Doesn't work for need for speed mw. I'm guessing it will work on small apps or games that don't need additional files. Hopefully will save me a bit of space until I have an easy option for rooting.

I'll try it again but it moved all the data then when I launched it, I was being prompted to download all the data.

Didn't work for me either. Nfs wants to download again.

You will also have to start from scratch if you want to update the app in the market. Google only wants app content in the internal storage to avoid customer complaints due to swapping cards or using bad cards and wondering why the app vanished or does not work. It was also due to security. Not my words, but the Android team at their dev forums.

Rescan SD Media

I added and renamed media files via my computer over USB and Android will not recognize them.
How do you rescan the SD for media in Kitkat?

This app does it for me.

Tried others but they all didn't do anything. This is probably because kitkat handles media scanning differently than older versions of android.

Thank you. I'll give it a try.

Micro SD help?

So I'm having an issue with my 64 g micro SD in my sprint note 2. I can add things to it just fine, but after an hour or so it corrupts songs to 2 seconds and says "sorry, this audio file not supported". If I out folders in it, it empties them. If an app tries to add its data to it, it almost completely wipes it clean. It's formatted to fat32. I've never had problems with my 32 g SD card. I'm not certain of the brand, it just says "hc" on it. Any suggestions?

Something else weird to "note" here would be that whenever I download music and put it on the SD card, it does the music jack up, but if I copy it over and zip the music and leave the zip on my internal memory, it doesn't mess up.

Most likely your 64gb is bad. Especially if the 32gb worked with out problems.

I thought so. I figure it was just because it might be incompatible.

App for sending videos

Is there anything out there that allows the sending of decent sized videos to each other over the Internet (wifi)?

I was kinda hoping for something more like a messenger app capable of doing it as my mum wants to be able to use it and she's about as computer literate as a blind fish

Hmmm. Good point. I've not seen anything else myself. Im sure there will be options on play. Hopefully someone can recommend

Tell her to use whatsapp+.. The file size limit is 50mb...
Other option is Telegram..

This probably is the best option since all she'll have to do is click the link.

Any way to limit cache file size in Chrome?

I use chrome almost everyday to kill time, browsing the webs and everything I could do in chrome to kill time
The more I uses chrome, the bigger the cache file size. Is there any way to limit this cache files to 100ish Mb? so I don't need to clear its cache for every few day

I'm guessing you're using a 16Gb Nexus 5?

There is no way. You have to use Android's built in cache cleaner or another app to do it.

Yep the 16 GB version has less space.
