Have tried numerous searches for this in the whole forum, couldn't find anything...
as many of you will know, the Touch has a lack of RAM, and when i'm adding / removing programs all the time (and with storage being needed for eveything from ActiveSync to creating MMS) i am constantly running very low on storage.
the problem is, when this is the case the very annoying System Storage Low notifications keep popping up, every few seconds and it is impossible to get anything done without constantly having to hit OK on the popup windows. very, very annoying.
is there any way to either disable this (i always monitor how much storage i have remaining anyway) or to change the settings to stop the popups from annoying me so bloody frequently?
thanks for any help available.
I'm guessing this is one that not many people are having an issue with...?
I downloaded the audio resources files for the cyan ROM and installed it on my sd card. I reebooted and the ringtones all show up no problem. Later I mounted my sd card to my computer, during this time the phone cant read the card and the ringtones on it. The phone reverted to an internal defalt tone, and never reverted back. I tried puting the files on the ext partition of my sd card used for programs, the phone wont even see them there at all. With my apps on the sd card, I have plenty of room in my internal memory. I would like to install/move the files to internal memory in the media folder. Astro file manager can not do it. Lso while typeing this out, i noticed my right side shift and alt keys do not work, the cursor changes to indicate I pressed it but it will not caps or input symbols, just the normal character.

I haven't had this problem, I'm at a loss. As for as file transfer I use AndExplorer, and have even tranfered sys. apps. Hope this helps.
I will try that program. I have the keyboard issue only sometimes. Twice so far, right now it is fine. Oops spoke to soon. It seems touch input is interfering, takeing over the physical keyboard settings. It started makeing the clicks when I press the bottons, i have that as a setting for the htc keyboard, and the shift keys stopped working and auto correct stopped also. Seems the htc keyboard was never ment to be used on a device with a physical keyboard, might need a bit of tweeking. It is so much more accurate than the standard keyboard though, I would hate to lose it.
I can not find andexplorer in the market is it on the net, download and install from browser?
ur phone cant access the sdcard while its mounted..
That's the point, after I unmount the sd card, I must manually fix my ringtones to my prefered settings. When it can't read the card it reverts to some default ringtone hardwired into the system, that you can't even find in the files list. When that happens, it will not switch back to my settings. I could assign a ringtone to my contacts individually and those would work when the card was readable again, but you can't assign sms tones. And also, anyone that calls not in my contacts would use the default ring, problem is, I can't hear the phone because the sound is on the quiet side.
I found and tried andexplorer but no go, maybe I need to install it with higher permisions.
And as for the keyboard issue, it comes and goes. Sometimes it uses the normal physical keyboard settings and other times it uses the htc keyboard settings. It usually happens when I scroll the browser and need to select the text input area again, switch from normal to landscape veiw when in a text field, or if I use the trackball to move the cursor but move it to far and it starts selecting links outside of the text box. While typing this out, I started in htc settings mode while using the keyboard, little suggested words popup and all, Then it switched to normal physical keyboard settings. And now I'm back to HTC settings... click click click lol
new bug
I started having issues with the screen/phone going into sleep mode while I'm actively using the phone. Typing scrolling, It doesn't matter, it will shut off the screen and go into lock mode.
Happened to me not that long ago... a wipe fixed that one right up... just backup everything using backup for root users and do a wipe.
Yeah I reflashed and it stopped. Learned that the Steel browser goes crazy after a little while when using. The screen stops working properly taping in wrong spot and then jittering and acting crazy.
Has anyone successfully managed to move the Inbox to the Storage Card yet?
The usual registry hacks that have worked on several previous devices don't seem to be working on the HD2.
It is quite happy to let me move attachments to the Storage Card through Inbox-Options but as soon as I hack the registry to set 'PropertyPath' to move the Inbox and reboot, I end up with a folder in main memory called 'Storage Card' and the actual Storage Card renamed 'Storage Card2'.
If memory serves, this can happen where the card is slow to be mounted, but I'm puzzled why it will happily send attachments to the card and then throw a hissy fit when I ask it to do the same with mail.
Was the issue of the speed of mounting the card ever solved anywhere else? Can't find it if it was!
Any help gratefully received.
Bump...
Has anyone tried moving their Inbox to the Storage Card? Someone must have, surely?
A simple yes it works/no it doesn't would be very helpful - at least I'd know whether it was worth trying to find a solution
Thanks in anticipation
Still keen to know whether anyone has successfully managed to move their mail store to the Storage Card.
Also, has anyone managed to turn off autolock? I don't want to have to enter a pin every time my device wakes. I have tried tweaks and reg hacks and neither seems to give me the behaviour I want/expect
I appreciate that there are differences between Manila and Sense, but surely the underlying registry entries can't be that different? Many of the expected keys exist but they are just ignored by the device - odd.
Or is it just me...?
unfortunately you are right.
I experience the same issues in trying to redirect pictures I shoot to storage card\My Documents\My Pictures.
Like you say there appear to be some differences here and there.
I'm looking but I hope somebody with some more knowledge finds it fast

Hi Gustopher, how and where did you do that? I am unable to find where to tell the HD2 to put attachments on the Storage Card even after days of searching for it, resulting in less and less storage on the device, even when all mail and messages have been removed.
Thanks in advance.
Crazy...
Edit : O.k. just found it . . . . . . duh, what a good night rest can do for ya.
Another week's worth of XDA brains on this since first posting, so worth a revist:
Has anyone managed to get their mail onto the storage card?
The few who have responded so far seem to see the same issues as I did, but is this the case across the board?
If there is indeed a problem, does anyone have any bright ideas how we can fix this?
(Or is everyone too busy saying how much they love/hate the HD2 and how they are going to shag it/return it??)
Hi
Given the small amount of storage memory this is an important issue. I haven't tried it but was going to use Sktools to do it. Will try later. Hope it an be resolved.
Paul
I am pretty sure you won't get any joy through SKTools - I have already responded to someone else who'd tried it and wondered why they had a renamed Storage Card.
I just had a go through Memmaid - I was also looking at the possibility of changing some startup items to give the card a chance to load - but wound up having to hard reset.
It's a bugger, to be sure. I am increasingly convinced that the card is slow to load, but what to do about it...?
I would also like some assistance in getting this resolved. Has anyone been successful here??

Find the Email icon in the main start menu (or it may be in a subfolder depending on your rom). Open it and the 'select an account' screen will open. Hit MENU, OPTIONS, go across to the STORAGE tab and tick the box that says 'When available, use the storage card to store attachments.'
After a loading icon all attachments existing and in the future will be stored on the card. You will notice an increase in available memory on the device immediately.
I assume this is what you meant, if not I don't know the solution!
i have an idea to a solution

This isn't the preferred method because it creates a folder with an encrypted name. Also, it does not move the mail, just the attachments. But, it's better than nothing.
Generally, I want to save the mail and attachment in my desired path on the SD card.
As the OP stated, all the old methods don't work.
I addressed this problem in this thread, due to the order the hardware starts up after a reset i doubt you will find a solution to this problem without rewriting the email software not to start untill the SDcard has been powered/detected
It seems as if there's some code in the SMS-receiving app that says 'if the phone is reporting low memory, fire a 'warning' notification and completely forget the message I just got sent'. We do not get to see who sent the message, and the sender is not sent a 'message failed' response.
As we know the phone reports 'low memory' a bit cautiously, you could actually have 10mb spare - plenty for an SMS. It's possible for the phone to reach a 'low memory' status whilst in your pocket, so the user doesn't know he's going to miss txts until one comes in.
Could really do with a mod to do something about this - still show the warning but accept the text as normal rather than dropping it?
This would go wrong if there actually isn't enough space to store the message (<1k?), but if the warning fires on every text then at least the user has had a chance to do something about it.

Can the Nexus One actually run out of memory to receive a mere SMS? :/ Has this ever happened to you before or is this just a hypothetical question/request?
I don't think he would talk so specifically about it in detail if he was just making it up. I've lost an sms before too.
I was under the warning limit, but between 10mb and 20mb free, and my phone decided to tell me there wasn't enough room on the phone when an sms came in and that's that. No indication as to whom it was from, and definitely no way to get it again.
Yeap, it definitely does this. I've had it happen a few times and very annoying it is too. The message never gets received but shows as delivered at the other end.
Yes it has happened to me several times since having the N1, and just a few days ago on 2.2. Sometimes it's been 'my fault' because I've ignored the 'low on memory' notification, sometimes it's been the first I've heard of it - by then it's too late.
Either way, just dropping the message like that is not good :-/
Oh, and no, I don't think I've ever *actually* run out of memory, I've seen that 'low memory' warning appear but still have just under 10mb free.
So I think the SMS-receiving-code is being overly cautious/strict.
+1 for some workaround for this situation, when I went from cyan ext3 to froyo stock and trying fit everything on I did lose a few texts, which I had no idea where they were from.
what is the low memory warning? Can this phone actually run out of memory?

Low internal storage space. The SMS's are not saved in ram you know? Install too many applications and you run out of internal storage space.
So can we clarify if this is low MEMORY or low STORAGE being as the two are completely different?
I've had missing messages so this may explain it?
It is when you have low STORAGE. Internal storage to be precise. Would be nice if you could have SMS going to mem-card. But yes, I have had the same issue in the past. And there is no way to retrieve the 'delivered' message that I know of. Very annoying.
Yes, low storage.
Install a load of stuff... Google Earth and Fennec beta should do it, and you'll get the warning. But it's a bit over-sensitive, you could still have 10mb or so left.
There's an issue for this on the official tracker:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4991
doesn't look like it'll be looked at in a hurry though as there's not very many stars... so I hope a mod might be possible until G gets around to it?
(if you want to register your interest in the issue just star it, no need to comment with a 'me too' unless you're adding some info)
Edit: please keep 'store messages on SD card' to another thread... that is a big job, and it's not like we would actually have problems storing one 250-character message when we've got 10mb of space. The fix is for it to ignore that warning.
IDEA, install a program that when internal mem is detected as below the threshold where the system will rej, and overwride the default messaging and take hold of the message itself (and presumably SD it)
a very irratating bug indeed.. i have missed countless sms cause i have tonz of apps installed on an unrooted fone; leading to low internal storage RAM and thus getting this error... FROYO isnt much of a help with the option to put apps to SD since the apps have to integrate that feature and 95% of apps currently in the marked dont have that feature YET.. even GOOGLE Earth (25mb <- WAAA so big!!!) ..
I've added a comment to the bug. I would suggest everyone else does if you want this bug fixed officially, otherwise talk nicely to a dev on this forum

No, don't add a COMMENT, just add a STAR. 'Me too' comments get emailed to everyone and are annoying. STARs register interest. Thanks!
So is it possible to fix this with a mod? Is it even in the SMS app or is it some other code that handles receiving the message?
try this post for altering your low space threshold:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877793
I have had this happen to me too.
The most infuriating part of the matter is that the phone rejects the message, but the message is GONE forever. You have no idea who sent it, and they have no idea you never got the message. On top of that, there is still nearly 20mb of space left. WTF the phone needs to reject a 1kb sms when there is 20mb of space left completely blows my mind.
It is a terrible glitch and one of the few things I severely dislike about android.
One option could be an app for when the phone hits low storage, to put the phone in air plane mode?
This would prevent ANY sms from being rejected until you delete space, and take the phone out of air plane mode.
Once you get up to the limit on apps no matter where the low storage limit is set you always run the risk of running into it. It would be better to simply put all the data on sd, there would be no performance hit and the problem is permafixed. As an added advantage all your texts are backed up locally and with just a little more coding could be set up to be restored as needed when the app was reinstalled on the same or new device.

It is not that simple. AFAIK sms/mms are stored in the sqlite database. Which needs some maneuver space to operate normally. In fact, android SQLiteOpenHelper under certain threshold will open the database only in the readonly mode. Which seems to be happening here.
The pragmatic solution would be to "tweak" the free space display and show the real size minus some 30mb "reserve". So, the user would see "0 bytes left" and would not complain. Better still - stop receiving messages and signal "memory full" to the Short Message Service Center. Adding nagging notifications to the user. Seems like unfinished work by google.

The SD way would be a straight road to hell, since all the data can "disappear" from under your arse at any random moment.
It's enough just to plug-in the USB cable or simply pop-out the card (easily doable on many models).
Even worse: someone can easily delete anything on the card since it is a stupid FAT32 with no permissions whatsoever. O just insert different SD card from the different phone. It is far from trivial to define what should the apps do in this case.
OK to start things off this is going to be a long list of questions/issues and various impressions, some opinionated and some fact. I've had apple phones for years and appreciate both, I changed because my iphone couldn't do some things my note 3 can do such as open up 200+ MB pdfs with relative ease, but then again the samsung struggles to do simple things the iphone did fresh out of the box. This is not meant to be a discussion of which is better but it would help to know what I'm comparing it to and how I think simple things should work. I use a PC just FYI.
1.) Data Transfer of large files from various desktops to the Note 3 either through internal memory or external sd card.
My first issue is that I cannot move large files from my internal memory to my sd card. The sd card in question is a sandisk 128gb but have also tried to few others just to make sure it's not the card. If I download a large file on utorrent such as a 720p movie or better, I cannot move it from internal memory to sd card. I just won't do it. Not only will it refuse to move large files but any photos are sometime hit and miss, sometimes it moves them with no issue at all, most of the time the files stay in the parent folder and don't end up in the destination folder. I can move various files if I connect it to my desktop and drag and drop them onto the sd card but sometimes moving the file corrupts it where it cannot be played on the phone. I've also tried this with numerous computers with the same result. to move files on the phone i go to my files, select the directory and then select the file I want to move. I hold down on it to select it and then press move, it then shows the internal and external storage options, i select the sd card and the folder I want the file in and then press move here in the top right hand corner. If there is another way let me know.
Second issue is when dragging and dropping large music files directly to the sd card or internal memory from a pc. If a drag and drop a FLAC album it corrupts it about 50% of the time. I routinely go to play the album and get the message that it does not support the file type or something to that affect. I often just delete it and redo the process, most of the time that works. On MP3's, if I drag and drop an entire discography of an artist (say 8gb or so) it's corrupted 100% of the time. When I go to playback the albums they play at double speed. I have to go back and drop them one by one and sometimes (but rarely) that has the same issue.
2.) Audio Playback/Microphone/Headphone/Bluetooth Issues
Firstly, I thought that all 3.5mm headphone jacks were on a standard. I did not realize that the note did not come with headphones and that the headphones that I used with an apple device would not fully function on an android device. This seems like something so simple it shouldn't even be an issue. All of the headphones, earbuds, etc I have that have inline controls do not adjust the volume or skip tracks on my android device. You name it, like a half dozen brands. It just doesn't work...
When trying to use talk to text for a text message either with headphones with inline mic or with a Bluetooth headset it does not use the microphone on the accessory device, it uses the internal phone mic which is an issue for me. So instead of using the mic right next to my mouth I have to hold the phone up to my mouth in loud places. I don't know any way to change this...I couldn't find it in any settings.
3.) Lockscreen (I don't know how this is supposed to work, I looked it up and I'm assuming its something I'm doing.)
I want my lockscreen to be simple but I cannot seem to get the weather off of my lockscreen. It does not appear unless I swipe down and there it is. How do I remove it? If I open up the lockscreen editor by swiping from left to right its not there. I only have one lockscreen page so I don't know whats going on.
When I have notifications on my lock screen and click on them it puts a box around the lower part of my lock screen where you normally swipe as to say swipe here stupid to unlock. Is that the case or am I missing something else? It seems as though if my phone doesn't have a security lock on it and I press on my notification it should just open it. Or is it intentionally non-intuitive for some other reason?
4.) GLITCHES!!!!!!!! Various other issues
Routinely my music apps gets stuck on a page. Say if I'm listening to an album and try to back it up to my list of albums it just loads the same page over and over again. I have to hit my homebutton and open up the music app again from the icon and sometimes that causes it to crash. It does this on the stock Samsung music player and on play music. Normally my phone plays music 24/7 so it may be just how much I use it for that purpose.
Apps crash on a regular basis, at least a few times a day. I'd say I have an app crash maybe 3-5 times a day on average. Some more than others. Because of all the glitches I did a factory reset weeks ago to see if there was another issue. I've also tried uninstalling and re-installing all the apps that normally crash but that hasn't seemed to help. I don't believe apps used by millions on other android devices such as Bank of America (crashes literally every time I use it) or Pandora could be the problem.
Google integration is sketchy at best, It routinely doesn't delete e-mails off the google server when I delete them off my phone. It's really hit and miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it will load the same e-mails dozens of times even though I've deleted it daily. The google+ photo backup is hit and miss and even updates over cellular even though its set to only update over wifi when plugged in. All of the sync settings seem appropriate for what I want it just doesn't work.
Text scaling under most situations is completely absurd. I've got 5.7" of screen and have to re-scale practically everything that loads so I can read it. This is especially and issue when reading forums which I'm on frequently. Is there a way to change this? If there isn't there definitely should be! Not a glitch but an issue.
All social media apps that load from a page (a wall, forum, feed, whetever) always reload when I click on something and go back forcing me to start over from the beginning. I've only had this issue on this phone, my previous iphones just take me back to where I was. Is there a way to change this annoying problem?
5.) The Photo Gallery
It just doesn't work. I don't know any other way to put it, its the second biggest failure on the phone. i wouldn't trust it with important anything! It routinely just looses photos, online account's don't update at all, s health photo that I've deleted dozens of times keeps showing up in my photos, all my album covers end up in my gallery and I have to manually go back and delete them all, photos end up corrupted and not able to view them whether on sd card or on phone, it goes on and on. Is there another application I can use? Can I make another app my default gallery app? Some online photos like picassa/google+ don't load correctly, it'll show the preview photo and when clicked on it'll show a completely different photo from that album. I would just delete it but can't delete online account photos from my phone gallery app and when I delete them online it doesn't update it on my gallery.
6.) Voicemail
I recieved a voicemail the first 10 minutes I had my phone and clicked on it in my notifications and it called my voicemail. I was confused at first, was i holding a 700 dollar phone or 90's Nokia? Seriously? And on top of that it didn't come with ATT visual voicemail out of the box, I had to download it. WTF! No I don't need voicemail on a phone I need 20 other google apps instead...seriously? On top of that att visual voicemail app is crap. I routinely miss voicemails because it not reliable enough to show all my voicemails in my notifications. Is that how all android devices are? I may be a little spoiled by the voicemail being on a tab in my phone app but it seems as though if there is an att specific model this should work better than it does...
7.) Text messaging
I don't use the stock mesaging app because it wouldn't reliably send a photo...that is all. I use textra now and it works better but still isn't what I would consider to be reliable...
8.) General Gripes about the phone app
The buttons are so large it looks like its designed for the seeing impaired.
Color scheme looks like I'm 4 and trying to push blocks into the appropriate holes...
I can't figure out how to change the color scheme on it, can you change it?
I hate the cartoonish figures for people that don't have photos.
Okay, it generally looks childish or like it was designed by Mattel. I need something far more professional looking.
On a positive note, speech and handwriting recognition is second to none, S Pen apps and S pen integration in general is very refined. It's extremely fast with very little lag in all situations. There are lots of positives so I'm not downing the phone at all but it just needs to fit my needs better. That's not everything but a good start. Thanks for your time and patience.
And to sum it all up, I think you should go back to i... :sly:

First - ur post is too big to even read.
You are in xda and there is ton of information here. If you search , u will realize that most of the issues have solution...
When moving from another OS its always difficult but stay and you will love it.
Let me rephrase, it's not an android problem that I'm aware of: is my phone ****ed up and in need of replacement our does every note 900a cnc2 do this stupid ****?
The new os doesn't seem to be an issue this is mainly a hardware issue unless you're saying all android phones corrupt photos straight out the box. Which I know that isn't the case.
Some of my gripes are android related but mostly sounds like a hardware issue.
Try moving the large file using "my files", 3rd party file manager cannot move file from internal to external sd (a limitation introduced in kitkat).
Also try copying your music collection using card reader.

I've only tried my files to move it on the phone, it will not move them.
I basically have to use a card reader to copy anything over a gig or so reliably. I can drag and drop it but that doesn't always work.

Really, and you did that just fine on the iPhone? :silly: That would be quite a full miracle given how (as far as I know) the iPhone never had a SD card :silly:
Read around - if you are on 4.4 there are some new security restrictions on writing to the external SD. If you are on 4.3 you are probably doing something wrong.

Of course I didn't, I.used third party software to drag and drop mp3's on internal storage of a jailbroken device. It worked 100% of the time.
But you're still missing the point. My files are being corrupted whether on the external sd card or the internal storage. There aren't any examples off this on my model phone on your forum...
As far as I know my files isn't a third party so it should have full access to read and write to my sd card per 4.4
That does explain why u torrent won't do it though.
Did u use your iTunes mp3 files? My girlfriend is also into that icrap and when she used my computer for music files I learned that you don't wanna use iTunes. Don't take this as a apple...uhm... disliker read about it if u don't believe it. Itunes messes with the music files and therefor I had to do my whole music storage from the scratch.
I think what @Dejan Sathanas was trying to say was: that if you are not ready to switch u will find strange issues that nobody else encounters and end up spamming the threats. For example: I haven't had any issue moving any files ever on any android device!
So long story short
1. Get the device u prefer (even if it is an apple)
2. Try some music files that didn't run through apple tech

Did u use your iTunes mp3 files? My girlfriend is also into that icrap and when she used my computer for music files I learned that you don't wanna use iTunes. Don't take this as a apple...uhm... disliker read about it if u don't believe it. Itunes messes with the music files and therefor I had to do my whole music storage from the scratch.
I think what @Dejan Sathanas was trying to say was: that if you are not ready to switch u will find strange issues that nobody else encounters and end up spamming the threats. For example: I haven't had any issue moving any files ever on any android device!
So long story short
1. Get the device u prefer (even if it is an apple)
2. Try some music files that didn't run through apple tech

I didn't use the ALAC files from my Apple device. I was under the impression they wouldn't play on here, just used mp3s and flacs. I tried to upload a pic of what the corrupt files look like on my phone but got an error that said could not complete this operation due to low memory. I'll figure it out when I get off work and upload them.
Took it to best buy\ATT, they sent me to the Samsung rep/dealer in store. He couldn't figure out what was going on, why it wouldn't move files, why some would corrupt, update Google anything, etc so they are sending me a new one.
