ok so i know how to change the the install location through sdk tools like internal or sd card. but is it possible to say install all games into a folder called games or apps on the sdcard, cause when i open my sd card its a mess and i would like it to be more organized.

i have the nexus s 4g with no removable sd card but it has external storage

Hey how did you transfer your games to SD?

I have been looking for a way to send Asphalt 6 to SD, its a total 29 MB on the internal memory.

What is this SDK tool?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
It can depend on what rom you are running. Some roms allow moving all apps to the sd card.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack Shepard:
Please tell me what is this Rom thing? Newbie.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlt96:
The ROM is something like an operating system, it is just a modified version of android for root...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Actually, the rom

IS

the operating system based on android in this case. Also, a rom does not have to be rooted.

Is there anyone can help me solve my problem? My device is htc desire.I flashed HBOOT yesterday and I failed.The problem is that nomatter how I make my phone , it always display 4 triangles at the corner of the screen and three big letter(HTC) in the middle of the screen. And I can't enter the pattern of HBOOT and RECOVERY.When I tried to flash RUU, I failed, too. It showed that ERROR 152 had happened. I have a golden card ,and also failed when I tried to use it to flash the RUU and HBOOT. Waiting for your help. Thank you~

[HTC Inspire 4G] dayresnky1:
Good day,

Hoping someone can assist. I just re-installed Gingerbeast and now I cannot get my BT devices to connect.

I wiped cache, including dalvik. I did backup my BT settings via Titanium, which may be the issue.

It recognizes the devices and says it is paired but not connected.

Also, the car now prompts me to enter a password, which it never did before. I enter the code and it still will not connect, just keeps asking me for a new code.

Any assistance, welcome as always!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
You are most likely correct. I think Titanium caused your issues. It may have backed some other system data up for bluetooth that is incompatible with your new ROM. Have you tried to remove all connections and start fresh?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Word to the wise, never back up or restore system data as it can cause huge issues. I would reflash with a full wipe and restore only apps and app data and see what happens
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GaryParr:
Anyone have an opinion on how much interference rooting this phone will cause for OTA?

This is my first Samsung phone after coming from a rooted MyTouch 3G slide, so I'm not too familiar with the effect rooting will have on OTA for this bad boy as opposed to HTC devices. As such, I'm torn between rooting now or waiting until after the OTA for WiFi calling (supposedly coming in November).

I'm aware that I can freeze apps with Titanium Backup as opposed to just deleting them, but never done that so not sure how easy it will be to make the OTA think the phone is stock and apply the update. Also aware that I can probably apply the APK for the WiFi calling manually (once released to the wild) but again, probably not as easy as just letting the OTA handle it.

Thanks for any thoughts.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hexagon_sun:
From what I've been hearing around the forums, it sounds like a group is working on getting a WiFi-Calling "mod" working for rooted SGS IIs. So if you do root, you'd probably be able to do an aftermarket upgrade to obtain WiFi Calling, would be my guess.

Barring that, the Stock Kernel and Source are around, so I recommend grabbing them before you root, that way if you feel you need to un-root to get the OTA update, it should be relatively hassle-free. You can probably just go back to stock, update, then re-root.

As always, probably would want to do Nandroid Backup and back up all of your data/apps as necessary.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AmbroseAI:
I had the same concerns myself, but agree that now that we have the ability to revert to stock if necessary, that fear is unfounded. I'm planning to root this weekend.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
If you look into system processes developers usually put a process called Force kill ota update. If your just rooting for now the ota will still come even with a rooted phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GaryParr:
Hey Killbynature, can you possibly explain that? Perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but a "Force kill OTA" process sounds like it would... force kill an OTA update, which seems contrary to your next statement that the OTA will still come if you are rooting. :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] voidthedroid:
I am curious about this as well could you clarify a little on what you mean?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Killbynature:
The developers only add that process in roms. If you just want root and a different kernel you still be able to get the update. Basically if you don't flash roms you'll be able to get the update still.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GaryParr:
Makes sense now, thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
There seems to be a debate on this topic as to whether you should do a FULL drain on your battery and I wanted to know what people's thoughts were on this in this forum.

I've used my phone twice now to the point where it has auto powered down on it's own. I will then hit the 'Power' button to ensure that battery is truly at 0% (the capacitative buttons blink for a second to confirm that I've hit the power button but there is no more juice left to turn the phone on).

I will plug into the wall charger and allow it to charge for 4 hours (usually around 4 hours, I'll check back to see and hit the power button and the onscreen battery display will show 100% charged).

I will unplug my phone, power on and keep using until the phone fully drains and powers off on it's own again before repeating this cycle.

However, others have stated that this is NOT necessary for Lithium Ion battery and can actually damage the circuitry of the battery? I've always been under the impression that you need to do a complete & full battery drain for lithium ion batteries at least 3 -5 full cycles/times before the battery has been conditioned/optimized for capacity.

Maybe I'm wrong...after all I'm coming from a G1 and this practice helped my atrocious battery life on that dinosaur!

If this is wrong, when should I be plugging my phone back in to charge? When it gives me the first warning to charge in (battery level turns orange - I assume this about 20% battery left) or on the "critical" battery warning when the battery icon in the notification panel turns red (assuming this is about 10% battery left)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
from what I've read in the past, letting your phone drain completely down until it shuts itself off is not good for the battery. I could be wrong but thats what I've read
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
Yeah, I've heard both sides and I've conditioned my battery for the G1 because it seemed to drain faster if I plugged it into charge when there was 30% or so still left.

Well, I've done two complete cycles so I guess I'll just try recharging when it hits the red mark next time.

When you plug in to charge? Orange, red or whenever to top off?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
i plug my phone in when i go to bed. I dont care what the battery is at. I also charge it while i'm at work so when I leave, its around 90-100%. My battery rarely reaches red.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
LOL - that would prematurely killed my battery capacity on the G1! :D I went thru two batteries before I started draining all the way down. Made a difference between 4-6 hours and 6-10 hours.

Seems like this phone doesn't need to do that tho. :cool:

But what're you getting on average for battery life and display on time then?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kennonk:
I do the exact same thing. First with my Captivate and now with the SGS2 and the battery life on my captivate held pretty much exactly the same charge for the entire 15 months I used it. The battery on this SGS2 seems to last about 150-175% of the Captivate battery under the same conditions. I just came back from a week on the road where I spent 9-12 hours a day away from a charger and was using my phone constantly all day long and would get back to the hotel room with 30-40% battery left. Considering I was listening to music, playing plants vs zombies and sending and reading push email constantly throughout the day I am very satisfied with the battery life on this phone. I've never done any kind of conditioning or special battery maintenance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
i stopped looking at my battery stats a long time ago. I'll peak in there once in a while but I dont really care what the stats show because I'm always around a charger. As long as I get through 12 hours or so without charging, i'm happy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Some devices need a full drain cycle to properly calibrate the fuel gauge - ours does NOT.

Lithium ion batteries don't like deep discharging - in fact discharging them too much will permanently damage them (fortunately, all batteries sold to end users have built-in protection chips to prevent overdischarge - but do you REALLY want to rely on that chip?)

Similarly, they don't like charge being forced into them - so don't "bump charge". (Bump charging is removing and immediately reinserting the charger when the phone says charging is complete.)

For long-term storage, store them at around 50% capacity if not being used. LiIons that are stored at 100% charge lose capacity MUCH faster than ones stored at 50%.

A Li-Ion that has been sitting for a long time (months...) will develop a passivation layer that can be detrimental to performance - a few charge/discharge cycles will fix this. You don't need to do a full discharge/recharge - probably even from 90 to 70 and back up a few times should be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
what about short charging during the course of the day? For instance, while I'm at work, I like to plug it in for a bit and then use it off the charger. Then before I leave, I charge it again for a bit. Do you think thats okay to charge the phone for short ~1 hour bursts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] FESCSteve:
No, the battery itself doesn't do well with deep discharges, but every device with one has circuitry to manage this and keep it from happening. The phone will shut off before the battery reaches a critically low discharge state. Just as it will cease charging before it blows up. Just because the phone shuts off does not mean that the battery is too low.

Assuming the phone has the proper cutoffs, it's not really any different to do two discharges to 50% or one to 100%. There have been studies that say leaving it on a charger is bad, doing two 50% cycles is worse than one 100%, etc. I've always just trusted that the phone manufacturers design the battery monitor and control circuits correctly and not worry much about it. And I've never had to replace a battery yet and always get acceptable life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MikeyMike01:
It's lithium ion, not nickel cadmium.

Full drains are bad for lithium ion.

That's the best way to charge it.

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thejanitor86:
lithium ion batteries dont like being under 30%. and they also dont do well if they are kept at 80 percent or above all the time. for longest battery life don't just let it sit on the charger all day after it fully charges.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I agree with Mikey here.

Also, batteries take charging current better (less wear) at lower states of charge. That's why I put a variable-current charging algorithm into my Infuse kernels (charginghacks branch on github)

800 mA at low voltages (200 above stock), dropping to 550 near the end (50 below stock).

Unfortunately, charginghacks is likely not going to be possible with our hardware. One of the differences between the I9100 and I777 is a different battery charger circuit - ours is far less flexible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MikeyMike01:
This phone actually charges with the screen on though, so it's not like the Infuse where the battery would drain with the screen on and the phone charging.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Infuse would charge with the screen on - but not if the screen was on AND the CPU was cranking.

(worst-case was navigation at full brightness - and I've seen reports that the I9100 also has the same problem.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MikeyMike01:
When web browsing, playing a game, or other general use late at night I'd plug the Infuse into the charger. It would still drain. Doing the same on the SGS II and it at the very least maintains it's battery level, so it's a drastic improvement over the Infuse.

Hello all,

Currently I have a LG Phoenix which is ok for everyday use but I somewhat regret getting this phone now. Luckily... I pay for the family plan and I can give this phone to my sister and use her upgrade to get a new phone.

Now here's the delimma. I don't want to be in this situation where I hate my phone again... So I wanted to see what your recommendations were.

I use my phone for basic things such as email, text, calls, etc etc. I also use it to play some games, surf the web, listen to music, etc etc. My biggest gripe with the LG Phoenix is the internal 160 MB of space. Even by moving apps to the SD card, the memory fills up way too fast. Also, there seems to be very very little interest in this phone in terms of custom roms and such (which in my knowlege means if AT&T doesn't roll out that gingerbread update, I'm stuck with Froyo).

So... to the question.

Which AT&T phone would you recommend and why?

Thanks everyone,
[General Topics] BeenAndroidized:
I am currently looking myself in which phone to get. I narrow my choices down to Motorola Atrix or Samsung Galaxy S II. :D

Atrix has Froyo, GSII has Gingerbread. The features is what I like on both.
[General Topics] apanihi:
Samsung Galaxy S II
[General Topics] wlfpck:
Hm..... I guess I should have specified that I am not looking to get the Galaxy s2 II due to it costing 200 on contract. (I'm paying for the family plan and I'm in college so... tuition > me)

I do like the atrix but I haven't seen any support or development out for the atrix 2. Which is why I'm a bit heasitant. Does Motroloa plan on killing off the atrix with the atrix 2? Things of that nature.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fayoumi:
Hello once,

my DHD has been making some problems since 2 months.

Initially, it began to hang out constantly. (at gaming, navigating, ..)

Thought, maybe it's the new Rom (leedroid 3.3.3).

Tried new, different, and older Roms but brought only limited relief.

It depends on considerably less.

Now a month ago, the main problem. Suddenly, in 3G mode, no receiving.

In the GSM reception was stable.

Tried everything. Several error messages reported by the provider, swapped sim card, another Rom, another radio and other radio cells (about 400 km radius).

Nothing helped, so it should now be sent for repair.

Thought, maybe only a software error and the provider complain because the root, so original ROM on it.

Have only the Ace_O2_DE_1.32.207.1 ... signed flashed by PC over it,

without the root, the boot loader to the S-OFF or OFF-ENG or whatever was on it previously removed.

Tried ... no longer receive data/internet, but receiving it in the 3G and GSM mobile phone and SMS mode. :confused:

And suddenly one day later for a few hours normal 3G reception 2Mb/s.

But only for a few houres. :mad:

Device hangs up still occasionally in games, etc.

Update via the "System Software Update" made ​​on 1.38.207.1 20MB (20MB Large)

He seems to have hang up again, during the update.

Since no WiFi, UMTS.

In Power, Vol-menu is still "-S SHIP OFF" and the point "Recovery" is displayed.

under SimLock "MCCMNC file fail" and "CID file fail"

Hope someone can help me further, I do not fact.

I think I have completely reset the phone to see if it really is not a software error, and then send it for repair.

Apologies for the bad (google translator) English.

Greeting

How can i set the CID to O2-Germany stock an remove the Recovery option in boot menu?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
To unroot and get your phone completely back to stock:

1: Install 1.32.405.6 RUU

2: Use Visionary+ R14 to temproot, then permroot

3: Reboot

4: Use Jkoljo's Easy Radio Tool to set S-On and set the CID to the default HTC__001 (Unless your phone came carrier branded in which case the CID will be different)

5: Reboot

6: Reflash the RUU

7: Update to the latest software normally through software updates

Issue [SOLVED] > market > search results found doesn't equal search results shown.

Hello fellow's

Have you guys noticed that since the new android market came upon us, that there is troublesome to not say impossible to find some applications using the search function.

For instance, if I search "mario"; I will have 3 apps showing. All though the top bar says it found over 2000 results. Nevertheless I would not be able to download or even have these results displayed for me.

It's probably worth mentioning that I'm not the only one that having this issue. I've noticed that ALL phones have the same issue as I do. Some of these different phones have custom kernels and custom roms, but not all. So there's no need for searching error in roms, phones, etc.

I have successfully uninstalled NEW Android Market from my phone and restored the OLD android market.

It works just fine as it displays all search results that are found.

Yet the problem remains since google has arranged a silence update of market. Within 30 minutes I have the new market once again installed.

* Is there any solution?

* If not, is it possible to turn off silent updates?
