So far, it has happened to two games, Candy Crush and Food Town. I had tons of power up saved on CC game which is not sync to FB data. I had TB so I was saved but I would had been really pissed otherwise if this happen to a game with sync function like JRPG
Anyone else with this issue?
Some apps/games don't work yet when moved. Example is Spotify it will ask you to log in each time you open the app.

That's probably a permission issue. Did you allow Spotify access to Sdcard?

I really regretted buying a 16gb phone. This whole Adaptive Storage has been a super buggy feature. Android OS+Google apps alone take up more than half the storage.

Most of google apps can be removed with root easily.
It's new feature so it will take some time for other devs to adapt to it

Hi!
Does anybody know what this battery update is. I got it as an update and to unlock the full features, I had to pay 3€per month!
I immediately unistalled this.
Is it spam? Virus!

What are you referring to? No link.
It sounds suspicious though.
It came like a system update and then it installed a battery app that monitored my battery behavior and wanted me to pay 3€ per month ;-)
This is the first time I see something like this on my android phones!?

Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
It is probably related to an app you have already installed. Go through any apps you aren't sure are from trusted sources/devs.
Thanks for the tip, I will check my apps. All my apps are from market place, its sad if we cannot trust the market?

Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
The sad thing is mate you can't trust the market. You have to be careful what your installing!
Always check what permissions needs the app you are downloading depends of the type you dl it should need the right permissions. So lets say you dl a game and it needs permission for your contacts and call services then it is up to you to dl it I would never. And as long the developers have no other way to get cash they implant ofc in their apps some advertises so be carefully all the time.
And market is like Facebook a no money platform that helps people to find things, but it moment check what it provides, it is on the user to report bad apps. So many people abuse that.

As a rule of thumb, I don't click on any links from any app, except the browser
I use a program that lets you assign permissions to any app. Anything that I install that I don't think needs to access contacts, location etc, I just block.
It has a side benefit of blocking the stupid ads in the apps also.
Try to use "LBE privacy guard" from the market its free!
NEED ROOT!
With this app u can control every app u installed give and take permissions!

Unfortunately you have been hit by a 'Scareware' attack.
As Android is becoming more popular and unlike Apple which has tighter control the Android OS is much more open to attacks such as this.
You really have to be on your guard watching for these malicious attacks.
Read the comments from PCWorld and 2Viruses for a greater explanation.
So with Google I/O finished and the new Play Store update. I'm wondering has anyone test the new App Data sync option that's under accounts? Is it just for games or all apps? I've tried it between my Nexus 7 and Droid X with no avail. No app data syncs.
Anyone have any more info for this feature or have got it to work?
I'm also very interested to know more about this. As a dev it would be a great new feature for some of my apps.
Can't find any info from Google about the subject.

At Google I/O a list of game developers who have implemented that feature was displayed. Apparently apps have to be updated to take advantage of the feature, it doesn't work for all apps. Also, it was mainly intended for the 'cloud saves' feature of Google Play Game Services, so it's mostly for games. I'm not sure if regular apps can use this feature to sync data, but that will be great if it is possible and developers start to use it.

If you watch the Google I/O 2013 keynote, you'll see the list on screen during the app data sync announcement. Yeah this feature would have been better if it was implemented by the system itself for all apps. Currently it only works if apps explicitly allow it.

Yep and this is one thing that keeps customers on Apple side. Not worrying about lossing your high score and level you at. Pick up where you left off when you buy a new device.

No problems, always happy to help. I tend to go back through once a month to remove the crap from there, stops it getting too ridiculous. I try out so many apps that it would be a pointless list otherwise. There is also a cool app called My Paid Apps which shows you all the stuff you've purchased, really handy seeing as Google removed this option. Link bellow:

I don't want my list full of crap apps I'll never use again. Nothing about speed of phone. I only want to see apps. I'll use again and find useful. Not every single app I've ever tried or installed.

But if like me your always trying out new apps the list guests ridiculous pretty fast and the vast majority of which I'll never want to use again.

have you tried DOING anything with your 128 card? some of the stock apps will play nice, but even deleting a picture will give you a "sorry KitKrap doesn't allow sd card access". when I finish a video and go to delete it "sorry KitKrap doesn't allow it", when I use Google Drive and move a doc over to another folder or file "sorry KitKrap; nope!".. I've always been extremely well organized, and I've put a lot of time into organizing my SD card with any files or folders I'll need or use for work, and KitKrap won't allow any of it.. it's actually the exact same thing as when the "LOCK" switch is switched when you plug a standard SD card into a computer, except you can never turn it off.

Actually i discovered that the stock photo browser app only hides images, doesn't delete them. It may just be me, but after taking a string of shots of my daughter and trying to delete all but one, the gallery app said they were deleted, but when i plugged my phone into my computer they were all on the sdcard. Curious if others have the same issue?

Mostly I have all my pictures saved to it. I also transfer movies and tv shows to it on a daily basis. (Download a tv show to my laptop and transfer it to sd card via usb) On average, I have about 5GBs of free space left on my card.
Only ran into an issue once. I tried to delete a folder (season 5 of the show"24") and it claims that the card was "Write Protected" So I went into the folder and deleted the episodes . Folder still remains but its empty. Other than that its been working fine.
BTW I'm using the SanDisk Ultra 128 GB micro SD

I noticed the stock apps dont refresh and also keep a massive cache. I moved a pic folder and it remained in the stock pic app as cache, including full sized images. when I moved my music folder it did the exact same thing.. there's no refresh option. I cleared data and cache from the app, but it must be using some other means to cache, because nothing is actually better afterwards.

Assuming Android team leaves the option intact for the public release. Notice still no sd slot on the Nexus devices in spite of card writes "apparently" being part of the framework now Never doubt Android's hatred for sd cards. Were it not for Apple buyers scarfing up almost all the flash supply allocations for the iPhone launch, the G1 would have had 2GB of flash and no sd slot.
We can truly thank Apple for why Android devices have sd slots in the first place. :victory:

You don't understand the issue. Kitkat took away the app's ability to write/delete any where on the SD card, it only allows full access to the app's own folder on the SD card. I.E. sandboxing it. Apps are still able to read the whole SD card though.

There is a possibility that all of you have already tried this but... I could do a backup of the apk and post it. Then download it and see whether they work with your variant or not. (i mean, it worth a try, right? Let me know.

Alright. I checked all the files on my pc using some tools to check for corruption and they pass the test. Which means that,,,, Your carriers are being b**chy. Perhaps the signatures of the apps are different, that's why it takes it as corrupted files. Then again, im barely starting to learn programming and all that, but i have been digging around on XDA since 2014 LOL. Anyway people, I WISH YOU THE BEST LUCK TO FIND THE WAY TO GET WHAT YOU WANT! :good:

By the way, have you noticed that no matter how you do the back up of the app, there is always a file with a format (systag)? that never happened to me with samsung galaxy s or notes devices. Then again, that file is only showing the apkpath as if it were presenting the file.
I believe the issue is happening because you can't sideload the apps, maybe placing them in system/app but for that we need root.
I may be wrong..
Ive tried several different ways. Even using an app to restore it.. Its a no go. Maybe because its a tmobile app and they use some kind of special security code that prevents other varients. But kbrn post above might be right... Might need to go in the system/ and require root...
same issue and im on att. kind of funny since this phone is marketed toward the audiophiles. play music does decently though
You'll probably have the same result, but here's 3 music APKs from my rooted T-Mobile V20.
If someone could get the gallery to work I imagine it's possible for the music app as well... I hope.
