Hello, I have an LG Fathom (winmo 6.5.3) and there seems to be something wrong with my SMS, when i receive messages they are automatically saved to the sim card instead on the phone memory, when the messages reach about 30 or 40 there will be an error saying the sim memory is full, if i dont delete any sms my phone wont be able to receive sms which is pretty annoying
is there a way to set my default storage for SMS to the phone memory? thanks

Try modifying the following keys:
HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings
" [AttachPath] "=string:\Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments
" [PropertyPath] "=string:\Storage Card\Inbox
Note :
1. For the paths above to work, you need to create the folders prior to initiating this registry change.
2. Do not remove the storage card while you are using the Messaging application or it is running in the background or you may corrupt the attachments or the Inbox.
let me know if helps
i tried your method but it doesnt seem to fix the problem, anyways thank you very much for replying
i also tried editing the storage card part so that it would save it to the phone memory but still no luck
anyone who can help? i tried hard-reset but still nothing
Might be something with ur sim... since u already reset the cell u could always flash to a factor/custom rom ro reset it again just in case the 1st reset was didnt completely correctly. Back in my wm days ive found the app sktools to be useful...it may have a tweak that could help.
Hello people.
What's my problem:
I own a Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini St15i and today when i plugged it in my USB it said there was a new software update. I have accepted it and it passed without any problems. BUT after i turned my phone on and my friend sent me a SMS msg it wasnt stored on my messages anymore, there is just last message before u updated my phone. I checked if i have memory, coz i thought i was out of it, but there was 98 MB left on phone memory still. Then i asked my brother to send me SMS to check if it is working with him, but still it was same problem, message wasn't stored -_-
I triend turning off my phone, then turn on, removing battery, but nothing sloved that bug, and that happend just after i updated it, so it's some software bug. My brother has same phone as me but he didnt have any problems after update tho, and he got his update 15 days ago, and i got it today, i dunno why i had to wait that much for my update. Anyway i plugged USB on my phone and went in Sony Ericsson PC Companion and click "Repair" software. It said all contacts, msgs, and some more things will be "overwriten", then i went in settings to move all my applications to SD card coz i thought i could will still have them on my phone after Repair, coz it's memory card, not phone memory.
After it "repaired" the software i lost EVERYTHING, ALL applications even after i moved them to my SD card, and now when i browse my memory card i dont see where that applications are, i checked all folders but there are none of them! And what's weird it says that i have only 140 MB free on my card, even if it is 2 GB of total memory, and when i select all files on it it says total used space is 750 MB, so where is the rest of the space (it should be: 2 GB - 750 MB = around 1,25 GB, but it says i only have 140 MB free -_-)? I guess it is in backuped apps but i cant find them, anywhere. I thought they will still be there after repair coz it said only files from phone memory will be "overwriten"
SMS is working like it should now tho.
Any help please? I will destroy it, im totaly mad now coz i guess i have to install all applications again.
My phone isnt rooted btw.
Kind regards!
This phone has a hardware problem with SD cards. I tried to go to the store.
You can try going to the store and getting it replaced, or see if they have any solutions.
Although I don't have the same phone as you, whenever I flash a new rom/update, I take out my external SD card ... just incase, and if I have the time, I'll even throw a backup on my computer ... just incase.
Better safe that sorry.
Hope that helps.
Hello all!
I have a runbo x5 mobile as work mobile.
first question, the phone have internal memory abour 500mb and another 2gb called phone storage, and also SD card.
Now to the problem, I cant move apps to sd card just between internal and phone storage. photos saves to SD card.
Im sure there is other phones whit this type of storage solution but have serched forum and cant find any.
then the other problem, there is alot of language for system. And I use swedish so far so good but when typing the spelling and input keyboard there is no swedish, not to big problem tho there is 3 keys missing åäö, you can get them by long press a or o but takes time when you type text msg.
So can you get more language to the phone or is it just w8 for update.
system runs a clean 4.0.4 android, vanilla some may call it.
hope someone has a tip or trix for this

Try and test app 2 sd(belive its called something else now) and see if the app can move the apps you installed to the sd card. I used it before with succes on phones with low internal memory. And try with a third party keybord(swiftkey, slideit) or long press on space to change the language on the keybord. If it dosen't come up a selection go into the settings for input and keybords and install swedish as language. Thinking of getting this phone aswell and if you have any input on the phone it would be appreciated.
Hoppas du får det att funka

Brilliant whit the keyboard, now åäö works and swe dictionary works fine :good:
Still no luck whit app2sd (appMgr3) that app just tells you what app you can move to sd or phone, and when you press a app you get derected to systemsettings/apps/phone storage. You can chose app and move it but just to Phone storage or internal Storage. so eather built in SD card or phone memory, not SD card in SD card slot. will search for more apps and diffrent type of app handling, tho i dont know if its possible.
You can move movies and photos whit any file manager to SD card but not the app, and only 2gb mem on phone.
otherwise the phone is a great one, i work as a farmer and therefor I need a rugged phone.
good sound quality on calls loud and clear, and all I have talked to says the noice canceller works good as well so they dont hear noice in backround (the phone has 2 mics one for backround noice and one to pick up what you say)
the phone is fast do to "vanilla" android and overall strong signal to gsm/3g net.
battery is amazing, heavy usage i still have over 60% left on battery in the end of a day, normalusage (5-10 calls @ 3-5 min, some sms and check mail) normaly uses about 10% battery in 8 hours.
just ask if there is something you wonder.

Sorry for not replying to the original questions, but it's related to the phone.
I am really interesting in getting one, especially for outdoor usage. I would love to know what GPS chipset is mounted on the unit, because I could not find any info about it.
Since it's probably impossible to discover that , I would kindly ask you: how long it takes for it to get a GPS fix with no GPS-A aid?
As far as you could tell, is the signal stable in woods and in canyons, even urban ones? I mean... road with tall buildings. Do you get an accurate coordinates reading there?
As far as you could test.
Thank you very much!

Hi,
I have been using the Runbo X5 for two weeks now - so this is not an extensive test.
I use it quite a lot to play ingress, and must admit the GPS has some hickups.
Sometimes it finds me in a few seconds, sometimes it needs a few minutes to find my position.
I had a HTC EVO 3D for 2 years before buying the Runbo, and while Runbo's GPS is clearly usable, it seems to me it has more glitches than the HTC's.
Again, I tested only one Runbo and it has only been for two weeks.

The GPS antenna is pretty good but it has been placed in a dumb position, that is bottom left.
It is thought to be kept horizontal, to be used as a car GPS.
This is junk for an OUTDOOR phone - I want to geocache with it, and the like. Just try it: hold your phone with your right hand when you have a good satellite fix.
Then swap hand.
Your fix quality will degrade instantly.
It is a oudoor phone for right-handed only.

If you still have this issue: I solved it by modifing two entries in /etc/vold.fstab files (you need to be root to do that). Just find the uncommented lines containing "scard" and "sdcard2" and swap those two words, then reboot. It worked for me and now my external SD is seen as the "external storage" as expected.
Remember to move your data from the internal storage to the SD before rebooting or apps would not find their data anymore - they will search for it into the SD now.
If you just want my copy of vold.fstab I can attach it here.
Cheers

Can you please guide me how to do this?
Tried to root my q5
But it didn't work
Anyone had success on doing it?
My wife has just acquired a GT -18150 from her sister and after clearing the old info I transferred the contacts from her old Nokia to the samsung phone memory and all seemed to work well but today the contacts are only available from the sim card memory but not the phone memory. My grandaughter was trying to alter the font size for messaging and may have done something else. How can I ensure that the contacts button uses the phone memory rather than the sim card? I still have the contacts saved on the pc so do I need to reinstall them or is there a way of making the phone use the phone memory?
I have ARHD 7.3 installed and keep getting the storage is low notification constantly. This must be the system storage but I don't know how to check it.
I have nearly 400MB free from the 1.15GB user data partition
SD has 6GB free
Every app that can be moved to SD has been moved
Disabled the built in mail app as I read that it stores emails in the system partition
Uninstalled dropbox and facebook app
The only thing that seemed to help was to go to Storage and select the 2nd Make more space option and clear the "Temporary files from HTC apps" (currently 7.02GB). The problem with that is:
TuneIn radio app stops working with "System Audio" error message
Skype stops working properly too
If you do a 4ext/nandroid backup and reflash, the problems go away but then come back as soon as you restore the backup you took
Don't what else to try. Help!
The way I see it, low internal memory is a hardware limitation. Considering this is a 5 year old phone, there is little that can be done especially as newer apps are more bloated. The problem is even worse if you are using Kitkat/Lollipop based ROMs since the OS itself takes up a lot of space.
One workaround which you can try if you can manage to get a high speed SD card (UHS-I) is to increase the data partition size. Check this mod for more details http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-sensation/development/mod-turbo-data-8gb-data-partition-t3036742 . I myself am waiting for a new card to prolong my phone's lifespan.
