That depends on the Android version installed, and whether the device is rooted and has a custom recovery, to begin with. Also important: what and how many apps you've installed, and how you configured it. Wait: All wrong? ALL? Oh. Guess in that case it's an Android-independent phone question, and expressly off-topic here (see our help center). — Izzy4 hours ago
@DanHulme Yupp. A bit frustrated about Q/A quality (combination SR and here). Was I too harsh? Should I remove that? Bang, if people could at least read the help/on-topic before posting. Takes a minute or two...
And now I even got kicket out from chat ("you must be logged in to post"). Yuck.
@DanHulme I wasn't sure which stack, but that was my guess as well.
@DanHulme On my way. Just had to check something :)
Btw: How did you quote the comment here to chat, keeping the link intact?
Wait, I have a guess...
You can't say "your files are completely safe," given Dropbox's poor security record. This is the company that once set up the site so that any password would work to log into any account. — Dan Hulme10 mins ago
Ah :)
And Ouch! They really did that?
I know why I wouldn't trust them with sensitive data (though I have an account there meanwhile, just for "checking it"). But that even shocks me!
I think our help-center need some minor phrasing updates. Checking e.g. the "on-topic" page:
Android-independent phone questions, such as "Does Carrier X have prepaid plans?"
(emphasis mine), we should have "phone" replaced by "device" in most cases. Tablets are around for quite a whi...
I am looking fo a "Do not Disturb"-Mode Application (like on iOS) that does at least the following (on an unrooted phone)

Downvote seems harsh, I know he's mentioned the word "application" but it is a very specific task he's looking for, and only a very slight change would be needed to make it a "I'm looking for a way to..."
It wasn't me either, but I thought the "Maximum Price of $5" at the end takes the biscuit
as for only a slight change being needed, it's such a shopping-list of requirements it could easily turn into several "how do I" questions
"I'm looking for an app that computes the time of sunrise, sets the alarm clock to that time automatically (but only on Monday to Thursday), and when the alarm goes off, plays La Marseillaise for exactly 47 seconds while displaying a picture of Nicolas Sarkozy in the nude, and then emails the BBC a rude comment to read out on the breakfast news. But only if I'm on Wi-Fi. Is there an app that does this?"
@bmdixon Yes, definitly. Fits all criteria we defined so far. Well, mentioning the Android version would not hurt, but apart from that, I'd say it would be welcome.
Need to check back when we're leaving closed beta. Discussion was to prolong CB for additional 1-2 weeks, to get our "rules" clear (things like "are requests for video games off-topic" and the like)
@GAThrawn Definitly.
Edited the Q and voted for re-open. Should be a good match now. And yes, Tasker of course: even meets the "$5" (depending on whether its US$ or Zimbabwe $, of course).
@DanHulme Even made that fit with my edit (at least I hope so)
@DanHulme LOL But I prefer a variant with a different tune and actor. Could you make that configurable, please? #D
We have an extraneous tag (droid4) that should be synonymized to motorola-droid-4.
Some typo and naming divergence...
notification and notifications
hangouts and google-plus-hangouts
