 comment What is the reason why you can not install programs on the external memory in android?
There are already several questions on this topic having answers you might want to check: How can I move apps to the external SD card, Storing Apps on internal storage (sounds like the opposite, but the answer explains the background), Install apps to sd card by default, Everything gets saved to the phone instead of SD card, and more.

 comment Question about exception in ChooserActivity
Welcome to the Android Enthusiasts! This site is for users of Android, which means that questions about development/programming are off-topic here (see the FAQ). Development questions are on-topic on our sister site Stack Overflow.

 comment My phone- HTC One V reboots when I insert my SDCARD
Please check if that solves your issue. If it does, it would be nice to accept the answer -- which then helps other possibly affected users to recognize the solution as such. Thank you!

 comment Know of an app that lets you transfer a text message conversation into an email?
@DanHulme Though I came to the same conclusion: Strange then that OP accepted SMSBackup+ as answer...

 comment Stuck on “Turning Wi-Fi on…”
Oh -- yes, that's definitly your fault then :) You didn't think of making a backup of that file first, or simply rename it instead of deleting? Well, next time you know better then :) Don't forget to update us. You might even want to answer your own question once you've solved your issue!

 comment Samsung Galaxy Y Duos Lite vs Amaze S200 vs Thunder A350 - Which one to buy?
Check the first link again then -- I've updated half of the answers with more specific information. Especially a couple of sites where shopping issues are on-topic :)

 comment Samsung Galaxy Y Duos Lite vs Amaze S200 vs Thunder A350 - Which one to buy?
Looks like that aspect is missing (I will check). So I must guess. It's on-topic in most forums (sometimes in special areas). You might check e.g. on XDA, AndroidPIT, and other forums. I'll add something to the linked question meanwhile.

 comment Issue with Cord and USB Debugging
The USB connector has 4 pins, only two of them are needed for charging. So it could very well be that one of the other two strands got broken. As your third cable works, the fault obviously is neither in your tablet nor your computer -- so it has to be the cable.

 comment 504 Error when downloading an app from Google Play Store
@Peanut that question had two answers (one was deleted), and now has two answers again (I added one). Point is: a user might not use it as target for duplicates unless it has an upvoted/accepted answer (a rule which was added a few months ago). I marked that for our mods to check. Alternatively, you might upvote one of the answers, and then we can proceed ourselves :) Abdifatah: Please check the answers on the other question and let us know whether they solved your issue.

@DanHulme when it displays the MAC as "unavailable", that's as if there's no WiFi card/chip existing, so you cannot activate WiFi as there is no supporting hardware. Giovanni: Have you tried rebooting the device? Last ressort (after a full backup) would be a factory-reset. If that doesn't solve the issue, and you're still under warranty, let them have it back (exchange/repair/money back if none of the other two).
