Hi!
My Hero gets very laggy sometimes when I open up too much apps. Unfortunately there is no way (that I know of) to actually close an app, they just 'hibernate' in the background. I tried using TasKiller but it seems to have issues with the hero (when I try to kill apps it brings a random app forward and doesnt close it).
They best solution is just to reboot the phone. When it boots back up it works like a charm.
I thought it would be useful to have a tool that reboots the phone automatically every day at a given time (lets say 4AM) but I couldnt find any. Do You have any other solution for that problem?
I've been using Taskiller (unpaid) since I got my Hero and it's working fine.
Clicking on a task kills it, long clicking brings up the ignore/kill menu. The unpaid version allows for 2 ignores.
When I put a 'shortcut' to task killer on one of the screens it did bring up my contact list after pressing it.
But if I select task killer from the full list of installed apps it works fine, shows me a long list of whats running, you can kill them individual or hit the button at the top to kill them all.
I've been facing the same lagginess on my device, but it seems to go away after awhile. No idea why. Perhaps the system is configured to clean up every now and then?
Taskkiller seems to shut down the SenseUI, so I've stopped using it in the meantime.
What really annoys me, however, is how sometimes the SenseUI seems to crash, and all you see on the screen is the notification bar area, and the HTC logo, as though the phone was switching scenes or rebooting.

Taskiller works best if you choose individually which apps to close. You need to leave Touch Input and TouchFlo alone if you still want things to work properly!
Generally it's pretty obvious which apps you want to close e.g. Browser, GMail, Games, GMaps, etc.
Oh and I believe Android will auto-close apps when it decides the system is running low on resources (presumably RAM). That may explain why things suddenly speed up.
Going through app by app isn't something I'd like to spend my day doing. TK has been useful for me on my HTC Magic and Dream (yeah, I'm a bit of an Android man), but on Hero, I haven't really found it as useful
there a program "advanced taskkiller" at the android marketplace. you can kill all tasks at once and then get back to the sense ui by pressing the home button.. found it a good solution for me to free up some memory pretty fast

Is the app for free? I can't find it.
Unfortunately we cannot see paid apps in Poland.
Yes, it is a paid app. I had the same problem as well, but thank goodness my G1 came with an AT&T prepaid SIM card. Although the SIM card doesn't work, it is enough to identify me as a US customer when I access Market over WiFi, thus giving me access to paid apps.
It might be worthwhile for you to check if you can get your hands on a depleted AT&T SIM card on eBay or something
Has anyone tried
"Advance Task Manager" i had it on both my G1 and HTC Magic with the Hero Rom installed and it worked just fine for me.
yes, i am using it myself and it works fine.
is a free app, or at least the version i have is.
it remembers which apps you selected to shut down, so each time you go in, they are ticked already and you just have to hit the kill button.
the first time you use it, untick the ones you want to leave running and then it's good to go.

Using which one?
Advanced Task Manager is really great with the exceptions and widgets it is they best task killer out there IMO.
I got rid of the HTC TouchFLO/SenseUI and killed all of the HTC processes on my Hero. I also uninstalled Locale (very sad to do that because its very useful).
I run this configuration for two days now and I have no lag at all!
All you really loose are the HTC widgets which I didnt utilize anyways.
I just got an 8GB microsdhc Class 6 card and installed advanced task killer to get rid of the apps that were running in the background and now Henry (that's what I lovingly called my Hero) runs really quickly and with no lag at all.
Love it!
How do you identify the class of the SD card? I've got one but haven't a clue what it is?

If there is a little "6" on the card then you know that it's a class 6. Like this:
http://media.photobucket.com/image/class 6 micro sdhc/ddddadi/microSDHC4GB_a.jpg
If there is no number on the card it is most probably a "Class 2" card. Class 6 cards are more expensive, but have higher data transfer rates.

Well, seeing that a lot of the files that you access while using applications are stored on the card (photos, music etc) it does make sense. And perhaps the Hero uses the card as a swap space to store things on? I really don't know how or why it might be faster, but I have definitely noticed the difference. The phone hardly lags any more. When it does, it's literally just for half a second.
Before I often had the issue that while I was typing the phone just wouldn't keep up any more. I haven't experienced that since I have installed the new card.

It should be said that class 6 cards have higher *minimum* data transfer rates for writing. These are:
Class 2 - 2MB/s
Class 4 - 4MB/s
Class 6 - 6MB/s
Many cards exceed these speeds both reading and writing, and often by very large margins. For example, class 2 cards writing at 12MB/s etc (example http://www.davidgilson.co.uk/2008/12/follow-up-another-micro-sdhc-card/ )
It is also possible to buy class 2 cards that are actually faster than class 6 cards from other manufacturers.
The point is that when you buy a card, look for independent reviews that have actually measured the read/write speeds of the cards, and buy accordingly. Just looking at the class in isolation, only guarantees you a minimum level of performance.

So suddenly I got the new market and with it like thousand of updates.
Problem is now I'm constantly running on low phone space.
All apps left that can not be moved to the SD-Card are a must have.
So deleting them is not an option
Except the ones that I can not uninstall (like Google Books) guess because they came preinstalled.
I can't even install some new apps as they require more space then I obviously have.
What are my options?

From what I can tell, you do not need root to do this, just a working ADB connection. No additional on-phone software is required.

Given your parameters, only solution is to partition your SD card, create an ext-flavored filesystem on one of the partitions, and run one of the available software solutions (referenced in the links above) to permit saving of ALL apps and app data (and dalvik cache) on the SD card.
If you do that, cheers to you, but do some critical thinking and research before buying into the Class 10 hype. Most benchmarks have shown that the bottleneck in the N1 SD read/write speed is not the speed of the card, but rather the combination of software and hardware that handles SD card input and output. In fact, on some benchmarks, Class 4 cards perform as well as Class 6 and Class 10, and in some, Class 10 cards underperform Class 4 (which may have to do with the different standards applicable to Class 10 versus 2,4, and 6...the older cards had to meet a certain minimum read/write speed on a fragmented card for a single large file transfer; for Class 10 the specification is sequential writes on a defragmented SD card -- if you ask me both specifications are insufficient...how about a spec that tests sequential operations on a fragmented card?).
Or, alternately, consider removing some apps. Unless you are a developer, I can't see that you "need" to have more apps than the admittedly meager flash allocation can handle. You may want them, and want them very badly, but I've always found that a self-critical distinction between needs and wants makes me happiest in the long run, because it's easy to ignore wants. If this doesn't work for you, look above. Whatever floats your submarine, man.
I never had any problems with the sd-card performance.
Doesn't matter anyway as my problem is that there are 9gigs of free space on the card but I fear I will soon run into the problem of being unable to install any more apps (even to the card) as the phone space is too low.
This actually happens already now when updating apps.
Unfortunatly I did not manage to get the adb thing working yet so I can not test SocialVisors solution.
I'm unrooted as well, and have this problem as well. I'm hoping the nexus prime hits soon enough (and on tmo).
Otherwise, I'll look into rooting (which I'd rather do, if I'm going to modify, I'll go all in), I think one of the benefits is being able to uninstall unwanted stock apps and keep them off. So like the amazon mp3 store, for instance.
Okay so I now managed to get ADB working.
I could move some heavy apps like swype. I could not move "Astrid Tasks" as then the widget does not work anymore. Hopefully that is the only app.
I am now back at 30MB free space.
But still there are some hughe apps, like Google Maps(11MB), that can not be moved at all.
And yes, Google Maps is a must have!
Did you read the FAQ?
Did you read rallyemax's answer, and put attention to the first paragraph?

I alread said I run a stock rom (not froyo).
The only one who is complaining is you.
You can just ignore this thread if you don't like it.
But thanks to everyone so far.
In that case, it's simple: you can't do a thing.
Your 2 options are:
1) Run a custom kernel over your stock ROM, or a custom ROM, and install A2SD support. Need to root / unlock the bootloader / hack the bootloader, of course.
2) Do nothing and don't look for solutions that don't exist, just accept the fact that you're stuck with less internal storage that you wanted.
No third option.
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
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.
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.
Yes my I have an unlocked phone.
I'll check for your apps and compatibility. THanks guys for your input!
btw, can I use WP7 Update Cab Sender backup program to do the same thing?
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

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).
Why does it seem that with every iteration of Android, we have to revisit workarounds to get 3rd party apps the ability to read/write to external storage? What is the point of having up to 200GB of storage for only native apps to use? I'm not even talking about Adoptive Storage, which is an entirely other ridiculousness. A lot of the apps I use have been fortunately been updated to explicitly ask for permission from the OS, but is there a way to just tell Android to give it up to all apps? Particularly those apps that are slow/no to update?
-Thanks
P.S. I fully anticipate needing to revisit this nonsense with Android N
The big issue with adoptable storage and running apps from the SD card is speed. This is why Samsung and LG both left it out. If you use an SD card for adoptable storage the whole system will slow down. Then people complain of long startup times for apps. Not realizing that the issue isn't from Android or the phone but from the SD card. If you want to load apps to the SD card you can. But the trade off is slow load times for those apps.

Just speaking for myself, I bought the 64gig extreme and moved all apps that would let me including games. Now if I reboot it takes forever to load up everything. But once everything is loaded and it settles down, I only notice a extremely small lag. Barely noticeable. I think your card read/write has everything to do with it. My racing games play flawless.
Granted you know and can tell and you know you did it. Most wouldn't and then would complain of slow speeds. They would also throw a cheap card in there and then wonder why the phone was so slow. I can see why Manufacturers would not put that functionality in there. I work in IT and see these type of things all the time.
I can understand (and live with) the limitation for adoptable storage. However, I do not understand why 3rd party apps (most of them) cannot even write data to sd card while still installed in the internal memory? Be it editing/saving pictures, saving backups, etc. Some applications can workaround it by opening a dialog where you select the sd card and the app is granted a write access to the selected folder on the card. Bot most other apps cannot do that and then fail on writing data there (some of them fail even on reading)
Anyone knows why this stupid idea was implemented and how to work-around it?

Just bought a Huawei P10 Lite, was mainly looking for an Android 7.0 phone due to the newish Android feature of using an SD card to extend the internal memory and the P10 Lite seemed the most feature-rich phone at the price point.
To my horror there doesnt seem to be an option in the Memory & Storage options to configure the SD card as internal storage. I searched online but nothing about this phone and extending the internal storage which seems odd as I thought it was a popular phone. I noticed a post regarding the P8 where a user stated Huawei hadn't included this Android feature (seems bizarre) and they gave instructions on how to root the device and do something strange to it.
Surprised no one talking about it!
There's definitely an option to use the SD card as your main storage device in storage section as I used it before. What firmware is your on right now? It worked fine for me on my WAS-LX1AC185B172
If 32 gigabytes is not enough for you, then i don't know how much is enough. 128GB maybe?
Anyways, there is an option in "Memory & storage" called "Default location", which basically switches the internal storage for the SDcard. This is what you're looking for.
I think OP means adoptable storage - a feature introduced in Marshmallow. It merges your external and internal storage into one large pool. It, however, prevents the card from being portable. The card is formatted specifically to your device and I believe it'll cause problems with the device function if removed anyway.
I don't think Huawei supports it. I have only found the option to flip the default storage location. It may be available through some of the format options but I'm not too keen on risking it wiping my card if it doesn't give me a prompt if I was to test it.
It may be possible to force it through ADB commands. Not sure though.
Hi all yes specifically referring to adoptable storage.
I have set the SD card as "Default Storage" but in my experience it doesnt mean more than the system storing user data like photos and music on the SD card which is a no brainer really (why would a user even need to set this as an option?). Doesn't seem to be any info about what this actually does on this phone though. I can't even see an option to move Apps to the SD card on the P10 Lite but that was always a bizarre and tediously repetitive and half-hearted operation on my old Samsung S5, even if an App supported it, after an update it would just revert back to internal phone storage.
Many of my messaging apps have bloated databases that grow to over 1Gb in size after a couple of years let alone the bloatware of most apps in general. I notice that some messaging apps even keep media files inside the internal filesystem structure which ends up being the internal memory space. I would rather this was instead eating up cheap SD card space than the faster internal memory left for just the OS.
Considering that half of the phone storage is used up by the time you first turn it on, the adoptable storage funcationality introduced in Android Marshmallow is a gods send. Can't believe phone manufactures are trying to protect product placement with their 32GB and 64GB models to the extent of leaving out a flagship Android feature!
God data storage on Android is still a mess after all these years!

The SD card isn't as fast. That's one reason they don't want you to install apps onto it. It degrades the experience. And without an API of some sort it would be difficult to implement an app structure that split the data to place non-vital data on the card. Many devices don't have slots so it isn't an area developers give much thought.
If you use the format option, does it give you any option to select adoptable storage or is it just erase?
Otherwise I guess your best option is to try look for ADB commands or maybe even root.
Edit: I found an option to allow apps on external storage in developer settings if you scroll all the way to the bottom.
I used an SD card to store my Here we Go and Sygic maps when travelling.
Until I took a break from driving one day, connected an USB OTG cable with usb stick to the device and all my maps from the internal SD were gone.
From that day on I never install any data that is used by an app on the SD card. (and never had problems with it anymore)
Documents or music are no problem.
Spotify on P10 lite
Spotify in itself is using up most of my internal storage.
How can I move the songs from there to the SD card? If I can't then remind me never to buy a phone with less than 64GB internal memory next time.
The reviews all seemed too good to be true!!

OTA update just means the latest version/update for the phone. Check for system updates.
I can't guarantee what happens to your songs but I would assume that those are not stored locally if it's just a list (you did say you cleared some out to regain space). I would assume you'd be able to access the same list from any device as long as you are logged in. Otherwise that's pretty bad design considering their business model.
If you have very little space on your phone the system will start to get sluggish and if really low system functions will stop working.
Can you tell me the version number of the Spotify app? The reason I'm asking (besides making sure it's the same as the one I downloaded) is that I seem to recall Spotify cutting support for their old app and launching a new one to replace it.
But if you do have the new app, then either something's wrong with the compatibility of your phone/sd card/app or it's because you can't switch storage while data is stored (kinda like an initial setup) hence clearing app data could fix it.
If it's still not working I may have one last trick up my sleeve.

That's the same one I tested.
Try go into your app settings and make sure Spotify has the right permissions granted.
If it's still not working (also make sure you have plenty space on SD card) then clearing the data is probably the best solution. Apparently it deletes preferences and offline playlists (whatever that means). I'm not sure if it affects your playlists or if you can save them online so you can retrieve them later. Otherwise make a backup of: internal storage/Android/Data/com.spotify.music/ just in case.
Rebooting the phone can also sometimes help by the way.

If it's still not working (also make sure you have plenty space on SD card) then clearing the data is probably the best solution. Apparently it deletes preferences and offline playlists (whatever that means). I'm not sure if it affects your playlists or if you can save them online so you can retrieve them later. Otherwise make a backup of: internal storage/Android/Data/com.spotify.music/ just in case.
Rebooting the phone can also sometimes help by the way.

Thanks, what are the right permissions for Spotify in app settings?

Storage access I guess. I don't think there's explicitly an SD card permission (at least not to my knowledge).
I also wondered if you had tried formatting the SD card?
