View 20 RepliesWhenever I take a picture it saves to my cloud my email my Picasa everywhere how can I make it only save onto my phone and then if I want it to backup on the other accounts how can I manually do that? I'm tired of every picture I take save everywhere so then I have to go delete them all individually...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've read that disabling push for email saves a bit of battery so I have it set to fetch every hour.
My question is, I have push activated for the official Facebook app on my phone so would enabling push for the iphone email client make any difference to battery life as I have it enabled for facebook anyway?
Ever since I've left the location on (before I always left it off and just turned it on when I used the GPS), I've noticed a big drain on my battery. I only get 2 hours SOT as opposed to around 5 like before.

I have tested all settings and I have found that the one that does the job while preserve the battery life the most is the Wifi and Cell signal only option, in other phones it's called Power Saving Mode. I've been using this option all the time for the past couple of months and it really uses very low battery, barely noticeable, this way I keep my location on to be able to use the locate device and other location services. I only change to high accuracy (GPS, WIFi and Cell) for my daily 5k runs or if I need to use Google maps or any other Maps apps. There are people who use GPS only but I've noticed that it increases (obviously) the gpsd service in my battery stats and it drains battery a lot more than Power saving Mode.
Location History is not needed for the Location Services to work, this is just a Google Service to enable other features. Take a look at this information. Google’s Location History is Still Recording Your Every Move.
Until mid April, when we had 2 separate options, Location reporting and Location History, I had location history on but Reporting off as it was besides the Screen, the number 1 battery drainer on Android, and I frankly didn't want to be "reporting" Google all my moves, but now that they incorporated both into just one setting, I just prefer to turn it off. Check this other link. Understanding Google's Android location tracking | Android Central.
This is my first thread and im writing to know if i am the only person who is facing the problem of no being able to access that part of battery setting wherein you get to see the abnormal usage by any app and there a button "Details". Problem that i face is that button 'details' is not click able any more. And since the day it went inactive my battery is draining like crazy. I'll attach pics of same window as well as the processes that's currently running.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI was trying to get this new Facebook Places working and did something that seemed to work for a few 8520 users - Update the OS through the Desktop Software. I updated to the latest one and when I go Options > Advanced Options > Location Settings (It used to be GPS Settings or something similar, not Location Settings) I used to get GPS none and be able to switch my Location Services off and on. Since updating, I only get GPS none and Location Services off, no option to change either.
BB Maps used to find my location fine, Foursquare was good at finding very nearby locations so it must work using something other than GPS. I've updated everything only to try and get bloody FB Places working and it's not even worth it, I can't even use BB Maps now!I've tried re-installing maps and Foursquare but neither can find my location anymore so I believe it was something to do with the update.
I'm looking at Smart Settings but it won't do anything because it says my home location isn't set even though it's turned on in location services.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhile browsing I have stumbled on two sets of settings, that i can't find any more:
1. battery saving settings...not just "make sure to turn off unused apps". I mean "go to menu options and select..." .
2. internet browsing settings...similar to above, but geared toward browser settings.
Does turning off location reporting and location history under Google location reporting disable the ability to find if lost?

I am hearing various conflicting statements about leaving the "Location Services" on. Some people say it burns the battery, others say the effect is negligible.

After updating to Android L, I noticed I could not switch my location setting to Battery Saving. I was wondering if this is a bug with L or if I'm doing something wrong...

I'm an iPod 4G owner and just purchased an iPhone 3GS.Now, I made a lot of progress with some games but the saves aren't on my iPhone, so I have to start over( like 100 Floors, Mini Cars, etc.)I have sync'd all the apps, some games do continue, but other don't. So does any one know how to transfer the saves? I don't care how.
P.S. I still have the iPod, didn't changed anything on it.

I have a Sony Ericsson Aino. I bought a new SIM card and now when I receive SMS' it always saves them to SIM memory not to the Phone Memory.I want to save them messages to the phone memory because the SIM can only store a few messages. What I have tried to do:I have done a Phone Repair via PC Suite.I have gone to Menu -> Messaging -> Messages -> Settings -> Save to (Selected Phone memory).These still haven't solved my problem.

For a while the camera and photos worked just fine, but now whenever I take a picture, it never saves to my pictures folder. Unlike other issues I've read about in other posts, there is no placeholder, error icon or ANYTHING in with my other photos, they just simply aren't there.
The other day I somehow mysteriously took a few photos that DID save to my folder, but just now I looked back and they have disappeared.
Camera worked until a week ago. Now when I take a photo, I see it at the far left in the tray but when I click on view photos, it says no photos.I have reformatted and repaired both the media card and built in storage but the same thing still happens.

When I go to take a picture, it takes the picture normally, but when it saves it, the picture has neon lines all over it. It snaps the picture fine, but once it says "saving" at the bottom of the screen, I get these crazy neon colors and lines all over it.

2. I took a photo and then I checked the file - it has resolution 3264x1832 but only 823k
It is too small for this resolution!!! If I will print it by 10x15, 20x30 or large it will be horrible picture.What should I check or set in my phone for taking nice photo for the big resolution?
Is anyone using the car finder app on there Bionic? How do you limit the number of locations it saves?

I can turn it on, take a couple of pictures, and after a few hours it'll somehow be turned off again.
