[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Odinbear:
(I'm Not having a go at the above poster).

Thats all well and good but if you use Googlemaps (Navigation) with the offline maps ala Htc Desire and others You can quickly use several gig of space.

add to that Copilot maps 2.5Gb or Aura 2.2Gb and that 16Gb dosn't seem so big, lol..

I bought a 32Gb SD Card for the Dock and now know that its a waste of time as you have to manually open any music or films as they dont appear in the Gallery etc.

I also bought a 32Gb Micro SD Card for the tablet which is where I want to put Downloads and the Gallery Also the Navigation Maps. But the apps wont see the data so again why have them.

So all in all extra storage appears to be a waste of time.

Hopefully some of the Guru's here can sort this out as Its crazy to have all this available space and not be able to use it.

Lordgodgeneral already answered this when you brought it up the first time, but it is simple to transfer any of your media files over to the SD card. Yes when you first download your pics they will be stored on internal memory, but you can manually move them over to the sd card and they will still be recognized by the transformer. I believe the stock file manager will work for this, but I personally use root explorer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosty5689:
That has more to do with the app itself. If an app lets you set where it saves, it'll work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylehase:
It may be possible to have all the internal storage dedicated to apps (/data) and point /sdcard to the removable micro SD card with some fstab modifications. I'll try this tonight and see what happens.

HD GAMES????

ok guys i see last post was on june but do you realise that the new HD games coming out are about nearly 1 g of space some? there must be a freaking way to install apps or games on SD card omfg wy do i want extenral storage to keep mi fotos and music? this is bull**** guys pls lets get some way to have our games or programs that occupie more than 700mb out of internal memory there must be some way... pls scratch your brain ask friends ask parents ask teachers this is very serious....

Best regards... TF user... rooted ofcourse
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steini81:
Ithink its better to loose the games if somthing damages your internal storage. I have the 32 gb Transformer and thats more than enough for games. You can not play 30 games at the same time and if you bakup your game and gamedata you can uninstal a game and install it again if you whant to play it.

I dont understand why people always ask for intstall something on Micro SD card. Intrenal storage is much faster than a card.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxvsmith:
I can actually agree on the poster above. The reason why installing something on Micro SD card is important is for apps and games like he said. The days of storing GB's of music, movies, and photos is slowly fading away because services like spotify, rdio, netflix, and other streaming, or cloud services are around now. But app storage is another thing. I have an iPhone (Sorry to admit i was a different person back then) and I have 32GB. I have 22 GB of apps on my phone...yes some of them are probably crap that I'll never use (more on my computer) but there are a lot I do use. I did not originally intend to get the transformer as a gaming device but the huge screen and beautiful graphics. If they keep releasing Tegra 2/HD games it will fill up fast.

I also thought the whole advantage of android is extra space with Micro SD Slots and everything. At the very least you can use the keyboard dock for USB Storage Devices which really replaces any need or use for a Micro SD slot.

I found my old Micro SD from an old phone and was excited that I can have a little extra space but I guess I don't really need it. I'm glad I don't have to shell out extra money at least. I hope ICS does allow to install apps to micro sd.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
Right, this is scary. My previous phone only had like 140-180 megs of space for apps and data, so installing to MSD was important. The Transformer has so much storage space I don't know how anyone could run out of app space.

I bought the 32GB model because music/video has to share space with checkouts/clones of various source trees, and thanks to Google Music, I should've saved my $$$.

can we use link2sd with rooted tf101?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baller625:
there must be a way to install or move apps to the micro sd card, as that option was available before for phones but with the transformer as its internal sd is like merged right you get the full amount of space to use anyway but with all these new hd apps navigation apps taking 2gb games like nova 3 and modern combat 3 all with over 1gb, isnt there a way to remap or change the pathway from moving apps to external micro sd card rather than the internal one which we already have full use of anyway like in titanium backup cant we change where to move the apps to? pleaseeeee somone help i bought a 64gb micro sd for my tf201 thinking i would be able to move my large data apps to the micro sd ive rooted my tablet aswell yet still cant find a way tried all those app2sd type apps still no use annyone help please!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob fishman:
Probably a stupid question; I did try searching and I couldn't find anything so here goes.

Pretty much what I said in the title, is there any way to get the alarm to play an entire song? It is very jarring when you're just starting to rock out in the morning and the song ends abruptly. To be honest it's so demoralizing it makes me want to just go back to sleep.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] profalbert:
You can use some third-party-app for that.

I use "Alarmdroid". It can do that and much more.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guatebus:
Ridiculous

Isn't it ridiculous that the default app would have this limitation, and have it not be configurable, forcing users to get other apps?

[Android Apps and Games] beetnubbin:
An ugly duckling perhaps...

I have moded the HIAPK teams sense-like dialler to make it look as much like stock sense as I can, I even borrowed the HTC dialler icon.

It's small (about 1.1MB for me), fast, simple, and now it looks good too. What more could you ask for? You've probably got room in your system partition for it seeing as how I managed to squash it into oxygen with oxygen hboot.

The Zip is not signed so you'll have to push it onto the phone. If somebody else could sign it or make a flashable zip for those that can't that'd be great. I tried using sign apk but it did't work and I don't have time to figure it out.

It's not perfect! I've gotten rid of the grey banding on the list successfully. Would have like to change the colour instead of having it all white.

Also, the app uses 1 png for all the buttons so the large ones are stretched. If somebody else knows how to change the xmls so we can add another png for the big buttons we can make it look nice and sharp!

Credit to Hi apk team!

Enjoy!

Hey everyone,

a user from the android-hilfe.de forum mentioned the idea of an app that i found very interesting. I then started implementing stuff and here i want to present you the first usable beta version of the app.

It is a community quiz. You can post quiz questions, other users answer them and place their bid on their answer. At the end you close the question with the correct answer and everyone is rewarded according to their bids.

Please help beta testing that app. Please note that in this very first beta, no work has been done for layout and design. See it as a functional prototype. Although i would be very thankful for design/layout ideas, maybe some even wants to help me? :)

I'm really looking forward to your feedback :)

Here is the link to a simple beta page that i hacked together: http://quizzer-android.appspot.com

And of course the corresponding QR code:

[Android Apps and Games] mikael120:
good concept for an app, will probably be pretty fun when its finished, but right now the app is extremely unstable, sometimes it just exits right after I opened it, it always force closes when it tries to load the "by date" list in the "list of questions" section. The "by potsize" list usually works though that sometimes crashes too, in addition to all that the app seems to sometimes crash at completely random times.

In running the app on the LG Optimus 2x Phone, running CM7 Nightly build 21.

ps: on the registration part of the app, you only ask for the password once, its pretty common to ask for the password twice to avoid people mistyping the password, this does't really bother me that much but when you are typing on the android virtual keyboard it pretty easy to mistype something and not notice it, before you try to login to your app account.

ps2: If you don't mind me asking, I'm a bit curious about how you store account information, do you store the email & password in plain text? or do you hash & salt them? I'm just curious because I don't like to use services that doesn't protect their user data properly.

gmail seems to categorize your emails as spam, just thought you would like to know.

oh and btw, not to be rude or anything but it would be nice if you could actually give us some kinda response to the feedback we have given you instead of just completely ignoring it.
[Android Apps and Games] Goddchen:
Hey everybody,

it has been two busy days for me, unfortunately not two busy Android days... I really thank you for you feedback so far and i am excitingly reading through the notification mails as they arrive. I just didn't have the time to answer or even code on the project.

@mikael, is this really the level you want continue this conversation? I do also have a reallife besides Android, sorry. Did you ever try to get one of your cars throught german TÜV? ;) Then you know what is was doing the past two days...

I'll get back to you guys tomorrow and answer all the questions :)

Goddchen
[Android Apps and Games] mikael120:
sorry, as I said it was not meant as an insult, I do understand that you probably have other non android related stuff to do, It just that when you posted a post after I posted my feedback without responding at all, it seemed like you were intentionally ignoring my feedback, but if thats not he case then sorry I misunderstood you, I'm usually a pretty nice guy so please don't get the wrong idea, I have nothing against you or anything like that.
[Android Apps and Games] Goddchen:
Ok guys, here we go :)

Sorry that i weren't able to respond in the past two days, you already know why ;) It was hard to find the time to fix that annoying FC bug when opening the questions list but i thought that was more important at that time then responding here since it renders the app useless.

Ok let's start :)

Should be fixed in the current version :)

There was an additional bug in the update code for the header of the main screen. Hopefully that is fixed now too and you won't experience those random FCs.

Good idea, will definitely integrate it

The password is hashed on your phone so that it never get's transmitted over the network in plain text and i can't see your plaintext password either. The email is stored as plaintext so that i can send you a mail if anything important is going on (like yesterdays mail about that critical bugfix). The backend of the app is hosted on GoogleAppEngine by the way. Feel free to suggest any other strategies on storing or transmitting values. The values that are stored for a user are: your activation token, an active flag, answer count, question count, key of your avatar in the gae blogstore, mail, nickname, pass (hash), and your QZRs.

damn, thanks for the note.

What do you mean?

damn, will have a look at this. They arrive just fine in my gmail inbox.

And a question from my side:

I have also implement a function for sending mass in-app notifications (appear on your notification screen in the app). Which way to be informed about critical updates do you prefer? mail or in-app notification. In one of the next versions i will add an optional background service that shows incoming notification on the phone's notification bar, too.

Looking forward to read your responses :) Goddchen
[Android Apps and Games] mikael120:
as for the admob thing I'm guessing what todayist meant was that when the ad placeholder was displayed in the the top of your app it was wider than the app itself which allowed you to scroll within the admob object, but this only seems to happens with the placeholder ad, real ads seems to work as they should.

as for the notification thing I don't mind getting them by email, but there are a lot of people that probably do mind that, so if I were you I'd implement some preference thing that allowed a user to choose between email notifications and in app notifications.

I also have a couple of questions/feature requests:

first of all I think it would be nice it the person that has created a question would be able to actually see what people have answered on the question, that would be useful information to see whether or not the question was to hard or too easy.

in addition I'm wondering how you are going to stop people from screwing around with the questions, because as it is right now, you rely on the people creating questions to actually include and choose the right answer, somebody could easily screw people by simply choosing the wrong answer as the right answer, doing that could probably also be used cheat.

I also think that when a question is closed the users that answered on that question should be able to see what the right answer was, maybe you could even add a "report wrong answer" button that, if enough people pressed it would make a mod check whether the answer was actually correct, and if it wan't the people answering on the question should be refunded the game money that they bet on the question.

I know that would probably be a bit complicated but it would decrease the problem of people cheating by choosing the wrong answer as the right answer.

in addition to all that I have a question, its pretty obvious that acquiring QZRs is pretty important in this game (you even plan to allow people to buy QZRs using paypal and in-app purchase) but my question is, what is the point of the QZRs right now they can only be used to place bets, do you plan on adding some kind of store or reward stuff that can only be bught/unlocked by using QZR?
[Android Apps and Games] Goddchen:
strange i have set a max height now so that this shouldn't happen again

In latest dev version a setting has been added to the profile to choose between notification/mail/both

available in beta2 :) a pie chart with the answers and their counts

Good point. But to solve this? Forcing the set the correct answer on question creation? Any other ideas?

displaying the correct answer on closed questions is available in beta2. I'm working on the report button :)

Not sure how to do it exactly but in the future i'd like to give users additional benefits for their QZRs besides being on top of the leaderboard. Any ideas how to do it?

I really wanna thank you for your feedback. It has helped me a lot in the development for beta2. And i will make sure that most if not all of it will be available in beta3 :)

Goddchen
[Android Apps and Games] mikael120:
no problem :)

I do actually have some feedback about beta2 as well, primarily its seems like a good update, but there are still some things that bother me, first of all, after the beta2 update one of my questions seems to have become corrupted somehow.

The question I'm referring to is the "is the official name of android 3.1 icecream sandwich" question that I created under the user name mikael. The question has 2 answers, "True" and "False", but after the beta2 update my question now has 3 answers according to the pi-chart, the new option that suddenly appeared was "" in other word an empty string, currently 1 person has answered True, one has answered False, and 6 has answered "", which confused me since "" is not actually something you can select when you answer the question.

But I figured that out when I tried to close the answer, if I try to close the answer while the False otpion is selected the confirmation dialgue asks if I want to select "null" as the correct answer, the same happens if I try to select True as an answer, in other words both the true and the false answer point to the null string, which means that If anyone anwered the question after this bug occured their answer would be registered as null, instead of the option they actually selected, which expalins why 6 people apperantly answered "null". I have no idea what caused that bug, but I'm guessing its a database issue of some kind, so it something you will have to take a look at.

other than that I have another complaint, and I know that this is intentional but I think that allowing questions to stay live infinitely until they are closed is a bad idea, primarily because a lot of the questions seems to have been abandoned completely which means that everybody that answered on those questions basically just threw their game money away.

I think there should some time limit to when you have to close your question, something like 1 week or perhaps one month if you think that one week is too short. I have currently answered 7 questions on your app but only 2 of them has been closed, the other questions seem to have been abandoned by the question creator.

other than that though the app seems pretty good, I really appreciate the hard work you are putting into this app and I hope I don't put too much work on your shoulders with all of my complaints, questions and feature requests.
[Android Apps and Games] Goddchen:
That bug got introduced in beta2 and fixed in beta2.1 update. I'm really sorry.

Yeah that really is a big problem that is bothering me for days now. beta3 (which will be released today) introduces the 3 other limit types (days, date, answers). Those will be fine and exactly what you are explaining. I am unsure if i should keep the unlimited option in the app. Do you think it would be a good idea to remove it completely?

You are not putting too much work on my shoulders. I am happy about every feedback that i can get. Keep up giving me work! :D

Goddchen
[Android Apps and Games] Goddchen:
Yesterday i was thinking about how to make the release to the market. I want the beta testers to have a bonus for their work and help. So this is what i have come up with for a possible release to the android market:

Reset all beta tester accounts

Give all beta tester accounts 50 bonus QZRs

Remove all answers from all questions

Keep the questions so that there are some initial release questions

Make those questions owned by my account so that abandoned questions won't be a problem.

Do you have any suggestions to this?

Goddchen
[Android Apps and Games] Goddchen:
Just uploaded beta3 :)

http://quizzer-android.appspot.com/
[Android Apps and Games] mikael120:
sounds pretty good to me, but if you are expecting a lot of new users and questions after making the app available on the market then wouldn't it be a good idea to get some extra moderators to moderate the questions? Maybe you should pick some of the beta testers to be mods. thats your choice though, other than that I can't think of anything else to do before you put the app on the market.

oh and btw I am still receiving "null" answers on some of my questions which probably means that there are still someone who use the old app, would it be possible to somehow block "null" answers on the server side, so that so that people who still use the old version would not be able to submit answers without updating the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Goddchen:
Good point, i just pushed the update to the server, "" is now not allowed anymore.

Good point with the moderators. I can use any help :) Anyone interested? :)

Greets, Goddchen
[Android Apps and Games] mikael120:
I wouldn't mind helping you :) I have plenty of free time and as you have probably noticed I'm a pretty tech-savy guy, so I think I would be a pretty good moderator.

QUESTION

How to close a question psoted by me ??
[Android Apps and Games] Goddchen:
if you have beta3 installed, you can't anymore. The unlimited limit type has been removed and since all the other need to be submitted with a limit set it is no longer necessary to provide a close button.

But you can tell me which question you are talking about and i close it directly through the admin section.

PS: Release will be sunday i think :)

Greets, Goddchen
[Android Apps and Games] AvishDx:
I want to close the Tegra question !

And also close the question which are a week old coz many people have invested their qzrs .
[Android Apps and Games] Goddchen:
could you send me a PN with the questions and the correct answers?
[Android Apps and Games] AvishDx:
suggestions

I'm also interested in becoming an admin as I'm jobless !

And also sum improvements you can make to the app

Allow us to the see the profile of other people and the highest rank the have reached, implement sum medal kinda things (so that they get higher qzrs in return of a correct answer).

Also while creation of the profile include which language question they want to answer coz I can understand German so displaying German questions in my list is useless .

Also make some predefined tags.
