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 ...

VLC supports such a feature. It is the official Android version of the world-famous VLC media player. You can change the volume of what you are listening with it while your phone screen is locked. It is available for free on the Google Play Store. VLC is still in Beta status however it is quite stable and it works well.
It should be noted that VLC is only ...

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 ...

Take a look at this forum: http://www.htcforums.com/desire-x/12477-updated-4-1-1-no-fm-radio.html. The only other way (I know) to get a fm radio on your device is to root it or install an .apk from outside the Play Store.

In CM they have a hack (or implementation) so that you can change the volume over the lockscreen by pressing the volume up/down key. Also pressing it multiple times will seek/change the track. Now I had two cellphones Optimus one from LG (GB) and another mobistel clone (running ICS) and the CM rom worked for both of them. Firstly requesting, include 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?

A possible solution is to reset all the defaults:
Settings > Apps > Menu > Restore App preferences (or something, I have a Dutch version installed)

The LockerPro app was reseting my screen lock time to 15 seconds.
(the Android system should offer a way to check who is changing the system settings)

It stopped to ask my password after about 4 reboots, or 4 days. I don't know what was causing the problem.

Another good app for changing the volume is Audio Mode Switcher.
There you can do everything according to automatically switching the audio-profile in one App.
You can define a weekly schedules to switch to a given profile. You can schedule multiple start and end times (i.e. when you go to sleep etc.).
It also offers a calendar integration, where you can ...

I actualy got it by doing the update from a Windows 7 computer. Kies seems to have difficulties with Windows 8.

Finally, I did a factory reset on my S2 and now the battery lasts the way it used to with ICS. ):

I literally had to scavenge the code up and down to get to the solution. A xml called defaults.xml contains the default input method node. That needed to be changed to the package name of the JellyBean's LatinIME. This is yet to be tested; will let you all know if it runs okay.

There's a difference between "how much the Android OS requires" and "how much the manufacturer reserved". Remember, the OS has its own partition (/system), which is mounted read-only during normal operation (just made writable for OS updates), while the user's data goes to /data. Moreover, most manufacturers add their own "presents" (also known as bloatware) ...

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 ...

There are a number of unofficial applications in the market (Google Play, Amazon). I've also developed my own application: Learn On The Go. A free version is here! Learn On The Go Free - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.realex.free

Well I think I panicked too soon. It was slow because it needs to sync and index all the media files and may be some other sync. I found it out from one of my friends and also experienced it after seeing my media files (video, music etc.) getting added to the list one by one. When I upgraded to ICS there was no media in my device, so it was ready with full ...

According to this link: http://developer.android.com/guide/google/gcm/gcm.html
GCM requires devices running Android 2.2 or higher that also have the Google Play Store application installed....

Samsung Kies sucks horribly. The only way I've gotten it to work is to run it in Compatible with Windows XP (Service Pack 3) and running it as a administrator. It should work fine then.

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 ...

In the official Yahoo! Mail app, Yahoo recently changed the layout so that the Settings menu is no longer accessed by pressing the "Menu" button.
Launch the app and tap the little < arrow next to the "Inbox" label on the upper-left corner of the screen. This will reveal the Folders menu. Scroll it down to the "Tools" section, tap on Settings, then tap ...

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 have the same problem and I found that it's the WiFi. If I turn the WiFi off, battery drain is less than 15% in 12 hours for my use. Yesterday I turned the WiFi on in the afternoon and the battery was at 96%. I stayed home connected to my WiFi all day and did not use the phone all afternoon. At 8:30PM the battery was down to 19%.
