Mysterious 'android' folder in device memory that cant be deleted
hi... i have a bb q5 and been using it since 2-3 months now... there is an 'android' folder that appears in the 'misc' folder of the device memory. i cant get rid of this from the bb file explorer as well as from the laptop. when i try to del it, it say permission denied. i guess it started when one of my friends used my sd card in their android based phones. this folder contains all those folders that are there in the device memory like photos, camera, music etc. and some other folders like dcim, notifications. sometimes it shows 11 items inside and sometimes 12 or 13. i dont know if it's a bug or something but it seems quite irritating as it contains nothing space wise. i cant del it from my laptop bcos when i press del, nothing really happens and its still there... so pls can anyone help get rid of this...
It's my understanding that folder is there for access by the Android runtime software.
Leave it.

Is there a way to sync you email account to all you devices, so that if I delete a message on my iPad it will also be deleted from my inbox on my Mac?
O ly if the email account is IMAP or exchange based. A POP account will not accomplish this.

i have a htc wildfire, and if i try to install firefox from android market place it says that my device is not compatible with firefox. how can i install it ?
According to a random website... the HTC Wildfire S uses a Qualcomm MSM7225 processor. This processor unfortunately does not support the full ARM version 7 instruction set, so Firefox cannot run on it.

A fix for new market's wrong message that firefox exceeds device memory.
On my Evo 4g 2.21 the new market won't let me download the new firefox. The message that it exceeds device memory is wrong. I down loaded it from an Evo 3d to drop box. I then installed it on my Evo 4g. It installed and runs. The market is faulty.
Good work, nice post/tip, thanks!

Insufficient Device Memory to Update to 10.2.1
I went to install the new update (10.2.1.537) onto my Q5 through my phone, received the notification telling me device storage was almost full and the install failed.
I then cleared out my device memory, moving everything I had access to onto media card or simply deleting it.
When I go to install the update now before it begins it asks me to free up around 1.1-1.4GB (the exact value varies between attempts) of space on device memory even though I already have 1.5GB free and it says the size is 1008MB.
I have very few apps installed and most aren't very big (all below 50MB if you exclude BlackBerry Runtime for Android.) I also tried deleting email accounts and message history in Whatsapp but they made very little difference.
Of the 8GB total space 6.3GB is taken up by "Other data" and looking in file manager seemed to show 3GB of this was from the Device/misc/android folder in the form of hidden files. (Not within any of the folders inside the android folder.) All other device folders are completely empty as far as I can see.
Any advice of how to make up the space so I can upgrade would be really appreciated as I'm at a bit of a loss now.
Thanks!Hi, sorry it took a while to reply but this was a bit of a lengthy process. Worked like a charm though, thank you ever so much!

Where is Device Central that exist in CS5 in Cs6 ?
in Adobe Flash Cs5 there is Device central to choose and test Air android with different resolution and brand
but i cant find this on Flash CS6 !!
so how can i test my Air 3.2 project in various resolutions and devices ??Since you're using Android, although it's not quite as easy, you may want to consider using the Android SDK tools themselves to test on multiple emulated devices. It has a SDK manager to let you test against any Android OS you want on an actual emulated ARM core or it also has an Intel Atom x86 core (runs much faster on an x86 system) usually for each OS firmware version as well. It comes with some default configurations for devices but you're free to create your own device from the ground up. You then use the command line tools to install your APK into the emulator and then take it for a spin. You won't find better emulation than this.
Here's the Nexus 7 default config running and I'm using the Intel Atom driver rather than the ARMv7 because ARM emulation is rather slow. You can even emulate cameras or use webcams for them, allow it to use your OpenGL capabilities, etc:
Again as you can see I'm running the Nexus 7 on OS 4.2.2 using Intel Atom. You just select your configured profile and click "Start" and an emulator will come up.
This all comes with the Android SDK which you can download here:
Android SDK | Android Developers
The device configuration panel is pretty comprehensive. First you configure a base device:
Then based on that you can create variations:
This lets you target very finely and get a real idea of how your app will work in many different OS's, hardware configs and several environment factors (low space, high space, fast/slow GPU, hardware controls, hardware keyboard, etc). Give it a shot! -
My husband has an SD card he uses for his trail camera. We put it in our mac book pro and can look at the pictures but when I go to move them to the trash it tells me that the files can't be moved to the trash because they cant be deleted. I have Nikon camera software on my mac and it pics up and asks if you want to import the pics and if you want them deleted from the devices afterwards. I tried that but I get a message afterwards that says that some files were not able to be deleted. When I go to check, none of them were deleted. How can I clean of the SD Card? I do have a camera I could stick it in, it would just be nice to know how to do it from my mac. Also, the files are jpg. if that matters.
AFAIK cameras offer their own built-in format utility for inserted SD cards. You should use that. Otherwise, refer to the manual that came with your camera to determine precisely how your SD cards need to be formatted to work properly. Personally, I'd suggest Partition Scheme: MBR, and Filesystem: FAT32.
Try to limit the number of formats you perform on the SD cards, though, as you're reducing their lifespan. I believe formatting causes re-writes to a portion of the SD card that has fewer read/write cycles than the rest of the card as a whole. -
How do I clean up mail in my icloud? I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room). When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room. Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there? If so, how do I do it? Also, on a related subject, why does my mail not sync accross all devices? ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices? How can I change this?

I do have the Time Capsule and spoke to Apple Care here in Sydney about it yesterday. They told me my mail is not backed up there unless I create a special folder. I just tried ringing them again but Apple Care is closed today...
Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule -
When I republish my site the updates save to a different folder within public_html so it cant be viewed..... How do I change this?
My site is up and running but if i make changes on iWeb they get put in a new folder within the public_html folder. I then click on this and they are all showing in there but i have to manually move them to the correct folder for them to be shown on my website. The folder that is made is always named whatever I enter into the SITE NAME section on the screen where the ftp information is entered.
How can I get the updates to go directly into the public folder without it make a new folder? I have checked the settings but there isn't much I can see.
ALSO......
The names of the folders come up in the domain bar... how do i change this?
thanks

dear, i have a question please. if i want to keep a folder of pictures in my icloud account; then delete this folder off my phone would it be deleted from icloud account too?? cause im running out of memory on my iphone
thanksYou can't use icloud to store photos. There's a service called photo stream which is used to sync photos from one device to another, but this can't be used to store photos permanently.
Always sync photos from a device to your computer, Then you can delete them from the device.
Read this... import photos to your computer...
