Disable the automatic firmware-update/reminder.
how to disable this with a command, or through java-code?
I have recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S, and Google Maps came installed on the phone. Now if I enter Android Market, then Google Maps is automatically updated, if there is an update. I have checked it under My apps, but there is no Automatic update checkbox as for other programs I downloaded from the market. Is there a way to disable this automatic update for Google Maps? I would be great, if I could choose when it should be updated, because its not funny, when my 3G limit is exceeded with Google Maps updates.
View 16 Replies View RelatedWhen I switch ROMs on my droid, and boot up the new ROM, sign in to my google account, etc. the market automatically starts downloading all of the apps that I had. Now, like most rooters, I'm using Titanium Backup and restore my apps through that so I keep all of the data and settings as well. How do I stop the market from automatically starting those downloads? All I need to download is TiBu so I can restore all of my backups. The last couple of times I just go into the market and cancel all of the downloads except TiBu but with over 100 apps, that's very time consuming. There has to be an easier way that I haven't found or read about yet.
View 18 Replies View RelatedI frequently get unsolicited notifications that one or more apps have been updated. Is there a way to disable automatic app updates? I like to check for myself to see if I really want a specific app update. Examples: some apps want to enable new permissions that I don't necessarily want; some irreversibly change or even do away with the app - e.g., Currents.
Phone is a new Nexus 5. (Great phone, by the way)
I'm running into an issue, that I'm sure many of you have ran into at some point and found a way around. When I have my Phone Plugged into the Charger (For example when in my car) after a set amount of time (I think it's around 30 seconds) my screen will Dim to only about 25% brightness(But never shut off completely). As you can imagine, this is horribly inconvenient when I'm running Google maps or sprint navigation. How can I make it, so that when I'm charging the phone, the screen just always stays on and does not dim at all? And then when I'm on battery the screen resumes the normal behavior of shutting off after 30 seconds. I've tried setting the "Stay Awake" option under "Applications > Development" to on, I've also tried setting the "Automatic Brightness" option under "Sound & Display > Brightness" to off. Neither of these worked.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAs I understand by default HttpClient automatically handles Redirect replies from server (follows the redirect link included in the answer from a server). I wonder if and how is it possible to disable this behaviour and handle redirects manually, meaning that I can get redirect link from the reply, modify it and issue a new http request. In a "desktop" version of HttpClient/HttpMethod one can do it as follows:
HttpMethod method = new GetMethod(requestUrl); method.setFollowRedirects(false);
How can I do the same under Android?
Just got my new Vibrant delivered yesterday so now the questions start.
1. Is there a way to disable the automatic screen locking and allow me to just press the on/off switch to lock? There are many cases where I don't want the screen to lock automatically - eg. listening to music. But then when I put the phone in my pocket, case, whatever, I'd like to press a button to lock it.
How do i disable automatic brightness adjustment? I can adjust the brightness through settings->screen options->brightness, but the phone still automatically adjust brightness according to ambient light.

I'm tired of losing images from my wifes phone when a SD card dies. So I'm looking for a solution that allows me to automatically backup her media (Pictures and Videos) that we(her and I) have taken to a Mobile Personal Cloud (on my network) that is hooked up to a External Hard drive Ultimately I'd love for it to just upload from anywhere even.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am looking for an app/setting/switch/solution that automatically does what I already do manually. Specifically, what I'm doing is forwarding MMS pictures sent to my phone to my email. Its doable, I know the basic process. Unfortunately I have to do this manually every time. As there are a lot of pictures that must be forwarded every day... I am looking for something that, when an MMS is recieved, automatically forwards it to my email, or even just another phone number. Something that automatically inputs my email into the "send to" field of this phone's SMS app. I've sifted through easily 20 different apps that all claim to have the functionality I'm looking for, but not one actually accomplishes this.

On the iPhone, there is an option to automatically enhance a photo after clicking on it in the gallery, and it will fix red-eye, colours, brightness and contrast. Is there something similar for Android that I can use to enhance the photos in my gallery? I've been searching but I *don't* want an Instagram-esque filter app (there are hundreds of those out there) - I just want a simple single-click photo enhancement app.
View 3 Replies View Relatedim looking for an application that will allow me to upload files to an online folder. The catch is this, i want it to automatically upload a file every week or so, without me having to upload it.
The reason is this: my father has problems with his phone but has no technological knowledge. Also, he is away from home every now and then for some time.Therefore I need an application that will grab his backups (sms, logs, whatever) and upload them every week to an online folder (dropbox, google drive, idk).
I'm testing a hybrid phone/scanner that came from China and I noticed the time was wrong on it (we don't use the phone part), so I went into time settings and it was set to automatic date & time and timezone, but when I turned off automatic timezone it said it was still China even though I've been using the device for a week. When I look up our IP on the web it says it's in the US in the correct state so I don't understand why Android is not locating the phone by IP.
I've noticed on other Android phones the time randomly goes incorrect when off cell service (like on my old Droid 2 or Galaxy Tab which I keep the cell service off for), so this appears to be a bug in Android. Is there a way I can smack the phone so it does it automatically or do I always have to expect Google not to do this right and make me have to manually set the timezone (and sometimes the time)?
I've read online that Google maps has a feature that allows for automatic screen dimming when using Google maps. However, I can't find the setting. Has it been removed?

I'm currently building a custom ROM based on android 4.1.2 and I am having two questions:
1. In Settings -> Display -> Brightness there is no checkbox for automatic screen brightness. Can this feature be added (the check box to turn on/off the automatic brightness)?
2. When I activate the automatic screen brightness (using notification bar toggle) and the battery drains under 15% the brightness is setted to maximum and the Brightness page in settings can't be used, is there a way to fix this?
I've installed the CM 9 last week and this is working fine, but wen i take a picture my camera doesn't get automatically focus, i have to touch the screen on the place i wat to focus before taking pictures....is there any configuration where i can put my automatic focus back?
This is important to me because i use my camere alot, and touching the screen is a little annoying.Other problem is the panoramic camera that doesen`t work, i have the image on my screen, but when i start taking the picture it says I`m very fast, and then whe i get slow my picture is very, very short.
I'm latvian and in our language there are letters as ā, ē, �, ū and so on...

When I receive a simple text message, I have to make sure I wait a full minute before deleting it because SMS Backup + https:/[url]...has a minimum interval of 1 minute for auto backup. Is there an app that can be set to do automatic backups in intervals of less than 1 minute? Is there a reason why there can be no immediate *auto* SMS+ Backup upon sending/receiving, in other words, is there a reason to wait at least one minute before the incoming/outgoing text message is backed up?

I'm trying to change back the band mode settings to "automatic" or "europe"
Why? I messed around with minimalistic text to get a widget that toggles the data connection on and off. But ended up with a widget that opens the band mode settings. The settings show only one choice "USA band", therefore I ended up with no connection at all.
I tried *#*#4636#*#* to change the settings back but it won't work.
[update] You can start the bandmode selection like this:
-start the debugging mode
-start an adb shell
-type:
am start -n com.android.settings/.BandMode
In the list is only one entry "USA band" although 6 entries should be listed
"Automatic",
"EURO Band",
"USA Band",
"JAPAN Band",
"AUS Band",
"AUS2 Band"
Is it possible to change the setting back to "Automatic" via adb shell??
The setting to change the band mode is listed in minimalistic text under
com.android.settings.bandmode

CYANOGEN ...STILL nothing on automatic turn data on/off to send MMS as in MIUI..
amazing no priority on this while MIUI has had this for over a year or longer..see all the messages (also many xda threads that ended in 4-5 responses each because no one had the answer)

If one has unlimited data and does not care about battery, then I understand why this would be low priority (or not doing mms much because of cost)..
I got a surprise status notification today about completed automated backup. I see this message for he first time. Where it came from, as there was no activity attached to the notification.
I do my own backups and have the standard sync and backups disabled, and I have not installed anything particularly weird or non-market since the last time I reflashed the device. To the best of my knowledge nothing but my own backup does backups.
Which app may be responsible for it? I am quite uneasy having apps that backup who knows what who knows where.
Pic of the said notification attached: [URL] ......
