Just upgraded to the latest patch. However I don't really know how to use the multiuser function.
1. For the new user it seems it requires me to download the same app that's installed in the user account. So it takes twice the memory to store it?
2. I'm trying to figure out the external storage place for the new user account. I just don't have the access to the external storage folder from the new user account on es file manager.
Anyone have any idea on this?
Many thanks.
It doesn't download the whole app, think it just pits an icon on the other users app drawer.
Try this -
Download a large game 100+ mb to first user account, it'll take a while because it's 100mb, once it installed, go to 2nd user, and go to market and download same game, installs in seconds!

I would also like to know, how i can access an external memory stick on a secondary User Account.
Is there a patch out or something else for that?

So before you ask to search, which I have done but cannot come up with anything conclusive. This is perhaps the funky cool openness of Android that there are many solutions out there. If you could please share some of your opinions or experiences, it would be greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to the SGS II quite soon.
1) iTunes.... As the iPhone utilizes iTunes for the syncing of Apps, Music, Photos, Books and so on, my question is that what is a solution for Android Devices (SGS II) with Apps? Is there a method of backing up the APK files or apps to the computer that can be used at a later time (ADB is one but would like GUI). iTunes backs up download IPA files from phone to PC, and you can select to install them at any given time. iTunes also updates the purchased IPA's without the need of a handset being available.
I ask this question to limit the need to download each app every time I update a firmware. (Bandwidth in India isnt the best and can take time getting a 200MB Game)
2) DoubleTwist seems like a good solution, but does it sync with the stock Music app or requires the DoubleTwist app to play music? I can only assume that Kies will do the needful, but what about all the playlists already built on iTunes? Any Alternatives?
3) SD Card... So it may seem that this can be utilized for everything which includes backups and storage, while updating firmwares, does it require it to be removed so it does not corrupt any data during the update process?
4) Freezing Apps... Does this basically mean that the app exists but all of the files and dependencies associated with it are ignored and not used? Why not just uninstall or delete?
5) ODIN / Rooting... If you could direct me to any links you may have which give good info on the usage, warnings, requirements... Would appreciate it.
6) iOS SMS DB to Android? Do all the SMS Apps on the Android use the same principles and formats? I have read that the SMS DB (which I have extracted) can be formatted via CSV and imported on Android OS. Any guides please and if I import it, is it a central location that it is stored where any SMS app from the Android Market can use that DB or does it create its own DB.
Thats all I can come up with. Anticipating for some great advice and words of caution.
Thanks All.
Some basics applies to SGS1 but most are the same .

No but a removal of sim and sd card means no trouble from them .
Sorry can not answer re ITunes i just cut and paste music .
APK backup Titanium backup pro from the market .

1) +1 for Titanium Backup. By far the easiest way to backup files. Most file explorers will allow you to manually copy the apk files out of the apps directory.
2) If you want, you can use DoubleTwist for only the wifi syncing. The music that it imports will be accessible by any app, including the stock music player.
4) Freezing an app is a "trial uninstall" of sorts. It will disable it as far as the user is concerned, but leaves the data there if you want to unfreeze it later. It doesn't require a reinstall, and you'll keep your data for the app.
5) There is a quick rundown of Odin and rooting in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076806&page=4
Thanks Slice.
Let me see if I got this correct. The APK file is like an IPA file consisting of the application data. Backing this up will back up the app?
Upgrading a firmware leaves the app data and app there or deletes it?
Thanks

Yes on the phone will be an app folder with all the installed apps i just copy this to sd card as a quick back up and PC . One can double click any APK and reinstall .
Upgrading a firmware leaves the app data and app there or deletes it?
Depends upon the upgrade genuine Kies upgrade leaves all data and apps .
Unofficial upgrades may not and like wise custom roms may not or may be produced as a wipe version to save install problems .

I wanted to ask how people manage their storage on their A101 efficiently. I have noticed that my system storage fills up as I install new apps and I have to manually move each to internal storage to keep the A101 running smoothly. Some apps cant be moved it seems.
Is there someway of getting apps to automatically install to internal storage to make life a little easier?
If you have root (Archangel is fine) you can use Move2SD Enabler. It is available on the market. Read instructions from the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720739
as you can't move apps with widgets or system apps, as they won't work properly. It has saved me lots of space on my A70.

Thanks Darren. I haven't gone down the Root path yet. Is there an app you can use without root that will do the job?
Try App 2 SD from the market
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&feature=search_result
You can only move apps which android allows to be moved with this, but it will tell you if you can move an app when you install new ones.

If you want to avail this feature to move apps data to sd card you need to root the phone(Use kingo app for rooting) and install gl2sd app from playstore.
This app will copy the huge data of bigger games and few apps to sd card. That way you will be able to free up lots of space. You can then install many heavy data games on your phone and enjoy.
But yes you have to root the phone first. If you're afraid of warranty, then don't worry you can make the status back to official and get the warranty back. There a tool called triangle away to do that. So, if you want to have this feature then root. Go ahead and try if needed and enjoy. Cheers ! ! !:good:
Let me know if any issues.

Out of Space : Unable to install some apps
Hi everyone!
Pardon me, I'm just new here, I signed up bcoz I'm losing hope now.
I'm having issue installing "some" apps on my phone. (some are installing)
Search and tried TS steps found online to no success.
TS steps done:
Restarted the phone
Clear Cache on the recovery mode
Clear cache on each application through setting>application manager
Clear cache using android assistant
Tried the MMI code *#9900# and deleted dumpstate/logcat
Deleted the "mysterious large file" .thumbdata
Checked and deleted some odex files
Checked and deleted files under android/data
Installed Lucky patcher (no troubleshooting option)
Unable to install logcat
Unable to search appslib or app-lib
Phone information:
Galaxy grand quattro
Not rooted, stock ROM
phone memory : 1.74GB/ 5GB
SD card 1.5GB/ 32GB
Running process (under applct'n manager): 662MB used, 219MB free
RAM status : 568MB/845MB
I can just reset my phone to factory default but that's just avoiding the problem, I would like to resolve the root cause of the problem. (without rooting the phone)
I believe that we can resolved this issue.
Thank you in advance.

First of all make your phone rooted (then only you can delete modify files) use odin to flah CWM recovery and install superSU with CWM, some apk need root access ( like lucky patcher, root explorer) then use root explorer and go to sdcard/andriod /data and delete only the files which are not working and then try to install them it will work.
Here is the link to rooting :

Hi,
Does this happened after a boot/reboot?
Did you tried other file manager app (es explorer,...)?
Did you "Clean" your Sony system using pre-installed apps?
Did you received an OTA (February one for example?)
We need to know more to support you.
Anyway... Wish you it is not lost

yes after reboot.
Yes. I used all file managers.They all show 2.8 gigabytes of occupied space, but they are hidden.
I did not clean.
Yes, I received the latest update.
Hello there.
My OnePlus 5T has got an issue today that is driving me crazy. Its storage is acting up in stupid ways.
I can browse its storage through the stock file manager and SD Maid without too many issues. However, everything else cannot access it, so it becomes impossible to save/download anything, upload anything, or even read anything (like these gallery pickers on social apps). Even the Play Store cannot update an app. I can't take screenshots either.
That OnePlus 5T is two years old and a half. I've tried removing a lot of files through SD Maid and nothing helps solving that issue. Rebooting my phone doesn't change anything either. Permissions are all good as well.
I haven't rooted my phone, however the bootloader is open.
Thanks for checking in.
It might be your File Explorer/Manager not showing the file i have that issue with Files by Google it doesn't show .img files on my sdcard and internal memory

As I pointed out in the first post, absolutely nothing shows up in Files by Google, stock Gallery app, or even Discord or Telegram. The Play Store cannot download anything, same for Google Chrome and any other apps. Somehow only the stock file explorer and SD Maid can manipulate storage without issues.
At random reboots I face the same issues too. Not sure why.

Did you manage to fix it? I've cleared the cache from the recovery menu and the problem persists, even after several reboots.
have you tried checking this app "Storage Permission" if they are allowed?

This was the first thing I checked and everything was okay. Double checked just in case and storage permissions are still granted.

Unfortunately no. I am using a Moto Z play rom and sadly rom development for my device is meager due to the unpopularity of the device. The storage permissions have been granted by me too but yet some apps completely hang and restart when I try to download in them. Browsers and all are working fine. Even download manager. It is stuffs like Edxposed which freezes when I click on download on a particular module. Same thing happens to certain other apps like image downloading apps. Storage permissions are intact. I'm on Lineage OS 16.
Another concerning issue is sometime both the inbuilt gallery app and Quickpic completely fail to recognize any images or videos. I did a clean install of the ROM too.
I can't take screenshots too (at times). I can download and upload anything with the help of solid explorer or es file manager. Camera app sometimes cannot save an image to its own storage even though permissions are intact.
Trying to download or update anything makes the Play store crash. Sometimes it updates, mostly it crashes. Things get way annoying when I'm urgently trying to download an app and play store just rage quits on me.
