Hello, Between marketing calls and fraudulent calls… I'd like the phone to only 1) ring if it's from someone in my phonebook, and 2) notify if the caller left a voice message. Otherwise, it should remain silent. Is there a free/one-time fee application that does this? FWIW, my phone is...

Hello I've been happily using a contract-free GSM Galaxy Nexus since 2011 or 2012, but its screen is now a bit broken. I only use it to read web pages, use GPS for cycling and listening to podcasts, and the Galaxy Nexus' 4.7 inch screen is just right (5" are a bit big to hold). If...

Hello I don't know if "Controls banner" is the right name: It's the set of icons that are displayed when pulling down the banner. As shown, it's missing the shortcut to toggle between 2G/3G, and a way to list the wifi hotspots. How can I add those? Thank you.

Hello I currently run the stock Android 4.2.1 (JOP40D.I9250XWMA2) unrooted, but there's an application I'd like to use that must run as root. I started reading "How to Root Your Android Device & Why You Might Want To", which uses the SuperOneClick utility that offers USB drivers and a...

Hello I'd like to get started contributing to OpenStreetMap using my Galaxy Nexus running the stock 4.2.1 (JOP40D.I9250XWMA2). I keep the GPS feature disabled because it drains the battery, but it can take several minutes to sync up while in the city before I can take a picture and have it...

Hello A friend has a Sony Xperia S lt26i. The original battery doesn't last long enough, to the point where wifi and GPS can only be used very shortly. Google shows that it's indeed possible to replace it. I have a couple of questions: How easy is it without technical experience...

Hello A non-techie friend owns a Sony Xperia S lt26i running Android 4.0.4 and is currently travelling in New Zealand. He forgot to turn off data roaming (or didn't know he should) and apparently blew his 500MB monthly data plan. However, even when connected to a wifi hotspot, Internet...

Hello I'm a newbie trying to learn about what alternative firmware I could use to upgrade my Nexus Galaxy from Android 4.2.1. After connecting the phone to my Windows PC with a USB cable, I followed this video on YouTube to start the Nexus in Fastboot mode, clicked on the right button to...

Hello Until recently, my Samsung Galaxy Nexus worked fine with XPSP3, but now, its mass memory is no longer displayed in "My Computer" through MTP, and Device Manager says this about the Galaxy Nexus item: I'm not sure, but it could have happened when Samsung sent an upgrade to Android...

Hello A friend of mine has the Sony Xperia S Lt26i running Android 4.0.4. He's not interested in technology but likes to travel, and would certainly have use for: - Build Google Maps items on his PC, and download the maps for offline use - Use a good, single app to connect to wifi and...

Hello I'm running the latest ICS 4.1.1 JRO03C.I9250XWLH2. According to the label, the original battery is 3.7V li-ion and delivers 6,48Wh. I have a couple of questions: 1. How come it says "6,48Wh" instead of using the Ah (ampers hours) batteries normally use? 2. Are there bigger...

Hello After giving up on AndroidSync due to features I didn't like and errors with Outlook I could not solve, I'm trying The Missing Sync for Android which is now supposed to support syncing over USB in addition to wifi/bluetooth that it's been using for a while. I successfully synced over...

Hello I need a rock-solid, no-brainer application to sync... Outlook (2007) running in stand-alone mode, ie. no Exchange server on my XPSP3 host with the Nexus through a USB cable, ie. I don't want a Google-based solution. The archives and Google returned several hits, and I need...
