[Dell Venue] tintin169:
Everything about my Dell Venue is fine except one big problem... after a while the memory will get low and even though I uninstall everything it will continue the problem until I reset the phone back to factory default.....which is bad......

Recently I found out that by using Root Explorer and delete /data/systemlog/ XXX.log(or folder inside) can save a lot of memory! What I did is keeping only up to recent month's log and delete the rest (I think don't even need the recent month just to be safe...) I have got 250MB memory back!!! It is more than half! ...any way now my Venue runs great and have no problem.

This way seems the only way to solve memory low problem, I hope it is a dell problem not the Android one. For someone knows please share....Thanks!
[Dell Venue] npspears:
Thanks. I had done a factory reset too to get my data back. It worked but I did notice that I was losing internal memory again even though most of my apps were going to the SD card. Your solution works! I have gained back almost 100 MB. I didn't have this problem on my Dell Streak so I'm thinking this must be a Venue problem. I was using DJ Steve's froyo ROM though too.
[Dell Venue] vittayach:
Thanks, at last i've got my memory back. Luckily i found this post before i do the factory reset
[Dell Venue] nghoanglong:
I found nothing in this folder, even sub-folders do not exist. I chose Log to SD Card to prevent log files to eat ROM. However, my ROM keeps reducing. Please advice.
[Dell Venue] tintin169:
Did you root your Dell? Use root explorer search *.log may be you will find it...
[Dell Venue] j_mullet:
Is it safe to delete anything with the .log extension in the systemlog folder?
[Dell Venue] rapol.goutham:
Yes... its safe.... but it will be better if you don't delete last 3 folders (eg.110914_132252, kwakelock, wakelock,) and files in systemlog folder...

/data/systemlog/

Is there any app that instead of sending the voicemail to the network it records it on to the phone?

Voicemail for me is not included in my monthly minutes, so I can end up with quite a large percentage of my phone bill being voicemail.

I'm running RCMixS on my HTC Desire

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohamstergo:
never heard of such an app. in order to record it on your phone, your phone would have to answer the call and play a recording to the caller, then record the message, still using your minutes.

use google voice for your voicemail. that way you can check it using data. or check it via your computer. either way, you arent wasting minutes on it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnw:
I'm from the UK so i can't get google voice. My problem is that phoning voice mail from my phone doesn't use my minutes, its charged as an extra, which i have to pay a connection fee and then i have to pay per minute.

If say the phone was to automatically pick up the call after X amount of rings and then record and save the voicemail to an mp3 or something then I could just play the voicemail back through the app or a media player without having anything to do with the network, therefore avoiding playing their ridiculous fees.

I don't know about other countries but in the UK we only pay for outgoing calls.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deofavente:
Local Voicemail App

I'd like to break it down into what features it would need.

Can anyone find the time to program an app that has these features?

Features:

1. Answers automatically (after 3 or 4 rings?)

2. Mutes Mic/Speaker

3. Plays Greeting message (I'm sorry no one can answer...)

4. Listens for tones (To leave a message for Tom, press 2, etc.)

5. Plays subsequent messages (You've reached Tom's box...)

6. Records message left as an MP3 (sdcard/Voicemails/Tom/Message01.mp3)

7. Ends call automatically (after listening/recording message for 120s)

8. Allows you to customize by loading greeting MP3s or recording them in the app

9. Filenames based on Contact name (or unknown...?)

10. Different Contacts get different Greeting algorithms (Bill collectors get "I'm sorry. The number..."?)

11. Alerts when new mp3s recorded or SDcard close to full.

12. Playback from chosen record folder.

13. Sort file playback by (From/To/Length)

14. Other features I haven't thought of yet...

I think many people would find this app useful. It has more features than normal voicemail, and shouldn't use up data. (Mine has a 200MB limit).

Hi all :-)

This is my first post, so sorry in advance for any mistakes i make

Heres the situation...

i own an xperia play, which i then rooted, so that i could underclock to save battery life...

since then, there has been an official update, which i can not update with as i have unlocked the bootloader...

i have already contacted sony ericsson support, and they have told me that all i can try is flashing with a sony ericsson rom...

What im asking is does anyone know how to do this and where to download an original sony ericsson rom from for the xperia play (i have the UK version)

Thanks in advance :-D

I normally don't request themes as the themers and devs here have satisfied all of my needs but I came across this:

and I was wondering if anybody was up to porting it to ComROM 2.0

I understand it is a CM7 theme being ported to a TouchWiz based ROM but it can still be done.

Anyways, if nobody is up to it, it isn't a huge deal. I may be the only one who wants it but I would appreciate it if somebody tried.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] TheMuffStuff:
Thats really nice. If no other themer wants to do it, I guess I can try, It will give me something to do, I never had cm7 or played with it so I dont know how similar it is to non cm7. Ill try though.

Nicee, good man. Im sure you can find someone to take on this theme.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andre.Belliard:
Last night I was using Root Tools and decided to try out the 'font installer'. I tried out the 'Droid' font and was not fond of it, nor any of the other fonts. I reverted to the stock font but noticed the pattern unlock screen clock in the top left still had the Droid font. I tried getting it back to the stock font but have no idea how to do it at this point. I want to revert everything to the stock; I find all the other ones rather ugly.

Any help would be much appreciated !

Edit: Even through the settings on the captivate (settings>sound and display> fonts) it won't revert back to normal.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andre.Belliard:
I guess what I'm asking is if someone can post the default/stock captivate fonts and tell me how to 're-apply' them ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
There is a collection of fonts in the themes forum. I would try installing one of those, applying it, and restore to the stock font. Do this through the font selection in display settings, instead of that other app. Maybe applying and restoring though the "official" way will revert it for you.

I don't know what that app does. If it replaces the fonts in your system folder with a new font, that method may not fix the original font, but there is dozens of fonts, you may find one you like better than stock.

I've successfully rooted my nook color 1.2 but seem to have problems with Android Market. Sometimes it downloads and installs apps, but more often it doesn't. It will download but not install. I'm thinking it is because the Market is an older version and not the newer? How do I update the Market to the most current version? I've tried downloading an apk and sideloading (using adb) into /system/app/ but I get an error that it's a read-only file system.

Has anyone successfully updated Market so it actually works? If so, how do you do it?

I moved to CM7 beta 6 a week ago and there's just one things which I wanna change about it, i.e. the keyboard. Earlier I was running Defy Cool&Clean on 177-nordic and liked it's keyboard a lot. So was thinking if I could get the old keyboard on my CM7 (3.4.3-11).

hi there, i found a method on the web about taking screenshots.it was saying only works for galaxy s with android 2.2 but i tried it and succeeded on my galaxy ace with villain rom.

as i said, no app or root is needed.

like i said i tried it with villain rom.and it worked as a charm.who have kpe or 2.2 please post if it works or not!

Method :

in the screen you want to take screenshot ( homescreens, menu's, or game screens, etc ) press and hold the back button in the riht corner.while holding it, press menu key once.and a notification will say the screenshot is taken.that is all.

your screenshots will be saved automatically in a folder screenshots.

Because not always does the method work, when the app you are taking screenshot of might return back to previous screen while pressing the Back button. Also other screenshot methods let you capture just by shaking the phone, so no key presses required and helps in better timing.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackfoot:
disappearing widgets...

@psufan5 -- are you still having this problem?

mine has started doing the exact same thing -- 2 out of the 5 homescreens lose ALL their widgets, not one or two widgets, but all.

did some reading up on this and it appears this issue has been around for a while (early 2010), some people have managed to restore theirs by rebooting, in my case that isn't working.

this has happened twice now in as many weeks, and is becoming a major pain.

also mentioned in various other sites was that it might be related to phone only apps, as opposed to tablet optimised ones, but again in my case that's not true -- I do have Palmary Weather, Extended Controls and Circle Launcher on my main homescreen, but I also have the built-in 'neon' clock and date & time widget and they disappear too.

I am running Revolver 2.1.2 & Clemsyn v8, but no-one else has mentioned this issue with this ROM. It happens whether the dock is connected or not. But as the issue was reported originally a year and a half ago, I think this ROM is unlikely to be the cause.

Not using APPS2SD of any form.

Any help, hints, pointers or links would be appreciated. (An actual fix would be very much appreciated!) ;)

I've already frozen/uninstalled apps I bought after that time period (4 weeks to be sure), but it's still there, removed all the freebies just in case etc., etc., etc.

Searched the entire (well a microscopic part anyway) internet and tried the various suggested fixes -- to no avail.

I've just installed the latest ADW Launcher which has a desktop backup/restore option to try and at least minimise the effort involved in rebuilding my homescreens.
