[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jack Shepard:
Hello!

I am a newbie to Android just migrated from a Symbian. I own a Samsung Ace, and also plan buying an Xperia Play.

When installing an application in symbian the phone asks if we want to save it in the memory card or the internal memory. How do we do this in Android phones and specifically (if it is different for every phone) in Ace and Play?

For example I installed talking tom cat 2 in Ace, the moment I opened it asked my permission to install another package, only once that was installed I was able to use the application. Then after sometime I uninstalled the app. using task manager. But the question is how do I get rid of the extra package and where has it been installed any ways.

There is no place where this information is available for a newbie.

Android at first seems a little confusing.

Also what is this ROM thing, tried to search it but didn't find anything?

Please reply soon.

Thanks.

Everything, go to settings>applications>manage applications. This should be uniform across android devices.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] domnic79:
Normally downloaded data goes to sdcard/Android/data. Check in dis directory.

He meant installed data.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] solidsample:
Like mentioned in the prev post it might either be in /sdcard/android/data or in the appropriate folder names under /sdcard

In your case, i think a folder named "talking tom" might be created under /sdcard

Your mishandled/broken files would be in /sdcard/LOST.DIR
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
installed data goes to your system/data, what the hell are you talking about?! You mean if I take out my sd all apps mysteriously disappear?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] solidsample:
If the app is installed in SD card then for sure it wont work when u remove the SD card.

When you uninstall an app the folders and files particular to that app in /system/data would get removed automatically and the files n folders on those in SD card needs to be removed manually.

Correct me if im wrong, Thanks.

PS: Im not in for any argument and happy to correct myself
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
ur actually correct. any leftover on sdcard wont be remove by default when uninstalling particular app that created them. eg many games will download its data when running it for the first time, and that data will be placed on sdcard. furthermore that data wouldnt be deleted when we uninstall that particular game that creating it, it need to be removed/deleted manually. i think same goes in op case, that "talking tom" app download its data when on first run and put it in sdcard.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Okay, I see the logic now. OP mentioned installing an additional package and that's probably not an app but just data, am I correct? Sorry for getting too heated up :P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jack Shepard:
You mean normally the applications we install like facebook, twitter, talking tom cat 2, angry birds etc. etc. go directly to the SD-Card ?????

I thought, in Androids, it goes to the internal memory.

Because a friend of mine said that the only reason people still opt for iphones instead of android is this; that you can't enjoy the use of an SD-Card.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jack Shepard:
Okay.

But my question is : Can I somehow install the application (like tom cat) directly in the Sd-Card in the first place. I am not worried about removing my card, because I have a 32 gb one.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jack Shepard:
Hello!

Thanks for the reply.

But I don't think this is the ROM they are talking about on this website. The one you mentioned is Hardware. What they are discussing seems to be some type of software.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
It's called read-only memory. It's like your xp in your computer, or windows 7, or Linux.

Edit: some applications cannot be installed into the sd card but with darktremor a2sd script it can make most apps migrate a portion of its space to the ext partition of the sd card. Do a search on google about a2sd. Also, installed data normally goes to /data/app which is internal storage. Certain apps may move their data to the .asec folder in the sd.

After flashing the KH3 beta firmware, the texts automatically go to SIM after roughly 50 messages yet there seems to be no way to change it? Ay possibility or will it require reflash?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] maltumbo:
have the same problem... tried some things but reflash is the only one that solves it for a while... please, can someone help us? it's a pain :(
[Bada Software and Hacking General] spacks:
This problem is solved by installing the correct csc file from pre-Configuration setting.

For example, if your csc is DBT, you need to set pre-Configuration to DBT after flashing.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] zm15011992:
forgive my ignorance, how would we do that?

edit: just flipped my csc onto DBT as that "supposedly" covers UK aswell as Germany etc, reset the languages back to English etc and see how that ends up
[Bada Software and Hacking General] spacks:
Correct setting in Pre-Configuration menu ensures that you benefit from all the local services offered by your network operator... network settings, language, keyboard,etc.

To set your csc, go to Pre-Configuration menu as follows:

On keypad enter this code: *#5239870*# => (Admin setting) 2 Pre-configuration => (Operator code; tap the blank space to pop up the keypad) *#27236*# => Done => Confirm => (CSC Pre-configuration; here select your csc) Install.

If you have installed with the OXA csc (S8500OXA), below is a list of countries and their corresponding csc files:

1. KOR = Default

2. SKT = Korea

3. XEF = France

4. XEO = Poland

5. XEU = UK and IRE

6. DBT = Germany

7. ITV = Italy

So if you are from the UK, your correct csc file is the XEU.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] zm15011992:
At least someone knows what they are doing :) cheers for the info
[Bada Software and Hacking General] pao9195:
this issue can be solved just by hard reset after flashing,,,,thats it no need pre configuration
[Bada Software and Hacking General] zm15011992:
pre config saves a hard reset and achieves same ends, I guess just use whichever way your comfy with

I just bought a keyboard dock which is working great, but was wondering if it might be possible to change it so the "Mail"button opens up the gmail app rather than the default mail app.

Anyone know if this could be done and how?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] remcosuer:
Hi I just bought the same and love it, however I had exactly the same question. Do you by any change already had an answer elsewhere?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] biggiestuff:
thats funny because i bought the logitech keyboard case and i want to do the opposite. My mail button opens up the email app when i want it to open up the gmail app. Trade? Hahahaha
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] mark.m.moran:
Same here, when I hit mail it opens up the default e-mail app and not Gmail :-( Same with the browser button, I want it to open Dolphin HD.

What ROM are you guys using?

Cheers,

M
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Tivo7:
That's the same thing he wants, not the opposite.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] mark.m.moran:
I have the latest Overcome ROM on mine, is it possible for the keyboard to be mapped differently?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] kaosnews:
Is there a solution? I want to open Kaiten if I press the mail button - but I can't change it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] archat68:
My HD2 has problem with the power button. So, I can't get into recovery by pressing and holding down the power button sometimes.

So, I tried, "adb reboot recovery" command to get into recovery but the phone simply reboots.

I have also tried the "reboot into recovery" option in ROM manager and "Quickboot" - same result.

When the power button works it goes recovery without any problem by pressing and holding down the power button.

What may be the problem here?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
MAGLDR or cLK?

cLK supports fastboot mode and adb reboot recovery and such commands.

Unfortunately, MAGLDR currently doesn't.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] archat68:
MAGLDR........

ohh thats's sad
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ftgg99:
I cracked open my new tab with an ordenary screw driver and dull fillet knife. Use pictures from here:

http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/...=10&tag=siu-container;thumbnail-view-selector

Fixed flex in 10 mins. Got a cool look inside the tab as well, always a pleasure when a device puts back together well...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:
Thanks for the link to the teardown, what was wrong with the flex?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ftgg99:
Little air in exactly the place where the xooms power button would be - top left corner.

Felt like a pop as i depressed it. Pretty annoying to see the sammy plastic never quite up to scratch. I wish their mobile devices were as well built as their microchips and displays... the of the reasons i never got a galaxy phone was the plastic horror on the backs of them all.

We need a rubberised material like the original droid had, or like the plastic on the incredibles!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:
Right I'm with you now, I was thinking 'flex' as in cable. :p

Glad you got it sorted.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] anpulli:
Whatta.. mine doesn't have any screws next to the port.. How would you open a GT-P7500 3G + wifi?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bishmaster5000:
I enjoyed the pics of the teardown. I knew the battery was huge but it was funny to actually see its size.

I actualy like samsungs plastic and design the past couple years. I love my Galaxy S (Captivate) and my Tab. I dont have any creaks or flex on either device. Only thing i dont like is samsungs software, thus the reason i love xda :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TECK:
Amen to that! Took me exactly 1.3min to get rid of TouchWiz and install a vanilla 3.1 ROM. If only PhantomHacker would hurry to finish his 3.2 vanilla ROM, then I could say "you complete me." :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tbcpn:
No screw holes/covers anywhere on my LTE Tab...not that I'm gonna open it up. Just wondering if the LTE version is a different case design. Or I'm blind.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ftgg99:
There are two on either side of the main connector...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tbcpn:
Not on my LTE Tab. Only "irregularity" on the bottom trim is a small hole about an inch to the right of the main connector that I assume is the mic. Nothing on the sides (when looking at landscape view) except the speakers, and top trim only has the sim access and the headphone jack.

Not that any of this matters, unless someone with a LTE Tab wants to open it up per the OP.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
:) Its ironic you say "you complete me" when your tablet is actually incomplete with the vanilla ROM. For example you lose hardware accelerated GUI, lose hardware display options, lose advanced multitasking, and many more important options that are only available with TouchWiz since its written specifically for the Tab 10 hardware.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ftgg99:
I guess they are clipped together then... should be even easier to open - you just need a fillet knife or something like that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Croak:
How'd you pop the screw caps off?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ftgg99:
just use a needle... don't be shy, they stick back in very snugly
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fiji93:
OK, I'm ready to give up my Backflip, and move up to a Infuse. I saw that Best Buy has them for around $100, any better deals out there? I am elgible for upgrade, with ATT, and saw that Amazon has it for $150, and Walmart for $130.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bronk93:
Damn 100$ isn't bad at all,doubt you will find better.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Eddie Bombay:
Why are u giving up on the Backflip? It's really a great phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] -Kevlar-:
Hahaha
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bac1995:
I just upgraded to the Samsung Infuse 4G through AT&T website and got a refurbished one for $19.99.

Just today 8/27/2011 so dont know how long its been at this price. I had been checking in on it for some time but the owest they had dropped the refurbished one

to was $149.99 so I was surprised it was $19.99 so I had to get it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Spleisher:
I picked mine up for $97 at Sam's Club.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JourneyofGreatness:
Wal-Mart Special!

Just seen today with a qualifying 2 year contract they are going to for $98.99..I paid $160.00 for mine at our local Costco.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] entropism:
If you're a costco member, it might be worth the extra money to buy it there. They give you 90 days to decide if you like the phone, with unlimited exchanges and model swaps.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shadow65781:
I believe, if you wait a week, you can get the sgs2. Fyi
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
$19 at Costco ... special sale. There was a big sign last Thursday on the mobile booth. Think it lasts a few weeks. This was in Union NJ but I assume it is national (I think it is in their latest coupon book).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
More like "at least" 3 weeks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
bleh...at this point I say wait for the Holiday
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fiji93:
Thats for the info! I'm not a costco member, but will look into that this morning. My thought on the sg2 is that it will be $200 when it is released (next week, next month, whenever), and will not come into the $50 range anytime soon.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fiji93:
It was great for a bit, but, no longer the new shinny toy. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
Thanksgiving or Christmas? Doesn't HTC lock their bootloaders making rooting difficult to impossible?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
I believe you can tell them you want to "check it out" and they will give you a 1 day shopping pass but you pay 10% more. It's also possible you can buy at the mobile kiosk without being a member (just like the pharmacy). Besides, you must have at least 1 friend who is a member.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fiji93:
Just looked online, Costco on line is $119. I did notice that several of the phone prices are cheaper instore, vs online. Walmart online was $129, but $98 in the store. Might be time for a road trip, nearest Costco is 50 miles away.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fiji93:
or, as my wife is advising me, I could just wait........
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fiji93:
ok, they still have these, so, what is wrong with the phones? Still have 1 yr waranttee?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] teiglin:
I doubt you'd be able to buy it without a membership. I don't know about the one-day pass, but when I purchased mine at costco, the mobile kiosk sent me to the regular checkout with a voucher to pay (where they checked my costco card as usual), and they had me wait there while someone ran back to pick up my phone/accessories.

One additional point is that you do get a free car charger and some other useless crap along with your purchase, so if the prices are similar, you save the $5-10 if you actually want one.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
Instore only. Maybe you should call them first. Save the gas.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
30 or 60 days I believe on refurbs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] akira02rex:
The sgs2 will be released Monday or Tuesday. Go get one and don't wwaste your money on the infuse. The sgs2 has 100x developer support as well and is twice as powerful.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
There is absolutely no confirmation anywhere that the sgs2 will release monday or tuesday. samsung is doing a big announcement monday or tuesday....so far the only confirmation of a release is 9/9 on sprint.

At this point I would rather wait for LTE devices.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
Just came back from Costco. Back to regular price. It was 1 week only. Today (this week) the Inspire is free.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sweetboy02125:
Just re-ordered a $19 Refurbished one from ATT website....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fiji93:
re-order? Did they mess up the orginal order?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sweetboy02125:
I ordered a brand new infuse for $199, but the MicroSD card slot has a problem. Returned and reorder a refurbished one for $19. I will return it again if the Galaxy SII come within these 30 days. Good thing order online that you don't pay $35 restocking fee when return at any ATT store, of course have to wait for couple days shipping. ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fiji93:
So, you returned to the brick and morter ATT store, or mailed it back?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] HiddenSanctum:
"At this stage we didn't get any details about the AT&T-bound Galaxy S II pricing or availability."

Agreed, given the current track record. They would have to release the LG Thrill before they SGS2 (since that's already been delayed a couple times). And Its quite unlikely they will release two flagship phones together. So unless they switch the release order or AT&T is dropping the LG Thrill all together. I don't see a release until October or perhaps even November.

Just my speculation
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
It has been moved up to the 18th/19th

And the thrill comes out this Sunday

The 4th
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gotsand?:
watch target.....about once a month they have it for 50 bucks! :eek: wish I knew that when I got mine!

I found it as cheap as I could online, then went to one of those mom and pop shop resellers and they price matched it. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
100 is just a buyers trap. They charge you 50 dollars in tax. I bought mine at target BTW.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
Lol...they don't control the tax
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MisterEdF:
That depends on what state you live in. Some states charge you sales tax based on the FULL retail price (I know CA does). Here in NJ tax is based on the actual price you pay for it.

You have to blame your state politicians for that, not Target.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fiji93:
So, are we saying that the thrill is the new flagship phone replacing the infuse?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpione:
Hey all...

I realize there have been several threads about this general topic, but I couldn't find my issues specifically. First, thanks to all the developers for all their work. I've had a blast with my ManNooter'd Nook.

Issues:

1. Using WinImager to an 8 gig Sandisk card. As expected, the "generic.img" supplied in the thread created only one visible partition (for Windows) of about 117 megs. However, I'm not able to resize the partition using any of three different partition managers I tried. I'm doing this before I install CM7. As far as the programs are concerned, I have a 117 card, period. I've tried deleting all partitions and reformatting to the full 7.x gigs, then reimaging, but still no dice.

2. If I do go ahead and install CM7 with the default partition, it works fine and I can boot into the OS. It shows that I've got almost 6 gigs free, so apparently it created the FAT partition. However, I can neither mount the SD card in Windows to copy over the Gapps, nor can I access the card via USB through the Nook. If I put the card in directly to the PC, I get "need to format". If I run it through the Nook's USB, I get two drives popping up in Windows that both say "Insert Disk". So short of downloading from the Internet directly to the Nook, I can't access the card at all.

3. Say I DID want to settle for just downloading. How can I access the "boot" partition to drop Gapps there? I don't see it in File Expert.

Any suggestions for any of these? Many thanks.

Adam
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
Are you trying to resize the partition BEFORE you put the imaged card in the nook?

If I undrstand what you are trying to do... create a larger boot partition... you MUST resize that before doing anything else.... put the image on the card... resize the only partition on it... then put it in the nook for it to setup the remaining partitions and install CM7...

As for the rest... buy a cheap usb card reader... several internal card readers have issues accessing these cards for some reason.

If you wanted to settle (3) above... you would do the following in terminal emulator on nook or adb shell on computer...

mkdir /sdcard/boot (only have to do this one time)
mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/boot (has to be done every time... lost on reboot)

That will allow you to access the boot partition via /sdcard/boot directory.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpione:
Yes, I'm trying to do this in the order you've mentioned. Blank Card -> Image -> Resize attempt. Prior to Nook. However, I am using the internal card reader. If I can find the cheapo one I've got lying around, I'll try that and see if it helps. On both prob #1 and #2.

Thanks for the command line stuff. I shouldn't need to access that partition often, so losing it on reboot is no big deal.

Many thanks!

Adam
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
Don't use the internal card reader in the Nook. Use a USB reader on your PC, or any reader you might have built in on your PC.

EaseUs Partition Manager is free and can do what you want. That is how I resized mine when I was playing around with Honeycomb.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inportb:
I actually just re-created my microSD layout with a bigger boot partition. Just make the first partition a FAT16/FAT32 volume and drop the files from VG's boot partition there. While you're at it, you might as well create the other partitions if you prefer to customize. A major gotcha for me was that the first partition had to start at sector 63, not 2048 as fdisk preferred.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpione:
In the "you've got to be kidding me" category, retrying the image/resize partition operation worked perfectly using my cheapo $2 card reader that came with a card I bought years ago. Neither the reader in my work PC nor the reader in my nearly new laptop would do this properly, and I used the exact same steps each time. Thanks for the suggestion, Dizzy.

My only problem now is getting Youtube on there. Twice during previous CM7 attempts, I tried flashing Gapps, selected a few of the apps to install including YT, and ended up with a bunch of "can't be found" errors. WiFi was up and running already. It installed Gmail and Talk about nothing else. This most recent try (after the successful resize and CM7 reinstall,) I selected nothing except the required Google Search. It installed without error, but now I can't get YouTube on there via the market.

Edit: I tried reflashing Gapps over itself. VG's recovery picks it up and looks to install it, but I don't get YT and it doesn't run the original setup screens again.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again for the input, all.

Adam
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
I assume you got your NC straighten out, so no more help, I guess.

As for the Youtube, you have 2 choices

a. Uninstall Market Updater OR reverse back to the older version of Market.

b. Sideloading the Youtube app.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpione:
Yep. Good to go on CM7.

I went ahead and sideloaded the version of YouTube I had from my ManNooter'd ROM. The newest version on the Market always gave me problems and didn't seem to want to play any videos. I'm also good to go here.

Thanks again for the help, all. Still can't believe the key was to use the crappiest card reader I could find. :)

[Xoom General] tigerknight:
I'm going to a work conference and wanted to tether my wifi xoom to my epic. So far I have my epic unlocked (without wiping it) and a wifi app installed. I have run into a snag though: the hotspot app is ad-hoc mode and xoom can't talk to it.

This leaves me two choices:

1 - find a hotspot app that runs infrastructure instead of ad-hoc (if possible)

2 - root my xoom and enable ad-hoc support

I'd be fine with option 2, except that the method I found (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1170760 - from stickied post up top) explicitly states it will wipe the tablet and I would really prefer not to lose my data. I am on a completely stock 3.2 xoom and am not after custom roms or any other features like that - only root.
