I've recently install the Sygic Sat Nav app on my Z2.
The problem is all the avatars, emoticons and pictures from sygic are showing in the gallery and album apps.
Is there anyway to hide these? I've tried the .nomedia file but no luck.
Thanks

Upon the first start of Sygic, the user can either purchase a map or activate a free trial. For the purposes of the free trial, any map can be downloaded. Sygic will let you use the map and the app with almost full functionality for a whole week before you are asked to purchase.Sygic boasts a variety of functions. This includes, of course, normal navigation through the input of a desired address: simply select the appropriate country, enter a city, street and house number and you can start your navigation. In addition, a home address can be stored.

I think, the extension for SmartWatch 2 will be available in Google Play, and it will let SmartWatch 2 receive navigation information, via Bluetooth, from the smartphone. Users will see a detailed map on their wrist, making it easy to navigate on foot. You will be able to see your current position, as well as your route, and there’s also a neat zoom function which lets you take a closer look at your map.

I dont know why the .nomedia option isnt working for you, anyway 2 options for you, you could either try making a folder called .nomedia and put all the sygic pix inside that folder, or a slightly longer way would be to edit the names of the pictures you dont want visible, just add a full stop at the start of file name..... eg if pic you want to hide is called pic1.jpeg you would change it to .pic1.jpeg then it wont show in gallery

about the .nomedia thingy.
i kinda hate it that all the album covers are shown in the gallery.
.nomedia DOES work for sub folders, right ?
So is there a thing such as .nophoto ? because i have mp3 files and the cover as .jpg in the same folder.

Creating .nomedia file in any folder that contains images that you don't want to see in album should work (after restarting, of course) maybe that can work for widget as well...

I'm not sure if others have had this problem but I'll explain anyway.
Last week, I spent hours and hours renaming all of my incorrectly named songs and setting the artist and album info. I done this for about 600 songs, at the time. I went onto the music player the next day to find that all the changes I'd made, were gone. So it wasn't showing album/artist info and some songs were back to being named wrong.
I'm just wondering if this is a problem within the Xperia S, or whether mine just decided to play up on me.
I don't really want to try it again until I know for sure (because of hours wasted) Any help would be great

I'm not sure but I think it's an Android 2.3+ problem. On my previous phone Motorola milestone, running on android 2.2, the tags and names of the songs, artists etc. were placed in the right order with the right tags etc.

OP did you just change the file names?
The player is reading the ID3 data, so unless all of it right you wont get the correct info on screen. This means changing artist, album artist etc etc. I recommend "Mp3tag - the universal Tag Editor" www.mp3tag.de/en/. Its donateware and performs perfectly in both directions.
I suggest you use beets (beets.radbox.org). It is a command-line based automatic tagger / library organizer that uses MusicBrainz to automagically (!) identify your music. So you just go into a folder with 1.mp3, 2.mp3 etc. and run beet import .
Have you used the SensMe functionality? If you do, that's one of the culprit. It takes your music info and tries to match it with Sony's database. It then renames all the music in the library. The only way to put it back the way it was is to retransfer all the files.

No I didn't just change the file names, I added all the artist/album info aswell. Does MP3tag work straight from phones, as that all I've got access to use?

As I am still on other phone yet, I can't say for sure if it will work. Try Mp3 Editor or something like that from GPlay. Do it with a few songs, restart the phone and listen to all of them. If none of them have problems, keep doing it with the rest of the songs. I know it will be a hard job, but it's the only solution I can think from the phone.

Try droid3tagger from market, uses acoustic fingerprinting to identify tracks and can be set to automatically rename them.

That method isn't working on me prime. I do not want to use an app to accomplish this. Suggestions?
get the free app called quick pic. allows you to hide what ever folder or pix you want. it works great.
Seriously off topic. Should be posted in the general Android section. Actually Google would tell you the answer in about 30 seconds...

I see the XDA Gestapo is making an appearance.
Put them in any folder with a name starting with a period. You could make for example: "/sdcard/.secretpornfolder"
I also recommend Quick Pic but just pointing out that the stock gallery app is extremely buggy and even after putting a nomedia file in a folder you want to hide it doesn't start hiding the folder until you wipe the data of the gallery app so that it refreshes the folder list. Don't bother with it though and use Quick Pic instead.

http://blog.onthegosolutions.com/index.php/2012/05/01/hidden-power-saver-menu-htc-one-x/
this trick to access the power save menu, do the exact same thing, only after you check "start another activity" --> the select "select an activity or shortcut" --> stay on the activity list and scroll down to Polaris Office, and select it. Bam, now you have an icon app link to polaris office front page, allowing you to create new documents or edit documents.
This minimalistic text app is AWESOME.
found it in the one X forums.
Cool, but begs the question, why is Polaris Office installed with no app menu shortcut?
this is an excellent question. I was so mad at my 3d for being root locked and I couldn't get polaris off, but its here. and works fine. a BUNCH of stuff is hidden on this phone. I also wonder why
It's integrated into Sense 4.0. That's the only thing I can think of.
By the way, any replacement launcher will let you see the Polaris Office App like normal.
Here's another solution for Polaris Office:
Install ES file Explorer.
Open the Application Manager.
Scroll and find Polaris Office.
Long press and choose create short cut.
You now have a proper shortcut complete with the right Icon.
you know,I have es file explorer,I did this and HOLY SHISTER there a lot of apps with no links to. ringtone trimmer? picasa? soundhound? polaris? this rocks

My first android phone is SGS3 and ...
I have so very many questions I dont even know where to start. Just like it said in the video I am a noob so this might even be in the wrong section.
For the starters a few questions come to mind (and yes, I did use the search button, viewed tens maybe hundreds of forum pages) so please would someone be so kind and help me with following
1] In the browser, when I click bookmarks, I find local but under that two other empty folders with my gmail adress but both empty. How do I remove them?
2] How to properly setup mail for exchange. I have my gmail and hotmail accounts added. Sometimes they work sometimes they dont and how the widget updates is really beyond me.
3] One thing that really bothers me since I like to keep my devices clean and arranged is uninstalling apps and games. I noticed that after uninstalling some files remain.
4] Another thing is that mostly with trial versions of apps, I cant seem to find them anywhere in my files folder therefore I cant check if after uninstalling all the junk is removed.
Besides that I can say that the phone is pretty good although the build and the pentile is kinda let down but enough has been said on this forum on that subject.
Thank you for your answers.

Honestly, I recommend using Google Chrome. You can download it from the market.
The folders with your Gmail address are for sync across devices. Afaik it can be disabled by System Settings->Accounts&Sync->[Email address]->untick "Sync Browser"

The same issue as on all computers... messy apps. The files on the sdcard do not really belong to the app so Android cannot delete them automatically. I agree that it's a terrible chaos after trying out several apps which is very annoying. Sadly that issue is present with all computers including GNU/Linux, Windows, ...

You cannot see the app installation folder since the system hides them. All you can see is the before-mentioned junk.

I'm also new to the SGSlll and I have a the same questions that were answered and it helped a lot but I got a couple of my own if it's not to imposing to ask,
1) Somehow the green call button that used to be beside the number or the name of the contact in the logs section disappeared and I know I can swipe to call it, but I would like that button back because it is easier for me. I don't know whether this was gone from the recent update.
2) why is there some games and apps that I can't find in play store, I tried to DL them from the Internet and it said you can't DL them in your country (Egypt) is there anything I could that will allow me to DL them?
3) Is there any ways to create a folder so that I can put all the games together for example??
Thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience as I said am still new to andriods.

Restrictions can be imposed on multiple levels
- Hardware specs (notably display resolution)
- Android Version
- Hardware name
- Country
- Carrier
In your case it seems to be the country. There are multiple descriptions on XDA and other sites, but afaik all of them include using a Proxy server. It's not trivial but unfortunately the only method for accessing them from the Play Store.

Not on the stock launcher afaik. You can create folders on the home screen but not in the app drawer.
There exist several other free Launchers in the Play Store capable of creating folders, try them out.

You can create folders in the apps drawer by clicking the left menu button > edit. Then drag an app (you should be able to see an empty folder icon at bottom left corner) and mount it over the folder icon. The app will now appear in a folder. Rest of the apps can be moved to the folder as well and you can name it whatever you like. Be sure to save the setting at top right corner. This folder can also be dragged to the home screen menu. Hope this helps.

That works well, did not know this. Personally I like to use Apps Organizer by Fabio Collini (on the Market for free). It also gives u the opportunity to create folders with your themed apps (i.e. games / tools / navigation / ...) The advantage here is that you can select your own icon for the folder to go on your home screen. Especially if you have a lot of themed folders (like I do) you can create a much nicer look this way.

The call button on the right side was removed in the LFB update. Samsung probably thought it was redundant and I agree with that. They could have made it optional though.
At the moment there's no way to get that back unless you replace that particular apk (dialer.apk maybe) with the older version of it.

That's fully configurable. Dropbox doesn't upload anything except you actually tell it to.
Go to Settings->Accounts->Sync and disable the Sync accounts and settings you do not need or want.
I'd recommend syncing Contacts+Bookmarks through Google and using SMS Backup+ to sync call logs and SMS.
With those present, even a lost/broken device would be acceptable in terms of data loss to me.

TTS = text to speech, so it is probably related to that.
TTS File
I believe this is caused by a misplaced cache file used by TTS (Text-to_Speech) that is showing up in your gallery. It was probably created if you opened the TTS service under Accessibility in the Settings app. It should be safe to delete but may reappear if TTS is activated, directly or indirectly, again.

It looks like your gallery is mistaking the .tts file for a video file. Apparently .tts can be a file extension for MPEG-2 video formats. Check out this link for more information.
If you want it to stop showing up (and you are rooted) use a file explorer to put a blank ".nomedia" file in the /storage/external_SD/Android/data/ folder and reboot your phone. Or if I remember right, the G3 has a way to hide media files which you dont want to be seen or want to keep private.
