Guys how to remove notification of 'Data Usage Warning' there is no option to clear in notification center.but I can clear other notifications messages of facebook,new mail etc?

Just tap the notification. A dialog box will appear where you can change the limit of data usage.

Dude, at least try the method described. You will see an option "Set Mobile Data Limit" which you can uncheck to remove the warning notification.

I uninstalled 'google search' app via link2SD now the search button on phone does nothing when on home screen. Can I assign any function for this key?

Guys can someone let me know how to take backup of my contacts, videos/pics on my SGS2. I can't connect it to my PC using USB cable. Can I connect using Wifi and take a backup on my PC using router?

 

[Vyom]

how much internal memory is dedicated for apps only ???

There is no such thing as dedicated memory. Apps are capable of using every bit of memory given to them.

Two options.
1: Backup everything to card and use a card reader to copy data to the PC

2: Use apps like dropbox, sms backup+ to take backup of stuff on cloud.

wrong. mobiles without support for memory card have dedicated memory allocated just for apps.

 

[ajayritik]

sam you have any suggestions for my query?

 

[coderunknown]

contacts can be backup to google servers and is usually on by default when you login for the first time though mobile. I am not sure how to backup video & pics apart from plugging the memory card using a card reader.

ok another way i think is to use VPN. Android have built in VPN support or to make the mobile act like a server (using ESFile Explorer. It has a ready to use feature for creating server) and accessing the files from PC. Though i have never done anything like this so can't say the exact process.

Yes. I was talking about the phones which have memory card. AFAIK, most of the Android phones support external card.
But also didn't know what you said!

@ajayritik: Dropbox is the most useful and easy way to do it online.

today you are acting really weird. so he uploads the vids/pics to dropbox and again download them to PC

Well, I just recommended dropbox since its easy, and its the last resort when OP can't connect mobile to PC using a cable, and doesn't have a card reader, or don't have the knowledge of configuring VPN stuff.

PS: But pardon me today. I guess I should refrain from posting in the forum for a couple of days at least.

Spoiler

There are a lot of reasons. Two of them being, bad health (loose motions) and the wait for the Offer Letter from my new employer!!.

Hi,

I used Kies air to transfer files from desktop [browser] to memory card. When I browse through Internal SD card the photos which I took and saved in DCIM/camera is gone.

Is that a bug I found a similar story


I used Undelete app to recover but nothing shows up. Shall I connect it to PC and scan using Recuva.
