Problems accessing message logs on Jelly Bean with aLogcat @Flow - Yeah, and the whole point of log messages is that you can use them to find out what's going on. JB makes an app like aLogcat pretty pointless, since it can now only access log messages it has created itself! |

Is Evernote a malicious app? @RichardBorcsik - You seemed to miss the point that I was speaking in general. Since I shouldn't have been doing this anyway, I've deleted my comments. |

How can I get my MK808 mini Android PC to output to my TV? My MK802 defaults to 720p60 (an unusual choice) when it first starts up, so you may want to check that your TV supports whatever mode your MK808 defaults to. How long have you waited for it to boot? If you are expecting instant-on you may be disappointed. *8') |

HTC Desire - ran out of storage - can't interpret solutions offered - need help! Welcome to Stack Exchange Tlwidmer. Generally speaking it's better to improve existing questions and answers rather than duplicate them, so if you don't understand the answers over at How can I free up more space on my Android (2.2 Froyo) phone? then please feel free ask questions about specific things you have a problem with. When you get to 50 reputation you will be able to add comments to request clarification. |

How to use camera without unlocking phone? (Jelly Bean on S3) @roxan - The other question was talking about 2.2 and the answers were saying things like this should be fixed in ICS, while this question is specifically about jelly-bean, so unless there is a specific policy on cross-version duplicates (I've just checked on meta and can't find one) I don't think this is an exact duplicate. |

Why is Android System always keeping my phone awake? @ZongLi - By the way, it is usually the case that if an answer is good enough to be accepted (the tick) then it should be good enough to deserve an up vote (This answer is useful), so you might want to click on the up arrow whenever you click on the tick, so people feel appreciated. *8') |

Is it possible to use an Android phone as network disk, so I can browse it on my TV? @spambas - On Stack exchange sites is is better to edit your question with information requested by comments. That way the question stands on its own and the comments can be tidied (deleted) later on, hence my suggested edit. |

Is it possible to use an Android phone as network disk, so I can browse it on my TV? Ah, it took me a while to understand how this answer related to the question, but I see what you are suggesting. Can you think of any way of doing this without root? |

32gig sd card corrupt You may also want to check that your memory card isn't a fake, which can also lead to what appears to be corruption. |

How can I change the user agent string sent by Chrome on my Nexus 7? No problem, stack exchange sites take a little getting used to if you are only familiar with web forum culture, so I don't mind helping people get started. |

How can I change the user agent string sent by Chrome on my Nexus 7? Incidentally, on stack exchange it is usually better to comment on a question rather than add an answer which doesn't actually answer the question. |

How can I change the user agent string sent by Chrome on my Nexus 7? I tried using Phoney with Firefox, but although the iPlayer website shows pages without either install flash or use external app messages, it still won't play the streams, hence looking for a solution for Chrome. |

Nexus 7 as a remote home controller Note that you can use a VPN tunnel to connect to a private network, even when you are connected remotely. That way, you are effectively on the same network even when you aren't directly connected to it. |

How can I access android log files on my Nexus 7 without root access? @Izzy - The point of this question is that all of the solutions in my other question (which I linked to in this question) require root access. While these solutions are useful to those who have rooted their devices, I wanted a more specific solution for those who haven't rooted their device. |

How can I access android log files on my Nexus 7 without root access? Thanks for adding in the pm grant option. Note that as I now say in my other answer, you need to specify a slightly different package if you aren't using the donate version of aLogcat: pm grant org.jtb.alogcat android.permission.READ_LOGS |

Problems accessing message logs on Jelly Bean with aLogcat @Flow - I've now confirmed that I can view the log on my PC using adb logcat from there and have updated my answer accordingly. It's still frustrating that I can't find any way to access the logs without root access from the device itself. |
