Tried to buy an app on play store today using Axis Debit Card, SBI credit card and HDFC credit card but in every case it failed to recognise. What could be the reason?

Almost all major CC works! ICICI debit card too. No comments on SBI CC though.

Strange! I use SBI credit card for buying apps from play store, it works for me.

 

[sksundram]

Yeah, 3 different cards but it didn't work for me.

 

[ZTR]

Try HDFC VCC that works on play store

Guys whenever I compose a new SMS in my android phone and upon selecting which used to send I get for same contact multiple information which I assume includes details like his email address.

Is there any settings which will enable me to select only those contacts who have mobile number saved in either my SIM or Phone instead of contacts who don't have phone number. I guess these contacts are being imported from my gmail account.

Guys any response on the above.

 

[Vyom]

^ Yup. There is a setting where you can restrict the contacts to those only which have numbers.
In my Lg Optimus P500 (running Cyanogenmod's Kitkat) it's on this screen:

Try to find the above screen from "People" (contact list) app, and uncheck categories other than, "My Contacts".

How to stop apps from starting whenever the WiFi or packet data is switched on?

Am I only one who LOVES the speech to text capability of an android 2.3.6 . I was under the impression, that only jellybean has speech to text commands, I was thankfully wrong!

Me too sometimes. Saves me the trouble to type long sentences. And also to impress others.

I can't use greenify on Gingerbread .

Also, i want the apps to start when i want them to, not automatically. Freezing and then unfreezing them is not a good option for me.

@Vyom I wasn't able to find the settings which help me in having only contacts with phone number displayed while texting.

You can try Autorun manager. It is the closest to greenify that you can get on gingerbread. It identifies on what events an app autostarts, you can choose to disable those events when you don't want the app to run stealthily in the background.

I want the apps like Facebook and Tapatalk to not start automatically or access the internet while i've switched on the packet data to use other apps which require internet like Android Download Manager or Whatsapp. I think i require a autostart disabling app or something like that.

Tweak the notification settings in individual apps
