[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atraperegrinus:
thanks!

I played around after i knew my kindle wouldn't blow up, and it turns out if i delete a folder still in use, it gets replaced upon reboot anyway. :D

Now i have a freshly cleaned SD, and i finally flashed ICS! thanks a ton.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rege420:
Do all games get installed to sd? I had contract killer zombies, six guns, shreck cart, asphalt 6 and a couple others that needed aditonal downloads. I cant find the files for the games anywhere. Is it safe to just delete all the files on the sd and will the games I still have be affected?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Any apps installed on your sdcard can be found in the "sdcard/Android/data" folder
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rege420:
I don't see them there at least not all of them dead space isn't there and neither is uno. I'm looking for the additional data that Cretan games download.contract killer zombies needed like another 250 Mb when I installed it and when I uninstalled it I didn't get that 250 back its still on there somewhere
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I don't know what to tell you. I have Dead Space and it's folder is in /Android/data. Are you looking for an apk or a folder?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rege420:
Folder
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rege420:
Still cant find them. Is it ok to just start deleting things or will it screw up the games I still have
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Before you do anything crazy...What exactly are you trying to accomplish with finding these files? Are you trying to free up space? If that's the case, check your .Trashes folder. There may be files in there that still haven't been deleted. That's happened to me before.

The 250Mb that Dead Space downloads goes in the com.eagames.deadspace folder located in /Android/data. If you uninstalled it, it will be temporarily moved to the .Trashes folder (I think).
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rege420:
Yes I'm trying to free up space. I still have dead space but I don't see a eagames folder or a .trashes folder I'm more specificly looking for contract killer zombies and six guns. I managed to find uno shrek cart and asphalt 6. But there not in android /data

Where is the .trashes folder at
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I don't know what else to tell you. I have a com.eagames.deadspace folder and a .trashes folder that I sometimes have to empty and they're both on my sdcard.

I guess the .trashes folder could be a product of using a Mac to mount my sdcard but I don't use Windows so I can't say for sure. Any folder with a "." in front is hidden and cannot be seen by some file browsers like ES File Explorer. For that you need Root Explorer or set your computer to show hidden files. Check it out.

I can't imagine why a certain Dead Space game folder would be installed in a certain location on one device and not the other. Maybe you're missing something.

You can delete whatever you want from your sdcard but make sure to copy it to your computer first in case you need to put something back.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rege420:
Thanks maybe the problem is I'm using ES and not root ill try root now see if that helps
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rege420:
Well I cant use root explorer because I'm not rooted. So I connected to my Pc with show hidden files enabled still no luck. I'm just going to give up for now. But thanks for the help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ravenbf:
Hello Everyone,

I am enjoying my Galaxy Nexus very much, but I am a little confused about doing a backup. I am currently unlocked bootloader but have un-rooted in preparations for the Verizon OTA. My question is....what is the best way to do a full back up non rooted. I currently have the full version of My Backup Pro, but that doesn't seem to backup the data portion of an app....just the app. I have used Wugs toolkit to do a backup, but I was wondering what is the easiest/best way.

I am confused I think due to the lack of an actual SD card. I cam from a Droid X and had it rooted and used Titanium Backup and My Backup Pro with no issues. Thanks for any help!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FredFS456:
If you want to do a complete backup you can flash CWM in fastboot (using mskip's GNex Toolkit), do a nandroid backup, then flash back to stock recovery. Only requires unlocked bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Rooting has NO IMPACT WHATSOEVER on your ability to receive and install the OTA update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
efrant is correct, you will still be notified of the official OTA even if you have your bootloader unlocked and you are rooted. Once you download and install the OTA, then you will lose root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ravenbf:
Thanks for the responses. From my understanding though, if you used CWM to do your root (Wug's Toolkit) you would not be able to see/get the OTA. Is this correct? What method are you using to root your Nexus?

Again thanks for the help!!!! Another thing that is messing me up is the Google/Samsung/Verizon versions of the OTA. I have "mysid" so do I need to wait for the OTA or can I flash one of the 4.04s that are around. I am still learning about the difference of GSM vs CDMA and I really don't want to create issues with my Nexus!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amonfog:
Why install clockworkmod?

You can install clockwork by doing (in the assumption you renamed the clockwork recovery img to cwm.img):

"Fastboot flash recovery cwm.img" okay...

But you can also run cwm without installing it to the system by doing:

"Fastboot boot cwm.img"

When you reboot the system afterward your phone will erase the one-time run and refer back to it's old ways again.

No manufacturer will know what you did and you don't run the risk of flashing a conflicting stock recovery back. Plus the fact that your nandroid backup will flash the right recovery to when you ever need to put a backup back after a crash.
[General Questions and Answers] 112358:
Ok so here's the problem. I got my phone rooted, got Clockworkmod intalled, and downloaded a rom I want to install. Here's the catch though. I did a ROM wipe, (it said to in the instructions), but instead of going back and installing the rom that i wanted, I re-booted the phone. It now hangs on the Samsung Galaxy W SGH-T679M logo. Ican get it into download mode, but not recovery. Any suggestions?

I recently purchased a generic 32GB Class 6 microSD from a US seller on eBay. I received it and it read fine in my Windows machines, and after reformatting (FAT32), Linux read it as well. It will not, however, read in my HTC Inspire 4G (rooted and running custom ICS 4.0.3 ROM) or any of the other mobile devices I tried it in (Blackberry Curve, Palm Treo Pro, Droid Bionic). Does anyone know of any way I can get this working in my Android? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[General Accessories] Motkeb:
did you try to format it to ntfs?

or you may try to reformat it to fat32 and select the default allocation size
[General Accessories] stenlibi:
Use the SDformatter tool from sdcard.org to format your card. If it still doesnt work with your phone, then i think is a compatibility issue...
[General Accessories] chamnv:
It work Windows or Linux? You try format?
[General Accessories] juzz86:
Also, if you have access to a Symbian S60-powered device, try using it to format the card. This is my 'last-ditch' effort to save stuffed cards :)

The Panasonic SD formatting tool is attached for you.

maybe your phone doesn't support 32gb sdcard

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sadams1:
Im going to be honest, this was the first time i have unlocked, rooted, etc. Anyways, I was going to update my galaxy nexus to 4.0.4 through ODIN. It seemed like everything was going well but the process failed. My nexus is now stuck on a screen that has a phone, a yellow triangle, and then a monitor. No idea what to do. I have all of the drivers installed on my laptop, but when i plug my phone in it does recognize it as my nexus device.

Any help would be greatly appreciated because I need to get my phone working as soon as possible.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sadams1:
please will someone help me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FredFS456:
Can you get the phone into fastboot mode? (turn it off, pull battery if necessary, then turn on by holding VolUp + VolDown + Power)

If yes, download the GNex Toolkit 5.6 from the development section of the GNex forums. Use option 8 to get back to complete stock (you will lose all data). I'm also assuming your bootloader is unlocked which by your post it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sadams1:
I have tried to access fastboot, but as soon as I put the battery back in the phone returns to the "pda - yellow triangle - monitor" screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thos25:
can you use adb to get into Fastboot or will it not recognize any commands?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BrianMigs:
Sometimes when I fling a page down like Engadget, the scrolling seems smooth until it slows down and lags for a couple frames before stopping. Is there anyway to stop this? I have flash content turned off. The same page on my Nexus just seems so much smoother. I figured a Tegra 3 would be able to handle web page rendering a bit better.

The same thing happens for Nova Launcher, when I hit the apps drawer button, sometimes my Prime will be a little choppy rendering my apps. On my Nexus, it's always super smooth.

I'm running Jermaine's AOKP build, but it happens on any ROM I've tried to flash. Is there any particular reason why this is happening?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
I wonder the same thing. I use AOKP on my droid Razr and it runs like a champ (and we aren't even using an ICS kernel yet LMAO!) but I have similar issues on my prime, even clocked at 4x1.8ghz.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BrianMigs:
Yeah, I don't think it should be necessary to overclock a quad-core Tegra 3 to 1.8Ghz just for that. I have my max clock set at 1.3Ghz, or 1.5Ghz if I'm feeling adventurous
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] julien.me:
Have you guys tried another other ROM to see if the browsing is better?

I am unable to try that as I am stuck with a locked bootloader (stupid unknown s/n that never got fixed properly in the RMA).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SOTK:
I've seen others complain about Internet browsing and just haven't experienced problems. My only complaint with browsers on the Prime and my GNex for that matter is poor flash performance and being forced to view web pages in mobile mode. I absolutely hate that. The hardware in my GNex and especially this Prime is more than capable of rendering full HTML. This tablet is faster than my daughters Netbook and faster than one of my laptops. I wish Google and developers would get with the program and deliver a full browser experience. I've been using Dolphin with my Prime and it seems to be the better browser I've tried so far. I can at least set it up so that it operates in "desktop mode" giving me full HTML browsing; however, it's still not as good as it should be. I like Chrome. I wish Google would give us tablet users the full Chrome experience. There's no reason not to have the full and complete browser at our disposal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
I'm beginning to think it is the Tegra 3/Nvidia optimizations. Not a good example but the HTC One X sure has a lot of browser issues.

Even though it doesn't have flash, Safari on the iphone/ipads sure are fast considering its many cores and mhz down. Software can make a big difference.

Saw this over on the One X forum. http://eu.blizzard.com/en-gb/

The fire in Diablo ad is smooth on my exynos Galaxy S2 while its slow mo on the Prime. Just like phonearena's video of the Galaxy Nexus(fast) vs One X(slow).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BrianMigs:
Is this something that can be fixed in future updates from Asus since they're the ones with access to the proper Tegra 3 drivers?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
opera mobile solved all previous browser issues for me. smooth & fluid as a mofo. plays flash with no problems. loads pages the fastest. lag free scrolling. And all of this is on stock 1.2Ghz :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
It's not so bad for me. This is engadget full site. Taken with my phone camera so not the greatest and shows distortion and choppiness while recording. Overall very smooth browsing.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
I would tend to agree with you but Opera has been crashing on me. I'll be browsing then bam....crash lol.Pisses me off.Also has problems running YouTube videos all the way thru too.I even uninstalled & reinstalled but no dice.It does load pages insanely fast though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fazerrider:
well, the reason for lag isn't the Prime or the browser. it is ics 4.03. memory intensive tasks like javascript are performed in the main thread rather then in several threads in the background. running in the main thread in the foreground (i think single core) means it locks up your machine. the other processes have to wait until the one foreground process is done. and it doesn't help the prime that its internal memory/sd card is rather slow (cheap).

---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

running opera mobile with page rendering on a server means you skip the javascript handling on your device. that is why opera is / looks faster. I think Sony's engineers have solved the problem on their machines and I think it will be solved in ics 4.04
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
Could be the browser, have you tried other browsers instead of the stock one?

I found that on previous versions (.21 seems better) if i had too many icons on my homescreens scrolling between screens was slow, different launchers were faster.

The same way you can notice a difference running chrome and IE on a desktop you can notice differences in different apps on android. Its just a matter of finding ones that work how you want. Maybe nova launcher isnt for you, have you tried others? Maybe in your custom rom they tweaked something, maybe more adjustments need to be made.

You can't compare your Nexus and your Prime, they are two different beasts. One is a motorcycle and one is a car. Different processors, different GPU's, different screen sizes, Different browsers, differen launchers, hell even different versions of ICS. Yes they both run the same apps, and run genereally the same way, but they are very very different.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I'm talking about opera mobile, not opera mini. opera mini is the one sent through severs and compressed in all that to be extra fast. Opera mini is a stripped down non flash version of opera mobile. I run opera mobile with flash on and still does everything fast. I don't cut on the Turbo mode or anything so its the straight browser working. Regardless, for me, its by far the best. I hardly ever run into sites it doesn't display properly. I have like 6 of the top browsers. no matter how many times I switch to compare, opera mobile comes out on top.

So even if its true that opera servers handle page rendering. more kudos to them. less work for my prime to do and is probably a factor into why opera mobile also uses the least amount of battery out of all the ones I have. plus opera mobile is the only browser to let you upload files and pix from it. when downloading or uploading through it, its the only one that brings up a mini file explorer to let you choose which folder you want to save to. Im not talking about others where you have to go thru settings and choose a folder and every time it downloads to that folder. opera mobile brings up a file explorer that you can choose whatever folder you want for each individual download or upload. Plus opera mobile is the only browser that doesn't hang on huge downloads or mess them up by improperly labeling them. I've downloaded plenty of big movie and rom files(FPse) with no issue.

IMO, no browser is touching Opera mobile right now. they definitely know what their doing when it comes to making a great browser. I rarely get any pop up messages telling me to wait or crashing.

all extra info just F.Y.I :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrakoris:
Funny, but when I continuously scroll page, or scroll with right bar – no lag or freeze. When i use standard finger swipe scrolling with timeouts (1 sec more than enough) - every new swipe starts with lag. I think cpu is drop down to sleep phase in browser somehow.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Ditto. Finger scroll is so stuttery for me as if I'm running single core.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
Which you probably are, since ninja core is supposed to take care of simple tasks like browsing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] roccodaone:
I have no problems of this kind. Browsing is very smooth for me, I used to have those lock ups, but it seems Boat browser solved my problems. I'm stock and I have forced 2d acceleration enabled.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TransformerPrime:
I just tried opera mobile and it's indeed smooth scrolling. The only thing I will need to get used to is the interface for tabs... the stock tab is easier to close or switch by just 1 click.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dalingrin:
I find AOSP(CM9, AOKP) to be a little faster for some reason. I'm running CM9 and I've never gotten the browser not responding message.

There are some pretty big things coming to CM9 soon'ish for the Transformer Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
WRONG. The browser on my GSM Galaxy Nexus has been amazingly smooth since launch day. It's not the OS. It's Asus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
And/or Nvidia!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jeejee:
Only browser on my Prime that has smooth scrolling is Opera Mini Next. But it lacks Flash and JavaScript. But it even has really nice transition effects when you click a link/go back. It also seems to be the only browser that actually doesn't load the whole page again when you click the back button. I wish the "real" browsers behaved similarly.

Opera Mobile on the other hand scrolls at like 10 fps or so, making it pretty much unusable. I find it really strange that apparently for some people it is smooth.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Eoin247:
I'm using it right now (opera mobile). Very smooth and so far the best browser on the prime! Just as good as any browser on my pc.

My only gripe is the lack of one click incognito browsing :o ,

That blizzard example given earlier is perfect on opera mobile, obviously not so good on stock. Don't now why tbh.

So it's the browser

NOT

the machine. I'm using balanced mode on stock btw.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Is there another version of Opera Mobile? Cause the version Ive tried is laggy as heck except for Opera mini and Opera mine next. Can you send a link to your version or maybe post a video of how smooth it is?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkbahamut:
Agreed. I've lost count at how many times my Prime has shown 'Browser not responding'. It's honestly well into the thousands by now. I sometimes don't even use my Prime because I'm so fed up of seeing that message every couple of minutes.

On the flip side, my lowly single core HTC HD2 running ICS 4.0.3 almost never ever hangs, even though I probably browse on that 5-10 times longer every day.

I do like my Prime, but it honestly is a rubbish device for web browsing most the time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Arun01:
Ditto ...I got suckered in by the videos showing the raw power of Tegra 3 web browsing.It was loading pages lightning fast & scrolling was a breeze but this isn't the case now that i have it.I like the prime but web browsing should be better than this.IMO this a disgrace & the main reason people switch from Android back over to Apple.:mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] indie13:
Agrred web browsing on the prime is rubbish. What i dont get is why? Why was my tf101 much faster on all browsers on ics?? Why does chrome lag like a ***** on the the prime? Isnt the point of the prime to surf the web?

Im geting annoyed with this device...i want to love it i really do.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
I too still get the browser waiting but not as much anymore after I did a factory reset. I'm not sure what asus is doing differently on this ICS vs other ICS but I have a leaked ICS on my acer a100 and dont have this waiting issue. I have a feeling it has to do with the slow I/O on this device. Also why it lags like crazy when I'm downloading or doing market updates.

EDIT: Changed flash plug-ins to On Demand and it seems to have fixed the browser waiting issue. Atleast I cant replicate it (www.engadget.com and scroll while its loading the page still usually does it)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yumms:
It could be the extremely low disk read/write performance of this device. Or it could be unoptimized software from Asus/Nvidia.

Oh and Opera Mobile scrolling is NOT smooth at all on TFP. Opera Mini Next is super smooth.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TransformerPrime:
Opera Mobile so far so good, very smooth on my stock prime. I have tried stock browser, chrome and Dolphin, they all had lag or other issues here or there. None so far on OM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
For those with smooth Opera Mobile, could you guys maybe do a video if possible?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jeejee:
Could someone post a video of smooth Opera Mobile? I know people can perceive smoothness differently, but I'm having difficulties to believe someone would consider the Opera Mobile I have smooth.

I have uninstalled Flash, reinstalled Opera, tried different performance modes and toggled force GPU rendering but none of them had any effect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yumms:
For me Opera Mobile is choppy when scrolling (it actually hurts my eyes), by smooth some people might mean no lag while loading websites.

On my phone, HTC Thunderbolt (single core) there is no lag in scrolling or loading websites. It actually provides a better web experience compared to TFP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayvus:
Here are some test results from http://peacekeeper.futuremark.com/run.action

The scores are from stock TFP running .15. First three screen shots are from stock browser no changes. Second three screen shots are from latest Chrome beta browser no changes. Scores go from high to low based on Power Saving, Balanced Mode and Performance Mode. Only tab open was test tab, all background apps and tasks closed.
