Hello,
as you know there is a folder into wp devices called "other".
In my Lumia 920 after I chacked the memory with storage checker
that idiot folder has about 6 Gb of data.
As I saw that can be cleaned only by hard reset but is not any other way
instead of this?
I like this phone and the system a lot but is restricted like hell.
Why those idiots didn't integrated a file manager into the software?
Thanks!

If u r running 1308 software, go to settings, and then storage check. From there u can clean bit of that Other folder. The outher solution, is to download Shrink Storage from the Market (free), and let it do its magic. U won't get rid of everything, but anything is always better than nothing at all.
I made the way with shrink but still is not what I want
Just for my knowledge: what is stored in that folder?
Is any planned update to fix this kind of "bugs"?
Thanks!
What version are you on? It is supposedly fixed in latest 1314

My phone has 1232.5957.1308.001 firmware version.
I bought it from germany.
There is no software update available atm for my product code.
I had in it an firmware from Orange UK but I encounter a many times the bug called "black screen of dead".
With this original one I never had any problems.
Other storage problem will be fixed in GDR2 update on august:

A new official LG India firmware has been launched, V10C. it's on android 2.2.1 and gets 31fps on neocore. So I guess it's the same as the V10E that people are describing.
The SD card still behaves weirdly, not sure about unmounting since I've not made any calls. Overall, the system has become noticeably slower. Would it be safe to roll back to V10B using the KDZ updater?

Yes, you are right. It's hard to even root the handset.

Try the optimus prime-v2, its fast and will meet your requirements. SD card problem is rare in it and the entire firmware sits on SD card, so you get a lot of free memory.
Not dev thread.
Moving to general.
Cheers
Ok I tested it out.. this firmware is quite horrible and it did not fix anything and the phone has become really slow in every way. I'm reverting to V10B for now, no choice. Hope all goes well.
I have strange problem after upgrading my p500 to v10c. it stopped notify me for any incoming calls. even vibration is not working in the silent mode. But the called number listed as missed call. pls somebody throw some light on this issue.
How to downgrade from v10c to v10b?
Sluggish and useless
Seemed like LG rushed this update. The device becomes too slow and sluggish. Upgraded and downgraded after 2 hours. Rooting through conventional means is broken.
Not upgrading. My P500 works fine at the moment with the older Firmware.
Any idea how to remove the crap apps they have pre-installed ?

Root and remove unneeded apk(s) and their corresponding odex files from /system/app using any root supported file browser like root explorer. Before doing this you might want to clear data. To cleanup left over odex files also remove from /data/dalvik-cache. You can cleanup this entire directory, but you would have to reboot for odex files to be re-created.

hi, I bought this phone two days back. I want to ask that if I follow your guide to remove some crap applications, and then if in future I do a factory reset, will it create any problem?

I couldn't figure out how to install that. The optimus prime post is not very clear about the steps.. it seems to be linking to other posts which aren't too clear themselves..
I am still on V10b, so do you guys strictly suggest not to upgrade to V10c?
Almost everything is fine for me with the current version, apart from one one strange problem..
The bulk SMS received do not get grouped properly. Bulk SMS 'from name' are usually in the format XX-XXXXX, now what happens is.. if the number of characters in the 'from name' of sms after '-' are same (whatever be the name), they are grouped together in the same thread.
This happens only with bulk sms which has name in above mentioned format, all other sms are grouped properly. Also, this happens in every sms application i have tried including the default one.
Hope i was able to explain it properly. Anyone else facing the same issue?

Hello.
I have XXJL2 December soft and my Movinand Android got Market Bug (i can't download apps). When I installed my port, Android Recovery was getting this messages:
http://i51.tinypic.com/2wnzk87.jpg
http://i55.tinypic.com/swv091.jpg
Maybe this bugs causes my Android Market bug?
Please reply what You guys think.
Cheers.
It always looked/looks like this, this is not the cause for Android Market bug. You have too less internal space, that's the problem.
I can't even download 1 app (~1mb) from market, so i dont think my problem is internal memory. Any other ideas?
Try to reinstall it?
First remove android with the recovery mode, then install it again?
How to open recovery mode?
BTW it's my second Android on this phone and nothing changes (both movinand).

You don't need to remove it before re-install.
The remove code is also in the mkext2images.sh file.
(First it removes data & cache files if android already exists, and recreates new ones)
I'm totaly pissed. I've update Android Market from 2.1.2 to 2.2.7 and problem is the same...
Did you try to delete google services framwork's datas in the settings / app menu ?
I had the same problem before doing that.

Jesus. If you're a newbie don't even dare to edit this script.
Rulistaff meant that the script will erase previous version, and then install the new one.
BTW. This file can be easily edited even by notepad, but please, don't mess with it as long as you're not absolutelly sure what you're doing.
Excellently, I wanna repair my Android Market and get solution for this problem (many others people have this issue).

i have read in the chinese forums that this version is supposed to be the one that can retain user data when upgrading from EMUI 2.3, however problems seem to exist after flashing (dark screen when camera is launched, the pull down notification menu stopping midway etc) and Huawei ended up suggesting wiping system / user data to solve them, kinda defeats the purpose. anyway, ymmv.
BTW, does anyone know how to get rid of the update prompt? It keeps nagging me to update.
In going from R001C233B021 to R002C208B009 on the 7D-501u with the OTA update, will it change the dpi from 320 to 400? If so, I'm not upgrading.

you can manually change at will the dpi after updating, by modifiyng buildprop if rooted. Or with adb commands if non rooted.
Check for (or open up yourself) a devoted DPI change thread of this forum, if you want to know more about it.
i was also pushed B009.
btw im from singapore using starhub and B008 chinese rom.

As far as I can tell from the other threads, changing the dpi to 320 breaks other stuff. Also some of my apps won't
work with root or with root cloak. There's no way I'm doing an upgrade that I know will break stuff rather than fix stuff, just for a slightly newer version of Android. My battery icon is already white anyway.

It Is same android version like 320 dpi kitkat!
I am in China but checking for updates tells me there is no update (I'm on 2.2). So perhaps this is still not the build intended for general release.
OK, it is now showing as available as an OTA today BUT trying to download it always ends in failure. Perhaps loads of other people are trying to download it at the same time....
Just download it from the EMUI page.
I waited for the OTA, hoping that it would not wipe the device (unlike the emui page download version?).
After taking 8 hours to download, it finally tells me it will wipe my personal data. What kind of stupid upgrade is this? No other brand of Android phone I have ever owned has wiped data on upgrading from one version to another. Very disappointing. Huawei, you must do better than this if you expect people to buy your phones more than once.
It did not wipe mine.
I just installed it, and wished I hadn't. ALL paid for apps were wiped. Other apps were also deleted. I can no longer connect to Google services (Play store, Gmail, etc). What a pile of rubbish. An OTA update shouldn't do this kind of thing. This is my first, and last, Huawei phone. Nice hardware, shame about the software.
Phone: GT i9300 (aka international Galaxy S3)
Storage: 16GB
Firmware: I9300XXUGNA8 (4.3)
Rooted: Yes
Recovery: ClockWorkMod
Bought: Abought September 2012
My Problem:
When i left the house this morning everything was working properly with my phone but when i took it out of my pocket at work
i had to see that the phone had done a factory reset all by itself and the google playstore , playservices and all other gapps
are missing. Also apps that would come with the firmware are no existant.
I did a bit of reaserch and found that this could be related to an insane chip problem where some chip, related to the memory is in
a bad state since production. It was stated that some phones died to sudden death in just a few weeks but also this
problem was fixed by samsung with android 4.1.2 onwards.
I also used a app called eMMC Check to see if my memory is defect, but it did a memory test and said it was ok, but also stated that i have
this insane chip.
Further i had a problem with apps suddenly deleting themselfs/simply disappering once or twice in the last one or two month.
This could de fixed by deleting the contents of the app folder (where its installed) and renaming it. Afterwards you could reinstall the app
through the playstore. Beforehand the app would still be shown as installed in playstore, when accessing through a browser. and also
is ore are all the apps i had on my phone before it resetted it today. But i cant find them in any directory i can access on my phone
or through adb.
I don't know if or how this could be related but I'm assuming it is.
Something to mention would be that the phone shows under storage-information that about 12GB out of 16GB are
which would aproimately be the data i had on my phone before. But as mentioned i cant't find it anywhere though dile explorer or
adb.
Also it shows about 8.2 GB of other data beeing on my phone but when i click on it it shows only a few megabyte of data.
As if some Data is hidden/occupying storage but not accesible for the OS.
I want to know if there is any possibility to rescue any data or if its lost or
if anyone had a similar problem before.
I hope you can understand what my problem is and that i have provided enough detail for you.
If anything comes to my mind or you have a question i will update the post/you can simply ask.
Please keep in mind that english isn't my main/first language.
Thanks in advance.

Sadly this doesn't really fit my problem. The only folder i had in data/media was clockworkmod.
I moved it into /0 and restarted my phone but nothing has changed.
I'm thinking that the data that is occupying my sd card is out of range of the operating system .. could that potentially be ?

I'm 100% sure i'm in the right direction (/data/media/) and there only seeing the thre folder (0, legacy, obb).
I found under data/clipboard some old clips (pictures).
And i possibly found the issue..
I have a lost+found folder which is 8.14 GB big .. I don't know to much about lost and found.
just that files end there when the os doesn't know what to do with them.
So any chance for recovering data ?
I think everyfolder has # and a number so i think i have to look in all of them to find out whats left of my data.
I did post this in the forum specific to my device, but I though I'd look for help elsewhere too, since the question is more basic to Android, and not really just my phone.
I recently rooted my LG G Pro 2 smartphone, did some stuff and everything was great. I was using CCleaner to remove some unneeded apps, but apparently, I removed the basic "phone" system app that allows the phone's cellular modem to work and make phone calls and texts (I'm thinking of it like a Windows driver, rather than a Windows software app). The unit works fine (WiFi, internet, and such), but I cannot make phone calls or texts, and I have NO bars (reception) at all.
So, here's the question: Can just adding in that system app back into the OS be done, or am I screwed?
I read two ideas...
One was to try and find a "phone.apk" and add it back to the data folder. But then I was unsure if "phone"apk" files are the same on all android phones or if each manufacturer has unique phone apk for each device.
The other idea I heard was to do a full restore, which would be OK, but then someone else suggested that if I deleted the phone apk, that I might have also screwed up the possibility of restoring the phone.
Finally, I used an undelete software after this incident, and the undeleter found a lot of apks and zip files, and I recovered those to a storage file on the SD card for now. But the problem there is that the files all just have number for names (for example, like "recovered_file_342579.apk or .zip). I have no idea if any of these are the phone file I deleted. I feel like I should be able to identify these files somehow, and just re-insert the phone file back to where it was.
What do you guys think?
Reflash your rom. Or flash a new one. Restore will not work. Trying to drop in a dialer apk will probably be a big headache you don't want to deal with.

Part of the problem I'm running into now is that I can't find ROM for this phone. I googled, and a couple websites listed stock ROM, but then the links don't work. Device-specific forum here on XDA doesn't list any actual ROMs, either. This phone was in the upper eschelon of LG's line couple years ago, and is still pretty good by today's standards. I find it hard to believe I cannot find some kind of working ROM for this thing.
Is using a D838 ROM (or whatever the equivalent American model is called) OK to use on a South Korean model that I have (F350S)?
I'd still like to know if I can just re-install whatever phone file I erased and get phone function back again.
