its a voice reminder kind of notepad but no writing anymore
start the app and press remember so you can speak in a messege (like the phone number fom john is 062225856658555 ) press finish.
and now when do press search and you say john it searching for all the messages with the name john in it and plays the spoken message "phone number fom john is 062225856658555"
This was cool ...
I think I am going to use this one often...
One thing though... It's not touch!
It took me a while, tapping the screen!, until I figured that out ...
Works fine... but...
- no Touch sUpport...
but the worst of all: The Voice Message are saved on MAin storage - not internal... and there's nothing to change it - no menu, no registry entry possibility.
And even after deleting a voice message, the storage need remains... only after soft-reset a little bit more of the Data storage is given back...
20 message... or 30... and we run out of data with it...
Waiting for a new version - it's on the wishlist in the feedback - then it will be a cool app
Pierre
Is there any way to store the VOICE Message to Internal Storage?
install to internal storage?
if you install proram to internal storage ?
Does anybody know wheather the problem with internal storage ist fixed?
Because there was no effect by installing it in internal storage - it save the documents nearby the notes. And the option there to save them in internal storage had no effect 1 month before.

[Q] Manage Internal Storage

Well I have a quick question. After updating to the new JB build, I noticed that under the settings tab then storage, there is no longer then option to quickly transfer files from internal storage to SD card.
Does anyone know if there is another way to do this? Other than using a file manager, this feature will definitely be missed. I found it very useful to quickly move pictures,music, etc. without having to copy-paste in a file manager.
Or, does anyone know of an app that can mimic this?

Dyelon,
I read through the linked thread but what I was looking for was to move personal data (such as pictures, music, downloaded content from browser) from the phones internal memory to the SD card quickly, not so much as moving app to SD. In ICS under settings > memory there was the option to manage internal storage and move items quickly:
(http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=63946) Look towards the bottom of this page.
Seems like after the update to JB its no longer an option.
But on a related note, thanks for the info on apps to sd!

This has been bugging the heck out of me! Hoping someone knows something I don't. I love the manage internal storage feature in ICS
The Link2SD method posted didn't work for my Razr M after trying many different times.

[Q] Q: Save Camera Video/Pics to OTG USB as default

Howdy
I have an LG G2 and would like to take a picture/video with the camera and have it save to the otg usb instead of internal memory.
Tried google but not much joy. I would like to use the default camera app as it can do 4k video but a third party app will do for pics.
Any help appreciated.

it depends whether ur Camera app allows you to save pics to ANY location. I expect you are on stock hence it depends upon it ROM.
If the destination directory for captured images is still hardcoded in the Camera app in this manner, your options are pretty limited:
1. Hack the operating system so that Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory
returns the physical SD Card path (thereby redirecting other data to the card,
too) without breaking anything
2. Write a new camera app that gives you the option of where to save
3. Download a camera app from the Market that gives you the option of where to
save
Option 3 sounds a little easier.
after searching a bit I stumbled upon this u should consider asking your question here. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2298852
Hi
Thanks for the reply. I will investigate the os hack but I am struggling to find a camera app that allows custom save location and video recording, some offer picture custom save destination but not video.

Installed this. Is the intention to create a folder on the phone internal memory that is then mounted on the usb mounted memory? My head hurts abit. Lol
If set the default dcim folder to my otg usb memory will pics/video be saved there? I need to order an otg cable then.
Thanks for the advice.
CAMERAOTG may satisfy your request.

You may able to try this APP, The video will be saving to USB OTG directly , if you plug in
Sometimes you don't plug in OTG disk , the video will be saved in internal memory automatically.
from description , the first priority is USB OTG rather than Internal memory.
url : play.google.com/store/search?q=cameraotg
or search 'CAMERAOTG' from playstore.
I might be a bit late, but i managed to record directly to otg usb flash drive with Chainfire's "Stickmount" app and with Cinema FV-5. Stickmount creates a mount folder in the phones sdcard folder and in Cinema FV-5 you can set the destination folder to be the mounted usb folder. Sounds complicated but its really easy

SDcard and file downloads

Hey guys
Has anyone else noticed that if you use a utility that utilizes the save dialog that the SD card doesn't appear. Giving you the option to save files to your ad card? I have attached a screen shot. I am wondering if anyone has found a work around for this??

After some more tinkering it appears that the moto x does not show the SD card by default like other phones do. So to get this to show properly when presented with this type of dialog you need to bit the back button to back out. Then there should be an actions menu in the car upper right hand corner. From there press it and choose show SD card. Then the option will be available to select your SD card for file storage as it should have been by default. Not sure if this is a bug or what. But this is the work around i came up with.

May be a Lollipop thing. You can try downloading something like ES File Explorer and complete the download using that.

Hit the 3-dot menu in the top right and hit "Show SD Card".
Then pull the menu back out

How to set custom ringtones? (resolved)

Since moving from the Galaxy lineup to the V20 I've been unable to set custom ringtones for contacts. On Samsungs there was a built-in app that would handle user audio files & attach to the contact; as long as it was audio the format didn't really matter. So far I've found no such program on the LG. What says the community. Simple process that I'm just not familiar with? TIA.
Partial solution....
Copied all the tones from my external SD to the internal SD ringtones folder. Now they're accessible. Still odd that the system says that no application can handle this when I click the "+".

The only way I know is to go into each contact, select edit, and change the ring tone.
I did it in following steps.
Open the contact you want to set custom ringtone and click "Edit"
scroll down to the place Ringtone. Normally, the name of your default ringtone will be displayed there.
click on it and list of the ringtones available on your phone will be shown.
click on the (+) button on the top-right corner. Your music app will be opened. (if you have more then 1 music app, it will ask you to choose one.
select the audio file that is appeared in the list of the music app.
That's it. It works every time.

Probably TiBu then. I froze a bunch of stuff soon as I got root. Didn't know the "Music" app handled this. I have others that I prefer so it got iced.

probably. don't freeze the music app. Actually i preferred it a lot since currently it is the only app that can utilize the DAC 100%. The other apps sometimes pass over 48khz mark, but can't reach the output 128khz like the stock music app.
