Is there any way to restore my old Whatsapp conversations from my Evo 4G LTE onto my HTC One?
Supposedly the conversations are backed up somewhere because the app shows they have been but, upon registering Whatsapp on my new device there is no option to restore them.
Also bear in mind that I cannot insert the micro SD from my old phone onto the HTC One as the latter does not have a SD slot.
I also did not see an option to restore the conversations onto a PC..
Don't really like the "email conversation" option as it's very time consuming and not as practical.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
A little late but all stuff is stored on the sd card under the whatsapp folder. Just move from one sd location to another and it should see it and offer you the option to restore.

Ughhh.... was realy looking forward to the Contapps version with LinkedIn tapp. It came out and i installed it. Set synchronization on and the LinkedIn contacts started to appear gradualy on my tab. A week later the tab is out of memory and telling me to take action. (Delete contact, calendar or other user data) SMS are being rejected coz no more memory. The app is taking up 10mb of memory and the contacts about 65mb so far but likely to be at least 5-6 times more with all LinkedIn contacts synchronized.
I moved the app and a few other to the SD but cant free up a fraction of what is needed for all the contacts. Anybody know how to move the contacts to the SD card???

Is it really impossible to move my contacts from GT internal memory to SD?

just import the contacts to SDCARD ? ?
I need to clear the internal memory of all contacts, importing creates copy on the SD without removal from internal memory.

I just got my 32gb sd card for my gtab ..
Install and reformat accordingly.
Question:
I could see the 32gb sd on setting screen but on other gtab app screens only show the internal sd 16gb instead of external sd 32gb.(figure shows lesser).
Any transfer of app actually goes into internal sd memory.
How to make gtab recognized the 32gb sd?..
I thought this forum popular !...
The tab slowed down so badly on contacs that I had to uninstall the app and do factory reset to clear the 10k contacts. Couldnt figure out how to wipe the contact list. Then added my google acount and before i figured out what was going on 5k contacts got synchronized back to the tab.
Really need some help to manage this without reseting back to factory again. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
So far no clue how to move the contacts to SD card and even if that is possible is there any app capable of handling so many contacts without serious lag?

Maybe if you didnt hijack other peoples threads we would feel like answering you
Uhhhhh, woke up this morning and to my horror again the message that the memory is full. Maybe the extra Skype contacts pushed it over the edge.
Finaly figured out how to clear the thosands of people from the contacts. In Manage Applications found a Contacts Storage app. Went into it and Clear Data. That restores the tab from all sort of force closes back to functional.
Couple things now left to figure out.
* How to move the contacts data to SD card. Stil no clue!!!
* Find an app that can handle 13k contacts without freezing, force closing, going bezerk or coming up with any other wierd unexpected results!!!
I seem to be talking with myself here which probably means that there isnt too many of us lunatics trying to load so many contacts on the cute little tab. Hey even if you dont know but have crazy or untested ideas let me know anyway. I am willing to have a go at it.

Is it the norm to move/install apps (that support it) to the SD? I'm thinking moving mine, but does moving disturb anything? Will I be able to update the apps regularly still?
Sorry for the noob question
You can move any App that has the ability to be moved. They will update regularly and you should not have any problems. That being said there are a few Apps out there that will lose some features if moved to the external like the jorte calender when moved to external you will lose the capacity to use the widgets. Hope this helped!
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
Hm. I use Jorte...I guess I'll leave my widget apps alone just in case.
If I were to change my SD card (for a bigger one) I guess I'd have to move them back to the phone and then back to the new card?
It is my understanding that you would not have to but I am sure that if I am wrong that someone more experienced than me will post a correction. I have taken my sd card out when the phone had been worked on by at&t and the Apps that were on sd still worked
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
a few catches do exist. you can't create a widget for an app that is on SD. Also some apps don't work reliably when on SD, e.g. sms backup's auto backup feature doesn't work if the app is on SD.

This is ridiculous man. I've had 3 moto phones now and have never seen it like this! Every reboot I lose at least 5. The XDA app is cursed on this phone, not to mention others.
Before you ask, I didn't transfer anything to the media area.
This is silly, and needs to get sorted out soon.

You want to know how bad it was the last time my phone was rebooted? (which was from a battery pull due to the XDA app freezing up the phone) - I had 5 1/2 pages of apps before - now I have 4 1/2.
This is wild...
Just got the bionic
And the same thing has happened to me
Kinda annoying

Ok... I won't ask if you transfered anything to the media area.
What I will ask is if you transfered your file which are in the media area back to the phone.
Some apps will install to the media area by default. You need to move them to the phone in manage apps.
Go to manage apps and select the media area tab. Make sure you go down the line and ensure there are no checks in any boxes.
If you have any, move those apps to phone if you don't want them top disappear.

You're a boss.
Just did what you said. I will report back at the end of the day if I lost any apps.

Not so fast
I just followed the recommendation to the T. And when I attempt to uncheck the box, I get a screen that allows me to move the app back to the phone.
So I next tried to move the app back to the phone, but when I do, I get a popup that states: "FAILED TO MOVE APPLICATION". Repeated tries yield the same results.
The QC on this phone is rubbish.
+1 ... I usually lose XDA, Netflix, and Madden 12. Madden 12 won't even show up in the market for me either although I have paid for it.
If the app you're trying to movve is already missing try re-installing it from the market before you move it to keep your data.
The apps which disapeared all start with "COM." And will have to be re-installed before you can move them.

When I download apps from Android Market, the Bionic occasionally (rarely) throws an insufficient storage message just prior to installation, despite have >2GB of application storage available. The downloaded file just disappears after that.
If I had to guess, when my apps disappear, they do so during automatic updates.
If you get that error, most likely it was trying to save an app to your media area.
Re-download and install the app.
Once install is complete, send the app back to phone asap. Get it out of the media area.

UN mounting and re mounting the internal storage works. So does restarting the launcher after the initial boot. You can use a task manager to kill the home process... When it restarts all my apps re appear
Weak we have to go through all that trouble... But it is better than no fix at all.
Losing apps is not Bionic specific
Dear All:
My lg revolution does the same thing, when I reboot phone not all the apps load. It seems to be software related aka Android glitches. The apps I have installed to the external SD card are the ones that are sometimes lost. Internal memory apps never get lost. BTW my wife's Fascinate the same thing.

What class SD card are you using? Try a slower class card. It also might be the brand is not compatible.
Your SD card is the problem.

I had this problem as well, and after doing a bit of searching around, this is what I came up with. This is apparently a problem plaguing the Bionic right now, and will hopefully be fixed with the soon to come OTA update. When you download apps, go to settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Media Area, and uncheck the apps that you want the phone to not delete, or if it's a new app you just downloaded, make sure it ISN'T checked. In a sense, sometimes the phone will save apps to the SD card (when the box is checked) automatically besides the standard internal memory, therefore when the phone reboots, it might not read the apps in your SD memory very well. So until the OTA udpate comes through, just double check in this area that all apps are unchecked (unless it's Backbreaker, or something). For instance, my DroidForums application kept uninstalling itself, and after checking the Media Area, I noticed that the box beside the name was "checked." After unchecking, it is no longer removing itself.
i want to move my contacts to my computer before unlocking the bootloader but cant seam to find a way to do it. all i want is to have my contacts on my phone after unlocking it and after flasing roms. help is appreaciated
Back them up to internal storage via, people>settings>manage contacts>export to SIM or mobile storage. Export then copy the vcf card file to your pc.

I always go the export to internal/sd route, as Google sync sorta sucks sometimes. The majority of the time, it works, buuuuuttttt I've probably added my step mothers number to my phone 20 times over the past year or so and it never syncs.

What are you using to move them? Is this just on stock ROM? Are you rooted? More details, please.

Ok so you're not using an app designed specifically for moving other apps/etc to your SD then. With that being the case you'll need to be very careful in where you're pulling the data from if you expect it to continue functioning as it used to.
You mentioned initially that your moved pictures and videos still show up in the app drawer but are greyed out and say not installed....this is a bit confusing as pictures and videos are usually just single file images or single file video clips and would not ever actually show up in the app drawer and are instead accessed via an app from the app drawer like Gallery or Google Photos, etc. Generally speaking, the apps themselves are usually much smaller than the total amount of space taken up by your videos or (if you have a lot) pictures....you don't even need that many pictures to start adding up to a respectable size if they are all High Quality images.
So, I would recommend you attempt to undo the moves you've made thus far (though if you can't get the apps to show back up as normal then just reinstall them then clean your SD card and internal memory with a junk cleaner) and focus solely on ".img, .png, .mov, .mp3, .gif, .jpeg, .mp4" or any other similarly formatted files if you're doing the moves freely with a root explorer like ES.
If you really want to move your apps over, or at least some of them, try using an app specifically designed for that purpose as this will hopefully ensure they continue to function after the move.....If you're on the stock ROM you should be able to move the apps just by going to Settings > Storage I think or Settings > Apps. One of those two (pretty sure it's storage but I'm on AOSP rom atm so can't check sry) and then click on one of your apps you should get options to Force Quit, Clear Cache, Clear Data then below those you should see a Move to SD option.
Hope this helps! Let me know if I wasn't clear enough or you have further questions^^
No you were very clear I wasn't clear when I said the pictures and videos in the app drawer I should have said from the gallery they where showing up as an empty space Now I believe my card was just going corrupt because it's corrupted now

i have this issue as well. When i transfer files like pictures and music from my internal to my external it says its transferred which is cool but when i reboot the device the files are gone. I have tried the sd card fix apps in the play store and it says its fixed but obviously not. It wont let me format either on the computer or on the phone or it says it does but it actually doesnt. So i have lost all hope on what to do i dont want to buy another card if this is going to happen to it.
