[Q] Other having issues with Astro not being able to move stuff?

I have used Astro for some time on my LG 2x, but today I realised that I cant move stuff between the two "cards".
If I try to move I get the: "Move Failed" dialog and nothing happens.

I use Linda Manager with no problems.
Edit: Just tried to move a file from /sdcard to /sdcard/_ExternalSD. Works
For some reason Astro wont and I wanted to hear if I was the only one tackling with that problem before getting a hold of the guys that make Astro.
So other astro users, come out of the closet and let me hear if you are having the same issues
Same problem with astro.. Will not move files.
A workaround is to do copy, then delete the original, but it is annoying as hell. Too bad though, because astro has quick copy/move function, rar support, and thumbnails. All of which i need when doing rom modification before flashing..
I haven't found a better alternative, well except this lg0x2 move issue, now everything is better
Anyone can suggest a superior alternative? I've heard the lightweight ones can f'''up files if a phonecall comes in whilst files are being moved..
I can live with the Copy/Delete measure if thats we will have to do. I will however send a message to the developer of Astro and tell me there is a issue with the 2x and Astro moving. Hopefully its an easy fix.

[Q] Screen shaking

Hi All,
I am very new to galaxy tab.
I am running on official gingerbread, flashed following the guidelines on the site. Other than a checksum error it went smoothly and working just fine.
I have another problem though. When I hold it in portrait mode, trying to move up and down with my finger causes the screen to shake.
Somerimes more sonetines a little less but it is always there.
In landscaepe mode it almost does not exist, working smooth.
I tried doing a lot of search but could.not find anything on it.
unfortunately I did not pay attenrion if it was hapening on stock froyo, did not stay on that long enough.
Charging or not does not affect it.
Being suspicious about screen protector I rwmoved it but no change
Did anyone else experience anyrhing similar?
Thanks in advance for help.
Same problem here
Hi, I have the same problem here, I did woked on froyo for about a day or two, and the problem was not there, I upgraded to Overcome 2.0 and the problem is now there.
Similar to you, on landscape the problem is less evident, but still there.
In my case, on you-tube application, I don't have any shacking.
I hope someone finds a solution, problem seems to be software-based.
I just checked it, you are right, youtube does not present the same problem.
Lets hope for a solution from the experts.
Cheers
anyone?
this shaking is driving me nuts......the screen shakes so much when held down down that it pretty much renders google maps unuseable.
HELP PLEASE!!!
is it a screen sensitivity issue that we can tweak or something?
i've been googling for a month for answers now but no luck...
please please...

Hi guys, there is a similar topic here in XDA:

I have the same problem in my Galaxy Tab, and I show in a page in fgfaria.com
I now suspect it may be a deffect in some specific feature in some library used by some apps and not used in other apps.
I installed Android SDK in my PC, and created an simple app following a tutorial, with a list of countries that can be scrolled up and down. In this very simple app, the problem doesn't happen, just like youtube.
I've found an app that could potentially solve the problem, but my GT is not rooted, and can't use it. It's called "ILITEK Touch Utility" and it's available for free in Android Market.
Let me know if it's useful for any of you.

Fabio
My tab does exactly the same thing as per your weblink.
The app i have download but once i hit the calibrate button, I somehow get denied access.
Any way around it? This shaking is getting old......sigh
Software, not hardware
Hi all,
In addition to touch test apps and youtube app, there are some other apps that don't present the problem. One specific interesting case is the one of the HelloListView tutorial presented in Android Developers website.
I've followed the tutorial, and created this illustrative app that just creates a list and allows you to scroll up and down. This specific app doesn't present the problem we've been discussing. I've made it available for download as apk file in the end of that same testing page (fgfaria.com)
That application being so simple and not presenting the problem, and the other apps that also don't present it, makes me think that the problem may appear when some specific library gets included in an app. Possibly something related to hardware acceleration, for example (just guessing, no specific reasons to believe that).
If only we could isolate the cause of the problem, we could notify Google and/or Samsung and influence a new patch release.
This is as far as I have gone so far. Ideas, reactions?
Regards,
Fabio

Hi Chris, I believe the denied access is because the GT is not rooted. The app must need access to pretty low level adjustments, and only rooting the device would make that possible.
I have the same messages in my GT, but rooting is kind of my last option to solve this.
My current options are:
1) Wait for an official Gingerbread update
2) If that doesn't solve, I'll contact my factory warranty
3) If they deny this is a problem, or if they can't fix it, I'll try rooting and using this app
While the first option is not available, I'll continue my search for another fix.
Cheers,
Fabio

Another possible explanation for the problem not happening in the app from the tutorial is that libraries being used include some kind of filter not used in problematic apps...
mine shakes but not noticable,.. i didn't notice this on froyo
Hi,
Thank you all for responses. I have been searching too but did not find anything.
However I have a theory.
The screen shaking phenomenon does not happen (or unnoticably little) when you are on a dark screen. Web browser included.
Is this your observation too?
Cheers
mine do shake even if its dark, originally i found this "bug" couple of days ago, when im in bed late at night, i initially thought that the shaking was via my finger, and was surprised to see this post a while ago
Note: My tab is rooted because I'm currently running the Overcome 2.0 RC1 rom.
*major headache *
Fully agree! Mine shakes only in light background! Same problem, but in this case, it looks more like a hardware issue than software (intuitively, at least, hardware is more likely to be affected by screen luminosity than software). The solution though, could be a software filter of fast screen movements...
Anyone? There is a solution for Galaxy S (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844216&page=3#). There must be a solution for Galaxy Tab 7 too...
Hi everyone,
Is the same problem happening in the new 2.3.3 asia roms?
Do you have any experience?
Cheers.

Where can the new room be found? I'd like to give it a try, is the Overcome golden 2.3.3 Asia room?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I was referring to official asia roms.
They are available in samfirmware.com but I have not tried myself.
Cheers
Anyone found a solution yet?

Audio Not as Good with Android 4.4 Rom

My HTC One running stock KitKat doesn't sound as good as it used to when I had the 4.3 rom. I think somehow the audio drivers aren't as good. Is anyone else experiencing this? I hear the old popping sound from the speakers time to time when sound starts up like I used to with 4.1.2. If anyone else has this problem post about it, thank you!

I definitely have the same issue, but mainly with notification sounds. Playing media files works well...

I had this same problem. My fix was editing the build.prop file.
-Using a file explorer with ability to R/W /system (I use ES File Explorer), navigate to the build.prop file found in /system
-Then find the line that reads lp.decode=true
-Change "true" to "false"
-Save the file then reboot
If I understand correctly, when set to true, it's using a "power saving mode" for audio, which helps battery life, but reduces audio quality.
This did the trick for me, hope it helps you!

I came from 4.2.2 and I didn't notice any difference to 4.4.
I assume you mean "lpa.decode=true" ?
This can be found @ 50% in ES editor. I didn't test this. Maybe I will try if more guys can hear any difference, to see for myself. Nice find though, CD =)

[Q] HELP EDITING SYSTEM CALIBRATION FILE? have root etc...

ok im having calibration issues when holding my phone in landscape mode. ive dug around and found the calibration file for the accelerometer and other sensors. it will let me change it but it wont let me save it. also if you view it in root explorer text editor it wont show. but if you view it in es file, root browser, or root explorer text viewer it shows as -2 0 0 0. and coincidentally its off by about 2 degrees. the file path is sys>devices>virtual>sensors>accelerometer_sensor>calibration. it just wont allow me to save the file. any ideas?
also it wont even let me copy the file to neither internal or external sd car. i have root. all explorers have super user access.
From what I am told by a rom Dev it can't be changed. Every phone has the same thing. He said depending on what ur doing the app seems to be what needs calibration to the phone. When he tested sensor with dial code it all showed perfect even tho that file says that. Do a sensor test and watch it is accurate. What ever app you are using in landscape mode is the issue reach out to Dev of app for the fix
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Looks like you're right. I'm just thrown off that all of them drift to the left. Didn't have the issue on my s5.... Thanks for your help brother. Hopefully the lollipop update fixes it.

That won't help either it has to be the app developer who fixes it in his way of handeling the app.

No notifications

Hi everyone,
I just updated my x5 (not pro) to the coloros13, and ever since I get no notifications at all, at some apps I get the upper screen only notification without any vibrate or sound, and with whatsapp for instance I get nothing at all, so I have to log into the app every time I wanna check whether I got a message or not, does anyone had that issue and know how to fix it? I would love to just go back to Coloros12 but I can't find a download to zip anywhere, I'm going mad here guys Plz help!
Maybe sleep mode?
