[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galmok:
I have had low memory problems on my S2/4.1.2 for a long time. I have tried to get by by moving apps to the SD Card (the internal one as I can't move to the external one). This just isn't enough anymore. So I have tried moving some apps by force to the internal sdcard and while this seems to work fine, the apps are lost after a reboot.

I have tried moving using the adb shell command: "pm set-install-location 2" and also tried moving the apps using an app that requires root. The result is the same. App works fine until reboot after which it vanishes.

Is there a trick to make apps force-moved to sdcard stay working?

Especially Google Chrome would be nice to move to sdcard as it uses 60MB+ when installed.

Or is it possible to repartition the system without reinstalling everything?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machokingjim:
Yes you can use all in one toolbox(which i use) and several other in the playstore like link2sd

By these you wont lose your apps after a reboot

Hope it helps u mate:D

p.s. also if you force move an app it may get broken
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galmok:
Link2SD only works with external SD cards and only when they are repartitioned. External SD cards are not where I want to put my apps as that location is unreliable. I would like to use the internal SD card memory (there is 5GB free which I have no other use for).

My phone's memory is split into system, data and internal SD card partitions. The data partition is used for apps. When I move to SD card, apps get moved to the internal SD card (poor name). The external SD card is just for media.

I have moved 2 upgraded system apps (that would occupy data memory) to the system partition (which now has 2% free) but that freed some MB from the data partition.

Link2SD can force move apps, but when I do that, they disappear after a reboot. The only place I can see any leftovers of those apps are in the programmanager where they appear with internal names like com.something.somethingelse. When visiting google play for those apps, they are not installed and I am offered to have them installed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galmok:
I cannot mount my internal partitions on windows as I am not using a custom rom. I do not have the "mounts and storage" option in my recovery mode.

Anyway, that link is just for errorchecking the partition and removing stuff. Using the ADB shell and busybox, I could run fsck if I needed to.

But the space I would regain (if any) will probably not be something like the 500MB-1GB that I need.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galmok:
I was perhaps hoping to repartition with a non-destructive tool, but I don't know if it has been ported to android (I would guess it has).

This is the partition table:

Command (m for help):

I would like to shrink partition 11 (UMS, internal sd card, 11GB) and expand partition 10 (DATAFS, data partition, 2GB). They are placed next to each other so I wont have to touch any of the other partitions.

Anyone have tried that?

I could probably settle for a solution that moved the apps to internal sd card and linked to them. I would try it myself, but I don't know enough of androids inner workings on what to move.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galmok:
Also, my phone has the brick bug but I have no idea what this actually means. Is this something that could cause a problem if I used a partition manager on the internal memory?

Hello to the xda world!!

I was going to buy and One mini..but i found out that people here are not quite happy with it and the forum is not so alive..So if you could help me and tell whether it is a good idea to actually buy it or not?

Thank you very much!
[HTC One Mini] dhf9*&Dh884jdk:
It's a great phone, but there isn't a lot of development for it. If you're okay with using stock or a stock based rom and customizing it yourself then you'll love it.

Right now the only options is a rooted versions of the AT&T and WWE versions of the stock rom both Odexed and DeOdexed and MagioRom which is based off the Sense 5 Rom. It's supposed to be getting a lot of changes in the next update (performance and battery improvements as well as the ability to choose which mods you want) which I'm looking forward to. Someone was working on getting CM 10.2 on the One Mini, I sent him a message so I'll let you know what he says when he replies back.
[HTC One Mini] INVICTUS79:

[HTC One Mini] RuffBuster:

[HTC One Mini] leungalv:
If you want it, I would recommend getting it. It's not that I'm unhappy with the phone itself. It's a lovely phone. My personal opinion is that there's not enough XDA support for it at the moment, availability is a little low and having come from an HTC One S it's not too much of an "upgrade". All of these things should be picking up as the phone becomes more widely distributed. In Canada, the Rogers network is getting this phone soon, and they're going to be releasing the blue versions soon too. I have a feeling as HTC gets everything sorted out, things will pick up.

The phone itself is a good phone, but if you're looking for something that's going to blow you away, it doesn't really.

Battery life of this phone I have found so far to be phenomenal. At 18 hours the phone was at 36% and that's with me talking on the phone for 4 hours on bluetooth, surfing the internet on WIFI and just general tinkering with it.

I would have been preferred to have the Sony Z1f (and maybe I might just do that when it comes out), but at this point and time, this was the best option for me. My cousin picked up the Moto X ... felt kinda cheap.

Anyways, I don't know if that helped you out much, but if you're looking for a phone in THIS size and want it RIGHT NOW, then I'd say go for it. If not, maybe wait for the Sony Z1f. :)
[HTC One Mini] TheEndHK:
The forum not alive isn't entirely true. It's not the fault of One Mini so no one get it, you are safe to buy One Mini.

The real problem is One Mini isn't a real upgrade to previous model(One S) which made 95% of folks decided to live with the older model.

I'm an One S user but I want to give Zoe a try. I'll get a Mini later when the price cheaper.

Hi,

I Searched here in the forum and found nothing specific. I bought this game for my brothers Alcatel one-touch in playstore, an impulse buy, but when I looked for it in my note 10.1 and my son's tab 2 7.0, it says in both that the game is not compatible in playstore. My brother's alcatel is not rooted so I can't copy the apk. Guess I need to get it from other sources other than the playstore.

[HTC One Mini] ma_ko:
I have a question. For me One is the most beautiful Android smartphone ever released. Dunno why but that's true. I'm tired of those similar Xperia phones or ovoid Samsungs, they are ugly :P (really no offence that's just my opinion) However One it's quite too expensive and quite too big for me so I was happy when I dicovered One Mini. I've read some reviews already and I noticed people mostly complaining about low RAM or that One Mini should be smaller One with the same specs. Now I'm entering One Mini section on XDA and what I see. Topics about how this phone is already dead or why it isn't so awesome like One... Not much topics of new roms, mods (or maybe it's just a matter of time, I hope so) It saddens me because I wanted to buy it new as my first, serious, recently released smartphone... Now I have an old Xperia PLAY so you know... So my question is: Is this phone really that bad? I suppose there will be a big difference between One mini and my old phone but I would feel bad knowing that I could choose better phone in that price... you know it's not a small price. Nexus 4? I heard it's nice, it has got many updates, but it is limited (?) naked without for example awesome sense 5.0 and other multimedia things... Are there any One mini user on this forum? Can you use Facebook, listen to music, browse Internet at the same time? And then play Asphalt for example without having forced to go into killing other apps? Thank you for your answer ;)

Sorry, English is not my native
[HTC One Mini] dhf9*&Dh884jdk:
Someone just asked a similar question which I replied to reguarding the development issue, you can read it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2499138

It's a beautiful phone. I think they should have given it 2GB of memory, but it isn't too big of a deal, it's just as fast as any Android phone with 1GB of memory. I don't have Asphalt, but I can run Pandora, Facebook, Google Play, Robot Unicorn Attack 2, and Chrome with 1 tab open fine. If I open more than 1 tab then Robot Unicorn Attack 2 will reload when I switch back to it. I also have avast! Free Mobile Security, Smart Wifi Toggler, No-Frills CPU Control, and the Contacts and Messages apps running in the background. For a 1GB phone it multitasks just fine, but it won't multitask as well as a phone with 2GB (obviously).

Are you choosing the HTC One Mini for the size or the price? Reason I ask is because the difference in size between the One Mini and the Nexus 4.
[HTC One Mini] ma_ko:
Actually I'm looking for a smaller phone, I noticed that Nexus 4 has bigger screen but at the same time it's cheaper so I thought about it too. But on the other side One mini is smaller, more handy and very good-looking and I will buy it instead of Nexus 4 probably ;) So in the next days I will be more active in this section :P
[HTC One Mini] EdiBese:
hello ma_ko

you dont do anything wrong with buying this phone. i have my MINI 3 months now and i cant tell anything really negative.

i like this long format of the display. its nearly 16:9 format widescreen but not full. i think its 16:10 or something like that.

the phone i a bit long yes, unneccesarily. they could do it a bit shorter, so you could handle better with one hand.

but overall i like my phone very much.

It is not slow, i can hear music and surf beside. this is no problem. you dont need to worry about the perfomance :).

I think 1gb ram is more than enough, i never had problems..

You are right. There are no custom roms yet, but they WILL come in a few weeks i think, at least CM 4.3 Nightlies :)
[HTC One Mini] dhf9*&Dh884jdk:
It's a 16:9 screen (1280x780). It's a great phone, you'll love it. Whether it's the best for you is up to you.

Another phone you might want to look at is the Moto X. It has a 4.7" 720p screen, but it's almost the same physical size as the HTC One Mini. The Nexus 5 debuts on the 31st, but that'll have a 5 inch screen so it'll be as big as the Galaxy S4.
[HTC One Mini] TheEndHK:
The previous model of One Mini is One S from last year. The problem is One Mini isn't really a major upgrade to One S. In the end, most guys there on One S board(I would say almost all actually) decided to keep their One S. They also have a leaked official 4.2.2 Sense 5.0 from HTC, OS upgrade isn't a problem to them.

Clearly, it's not One Mini fault but fuxking stupid HTC Marketing to force people stay with old model. You don't have an One S, you are safe to get One Mini.
[HTC One Mini] edinletir:
I love my one mini <3

I had a Huawei G300 prior to it and I wonder how I even used the thing! The HTC One Mini is so much faster and snappier, the speakers give amazing sound, it makes so much more sense to have stereo and to have the speakers at the front! I don't know but I think the design of it makes videos look better on it, when I watch YouTube videos for example, it's just really nice. xD

I put a clear silicon case on it so now it looks like the edges of the phone are made of glass (well to me at least), and I've changed the theme using the Themer Beta app

I took some pictures of it but it won't let me post them because I haven't got enough posts.. .-.

Anyway, I don't know, if you haven't decided on a phone yet, I think you'll be impressed by it. Also the camera is awesome.

The other kinds of phone designs, ovoids like you said look reaaaally outdated to me now.. I don't think I could go back to something like that!

The only thing I'd say is annoying about it is that it doesn't have a menu button, so you have to go from the top notification bar to go into the settings but I got used to it pretty quickly. Also I've heard that the plastic cracked for some people but that hasn't happened to me. Maybe because I had the case from the day I got it and I keep it in my bag so I guess it's safer..?

You can set the home button to bring up menu from long press under display options.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackHanAnLG:
Hey guys, Ive recently started caring about battery life more then anything else for my phone as i dont play games.

Ive been researching for hours on end finding a ROM I like and a battery friendly Kernel, so far so good, 25% gone and ive hit 1.5hours of screen on time, which is pretty good, you would expect it to be 6 hours of screen on time in total then but its not..

Ive had the phone for 16 months now, and it seems whenever it gets below 70% the battery just eats away at itself, resulting in 2.5 hours of screen on time, so that whole extra 75% is only giving me an extra hour

Would you say the battery is getting old? and should I get a official Samsung one or a bigger unit

Thanks

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
On stock kernel and TW based rom with greenify I get 6hrs screen time and around a day/day & a half use from a new standard capacity battery.

If you're using the phone 'normally' then % decrease should be fairly linear, steep drops indicate the electrodes are damaged and cell capacity reduced. Get a new genuine one or reputable OEM, larger capacity means a new back plate (doesn't matter what the advert says it's physically impossible to get more mAh into the same size as a standard battery).

You get around 50 charge cycles from a new battery before capacity is measurably reduced, I've never kept a battery much past 8 or 10 months.

LG OGP has an awesome feature called Wireless Storage (File Networking). This feature gives us the ability to share any of the phone storage (Internal and external storage and external) without any hustle.

To get it to work you have to go to Settings->Networks (tab)->Share & Connect->File Networking and select "Share my folder" option you will receive the device IP address and name for access.

Now all you have to do is to go to your PC and enter in Windows Explorer the phone address (//Device name or //Device IP).

You should get very good transfer speed (about 2MB/s@2.4Ghz and 4MB/s@5Ghz)

I tried any combination possibly without success I also turned my firewall off and still no go. I also tried with another PC on another network.

I can ping the phone but I can't connect it through explorer :(

Did someone successfully manage to get it to work ?

Hey Guys.

I think now we all know that pulling the Notification drawer is very laggy, but in many apps its buttery smooth. So i think the problem is the drawer combined with the launcher. On Nova Launcher i found a fix for this. My Notification drawer is very smooth now, like in the apps where it was smooth before. The Only thing i did was:

Nova Settings -> Desktop -> Wallpaper Scrolling-> and now tick Force (in german Kraft). Its designed for other phones which dont support wallpaper scrolling but it increases the smoothness of the drawer extremly :)

I hope i could help somebody. This was the only thing what annoyed me on aosp roms :D
