAllowed
>
>
>
>
> TRUE
>
>
>
9. save the file and rename your old "cscfeature.xml" to "cscfeature\_encoded.xml"
10. encode the edited file by running the following command in terminal:
java -jar omc-decoder.jar -e -i cscfeature\_decoded.xml -o cscfeature.xml
11. copy the changed and ecoded file back to your phone: "cscfeature.xml" and backup the old one to "cscfeature.bak"
12. reboot and you will find the shutter switch in the camera settings!

PC OS: Windows 7
Phone: Rooted Note 3 (N9005)<issue_comment>username_1: [DriveDroid](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.softwarebakery.drivedroid) is a powerful utility than enables you to create a virtual USB image on your phone, and when you connect it to the PC, it recognizes the USB image, as if it's a real USB plugged. I used this utility to install both Windows and Linux to my systems, and I think it should work as live USB, too.

<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer>
There is a free version, but I can't remember what the limitations are. (I have a feeling it might just be pictures.)

But for almost all android I did have or may operate somehow has standard USB storage device built-in. Anyone connect any Android operated phone with Windows 7 PC over USB windows automatically detects as standard storage of USB type device. Some of phone might ask use about which mode they want to present their device to windows 7 PC as soon USB cable plug-in followed by list of available options. Comin options are MTP , USB storage device, charging only, CD Rom external. In case of CD rom mode choice was maid luckily CD rom having drivers file might appear on Windows.
Such way connecting USB cable flowed by choosing USB storage will configures your Android phone as USB devices mean your required USB card reader will ready for you.
Removing any existing drivers of Android including all MTP devices will allow Windows 7 to reinstall required drivers if you have problem detecting phone while plug-in with USB.

After WhatsApp inroduced the calling feature I updated the app and asked a friend to call me. I answered the call and disconnected it. Afterwards my microphone doesn't seem to be working when I'm taking calls, not in speakerphone mode either and not even if I plug in a hands-free. But the voice recorder seems fine. The issue is there only when I make calls, regular and WhatsApp both. Then I factory resetted the phone and microphone started working!

This is inside your internal Storage.
Go inside this folder, choose a voice note that you want to send to your computer. `These audio notes file names are starting with PTT.`
Select "Share" option and choose from available choices such as Email, Gmail, Bluetooth etc. Send it using any one of these and receive it on your computer.
**If you connected via USB, then you may want to copy these files to External SD-card and then browse it using file explorer via PC.** Those files be shown as ADTS Audio files which you then can copy into your computer/PC.

It looks like the icon representing your phone is a camera icon n the only folders you can see are DCIM (photos) and Pictures. Basing on this, I'd like to assume your phone's USB computer connection is currently set to camera PTP instead of Media Device (MTP).
[Here's the link to change the setting to MTP](http://www.random-host.com/blogs/enable-media-device-mtp-usb-mode-android-44-kitkat-and-50-lollipop)
after that you can then try the methods Mohsen and the other guys suggested.

1. Run **Airdroid** and connect in the usual way.
2. In **Airdroid** on your computer, click on Files→WhatsApp→Media→WhatsApp Voice Notes folder.
3. Open the most recent folder (they are date stamped).
4. The audio note files are all in there in the format PTT-[date] and end with a sequential number.
5. Right click and download to your computer's desktop.
6. They will play directly in Windows Media player (WMP) if you double click them.
7. You can drag them into WMP and set up a playlist with them. Reorder them by dragging them up or down the list, delete unnecessary ones, and more.
8. Save the playlist under a name of your choice, and there you have them!
It took me only a couple of minutes to work this out.

1. Open the folder on your mobile. It is `WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Voice Notes/`
2. Select all files all any files you wanna copy to your computer
3. Attach them on email and send email to yourself
4. Now open your email on computer and download the attachments.
Tadaaaaa~~~ Now you have the files on your computer ^\_^
NB. The files extension is `.optus`, if your media cannot play it, I suggest you download a optus-mp3 converter.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Click on share button after the audio been selected. Choose any of sharing options e.g Bluetooth Email or WhatsApp if your PC has WhatsApp installed in. Or you can just transfer it through USB (Media Transfer) to connect your device and computer.

2015/03/14 | 301 | 1,135 | <issue_start>username_0: I have a Motorola Moto G and have just upgraded to Lollipop.
Every time I wake the phone up by swiping/logging in, the phone app comes up as if I want to make a call.
Is there any way to stop this happening? I'd prefer just to see my home screen.<issue_comment>username_1: If you just upgraded to Lollipop, my guess is you're swiping from the left side to the right side, the way you did pre-Lollipop. That doesn't work on Lollipop. Lollipop is unlocked by swiping from the bottom to the top. Swiping from the left to the right unlocks you directly into the phone app (which is why its icon is in the bottom left of the lock screen), and swiping from the right to the left unlocks you directly into the camera (which is why there's a camera icon on the right).
Takes a few days to get used to swiping up instead, but once you do, you're golden.

Whenever you restore your contacts over GOOGLE, it gives you a copy of the last contacts you uploaded to GOOGLE, And when you use your SD CARD to have your contacts by default, it will duplicate said contacts whenever you restore, and then when you restore over GOOGLE again, it will copy it again, and again, and again...
Just delete the contacts that are duplicated, and disable google from restoring you contacts in the settings. It should stop.

2015/03/15 | 410 | 1,633 | <issue_start>username_0: When lying on the bed with my head on the pillow, I basically can't use my (mi4) phone: if I hold it upright, it goes to regular portrait mode and it's not aligned with my eyes (my head is on the pillow). If held upside down, regular portrait too. If held horizontally (top & bottom of the phone facing the walls) it switches to landscape, still not aligned with my eyes. In fact, it is entirely incompatible with this body/head position.
How is that possible ? Using a phone in this position is incredibly common yet you just can't ! My Lumia 520 (Windows) understood that the phone upside down means the user is lying on his/her bed, head on pillow, thus switched to landscape, so I could watch YT videos and browse websites in landscape.
Anyway, is there an app or anything to, for example, force the phone to stay in landscape when phone is upside-down ?<issue_comment>username_1: Depending on what version of android/ROM you ate running there should be an option to lock the orientation. It could be in the quick settings in the notification drawer, or settings > display > orientation.
Upvotes: 1 <issue_comment>username_2: I've written an app that can do this. It replaces Android's auto rotation with its own. Get it [here](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=samuelpalmer.sensorautorotation). If you disable the *Allow upside-down screen* option, it should work the way you expect.
Keep in mind, though, that this app is really intended to let you use auto rotation while you're on your side, so you might find that it gets in the way if you don't want that functionality.

This has been going on for a few months now, and is just driving me bonkers. Every time I reboot my phone, and am home, my phone forgets the password for the wifi. All other devices in the house (iphone, ipad, laptops, kindles, chromecasts, etc.) do not have this issue.
This only happens for my home router – passwords for other networks are surviving reboots.
As I have my phone how I like it, I don't want to start from scratch. I tried wiping system, but it's like the password is a part of my personal data and that for some reason it is forgotten so often? Does anyone have ideas on how I could go about fixing this?<issue_comment>username_1: Not a solution, but a work-around:
The WiFi password is not stored on `/system` – it's in `/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf`. As you're using CyanogenMod, it should be safe to assume you're having root access. So you could use an automation tool (yes, I've got [tasker](/questions/tagged/tasker "show questions tagged 'tasker'") in mind here) to copy that file to a "safe place" whenever shutting down the device, and have it restored from there on each boot.

USB isn't designed to output in this way without pricey adapters that act as port replicators, forcing your CPU to act as a virtual video card, then outputting through a video port on the replicator, and adding USB, Ethernet, etc. But then you'd need to go from that adapter to your phone, and your phone has no inputs for this type of communication, or software functionality to handle it.

Download the free "Mobile Pc Monitor" app from google play and the server from <http://www.usbmobilemonitor.com>
after installation go to display properties on you pc and click detect. change the mode to mobile pc monitor display and it should work depending on your phone. (and no pc reboot)
"username_1" apparently doesn't know much about data cables or software...
in the end its all 1s and 0s and usb data cables and computers love those things.
DVI, and HDMI cables are designed FOR monitors to connect directly to the displays control board.
that gives the best refresh rates, and quality. Some phones even have Mini HDMI ports to steam video.
I been doing the same thing with my psp via data cable and pspDisplay so it was a matter of time to find a program that does the same for my android phone.
You can stream video over usb via software and thats exactly what the app I mentioned does.
The server program running on your PC captures the video thats sent to the monitor changes it to a usable format and sends that to the phone via data cable. The app then interprets those signals and displays the image.
I been looking for the same solution for days and just found it. It works on my Galaxy S4 np.
you can definitely send those 1s and 0s though the usb cable but at some loss of quality.
Both those programs give you the ability to extend your display to the phone as if it were another monitor. Thats something "PspDisplay" didn't do.
you can also just duplicate one of your monitors to the phone.
touch screen works as a mouse as well so its not just a monitor its a whole new input device.

Run out of space on your desktop? There is no need to rush out to the shops to buy a new monitor, particularly if you are one of the millions of people who own an iPhone or iPad, or an Android tablet or mobile. iDisplay is a tool that can be used to transform your mobile device into a second display for your Mac or PC so you can take advantage of a little extra desktop workspace.
The software is made up of two different components – the desktop software which needs to be installed on your PC or Mac, and the mobile app which is available for both iOS and Android – and you have the option of connecting over a USB connection, or wifi. iDisplay can be used in to different mode with the first turning your mobile device into an extension of your desktop, and the second enabling you to mirror what you see on your monitor.
iDisplay can be used in various ways. If you have your computer connected to your TV, you could use your phone to house an onscreen remote so you can control playback from the sofa. When you are working at your desk, you can limit distractions by using your tablet’s screen to display your Twitter feed or Facebook timeline. It can also be used to move control panels out of the way of other program windows.
iDisplay has numerous benefits over a regular monitor, the first of which is portability. While it is possible to change the configuration of a multi-monitor setup, cables and desktop space mean that this is not going to be something you want to do all that often. In the case of iDisplay, all you need to do is re-position your phone or tablet and then use the configuration tool to indicate where it is in relation to your monitor. The wireless aspect means that it is also possible to use the app to keep an eye on your desktop when you step away from your computer, so you need never be out of touch.
Verdict:
A low-cost and incredibly useful way to gain extra work space and a very helpful way of interacting with your computer.

2015/03/17 | 532 | 2,221 | <issue_start>username_0: My Google Maps tend to freeze whenever I interact with them. Sometimes I can move around the map and it loads fine, but as soon as I do something else, like picking a location, like a restaurant or a bookmarked position, it freezes, which ends in either app completely crashing, or it unfreezing after ~15 seconds. Sometimes it even crashes the SystemUI. Even when I exit the app, the whole system runs slow and laggy until I remove it from recents.
I believe that the issue is not related to phone performance, as I've ran games like GTA III and Need For Speed Most Wanted on it smoothly (It's an Xperia T). I'm using CM12. I've tried deleting the data and cache, but that didn't help. The version of the Maps is 9.4.1.<issue_comment>username_1: It seemed to be a problem related to system performance, after all. Looks like they system used too much RAM, leading to having slow Maps. After wiping the device, Maps work as expected.
Upvotes: 0 <issue_comment>username_2: The Google Maps App is dependent on the Google Play Services app. Whenever you point out a location or a route, or even load a particular area of the map regularly, it records your actions so as to provide a better prediction the next time you access that particular app.
Those recorded actions are linked to your Google Account through the Google Play Services app, which runs in the background. This might overburden the RAM, and to free more space for it, the system terminates other activities which might be linked to the SystemUI. When they terminate, the SystemUI crashes.
When you deleted the data and the cache, it just made the app rebuild its data. The records would be with the Google Play services, which would be relinked with the app again.
When you wiped the data, all previous records would be erased even in Google Play services, so there would be much less data for the app to read while it loads. Hence the speeding up after a data wipe.

2015/03/17 | 3,253 | 12,310 | <issue_start>username_0: Lollipop has put an emphasis on multiple users, which is just irksome on a personal phone. I don't need a guest account and I don't need a bright blue user icon reminding me I could be someone else.
I've disabled adding a guest from the lock screen (really a sensible default?!), and I've logged in as guest, pulled down and clicked "Remove Guest". But back in my normal account I still see the guest account icon when I pull down the top bar and click the blue user thing.
Is there a way to completely disable the guest feature?<issue_comment>username_1: **Edit**: Firstly, please follow the answer [here](https://android.stackexchange.com/a/185327/96277). It offers an easier approach and is tested with Android 7.1.1.

*Some users have reported that the following solution didn't work for Android Marshmallow and above. That may be so since I tested this with Android Lollipop and worked well on it.*

Yes and No! It depends upon how you want to use this answer.
>
> I still see the guest account icon when I pull down the top bar and click the blue user thing.

You don't need to go that far by completely disabling the guest user to avoid that guest account icon when you pull down the top bar and click your profile image. All you've to do is remove all other users from **Settings → Users** and change the value of a key.
The key is `guest_user_enabled` under the table `global` found at `/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db`. This database belongs to Settings Storage app. Its current value would be `1`. Change it to `0` using [adb](/questions/tagged/adb "show questions tagged 'adb'") with the command:
```
adb shell settings put global guest_user_enabled 0
```
Changes should take place immediately, otherwise, simply restart the phone.
Now, whenever you would tap your profile image in the top bar you would see the profile contact (if already created) or a toast saying "The contact doesn't exist". That icon wouldn't show itself as long as you don't create any more users.
**Note**: As noted above, it is important to remove all other users since the said method wouldn't work as long as any secondary user remains in the system.
---
The aforesaid technique simply deals with the nuisance that icon is to some users. It doesn't restrict the primary user (owner) to switch or create new user from **Settings → Users**.
What if I'm happy with having a single user (me) and don't want to see that **User** in the Settings?
**That would require root access.** There are devices under the banner Android One which are now running Android Lollipop yet do not have multi-user functionality. It turned out that the [multi-user] feature is disabled (the feature is disabled using framework as noted [here](https://source.android.com/devices/tech/admin/multi-user.html#applying_the_overlay)) [can be enabled] [using few entries in `build.prop`](http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-enable-multi-user-on-android-one-devices-running-android-5-1-lollipop-74988/). Why not use that technique for our advantage?
Hide Users from Settings
========================
1. Install a file manager with [root explorer](https://play.google.com/store/search?q=ROOT+EXPLORER) feature or a [build prop editor](https://play.google.com/store/search?q=build+prop+) app.
2. The location of `build.prop` is `/system/build.prop`. Open the file, go to the end, create a new line and enter `fw.show_multiuserui=0`.
3. Reboot the device.
Go to **Settings** and you would notice that **Users** entry is missing. As a side-effect, the result in first section i.e. the removal of the guest icon is also covered by this solution.
The good part is that while guest/secondary user is nowhere to be found which you can switch to using GUI, you can still use that multi-user feature. `adb shell am switch-user USER_ID` can switch the user easily provided that you know the USER\_ID of the guest/secondary user which you can obtain from `/data/system/users/`.
On the other hand, `adb shell pm create-user USER_NAME` can create a new user too. All good here.
---
What if I don't feel the need to have my device being used by a secondary user at all? I don't want multi-user functionality in my device?
That can be done. Thanks to Android One technique.
Remove multi-user feature
=========================
We're not removing the feature from the system but simply restricting the system to a single user. As mentioned in the last section, we need to edit `build.prop` which requires root access.
Add `fw.max_users=1` in `build.prop` and restart the device. This would restrict the system from creating any new user since the maximum user is set to one. It would also hide the entry **Users** from **Settings** as well as the guest user icon aka the nuisance.
**Note** that you can always switch to the guest/secondary accounts using `adb shell am switch-user USER_ID` even after restricting the maximum users to one since the restriction is set to curb further creation of the users. If you feel the need to remove those users but find it bit problematic that there is no option now to remove them from GUI, then simply do `adb shell pm remove-user USER_ID`.

In short: I found the right twrp for my device, then used latest Odin to flash twrp on it. Then from twrp advanced file manager copied build.prop from system to an SD card, restart, modify the copied build.prop, restart into twrp, rename original file (basically make a backup), and copy back the modified file into system. then select it and use the chmod 755 button (or go into the terminal and run `chmod 744 build.prop`. Note that only root can have write permissions or your device won't boot).
Specific: (tested on a Samsung Tab A T550 9.7" with Android Marshmallow 6.0.1)
1. Google and download the latest Odin, unzip it.
2. Google twrp and your device, download it. I don't know if the latest version of twrp works for every device, but at worst it won't but it won't harm your device.
3. Search how to restart your device in download mode. Mine was pressing power+home+downvol for approximately 4 sec. (while the device is powered off, obviously).
4. When the download screen appears, connect to the PC and open Odin. The device detected under com should be blue.
5. Press the ap button and browse to select the twrp file you downloaded.
6. Verify that re-partition is not checked under the Options tab.
7. Press start.
8. The device reboots normally, you need to power it off and start in twrp mode. In my case it was done by pressing power+home+upvol for approximately 4 sec.
9. In twrp, don't start in read mode (the first time it asks). You won't root, but you will change a system file.
10. In my case while using twrp, the touch detection was a bit off to the left and I needed to press harder, so beware the annoying and damaging fat fingers.
11. Press the mount button, select system so it's checked, and uncheck read mode if it's selected.
12. Go back (press Home) and press the Advanced button, then File Manager.
13. Go to System, then select build.prop file.
14. Press copy file, select a destination folder where any user can read it. I used an SD card (you can use the terminal to chmod the file copied, but it is faster from Windows).
15. Go back and press Reboot, then System. It will reboot normally.
16. Connect the device to the PC and open the copied build.prop (Notepad won't work. Use Notepad++) and edit what you want. In my case I only added `fw.max_users=1` below the last line. Save it.
17. if you couldn't open it because of permissions, first copy the file into the desktop and then modify that file then copy it back and replace it.
18. Disconnect the device and restart into twrp.
19. Again go to mount and check system, then go to Advanced and then use the file manager to go to system and select build.prop.
20. Rename it (add .bak at the end or whatever) so it's backed up.
21. Browse to the modified build.prop, and copy or move it to the system directory.
22. Browse to the system directory and select the newly copied build.prop, then press the chmod 755 button and confirm, as I said, even if you don't modify the original file. Just changing permissions to grant write access to anyone besides root will make your device hang on boot. If that happens, restart by pressing power + downvol for some time. Then immediately after it powers off press either power+home+upvol (twrp to change back whatever you did) or power+home+downvol (download mode, if all fails you can still flash the official image from Odin, you just have to Google your device and the Android version then official image, make sure it's the right one).
23. Restart and it's done, no more guest or add user, and no rooting, although from download you can flash a root image (if there is one for your device) or from twrp you can install Supersu to become root. You can say this method is as difficult as rooting, but I prefer to avoid rooting. twrp will be there, but it won't get in the way of anything.

This simply says that you have to enter into guest account then from settings -> users -> remove guest user you can remove guest user.

Note that you actually have to log on using the guest account for this to work:
Log onto the guest account, and then from settings -> users -> remove guest user.
After a reboot, the option to create a new user or logon as a guest is no longer available from the lock screen.

**Pre-requisites**: [Magisk (framework) and Magisk Manager (app)](https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445) installed.
Open Magisk Manager app → go to *Downloads* → search for *Single User Mod* → *install* it → *reboot* the device.
That's it.
(Click an image to enlarge it)
[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/KOsRa.png)
[](https://i.stack.imgur.com/tXc5h.png)
As you can see, that blue icon for user account at the top is no more visible. The Settings app also hides the Users settings option.
### How does the mod works?
There is a fantastic binary made available on-the-fly by Magisk framework named *resetprop* (under /sbin) which does the magic. It is instructed to change *fw.show\_multiuserui* and *fw.max\_users* in memory before SystemUI app is loaded.

```
adb shell settings put global guest_user_enabled 0
```
Make sure developer mode is enabled on the Droid:
Settings -> About Device and then tap the Build number 7 times (and hop on one foot while rubbing tummy !!)
HOWEVER worked for me ONLY after I installed the Samsung developer USB driver for Windows available here:
<https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows>
Then the USB dialog box come up on the Droid.
Then the script works.
Use this script as a test of the whole "system"
adb devices
It should find a device and output a MAC address or something. When you have that working then go for the script at the top.
You do not need to download the whole SDK environment. You can get the guts of ADB here:
<https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790>
Then simply unzip it into a directory (Get Winzip or similar).
Run CMD (the DOS command window)
and use the CD command to get into that directory where the adb.exe is (from the zip file).
Then test with adb devices.
Then go for it.

* First, the dialer only shows the start time.
* Second, if I make multiple calls to one number, the logs become inaccessible as they're grouped, and entering the contact record only shows the most recent history.
Is there a way to see the actual logs?<issue_comment>username_1: To my knowledge, there is not (and never has been) a native way to achieve this. However, that doesn't mean it's not possible: for most of the details, it's just the frontend that's missing (data is available in the resp. "data providers"). But to investigate the data, you would need a 3rd party app.
There's a manually curated list of hand-picked apps available on my Android website you could chose from: [Statistics for calls, messages, data](http://android.izzysoft.de/applists/category/named/office_contacts_statistics). Depending on what features you favour (how much details you need, how fancy it should look, etc.), different pieces of it might suit you.
If you prefer to get a few choices introduced closer, head over to [SoftwareRecs](https://softwarerecs.meta.stackexchange.com/q/336/185) (the link goes to their rules: SR is quite strict for what questions – or answers – must contain to not be "dropped").

I realize that she had an old version. Even if I deleted all the updates, it is still older than mine (by the way, both run on Pie Android One phone). She sent me the APK of Contacts but I couldn't install it because it older version. So, I opened Titanium Backup, pressed and hold on Contacts, turned it into a user app, uninstalled it, installed the version that she sent to me, and then make it a system app again with Titanium Backup (or any alternative app that transforms a system app into a user app), and it worked really well.
Anyway, the version that shows the time of the call is 3.0.7.210756853. So you should uninstall the updates of the app (from app info, then the top-right corner, and uninstall updates).
Then, if you have a version older than 3.0.7.210756853, you don't need root or Titanium Backup or that kind of stuff. All you have to do is to download this version and install it.
But if you uninstalled the updates and it is still newer than 3.0.7.210756853, you should have root and do what I explained above.

2015/03/18 | 1,212 | 4,927 | <issue_start>username_0: I am using Moto E(1st gen) with Android 4.4.4 KitKat. It is unrooted.
I wish to disable some of the built-in apps, which I do not use, e.g. Motorola Assist, Motorola Migrate, Google Play Books etc., to free up internal storage and increase the smartphone speed.
Whenever I try to disable a built-in app, the following warning pops up: "If you disable a built-in app, other apps may misbehave. Your data will also be deleted."
Is it safe to ignore this warning and proceed with disabling it? Or does it really cause the problems it mentions? Also, can disabling these apps have the reverse effect of slowing the phone down, further?
I looked up questions related to this in Android Enthusiasts Stack Exchange, and found these : [How can I prevent unwanted pre-installed apps from automatically running on Android?](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/755/how-can-i-prevent-unwanted-pre-installed-apps-from-automatically-running-on-andr/27069#27069), and [How can I stop applications and services from running?](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/30332/how-can-i-stop-applications-and-services-from-running), but they do not exactly address this issue.<issue_comment>username_1: Disabling system apps won't free up your space, since they are *disabled*, not *deleted*. They are still stored in your system (since you can re-enable them), and besides, they are in */system* partiton, whereas the apps you download are on the */data* partition, therefore, even if you did free-up the space, you wouldn't be able to use it since it's located on the */system* partition.
To answer your question, yes, it is safe to disable your apps, and even if it did cause issues with other apps, you can just re-enable them.
Upvotes: 3 <issue_comment>username_2: Most apps on android are safe to disable, however some can have some pretty bad side effects. This however depends on what your needs are. You can disable the camera for example but it will also disable the gallery (at least as of kitkat and I believe Lollipop is the same way).
Android does have some core applications that are essential to the function of the actual system itself. For example disabling Package Installer will disable the ability to install any application and will likely cause your phone to go into a boot loop/soft brick.
More to the question, if you are unrooted you should be relatively safe since I can't recall any application without root privileges that can access and 'take down' any vital apps on the system. That being said going mucking around with the core applications that make your phone/tablet function shouldn't be done lightly.

> First, not all apps can be disabled – for some you will find the "disable" button unavailable or grayed out. It would e.g. make no sense at all to disable "Android System": nothing would work anymore on your device.

> If the app-in-question offers an activated "disable" button and press it, you might have noticed a warning popping up: *If you disable a built-in app, other apps may misbehave. Your data will also be deleted.* 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.

As I find this information essential (especially for people new to Android), I've just added that (and more details) to our corresponding [disable-app tag-wiki](https://android.stackexchange.com/tags/disable-app/info) – which you might wish to check for the other details :)

Apps related to phone or hardware functionality should not be disabled. Google Books can be disabled if it isn't required. Google Framework and Google Account should not be disabled if you need to use other Google apps.
Some system apps renable themselves after sometime or when you restart the device. A startup manager app will help the device remember and re-disable them at startup. You can also use a task killer app to kill apps that cannot be disabled.
To free up space in the non-volatile storage, you need to move the app to SD card. I don't think system apps can be moved to SD card and will be part of the main internal storage.

(Give me an exclamation mark on wifi.) The new feature (stop trying to connect to networks that aren't responsive) they added to wifi is clearly acting up. I can connect through multiple other devices to the same wifi without issue.
It does get an IP address and my phone is still able to connect to my work wifi. If I go into my saved connections after a minute, that is where it tells me that its not getting connectivity and will no longer try to connect to that network. I did try rebooting the phone.
Any idea's of other things I can try to make it connect to my home network?<issue_comment>username_1: I had the same problem, but after upgrading to 5.02 I solved it by removing the network (go to WLAN settings and long click your home WiFi and then select remove) and then reconnecting to it. It will ask you for the password again and after that it should connect normally.
I heard that there are some WLAN bugs in Android 5.

My solution was: simply reboot your router.

Work-around for now: installed [Wifi Switcher](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.l6n.wifiswitcher) which forces the phone to connect automatically, but only to the strongest signal, which is usually the one I want.

SDK manager based on these files understand your copy on your temp folder is old or not. the `status` code determine if the download of the package is failed or succeed. the status code is simple http response code. so in this case it failed. if it's succeed, then it should be 200.
**To setup offline:**
1. first you need to select packages that you want to setup.
2. then press `install packages` button. in this way the SDK manager will create the `.inf` files.
3. then you need to replace `.zip` files in temp `folder`
4. then open each `.inf` file and replace status code with `200`
5. reload SDK manager and ask to `install packages` again
in this way, still you need an internet connection so the SDK manager can check the validity of your packages. but at least you can download the packages from any other source or with a download manager to have a faster download speed

2015/03/19 | 1,062 | 4,515 | <issue_start>username_0: **Update:** Resetting only the Google Play Services app as has been suggested didn't work for me unfortunately, because (in addition to what I've written below) the "force stop" and "uninstall updates" buttons are greyed out.
I decided to do a factory reset, and so far I haven't had any more issues with Google Play Services, but I still don't know what exactly caused these problems (probably an update).
---
I have a Nexus 4 with Android 5.0.1 (no custom rom), and there have been several issues for a few hours now.
It probably started yesterday when a message popped up 2-3 times (over the course of a few hours) saying that "**Google Play services has stopped working**".
Now, after booting the phone and getting to the lockscreen, the **apps which would usually autostart don't seem to start** (messaging apps, gmail, battery widget app etc.) and it doesn't even connect to a cellular network. WLAN works straight away. Sometimes these apps will start (and it connects to the cellular network) more than half an hour after booting the phone.
I've also noticed that for several minutes after booting, the **list of running apps** contains only Settings, Media, Google Services (not Play services!) and Google Keyboard, and after some time, if Google Play services does show up, it is constantly shown as "restarting".
After using the phone for anything between a few minutes and maybe an hour, it will **freeze and not respond to any touchscreen input**, sometimes saying that the launcher is not responding. Prior to freezing, it will usually start lagging heavily. It will still respond to the power button though. (turn screen on/off, show "power off" dialog)
Additionally, **Google's own apps won't work** even when I try to start them manually (I have tried Play Store, Maps, Gmail, YouTube, News & Weather). They either go to a blank screen or don't open at all. The system seems more likely to freeze after trying to open these apps.
I can open the **settings menu**, but some of the options don't work:
- About Phone > System updates: It goes to a blank screen for about a second, and then back to the "About phone" menu.
- About phone > Status: works only when connected to a cellular network, otherwise I get a dialog saying that the process com.android.phone has stopped.
(these are the ones I found not to work)
What I've tried:
----------------
* **Disabling the Google Play services app and replacing it with the factory version.**
Doesn't work because in order to do this, I would have to disable "Android Device manager" from being a device administrator, but its checkbox stays checked even after trying to disable it.
(Is it normal that "force stop" and "uninstall updates" are greyed out for Google Play services?)
* **Booting in safe mode.**
Works, but I get the same problems in safe mode.
* **Wiping the cache partition.**
Works, but doesn't fix any of the issues.
What could have caused these issues? I haven't installed any new apps recently. Is there anything else I could try? If not, I guess I'll have to do a factory reset.<issue_comment>username_1: I had the same problem. I uninstalled the updates to the Google Play Services and replaced it with the version that came with my device. It then auto updated (to the same version I had before) and now it works! It seems like a bug in the update process.
Upvotes: -1 <issue_comment>username_2: The uninstall updates and force stop buttons are greyed out because of the device administrator's setting. As you already know, you must uncheck the checkbox for Google Device Manager as device administrator first, afterwards the buttons are active.
I did that a couple of times myself because I have the same problems on my Galaxy S4 with the newest Lollipop. There are two problems, though:
1. Immediatelly after reboot of the phone, this setting takes a while to kick in. Only after one or two minutes the device accepts to remove that device admin setting. So give it some time and several tries.
2. From time to time, after reverting to factory version of Google Play services, they get auto-updated to the newest version again, regardless of the auto-update settings you might have.
I figured out that for me each version of Google Play services of 7.0 and newer definitely *will* crash. Version 6.7.76 is the last one that works for me. You can download and install the APK at apkmirror.com. At least for as long as it takes to auto-update it again...

2015/03/19 | 844 | 3,164 | <issue_start>username_0: my landline only has an IPv6 address (well in addition IPv4 via crappy DSLite). I'm anyway trying to set up an owncloud server at home and access it from remote locations. So the task by now is to access the owncloud server via IPv6 using my Android 5.0.0 phone (Moto G 2014).
If I open the IPv6 address in my browser on the phone while connected to the same WiFi as the owncloud server everything works fine. But once I turn off WiFi and switch to cellular data the server can't be accessed anymore even though my router is configured to pass every connection to the owncloud servers IPv6 address range. This result is still reasonable since via the mobile network I only have an IPv4 address and no IPv6 address, so I can't communicate directly with an IPv6 target.
Are there some tricks to still reach an IPv6 host through an IPv4 connection on Android? Using tunnels ect? Or is this completely impossible by design?
Thanks a lot for replys!<issue_comment>username_1: You can only reach IPv6 sites from your device if it has IPv6 connectivity, whether it be via an IPv6-enabled WiFi network or via your mobile carrier's network. It is not generally possible to reach IPv6 sites if you only have IPv4 connectivity.

I've used SixXS and aiccu since 2006 and they are generally quite good, though their [points of presence](https://www.sixxs.net/pops/) can go offline or be decommissioned without notice.
I haven't tested either app, as I've had native IPv6 at home for a few months and on my mobile for a couple of years now. Given that I know in general how tunnels are set up, I would expect the app requiring a rooted device to be more reliable, and if you are rooted, I would start with that one.

All Asus routers have the same firmware, so this should work "out of the box" with any new-ish Asus router.
I am not impressed with the Asus setup procedure when using a USB 4G modem/phone for WAN, but I ultimately got it working. I prefer working with dd-wrt myself.
This functionality is supposed to work with dd-wrt too, but today I also purchased a BUFFALO AirStation AC 1750 DD-WRT Router (WZR-1750DHPD) with firmware "DD-WRT v24SP2-(8/12/14) std" and I could not get it to work. I will try a newer or different version of dd-wrt in the near future.

I was actually searching getting greedy looking for a way to use both usb ports for tethering with 2 phones at the same time.

2015/03/22 | 183 | 695 | <issue_start>username_0: Is there a difference between Wanam Kit and Wanam Xposed?<issue_comment>username_1: **There is no difference**
Xposed modules are applications by themselves. Xposed Installer (the one that you use to manage the modules) offers a simple way to browse these .apk files that you can install afterwards. So, since at the end the app is installed, it doesn't matter whether you install it from the Play Store or the Xposed Installer.

2015/03/22 | 336 | 1,328 | <issue_start>username_0: I just bought a G2 on craigslist. It came rooted and with custom recovery. Whenever I plug it into my computer (tried my mac and two other PCs) the phone does not recognize it's plugged into a computer (just gives me a regular slow charging warning). On windows when I plug it in I get a malfunctioning usb device error. I have tried many cables.
I have USB debugging enabled.
I also tried putting it in download mode, but it still gives the malfunctioning usb error and the progress bar never goes anywhere.
I think the device is missing a recovery partition (might be something I did while trying to fix it) because I can't seem to get into recovery.
Is this a hardware issue or what?<issue_comment>username_1: **There is no difference**

2015/03/23 | 400 | 1,733 | <issue_start>username_0: We have a WiFi hotspot setup with no internet. A website has been hosted locally on a server connected to the same hotspot. Necessary DNS entries have been made in the Access Point to ensure the DNS query for a particular web address (say <http://www.facebook.com>) resolves to ip address of the server. Users are expected to access only single website (facebook.com) on the WiFi which is hosted on the server.
Some users that have cellular data turned on connect to the WiFi hotspot. These users when they enter web address (facebook.com), instead of the phone using the WiFi connection to get to the locally hosted website, the phone turns to cellular data and opens the website hosted locally.
Any clues why could this is be happening?
Is it because the user previously access the web address on internet and the ip address was cached by the browser. And now when the user enters the same url in their browser when connected our WiFi, the browser directly queries the router for the IP address. And since there is no internet on our WiFi, the phone automatically switches to cellular data.<issue_comment>username_1: **There is no difference**

2015/03/23 | 723 | 2,634 | <issue_start>username_0: I have seen android phones which do not ask users to set the date and time even if I remove battery and reinsert and start the phone. If I have a SIM card inside it, I understand it fetches date and time from the network provider. But what if I do not have SIM and there is no Wi-Fi connected?<issue_comment>username_1: “There is in fact a second battery in every phone.” (Cf. answers 15., 19. and 48. of [this discussion](https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130723/12395923907/even-powering-down-cell-phone-cant-keep-nsa-tracking-its-location.shtml#c159).)

Newer devices have largely begun to move to [supercapacitors](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercapacitor) to power the RTC, but batteries are also used. The decision depends on a variety of factors, including space and relative cost of the components.
If you want some really in-depth details on how an RTC might be designed, Texas Instruments has published the specifications for the various RTCs used in their chipsets. [Here is the spec](http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/sprufm3c/sprufm3c.pdf) for one of their OMAP systems-on-a-chip (warning, PDF file).
Upvotes: 2 <issue_comment>username_3: As [@username_2](https://android.stackexchange.com/users/981/username_2) said, there are secondary batteries or [Real-Time-Clock](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_clock) (RTC) chips built into the SoCs [(System-on-Chip)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_on_a_chip) of each device. They are built into the circuits by the SoC provider, like Qualcomm, MediaTek, etc. Newer devices use semiconductor arrangements like the [CMOS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMOS) (Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) battery in computers, which do the same thing. This feature is present even in many sub-par non-Android devices running proprietary operating systems.
If you dig deep into the specific operating system, (in this case, Android) you can find an option to disable it. This causes the phone to completely eliminate any power transfer inside it in some cases. However, this cannot be guaranteed to be present in all devices. It is just used to store energy to keep track of time or prevent any specific circuit from idling away.
In some cases, the time-record may be lost if the device is not used for long periods of time. In such cases, there would be no current flowing inside the circuit, because all of it would be completely used up.

2015/03/23 | 343 | 1,187 | <issue_start>username_0: Is it possible to assign a static IP address without a DNS in Android 5.1? Is there anyway to achieve it? I can do this in iOS so I'm wondering.<issue_comment>username_1: Check this : `http://androidforums.com/threads/set-up-static-ip.503213/`
if doesnt work or you can't find it, for dns,
set Google dns. Example :
```
Dns1 : 8.8.4.4
Dns2 : 8.8.8.8
```
hope this helps.
Upvotes: 0 <issue_comment>username_2: First, without DNS the network connection won't be much helpful to you: you will need DNS to resolve host names to IPs – or entering something like `www.google.com` into the browser's address bar will just give you an error.
Which does not mean you cannot use a DNS server other than Google's.
From your homescreen:
1. Press the `Menu` key, select *Settings*
2. Go to your WiFi settings, where your list of known/available networks is displayed
3. Long-Tap (tap-and-hold) the entry for your AP
4. Select *Edit*
5. Tap *Advanced*
Now you will see a form allowing you to override things: you can disable DHCP, then specify a fixed IP plus the related network settings – mask, default route, and – Tada! – DNS servers.

Of course, if you don't have your WiFi password, this is all husername_4ening over your cell data link, which could take a while. You might want to enter the password manually to make the process go more quickly & not consume your data usage.
You should probably note that [not all username_4s, including built-in username_4s, save all data](https://android.stackexchange.com/a/7941/59189).

How can I move it to external micro SD memory ?<issue_comment>username_1: 500 megs seems awfully big for thumbnails. As for moving them to an external SD card, you can't move anything except music, videos, and pictures to an external card after the 4.1 or 4.2 version of the Android operating system. Since thumbnails are pictures of the pictures, they should move. Try doing it through a gallery program such as QuickPic. It's free. On the other hand, if the extension of the thumbnails is something else besides a standard image file extension (. Jpg,. Png, etc,)... Well, maybe you can't move them.

[WorldCAD Access](http://www.worldcadaccess.com/blog/2013/07/how-to-reclaim-1gb-from-your-androids-disk-space.html) posted an interesting solution, how to prevent Android for recreating at least the db files.
Another soultion, if you have root access would be to symlink this folder to sdcard. You can do this via command line or using tools like [Link2SD](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD) or [FolderMount](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount).

I tried to delete cache memory and reboot but that did nothing.<issue_comment>username_1: Today my Nexus 5 starts to do the same, default Ringtone and "Wrong file type, please select again". After several hours trying different solutions I came to the conclusion that the problem is in -or related to- the "Google Play Music" which do not work for local files anymore. I was able to finally get my custom ring tones again to life performing two tasks, but I do not known which one solves the problem because a reboot is needed and I perform both before reboot.
1) In my case in the root of the SD card there was a ".nomedia" file which could prevent multimedia use in this folder and below. So try to delete this file and reboot terminal, then try to set a custom ring tone.
Note: My Nexus is in spanish, and options could have a different name.
2) I suspect that multimedia SQLite database was corrupted in some way, so I went to **Settings -> Applications -> "Almacenamiento de medios" (Maybe Media storage? com.android.providers.media)** and deleted data, then reboot.
After the reboot all multimedia data was rescanned and I was able to change the ring tone again.
Note: I had detected that my old custom tone for notifications was gone, the file was gone and I was unable to find it in my storage media.

This is About Apk apps.but for Download this, if you can download this again in `Old Device` so you can Copy Downloading Link and Sign In With Purchased Device in New Device.

So, just `Sign in` With *purchased Google Account* in `New Device`, and Find what you want and Downloaded it.

Open the Play Movies & TV app, swipe in from the left and verify you're using the account that owns them, and tap My Library. And then everything you own will be visible.

Research led me to find a way to disable the event listeners that pop the notifications -- FANTASTIC! This worked for months...
Today, Snapchat decided to reboot my phone (as it regularly does) in a spectacular fashion that included a long vibration while the screen went dark. Since my phone's come back online, the "System Update Downloaded" notification is sitting at the bottom of my notification tray; something that wasn't there before.
I've dug through my event listeners and confirmed the correct ones are still disabled, but now I'm hunting for a means to delete the downloaded update so as to remove the notification (Hopefully?)...
Most of my search results show the files should be .APK files in the /system/apps folder, but I have a /system/app folder -- no /apps. Another post mentioned they'd be in the /cache folder --- they are not....
Does anyone know where these OTA Updates are stored on Lollipop 5.0 so I can nuke 'em?

How to handle this issue?
<issue_comment>username_1: Steps to solve your problem:
1. Download Google Play services APK from [APK Mirror](http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/) (you can use your tab for this)
(Download the appropriate version by following the code on the [Notes / What's New section](http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-7-9-53-2135211-438-android-apk-download/))
2. Install the APK by opening it.
(If it gives you warning of "unknown sources", go to **Settings > Security > tick "Unknown Sources"**)
3. After installation is complete, update all Google apps like Gmail, Google+, etc.
Upvotes: 0 <issue_comment>username_2: The steps which I followed (when it happens to me) :
1.Backup all the data and apps you already have on your phone as we are going for a factory reset.
( To backup current version apks of the app use root explorer and copy all apks from `/data/app` and some apks from `/mnt/asec/` )
2.Downloaded latest signed Google-Apps for your Android version (like Jellybean, Ice Cream Sandwich, KitKat etc).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot phone in recovery mode and Wipe data/factory reset. (This is why you need to back up everything).
5. Flash the latest signed Gapps downloaded earlier.
6. Wipe Dalvik cache and cache partition then reboot.
7. Download the latest version of Google Play Store and install it.
8. Update all the Google-Apps via Play Store.
9. Then install Google Play Services and done!
**Note:- Alternatively, At step 7 you can open the Market (Play Store) and tap agree. Then press home and leave it for a while. After the Play Store is updated, open it and tap agree again. The new Play Store should download Google Play Services and install it.**

BobjGear mentions some tablets have the required settings, but no phones.
I have an OTG cable, a USB LAN adapter, and a usb cable. I did not find any ethernet drivers on Google Playstore.
Would CyanogenMod or Ubuntu OS have this support?

Alternative Method :
Buy a phone which has a usb internet option in settings (like my htc 816g), and just connect your phone via usb to your computer and share computer's internet with the phone.
In both methods you are safe from radiations of wifi or mobile data.

Upvotes: 1 <issue_comment>username_3: You'll need a USB-OTG adapter, or equivalently for newer devices with USB-C ports, a USB-C to USB-A adapter, to be able to physically connect a USB Ethernet adapter to your phone. It'll only work, though, if the phone has a driver for the Ethernet adapter you're using. That may vary from phone to phone.
[This USB Ethernet adapter](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B00484IEJS) has worked for me on several Google-branded Android devices: a Nexus 5, Nexus 5X, and Pixel C tablet. I've been told by a friend that it also works on the Wii U. It's an older device (note, doesn't support gigabit) and apparently pretty widely supported.
However, other Android device makers may have removed some drivers from the version of the OS that they ship on their devices, so there's no guarantee that it'll work with every phone.

On a related note, our network provider does not send the CLID with the country code but just raw number... Nevertheless, the contacts on my account stored are with the country code including `+` sign. Whatsoever, the contact app should display the saved contact name despite how it is saved since the number is available.

It'll only work, though, if the phone has a driver for the Ethernet adapter you're using. That may vary from phone to phone.
[This USB Ethernet adapter](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B00484IEJS) has worked for me on several Google-branded Android devices: a Nexus 5, Nexus 5X, and Pixel C tablet. I've been told by a friend that it also works on the Wii U. It's an older device (note, doesn't support gigabit) and apparently pretty widely supported.
However, other Android device makers may have removed some drivers from the version of the OS that they ship on their devices, so there's no guarantee that it'll work with every phone.

2015/03/25 | 560 | 1,932 | <issue_start>username_0: I am suddenly getting Error 927 while updating the YouTube App from Official Google Play Store on my Android device.
Android version: 4.2 and Device name: Micromax Canvas 4
I am using 2G Internet connection and the network coverage is sub-optimal. I am using the same device since last 2 years and never saw this issue in past. Also, this issue I am seeing coming only for Updating YouTube App.
For other App's update, there is no problem.
**EDIT: When I tried updating YouTube App using Wi-Fi it worked!! So it seems like Network issue**<issue_comment>username_1: **Method 1 :**
Go to `Settings -> Applications` and find Google Play. Then > `Clear Cache`.
or
**Method 2 :**
Go to `Settings > Accounts > Google and remove your google account`. Then add it back to the device and ***try redownload*** or ***reupdate*** the App. If it doesn't work and the error is still there give it some time. It'll likely clear itself out and you'll be able to download the App later.

2015/03/25 | 548 | 1,872 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm hoping for a way for Play store to stop promoting games to me all over the place. I don't mind them listed in the Games category, but I can't stand to have them in the Apps category. Any way to do this?
Using play store ver. 5.3.6<issue_comment>username_1: I very much doubt anything can be done about that in the playstore app. But you can switch to a different front-end at least for your "store browsing" experience (see e.g. my app list for [App Markets](https://android.izzysoft.de/applists/category/named/apps_markets)). A good choice should e.g. be [AppBrain](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appspot.swisscodemonkeys.apps): Less clutter, more features.

You could even disable updates and update checks in the original Playstore app, and let *AppBrain* take care for it. That way you can decide which apps should be monitored, skip single updates (and only be notified for the next) or all of them for a given app altogether. And more. For app the installation process (incl. updates) itself, you still will be redirected to the Playstore app – so it really is "just another window to the same market place".

I hope that it becomes accessible from inside the app one day.

2015/03/25 | 393 | 1,518 | <issue_start>username_0: I just want to make app reviews in video. Some of these app's eventually will be games, so if I can mirror video to my PC and capture the audio at the same time it would be great. So, my question is : Is there a way to mirror my screen to a PC with sound?<issue_comment>username_1: Download third party software **Wondershare MirroGo**. It works great (Not promoting).
Some instructions to follow:-
- You can download Mirror Go from [Here](https://drfone.wondershare.com/android-mirror.html)
- After downloading and installing, Enable your phone's USB
debugging, see here - [How to enable USB Debugging.](https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-enable-usb-debugging-mode-on-android.htm)
- Simply connect your phone with USB and accept the [adb authorization
request](https://i.stack.imgur.com/MPh73.png) pop-ups on screen and you're done.
Main advantages of this software is that:
- You can render your phone's screen on Desktop/Laptop.
- You can play games/movies/songs through MirrorGo.
- You can control your phone via MirrorGo through Mouse/Keyboard.
- You can record your screen via MirrorGo during the live view of your phone in your laptop/desktop.
You can Also use MirroGo with MobileGO ( an advanced software to backup your whole phone with one click and tons of features and works for Iphone too).

2015/03/25 | 489 | 1,939 | <issue_start>username_0: I have a Samsung Galaxy Pocket. Google Play Services has always worked for years on my phone. But a few weeks ago, I noticed my phone was 'force close vibrating' constantly.
After looking and watching my 'running services', I noticed Google Play Services kept restarting straight after the force close vibration.
I uninstalled Google Play Services and it stopped. (but why was it doing it in the first place?)
I reset my phone to the factory, installed my usual apps, and installed Google Play Services again. And straight away it did it again.
Is there a way to fix this? As I play a few games, etc. on my phone, some games it says it needs Google Play Services to run it.<issue_comment>username_1: Download third party software **Wondershare MirroGo**. It works great (Not promoting).

2015/03/26 | 571 | 2,195 | <issue_start>username_0: My sister and I have Galaxy S4 and a Galaxy S3. Along the time of usage we have only downloaded common apps like social apps and games. We've never downloaded any system-related apps such as those used to root a phone. Thus, **both phones are not rooted.**
Questions:
1. Is it possible for an app (before installing) to be in the form of .zip file instead of its usual .apk file (before installing)?
(not the normal archive .zip file)
2. Does flashing a ROM mean putting a .zip file (with app inside it) in an external SD card, then pressing the Volume-Home-Power keys, later installing it?
3. Let's say I did all the steps in question 2 using the unrooted S3 and S4, will I successfully install the zipped app to the phones?
4. If question 3 fails, what other ways do I have to install the zip file? And I don't have access to the computer.
Those are the things that bother me. If there are things very wrong please correct me.<issue_comment>username_1: Download third party software **Wondershare MirroGo**. It works great (Not promoting).

2015/03/26 | 698 | 2,702 | <issue_start>username_0: More or less two or three weeks ago strange pop ups came up on my PC. Antivirus detected `ga.js` as virus. I thought it was a false positive. Then I've found that the thing somehow jumped on my phone. Every time I surf the internet, unwanted sites pop up. The thing is equally behaving on all browsers: native g3 browser, Mozilla and Chrome. I've tried almost everything:
* Kaspersky free, McAfee security, and Malwarebytes
* Delete Chrome cookies, block cookies, delete site data, delete cached data
* Reset my router and clear the DNS cache.
Nothing. The thing goes undetected, same thing on the PC. Even surfing without the router my phone redirects every time I browse. I'm about to hard reset my phone but this evidently is a malware.
So how is it possible that it goes unnoticed?
My phone is not rooted and the sites I'm being redirected to are those [reported here](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/100595/malware-adding-code-to-ga-js-opens-up-random-ads-websites), amongst others. Anyway, I still don't see a solution to this problem.<issue_comment>username_1: Ok, it seems I've found a solution.
1. Disconnect internet;
2. Go to `Settings -> Applications`. Clear every data (cache, history, modules, cookies) from `Settings -> Applications -> Browser` (Mozilla, stock browsers, Chrome)
3. Open each browser and access the settings (in the top right) and delete upgrades, cache, modules, autocompletes, etc
4. Close all applications
5. Restart your phone, reactivate data connection and you should be clean.
I'm baffled on how updated antiviruses and anti-malwares can't detect such things.

Personally next I would use a much more feature rich "Anti-Anti" tools. Virus - Malware tools. Free is not always a good idea, in my humble opinion IMHO. TrenMicro for Android and Malwarebytes also. You get some cross-protection, but in my 15 years of Android use, from Froyo 2.2 to xx 8.0 that isn't always a bad thing. Different signatures written by different vendors, in different geographic locations, in my experience are very effective! TrendMicro is based in Japan, MB is in the USA, Ireland and Estonia. Each has developers in different locations. This is important still today, as malware released in the wild, are found by different labs, different locals, with different solutions. Give my protocol a try. It has not failed me. NO Norton, malware is written to disable it first & foremost!
I tried to avoid Proper Names of solutions, but this answer relies on them.
