I fried my memory card and now im screwed.....

My memory card got fried and all the games that i had transferred to SD are gone as well. I thought this would be a simple process of buying a new SD card in which I did and reinstalling the app. WRONG.... everytime I try to reinstall the games that were lost my phone would say "REPLACE APPLICATION" and of course I would select OK, it would go thru the entire motions of installing and then in the end would say "APP NOT INSTALLED". So apparently even if the games were lost when my SD card got fried there are reminants left somewhere on the Phone. Does anyone know exactly where i would be able to find the reminants of these games so I can reinstall it without any problems ?

What about using the amazon marketplace on your pc to push it? Not sure if amazon has this function because I don't use amazon.

How fried is the sd card? Data recovery is pretty good with solid state if it is just a partition/mbr/fs/vol issue. If it is truly done and won't show up at all in disk management, then probably done. But if it shows up at all in management, even if it has no partition info or raw, it should be recoverable.

just re-install via amazon appstore.

Did you wipe dalvik and cache?
Several system cleaners in the play store that cleanup left over app stuff. Try one.
If none of these work, the entries that need to be deleted are in a config file somewhere, no clue which one.
Use TiBu to back up your settings and data, wipe and reflash phone.

[Q] Multitasking.- fixed or not?

I love the look of this phone, and I was insanely happy with my One X but I had to make the jump to the S3 (and later the Note 2) because of the multitasking woes that plagued the phone. No matter how I phrase an internet search I can't hear any preview that addresses the issue that many review sites completely ignored the last time around.
So the bottom line question is this: Will the M7 have standard multitasking? (I.e. the phone does NOT refresh applications/web pages/etc in an effort to conserve battery life).

+1 this was my biggest gripe with the hox....I switched to the gs3 as well but looking to possibility move back to htc if this has been fixed
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Indeed. HTC has fantastic build quality (I'd easily put the one X with any iPhone). If it had multitasking I'd put up with a non removable battery. Especially since I tend to watch a lot of Netflix lately while waiting for classes and I love the idea of the speaker placements on the m7.
And the one X still had the best camera I'd ever had on a smartphone)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

Sorry guys can you clarify about the multitasking issue on the HTC One X? I had an Nexus phone a few years back and thought all Android phones fully multitasked out the box so to speak.

Android has multi tasking but i heard htc one x broke that. When you switch to another app and comeback using recent apps that app would need to be reopened which means it gets terminated even if you dont kill it

It has been fixed on the One according to all the videos I've seen

The HTC One X had the worst multi tasking of any phone. You could literally go between just two apps and they apps would have to completely reload. They would not even be in a save state. For instance, i would be surfing the internet, go text real quick and come back, only to find my internet had to reload the whole page I was just on 30 seconds ago. It was horrible. It ruined the phone for a lot of people. And forget about trying to switch between any more apps lol. I'm not sure if HTC even acknowledged it, or I believe they said "that is just how it works". If I had known it was that bad, I would have got the s3 over it. But I bought one of the first ones so woe is me.

Just to clarify:
People aren't asking if the HTC One can multitask, it is obvious that it can.
We are asking:
How is the memory management on the phone? Does it unload app quickly, like the HTC One X? Or does it save them in memory.
With the HTC One X, if u opened a webpage, then went to the home scream, once u returned to the webpage it would reload instead of staying in memory.
We want to know if basicly this behaviour is still present? Or if it stays in memory.

Hello! I'm not sure about this problem but do you have a HTC One X? If so did you guys ever check the defined values of it's OOM settings already? Since that's the one that handles the killing of background apps etc.

It all depends on your minfree values. With minfree values you/HTC can set the phone to close apps at certain memory values, to have a certain memory free when you are using apps.
Higher minfrees= more apps closed= more ram available to the few opened apps
Lower minfrees=more apps opened= less ram available to the many open apps.
All this can be changed once you root the phone so I wouldn't worry what it comes with. The beauty of Android is that EVERYTHING basically can be changed. That is if you root it There are about 1000000000 ways to do it

HOX Multitasking
Yes this was the initial behaviour of the HOX but since updating to Jelly Bean i have not noticed this anymore.

I've owned an S3 since release and rarely, if ever, have had this problem. Do you routinely use 30 apps at once or something?

Multitasking

Do we know yet if htc has fixed the multitasking in the one. I had an x and x+ and the thing could not have more than a couple apps open at one time. It was quite annoying going into your mail app from the browser and having your browser reload when you go back into it. This drove me nuts.
If htc fixed that on the one I will be first in line to get one. If not then i will take a pass.

I read some article (hands-on) and it said multitasking is great, the phone just flew between apps

This is one thing I am looking for as well. I can't stand the multi tasking on my one x. It is completely useless. Couldn't even switch between two apps without having to reload them. I had also heard in one of the hands on videos I believe that they said the multi tasking had been fixed as well. But I'm still waiting for a thorough review.

lol, did you legit just copy and paste Ddot's post?
But, yeah, I have the SGS3 now and it's nice to actually have multitasking compared to my HOX. I miss the non-pentile screen so much and I will definitely be pre-ordering one of these.

Lol hey I knew that post looked familiar! he was just quoting without the quotes heh. Yea I have the hox and my buddy has the s3 and it absolutely drives me nuts that he can actually multi task...I almost stopped using the button on this phone as it is near useless.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app

i read that it is limited to the last 9 apps you have used (which is more than enough i think)
so hopefully that means they have sorted it but could only get the last 9 working.

I'm fine with the last 9 working, as long as they are truly staying in some sort of saved state and pull back up to where you were at without reloading I'll be ecstatic.

9 apps only? With 2GB of RAM? A complete TRAGEDY!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

The problem is if those 9 apps are actually held in RAM or not. The HOX showed plenty of apps in the recent app list, it's just that they had all been killed already so it re-loaded from scratch.
Hopefully HTC have learnt, and if not then 2Gb RAM should make a difference too
M.

very nice

Any one get the ONE already can give some view on the mulitask performance?
If you you open several APP, like web browser and other APPs, when you switch back to web browser will it reload the pages?

Seems to work flawlessly none of the nine apps refresh

The phone will not have any multitasking problems with 2 gigs of RAM.
One X had only 1 gb, that's why it sucked with more than 2 apps open.

1g shall work fine for multitask, but one x has special handling to deal with multitask that cause it a problem. It killed app when memory still very much.
So we need ONE user to give their feedback on how good it is now.

Can someone with the One make a video and post it up please.
Go to Youtube Desktop version, play the video to 1 min in, Press home, go into email app, Press home then go to task Switcher app, Click on Youtube and see if the video is still at 1 min mark or it refreshed.
Its a deal-breaker for me

This would be interesting to know... Its not a deal breaker for me as memory management is fairly easy to modify with root. But it will still be annoying.

Root never fixed it on the one x for me despite tweaking

I'm wondering if it already is. If there's pictures on my phone, and I need to reflash it, I would hope they would be saved to another partition so that I don't have to go through and back up all the stuff I want to keep.

There's a difference between the internal memory partition and the emmc. On my wife's NS4G it's the same. Anything on the emmc is not touched and the internal memory is flashed over.

So then there are 2 different storage points in the device, or the main storage is partitioned to be 2? If that's the case, then we should have access to all 32GB of storage, right? I'm pretty sure I'm wrong though.

According to pdadb.net the Sprint 32gb has 2gb of RAM and 29.7gb ROM. I bet around 4gb of that is for OS and Data and the remaining 25gb is accessible as storage.
I've got at least 16gb of music now on my 32gb SD and with backups, ROMs, and pictures have about 2-4gb available at anytime. My photos auto upload to Dropbox so I will probably get in that habit for other files.
I think with Google Play you can stream your cloud stored music to your phone. Does anyone know if there is a way to do that with the HTC Music player in Sense 5?

Probably not through the Music Player on Sense, but I use Google Play Music frequently. I've uploaded all of the music I have to it, and stream everything from there. Really the only stuff I have on my phone otherwise is pictures and a couple movies. And considering I have a 16GB card in my EVO 4G LTE, the additional space won't really worry me.

You cant do that, removing system applications require root.

Depends what bloat you're talking about? There really isn't much on there to be honest.

Figured as much, I just remember when I got my One there was something like 4-5 gbs already taken up.

You can't remove em without root, but you can disable many of them. I have about 15 apps that came pre installed that I won't use (mostly carrier crap, and stuff like Google Magazine, books, etc..)
Go to settings - > apps - > all, then select disable if it isn't grayed out...
A lot of the HTC apps can't be disabled, but whatever can is worth it
Pretty much like freezing.. You still have the apps taking space, but they won't run and will disappear from your app drawer!

i assume your talking about the 6.9ish gb that comes used up from when you first turned on the phone? that section is mostly a system partition used up by the android OS system. I'm not too versed in this but its pretty much neccessary. how large does that section have to be now that i'm not too sure. but every sense version i've ran on here custom 1.29 has pretty much the same size for that partition.

the best way without root is to disable the apps, as WolfDale7 mentioned.

Awesome, thanks for all the responses and help everybody!
