File Size Or File Count Limit?

PGB1213
Thank You Again Svim for taking lots of your time to explain and educate! I've found your explanations very interesting, indeed.

I learned a lot from the articles you linked. As you mentioned, I was somewhat familiar with OS X file structure and knew the basics of Unix. But Android was a mystery to me- so much of a mystery that I was afraid to explore too deeply for fear of wrecking something.

Your explanation of how Android is not more complicated, just different puts everything into clear perspective. One would think, since I have worked with Mac, Windows, DOS and a little Unix that I would have realized that Android is "simply different". (Now that I've read your linked article, the Android file system structure makes a whole lot more sense to me than Windows ever did. But DOS still is my favorite file structure.)

Actually, before the SD card problems, I had been having phone booting trouble and had to do a factory reset. Before I nuked the phone, I dived (dove?) deeper into the file system than I have in the past. (There was nothing to lose at that point.) The exploring was interesting.

Of course, some of my applications don't store things where I would expect (Example = Camera ignores DCIM and goes to Pictures). I was also surprised to see apps that I moved to SD have files on the phone storage as well. The small ones I attribute to the app's "get going" files, but the larges ones are a mystery.

Thank You Again. I sure learned a lot from your posts. And thanks DannyDet for your thoughts on the SD card. (You were right, it is intermittently bad, as tested with read-write cycles on the computer.)

When I get brave enough, perhaps I'll try a root to get rid of the AT&T apps that don't work, but track anyway. (Not to mention run in the background whether started or not, like Hot Spots.) I'll also be happy to be able to delete the ZTE apps that also don't work. (Disabling does not stop AT&T or ZTE apps. I guess they own the phone, not me.)

Enjoy This Day!

WHILE loop not exiting

It just frustrates me that logically I can't see anything wrong. Possibly this particular brand of phone doesn't support threading very well...?

I don't really see anything wrong either, not sure why a particular phone would be failing when others aren't. But here is how I would approach what you're trying to do:

First, split your onCreateView into two functions, where you currently have the while - with a small addition:
Code: 
public void onCreateView() {
    // ...
    Log.i("notif", "3");
    
    GetNotificationsNewMySQL getNotificationsNewMySQL = new GetNotificationsNewMySQL(this);
    getNotificationsNewMySQL.execute("");
}

public void notificationsLoaded() {
    Log.i("notif", "4");
    // ...
}
From how I'm reading this, I assume GetNotificationsNewMySQL() is an AsyncTask class? Add a fragment param to your doInBackground() - so something like:
Code: 
private class GetNotificationsNewMySQL extends AsyncTask<FragmentMain,Void,Void> {
    FragmentMain callingFragment;
    // ...
    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Fragment... params) {
        callingFragment = params[0];
        // ...
    }
and add an onPostExecute:
Code: 
    protected void onPostExecute(Void v) {
        callingFragment.notificationsLoaded();
    }

I don't know for sure if this will work with Fragments, but I have a couple apps where I follow a similar construct with Activities. Hopefully this will at least put you on a path to a solution.

Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i Firmware Update Help

D
Hey Everyone,
I just got my 1st "Smartphone" ....
Not Quite what I was Hoping for .. With all the Preinstalled Apps which are not much value to me...

Gotta be something better than what's installed - So I Appreciate ALL THE HELP I CAN GET, Thanking you ALL in Advance...

I NEVER bought a Phone, to "Activate with a Service Plan" but something to:

*Connect to WiFi
*Install a couple of Apks/Apps? - like Hangouts, Google Voice, etc... Something to Connect to Hotspots and make some free calls/ texts/ and maybe a bit of Surfing...


I think the 1st Thing is to get rid of all the Clutter to make this "Smartphone"- WORK FOR ME.

Please, if you can offer some Suggestions, (Detailed Instructions Please) ...on What to Install and HOW?
I've watched a few Videos and I seem to have TROUBLE with ALMOST EVERYTHING...
KIES and ODIN - can't validate/Verify or something...

When Plugged into my Desktop... I Don't seem to be getting anywhere with that!- Though I thought I downloaded a couple of Windows Updates.

NOT SURE if I know how to download/COPY a Program/firmare onto an SD CARD and RUN/Install it on the Smartphone -

I've Done a few Hard Resets.
Not Sure about Rooting...-(Similar to a Hard Reset but Different Option in Boot Menu?)!

Please, Lets Get Started... Here some of the SPECS:

PLATFORM
OS Android OS, v2.3 (Gingerbread)
Chipset Qualcomm MSM7227 Snapdragon S1
CPU 800 MHz ARM 11
GPU Adreno 200

Any other Information needed?

Help with my tv I need to install apps and have no app store

svim
What is the brand and model I.D. of the TV?
It might not be a matter of even being able to install any apps/software onto the TV itself but rather you'll need to buy the appropriate set-top box or device so the TV can be connected to your home network. Then you can use a mobile device (smartphone or tablet) as a remote controller, installing the apps you need to your mobile device. Which, just to clarify things, also leads to the question of do you have WiFi setup at home?

Notifications go silent on vibrate

O
Hi all,

It seems that the latest update made my notifications go silent when I put it on vibrate. My phone used to vibrate when I get texts and emails but now they go silent. Anyone else experience this?

The only times it vibrates now are for phone calls.

I also noticed the "Notifications" line is grayed out in the attached picture.

Help My android does not work on home wifi, but works everywhere else

C
Unforgiven said:
Some devices have a hard time when encountering a router with the SSID for 2.4GHz and 5GHz set to the same thing (e.g. both set to MyNetwork). I ran into this some time in the past (maybe a doorbell I was testing) and simply renamed my 5Ghz network MyNetwork5G and all was good.

I'm not a huge network guru, so I don't remember or understand the particulars, but it worked for me.

Thanks for the input. I'll check into it.
