Stupid Questions Thread- No Question too stupid! I promise!

ShadyAce80 · Aug 23, 2012

This thread is for those who have what they may feel is a stupid or simple question. Please read through the thread and use the search first. I know Google doesn't always like to make it easy to find answers, so lets work together to give answers where we can. And please remember you will be reported for flaming others.

Remember, the only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask.

Thanks goes to lumin30 for coming up with this idea. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494423

Photo deletion

Hi. I have some albums on my phone I would like to delete and cannot figure it out, even with google.

They are the instant upload and then another with the same instant upload circle thing in the bottom left corner. I'd really like them gone and don't want it to happen anymore. Can anyone help? Thank you.

I was having the same issue and the only thing I was able to do was change the view. I am using the stock gallery and if you touch the menu button, select "view by" and then select "content in device." I hope this helps some.

Ext SD-Card

Does anyone know how to make the external SD card your default? Especially for photos taken and stored?

There's an option in the camera settings to save to external SD. (Assuming you're on stock Samsung ROM).

Hi.

What do batteries run on?

Also, if I melt some dry ice, can I liquid cool my phone without it getting wet?

Thanks for this! I'm not on stock ROM but I looked around in the settings and found it!

No problem. Any TouchWiz based ROM should have the stock camera and it should be there. CM10/AOKP ROMs do not have this option yet.

I need some rooting info. I haven't yet done anything to my phone as of yet. I understand there is a way to root without tripping the counter and if you do a way to reset the counter. My first question is there a way to reset the modified tag or will it revert when returned to stock? And second one is will flashing stock back onto the phone for warranty purposes or whatever trip the counter? I'm sure these have both been addressed and I am still searching.

Does anyone remember how to search? Just wondering, not flaming anyone. That is just my stupid question.

Flashing back to stock will not trip the meter. An app on the market, Triangle away will reset your meter (use it right before flashing stock, while the phone is still rooted). There is a no trip method to root, using Odin, in the development sub forum stickies.

Thanks for the info. I was familiar with Triangle away but just wanted to double check on the restore.

I think I'm about ready to take the plunge on rooting this new phone.

have to answ
Theres a little pink bunny beating on a big bass drum. The faster he beats the more electricity your battery puts out. When he gets tired you plug your phone up so he can rest. You know he's well rested when you see 100%. Then he does it all over again. Amazing. Someone else will have to answer your dry ice question. dry ice floats
