[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
From what I understand, app2sd functionality is built into Froyo & beyond. No need for a separate app.

In laymans terms, your 16GB internal sd is split in 2, 2GB for apps & 14 gb for data.I have 88 apps installed & it is only using 492MB of the 2GB. Apps install to the 2GB area, but the (and the system) use the 14 GB data area for storage. You can also use this space for dat/files storage as well.

The external microsd slot is generally used by you for data storage. You can use it for what ever you like. I use mine to store copies of different roms/nvflash, movies/video/pictures & music transferred from the PC.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faremoney:
looking to reviews about the Chacha and the Salsa, i tought it would be cool for geeks and social addicted like me to have a similar function to the facebook button on our sgs2

my (noob) question is: is there the possibility to change the long press of the home button to have a custom action? maybe twitter or facebook posting or something like that? is there an app or an hack to do this?

sorry if my question is dumb :P
[Acer Iconia A500] citizenklaw:
Well, I'll need to ask this question: do any of you guys know if Acer is going to bless us with a USB to proprietary connector for our Iconias?

Look, I've accepted the length of the power cord. One, it is what it is and two I can always go and buy an after market adapter which could be longer. Fine. What is unforgivable, to me, is that I need an AC plug and I can't use the myriad (at least three) AC to USB plugs that I have to charge my unit. Heck, I can even use my wife's iPad adapter to charge my EVO in a pinch.

It can be done as I assume that the docking station Acer sells can charge the unit. Besides if Sammy, Toshiba and Asus have similar things why can't Acer? If they come up with something like this they'll (to me) boost the value of my Iconia a bit: I can use USB and the other adapter to charge it.

C'mon Acer: get in gear!
[Acer Iconia A500] Jeckler:
I'm not 100% sure I understand the question, but I'll take a stab anyway.

It is impossible to charge through USB to the A500, either through the USB ports or the dock connector. USB only has a 5v signal on it, and I believe it's max current capacity is 500ma (per standard), whereas the A500 needs 12v and 1.5a of current.

Does that help?
[Acer Iconia A500] fincan:
USB 2.0 standard allows maximum output of 1.5 amperes, or 1.8 amps on a dedicated charge port with a special cable (e.g. cannot carry data but can only charge, I have never seen one by the way) at 5 volts. These 1.5 and 1.8 amps are for USB chargers by the way, computer USB 2 ports are all rated to a max. of 0.5 amps.

A500 needs 1.5 amps at 12 volts, which is roughly 2 times more current than the usb standard (Watts = Voltage x Amps), e.g. acer power brick supplies 18 watts vs a dedicated USB charger can only supply 9 watts at 1.5 amps. Most of the phone chargers that use USB cables are around 1 amp, making their max. output 5 watts vs 18 that acer needs.

In summary, it is not possible to charge A500 via USB.
[Acer Iconia A500] citizenklaw:
No, no, no....

I think I explained myself poorly.

You guys know that the on the bottom of the Iconia there's a connector; a proprietary connector. I assume that the unit can be recharged through there. So what I was saying is that there should be a cable that ends in that proprietary connector on one side, and on the other on a standard USB connector so that it can be charged. Very much like the iPad or the Samsung Galaxy.

I should have mentioned the word 'proprietary' :p
[Acer Iconia A500] fincan:
If I had read your original post carefully I would have noticed that :P

That would work if they made a 5 volt, 4 amp charger with removable usb cable on the charger end as you suggested, and we would be able to use that charger for everything else as well.
[Acer Iconia A500] citizenklaw:
Well...

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :-P
[Acer Iconia A500] karlkarloff:
Not to rain on your wishing parade, but it wouldn't work, even with the dock connector adapter. The batteries in these tablets are 7.3 volt Li-Po packs(I think thats the voltage at least) so they require at least 9 volts to charge them. Thats why the docks that Acer makes for these use the same power supply as the tablets themselves. Without high enough voltage, it wouldn't charge. I guess you could make a charger that would plug into the connector on the bottom, but you would end up having to use the same old power supply to get it to do anything. Conceivably you could make a double USB plug on the other end wired in series, that would bump it to 10 volts/500 ma and it would work as a trickle charger of sorts.

[XPERIA X10 General] Kolowner:
hi,

I've been searching the internet for quite a while now in a search for an application that will backup my sms AND mms messages.

Yes, I know about backing up to gmail, but when I need to restore it - it doesn't restore mms, it only does sms and I need BOTH.

I have mms messages that are very important to me since sometimes I write messages longer than 4 sms, it just doesn't matter to me how long is it so I end up with sending mms quite a lot of times. It is because of that it is very important for me to find a solid application that backs up mms along with ordinary sms.

I am doing this because when I update to 2.3.3. all of those messages will be lost and I want to have them in my phone at all times. Any good and working suggestions please?

Also, I have tried Android Sync Manager today and it says it backed up all the messages but when I go and try to restore them it says that restore failed (after the progress bar fills up), could that be because none of the messages has been deleted? I think that it should back them up even if they haven't been deleted, it's not like the program cares if I have 2 of each message right? So does ASM actually work and I'm supposed to update without being afraid for my mms and sms because it will restore once all messages are deleted or it doesn't work and you have a better solution?

Thank you :)

Have any of you tried the Tango app? It does video calling with front and rear cameras. Works perfectly, when I tested it between my brothers iPod Touch and my LG REVO.

yup I have Tango.. used it a couple times. works great thought the quality isnt so good on 3G..
[LG Revolution] ivalum21:
Update the app...go into settings, it shows it's only for the back facing camera. Tango is the only app that utilizes Revo's FFC right now. That is until it gets 2.3 and I believe Google standardized the FFC API, thus making it easier for devs to program for it.

Yeah your right my bad. O well I wouldn't use Skype anyways it will absolutely decimate your battery since its always running in case you get a call.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Hey! I was wondering what people's preference for dialers were - I know some of the more popular ones like Dialer One, GO Contacts (I have have GO SMS Pro, so I feel this would have good integration with that), and TAKEphONE. I am going to go try out a few of these now, but I was wondering for people who have had these apps for a while and had prolonged use, which do they prefer/like/dislike? Just in case this matters, I am on a rooted phone with BAMF Sense 3.0 RC4.9 (with whatever kernel it comes with).

Any input would be appreciated - thanks!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sephi:
My phone is always loosing connection USB connection to my PC after 3 or 4 times...then I need to reinstall the drivers. My PC finds the phone but the "USB connection" pop up on the phone doesn't appear...it's like that for a few weeks now, before that it always workd fine...

PC is Windows 7. Phone is HTC desire. "Question" is enabled, standard is "just loading". I changed the USUB cable already, that was not the fault. PC is recognizing the HTC Desire as "Android Phone", that works ALWAYS. I just can't access the SD-Card from my phone because the phone pop up is missing. Setting the "mount as HDD" doesn't help either. The phone is loading though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybadog:
In Windows 7 have you tried locating the SD Card (usually F:/ Drive) in Windows Explorer? Sometimes, depending on settings, the pop up window may not appear (you may have accidentally selected a default action for it, for example).

EDITED: I'm guessing you have debugging selected if the PC is recognising the phone so, just a thought, have you tried putting the SD Card in a reader to see if the PC can recognise it at all?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sephi:
No, debugging is not activated. With "pop up" I was referring to the missing "pop up" (in the status bar) on the phone, not in the PC, sorry for that. I just found something out however: Plugged in the phone, same as ever, it's loading but no USB connection detected on the phone side. Restarted the phone WHILE it's still plugged in and directly after the restart the "ask me" notification pops up. Mounted the SD card and it works...

There is no disadvantage in activating usb debugging (At least, I do not know anyone), so I think one could call it a "fix". ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sephi:
It's not a fix because it's not working anymore...again! It shows USB DEBUGGING CONNECTED in the status bar but the "ask me" notification isn't coming so I can't mount it as HDD. Man, that's getting real annyoing...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woodstock_ahem:
you dont need the external SD card (if you have enough space on the internal SD card) i guess you might have enough space... just do the following

go to settings -> applications -> manage applications

then tap the on SD card on top

this will list the applications which can be moved to SD card

check the box on the right to the application you want to move to SD card.

it will take you to another screen, click Move to SD card

job done.... do it one by one if you need more applications moved

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woodstock_ahem:
I have run out of ideas !!

If you dont find any help from elsewhere and finding it hard to use the phone right now, i suggest doing a hard reset.

i dont know if you guys are running any customized ROM.

This is what i have and what i do.

I have the Stock official non-leaked ROM on UK generic phone which has been rooted.

I have around 45-50 the usual useful apps installed plus couple of game demos.

whenever i see the apps requiring 50mb + download required i tend to move it to SD Card and provide the SD card destination for any offline reference files (for example)

this i do just after the installation...(if it cant be done during installation)

this way i have managed to keep the device memory to around 400 MB usage

i keep the most frequently used apps on the phone memory/device memory... pushing others to SD card.

if you get stuck with no further help on your query

i suggest start over again after hard reset and follow the good practices whichever ROM you are using

Good Luck

You can't move apps to the internal SD. That is why you are getting failure messages. You need to add an external SD card to move apps to.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aterlecki:
Best is relative to your needs but I, and many others, prefer a card with a good balance of read/write speeds and decent IOPS. The Class 4 32GB Sandisk card is well respected and a solid performer for the price. It is faster in reads/writes than the class 4 spec suggests and has much better IOPS performance that the supposedly better class 10 cards.
