No unresponsiveness. But screen went weird if incoming call during game play = yes.

Tested working since 5th Dec biggrin.gif :

if you use Terminal Emulator, must use "su"... with Platform SDK, no need root.

Do note however, this will only set the "preferred" install location to external sd card. It will affect app / game that does not have any particular preference on install location. Some app (ie: widget) can still chose to be installed to device memory, etc.

Also, it will not affect data files that a game must download. For example, you set the installLocation to 2, then, you download and install Eternal Legacy from Market. The APK (program) will be stored in external sd card. But when you start the game, it will required to download files from Internet. These files are not affected by the installLocation. In this case, it will be downloaded in a fixed /sdcard/gameloft .

already transfer to PC>format the sdcard at fon > transfer back to sdcard...

videos n mp3 can play at PC..

after reboot, it can play but after a while, it become unrecognizable by fon... when select it dia buat bodo jer... when long press also no menu appear like usual!...

already sent to samsung centre.... still same problem...

maybe need to RMA? icon_question.gif

What I mean is, you try play from the Device memory / USB Storage directly. Use "My files" to transfer the MP3 to /sdcard/media and try play from there?

I suspect problem with the SD Card...

Weird... All demo sets I played with has lots of widgets yet never lag. Most user here said it's smooth too. At least in UI. For games, refer C@CAMBO or COWITHGUN. I think they got tonnes of games, even the HD ones. W handle them quite well based on what I read in this forum so far. Wait for their clarification. laugh.gif

Yup, got a lot of HD games... all play smoothly.

For those experience lag in HD games (especially those 3d game like Shadowgun), try use "ChainFire3d" to reduce the texture size for better performance.

I just found a really really cumbersome 'manual' workaround......

Manually move whatever thing u installed in the internal SD card either under sdcard/Android/data folder
or sdcard/gameloft folder
to a folder in external sd

only move them back when u wanna run the game.....

as mentioned really really cumbersome and manual....."workaround"
without rooting.........i will soon root the damn thing......when i find time to do it....for the moment will just use this stupid and cumbersome method.....maybe can write an app as GameLoader or something which search for the files in the external sd card as well like a shell app that host the games executables......

If you have some programming skill, do consider patching the game yourself. Here is an example on how to patch Papago so that it read NaviSEA folder from external sd card instead of from the internal one (no root required):

Recommend DONT use this unlockroot! The originality of the code is unverifiable. Moreover, they 'steal' the exploit from CunningLogic without giving proper credit (read The Wall Of Shame):

first time android user here...wanna ask some questions?
1. i have download a software from the android market. after installing it and give if a few try, i decide to uninstall it.after uninstall it my usbstorage did not decrease at all..is there any method to clear the usbstorage??

2.if phone hang..can i just take off the battery and then put it and turn on?or is there any method if phone hang..

thanks

1. App are installed to "Device memory" by default. After uninstalled, you should see increase in available space in "Device memory".

If you have moved the App using "Move to SD", you should see increase in available space in External SD card.

You rarely see increase in USB storage when you uninstall app. It will only happen when that app uses getExternalStorageDirectory() API to store data in /sdcard/Android/data/app_package . For example, Galaxy On Fire 2 uses that.

2. Can long press power button to force shutdown. This has never fail me...

how to move app from phone mem to sd card?

No need root de. Go to "Setting", "Application", "Manage Application", select any app, "Move to SD". Repeat for other app.

1.yes, the device memory storage will increased if i uninstall the aps but the usbstorage device seem to be static. now my device is 700mb/1.7 gb. i only installed 4 aps on the device. should i use file manager to clear up the usbstorage?

2. if long press fail?i press about 5 min and still nothing happens...wat happen if i take out the battery?it will damage the phone ya?

my hp becoming more lag from the first day i bought. oledi use for 5 days. to turn the lock screen on and off take bout 3-4 sec. izit normal? or something is causing that lag??
*
1. 700mb is not little. should be enough for most use already. but since you only have 4 app installed, and it already took up your 1GB space, most likely you have gameloft game or GPS or App that store additional files in your USB drive. Use you file manager ("My files"), and check your /sdcard folder. That is the USB storage. You can long press any folder to get it's details, which including its size. Then, you will know what actually taking up most of the space. Becareful when deleting stuff in /sdcard .... some app / game may break. If you are not sure, you can list down folder you wish to delete, may be people in this forum can give some advise.

2. If long press after 30 seconds still no response, no need try already. Can remove battery, won't harm your phone, but you dont really have any other choice biggrin.gif

ps: unlock screen in 3 seconds is not normal... what 4 app you installed?

You dont need to include everything in NaviSEA, remove all other resolution, leave only 480x800, which is the resolution for yout SGW. the map is only 409MB in that case.
