[Q] Swapping the Internal and External memory cards - Galaxy S I9000 General

Greetings to fellows android users and contributers ,
I would like to seek advice on what is wrong with my phone while im playing some games for example : modern combat 2 HD
I managed to flash my galaxy SL from XXKB2-----> XXKB3 successfully without any problems and also swapped my internal and external memory to give the phone internal memory of 14.8GB in total .
Before I swapped the memory cards , I was playing modern combat 1 and it ran smoothly . but after I installed modern combat 2 , some scenes during the in-game gunfire would flicker like a spoiled TV .
Questions :
1) is it because of the extra large internal memory of 14GB CLASS 4?
2 ) is it because of some steps Im supposed to take before I play some high-end graphic games.
sorry if my questions sounded noobish.
thanks for any advice.

Even i face this problem.but even without swapping.

It happened with me recently after the swap of 32gb memory card to internal memory with Asphalt 6.
Just delete the data file required by game and re-copy.
Solved this in my case.
(i had backup of data files of asphalt 6 so i coped back to memory card again n deleted old)

I'm not sure about my answer but i think this is the problem..
External And Internal SD Cards have different Write and Read Speed.. Internal is faster because it is built in your device.. Because you swapped your internal and external the default for data storage therefore will be the external SD which has lower read and write capabilities compared to internal SD.. (This is just my opinion and i'm not sure weather it is correct or not.. If i'm wrong please correct me )

I tried recopying the game files back into my Pseudo-internal memory card ( aka : swapped external memory card )
FYI : My external is Kingston class 4 16 GB
I did it 3 times but the game still have this problem ( blurred spoiled scenes when enemies are shooting me ) , same happened with my other game .
I searched the site I downloaded a software : SD speed increase ( by Diego Stamigni ) but it didnt work ady.. I put the value on 2048kb. ( original was 128 kb )
Is there any other solutions? thanks for those who helped. appreciate it

Does running the game with power attached to phone help?
If it does, try installing setCPU from the market and setting it to Performance when you are playing the game.

Setcpu wont work........and playing while charging makes the fone smokin hot

-does it get smokin hot- is not the question - Does the issue still exist while power is attached?

Nope.. I tried playing it with the charger on but no use too.
can anyone propose a solution to this?

i've flashed gingerbread, and this mod works also in this version.

Aps Storage SDCARD or Internal

Afternoon all!
I just wanted to see what was best for our fascinates or Android in general... What is best to have the aps stored on internal phone memory or the SDCARD? I don't know if it actually makes a difference or not but wanted to check to see what the developers or users though as well.
Cheers!
I leave apps on internal memory because it seems to me that if the phone is having to pull it up from the sd card it will only slow it down... Just my $0.02

Internal.
I tend to run out of sd card memory faster.
I put mine on my SD card. Conversely, I have noticed that if my internal memory is bogged down w/ apps then my phone is slow and laggy. Of course, I have like 100 user apps.
Sent from a depraved XDA junkie and flashaholic
I'm trying half and half... the main ones I use are on internal and others have been moved to SD card.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Just started using the sd card for apps & so far so good. Haven't noticed any hit on performance. Anything that runs a widget should stay in internal memory though.
Sent from my OTB Comm.Rominate
I currently have all movable apps on my sd card. That would be a total of about 81 on sd and 41 on internal memory. My phone doesn't seem to have much lag at all.
My experience has been good with putting all apparel that I can on SD, just read the info in the market for the appear, some won't work right or at all even though they are movable.

Just a question: would moving frequently used apps to the card impact battery life in any way?

Impact? Yes. But you'd be hard pressed to measure it.
On the other hand, SDcards are going to generally be slower than the internal flash storage, even the high class ones. I don't see any reason to move any apps to the SD Card if you're not on the verge of running out of space.

+1 on this. I think you'd have to have like 600+ apps on your phone to use up all the internal memory space.
SO far I've only moved Plants vs Zombies to the SD card. Because that beast is 75mb.
I had all movable apps on the SD Card until I realized that I had tons of space left on my internal memory while I kept running out of space on the SD Card. I recommend leaving apps on internal memory.

Slow Camera file Saving in Galaxy S II

Hi
I recently compared my galaxy s2 with my friends galaxy s2
I noticed that the camera speed is slow in my phone, i.e when i take photo it takes around 2 seconds more to save the pic and come again for a new shot!
Can anyone please throw some light ... what should i do?
Mine is rooted phone and my friend's is stock phone!
Maybe you have anti shake on..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
No...
switching it off also does not help :-(
It needs to focus first before capturing.. Could you upload a video comparison?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
The internal memore seems to be a little quicker than my memory card, is it possible he is saving to internal memory and you are saving to sd card?
Also it could be your ROM maybe if you are on a custom rom?
i had the same problem, i used to save photos on the device
recently i bought SdCard with Class 10 speed and now i'm saving all my photos and videos on the card.
the speed is crazy! you should try this!
I am saving pics on Internal memory....
Right now i m using 2.3.3 android but with rooted kernel
Try updating to a 2.3.5 rom perhaps ? Mine works flawless, even back with stock 2.3.3
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Should i reinstall the Camera APK
Where can i find original camera.apk for galaxy s2
using a class 6 sdcard here, saving in less then 1 sec.
Guess What i Reset the camera settings and clicked... I saw some improvement
Is your internal SD card full? It might be the case that there is lot of data on internal SD hence it takes time to save a new file there.

Memory Problem

Hey everyone I got an atrix for Christmas and I've already run out of application memory. Is that possible? Also I only have 10 gb of internal storage I don't know where the rest of it went. I'll post a screenshot

Yes it is. You have a limited amount of storage for applications. On your phone you have 1.41 GB. Once that is used you have no more room to install apps. Now you also a limited amount for storage for things such as pictures, videos, documents, etc. On your phone it is 10.71 GB. I know what your saying; that is only 12.12 GB. Where is the rest of my 16 GB of internal storage? The other 3.88 GB is where the android OS is stored. It is like a computer. Your harddrive may be 250 GB, but you don't see the full 250 GB because some of the storage space it is hidden since the OS is stored on it.
I didn't think this was possible. How many apps do you have?
Thanks for all the quick response and I think I get it now thank you! And I have about 20-25 apps including shadowgun which is something like 250 MB
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
You are messing things:
There are several kinds of memory on your phone:
1. RAM partition- its 1GB, which actually you can use 815 MB.
2. ROM partition- Where the OS is stored. its something about 1-2GB.
3. Osh partition- a partition dedicated to the webtop. about 1GB.
4. Apps partition- Where the apps are installed. about 2 GB.
5. Internal storage partition- Where you store all kind of things, like a HDD in a computer. this memory you see when you connect your device to a computer. you have about 10.7 GB.
6. SD card- additional storage memory. external SD card to enhance your storage. its size depends on how generous you are.
Now, apps are being installed in No 4, and generally the heaviesr apps are something like 50 MB tops. to fill your apps memory you will have to install a whole lot of apps, surely more then 30 apps (for instance I have 140 apps installed, including some really heavy apps like shadowgun, MC3, IGO, World of goo and some other, and my apps memory has 1.14GB of free space).
The 250MB data of shadowgun is located generally in the storage memory,and this can run out on you, if you have a lot of music or movies, after all it has 10 GB which is quite a lot.
In your case it seems that you have plenty of memory avalable, both for apps and for general storage...
Hope it clarified something...
Edit:
Changed the word 'Memroy' to 'partition'.

I would avoid using the word memory in these cases, partition is more appropriate.

FPSE/G2/CM7 Problems

Does anyone else have this running on their G2? I'm sure there are people out there...
I thought that after putting on CM7 and overclocking to 1.2 or 1.4ghz I wouldnt have this sound stutter anymore. Lets just take one game for example, tony hawk pro skater. The music sounds like crap no matter what I do. All the FXs are fine, its just the music that sounds really really bad and the music is one of my favorite parts of the game since the n64 version the music is a garbage 20 second continuous loop.

Yup... couldn't agree more.
To the OP, make sure it's a class 4 or higher. Also, and this will help ALOT, might wanna add v6 supercharger script or ram manager. Ram Manager is easier to deal with so give it a try first. Good luck!
I got a kingston micro sd hc 32 gb class 4.
I heard sometimes the 32gb sds dont work fully properly... guessing this is one... should I downgrade to a class 10 16 gb?

I've got a sandisk 32gb class 4 and it works well. I'd have to say you're okay with sd card. You might wanna check out ram manager then or do some research and try out v6 supercharger script. Either of those help me with high games like Shadow Gun. Again, ram manager is the easiest to deal with but it costs money.

Help. Cwm asking 5 gb free space for backup.

Ok how can I do backup if it ask me for 4.75 gb free space ?

That's how big a Touchwiz back up with a lot of data is.
Use an external SD card to compensate for that.
Or switch to AOSP roms and your backups will be down to like 1-2 GB
The backup size depends mostly on what you have installed on your phone.
Having big games will make the backup bigger.
But touchwiz roms seem to be bigger by default. My touchwiz rom backup ( with no games) was 3.5 GB big.
Get an SD card, or one of those usb sticks that you can connect to your phone, and do the backup on the sd/usb.

Damn that too big. I don't even have big games. Only clash of clans and boom beach and other 2/3 games like less then 100 mb each.
I have SD card but it also have only 2/3 gb free only ?.

lol, says the person asking why a full rom backup is so big....pot meet kettle
Then free up some space on the SD card. Or use a software (I don't remeber the name right now) to make a backup on your PC.
