[Motorola Droid RAZR] Superthrust:
Does anyone know if there is a setting that will change which directories, or show certain folders, images, or anything?

seriously. I wanna text a pic to someone and i have to sift through EVERY damn image ive ever viewed on the device, whether it be in app or browser.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] opensourcefan:
Sounds like Gallery might be reading your cache folder or something. You can try and locate it and make sure it has the ".nomedia" file in there or add it yourself. That will stop Gallery from reading the images within. Easy to do, just make a folder in any directory where you don't want the images to be shown and rename it to .nomedia
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Superthrust:
so, should i just make a random file named .nomedia? or a FOLDER named .nomedia? or rename the folders in question .nomedia?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
either use notepad ++ to make a blank file with the name .nomedia

or if you want to exclude a folder put a "." with out the quotes at the front of the folder name. it will not be scanned by gallery. so you can hid your porn in a folder and not worry about it :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Superthrust:
...and that is what i am trying to hide lol...cause my boss at work was looking in my phone and she saw alot of pics....of me...and yeah...now she looks at me weird.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
trololol, you can always say " hey im a guy, and im straight or its going to be gay porn in there instead "
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Smacdallas:
Hahahahahaha yeah you need to fix that
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Superthrust:
No it was pix of my junk. She made a comment about "whose is that!? It's really n... Wait...! " then she noticed the skin tone and clothes... Now she looks at me weird.

And i dunno what kinda weird look it is...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
probably she was giving you a ME GUSTA face
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Deron Baker:
Ummmm ... if you're gonna store pics of your junk on your phone (which is a bad idea in the first place) and then let your boss play around with your phone (another really bad idea) then -- for the love of God -- go to the Android Market, download App Protector Pro (an app that every single Android phone user should have), and lock your gallery.

I use that app to lock my email and text messages . I don't lock my gallery, but then again I don't store incriminating photos on my own phone.

And please, please, please ... don't show your phone to your Mom.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Superthrust:
hah yeah. someone earlier said she had a me gusta face...that kinda described it lol. I dunno man. Would be nice. lol. thanks all. Ill try doing this nomedia thing then report back if it works/dont work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
remember to reboot the phone. and download notepad ++ to make the file. using regular note pad may not work

or

Old thread but here is a no Computer needed option:

Download ES File explorer (its free)

Install and open it

Navigate to the folder you want to exclude (remember it propagates down e.g. if you place it in the root of SD then the whole of SD is excluded including all the sub-folders)

Press Menu and select "new"

Select "File"

Call it .nomedia

Rescan your memory Cards

Sorted no PC required

So someone named "superthrust" is worried about pics on the phone? ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
atleast the name was not analthrust...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Eddy T:
I use QuickPic, and it gives you the ability (if you long press on a folder) to exclude it from the gallery view.

My gallery was showing up all sorts of junk from my kindle library and looked a mess.

Now all I see are the folders I want.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] greeky510:
Ive been using Vaulty Free. It hides pics and videos you select in its own folder. It also encodes the images and videos so you arent able to open then using any other gallery or video playing app. What i like most is that fact that even if you put the sd card in your computer the images are still encoded and you arent able to view them. The only downside to it is that you have to wait for it to encode the image you want to hide (no more than 3 seconds).

OP you shouldnt use anything to hide your pics, if anything you should give your phone to your boss with more pics in it, then enjoy your promotion. LOL.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Superthrust:
the real funny part about what you just said, is that I just got promoted and she has been asking for my phone more... Epic win.

I just got sales manager the other day.

There's an app in the market called Pandora...I know you're thinking I'm talking about the radio app. There's also an Pandora App that lets you hide photos on your phone. The only place to see them is in the Pandora app and you can password protect the app. Actually here is the app.

then you are doing it wrong. i'll upload my. nomedia file later.... in the toilet taking a dump right now

[Focus General] Anikachiktou:
Hello,

I have a Samsung Focus with Mango 7.5 on it. I want to upgrade my micro SD card from 4 to 8 gig.

Just want to know what I have to do? I have a lot of apps and music on my phone.

Thanks
[Focus General] paschott:
Well, prepare to reinstall your apps and games. You can't backup/restore with different size memory or with different devices. If there's any data that you absolutely have to keep because it isn't synced somewhere else, check with the developer about your options. You'll likely lose those, settings, saved games, etc. I've messed with this before and had to reinstall every time. :(

Also, make sure you're using a quality microsd card that's designed for random access. Sandisk class 2/4 get good reviews in general for this sort of purpose. Kingston - had horrible trouble with their cards, no matter what class. If you haven't seen a good amount of success with the card by other posters, be prepared to repeat this process later. You won't see any problems until after passing the 8GB mark, but if you start seeing random resets it's likely due to the card.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
If you're dev unlocked now, you can access the ISO storage to back-up your current settings (there is an app here on XDA - WP7AppBackup - Backup Restore third party app data). However, you will need to re-install all your apps/games first. As for the music/photo/vids you should have all that synced already so when you're done upgrading you can easily get that back.

As for the card list, I updated the Focus wiki to contain the latest info about working cards, as per my post in the proper thread here.
[Focus General] Anikachiktou:
Yes my I have an unlocked phone.

I'll check for your apps and compatibility. THanks guys for your input!

:)
[Focus General] Anikachiktou:
btw, can I use WP7 Update Cab Sender backup program to do the same thing?
[Focus General] Anikachiktou:
Can't understand nobody can do a full backup. You have 5 gigs of stock on it, you got 5 gigs backup. That's it, that's all
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
The backups you currently have are all tied to the SD card you are currently using. That card has become a very extension of the phone's memory and the OS accounts for both internal+card as one storage. It is very similar to disk spanning, in a way.

Long story short, you can use the backup only if you have the same card installed on your Focus. Which means you won't be able to restore from backups using the new card. There is enough material about all this in the Focus wiki, AT&T website/phone docs as well as on this forum (Q&A).

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beethoven9th:
Just wondering, who names these phones anyway? Is it Samsung? The carrier? A combination of both?

I know that names are of little importance (the device is what counts), but am I the only one who thinks that "Galaxy Journal" is kinda silly? Sounds like a publication--Wall Street Journal, New England Journal of Medicine, etc--rather than a phone.

And I always thought Galaxy Nexus sounded weird too. Nexus Prime was so much better...

Anyway, thanks & take care, guys.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vancamp:
Perhaps it should be called "Galaxy Guide" and come with the words "Don't Panic" on the screen

It's not great but it's not bad. Journal is a variant of notebook, i.e. 'keep a journal of this trip'. It fits.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] galaxy mini:
hi everyone, first off all i know there are two threads out with the same theme

but both ways they explained dont work for me ;-( so i tryed around and found a realy easy way to get the AdobeFlashPlayer11.0 aka 10.3.185 on your mini!!

ok lets start-

all you have to do is download the AdobeFlashPlayer.apk from the link i gave you if its done put the apk on your sd card and install it with root explorer or any other file manager!! if its done you dont have to move any files or even change any permissions just install and use it ;-)) iam now on emanoNv4 and it works great on it but i think it will work with other roms too!!

notice: runs on cm7.2rc5 also

notice: !!dont work with opera mini browser!!

update: !!works on any custom rom i tried till now and also on any device with armv6!!

[EVO 4G General] atlmtnbiker:
rooted, stock rom.

market has been updating titanium back-up, google maps, google search and dropbox for 3 days. the status bar under each app continually shows as active, and the msg under each is 'starting download...'

i've restarted and shut down, but they keep going. i have updated at least one other program successfully during this time - adobe air, maybe.

any ideas?

tia...
[EVO 4G General] 14u2c:
Did u go into the market setting and uncheck auto update
[EVO 4G General] atlmtnbiker:
no, and i don't see an option to do that. i only see 'content filtering' and 'notifications' as primary headings in market>menu>settings.

but...this just started a few days ago best i can tell, and it's only for those four specific apps. they are continually trying to update.

would your idea settle this; and, if so, where do i go to do it?
[EVO 4G General] 14u2c:
The second 1 down try that and see
[EVO 4G General] atlmtnbiker:
i don't get that screen in settings from within market. i'd post the pic but i don't have the required 8 posts yet haha...
[EVO 4G General] atlmtnbiker:
i did go into manage applications and force stop the market. i could not access any fields within the market updater. does that provide any useful info?
[EVO 4G General] atlmtnbiker:
ok, force stopped ea of those apps. uninstalled each app or the updates. i think the issue had something to do with lookout security, which i thought was already off the phone. tried to uninstall it several times from within the market or manage applications. even tried to uninstall it from titanium, but the batch uninstall locked up. rebooted and it was gone. updated each app manually and all is right with the world again. for now...

:D
[EVO 4G General] 14u2c:
Nice : )
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Go into applications and clear data for the market, then reboot.
[EVO 4G General] atlmtnbiker:

i see: market, market feedback agent and market updater.

clear data, though listed as a field, is not accessible. only clear cache is, and within the three i just listed only in the market.

or do you mean to do it through wipe data in TB? if so, in which of the three named market sys apps?
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Nope, misprint on my part. Clear Cache is what you want.

[Motorola Droid 3] sbwoodside:
I turned my XT860 off while it was charging today because I thought it would charger faster. Instead, it fully discharged. I had to disconnect it and reconnect in order for it to start charging again.

Here's what I observed:

1. Battery was dead. Plugged it in to charge (into my laptop)

2. After some time, the device turned on.

3. I turned it off, because I thought that it would charger faster that way.

4. I checked it hours later and found that it wouldn't turn on, not even to show a low battery alert. It's still plugged in. So I unplugged and plugged it back in, and now the white charging light is on.

Anyway seen this behaviour before?
[Motorola Droid 3] danifunker:
Some laptops use a low power usb connection. A lot of the time this is true when the laptop is running on battery power. I know that charging mode actually requires an os running (which is why everyone always recommends keeping your phone charged before doing an SBF recovery), so I can easily see how if your laptop was sending the minimum power for data connectivity, and your phone was running in "charge mode" how it could drain.

That being said, I usually carry a upgraded my battery to the verizon extended, and also carry around a fully charged original battery, as well as an energi2go XP2000.
[Motorola Droid 3] mikedyk43:
Actually, people recommend that you have your phone charged before doing an SBF is because the phone will not allow any programming to take place unless it has more than 50% battery. I discovered this the hard way when I bricked my phone with a low battery and was unable to charge it because it had was unable to boot. I wound up having to "hotwire" a charger directly to the battery terminals.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vwc_maxwellsmart:
Hi guys

I'm looking forward to use Link2sd so I installed minitoll partition wizard and tried to create 2 partitions:

1 Primary 7 Gb FAT32

1 Primary 0.6 Gb Ext2

i could never complete the task and partition wizard kept saying the sd card was unformatted. I found on anther thread that for some phones Ext2 partition did not work and that a second Fat32 could solve the issue.

I went down that road and the sd formatting went fine creating 2 Fat32 partition.

The BIG problem is that the sd card (Kingston 8 Gb class4) is extremely slow, getting all my backuo data back into it took like 30 hours.

Is this normal ?

What is the proper partition combination for the X8 on order to use Link2sd ??

Such slow writing speed to the sdcard seems a pretty high price to pay...is it worth ???
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipusen:
I used the same software to create partition in my Sandisc 8GB class2 SD card. It took around 10 mins to create and format the card with 7.5GB FAT32 and 0.5GB Ext2. Both are primary.

I suggest you to check the Card and software by interchanging them. That is try with same software on a new computer with this card and again on your machine try a new or another card.

Another way that you can make the partition in CWM recovery.

Positively there is something wrong, the time you mentioned is too unusual.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vwc_maxwellsmart:
Hi

Thanks a lot, when you are so close to the trees you can't see the forest.jaja

After several combinations I realized that the sd card port on the laptop was defective. I used an usb adapter and partioned with minitools, just as you said and worked...finally.

Cheers

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chubby_Skunk:
So my mom is using my "old" Captivate. When she was on the beta version of Android 2.2, the data and cell connection kept turning off and she would have to restart the phone in order for it to work again.

I updated the phone by flashing Android 2.3.5 (I897 UC KK1). It was working totally fine and then it started to have the same issues as before.

I was wondering if anyone could be kind and help out.

If a new modem needs to be flashed, how do I do that?

As of now, there is NO root on my mom's phone since she doesn't care about that stuff.

All help is much appreciated! :)

You can try other modems. You need CWM to do that. Flash a kernel with CWM and then flash from the huge list of modems that can be found at Oxicottin's thread
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
I believe you could also extract the modem.bin from those zip files. You could then place that modem.bin in the PHONE slot within ODIN and just flash the modem itself without ever changing the kernel.

Please someone correct me if I am leading him wrong. This would require him to only flash with ODIN once and still keep his stock kernel.

You are right that can be done as well.

Well, I got my early upgrade and it's time to retire the HD2 from active duty. It's been a helluva ride. It's hard to believe that i was about to send this phone back shortly after I got it. After looking for fixes online for the text messaging locking up and other issues, I found xda, and it changed my whole view of this phone and opened my eyes to what it was capable of. I would like to thank everyone who answered my questions and a special thanks to those responsible for CyanogenMod7, AmericanAndroid, and the Energy ROMS. I used this phone for personal and work use everyday with little to no issues. The Samsung Galaxy S II I'm replacing it with seems like an awesome phone so far, but the HD2 will always be the first phone that I've always wanted.

congratulations on your Galaxy S II. really awesome device.

I've been having a problem with my cwm4 recovering my data. Due to it's size it errors out while trying to restore and from looking at the web i learnt that it's because unyaffs supports (#define MAX_OBJECTS 10000). if the files are more it bugs. I didn't know that before hand though and now I am kinda in a tough situation. I have some very important data that I need to get back but it seems the only way is to use a patched clockworkmod4 that supports more files. Anyone know if there is one?

my phone right now is stuck booting to the white htc evo screen, sitting for a second, then rebooting back the the white screen, and just looping like that.

before it started doing that, i was on my phone, with bootmanager, i installed jared's ics rom to a slot, and then i booted to it. the install of the gapps wasnt quite working correctly, so i was gonna install it to the phone then nadroid, then put it in a slot. so i when straight from my slot 1 rom, to recovery, flashed the phonerom update.zip then did a backup of my phonerom before installing the ics rom. after doing the backup, i installed the new rom, and gapps, hit reboot, and now im looping.

thats the best description of my situation, i really hope someone can help out, if any more information is needed, let me know

thanks in advance

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
As an it just keeps rebooting when you try to go to the bootloader?

And well the only way is if you were to extract the boot image of a working rom, and flashed it using fastboot; and no problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aadcrasher:
i can get into bootloader, but not recovery. and i dont think i have any .img's
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
What happened when you choose recovery? Have to tried re-flashing a recovery?

Also, extract a rom zip, then copy the boot.img from that rom into your adb tools folder. From the bootloader, select fastboot, connect to pc, from adb run:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot
