[Q] two questions - Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G

It's here! I love the look and the feel. Great phone, but I have two questions. First, I thought as superuser you could transfer all the apps to the SD card. I tried, but there are a bunch on there I can't move. I am using BB9.
Second, I need to transfer my contacts from my old phone. I might be able to sync it with T-Mobile, but I just got off the phone with a rep (I did not mention that I am not running a stock UI) and apparently none of the contacts I synced with T-mobile.com are there.... Is there a way to send these? I'm not going to type 500 names individually.... I looked for an answer, but couldn't come up with one. If this question has already been answered (which I am sure it has), just post a link to the response.
Thank you for all your help

one problem solved

Looks like the difficulty moving contacts may be the SD card. For some reason, the Galaxy S is not writing the contacts to the SD card. I am going to try a different card, but I suspect the problem is with the phone, as apps store on the card just fine.

the SIM card

Figet about you YOUTUBE there is SOMETHING BETTER

THIS IS THE BEST FOR PLAYING MOBILE VIDEO AND SEARCHING WIKI, IT IS STILL IN BETA STAGE BUT THIS, ABSOLUTELY THE BEST BY FAR.
ANY VIDEO U ARE LOOKING IS ON HERE. ENJOY.
http://www.vtap.com/alldevices.html
HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THIS.
ye ive been using this and its a pretty cool application. has a wide range of videos. try searching top 50 and theres a few good top 50 sports plays. one of them is 22min long. videos load up pretty quickly too...my only problem with this app is that the bookmarks don't always save if you save a few videos at a time.
overall i say give it a shot...alot better than the other options out there
Hello, I work for Veveo Inc. who provide the vTap service. I am sorry you are seeing a problem with the bookmarks. I was wondering if you could provide more information on what you are seeing with the bookmarks. Is it just that you are not able to have more than some number of bookmarks? Or is it that if you add more than some number of bookmarks within one session you have a problem? Thanks for any more info you can provide. We are looking into the problem.

The problem occurs in the second instance you mentioned where I cannot save more than a few bookmarks(usually 3 or more) per session.
I dont know if its a problem or not, but when i tell the application that i want to install it on my Storage Card it goes all fine with the installation. When its all done i go and check if it made a folder on my Storage Card and its not there, but then I check on the internal memory programs and its there.
I don't know if I explained my self correctly but thats what happens .

We are aware of the problem that even when you select to install on the Storage card it still installs into the main memory. When we have a solution for this problem, I will post back.

Hello All.. We have posted a new version of the vTap client. This version has a number of bug Fixes:
1 - Storage Card - Previously if you requested vTap to be installed on a storage card, it would still get installed into the main memory of the phone. This has been fixed, and vTap will now be installed onto the storage card.
2 - Double Icon - Previosly when installing vTap, there would be 2 icons created in the Programs folder. Now after installing, there should be only one icon.
3 - Proxy Issue - There was an issue when connecting through some proxies where you would not be able to play clips. An error would be reported indicating the resolved clip is empty. This issue has been resolved.
You can install the latest version of the vTap client by pointing the browser on your phone to www.vtap.com, and downloading the appropriate application.
So far I really dig this app...videos work pretty well.
the latest version of vTap doesnt fix the storage card problem.its still exists.

Hi Coolgal302006 - I just want to confirm that you ended up with the latest version of the client. Could you tell me the version that is installed? You can tell this by going from Tools/About. Thanks!
Great post. Very nice application.

import/ copy SIM Contacts does not work with Cyanogen 6.0.0 stable

Hi,
i think i found a bug in CyanogenMod6, because i couldn't import any Contacts from my SIM Card. Tried it with three different SIM Cards and with several restarts, but it didn't work out.
But then i tried CyanogenMod5 and it worked there.
That's why i think that is not some mistake by me but it's a bug in CyanogenMod6.
Please post, if it works or does not work for you.
I've got a german original G1/ Dream (no Roger's or something), everything else works great btw!
Regards
PS: Oh and i searched everywhere for that bug, but SIM and contacts and import and copy didn't seem do be words that a searches works for. Don't ask my why. So i just posted it here, hope it's not a known bug.
It worked, after going into flight mode and out again. So it isn't a Cyanogen bug after all. Although i remember using this function in 1.5 oder 1.6 official and it worked without reseting (but maybe that was just by chance). However, this should be included when showing "no contacts on your SIM-Card" so users know what to do to solve this problem. It would be great to have it in there..
Regards
i have the same problem where none of my imported contacts will appear in contacts.. did the same thing as you did but it still doesnt work
got same problem
got same problem
this site /showthread.php?t=771199
flight mode didn't help in the 5 version, on the 6 version no contacts on sim card, it has something to do with the 3g sim cards, the 2g works fine.
also to this problem there is a problem receiving sms with the 3g sim

I can't approve that. I've got a 3G card and it works perfectly, receiving SMS too. Did you try Contact2SIM App as well? It's free, try it out.
Oh and i did the flight mode trick right after booting, after i saw that the Dream couldn't find contacts on SIM. Maybe it must be done first or something?
Importing also worked in the latest 5 version for the Dream for me. Even without the flight trick. But that might have just been by chance.
i have the same problem on Cyanogen 6 on my HTC LEGEND... I try one thing and it works fine just after!
When you try to import your contacts from SIM, your phone contact list is probably empty... Create a new contact (just name & phone) and then try to re-import from SIM.
Is it ok for you?

I didn't need to do that. However it might work, but that does not solve the problem, that the Dream can't find any contacts on the SIM, if you have that problem.
Nope.. nothing seems to work, whether it be importing of of the SD card, flight mode on/off nor creating a new contact then importing.. last time i had this problem was with 5.0.7 and what i had 2 do to stop it was get 5.0.8

I don't think that you have to wait for a new version, because it works for other phones/ SIM-cards...
However, did you try Contact2SIM app? It's free and in the market.

yeah.. it works quite well, but doesnt help seeing contacts
everyone, there is nothing to go and look for. just import contacts once either from sim or from sd card. still it will not show contact while it has imported already. you only need to change display in cnotact. In the contacts app, press menue to see options, choose display options. then go to google click on the google account that you might have configured and under this tab Check the box "all others Contats"
this will start showing all the contacts imported so far.
I can confirm this is a real issue for me too.
HTC LEgend RC2 build 66 here too and no SIM card contacts available....
I _did_ try (but hell why?!) the flight procedure crap, no success.
Of course I managed to get all my contacts back probably thanks to many side effects of the differents titanium-bckup, SD card/V-card, google-i-know-who-you-called-last-summer servers, gmail accounts, ....well all thoses things I wish would have never had my contacts info stored 'somewhere' (although, again, they _did_ save me here...)
This custom ROM is fast, nice, froy'd and now can even allow me to phone people (funny for a smart-PHONE huh?! ;o) but I'd love to be sure I am reading my contacts from SIM (and ONLY SIM, but hey, this google-anger has nothing to do with the great cyanogen work...)
Thanx and Go on debugging dude!
On my T-Mobile G1, I had exactly the same problem: 'No contacts on SIM Card', even though importing worked on the 1.6 it had before I used Cyanogen 6.
I was worried that importing the contacts had deleted them for something...
I toggled Airplane Mode, and I can import the contacts just fine!
Oh just go into contacts choose display options press your google name scroll down and preess all contacts and it should appear post again if it works or not

thanks for aeroplane mode hint.worked perfectly

[Q] Increase internal memory

Hello
(sorry for bad english) (and sorry if i'm in the wrong topic)
I was lurking for some threads about increasing internal memory.
Nothing easy for me. lol so I'm making a new one.
I have a samsung galaxy ace, android 2.3 gingerbread. I have it since June or July. never had problems with it until 3 weeks ago +/-.
I never had many apps, and the apps that I had, all went to SD
Well, I downloaded Skype app and it began to fill the internal memory, I deleted it a few times, and I downloaded it again. I did that about 3 times. I thought that was the problem, some files were stored but I don't understand nothing about that.
Whenever I went to skype (the last time), it could just signal that the internal memory was full and I had to delete a few things, and then noticed that I could not receive messages.
I deleted skype forever, never downloaded it again. I now have 27MB free, I want to update the market and i can't, because it occupies just over 10mb.
Already deleted everything, and it is the same with 27mb free. thats okay, I can live with that. but I want to download more apps, and appears the samae thing.
I saw the topics about it, it says i need to format the phone, but I do not know how to do that, of course lol.
but if you guys know of any program or something of the genre, please tell me.
or please help me format my phone.
it's annoying like hell.
please.
thanks.

Photos not showing up after taking pictures

ok i searched this issue but found nothing useful or helpful to fix this but every picture i take seems to dissappear after a few minutes and all i get is a gray triangle with an ! mark inside it for all pictures taken by the camera. anyone else have this issue?
im on bady boyz rom
rooted s-offed
h/k m8
No body is having issues with pictures not displaying correctly?? Im on ViperONEM8 rom but it did this on the stock rom and badboyz as well. must not be rom related but i dont know so sum one have any ideas what the issue is? thanks
Have you tried changing the storage location? Also, are you restoring your gallery each time you try a new ROM? You could have the folder hidden on accident and as you restore the gallery that folder becomes hidden again. See if you cannot find the photos another way, for example: Quickpic or ES File Browser.

thank you for helping.
unfortunately yes i did try changing the storage location, in the camera app i changed it to ext sdcard & phone storage both same issue. also i used the Xposed module "Downloads2SD" & "Pictures2SD" both to change the location but still same issue. as for restoring my gallery, no i dont restore it at all when installing new rom. unless somehow it automatically restores from my google account but i dont think it does.
I also have used Root Browser & ES File Explorer to look in every directory on phone and sdcard for the pictures and they cant be found anywhere.
thanks again for replying and trying to help appreciate it much. any other ideas tho?

What happens when you use a different camera app? If that doesn't work either I would suggest an RUU. If an RUU doesn't work I would suggest returning the phone.

still not working with other camera apps. im gonna try RUUing once and see if it still does it. i took a few pics today and all seemed fine until i went to view them later on then they were just displaying the gray triangle thing.. one pic was there and viewed fine one sec then the next its just like the others. i just looked in the gallery now and it shows the previews of these pics but i tap to open them and get the triangle again. its weird & really frustrating i took tons of great pics over the time with this phone and lost them all from this, except of course the stupid test shots ive taken of my wall or whatever pointless shots.. they seem to stay fine its just the important ones that wont.. aarrrghhh gonna RUU right now.
here is a screenshot of what displays for the pictures.. View attachment 2782818
come on isnt anybody having issues with pictures similiar at all?!
pictures i take sometimes show with parts of it having a section thats gray.. usually more then 50% of the pic is that way otherwise there is no pic just a black screen with the ! as shown in previous post here. can anyone please help me. ive lost a lot of important good pics due to this.
you all have always helped me with any issues ive had.. thanks for all that. and thanks for your help with this.

I am having the same issue i moved all my pictures to the external storage card to free up space but now the pics are in limbo i cant find them i just have the triangle where they use to be. the same thing holds true for apps
im beginning to suspect that KK write protection with the external sdcard is the culprit for this but im on viperonem8 and have tried the fixes i found that are suppose to fix the write protection issue and still having same issues. so anyone have any working fixes at all please let us know thanks

I am having the exact same issue and it is frustrating as hell. Especially when I get a great picture, then I go to show someone and it is ****ING GONE.. The only way that I can seem to save them if is when I take them, I immediately share them. After doing extensive research, I have narrowed it down to 2 possible issues.
1) The SD card is somehow corrupted, I purchased a 64GB SD card from eBay and I just recently read about an SD card scandal that was going on which could be the culprit. To test this, I am first going to try with a smaller card that I know works. If that doesn't work, I am going to have the pictures stored on the phone and see if that keeps them.
2) This problem really started to show itself after I downloaded an app called OneGallery, I don't really know if that has anything to do with it, or if it is completely coincidence. If replacing the SD card doesn't work, deleting this app will be the next step.
I love the phone too much to just turn it in or swap it out.
