comment How to prevent Android from creating LOST.DIR on SD card?
I wonder if that directory could be the equivalent of lost+found on unix systems.

comment “Charging paused. Battery temperature too high” while connected to car charger
I wonder if you can measure the Ampere of your car charger. The Galaxy S2 may not be able to handle this.

The car chargers I use gives 1 A. What does your wall charger for that device specify as max Ampere?

comment Why do linux commands not work properly on android?
@KshitizSharma toolbox was new to me, I've used Busybox before. There's not much documentation about toolbox, I got me the source from android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/jb-mr1-release/… to look at each command's parameters.

@KshitizSharma Look into /system/bin with adb shell, most programs are a symlink to toolbox. See the first answer in androidquestions.org/threads/189-Android-Command-Reference

Most commands are not the original gnu versions, they are either from toolbox or busybox and mostly stripped down versions.

comment How to get an alarm / warning when it starts to rain
All I could think of is like examining a radar picture, e.g. from dwd.de => Deutschlandwetter => Radarbild, but it is always 15 minutes late. So the app must check a bigger area on the picture, then it could warn you in advance.

comment “press” spacebar on website
You can also use the greasemonkey plugin (in firefox) and simply add it online. The site owner will not be aware of it.

This is just html with javascript. Copy it to another site and modify the code (put a button in it).

comment Lost all files on /sdcard when transfering files from PC
If you haven't rebooted since that, try adb logcat >n7.txt, maybe you find some hints in it.

There is a step missing before 5, where you backup the userdata.

@ce4 Indeed, I was thinking of a repeater, but I learned that this is not possible.

There are several wifi tethering apps, some even don't need rooting. Guess where you can search.

comment nexus 7 says it's charging but it isn't
When you press power off and it hibernates, it goes to a deep sleep. You can still wake it up by a long press on the power button.

comment nexus 7 says it's charging but it isn't
You can't remove the battery that easy. I guess there is some app that's consuming too much power, and with normal usb charging it pulls only 500 mA. Reboot the device and try again.

comment Cannot turn Nexus 7 on after locking the screen
I remember that behaviour too, but not in the last 2 months, iirc. Have you updated to the last version (4.2.1)? Could you still get a response by adb shell or adb logcat?
