Because Android apps don't have an "exit" button like PC and Mac programs do, when you leave Chrome (or any other app), it's designed to preserve all the state so that it'll be there for you next time. If it closed all the tabs every time, then whenever you try to "share" a link, or paste some information into email, or even if you take a phone call while ...

I notice this annoyance too. Looks like the best solution is to enable volume key text resizing, and leave it enabled. Once you disable it, the Messages app resets the text size to the huge (on the Galaxy Note, that is) font/bubble size. This won't be noticeable on other phones; the real cause is that the GNote is big, which is what all GNote owners like ...

Voice reply isn't exclusive for Samsung phones: I get it with the same "what's the weather" query on a nexus-7. But it's controlled by a setting in Google Now. From the main window, go to the menu and choose Settings. From the settings page, you want Voice, then Speech output. Set it how you like. But take note that you only get a voice reply for the ...

That most likely depends on what phone and interface you have. On, say, a Galaxy S3 with the stock TouchWiz UI, when music is playing in the Samsung player or in Google Play Music, the volume control is enabled at the lock screen. On some other devices, it may not be possible. May I suggest editing your post to include which phone model you have?

When such a notification appears... Open your notification area Long-press on the notification. This opens the app's settings in the system configuration. Here you can disable all notifications from the app. This is a feature introduced with JellyBean -- as you've stated your device is running Android 4.1.2, this setting should be available to you.

You can't ssh from your phone to your Mac when using mobile data because you are no longer on the same network, and thus can't use the internal (RFC1918) address to reach it. When you're using WiFi, it works because you are on the same network. In order to reach your computer when using mobile data on your phone, you must do BOTH of: ssh to your ...

I'm Budius, the developer of the WiFi Shoot! and I must say that J4velin's explanation is really spot on and pretty sad. I started developing it just because I saw this cool technology and no one was using it but it only proved to be a big headache. Even during development (I was using a Transformer TF300 and a Galaxy Nexus) it took me much more time than ...
