Can someone suggest a good working ad block app for non-rooted phone?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
You probably need to root because the apps add stuff to your hosts file located in /system/etc

And to do that they need SuperUser permissions

Thank you! And damn, just went stock and didn't want to root for the OTA's... :-)

At work, we now have to use MobileIron to access our company's Exchange server.

Unfortunately, there is no support yet for WP7.

There is a WP 6.x MobileIron client, which is installed with a cab file.

I was wondering if somehow this could be ported to WP7?

Hi all,

I have just updated to ICS and since then the music app searches and downloads album art every 5 minutes. is there a way of turning this feature off as it isnt needed and probably uses up battery connnecting to internet etc.

Hi,

I am assuming you are using the HTC music player.

Let the music start to play,then,go to settings-->update album art and un-tick "Auto-update"

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCRocks:
With all the talk of police being able to access your phone, I looked in to the options.

I found I could use the following options....

1) unlock password.

bypassed by: if the police dont have your PIN or unlock pattern, Google can be required to provide your email ID/PW to enable unlock

2) encrypted phone

bypassed by: I am unsure how this can be bypassed. If encryption is turned on, I know it breaks CWM, but is there any way to get by it w/o knowing the PIN? Is there any reset besides a wipe of the phone, which would clear any P.I.I. on the phone, wouldn't it?

3) recovery

bypassed by: if you cant get in to the phone, and choose instead to boot into recovery, you can get access to the phones data, but how much access? If you encrypted your data, will this bypass anything? Will the data still be encrypted.

What I would love to see possible, is a PIN for recovery that is a stand alone item with no way to reset it. I know this mean you would have to ODIN if you every forgot it, but if you are more concerned about protecting your data, than data loss, this would be a non-issue, as long as your data is protected

So, is the recovery lock even needed? does encrypting your data and your SD card get the protection needed to prevent access to your phone by authorities, even with Google's help?

I would love to see some security and developers views on this, and on how "safe" you can make your phone if you go all out.

When I go to download an item I an told I don't have enough space I have a 32gb micro SD and still have at least 19gb free I am running shostock2 v1.0 (will be upgraded by the end of the day to g1.1) is there a way to combine internal SD with external SD?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TOA Duck:
Definitely no way to combine the 2 as far as i know. (that's what wp7 does and locks the ext sd up).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
What are you downloading? When downloading an app I think it requires the space to be available in the "device memory", that partition is where apps install be default and is about 2 GB. If you are downloading a single file over 19 GB, then you would have to move the files from your SD card to your phone memory to make the space available in a single place.

Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
If you're downloading a file from your browser, you can set the default download location to your SD card instead of your phone memory.

If you're downloading an app and you're out of space, yeah your only option is to move some apps to the SD.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Greycloak42:
As explained above: you need to have enough room in the phone's internal memory. Go to settings/applications and move some existing apps to the external SD. I had to do this recently when trying to install Modern Combat 3.

Ok, all you need to do is set the default download location to your external SD instead of the internal. In gingerbread it's pretty easy to find in the browser settings...I have to assume that's where it is in ICS too.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Listen: the memory card IS NOT split. You have an external SD card. That's the one you can take out and hold in your hand. You also have another one of those that you can't take out; it's built into the phone. That's the internal SD card. Two different cards, not one split into two.

just like EVERY other phone out there, its advertised as 16gb

thats 16gb TOTAL storage.

it gets divided up into PARTITIONS just like EVERY OTHER phone

system

'internal' which is where APPLICATIONS get installed

/mnt/sdcard which is 12+/- GB of USER ACCESSIBLE SPACE *this is where stuff gets DOWNLOADED when you are downloading from the interwebz

/mnt/sdcard/external_sd (/mnt/emmc in AOSP roms) THIS IS THE EXTERNAL sd card...the REMOVABLE one

why do you keep thinking you are getting screwed out of space? or that anything is any different than other phones?

Whenever i Install an gingerbread or cm7 Rom 2.3.7 on my x8,

after it the sd card in the phone is protected against writing, only reading.

The phone dont see the SD card anymore , and on my pc it see the card in my cardreader but i cant copy and paste things from it.

When i directly connect the phone with the sd card in it to my pc via usb, the pc dont see the sd card also.

Then when i flash back to the original Rom, the SD card is back normal like writing and reading and my phone sees the card.

Also i can Copy and paste like normal.

When i flash to froyo pro 24 (2.2.9 android) the phone also see the card like normal.

Looks to me something in 2.3 android versions mess with my SD card and set it on read only...

Does someone know what this could be?

Thnx in advance,

Henk
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidSoftmods:
what sd card do you have? did you try format it?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henk600:
It is the standard 4gb card that was in the box from the x8.

I install the roms via this sdcard.

I also formatted it but that did not solve the problem.

there is no ''lock''on the card, and after i flash it back to the original stock rom with flashtool it shows the card with no write or read protection.

In android 1.6 ,2.1 and 2.2 till version 2.2.9 i dont have the sd card issues.

I checked mini cm shakira,

herodroid

gx stock

prime hd and 2 other roms based on android 2.3.

Some i reinstalled and full wiped after the installation but that made no difference.

(offcourse i always full wipe/factory before installing the Roms )

In''storage settings it always say:

-total space

unavailable

-Available space

unavailable

-mount Sd card

Insert a sd card for mounting

-erase Sd card

erases all data on the phone Sd card such as music and photos.

(This is the only option that is highlighted and usable, and it erases only files when i tested it, it dont format the card)

I also tried to unlock the read only protection to place the mini sd card in the cardreader but i can't find an option to unlock that protection.

It only shows the files on the card but i cant copy and paste something.

(Both in windows7 and windows xp)

Some of them are on Stock kernel and the mini cm7 on an naa kernel.

(problem with the naa kernel was that i could not update the fix after flashing the rom in xrecovery,

since right after the flash from my sd card to mm7 my sdcard was on read only and write protected........had to reinstall the stock version by flashtool again and install xrecovery again and busybox,rooting, to start after with the flashing of custom roms again.

All of them did something with the sd card that it is read only when i place it in my sd card reader on pc ,and its not visible on the phone.

With some roms i can access the sd card via cwm or xrecovery to flash an rom zip but sometimes it says it cant mount''e'',

which is my sd card.

After i flashed my phone back to stock rom via flashtool, the sd card is visible again on the phone and not read or write protected.

Also on froyo pro 24(android 2.2) i dont have this sd card problem.

Could it be that there is some kind of driver for my sd card so that my phone reconize the sd card?

I really don't know what this issue could be and im stucked on 2.2 now.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afifth:
you're using 2nd ext partition?

The problem is, "ChaisFirzen" (ChaosFirZen) has been caught out posting up other people's work, making extremely minor changes, and then calling it his own. When he was called out on it, he pretends to be remorseful, but then tries it another way. He is more of a copycat than a dev. He claims to be just this innocent little 12 year old that doesn't know any better, but how many times does someone have to be told this is wrong before that excuse comes up bogus?
