I'm not familiar with Maemo (Linux), but in Windows there are temporary folders that start filling up and need emptying every so often.
Now I've installed and uninstalled a few apps on my N900 and opened a few email attachments and in Windows there would be left-over temporary files that should automatically be deleted but aren't, and because of this there are windows apps designed to remove all unnecessary temp files and folders as well as cleaning out the registry.Does the same sort of thing happen in Linux/Maemo? Does Maemo use a Registry that can get 'dirty'?
When viewing an email attached image, I can view its details which tell me it's stored in a folder called something like '69987334' inide a folder called 'var'. Where is this 'var' folder? And is the image and folder deleted when I close the viewer or am I building up a collection of viewed attachments?
Is there an app which can delete temp files automatically. Temp files are taking hugh amount of space on my phone. Any way to find out which apps are creating temp files....
I recently purchased a new N900 phone. After installing pc suite and connecting the phone to pc suite, I did not know what I did, but I found out my device now has all duplicate files/folders such as 2 video files, 2 music files .etc and they are all identical.
I have 8 applications on my Nokia N97 Mini that I cannot delete.When I click on them the file just flashes, and when i try to delete them the phone says it cant as they are a "corrupted file".I tried, soft reset, hard reset (factory reset) and it doesn't help, the files are still there!All I can do with them is move them around different folders.Also when using application manager it doesn't find them, so I cant even delete using that!Please can someone help?
I just installed Kaspersky mobile, and after a scan I've seen more than 18000 jpegs in E:system, a folder that I cannot access from phone or via Nokia Suite. Is there any way I can browse that folder and delete unwanted files? I think I got lots of useless files there after I installed Nokia Belle since lots of applications dissapeared. Also, I'm trying to see the hidden process that runs on my phone and I have no idea how because that dont shows in the application list. I dont know how to free more space on C: , got 46 Mb free and I dont know to free up more space.
I inadvertently hid some media folders, including some photos, videos, ringtones, and documents, and now can't get them back... I tried Media/Explore/Show All/Properties, but the "Unhide" checkbox is grayed out.
I'm trying to backup my phone to flash a stock LP (to try to fix some problems with the battery) but I'm having this strange problem.When I connect my phone to the pc I can see most of the folders, but not all of them, and a lot of files doesn't seem to be there.On the phone, with Explorer, I can see everything so I don't understand what could be the issue.
I have over 150 photos in the Pictures Folder on my Blackberry Torch 9800 and after importing them to my PC, I want to delete them from my BB to regain space and memory.. I can delete these photos one by one following directions in the Guide but it does not make sense to repeat this step 150 times and there must be a quicker way to go about it.
What I want to do is to delete the entire contents of that Pictures Folder in one step. I have looked into the BB Torch User Guide Ver 6.0 and in Help for the BB Desktop Software and have not found any directions on deleting entire folders or multiple files in a folder in one step.
A fellow I work with owns a Xenon. He received a .jpg from someone that he wanted to move into a file folder.So he creates the folder but then can't figure out how to move the file INTO it.Menu options, touch-dragging, holding down the icon for the image hoping for a menu nothing.He sees that he can move the file between phone memory and his SD card... but he doesn't want to do that. JUST wants to move the file into the file folder he made.
On Win 7 when I connect my phone to the computer some files and folders don't show up even though they are indeed there. Is this a compatibility or driver issue?
I have rooted and installed the custom recovery everything is working fine, but this is just a little weird.
I have just tried to backup and update my iphone to iOS 5.1. The backup seems to have worked but when it came to restoring the iphone, I think the hard disk ran out of space and so it failed. I saw this and so I freed up around 3Gb of disk space and I tried it again. It again failed. Again I noticed that there was no space left on the hard disk. I assumed that to continue the restore it probably won't need that much more space (as it had already done most of the work) so I freed up a few more Gb.
Again it failed. When it fails, itunes leaves the partially restored elements on my hard disk meaning that my 'Apple Computer' folder is now 28Gb!! I cannot afford to delete anything else from the hard disk. I am using a PC by the way. I have noticed that in the folder 'Apple ComputerMobileSyncBackup' has 5 folders in it which is the same amount that I tried to restore the iphone (before the last restore attempt there were 4 folders). These folders amount to 20Gb. From this I am assuming that the actual backup that I made is infact in 'Apple ComputeriTunesMobile Backups'. Can I delete the folders in 'MobileSyncBackup'? This would free up 20Gb of disk space giving me enough to properly restore (in theory!).
I am following the instructions to copy the files from my xoom to a windows 7 PC (64 bit). It does not copy all the files and folders. For example when I do the select all instructed I only get 4 of the 13GB of data. I saw that it only copied the music files in the directory music, none of the sub-directories. I could then select all the folders in music and copy them over (none of my music on the xoom has any DRM). I was still missing some files. When I hook the xoom up via the USB cable I get the following mounted:
ComputerXoomInternal Storage
I can not drag Internal Storage to the folder created on the windows 7 pc, it is just a red circle with a line thru it. I can select all the directories/folders under Internal Storage, but it randomly picks which directories/files/sub-directories to copy.
Perhaps a problem with the win 7 pc driver?
Before I send the xoom off (and I have my packing box already) I would like to back it up completely.
I tried a search with no luck.On the device or in desktop manager, how can I view the all the folders on the tour? I can't figure out how (probably a stupid question).Also, i created a sheet to go file on the tour and want to transfer it to my computer. I see no options in desktop manager how to do it. I am using a trial preium version of sheets to go on the bb.
Does anyone have some advice about deleting unnecessary files and folders left on the SD card after GB to ICS upgrade? There are files and folders dating back to 1979 - which sounds ridiculous, of course, but they may be current.
New iphone 4 indicates that temporary voicemail password has expired, select a new one. In trying to do so, the first step is to enter current password. I either did not have one, or I don't remember it. Could the prompt mean just to enter a new password?
The temperature display in my notification bar updates only sporadically. I noticed some discussion of this in the past, but no answers. I'd like to know either how to make it update more frequently or turn it off!
I bought a Xperia Pro today. So far I'm very impressed with it, with one exception.The screen's white color temp appears to be quite low, giving whites a yellow-ish tint.I'd say white color temp is a little lower than 6500K.is this normal?Or should I try and have the phone replaced by the store (DOA policy)?I compared the screen with both my old Motorola Milestone and my sister's Xperia Pro Mini and the whites are indeed yellow-ish, at least compared to them...Unfortunately, the Xperia Pro is not officially available here in Greece so I can't just walk into an electronics store and compare my pro's screen to another Pro demo unit...
1) I have recorded a couple of videos with my phone, They have sound when played on the phone but when transferred to my computer the sound is suddenly not there anymore. What has gone awry?
2) While the Triumph has way more memorythan my OV had I am finding myself hovering around the 30% point on the actual phone memory. When I imported my pic and video files to my computer from the phone tons of non-pictures (attachments, logos from sports teams who pages I might have opened once, twitter and facebook logos, logos from various apps, attachments from emails etc) showed up in the photo file on the computer. Could this be what is causing some of the issues? I am cleaning the cache quite regularly and 84% available on the SD card still (and it is still the one that came with the phone). And if it is part of the cause how do I get it to quit saving all of these things? I also can't seem to find where they are on the phone right now (tried using the Android Assist file manager).
When I download email attachments( docs,ppt files) , where does nokia store the files ? Does every download create a cache of the file even though I do not explicitly save it ? Please let me know

Symptom: Calendar takes ~5 seconds to load. Upon loading, another ~5 seconds till it will respond to any activity. I have it default to Agenda view, as I always have. Prior to v5.0.0.607 this was NEVER an issue. Work-around: If I turn "show free time" to ON, then it works perfect. Loads instantly, scrolls instantly, etc. However, turned OFF, it reverts to issue above.Problem is that I really don't want to show the free time on my view. Whom else has this issue, anyone? Does anyone know how to resolve this?
