Are the apps stored on the sd card
?
If they are move then back to internal storage, there is plenty on this device do shouldn't be a problem, if not pass

Well I assume it's a bug as I also had this problem, but with this device there is loads of internal memory, so no real need to locate any applications on the sd card, unless they are massive.

For you query you have mentioned that you’re having a problem with the shortcut display image of the application on your home screen.

To remove 3rd party Application please do the following steps: 1. from Home Screen Tap Menu 2. Settings>Application 3. Manage Application 4. Choose Specific Application you want to uninstall We advise you to please soft reset your phone. To soft reset please do the following steps: 1. Please turn off your phone. 2.

Market has vodafone branding

Decided to go onto the markeylt to have a look for some alps as you do when I noticed the now on the market where it has the 3 short cut options apps games and my apps now shoes apps games and vodafone.... On there is a bunch of apps they reccomend, apps I already know about and don't use because I don't want to so I was a little annoyed to see the my apps button removed
You branded vodafone

I have a thread open about this. Restart the phone and it goes back to normal. I don't think we were supposed to see this yet. I'm expecting it to become permanent in the future, perhaps to coincide with a ROM update.

Unbranded handsets still say 'HTC' instead of My Apps - looks like it's going no matter what
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15401386&postcount=15
Ive just noticed an app in my app drawer called Vodafone Rescue. Im sure it wasnt there before. As anyone else got this?
Found its description HERE.
I think it can be uninstalled but im sure ive never noticed that before.
yea you are right this wasnt there before, I noticed this on my first sensation when I sent it back and got a new one it wasnt there, it appeared when I had to restart my phone, the Vodafone Branding came on the market and the Rescue service also appeared.
I assume its remote access if you are having problems, voda can take controle of your phone and sort any issues.
Can it be related to which SIM card you have in your phone? I have a Vodafone branded Sensation but still with the SIM card of my current operator (going to Vodafone in a month) and in the market it still says My Apps.
I would assume that vodafone send down some form of 'Ping' at some point that adds Vodafone Rescue and changes the market menu link, but I cant be 100% sure, but I would assume it has something to do with the sim
Unbranded FW now says 'HTC' instead of My Apps but you can still get it by going Menu>My Apps
cheers eddie, i feel the removal of apps on android is a drawn out task, I know using launcher pro enables you to drag and drop apps inot the bin to uninstall but I would think this should be a standard feature
Just had this chat with Htc:
I do have rescue but i can't see any changes to the market, and i have restarted phone recently.... Hmmm....
the quicker we get s-off with perma root, the better. I dont like how vodafone have the ability and right to install their crap without permission or warning, on a device I own and that I have paid for.
Custom unbranded rom please!

SD and phone storage

(Q)
I've just done the 2.3.4 OTA update and when I go to settings > SD/phone storage > make space, It says = unable to find an activity to handle this action.
Can anyone help ,still a bit new to all this.
THANKS
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Just tried and mine said the exact same thing. Its either because you don't have any apps on your sd card (I don't either), there are no apps' caches that need to be cleared, or HTC just didn't implement it well. It probably wouldn't have did much for you anyway that you can't manually do. If I find out something else, I'll let ya know.
Thanks Smoochiezz24 ,
Just to check out to see if there was nothing to clean I downloaded Android assistant and there was,so I left it ,went back to settings (sd/phone storage) and same thing.I do have apps on phone and card so i have no clue.
I appreciate you letting me know if you have any joy and the same goes here.
Nice one.

All sorted,my brother just came round who's good with all this biz.
= back up pro (from market) backed everything and rebooted phone,60sec later got notification saying update available for 'makespace app' and all sorted,thanks
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I was just coming back to the thread to let you know that I got an update notification for the more space app. Looks like u sorted out your problem already though. Always good to have multiple options.
for some one who might have yet this problem:
simply go to
settings: apps: all
and enable "low storage wizard"
you might have made it disable it before

Google search crappy update

Did the new update also mess up the searching capabilities of your phone? Try to.search sth in the music library..
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Damn it did. Music search does not work anymore Let's see if I can get rid of the bloody update...
Can you describe more of what you mean? I can still search music and everything just fine.
No u cant from e.g music player, open the music player and go to album/artist/all songs section and try to press the search button.. ive been reading a lot of negative feedback for the new search update, apparently it messed up all htc models and samsung aswell

You need to go into the settings in go into search and go into searchable items and check music and there you go. It didn't mess anything up.

U2 is one of my favorite bands did u try by the steps I mentioned? Open music player -> open all songs directory -> press search

Hi Xxul, I'd never even tried that method before to be honest and you're right, nothing happens when i press the search button when following the steps you wrote. I have to say I don't feel I'm missing anything as I never knew I could do this anyway but I can see it could be a frustration if you're used to it. Wonder what the logic was behind the change then
We can both be ashamed in our choice of music then too lol...

Cant find Fujitsu arrow s widget

Wondering if anyone out there has seen the new Fujitsu arrow s range of phones, Google images and you will see on the home screen there is a widget. The widget has time date weather pedometer etc on it, I've been trying for months to find it but with no luck anyone have any ideas where I can get it as its a all in one home screen clock. So far I've googled it emailed Fujitsu with no luck, asked Fujitsu uk mobile phone dept who didn't even know the phones were coming to Europe. Hope the good guys and gals on xda can help me.
Cheers in advance.

hi
i've the new fujitsu arrows µ and i've this widget but how can i retrieve it ?
i'm unable to root this phone.
You can Plug it into a pc and browse the internal memory and copy and paste the apk to pc then send it as email iam sure you can. Someone here will correct me if iam wrong. Or there must be a link on web somewhere to get it... I can't find it anywhere I've spent days looking for it

try to put them in your app folder with root explorer and set permissions
They are in my downloads folder like all rest of the apps and when I try to set permissions I tick all the boxes and OK it then still wont install. If I go back into permissions they have default back to how they were before I ticked all the boxes. What's the best root explorer and easy way to change permissions.

External sd storage

Ok so don't flame me I did search the forums with the app.
Does anyone know how to change setting for apps and downloads to go to the sd card and not on the phone?

From what I've seen, it's not an easy task & not even always desirable. Many apps are designed by the Devs to Have to be installed on the internal sd. Since you've searched, you're probably aware of some apps that allow you to move some (but not all) apps to the external sd card.
Have a look at this link;

And as for searching, Google is sometimes a better place to search than xda..
